"In the process of exploration and sampling, it was found that the original coal mine supplement that has been mined is not very tight, between the surface layer and the limestone under the mine, there are huge cavities in many places, and the surface soil layer is mostly fine sand and gravel, if there is a natural disaster such as a flash flood, it is very easy to have a major collapse accident, and even directly affect the safety of people's lives and livestock on this land." Mr. Wang looked at Zhou Siguodao. Seeing that Zhou Siguo was listening carefully, Mr. Wang said again: "Where there are mountains, there is water, coupled with the special geological structure underground, a huge water system has been formed under the Liangzhuang Coal Mine, which can also be called a natural underground reservoir. However, now El Niño is frequent, and if there is a drought, the groundwater is over-extracted, and if there is no replenishment; or a major flood, it may bring unpredictable secondary disasters to Liangzhuang. However, Liangzhuang also has a good resource advantage ....... ”

"Resource advantage?" Zhou Siguo seemed to have heard it wrong, and seemed to be eager to understand the reason, so he stared at Mr. Wang with wide eyes, as if Mr. Wang was giving him a treasure. Mr. Wang nodded lightly, and Mr. Wang said: "Generally speaking, the special structure of underground limestone has a common feature, that is, the elements attached to it are easy to dissolve into the water......" Zhou Siguo seemed to understand Mr. Wang's intentions: "You mean, in the future, groundwater development can be carried out in Liangzhuang to produce mineral water?" ”

Mr. Wang nodded lightly and said, "According to the general law, this is the case, but as for whether it meets the standards, it is necessary to take groundwater samples for detailed laboratory analysis." ”

Zhou Siguo recorded carefully in his notebook, and suddenly Zhou Siguo seemed to remember something, looked up at Mr. Wang, and said, "Do you still need to conduct detailed exploration of the actual stock of groundwater?" ”

Mr. Wang saw Zhou Siguo's thoughts, smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said: "I have already explored for your Secretary Zhou, and now I have preliminarily proved that the reserves are more than one billion cubic meters, and it is a natural underground giant reservoir." If you produce mineral water, you see how much commercial value it has, far more than the value of producing coal or continuing to mine coal gangue, which is enough for you to develop for a long time. In addition, if a major natural disaster does not occur, the rainwater from the mountains in the southern mountains can be used as a water source to effectively replenish it, and the prospects for the development of this underground natural reservoir will be immeasurable. ”

"It's just wonderful. This is really God, no, it was your king who gave me a big gift bag. Zhou Siguo's face was full of surprise, indescribable.

Looking at Zhou Siguo's elated appearance, Mr. Wang seemed to be very calm, and he didn't seem to want to spoil Zhou Siguo's interest, so he pretended to be casual: "But then again, things are always divided into two. ”

Zhou Siguo immediately heard something from Mr. Wang's words, and his face suddenly became solemn. Mr. Wang understood Zhou Siguo's thoughts at this time, so he said indifferently: "There are advantages and disadvantages, and the two are always a pair of contradictions." ”

"Contradiction?" Zhou Siguo's eyebrows frowned, and he seemed to be able to wring out a little water. Suddenly, Zhou Siguo seemed to think of something, looked at Mr. Wang, and seemed to be saying to himself: "With the development of groundwater resources, it will cause the groundwater to decline rapidly, and the original structure will be quickly broken. The end result was a collapse of the ground attachment ....... ”

Zhou Siguo didn't dare to imagine it any longer, looked at Mr. Wang with dull eyes, and said: "At that time, it will be possible to collapse the entire Liangzhuang mining area and form a huge lake. ”

Mr. Wang nodded and said softly, "This is exactly what I'm worried about." ”

"Are the consequences really that serious?" Zhou Siguo said eagerly, very uneasy.

Mr. Wang nodded lightly again, and said softly: "Maybe it will be beyond people's imagination." ”

Suddenly, Zhou Siguo remembered the weather forecast two days ago and said that there may be strong convective weather over the sky around Mashan in the past two days, and it is possible to produce heavy to heavy rain. Thinking of this, Zhou Siguo hurriedly walked out of Mr. Wang's temporary office and looked up at the sky. The sky was shining brightly, and a few white clouds were occasionally floating in the blue sky, which seemed to have not changed much from usual. Zhou Siguo squatted down again, looked at the corner of the wall, and saw that the ants were still lining up in groups to forage for food, without the slightest sign of rain, so he slowly stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Mr. Wang didn't know what was going on, so he followed closely behind Zhou Siguo, looking at Zhou Siguo's unbelievable actions, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

Zhou Siguo seemed to see Mr. Wang's thoughts, got up and walked slowly to the room, and told Mr. Wang about his worries. Mr. Wang couldn't help but glance up at the sky, and said to himself: "It is said that in June, the child's face will change, although it is not June, but capriciousness is nature, who can tell the things of nature?" In particular, the prolonged autumn rains are even more terrible. ”

"Autumn rain is more terrible?" Zhou Siguo turned around sharply and looked at Mr. Wang with sword eyebrows. Mr. Wang still nodded lightly.

"Mr. Wang, can you explain your words more clearly?" Walking into the room, Zhou Siguo came to the place where he had just sat and took a sip of tea.

