Chapter 19: Rescue and Self-Rescue (Chapter 4)
To paraphrase a lyric to describe Xiaomo's current mood: I was conquered by you like this!
Brothers and sisters are so mighty! Xiaomo expressed his convincing! But Xiaomo is coding words, do you have the confidence to let Xiaomo add more chapter 5 today? Ha ha! Wait until eleven o'clock!
Tang Feng felt that he was about to die, just like the star core space, which was drying up and about to crack.
"How many days is this?" Tang Feng, who was lying on the ground, asked to himself, but there was nothing else around except loneliness and darkness.
That pot of water had been drunk yesterday at all, Tang Feng overestimated his restraint, he also underestimated how great his body's thirst for water was when thirst really came, and how high the temptation of that pot of water was.
In fact, if Tang Feng's body was fine, maybe he would still be able to restrain himself, but Tang Feng, who was underground, had a great problem with his body, and he launched a high fever! Obviously, the part of the broken leg is inflamed, which causes the body's instinctive reaction - fever!
As soon as a person has a fever, the demand for water will naturally increase greatly, and Tang Feng is not a saint or a god, so he will naturally have such a reaction. In addition, it may have been five or six days outside, and he didn't hear even the slightest sound of rescue, Tang Feng was a little desperate, so last night, Tang Feng poured the remaining half of the pot of water into his stomach in one go.
"His sister and sister, even if he dies, Lao Tzu can't be a thirsty ghost!" Tang Feng, who was a little dazed, thought so before drinking the water in anger, and then today, Tang Feng regretted his impulsiveness yesterday.
But there is no way to regret it, the kettle is now empty, and his body temperature is constantly rising.
Tang Feng's leg was broken by the crushed rock splashed during the explosion, not only the bone was broken, but there was also a shocking traumatic wound on his left calf, according to common sense, even if there is no medical condition for such a serious traumatic injury, at least the wound must be cleaned with clean water, so as to avoid wound infection.
It's a pity that Tang Feng, who was buried in the ground, didn't even have the conditions to clean the wound, and the only remaining pot of water was used to save his life, how could it be used to clean the wound?
Therefore, now Tang Feng not only regrets drinking all the water in the kettle in one go yesterday, but also regrets why he didn't wash the wound with the water in the kettle in the first place? Even if you use half of it to clean the wound, maybe the wound will not become infected and inflamed.
But now it's too late to say anything, Tang Feng can only be like a stranded whale now, helplessly opening his chapped lips and breathing heavily, and then slowly waiting for death to come.
Just before Tang Feng's consciousness gradually fell into the boundless darkness, Tang Feng vaguely seemed to hear the sound of tapping, and at the same time, an increasingly obvious vibration sound sounded overhead.
"Someone? Well, someone? The vibration didn't seem right, it was the vibration of a large machine in action! These two sudden voices seemed to be like a clear spring injected into the dry land, and they immediately opened the eyes of the dying Tang Feng.
"There's still hope to get out!" Tang Feng screamed excitedly, but unfortunately the hoarse voice was not much louder than the voice of a kitten that had been hungry for half a month.
At this time, Tang Feng's left calf had almost no feeling, and the pain seemed to have disappeared, and all that was left was numbness. Turned over hard, and then unscrewed the miner's lamp above his head, the flickering light was like the life of Tang Feng now, which could be extinguished anytime and anywhere.
With the help of the flickering light, Tang Feng worked hard to pick up the claw hammer that was thrown on the ground, and the claw hammer that was originally held in his hand was the same as playing, but it seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds at this time! Tang Feng gritted his teeth, and with the last bit of strength on his body, he slammed the hammer head of the claw hammer on the huge rock beside him.
One, two, three
A strong desire to survive. Hope supported Tang Feng, who should have fallen, the instinct that burst out when he suddenly saw the existence of hope in a desperate situation, so that Tang Feng slowly but very firmly smashed the claw hammer into the rock again and again.
Smail. August is a driver of a large tracked drill rig in Kalgoorlie, almost 200 kilometres from the Norsman town. Just over a week ago, August and his companions received a mission to launch a rescue mission in the small town of Norseman.
August was a warm-hearted man who liked to help others, otherwise he would not have been a member of the Kalgoorlie mine rescue team, so after hearing the news that a gas explosion had occurred in one of Northman's iron mines, and eight people had been buried underground, he immediately drove the large rescue equipment to the trailer with his companions, and then rushed to Northman at a gallop.
Auguste, who has been doing rescue work for fifteen years, knows very well that time is the most precious thing for those who are buried. Even a second earlier could have saved a person's life.
It is precisely because of this habit and understanding that August's rescue team became the first professional rescue team to arrive at the mine where the mine accident occurred. Unfortunately, after a week of rescue, none of the rescue teams found any signs of life underground.
It's no wonder that, after seeing the shocking landslide at the point of the explosion, even rescue professionals like August don't have much hope for the guys underground. Not to mention anything else, the huge collapse area of nearly 10,000 square meters in the explosion area alone is enough to prove how strong the gas explosion was at that time.
In the eyes of a professional rescuer like August, such a strong explosion could occur unless the mine was a deep shaft and went hundreds of meters deep, perhaps with a solid rock layer to resist the force of the explosion, so that the people in the deepest part of the mine could have a chance to breathe. Unfortunately, this mine is only a shallow shaft, and it is a very shallow mine, under such a violent explosion, there is no thick enough rock layer to buffer, and there is almost no chance of survival for the people working underground. Not to mention a violent landslide, the shock wave generated by the explosion is enough to kill all the workers underground.
The actual situation also confirmed August's inference, in several other operation sites, there was not a single sign of life at all, even if the drilling rig was used to penetrate the completely collapsed rock layer into the original underground tunnel, no one was found alive. Even if the fiber optic probe was followed down the wellhead for optical observation, no signs of life were found.
In the past week, August has driven his rig to drill four wells in succession through the buried underground tunnels, but without exception, all these works are useless. So today, Auguste and the others are ready to go to the blast area to do the last drilling work.
According to the manager of the thin-skinned survey company, there were also two workers working underground in the area before the explosion.
However, August was not optimistic about the rescue work in this area, and no signs of life were found in the few operation points far away from the explosion area, let alone the two people working near the center of the explosion, I am afraid that at the moment of the explosion, the bodies of these two people will be torn to pieces by the powerful shock wave, and even if they do not die, they will definitely be burned into ashes by the high temperature of the explosion.
The most important thing is that this area has completely collapsed, even if those two people dodge the shock wave and the high temperature, they can't avoid the collapse of the twenty or thirty meters thick rock formation! The rocks will crush them into flesh
But that's how strange things are, August's drilling rig has not yet driven to the designated place, and suddenly he saw the thin and thin American holding an infrasonic life detector yelling, and stopping his drilling rig. What's going on?
August turned off the crawler rig, rolled down the window glass of the cab and looked out, and heard the thin and thin Yankee shouting happily: "There is a knocking sound underground!" There was a knocking sound in the ground."
