The Qingfeng Mining Bureau sent a deputy director to personally lead the team. The deputy director's surname is Zhang, he is in his forties, and his face is quite weathered, which shows that he has also worked outside all the year round, at least he has worked in this area before.

Deputy Director Zhang entered the big tent of the headquarters and introduced himself.

Cao Zhenqi immediately greeted him, shook hands with him tightly, and said: "Director Zhang, welcome, welcome, I am Cao Zhenqi, the secretary of the Haoyang Prefectural Committee, you are so good!" ”

"Cao Shuji, you're welcome, it's our duty to save the dead and help the wounded. Cao Shuji, can you give us a basic introduction to the basic situation first? ”

It can be seen that Deputy Director Zhang is also a person who focuses on his work, and after greeting him, he immediately cut to the point.

"Of course, Director Zhang, please!"

Cao Zhenqi hurriedly led him to the map, followed by Deputy Director Zhang, and two sturdy men in their thirties, who were estimated to be the actual leaders of the rescue brigade.

In the tent, the other leaders of the prefectural party committee are no longer there, and it is estimated that they are resting, after all, not everyone can stay up all night like this. Only Song Xiaowei and the commander of the military division remained. In addition, Yang Jianzhong, the mine manager of Hongqi Coal Mine, is also there. He is the "main ......", and he can't do it if he doesn't insist.

Several of them were red-eyed and exhausted.

At the moment, Yang Jianzhong was strong and introduced the situation of the collection to Deputy Director Zhang and others.

When Deputy Director Zhang heard this, he immediately said: "Cao Shuji, the top priority is to block the water inlet first. Intensify drainage. At the same time, a commando team was immediately organized to prepare to go down the well to clean up the mud and debris and open up a rescue channel. ”

At this time, Zhu Jianguo strode in and said, "Cao Shuji, the water inlet has been blocked. ”

Cao Zhen's face showed joy, and he said continuously: "Blocked? Great, great, Director Zhang, what should we do next? ”

Don't look at Cao Zhenqi is the secretary of the local committee, at this time, his attitude is still very correct, and he did not put the shelf of the local committee secretary and chalk, but chose to believe in the experts.

"Drain! Organize a commando! Deputy Director Zhang repeated again: "Cao Shuji, let's go to the wellhead to have a look!" ”

"Okay, Director Zhang, please!"

Cao Zhenqi personally accompanied Deputy Director Zhang and others out of the headquarters. Zhu Jianguo, Song Xiaowei, Liu Weihong and others hurriedly followed.

As soon as I arrived at the wellhead, I saw that more than a dozen young men from the rescue team had already removed several high-power water mercury from the car and were ready to install it. It seems that when they got the call for help, they knew that it was a water penetration accident and brought the mercury from the mining bureau. The professional rescue team is really different.

As soon as Deputy Director Zhang saw the various large and small mercury water at the wellhead, he frowned and said: "According to the situation introduced by Mine Manager Yang just now, the water in the underground has reached a certain depth, and the mercury in this water is far from enough. Cao Shuji, I suggest that another batch of mercury should be collected immediately, and the greater the power, the better. Water can be pumped from several wellheads at the same time, speeding up the speed. ”

Cao Zhenqi said: "We have already stepped up the mobilization. The incident happened suddenly, and it was difficult to mobilize so much mercury in the water at one moment. ”

Deputy Director Zhang nodded and said, "Now that the water inlet has been blocked, this is much easier." Cao Shu remembered that the measures for asking for help were still very effective. In my opinion, first organize a team and go down to the well to find out the situation. ”

Cao Zhendi nodded and said, "I think so too." Mine Chief Yang, you immediately mobilize a few old miners who are familiar with the underground situation, and go down the mine with the comrades of the rescue pack to feel the situation. ”

"Okay, good ......"

Yang Jianzhong agreed one after another, and ran away.

Deputy Director Zhang turned to a sturdy man behind him and said, "Xiao Xiao, you take a few people down." ”

Xiao Xiao hurriedly agreed, and then came to the rescue team and named a few names. The young men who were ordered began to wear work clothes and equipment for going down the well. Everything was in order.

Not long after, Yang Jianzhong also brought a few miners over and said: "Cao Shuji, this is the most experienced miner in our mine, and they are all squad leaders, and this is Section Chief Liang of the Safety Production Section." He was there when he was in the water. ”

Section Chief Liang is a man of about thirty-six or seventeen years old, and his face is quite ashamed. Obviously, he also felt that he was responsible for the water penetration accident, as the head of the safety production section.

Cao Zhenqi didn't blame him, but reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Comrade Xiaoliang, don't have any ideological baggage, the most important thing now is to save people." To be able to save one is a victory! Do you understand? ”

Section Chief Liang's tears flowed, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, Secretary Cao!" I'm going to do my best! ”

"Well, good. Prepare to go down the well, I await your good news. ”

Liu Weihong suddenly said: "Cao Shuji, I will also go down to the well to see." ”

"No way!" Cao Zhenqi didn't think about it, and immediately shook his head: "Mayor Liu, your post is in the position of commanding the rescue, you can't go down the well." ”

The tone was categorical, and there was no room for negotiation.

