Jagged City - Chapter 150 No turning back

Secretary Gao didn't dare to rest, but he was startled and frightened. When he saw Lin Tao coming back, he relaxed a little. He went back to the bus and drank some hot water for a nap.

Lin Tao walked up to the rescue team leader, who quickly reported the situation to Lin Tao, pointed to the map of the mine and said, "The vertical distance of the mine is 260 meters, and it is 500 meters ahead along the mine pit. The coal position is 250 meters away. Sixty rescuers are trying their best to open the channel. The preliminary estimate is that the landslide distance is more than [-] meters. So far, no workers have been found and the victims have not been contacted. Rescue materials and required supports are being transported continuously. Come here, it is estimated that all passages will be opened in about four days." The rescue team leader has been engaged in rescue work for many years and is very experienced.I have been rescued under the mine for six hours, and I just changed shifts half an hour ago, because the rescue work is very exhausting and must be carried out in rotation.

"How many people can clean up landslides at the same time? Is it all mechanical cleaning?"

"Only two people can be used for mechanical operation, ten people are constantly supporting, and more than 20 people help clean up and transport by hand. If there are too many, it will not be needed. However, the provincial rescue team is almost here, and the rescue intensity will be increased by then, and the rapid rotation will The speed of rescue was shortened. In addition, for fear of causing a second landslide, the bracket had to be reinforced, which wasted some time.”

Lin Tao listened carefully, looking at the derrick not far away, and the elevator that could only go up and down 15 people at a time. A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he called the deputy mayor Zhang Yun who was helping to maintain order not far away.

"Mayor Lin!" Zhang Yun said sadly, and his face was haggard.

"Mayor Zhang, Secretary Gao has heart disease, and Mayor Xu is not in good health when he is old. You need to worry more about the command on the ground. I will go down and have a look."

"Go down? That's too dangerous!" Zhang Yun looked at Lin Tao in astonishment. Although he worked hard, he never thought about going down the dark mine that swallowed people's lives. Thinking about it makes people shudder.

"Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety, not to mention there are people from the rescue team below, maintain the scene well, let people disperse irrelevant people, the families of the victims are really unwilling to leave, and set up tents to provide food and medical treatment." Lin Tao finished striding meteors. Go to the mine.Xiao Qin ran over quickly.He is Lin Tao's bodyguard, regardless of the mountains and fires in front of him, he will stand in front of the leader.

Lin Tao knew what he meant, and immediately said, "Xiao Qin, are you going to do something?"

"I don't have a handy tool to go down the mine. Go to the person in charge of the mine and ask him to help make a shovel for digging coal, and replace the wooden handle with an iron pipe. The shovel is preferably a thin steel plate, about one centimeter thick. The width is three times that of a normal shovel, and the length has to be increased by half. This is an order, and it must be completed as quickly as possible, and it will be sent to me as soon as it is done."

"Chief, I can ask someone else to do it, but I'll go down with you."

"implement!"

"Yes!" Xiao Qinhong ran away with her eyes closed.

"Mayor Lin, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Tao pick up the hat with a miner's lamp and put it on his head, the rescue team leader Peng Fei quickly ran over to stop Lin Tao.

"I'm going down the well to see what's going on!"

"Mayor Lin, this is not the time to be a hero. The non-professionals are very dangerous." Peng Fei said loudly, feeling very dissatisfied with the young mayor in his heart. How many people who went into the mine for the first time could not breathe, how many fainted, not to mention the collapsed mines.If Lin Tao went down and died inside, he would also be responsible.

"My life is the same as the comrades in the well, it is not honorable, and I am not as weak as you seem." Lin Tao stomped his feet, and the road paved with granite strips was cracked by Lin Tao, like a heavy man. Hammer down.

Peng Fei stared at the gravel under his feet with wide eyes, a little unbelievable, swallowed and said:

"I'll accompany you down."

"Zhang Quan, you are in charge of communicating with the underground team members. Keep an eye out for new situations. I'll go down there." Peng Fei ordered his subordinates to help Lin Tao change into the yellow raincoat that went down the well.Waterproof trousers with boots attached, belted.

