Chapter 1: The Earth Dragon Turns Over
Rebirth: It is the incredible process of getting rid of the negative karmic bondage of the past and gaining a new life.
'Rebirth' is a Buddhist term for the soul to travel from one place to another.
The saying in the world is that when a person dies, because you have practiced well, your soul is born into another world without troubles, which is a good wish of people, and in the Buddhist language it is called "Bliss in Rebirth". Of course, not everyone can be reborn in bliss, this kind of good wish is equivalent to winning the first prize for sentient beings, otherwise, there will be no reincarnation in the world, and the underworld should be streamlined, hehe, although this seems to be a joke, but it is a fact...
In our world, there have been two schools of thought that have been debated for centuries: materialism and idealism, with materialism emphasizing matter and idealism emphasizing consciousness in the elements that make up things. And the truth is...
It's a bit philosophical, hehe, to put it simply:
1. Man dies: Man dies like a lamp goes out, dust returns to dust, and nothing is left.
2. Man is dead: It is the body that dies, while the soul remains, either reincarnation or rebirth.
Is there a third possibility?
Suppose that in addition to the physical and chemical indicators, the composition of matter has a third property...
The world is full of wonders, and our understanding of the universe is only confined to a corner, just like a blind man touching an elephant...
The vast starry sky, in the vast universe, even the Milky Way, is only a drop in the ocean, not to mention us human beings...
Rolling red dust, among all living beings, he has experienced reincarnation, and his obsession and determination are unswerving...
When he, Sun Yi, was 20 years old, he looked at the couples on campus and wrote on the title page of "Graduation Message": I want to conquer the earth, the moon, and even the entire universe, not just a girl's heart...
A few years later, he became a water expert, a staunch materialist.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Sun Yi walked into the conference room of the Qinchuan Water Affairs Bureau, and a white middle-aged man walked briskly, holding Sun Yi's hand tightly: "Mr. Sun is early, please give me more guidance this time!" ”
"Dean Yang is polite, everyone sit, sit."
Sun Yi shook Dean Yang with his right hand, and with his left hand, he hurriedly motioned for the other seven or eight peers who were standing respectfully to take a seat.
In the conference room with bright and clean windows, several staff members were busy making tea and pouring water for everyone, and Sun Yi found a position marked with his name on the oval large conference table and sat down, which was the left position of the chairman's seat.
"Mr. Sun is early!"
"Brother Sun, morning!"
"Teacher Sun, it's early!"
The participants came one after another, and there were people constantly greeting each other. The one who shouted the brother was the deputy mayor of Qinchuan City, and the teachers who called the teacher were basically former senior engineering training course students, including Director Zhang and Deputy Director Wu of the Water Affairs Bureau.
At this time, the staff handed over a meeting sign-in sheet, and Sun Yi filled it in the column of his name, unit, position, and title
Sun Yi Provincial Water Conservancy Department Deputy Chief Engineer Teaching High School.
The conference room projector played the theme of the meeting: Qinchuan Water Diversion Project Tunnel Engineering Expert Demonstration Meeting
Sun Yi flipped through the work diary and filled in the date information on the header: Monday, May 12, 2008, fine.
At 8:30, Vice Mayor Liu nodded to Director Zhang, and Director Zhang signaled for Deputy Director Wu's meeting to begin.
"Comrades, the representatives and experts of the notified units have arrived on time, and now I announce that the expert demonstration meeting of the tunnel engineering of the Qinchuan Water Diversion Project has officially begun."
"The duration of the meeting is scheduled for two days, and the main agenda is referred to the agenda of the meeting. There are three items on the agenda at noon today, first of all, we ask Mayor Liu to give instructions to the meeting on behalf of the city, everyone is welcome! ”
Applause...
Vice Mayor Liu raised his right hand: "Comrades, experts, I have invited you here today in my busy schedule for the sake of clean drinking water for the 1 million people of Qinchuan City and the industrial and agricultural production of the city. ”
。。。
"Comrades, the project was suspended for rectification due to major safety accidents for one year, and I hope that all participating units will accept the lesson, put down their burdens, attach importance to the ideology, implement the organization, rigorous technical solutions, and ensure that the Qinchuan water diversion project is completed on time and in accordance with quality and quantity. Thank you! ”
Applause...
