It's good luck that no one dies in a blasting accident, but luck doesn't work every day. In the frenzied atmosphere of the patriarchs who did everything to mine iron ore and catch up with the schedule, safety accidents occurred from time to time. Accidents and accidents happen almost every day.

As a result of the surprise production of the machinery factory, many products made by indigenous workers were shipped directly to Sanya, and it is not surprising that the accident rate remained high for the unskilled and indifferent indigenous operators who were trained by the raid. Less than a week after landing, two boilers exploded, killing eleven people. Then when the automatic brick making machine was running, the parts suddenly flew out, killing one person and injuring several people.

As for the casualties caused by careless operation of machinery, there will be one or two times every three or five days, and the poor safety production situation surprised Zhuo Tianmin. On average, 0.778 people die here almost every day. This is still near the beach, and when the conditions are more difficult in the hinterland, won't the death toll go up?

Wang Luobin was not interested in his proposal to "reduce the workload and strengthen safety education".

"What we want now is iron ore, more iron ore." Wang Luobin said, "There are more dead people, but if you educate them, it will be useful?" ”

"It's better than doing nothing—"

"Our task is to mine iron ore as soon as possible," Wang said, "and everything has to revolve around this theme." ”

"But there were too many casualties." Zhuo Tianmin still has to argue.

"New people will be shipped, and these comrades who have lost their lives will replenish us."

Zhuo Tianmin was still hesitating, Wang Luobin knew that this person was about to be soft-hearted, so in order to avoid his psychological burden, he had to add a few more words: "Strengthen education every day before eating and going to bed." Let's take some more people to be construction safety officers. ”

"And the quality of the machine, isn't this a matter of carelessness" Zhuo Tianmin was indignant. The quality of the steel produced locally in Lingao is mixed, and the sudden expansion of production has left many hidden dangers. In particular, the riveting of the boiler was all made by Zhou Billy's disciples. The roughness of the work makes people dare not approach it when they see it.

"We can present a report to the Director of Manufacturing." Wang Luobin was noncommittal. In another time and space, such a major safety incident would naturally be investigated, and the machine in question would have to be temporarily deactivated. Here, however, the decommissioning of the machine means a delay in the development schedule.

Zhuo Tianmin also wanted to ask what means were used to ensure safe production as much as possible, but it was difficult for him to accept the answer to this false story. But even if he asks questions, there is no result, and Wang Luobin will never agree to use any means to slow down the construction - even if he himself is in power, he may not have the courage to do so. You must know that Operation Giant in Sanya is known in the newspapers as the number one operation "related to the fortunes of the country". The concept of "coal-iron complex" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone who travels through it, if they go against the trend, they will only hit their heads and bleed, not to mention that when they are in power, they don't like themselves, even the ordinary patriarchs below may not be able to see themselves and don't say it, what should I do with my son? Bringing his son to this different time and space with all the hard work, isn't it just to fight for him an unprecedented glorious future?

Thinking of this, his blood cooled.

"Then write a report - the quality of the equipment is related to the safety of everyone, or Xiangshang mentioned it in person." Zhuo Tianmin said, "I'll write it." ”

"We can co-sign this report," Mr. Wang said, "and there are other things that can be done to reassure people about morale." ”

So the next day, He Fanghui received the task: to find a cemetery.

"The terrain should be high. The surrounding scenery should be good. Wang Luobin instructed him, "Let's see if there are any Feng Shui gentlemen among the natives, and let's go and see together." ”

"Is it used to bury laborers?"

"Of course, it's too demoralizing to bury you now." Wang Luobin said, "It doesn't matter if the dead are dead, the key is that the living can't stand it." ”

"I understand that." He Fanghui nodded, "Make a place similar to Cuigang Cemetery." ”

"Yes, and it's a bit bigger. To think about later. ”

It just so happened that Hu Xun's master knew a little bit about this, so he was asked to help He Fang return to work.

He Fanghui originally grew up in Lingshui near Sanya, and this area of Sanya had been to at least dozens of times in the old time and space. Soon he found a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, a spot he had painstakingly found. First of all, it should not be too far away from the coast of the Dadong Sea, otherwise it will be difficult to use, and secondly, it should not hinder the future development of real estate - the coast of the Dadong Sea will be an important resort for the group in the future, so the location must be hidden and protected from typhoons.