Peng Fei led Lin Tao to stand on the elevator, pressed the button secretly, and said it was an elevator, but it was actually a big iron frame with steel plates on the bottom, steel bars on both sides, and a big box surrounded by wooden boards.The two of them descended slowly with the rumble of the noose rolling, and the light that shone down from above dimmed after passing a hundred meters.

Time seemed to pass very slowly. The two of them sank into the dark shaft. It was not the first time Lin Tao had entered the ground. In the mysterious tomb in the tropical rainforest, the underground stairs were much more eerie and deeper than this.Peng Fei followed the light of the miner's lamp above his head, looked at Lin Tao's cheeks, and sighed in his heart, although Mayor Lin had seen it on TV, he felt younger when he saw the real person, and Lin Tao's face was calm, his eyes were burning, and there was no trace of The look of panic has to be admired.

After 15 minutes, the elevator finally stopped, and Lin Tao walked forward.The inside of the mine is not narrow. It is three meters high and five meters wide. There are several wires on it. There is a fluorescent lamp every ten meters on both sides. The degree is only about 65 degrees. It is not very bright, and the passage looks very dark , and the reinforced wooden boards are constantly dripping with water seepage. This kind of mine pit is really dangerous. The tunnels below the regular coal mines should be supported by reinforced concrete reinforced with more than 20 cm thick iron plates. Obviously, in order to save money, safety is ignored here. Thick wooden pillars are good enough to support, although there are occasional iron plates, but they are sparse, and it seems that they are only supported in very important places.Digging coal in this kind of place is simply like killing your life.There are no rails for transporting coal below, and modified diesel dump trucks are used. This simple coal transport car must have been rebuilt underground by transporting parts.Lin Tao stepped on the ground paved with coal gangue, occasionally puddles appeared.Lin Tao strode forward, Peng Fei had to quicken his pace to keep up.

While trotting, he said: "The landslides and rocks have all been transported to Pit No. [-]—"

Lin Tao walked quickly, observing the condition of the tunnel, while listening to Peng Fei's introduction. Fortunately, the landslide did not cause the rupture of the water veins, otherwise the rescue would not have been possible.Even so, when he walked towards Pit No. [-], he was already walking on accumulated water. Seeing these scenes strengthened Lin Tao's determination to implement safe mining in the coal industry. Enterprises that do not meet the regulations and coal mines that do not meet safety production standards are resolutely banned closed.In Lin Tao’s eyes, the scattered coals on the ground seemed to be the flesh and blood of coal miners. He used to heat the house where he lived in the Northern Medical University, and he never felt anything when he saw a large amount of raw coal being transported into the campus. Things can be excavated in large quantities with a forklift.Walking into this dark tunnel today, I can't help admiring the coal miners.It is such a group of people who, in the dark underground, risked their lives to take raw coal to light thousands of families and warm the world.Lin Tao's heart was very heavy, and he quickened his pace again. Peng Fei had no choice but to run, thinking that the Mayor Lin was walking faster than me, and that his foot just before going down the well broke a stone. Could it be true? The legendary martial arts master, did not expect such a person to exist in China, Peng Fei was very excited.

Ear-piercing noises came from his ears, and Lin Tao looked at the busy rescue team in front of him, sweating profusely, throwing earth and rocks onto the cart.

Lin Tao sniffed, a smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of soil.Lin Tao asked: "Is the smell of gunpowder caused by blasting, or is it the smell of the coal pit itself?"

"I don't know, but hydraulic shearers have been used for mining in recent years, and those using blasting methods seem to have been eradicated, and they shouldn't be scattered here—" Captain Peng Fei was also very puzzled, Lin Tao's heart trembled, could it be Yes, someone intentionally blew up the coal mine?

"Captain, why don't you rest for a while, this can't be done in a day or two - who is this? A comrade-in-arms from the province? It's quite young, brother." A team member in his thirties shouted, His face was covered with dust and streaked with sweat.

"I—" Peng Fei saw that Lin Tao had picked up the big shovel next to him and walked over.

"This big brother has worked hard, I'm here to help." Lin Tao joined the team of transporting earth and rocks with a big shovel in his hand.A shovel picked up twice as much soil as others, and threw it onto the cart.

"Brother, you are new to the industry. You can't pick up so much at a time. You will run out of energy in a while." Said the team member next to you.

