Chapter 14 Water Seepage (2)

An Xiaoyu was already sitting on her bed at this time, although this bed was temporary, but it could still give her endless comfort, in such an empty room, she couldn't hear any sound, she couldn't see any scene, she knew that not far from this quiet corner, a storm had been set off, and the man she loved for the first time was in the center of the waves.

This is a great torture for a girl who has just become an adult. She stood up in the room, sat down again, stood up again, sat down again, over and over again, her unstoppable mind carrying her body to do useless work.

She suddenly remembered Zhang Shujie, the first friend she made after walking out of the tribe, she disappeared into the silent afternoon that day, just like today, which made her feel so powerless. An Xiaoyu's heart suddenly began to worry, and this worry became more and more intense and real in the delusion of knowing nothing.

Walking around the house again and again, An Xiaoyu wanted to go back and take a look at Chi Mo, but she didn't have the courage, she clearly remembered that her father once taught her: "When a man goes out hunting, a woman should honestly sit at home and wait, so that men can do their best when hunting." ”

Obviously, this is not a hunt, but it is a scene that requires everyone's full effort, so An Xiaoyu fiercely suppressed the anxiety in her heart and did not step out of the door.

However, things are not as simple as she thinks. As Chi Mo had a premonition, this beast tide was not just a double threat on the ground and in the air, the situation outside was certainly tense, but under such a tense situation, the seemingly calm and safe inside the base began to undergo amazing drastic changes.

The first person to discover the cause of this change was a miner named Chu Sui.

The miners of the Three Thousand Empire are not as cheap and low status as people think, in the mining industry of the Three Thousand Empire, the miners occupy a pivotal position, as the reserves of surface minerals become more and more scarce, the implementation of the resource development strategy of the Eastern Wilderness, the demand for miners who carry out complex operations under extreme conditions is getting higher and higher.

And due to the continuous improvement of the training process and the increase in safety protection, miners can not only get the state-approved drug physical improvement, but also enjoy many high subsidies and insurance, the probability of mine distress continues to fall, and many young people in the empire who have no long skills choose such an industry in order to support their families and earn their first pot of gold.

Chu Sui is such a young man.

Chu Sui, who is two years old, was born in a small county town in the intersection of the Eastern Desert and Dongyun in Linjiang Province, his family background is ordinary, his studies are bad, he has no skills, and he has no foundation for his life.

Finding the Donghuang Affairs Management Office and consulting the conditions and treatment of the miners in the resource base, Chu Sui was excited, and after discussing with his family, he signed up for the training of miners.

The miners of the Donghuang Resource Base are not healthy, young and strong, and have a normal IQ to take office. Some people seem to be as healthy as an ox, but if they are placed in an extreme environment, they are even more prone to sudden diseases than an old man; Although some people are very adaptable, they will cause great damage to the body if they have to carry out similar actions for a long time; There are even some spies trained by the countries of the Western Alliance, although they are not Terrans, but most of them are also mixed-blood, so people can't tell the difference.

Therefore, all those who sign up for the recruitment of miners must first go through a batch of selection, and those who do not meet the conditions of the East Wilderness for long-term work and those with suspicious identities will be eliminated first, and the rest will also be subject to physical drug improvement and basic knowledge and practical operation training for up to half a year, so that they can be called a junior miner apprentice.

Chu Sui has been working in this base for nearly two years, and as long as he works for another year, he can obtain the qualification to apply for a job transfer or resignation, apply to his superiors for a change of position, or directly take the money and leave to start his own business.

This young man full of dreams often looks forward to returning to his hometown with the good salary he has earned for three years and opening a high-end electronic appliance - a rare store in the small county where he lives. With this vision, he was able to get up every morning and complete his day's work with a hundred times the passion and energy, and soon left the apprenticeship.

At this moment, Chu Sui, as the team leader, led a team of eight miners to walk towards a mine that meandered downward, and their task this afternoon was to investigate the mineral situation at the bottom of the mine to determine whether to continue digging down.

He and his teammates walked carefully downward, and thanks to his vast experience in the mines, they quickly reached the bottom of the mine. After the division of labor, each person is responsible for the mineral survey in one direction, which is actually to insert the detector into the ground and wait for the detection results. When the results come out, they just need to take the instrument and go back to the analysis.

But when Chu Sui took the instrument in his hand and had enough strength to insert the probe into the ground, he suddenly found that the ground of the mine that originally contained copper ore and was extremely old was not as hard as the ground they usually encountered, but like a ball of sand.

Wondering, he reached out and touched the entire floor, only to find a wet. Chu Sui frowned, feeling that things were not simple, he pulled out the instrument, leaned over, put his ear on the ground, listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard the roar of the underground water flow, and the sound was not blurry.

