The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 112 Rescue Mission
Get out of the car.

Go into the conference room.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and under the dim light, the flickering of cigarette butts was particularly dazzling.

The intercom phone on the desk jingled, and the jingling kept ringing.

Several comrades in fifty-style military uniforms were responsible for answering the phone.

Their voices are so low that they can only faintly hear words like ALS and caves.

"Report to the leader, Comrade Li Aiguo will bring it here!"

Those two [-]-style military uniforms walked up to a middle-aged comrade wearing glasses and saluted him politely.

The man was talking to Duan Chang Xing Liuzhu, looked up at Li Aiguo, motioned him to sit down with his eyes, then lowered his head and muttered softly.

Both of their faces were anxious.

Maybe something really happened!

Li Aiguo took a deep breath and looked around, only to find that Cao Wenzhi, Liu Qingquan and the fireman Old Zheng had all arrived.

Sitting next to Cao Wenzhi, touched him, and asked softly, "Master, what's going on?"

"I don't know, I was also brought from home."

Cao Wen shook his head.

It seemed that Li Aiguo was worried, and he whispered again, "I should let you know later, the leader will let you know, and if you haven't mentioned it, don't ask too much." '

Seeing this situation, Li Aiguo understood a little.

There were few trains in this era, and the number of train drivers was limited.

Train drivers often perform special tasks.

Such as transporting troops, transporting special materials and the like.

Father Li used to disappear mysteriously for a few days before, and when he came back, he kept silent about the itinerary for those days.

An incredible thought flashed in Li Aiguo's mind.

Maybe it really is a special train.

However, the idea was quickly dismissed.

Because Minister Niu of the Armed Forces Department has also arrived.

The one who married a beautiful North Korean woman.

Special trains do not require armed forces to guard the locomotive depot.

When Minister Niu saw that Li Aiguo was about to say hello, Duan Chang Xing Liuzhu saw that everyone was present, so he stood up and knocked on the table.

"Dear comrades, at night, I pulled you out of bed because the superiors entrusted us with a glorious and arduous task."

"As railway people, can you complete the task!"

No matter what the task is, just shout the slogan.

Li Aiguo stood up, followed Cao Wenzhi and the others and shouted a few words.

Xing Liuzhu nodded in satisfaction:
"The matter is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense. Now Zhang Gong, who is in charge of the rescue work from the Exploration Corps of the Frontier Petroleum Company of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, will introduce the specific situation to everyone."

Hearing the name of Frontier Petroleum Company, Li Aiguo knew that the situation was serious.

Frontier Petroleum Company was formerly known as China Mao Petroleum Company.

It was co-founded by the domestic and Lao Maozi for the purpose of exploring oil in the frontier areas. It can be regarded as the first batch of Sino-foreign joint ventures in China.

Lao Maozi provided technical and equipment support, and we contributed to oil exploration in the frontier.

For a long time, the results of exploration have not been satisfactory, and there have also been accidents at Lao Maozi's side.

The China-Mauritius Petroleum Company was declared closed, and Lao Maozi withdrew, leaving only some Lao Maozi's experts.

Coincidentally.

Only two years after the Frontier Petroleum Company replaced the China-Mauritius Petroleum Company, an oil well was discovered in the frontier - the Carat Ant Dushanzi Oil Mine.

It is said that when the old Maozi heard the news, the old Maozi who was in charge of oil mining cried loudly with vodka in his arms.

At that time, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to drill the Zhungeer Basin, but they didn't find even a hair.

Zhang Gong is the head of the rescue team of the Exploration Corps, with a high rank. If he showed up in the locomotive depot late at night, something must have happened to the exploration team.

really.

Zhang Gong hurriedly introduced what happened.

original.

Since the No. 1 well of the Carat Ant Dushanzi Oil Mine produced oil.

In order to find more oil fields, the Ministry of Petroleum Industry adopts the exploration policy of "casting a big net and catching big fish".

In the range of 160 kilometers in length and 30 kilometers in width from Carat Ant to Wuerhe, 10 drilling sections will be deployed.

Cooperate with seismic exploration, dissect the whole body, and expand the exploration area.

All of a sudden, hundreds of geological exploration teams rushed to the frontier and launched a vigorous battle.

