Chapter 777: Mine Explosion
The removal of the evil spirits gave me a temporary peace, but I knew that the peace was only temporary, and like the undercurrent, it would be even more violent when it came again.
Originally, in the following days, I was waiting for Lin Jiao and Chu Meiji to come to the door to beg me, but other things came to the door.
This morning, Long Long came back from outside, put the breakfast on the table, and hurriedly said to me: "Qiming, do you know? There was a big event just happened in Kyoto, and I heard about it when I just went to buy breakfast. ”
"What can make you rush like this? Let's talk slowly, we don't have to intervene anyway. I put down the newspaper and saw that Long Long was a little flustered, so I said to her with a smile.
"Didn't you say that yesterday I felt a little shaky? It was a coal mine on the outskirts of southern Kyoto, and there was a sudden explosion, and it was still under construction, and there were more than 30 people in it, all buried in it. Long Long told me in a colorful voice, and when I heard the explosion, I frowned, it turned out that yesterday I felt the ground tremble, because of the explosion.
However, the result seemed to be very tragic, 30 people were buried alive in the ground, and I said with some concern: "Did that person be rescued?"
"I just heard that the relevant departments are carrying out rescue, but I don't know the specific situation. Long Long said to me in some confusion.
If it happened yesterday, it would have been almost a day since now, and if it can't be saved, I'm afraid these miners will be more than lucky.
"I hope these miners are safe, otherwise it will be too miserable, more than thirty people!" Long Long prayed with his hands together, and then said to me.
Li Ying on the side said indignantly, "Every year, there are mine explosions and landslides, and this time it happened here in Kyoto, and I don't know where the country's money in mine safety is spent every year, and I can't see the effect at all." ”
I didn't answer, I just sighed softly, I don't understand these political things, and I don't want to understand them.
"We don't need to worry about these things, naturally the state is in charge, we still live well, more important than anything else!" I didn't plan to continue to discuss too much on this topic, so I said to her in conclusion.
"That's right, I'd better eat steamed buns, I'm starving. Li Ying also felt that it was boring to continue, so she pouted and picked up the bun and ate it.
But I see that Long Long seems to care very much, and we are a little distracted, and we don't listen anymore.
"What's the matter? I didn't even answer!" I asked curiously, seeing that she was a little distracted.
"It's nothing, I just feel like this time...... Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Long Long stopped talking, then shook his head and said.
I'm a little weird, but what Long Long doesn't want to say, I've never been reluctant.
"It seems that I came at the right time, leave me one!" At this time, Li Meiyan came from outside the door with a hearty laugh, she came over in casual clothes, and saw that we were eating breakfast, so she smiled and said.
When she came up to me, gave me a look, and signaled that she would have something to say to me alone, she sat down as she should.
"Cousin, do you know Wang Qiming too?" As soon as she sat down, Li Ying pointed to me and Li Meiyan and asked in disbelief, she looked shocked.
At this time, I realized that the relationship between the two of them was cousins, but their personalities were more like sisters, and they were both so strong.
"I've known each other for a long time, but Wang Qiming deliberately didn't mention me in order to soak you, the eldest lady of the Li family, isn't it, Boss Wang?" Li Meiyan said a little sourly.
"Cousin, what are you talking about?, where is Wang Qiming......" Li Ying immediately said with some disgust, but her little face turned red shyly.
"Ahem, Li Meiyan's food can't stop your mouth, what nonsense, I just can't find the right time to say it. I glared at her, and said something that would make you vomit blood.
"Hehe, I heard you guys discussing very fiercely at the door just now, what kind of news do you want to hear?" she gave me a roll of the eyes in return, sneered, didn't care about my feelings at all, and looked directly at Long Long and asked.
Long Long's personality is more easy-going, so she told Li Meiyan about it, and after listening to it, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "It turns out that you are talking about the mine explosion that happened yesterday!"
"Listen to your tone, do you know the latest news?" I asked with some curiosity as I saw her confident expression.
"This incident happened in Kyoto, and the degree of secrecy is very high, and I am the same as you, I only know that more than thirty people are currently buried alive, and the rest do not know. Li Meiyan denied my speculation and talked to us calmly, but soon she changed her words and said proudly: "But I know a little about the history of this mine." ”
"Really, then let's talk about it too, let us also have a long insight. I finished eating a bun in three or two, and then turned to Li Meiyan and said.
"Actually, I've heard this too, and I don't know how much credibility it has, so you can listen to it as a story. Seeing that I took the initiative to ask, she looked around and solemnly stated.
"Don't worry, we won't doubt anything, just listen to the story. "I knew she might be worried that we'd be talking all over the place, so I said something to reassure her.
Everyone else nodded, indicating that as I said, they wouldn't think too much about the story.
Li Meiyan saw that all of us were still interested, so she no longer hesitated, and said recallingly: "This mine has been built in the great wave of national industrialization, and you also know that the whole country advocates ironmaking, especially steel, to do national construction, so ......."
From Li Meiyan's account, we can know that this mine started in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and because of the response to the call, everyone was not afraid of hardship and tiredness to mine this coal mine.
At first, everything was fine, but as the mining progressed, a problem arose, that is, the groundwater began to diffuse, and several pumping equipment were used, but it still did not work.
So the people at that time found an expert, who was responsible for coming over and taking the lead in mining, and in that era, everyone wanted to contribute to the country, and they didn't pay attention to the difficulties at all, they thought that no matter how big the difficulties were, they could still be overcome.
Experts called on everyone to concentrate high-power pumping equipment and mine coal while pumping water.
Everyone didn't think about it that much, they just listened to the expert's orders and did so.
It was this somewhat risky act that caused the first landslide......