Mr. Wang did not answer immediately, but came to the desk, sat down next to Zhou Siguo, also took a sip of tea, and said: "Think about it, the terrain of the entire Liangzhuang is high in the south and low in the north, and there is a flood control river in the north. And this autumn rain is different....... ”

Zhou Siguo seemed to understand something, and said casually: "The continuous autumn rain is more likely to accumulate on the surface of the Liangzhuang mining area, and then penetrate into the ground, which is very easy to cause structural collapse. ”

"If that happens, it will have catastrophic consequences." Mr. Wang added.

"And if there is an earthquake, even if it is a mild earthquake, the consequences are not the same?" Zhou Siguo looked at Mr. Wang in astonishment, and Mr. Wang said almost without thinking: "That will be more terrible than a mudslide or geological collapse." ”

Zhou Siguo didn't say anything anymore, he drank tea by himself, as if he was thinking about something, Mr. Wang couldn't bear to disturb Zhou Siguo, holding a glass of water, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Siguo.

I don't know what Zhou Siguo seems to have remembered again, and he can't stop shaking his head. Mr. Wang knew that Zhou Siguo was planning something big, but he didn't know what he was thinking, looking at Zhou Siguo's abnormal behavior, his eyes were full of puzzlement. Zhou Siguo gently put the teacup in his hand on the desk in front of him, looked at Mr. Wang with trusting eyes and said, "Mr. Wang, can you do a good job of keeping it confidential for me?" Dust in your heart for a lifetime, or even forever, to take to the grave. ”

Mr. Wang didn't know what Zhou Siguo was thinking at this time, so it was not easy to answer directly, so he smiled and said, "You have to tell me something?" It's so mysterious, as if the sky is about to fall. ”

Zhou Siguo saw that Mr. Wang was suspicious, so he smiled and said, "Don't you still trust my old Zhou?" Seeing that Zhou Siguo had misunderstood him, Mr. Wang hurriedly said: "You know, I am a water conservancy geological exploration worker. I am responsible for my work. ”

"But I'm the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I have to be responsible for the people here?" Zhou Siguo looked at Mr. Wang with earnest eyes.

Mr. Wang no longer spoke, like the brain of a high-speed rotating machine was constantly speculating on Zhou Siguo's thoughts, suddenly, Mr. Wang remembered what Zhou Siguo had said to him when he first met, as an old friend, he was an expert specially invited by Zhou Siguo from the provincial capital, and all the exploration was only responsible for Zhou Siguo, and the exploration results report was only reported to Zhou Siguo alone, and it seemed that Zhou Siguo had a basic understanding of the geological outline of Liangzhuang in advance, and felt more and more that there may be an amazing secret hidden in it. Zhou Siguo may be using himself in order to achieve ulterior purposes. And at the beginning, he fell into the trap carefully set by Zhou Siguo. As a friend for many years, Mr. Wang is not good at telling all the things in his heart, but his face is a little bored, and he said indifferently: "Secretary Zhou, can you be more specific and clear?" ”

"My meaning is very clear, I want you not to write about the situation of Liangzhuang's groundwater resources in the report, and not to tell anyone." Zhou Siguo looked at Mr. Wang with a solemn gaze, and said in an unquestionable tone.

Sure enough, as Mr. Wang expected, Zhou Siguo wanted to shut down the coal mine because of the huge economic benefits brought by the abundant groundwater resources. And the investment is also very fast, the government is also very good management, a few high-power pumping machines, plus a simple bottling machine, and buy some laboratory equipment, that a lot of silver is like this rich groundwater, rolling in, the government will sit and wait for the money. But in that case, it will suffer the people of this land, and it may cause the entire mining area to collapse, and if this is the case, it will indicate the loss of tens of thousands of lives in an instant. However, Zhou Siguo is very exculpable, the geological exploration report does not state, and he does not understand the underground geological conditions, so he will not bear any responsibility. Mr. Wang felt more and more terrible, and felt more and more that Zhou Siguo in front of him had become stranger, but because of his years of affection, especially in the face of Zhou Siguo's dignity, it was difficult to tear his face apart, so he said coldly: "I have the obligation to write all the exploration results, and even the future geological development and evolution, into my report." Otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty. I can't afford this responsibility? ”

Zhou Siguo saw that the persuasion failed, so he said: "But I am the secretary of the municipal party committee, and it is also my duty to consider the people of this land for generations?" Zhou Siguo looked at Mr. Wang with almost begging eyes. Mr. Wang fell silent, as if he was experiencing a difficult choice in his heart. Zhou Siguo said again: "In addition, I still want to engage in water development? ”

"Do you think about the possible consequences of doing this?" Mr. Wang still looked cold.

"The consequences? I thought about it, that is, it is possible to cause a large area of the ground to collapse. Zhou Siguo said, it seems that Mr. Wang's worries have been expected by Zhou Siguo, and it seems that Zhou Siguo is very calm.

"And what about the collapse?" Suddenly, Mr. Wang's emotions became a little excited.

Zhou Siguo seemed to hold back some words in his heart, but he didn't seem to know where to start, so he said blankly: "All the land may be submerged." ”

"Why would you do this when you knew there was going to be a serious natural disaster?"