The cemetery adopts the same pattern as Cuigang, which is not sealed or mound, and only covers the ground with stone monuments. The ground is paved with lawns, trees and flowers are planted on all sides, making it the same as the park, and with the blue sky and white clouds and sea in the distance, it is enough to make the living feel satisfied.

Of course, this is only a plan for the future, and there is nothing at this stage, but the surroundings are quite satisfactory. The master said that although this land may not make future generations rich, the children and grandchildren are safe, and the family is prosperous. He probably thought that this was an auspicious place that the Australian pirates were preparing for their own use, so he made a fuss about the words "peace and security" of his descendants, thinking that he could get right into his heart.

"They will never have children and grandchildren." He Fanghui sighed. In fact, he has never been interested in the life or death of laborers. But at this moment, when choosing a cemetery for them, I suddenly realized that these dead natives were also human beings, and many of them had no parents, no wives and children, and now they had disappeared, leaving nothing behind.

After his death, the focus is barely worthy of the cornerstone of these great undertakings.

He Fang called back a few labor teams to carry out simple clean-up and construction work, clearing and leveling the ground, repairing slope protection and drainage ditches, pruning trees, and building a simple memorial tower. It's a bit of a look after more than ten days. After a brief and solemn memorial service in front of the labor camp at Yulinbao, the ashes of the first group of dead laborers and sailors, escorted by army soldiers, were buried in them - some of them drowned or died in explosions, so they had to be buried in a few pieces of clothing and other things to talk about as a burial mound.

However, the posthumous mourning of the workers could not curb the increasing number of casualties in the construction, although Zhuo Tianmin began to use the safety officer system in the workers, vigorously carried out safety education every day before eating and going to bed, and also strengthened the maintenance of equipment, the death toll is still rising.

The construction of a railway to Tianduku accounted for the vast majority of work-related injuries. The Yulin-Tiandu route passes through tropical jungles and valleys, with relatively complex geological conditions and harsh natural environments. The time of construction was the time of falling rocks, fallen logs, and landslides caused many casualties.

Grasshoppers in the valley area caused great trouble for construction. The locusts bleed and weakened the laborers. It has become a major problem that plagues the project. The workers were given mountain socks - special socks for mountain people to prevent locusts, made of multiple layers of cloth, which were difficult for locusts to steal. The trouser legs, sleeves, and neck are all covered. Each person was also given a bamboo tube of salt. When you find a locust bite, you can use salt to remove it.

Shan Daoqian didn't care about polluting the environment, but he didn't have any chemicals in his hands, so he had to use rough physical means. Bulldozers, blasting and burning were widely used to completely destroy the living environment of the locusts. Shan ordered all vegetation 50 meters away along the line to be cleared, supplemented by terrain modifications, including laying foundations and digging trenches for drainage.

Drainage is the most concerned thing for Shan Daoqian, drainage is not only to eliminate locusts but also to eliminate the mosquito breeding environment, for small low-lying land, directly use a bulldozer to bury the waste soil, Hainan malaria problem everywhere. You can't afford not to guard against it. When Wang Tao was in Yulin, the garrison took antimalarial drugs on time for prevention. There are so many people coming now that it is impossible to prevent it in this way.

Every day, the laborers come to the construction site in strict clothes, working in a temperature of nearly 30 degrees, and after a while, they will be soaked with thick work clothes. Take a break every hour of work. The crossing group has prepared enough summer medicine to distribute at any time. Smoke from burning Artemisia annua fills the road, a method used by the health team to disperse mosquitoes and prevent bites from spreading the disease.

The roadbed stretches meter by meter. For every meter of roadbed, one meter of railroad tracks is laid. Diesel tractors powered by gas engines tow long flatbed trucks along freshly paved tracks to transport replacement labor, food, medicine, clean drinking water, and tools and equipment materials to the frontline construction site. It greatly saves the consumption of labor and time for handling materials.