"It's okay, I'm strong!" Lin Tao said, while shoveling the soil quickly, others threw it once, he threw it twice, and the speed increased a little bit, and others once threw it three times. It turned into astonishment, and I said in my heart, this kid really has a tiger's energy, and he has caught up with my speed of shoveling the soil with all my strength, but it is not bad if I can last for 10 minutes.

However, his gaze quickly changed from astonishment to astonishment, because Lin Tao's speed was still accelerating. Others made one shovel, and he had four shovels. This speed seemed to be achieved only by Wang Dali in the team, but it must not exceed 5 minutes.As soon as he swallowed his saliva, the three or four team members next to him were stunned by this novice, because Lin Tao's speed was still accelerating, as if a mechanically controlled shovel was constantly thrown up and down.In the end, everyone simply stopped and looked at an earth dragon flying towards the car in front of them, because Lin Tao's speed could not be seen, as if the earth flew out automatically, just like a sand pump.Stones the size of a few feet were also mixed in the earth dragon and flew into the earth truck.

"Team—captain—is this a newly developed intelligent robot?" A team member stood beside the captain and asked with his mouth open.Lin Tao almost got angry when he heard it, and there was a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.This fucking kid must be a fucking guy.

"Your sister's, it's Mayor Lin of our Xiliang government, no big or small. Mayor Lin, don't mind, this kid has no education?" Captain Peng Fei slapped the team member's head hard.

"Put it down, I'm a regular junior college, and you're enrolling in a literacy class."

"It's still poor! Don't look at it stupidly, there are many people and strength, let's do it together!" Peng Fei picked up the shovel.Everyone moved again.

Lin Tao watched the exhausted people speeding up again, and he couldn't help but said while working: "You don't need to compare with me, just follow the normal speed."

The team member muttered softly: "Is it really a flesh man, not a newly developed humanoid robot?"

Lin Tao's shoveling speed alone was faster than more than a dozen people, and the piles of soil shoveled by the machine decreased rapidly, but Lin Tao felt that he was still too strong to use. one percent.

On the ground, an electrician in the coal mine is making an extra-large shovel according to Xiao Qin’s request, and welding the steel pipes directly to an over-sized shovel. This shovel is made of an iron plate that is two feet long and two feet five To make the spade face, weld the sides with iron plates six inches wide to form a concave surface.

"It must be welded firmly!" Xiao Qin shouted.

"Don't worry, I'm using the maximum current. After welding, it's like being pressed out of the mold. You can't break it with a hammer, so you have to cut it again. But - making such a big shovel is difficult to hold. , who can make it, can it be connected to the machine?" The master wondered while welding.

"Just do it, be fast, and ensure the quality. Time waits for no one." Xiao Qin was very anxious, wondering what was going on with Lin Tao down there, and it had been almost half an hour.

"Look, if it wasn't for the police stopping me, I would have gone down to rescue my team-mates. There are quite a few of my buddies inside, and my brother-in-law is still inside!" said the master, wiping the tears off his face with his sleeve. .

Xiao Qin's heart moved, and he asked, "Who made you go down the well?"

"Our team leader received a phone call from the boss, saying that he would go down to the well for a day and give him a special subsidy of [-] yuan, and then he would make a [-]-ton coal deal."

"You didn't see the boss?"

"Since the coal mine was closed, people have come to the mine for inspection every three to five days. The boss has been anxious to ask someone to find a relationship, but it doesn't work. Three days ago, he said he was going to meet a big man. Yesterday morning, our team leader received a call. He told us to go down to the mine, and he was responsible for the accident, so we dug coal. No one thought that when we came out for dinner, there was a muffled noise from the mine, which was so loud that the ground trembled a little. We thought it was an earthquake Who the hell would have thought that the coal mine collapsed. Although a few people died in this mine, they were all killed by accidental falling coals, but there has never been a landslide. People here say that the soil above the mine is very It is solid, as if it has been rammed. Although the support is very ordinary, it is also very safe. How could it collapse? The No. [-] hole is very strong, and there are no large cracks. Although coal mining is dangerous, we are not stupid. , we won’t go into a dangerous mine if we want to get out of it—” The master’s story from the beginning turned into a sad soliloquy in the end, but the work under his hands never stopped, and the sparks kept flickering on the shovel with.