Chu Sui was shocked, he stood up, feeling that something big was going to happen, he had never encountered this situation, he couldn't help but have a blank brain, desperately trying to recall what he had been taught during the training, when a large-scale mining disaster was about to happen or had happened, how should he save himself? How can I save my teammates? But two years have erased those memories.

He looked at his teammates who were still working around him sweating, and with a sense of luck, he thought about going back to report the situation of the engineer immediately.

What is it? Chu Sui stepped on it hard, but he didn't expect that the soles of his feet were quite elastic, and it seemed like stepping on a water balloon back and forth. Wait a minute! Water balloons?

Chu Sui's face turned blue instantly, he didn't dare to move, and nervously called his teammates twice, and all his teammates stood up and looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what happened to make his face so bad.

"What's wrong? Lao Chu, aren't you the hell? His teammates laughed and made fun of him.

He couldn't laugh at all, swallowed hard, and said, "The pit is seeping, run!" ”

Several people looked at him with wide eyes, looked at each other for a long time, and they finally determined that what Chu Sui said was not a joke.

Just after Chu Sui took his feet away, when everyone ran out of the ground that was originally raised like a water balloon, the gravel began to tumble and gush out, and after the gravel was sprayed out, leaving a spring that was still being expanded by the impact. The raging underground water rushed out of the ground with an angry wail, sprayed more than ten meters, hit the high roof of the mine, and splashed all around.

Soon, the bottom of the mine was flooded, and the rapid and crazy flow of water carried the large and small gravel into the mine, and soon caught up with Chu Sui and several people, flooding their feet, and soon spread to their necks, countless undercurrent vortices made them unable to settle down, and they could only keep screaming, being carried by the current to nowhere, and finally disappeared into the darkness of the huge mine.

A loud alarm sounded in the base, Bai Amaranth was in the warehouse at the main entrance of the base, temporarily repairing the damaged mecha that had been replaced, just got off the bracket, she heard the alarm in the base, she reached out and took the communicator, connected to the control room, and asked loudly: "What happened?" ”

After listening to the reply, her face changed instantly, she turned her head to look at Chi Mo, who was still standing at the command post, and walked to the inside of the base without thinking about it.

As soon as he opened the hatch and entered, Bai Amaranth was knocked down against the wall by a passing worker, the worker just glanced at it, and didn't even have time to apologize, so he continued to run forward, shouting loudly to the people in front of him while running: "Hurry up and bring lifesaving ropes and diving equipment, you can save as much as you can, and you, go quickly..."

The workers were far away, and the shouts were drowned out in the incessant footsteps, and Bai Amaranth calmed down and ran towards the control room.

The control was already in chaos, and warnings flashed on the huge screen, each of which meant that a hatch had been broken by the huge water pressure gushing out from the ground, and could no longer be controlled by the system.

The squad leader on duty in the control room saw the arrival of Bai Amaranth and hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation: a large amount of groundwater seeping out of the resource layer has impacted most of the pits, and only some lateral caves have been spared because of the complex structure of the caves. Almost all of the workers working in the mine were involved in this long mining disaster. A large amount of groundwater is gushing out, thinking about the living area rushing over, if the seepage of the building gap can not meet the water pressure relief, the regional passage will bear the brunt of the collapse.

"Team Leader Bai, what should I do?"

"Team Leader Bai, what do you say you should do?"

"Team Leader White..."

Bai Amaranth stared at the electronic control circuit of the hatch that was constantly starting to turn red, and she suddenly turned to the control squad leader and said, "Immediately call up the overall schematic diagram of all the hatches, corridors, and pipelines on the basement floor and the ground floor!" ”

"Yes!" The squad leader responded, his fingers clicked, and a huge base was immediately projected in the center of the control room, spreading out the structure of the two floors in the center to enlarge it, Bai Amaranth continued to command: "All the control personnel, analyze it immediately, through the opening and closing of the hatch, give up a part of the area for drainage, and use the hatch to seal the remaining area, and directly discharge the water seeping from the ground to the ground." ”

"Yes!"

Bai Amaranth carefully studied the overall structure diagram in front of him, constantly considering the possibility of any hatch to play a role, constantly demonstrating in his mind, constantly denying, and the remaining members of the control team were also carrying out various simulation verifications, but because the groundwater was not detected in the early stage of the base construction, it was difficult for countless hatches to temporarily find a solution for drainage.

However, just when they were anxiously busy, suddenly another voice reported: "Oh no, the water has risen to the living quarters!" ”

Suddenly, everyone's hearts trembled, and a shadow instantly cast on their faces.
