They were all reborn and became firefighters again?

Chapter 509: Captain, why are you crying?

Fang Huai unfolded the drawings and felt a little proud when he found that all the leaders were staring at them intently.

It has to be firefighting.

If it were any other army, unless he had mastered the ability to rub nuclear bombs with his hands, he would not be able to get the leaders to gather in a circle and listen to him attentively.

"Leader, I just asked someone to find a worker who worked in this mine last year. After checking it against the mountain, I found that this old drawing is still useful."

Fang Huai took the lead, and the leaders got closer.

"The main mine mouth and the auxiliary mine mouth in the picture have indeed changed their positions, but the worker said that there is a water outlet inside, which is used to discharge the underground water from the mine. It is still in use today, and it is here!"

Fang Huai said, clicking twice on the drawing.

In the iron ore production process, groundwater is inevitable. If the groundwater cannot be discharged in time, it will cause water accumulation in the mine, thus posing a serious threat to the life safety of miners.

The mine drainage system drains groundwater out of the mine in a timely manner through water outlets and other facilities to ensure safety during the production process. It is also to ensure the dryness of the underground working surface and prevent groundwater pollution.

Without this, the mine would not be able to pass the environmental protection test.

In fact, the workers are not sure whether this port is still there, but I heard that the boss is very picky. The purpose of changing the main and auxiliary mine ports is to facilitate mining, but if the drainage system can use the original one, the boss will definitely not spend money to change it. Make a new one.

Now, an expert next to him spoke.

"The water outlet? The location is usually relatively low, right? It is buried deeper! We have also thought about the water outlet, but it may be more difficult to enter from this position!"

"Yes! Lower!" Fang Huai said immediately:

“But look at this mouth, it’s on the side of the mountain!
I just asked the workers to point it out to me and observed the location. It was the valley between the two mountains. Due to the landslide, the valley was filled in, but because of the filling, the elevation has almost disappeared. It is smaller than There is a big crack next to it, and the mountain that was blown hollow inside is safer and less affected by the secondary collapse. We can immediately start to find weak points that are close to each other on the top for construction!
Moreover, the excavation depth in that place seems to be larger, but the soil volume is large and the terrain is relatively flat, so we can get on the drilling rig!
The excavator cannot come in now, but the main body of the drilling rig can be transported separately from the power machine! For small crawler drilling rigs, the main engine and power machine do not exceed two tons, and our aircraft can transport it!
Moreover, there are several kilometers of winding tunnels underground. Even if you go in, it will be very difficult for people to find them without drawings, and it will be difficult to call them during the excavation process!
But if the trapped miners inside have no water source, if they can move, they will probably go to the water outlet to get water! We drill from here, and it should be easier for them to learn about the movements during the excavation process, and it should also give them more hope of survival! "

After returning from Sichuan, he knew deeply how much people in the long darkness needed hope.

Those who were buried in the earthquake and had a strong will to survive survived better than those who were passive.

Fang Huai also started from "how to give people in the mine more hope of life" and found this plan step by step.

The leader sitting in the middle immediately looked at the mayor next to him.

The mayor understood and looked at the experts beside him.

"What do you think?"

A middle-aged man wearing glasses held up his hands, touched his chin, and said:

"I think it's feasible. We might as well organize people to go up and see how thin the weak points are, the soil-rock ratio, the solid-rock ratio, and how it compares with the surroundings. We'll know after taking a look. But I came in just now When I took a look, he said that there was at least one thing right about that location, the construction risk was much lower. "

These words undoubtedly boosted everyone's confidence.

The big leader slapped the table and made the final decision.

"Don't waste time, organize people now and see!"

The expert's argumentation process was much simpler than Fang Huai imagined.

Everyone determined the purpose based on the location of the water outlet on the drawing and the roughly calculated main and auxiliary mine entrances. Fang Huai, several experts, and two armed police soldiers went up with a GPS and a level to locate the original valley section and the landslide. We walked around the mountain to determine the altitude and altitude.

By calculation, the excavation depths on both sides are about the same, about 200 meters.

There is nothing more to say.

One side is relatively gentle, the other side is steep; one side is relatively stable, and the other side is easy to collapse and dry out.

Once the Jiwei Mountain side collapses for a second time and the mountain mass at the front elevation collapses, it will be very dangerous to retreat and work again, and the thickness of the covering layer may increase again.

Of course, you can blow up the mountain and completely eliminate the risk.

The key point is that blowing up a mountain means giving up search and rescue on the outside. If such a big mountain is to collapse, the covering layer will have to be pushed out for hundreds of meters, and the outside of the covering layer will become the inner perimeter.

The big leader was very decisive and waved his hand:
"Just do it! Do it right now!"

The entire city's resources have been fully mobilized.

Another Z-8 helicopter has arrived.

Large and small drilling rigs that can meet the lifting conditions, geological radar, and physical remote sensing detectors were towed to the entrance intersection.

The number of excavators outside the site has increased to fifteen, all with the prefix "3" or above. The senior county official is personally in charge of the excavator team. Who dares to slow down work?

The driver worked in two shifts, and the sound of the rocks colliding with the excavator and the sound of the drill hitting the rocks could be heard clearly from a kilometer away, as if they were trying to push the rocky beach flat.