Director Zhang: "Just now Mayor Liu made important instructions on the importance of the Qinchuan Water Diversion Project and the focus and requirements of our future work. ”
Deputy Director Wu: "Thank you Mayor Liu for giving us important instructions in your busy schedule, Mayor Liu is still going to attend an important meeting, let us send Mayor Liu off with warm applause again!" ”
Applause...
In the applause, Vice Mayor Liu stood up and shook hands with Director Zhang, turned around and patted Sun Yi on the shoulder: "Brother Sun, please." ”
Sun Yi hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands: "The mayor walks slowly." ”
The meeting continued in a tense and orderly manner...
Sun Yi was elected as the leader of the expert group.
Deputy Director Wu reported to the expert group on the progress of the current project, especially the major accident of the collapse of the 1# tunnel in detail.
Vice President Yang reported on the geological report of the re-survey and the related structural design.
Manager Tang of the construction unit reported on the construction plan and safety measures.
Sun Yi looked at the various materials on the conference table half a meter high, felt deeply powerless, looking at the conclusion of the accident, Sun Yi not only smiled bitterly, all parties were responsible, and each party bore the loss. And the newly formulated plan did not have new security funds, and Sun Yi really wanted to fold his hands and pray for God's blessing.
At eleven o'clock, Deputy Director Wu: "I just negotiated with Director Zhang and the conference affairs team, the morning meeting ended here, the on-site field visit at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and ended at 4 o'clock, leaving time for experts to read the information, hard work!" Please go to the second floor for dinner, and take a car to the construction site at 1 p.m., sorry, I didn't leave you a lunch break. ”
A group of more than 20 people arrived at the construction site on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Manager Tang of the construction unit: "Leaders and experts, our current position is the entrance of the 2# hole, the current depth of the 2# hole is 620m, and the lining is 400m, and the more than 200 meters in the hole can reflect the geological conditions. ”
Sun Yi took the hard hat handed over by the constructor, checked the situation of the hole face, frowned and greeted Manager Tang: "Manager Tang, you arrange for someone to hang all the cables hanging on the ground to the hole, and check and bandage the cable joints again!" ”
"Okay, okay, right away!" Manager Tang's face blushed.
Some of us are checking the geology and landforms, and some are still continuing the debate on the plan, waiting outside the cave for the project department to finish sorting out the cables.
Standing at the entrance of Cave 2 on the right bank of the canyon, you can see the exit of Cave 1 on the opposite side, the canyon is about 200 meters wide and more than 50 meters deep, the left and right sides are widened about 4 meters of construction road, and there is a steel bridge about 300 meters downstream to connect the right bank to the left bank, which is the only approach road.
"Everyone, look at the top of the mountain!" The girl who was in charge of taking pictures suddenly exclaimed...
So everyone looked up in the direction of the girl's finger, everyone was stunned, and the scene was silent...
I saw that the white clouds in the direction of the top of the mountain were rainbow light, like a huge human face, shining in the sun, which looked extremely weird.
Sun Yi felt as if a big mountain was pressing on his body, his heart couldn't stop trembling slightly, his mind was in chaos, he had never seen such a strange cloud, as if he was in a myth...
Woo-----, sound of the fan turning on pulls everyone back to reality.
"This can't be a precursor to an earthquake, is it?! Let's not go into the hole! Li Da Mei of the design institute shouted with a pale face.
"It's just that there are too many anomalies during this time!" A few people chimed in. Then there was a whisper, and everyone looked at Sun Yi, hoping that he would make a decision.
At this time, Sun was expressionless, his face was sluggish, and he didn't seem to hear everyone's discussion, at this time Director Bai, who attended the meeting of the Safety Supervision Bureau, spoke: "Comrades, this phenomenon has its own meteorological experts to explain, let's not guess here, a few days ago the TV was still refuting rumors, everyone is an intellectual, we must believe in science, we have a heavy task in the past two days, or hurry up and work!" Director Bai took the lead and walked towards the cave.
Although everyone was reluctant to do so, they followed one after another into the cave.
Sun Yi also followed everyone indifferently, walked behind five or six people, walked through the lining section, and Manager Tang introduced the excavation situation while walking.
"Why is there so much water, Manager Tang, you don't prepare rubber shoes, my leather shoes are in the water." There was a grumbling behind him.
"Got water? No, there was very little water in the cave before. Manager Tang wondered.
"Oh no, this water is coming up from the ground!"
Sun Yi woke up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Everyone get out of the hole, it's dangerous -----"
