The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 123
It was an extremely difficult journey.

Because the car follows the direction of the col, and the col follows the mountain range.

The car circled around in the mountains, and Li Aiguo quickly lost his sense of direction, and could only sit wherever he wanted.

After five or six hours, the Jiefang truck finally stopped.

After getting out of the car, Li Aiguo realized that he had not reached his destination.

On the steep and rugged mountain road ahead, there are huge stones on both sides, and the middle passage is narrow.

Not even a track liberated truck could get through.

The rescue team and local comrades seem to have been prepared.

The exploration and rescue tunneling equipment is divided into two parts: the power part and the tunneling part.

Then a steel pipe was found and lifted there by manpower.

Li Aiguo gasped as he watched from the side.

You must know that the exploration and rescue excavation equipment weighs ten tons.

Even if it is divided into two parts, each part weighs four or five tons.

Shared to everyone, the weight is at least three hundred catties.

The rescue team members and local comrades walked on the rugged mountain road with a weight of three hundred catties, and they didn't feel strenuous.

A few of them were still smoking cigarettes and humming a little song leisurely.

Compared with them, those muscular men in the gymnasium of later generations can only be regarded as appearances.

Passing through the rugged mountain road, the front suddenly became clear.

The first thing I saw was the continuous field tents in the col, big and small, like countless yurts, not like a rescue base at all, but like a field army garrison.

The comrades in the camp had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when they saw the rescue team coming back, they immediately rushed to help.

The excavation equipment was transported to the base, and the rescue team took a short rest, ate some dry food, and immediately started the rescue mission.

The cave that collapsed was in a mountain stream two or three kilometers away from the base.

After the old cat returned to the base and assigned tasks to the five-person team, he disappeared without a trace.

As a non-staff member of the investigation team, Li Aiguo, together with Yanzi, is responsible for monitoring the entire rescue process.

Of course, before leaving, he also received a May [-]th pistol.

"Will it work?" Swallow asked curiously.

"crash"

Li Aiguo unloaded the bullet, pulled the slide, reloaded the bullet, loaded it, closed the safety and stuck it in the holster on his waist.

"We are sharpshooters!"

"Bragging, if there is a chance, let's compete."

Swallow put a pistol in his waist, lifted his clothes to cover the pistol, and stepped out of the tent. His twin ponytails were rendered pale gold in the sun, giving him a somewhat heroic appearance.

When he came to the mountain stream, Li Aiguo found that there was a large structural hole in the shape of a crack, 30 meters wide.

A concealed canvas was erected at the entrance of the cave, but at this time the canvas had been torn apart and piled up messily on the ground.

The location of the collapse was more than ten meters away from the entrance of the cave.

The rescue team was busy arranging equipment, and Li Aiguo walked through the chaotic crowd to the collapsed site.

There happened to be a narrow area, like a human throat.

The entire hole has been blocked by large and small stones.

Looking up and down for a moment, he frowned.

It stands to reason that this kind of place rarely collapses because of the relatively small force on the top rock.

No wonder the old cat felt that the collapse accident was tricky.

Li Aiguo frowned, and turned around the rocks. Since his throat was blocked by rocks, he couldn't see anything, so he had to go back outside.

The exploration and rescue excavation equipment has been assembled, and the rescue team is in the final debugging.

Li Aiguo observed for a while, and laughed dumbfounded. In fact, the so-called exploration and rescue excavation equipment is a large drill bit installed horizontally on the power equipment.

There is no way to compare with the shield machines of later generations.

"Report, the test is complete!"

After receiving the report from the rescue team, Commander Zhang gave the order without hesitation.

"Action, rescue our comrades."

"boom boom"

Exploration and rescue excavation equipment roared, and the drill bit rotated rapidly, rushing towards the collapsed rock.

The moment the drill bit touched the rock, there was a piercing sound in the cave, and bursts of smoke and dust rose.

This kind of smoke was called wolf's poison smoke by the railway soldiers who dug the tunnel. The inside was full of poisonous gas, and within half a minute after inhaling it, people would become unconscious.

Rescue team members took out gas masks from their backpacks and put them on their heads.

Li Aiguo didn't even know that they still had this kind of equipment, facing the wolf's poisonous smoke coming from the shop, he was about to retreat.

"then."

Swallow got a gas mask from nowhere and threw it over for him.

At this moment, the air was already a little choking, Li Aiguo took the gas mask and quickly put it on his head, so that he could breathe freely.

Exploration and Rescue Tunneling Equipment has a very fast excavation speed.

It took only half an hour to dig a distance of three or four meters.

Seeing that the collapsed area had not yet been penetrated, Commander Zhang frowned.

Because the exploration and rescue excavation equipment is specially designed to deal with short-distance collapse, once the distance of collapse is too long, it is easy to cause damage during excavation.
"Go back, go back!"

Commander Zhang hadn't lost his mind when he saw Li Aiguo jumping off the rock and rushing towards the tunnel boring machine operator.

The operator was so engrossed in manipulating the boring machine that he didn't notice the surrounding situation at all.

The signalman closest to the operator saw Li Aiguo, and he subconsciously opened his arms, trying to stop Li Aiguo.

Although Commander Zhang didn't know exactly what happened, he also knew that Li Aiguo was in such a hurry that something big must happen.

"Zhang Lanshan, get out of the way!"

He roared at the top of his voice, but unfortunately, his voice was instantly drowned out by the roar of the drill bit cutting rock.

Something is going to happen!Something is going to happen!

Commander Zhang instinctively ran towards the boring machine, and stopped after just two steps.

Because he saw Li Aiguo reach out and pull the signalman's arm away, then rushed to the boring machine and kicked the operator away.

He jumped on the boring machine, pulled the joystick, the drill bit of the boring machine stopped rotating, and the boring machine quickly backed up.

Li Aiguo's movements were done in one go, happening between lightning and flint.

When the surrounding rescue team noticed, the boring machine had retreated to five meters away.

"what are you doing!"

The rescue team members who were working drew out their guns and pointed their black muzzles at Li Aiguo.

What surprised them was that Li Aiguo wasn't afraid, let alone defending himself. He just looked at the cave that had just been dug.

The rescue team followed Li Aiguo's gaze, and the cave was filled with smoke and dust, so they couldn't see clearly at all.

"You'd better give us a clear explanation, or else"

The cold voice did not fall.

A trivial sound came from the cave, it was the sound of fine stones falling.

The rescue team leader closed his mouth, as if thinking of something, his face turned livid.

Now all the rescue team members also sensed that something was wrong, their expressions were ugly, and their eyes were fixed on the cave.

Trivial voices are getting louder.

Finally, with a bang, the top and surrounding rocks collapsed.

The rocks that had just been excavated were buried tightly.

Rocks fell to the ground, and thick smoke and dust rushed out of the cave, but the rescue team did not retreat.

There was silence at the scene, and everyone froze in place.

Commander Zhang was afraid for a while.

If Li Aiguo was a little later, this precious exploration and rescue drilling equipment would have been buried under the rocks.

Then buried, there are more than a dozen lives below.
