Chapter 20 Ascending the Well
Yesterday, there were seven chapters, mainly because the brothers and sisters are too mighty, and Xiaomo is grateful. Although Xiaomo really wants to continue to make such a big splash, Xiaomo still has work to do, so please allow Xiaomo to be busy with work first, and when he finds time, let's continue! There are only three watches today!
"Oh, damn it! Damn it! If we knew there were people here, we would have dug this side first! Oh my God, what the hell is that poor fellow down there? Is it Tim or Wind? Or are the guys all here? The leader was annoyed and smothered at his hair, which was not very much, and his mouth was chattering and complaining, not knowing whether to blame the rescue team or himself.
In fact, everyone, including the leader himself, when they saw this huge landslide area, unanimously believed that there was no longer a living inventory under the ground here, that is, Tang Feng and Tim had already equated themselves with dead people in everyone's minds.
It was because everyone had this idea that the limited rescue force began to prioritize the rescue of the victims at the other three operation sites. But the fact is so black humorous, the three operation sites that everyone thought could have survivors did not detect even the slightest life feature at all, but this place where it is most unlikely that survivors will survive, there is a knocking sound that makes everyone vibrate.
Knowing this, the most serious operation site of this landslide should be excavated and rescued as soon as possible, at least so that the buried people below can suffer less than a week!
The head stood anxiously next to the machine, babbling and muttering, with tears in his eyes, and the stubble on his face made the head look more like a wild man, and his chapped lips were full of blood blisters. For the chief, that day a week ago was a disaster that cannot be described in words.
The eight brothers who have been together for several years are gone, which is definitely a huge blow to the leader. As the owner of Explorer Inc., as the big brother of those adorable lads, Arnold. It is Stallone's responsibility to bring these good lads well, and over the years, Arnold. Stallone has always done well, even in the economic downturn in the past few years, he has not laid off even the stupidest person.
These lads are Arnold. Stallone's loved ones!
But these closest people disappeared in an instant. And the saddest thing for the leader is that even their bodies have a great chance that they will not be recovered. With such a serious landslide, almost the entire underground has been buried by millions of tons of rocks, and with the current human technology, these rocks are absolutely insurmountable.
Therefore, when the leader detected the knocking sound from the ground with the detector in his hand, the joy almost made the leader hysterical.
At that moment, the leader hoped that all the brothers would gather in this place, and then all the remaining ones would be rescued. The leader even thought that maybe when they first went down the mine, they followed Tim and Tang Feng to this operation site for some reason, so when the disaster happened, they did not find their traces in the other three operation sites, and then, the joking God gently plucked the strings of fate, and in this area where the collapse was most serious, all the eight guys who went down the mine were rescued!
The gas contained in the space of tens of thousands of square meters that Tang Feng encountered in the underground exploded, and the power was not at all imaginable by ordinary people, even these people present could not imagine it. However, when they began to dig into the area, they finally felt the tremendous power of the explosion.
The rock formation structure here in Western Australia is generally relatively stable, so the rock layer here can rarely see broken rock, and often a large area of soil is a single rock layer. This is true not only in Western Australia, but in a huge part of the whole of Australia. The most famous of all, the Ayers Rock, is the size of a small mountain, 348 meters high, with a base circumference of 9.4 kilometers, but it is a single rock in the world.
The Ayers Rock shows how stable the rock formations are throughout Australia. But the rock formations in this area in front of you are incredible, and rescuers who are accustomed to seeing Australian rock formations are deeply incredible.
Because in this area of the explosion, there is hardly a single rock with a volume of more than four cubic meters, that is, the rock layer that should have been one has been completely torn apart by the tremendous force of the gas explosion.
And this undoubtedly also greatly increases the difficulty of rescue, this kind of broken rock that has been completely dispersed, so that those large machinery do not dare to start at full strength, because after moving a rock, it is very likely to cause other rocks to move, and if with the increase of digging depth, because of this chain reaction, then even eventually lead to a catastrophic secondary collapse.
Therefore, in order to excavate a small area centered on the sound source of the percussion sound, it is absolutely impossible to use the excavation method of the previous three work sites, but it is necessary to dig out a large area of the upper layer of broken rock, and then excavate downward layer by layer, so as to avoid the occurrence of secondary landslides.
Therefore, although the place where Tang Feng was buried was only more than 30 meters from the ground, when the rescuers dug into Tang Feng's location, another day passed.
When Tang Feng was carried out with an eye patch, he had already been buried underground for more than two hundred hours! In other words, after being buried for eight and a half days, Tang Feng finally succeeded in ascending the well!
And when Tang Feng was carried out, the situation on his body, especially the injury to his left calf, even those rescuers who were used to seeing similar situations couldn't bear to look at it.
Tang Feng's entire left calf was almost invisible, the rotten flesh was constantly oozing yellow liquid, and the simple splint made by Tang Feng also made it clear to these rescuers that the young man's left calf should be broken.
And the most worrying thing for the rescuers is that the Tang Feng who was carried out had a high body temperature like a small stove, which also prompted the rescuers to call the helicopter over at the first time, and then several medical staff seemed to be fiddling with the corpse, quickly cooking the unresponsive Tang Feng, until these ambulance personnel took off with the helicopter and flew to Kalgoorlie.
Tang Feng's condition was very bad, and there was no such ambulance in the Norsman town, and it was too far away to go to Pass, the capital of Western Australia, so the attending doctor groaned a little and decided to go to Kalgoorlie for treatment.
Although Kalgoorlie is not as prosperous as Pass, it is also a small city, its prosperity far exceeds that of Norsman Town, and the medical conditions of Kalgoorlie are still very good, and most importantly, Kalgoorlie is less than 200 kilometers away from Northman, and it takes less than an hour for a helicopter to reach the hospital there.
