Chapter 136 Rescue
The image data collected by the cameras on the first working surface have been posted on the Han'an Base General Control Center and Vanadium Titanium Base Command Center, as well as on Tangning's tactical helmet.

A child wearing a huge helmet, wearing a large overalls, with the sleeves and trousers rolled up high, but still at the wrists and ankles, stood quietly in front of the huge tunnel entrance.

Children's feet are wrapped with pieces of cloth cut from work clothes, and then put on the soles of adult work boots, which are cut and reduced, and sandals made after wearing cables.

Judging from the small hands of the child holding the helmet, the child is very thin and pale. From birth to now, he has never seen natural light. Later, even the light is a luxury.

Tang Ning's mood was extremely urgent and excited. Just like herself, this child had woken up after a long period of dormancy.

Because the original immune body has no resistance during sleep, even after waking up, it will face severe survival challenges, and the possibility of surviving is extremely small.

But Zhang Jiyang's ability to survive in the vanadium-titanium mine by chance is a miracle of life.

"Boss!" At 03:30 in the afternoon, when Tang Ning was standing on the armored vehicle and restoring the photovoltaic panels to the Pluto soldier's back, Lu Qiao, who was in charge of dispatching and monitoring at the command center, suddenly heard an anxious voice.

"what happened?"

"The puddle that feeds the milling machine is out of water!"

"I rely on!"

"Don't worry, Xiaozhi is calling the sprinklers and fire trucks in the factory area. We are going to pump water outside the factory area and send it up."

"how much time is required?"

"One hour."

"How far is it to get through the tunnel now?"

"There are still two meters."

"There are two meters to adjust the water? Are you crazy?!"

"Boss?"

"Blast! Get the machine out, I'll do it!"

Jump on the seat of the armored vehicle: "Xiaozhi!"

"Got it, Dad!"

The armored vehicle drove up the mountain, and by the time Tangning arrived at the entrance of the Gulou Mountain tunnel, the team had already withdrawn all the machines.

"Good job!" Tangning patted Lu Qiao's shoulder first, "It's a dead end. Give me two grenades, regular ones!"

Lu Qiao quickly handed over two grenades.

"You guys go get the armored chassis on the car." Tangning took off the fragments of the grenade, and then pulled out the bone knife on her back. Regardless of the mud in the tunnel, she crawled in.

The diameter of the tunnel made by the milling machine is only [-] centimeters. The distance of [-] meters usually feels very short, but at this time it feels very long.

All the way to the bottom of the tunnel, Tangning used the supernatural power in her body, the bone knife shone brightly in the darkness, and easily inserted into the wall until it reached the handle.

Tangning cut a circle around the wall of the tunnel with the bone knife, then cut two holes in the middle and stuffed the grenade in. After switching to the remote control mode, she slid out of the tunnel.

Putting the knife back into its sheath, Tangning pressed the armor plate against the opening, "Turn on the screws!"

Now that Lu Qiao understood, he hurriedly called the team over, and everyone worked together to nail the armor plate to the hole with expansion bolts.

Tangning shouted to Xiaozhi again: "Xiaozhi, drive the armored vehicle over, block the entrance of the cave, and let Ji Yang leave!"

"okay!"

"You guys, go find some jacks."

Firmly pushing the jack between the armor plate and the door of the armored car, Tangning felt uneasy after thinking about it, and then adjusted the Pluto warrior up, put it on the armored car, started the ion engine, and pressed the detonation button.

A muffled sound of "bang" sounded in the tunnel wall, and the entire milling tunnel was filled with high-pressure gas like a gun bore. The huge force could not overturn the armor plate nailed to the concrete wall with expansion screws and the armored vehicles and Pluto behind it. Warriors can only vent their pressure in another direction.

Boom!On the monitoring light curtain, at the entrance of the tunnel on the first working surface, a puff of smoke and dust spewed out, and the tunnel was opened!

"Okay!" Han'an Base, Vanadium and Titanium Base, all those who cared about the little boy's fate and stared at the monitoring screen all cheered at this moment!
"Fan! Fan!" Lu Qiao was smart this time, and without waiting for Tangning to call, he called in the fan and blasted it into the tunnel.

After the smoke cleared, Tangning didn't talk to anyone, and immediately went inside again.

After crawling out of the hole, Tangning stood at the empty work surface, "Ji Yang! Ji Yang! Uncle is here!"

A small figure crawled out from the entrance of the tunnel leading to the next working surface: "Uncle Tangning!"

Both of them ran towards each other and hugged each other.

"It's okay." Tangning comforted the trembling child in her arms, "It's okay Ji Yang, uncle will take you out right away."

A remote control car dragged a hard plastic boat-shaped stretcher into the tunnel: "Boss, use this."

Tangning picked up Zhang Jiyang and sent him to the stretcher. She took off a pair of sunglasses from the nape of her neck and put them on for him, "Ji Yang, are you ready? We're going out."

"Ready."

"Okay, let's go—"

The team members standing outside dragged the rope attached to the stretcher and dragged the child out of the tunnel.

"Oh——" the team members happily threw their helmets into the air, screaming and jumping excitedly: "Success!"