This time, it was the rock physical team that had an accident.

It is composed of five geological experts and a dozen exploration team members.

The task of the petrophysical team is to collect Paleozoic and Mesozoic rock samples, analyze their physical properties, and provide basic data for interpretation of various geophysical exploration methods.

simply put.

It is to use geological information to deduce where there may be large oil fields.

Therefore, it is necessary to go deep into the deep mountains for sampling.

The accident happened when the petrophysical team was sampling deep into the Alatau Mountains.

At that time, the petrophysical team entered an ancient cave to carry out rock sampling work, and the cave suddenly collapsed.

Five geological experts and seven exploration team members were buried in a cave with a depth of about [-] meters.

The exploration team guarding the entrance of the cave immediately reported the accident to the exploration team and asked for rescue work.

The lives of more than a dozen comrades were at stake, and the Exploration Corps did not dare to neglect, and immediately mobilized elites to form a rescue team code-named Alatau.

The Alatau rescue team rushed to the scene and found that the entire cave had collapsed and rocks blocked the entrance. To rescue the people inside, they had to dig a tunnel.

The Alatau rescue team mobilized manpower and just started excavation work. The rocks on the top of the cave began to fall off due to lack of support.

It is foreseeable that if the excavation continues, the top structure will inevitably be affected, resulting in a secondary landslide.

The rescue team weighed it over and over again, and chose to ask the capital for help when they were not sure of the success of the rescue.

The Ministry of Petroleum Industry in Beijing once exchanged a set of exploration and rescue excavation equipment from Lao Maozi, which can be used for cave rescue.

It's just that the rescue and excavation equipment is heavy machinery, about the size of a Jiefang truck, and weighs up to ten tons.

It is more than 3000 kilometers from the capital to Alatau.

In this era, Yun-5, the first transport aircraft in China, is under research.

The total load capacity of the An-2 transport aircraft purchased from Lao Maozi is less than two tons.

The ground road environment is complex, and it is too late to rely on Jiefang trucks to send rescue and excavation equipment to the border.

The reason Zhang Gong appeared here was to ask the railway department to transport the rescue and excavation equipment by train.

Due to the exploration operation of the petrophysical team, it has been kept in a state of secrecy.

Even if a rescue operation is to be carried out, it must be carried out in secret, which is why [-]-style military uniforms are sent to take the team members involved in the operation to the maintenance depot in the middle of the night.

After Mr. Zhang introduced the situation, Chief Duan Xing Liuzhu took it over with a solemn expression:
"When the petrophysical team entered the cave, they carried a part of field standard rations with them. There is a water source in the cave, which can last for about ten days.

Two days have passed since the cave collapsed, that is to say, we must transport the rescue excavation equipment to Alatau within two days. "

"This transportation mission is related to whether the rescue can be successful, it can only succeed and not fail!"

He turned around, pointed to the national railway map on the wall, and said loudly:

"Our rescue train departs from the capital, passes through the Beijing-Guangzhou line, transfers to the Longhai line, and finally arrives at Alashankou via the Lanxin line."

Hearing the Lanxin Line, the faces of all the train drivers became serious.

Cao Wenzhi took a deep puff of cigarette, lifted the sole of his shoe to press out the cigarette, stood up and said, "Mr. Duan, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line is currently under construction, and there is still a long section that is not open to traffic. Our trains must not fly over it!"

Li Aiguo raised his eyelids and remembered the information about the Lanxin Line.

The Lanxin Line was built in [-].

After crossing the Yellow River westward from Lanshi, the line crosses Wushao Ridge at an altitude of 3000 meters, enters the Hexi Corridor at the northern foot of Qilian Mountains, passes through Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, exits JYG at the west end of the Great Wall, crosses Yumen and Shule Rivers at the southern foot of Mazong Mountain, and crosses Hongliu River to the frontier in the west.

It can be described as a railway line built on the natural moat.

A while ago, the Railway Workers’ News published good news that after the day and night efforts of the 126th Railway Corps, the TLF section of the Lanxin Line was opened to traffic.

A long section behind is under attack.

Liu Qingquan and the others also nodded, agreeing with Cao Wenzhi's opinion.

No matter how powerful the railway workers are, they cannot run with the train on their shoulders when they encounter a place without railroad tracks.