Zhu Jianguo also immediately said: "Comrade Weihong, don't be impulsive!" ”

The expression was unusually stern.

Just kidding!

Liu Zhongyuan's grandson, Zhu Jianguo will agree to him go down to the bottom of the mine under this situation? If something happens, who can afford it?

Deputy Director Zhang was a little surprised and asked, "This is ......?"

Liu Weihong hurriedly said: "Director Zhang, I am Liu Weihong, the mayor of Haoyang City. I want to go down the well and see for myself. ”

Deputy Director Zhang was obviously taken aback, and couldn't help but look Liu Weihong up and down a few times. This young man covered in muddy water, at first glance, thought he was a miner, but he was actually the mayor of Haoyang City? It's outrageous, right?

After a while, Deputy Director Zhang suppressed his surprise and said with a smile: "Mayor Liu, I admire your spirit very much. However, you can't go down the well.

It's a very professional job, the underground situation is very complicated, and everyone has to take care of their own safety. ”

This, the implication of the words is very clear: Mayor Xiao Liu, you better stop, don't go down and get in the way. What about a presentation at a conference? When you get to the well, you're a liability!

Zhu Jianguo immediately excused himself: "That's right, Weihong, Director Zhang has a point. The situation in the underground is unfamiliar to you, so you can't help. When the time comes, comrades will have to be distracted to take care of you. ”

Zhu Jianguo was also really anxious, so he bluntly said the meaning of "cumbersome". Fortunately, with his friendship with Liu Weihong, it is not too much for him to say this.

Liu Yihong couldn't help but smile bitterly. He just asked to go down the well together, which is also based on his consistent work style, and he is extremely conscientious and responsible for his work. The others didn't think much of it. Now that Zhu Jianguo and Deputy Director Zhang have said a word, they are dizzy, and they are not easy to open. Finish. Well, I think they have a point.

Cao Zhenqi said: "Mayor Liu, you have to believe the comrades of the rescue team, they will figure out the situation." ”

Liu Weihong was helpless, so he had to nod and promise: "Okay, Cao Shuji." ”

Under the arrangement of Deputy Director Zhang, Captain Xiao Xiao of the rescue team took five rescue team members, carrying a gas cylinder, and five senior miners who also carried a gas cylinder, and began to go down the mine one after another.

Water permeability accidents, not gas explosion and dust explosion accidents, the damage of the upper mine will not be very serious, and underground vehicles such as cranes can also be used.

The mine is more than 200 meters deep, and it is not so easy to go back and forth to investigate the situation, and it will take an hour or two to say the least.

The July sun is very poisonous, although it is still early in the morning, and after standing outside for a long time, it also makes people dizzy. Cao Zhenqi invited Deputy Director Zhang and others to go back to the tent to rest for a while. Cao Zhenqi, like everyone, stayed up all night, and at the moment he was a little unstable, and his feet began to float. After all, people in their fifties are not forgiving.

The tent was just as steaming and steaming.

As soon as he sat down, Yang Jianzhong had already arranged for the staff in the mine to bring breakfast. The first and second leaders of the city are all there, Yang Jianzhong naturally wants to do his best to do a good job of hospitality, breakfast is very Fengwei, porridge, soybean milk, steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, fritters, salted eggs, side dishes, etc., all available, the workmanship is very exquisite.

There was such a big accident in the Hongqi Coal Mine, and Yang Jianzhong was even uneasy. Although according to the current analysis, it was an accident and accidentally opened the river. But after all, there are 37 workers trapped underground, in case the rescue is not effective, causing heavy casualties, it will be enough for him, the mine manager, to drink a pot.

Now Yang Jianzhong must do his best to serve several leaders, hoping that the leaders can raise their noble hands and let him go afterwards. Of course, follow-up actions are also essential, those who should run must run, and those who should be sent must also be sent. Do you really hope that a few steamed buns can seek peace?

Cao Zhenqi beckoned: "Come, everyone has breakfast together, it's all hard work." Mine Chief Yang, the other comrades, have breakfast, right? In particular, the comrades of the rescue team must ensure good logistical supply. ”

Yang Jianzhong hurriedly said: "Some and some are ready, please rest assured that Cao Shuji." There will never be a shortage of logistical supplies. ”

"Well, that's good!"

Cao Zhen nodded, took the porridge in front of him first, took a sip, and ate some mustard. Don't look at staying up all night, rumbling in your stomach, really eating, and losing your appetite. This is how people are old and tired.

Zhu Jianguo's appetite is better than Cao Zhenqi, and his physical foundation is better than Cao Zhenqi, and he can eat and drink. Liu Weihong was even more unceremonious, he hadn't eaten two bites of a bun, and he had already grabbed the second one. Abundant physical strength depends on sufficient food to support.

Cao Zhenqi drank a few sips of porridge, turned to Deputy Director Zhang, and asked, "Director Zhang, based on your experience, what will be the result of the rescue?" ”

Deputy Director Zhang was also hungry after a night's journey, and said while eating steamed buns: "Cao Shuji, this may not be, the key depends on whether the workers in the underground at that time have rich experience. I just looked at the map, and there is a Huifeng Lane not far from Well No. 5, and if they can retreat there in time, there is hope of survival. ”

Cao Zhen nodded, looking worried. (To be continued)