Tangning also crawled out of the tunnel after her, and Zhang Qiuyi's voice rang out, "Tangning, carry little Ji Yang into the eco cabin. Let's do the physical examination first."

"Okay, Qiuyi, remember to report to Dean Wang and Secretary-General Pu."

"Understood." In Zhang Qiuyi's voice, there was also a rare excitement.

The child's physical function is quite weak, and long-term nutritional imbalance will definitely affect his health and development.

There is also a long-term lonely life underground, which may also cause him to have psychological barriers.

Therefore, after Tang Ning climbed out of the tunnel, the first thing he did was to tell the team members to continue to restore the vanadium and titanium base, use the shield machine to completely open the tunnel, and clean up the mine, while he himself sent Zhang Jiyang to the ecological cabin, and then drove back to Han'an .

……

……

The opening of the vanadium and titanium base gave the Academy of Sciences another point, and completely defeated Cao Guangyun's attempt to interfere with Tangning.

As for the subsequent restoration of the vanadium and titanium base, after two days, it is obvious that the relationship with Zizhou's ten cent contribution point is gone.

The next vanadium and titanium base will inevitably become a dividend shared by Han'an and Shudu, and the Academy of Sciences will have a lot of powerful bargaining chips with the Ministry of the Interior.

In the Office of the Joint Council, a meeting to discuss the future development of the vanadium and titanium base was held again.

Wang Li talked eloquently at the meeting: "Pauway Vanadium and Titanium Metal Co., Ltd. belongs to medium-sized deposits in the southwest of Shuzhou. Its vanadium and titanium mines are famous for their high grade, easy mining and convenient transportation conditions."

"During the same period, the mine had a production scale of 600 million tons of annual mining and 250 million tons of iron and titanium concentrates."

"And the industrial zone relying on it has the capacity to produce 100 million tons of vanadium-titanium alloy steel per year, as well as related manufacturing and processing capabilities."

"Fortunately, because the mining area was closed in a timely manner, and because of the existence of mutant rats in Chuanshi Lake, and the fact that the mine is not suitable for vegetation growth, the vanadium-titanium base has been preserved very well."

"If there is enough manpower, production can be resumed soon."

"Very good." Pu Xiuquan said, "Shuzhou's iron and steel rare earth deposits are mainly concentrated in Panxi, which is still a no-man's land. In these years, we have mainly used the stocks of the same period, as well as those from the ruins. recycled metal resources."

"People have no long-term considerations, but they must have near-term worries. It is conceivable that high-strength alloys and ordinary steel will be the bottleneck of our vigorous development in the future."

"So the recovery of this mining area is very important, and I think everyone should pay attention to it. Dean Wang, how many people are needed to resume production there?"

Wang Li said: "Only 1000 workers are needed for the mining and production of the vanadium and titanium base, but to ensure the normal production and life of these 1000 people, the supporting population, light industry, agriculture, service industry, Including security and internal affairs management, there will be about 3000 people.”

"And it's not just a problem with the vanadium-titanium base itself. I think the Secretary-General should be clear that Renshou Agricultural Base and Han'an Scientific Research Base, as the basic guarantee and scientific research technology guarantee for the vanadium-titanium base, can only support each other and develop together. Only in this way can we achieve greater results and play a greater role.”

"There is also Jingyan, which is a military guarantee. It is also very important to guard the nodes from Jiazhou to Renshou and Weiyuan." Zhang Yucheng's calm voice sounded, reminding everyone present not to ignore the existence of the military's will.

Pu Xiuquan said: "Commander Zhang's reminder is very timely. After the great victory in the Longquan Mountain Battle, our living space has been completely opened up, and the defense posture of the entire settlement has undergone tremendous changes."

"However, there are still many forces entrenched in the settlements. These forces are just like the Shu capital area seven years ago in Datong, just like the entrenched forces before Renshou. They use private armed forces to carry out cruel exploitation and oppression, bringing huge damage to society. unfair."

"Any excessive income that does not match the contribution is exploitation. Of course, we must resolutely oppose these forces that exploit for the self-interest of individuals and small groups."

"Now our property is no longer in the east of Qingcheng Mountain and the local area west of Longquan Mountain, but has gradually expanded to the area between the Minjiang River and the Tuojiang River."

"In the next step, we will expand the control area to the Fujiang River Basin to fully occupy the plains and shallow hills of the basin."

"Han'an's development has given us a good start. In just a few months, we have revitalized the big game of vanadium and titanium bases, and realized the inevitable foundation for activating the big circle of Han, Wei, Jing, Ren and Zi. .”

"This circle is not small, it is equivalent to a Shudu-Yankou-Meizhou triangle area, or equivalent to a Shudu-Meizhou-Zizhou triangle area!"

"Moreover, this is also where we live. After breaking through the Longquan Mountains, the construction of the first large area at the eastern foot of Longquan Mountain is an extremely important step, both economically and politically."

"Now that we have received such good news, the vanadium and titanium base in the center of the region is still intact, and production capacity will soon be formed. This is double happiness."

"So regarding the construction of this big circle and the central vanadium-titanium base, I think it must be the focus of our next work. Next, please talk about how to build it."