Sometimes it was the construction team of Lingao Telecom who came by rail car, and it was Shan Liang who led the team -- this is his own job. The rail car is equipped with telephone poles and rolls of telegraph wires transported from Lingao through wood tar anti-corrosion, this kind of telegraph wire is enameled wire, and then the outside is protected by hemp wire and then coated with a layer of lacquer, which is the most corrosion-resistant telegraph line in the group at this stage.

Under the command of Shan Liang, the construction team of Lingao Telecom erected telegraph lines along the line, and the telegraph was reached wherever the track was laid, which was the basic principle of the crossing group in its future expansion.

But the most severe test is still to come, and finally the "swinger" person was found in the construction team. The hippo sent to Sanya to take care of the health work went to the ward to take a look: some of the six people who were admitted to the hospital were pale and shivering, and some were flushed and sweating profusely. is a clear symptom of malaria.

"It's malaria." The hippopotamus didn't need to be diagnosed again and came to the conclusion, "Isolate it separately first." He added, "Put mosquito repellent on the windows." ”

"Yes, doctor." Guo Fu, the head nurse of the Sanya Health Center, is now a key nurse at the Ministry of Health, and her diligence and talent have made her stand out among the first generation of nursing students, and the Ministry of Health is considering training her to become a first-generation indigenous doctor. This time, I made her the head nurse and I had the implication of increasing my clinical experience.

"Tomorrow you're going to have a meeting with the hygienists." The hippo continued, "First, ask them to check the mosquito control in each camp, especially if there is any standing water? Those who have mosquito nets should urge them to hang them well, dormitories without mosquito nets must be installed with mosquito-proof window screens according to regulations, and Artemisia annua should be burned 24 hours a day -- the smoker dedicated to burning Artemisia annua should arrive in a few days. During the transition period, the hygienist should remind everyone to pay attention to fire prevention. ”

The status of the hygienists in the Sanya development team is very high, and the big leaders of the Sanya Construction Headquarters have specially improved the status of the hygienists in order to make them speak effectively, so that they have enough prestige. Any offense against the hygienist will be prosecuted, and those who do not follow the instructions will be dragged to the communal in the labor camp and spanked until he fully understands the meaning of hygiene.

"Second, you have to do the work of distributing malaria medicine to the hygienists and make sure that each of them takes it on time. This includes yourself and other nurses, too. "The hygienist, despite his poor level, is the only liliang he can rely on now, and ensuring the health of this group of people is the top priority.

"Yes, doctor." Guo Fu said.

"Third, although the army and navy have their own hygienists, you also have to go to patrol and supervise. The Army, in particular, often has to go deep into the interior. Nor can the monitoring of their outbreaks be relaxed. ”

"Yes, doctor."

"Two nurses are assigned to take care of malaria patients." Hippo began to give medical orders, "Needless to say, take your medicine on time." Keep warm, cool and hydrate. By the way, give the patient a first-level sick meal. ”

"I've written it all down." Guo Fu looked at the hippopotamus respectfully, seeing what the doctor who had taught him a lot of knowledge had anything to say.

"Our difficulties have just begun." The hippopotamus took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Guo Fu quickly took out a match from his pocket and lit it for him.

“xiexie。” The hippopotamus took a puff of his cigarette, "It's almost 40 days since D-Day, and the incubation period for malaria is about to pass, and we will soon have a high incidence of malaria." It's not easy to pick up this burden. ”

"With you, any difficulty can be overcome." Guo Fu had a look of "complete trust" in him.

"I'm not a god." The hippopotamus smiled bitterly, feeling more and more that the burden on his body was not light. The reserve of malaria drugs is always limited, I wonder if I can cope with it?

"The doctor is not a god, but he is a miracle doctor." Guo Fu smiled sweetly. This smile made the hippopotamus's heart flutter for a while. This little lady is becoming more and more loved.

The occurrence of malaria patients attracted the attention of the command -- this was the issue that everyone was most concerned about when the plan was made. An emergency meeting was immediately held in Yulinbao to discuss how to deal with it. Not to mention the mortality problem, once a large number of workers fall ill, it is enough to delay the development schedule.