In addition, the Mi-26 rented by Feilong Airlines departed from the Daxinganling Mountains in Northeast China at noon, returned to Harbin for a short rest, and flew to Chongqing.

Reporters also kept arriving.

In fact, Fang Huai does not hate reporters.

Although sometimes I am too busy and don’t want to talk to him, I won’t reject him and I will cooperate with him in interviews when I have time.

Because there are many reporters at the disaster site, it represents greater attention and greater support. The victims and their families will also receive more hope and care.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there was a bang next to Jiwei Mountain, and huge yellow smoke rose from the rock piles.

After a tentative blast, the mountain remains stable.

Fang Huai observed for a while and found a walkie-talkie labeled "Monitoring Team" from a bag on the ground.

"Each monitoring point will report its observation status."

"Point 1 is normal."

"Point 2 is normal."

"At point 16, sporadic gravel fell from Jiwei Mountain, and the transverse crack surface is normal."

Fang Huai then changed the intercom and said: "Cleaning team, dealing with the drilling rig working surface."

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, a crawler drilling rig that had just landed and been assembled slowly advanced past him and headed towards the blasting point.

"Peripheral search and rescue teams, please stay away from the 150-meter range of Jiwei Mountain for the time being. A second blast may be carried out in an hour."

"receive."

The rumbling sound of Zhi-8's propellers approached. Fang Huai looked up and switched to another walkie-talkie.

"The equipment response team should have arrived. The air compressor is currently not in use. They are looking for a suitable place to stack it on the platform."

"Roger that!"

Fang Huai is like a general and a precise instrument. Jiwei Mountain is like a big chessboard. The progress of any position is clear in his mind. There are thousands and hundreds of people and a bunch of walkie-talkies in Fang Huai's bag. Under the mobilization, the horse will advance from three to two, and the cart will advance from four to five.

In addition to on-site arrangements, there are also surrounding hidden dangers to be investigated and people to be evacuated. The tens of thousands of square meters of water in the barrier lake at the foot of the mountain have also been almost drained by the fire pipes that were installed last night.

The leaders on the platform at the foot of the mountain heard the intercoms ringing around them all coming from the same person, and they all praised his ability to control.

When a senior leader praises others, he will not laugh like Li Yunlong and say, "I think you can be the leader." Instead, he will nod slightly and say:

"Fang Huai...a good name."

The next day.

Peripheral search and rescue operations found three more bodies.

Light rain was falling, and it started raining non-stop last night. From 8 a.m. to the afternoon, the sky over Wulong Iron Mining Township was basically the same half-gray sky with no sunlight, except for a small burst of light at noon.

The plane has been grounded for half a day.

However, all the equipment that needs to be pulled has arrived at the scene, and even the oil paper and cloth have been considered. When it rains, the equipment on the left and right are covered and placed on the platform.

However, after a night of erosion, the crack on the mountain seemed to have become larger and longer. In the afternoon, the sky was cloudy for a while and it didn't rain. But at 3 o'clock, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded from a distance.

Fang Huai stood on the excavated peak and observed the dark clouds in the distance for a while, sighed, and reluctantly glanced at the col below that was about to be blasted for the fourth time, picked up the intercom and said:

"Everyone, retreat to the tent area 300 meters back. Ask the leaders of the headquarters to come out first, and then retreat 100 meters back. A strong wind is coming and the house is not safe."

The intercom was full of "received".

But the person at the foot of the col was a little unwilling: "Commander Fang, the fourth blasting can start soon, can't it wait a little longer?"

But Fang Huai's words were very firm.

"Execute the order! In ten minutes at most, heavy rain is coming! With strong winds from the southwest, cover the machine, gather the villagers at the scene, and retreat quickly!"

Ten minutes later, everyone quickly descended along several construction roads and gathered at the tent area. The leaders were invited to stay three to four hundred meters away from Jiwei Mountain.

Everyone was talking about it.

It looked like it was going to rain heavily that day, and the comrades from the Meteorological Bureau also informed us in advance.

The construction was supposed to stop at noon today, but Fang Huai said that it would not be possible for a while, so everyone was stunned and worked for another two or three hours.

But when it comes to the southwesterly wind, no one feels it at all.

It's been ten minutes, and I haven't felt any wind, nor has it rained.

Fang Huai, however, just shouted at some people who had not withdrawn yet: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

After a few minutes, all the troops were assembled, and the common people were placed behind the troops. The scene was very quiet, and the leaders behind did not speak, and stared quietly at the mountain.

But still no wind or rain.

The whole place was filled with a kind of quiet doubt.

Fang Huai felt a little cursed in his heart. Just now he was looking at the clouds and sky, and he clearly saw the dark clouds coming quickly with the southwest wind, but when they got closer, they suddenly slowed down again.

The meteorological bureau expert behind him finally spoke and explained to Fang Huai:
"Severe convective weather usually breaks out in summer afternoons, but it is extremely accidental, and the power comes from the ground constantly absorbing the shortwave radiation emitted by the sun. This morning's prediction is not accurate. The sky is cloudy and the ground does not absorb enough heat. Radiation energy, so our previous predictions may not be accurate. Comrade Xiao Fang may have been misled by our predictions.”

Everyone was stunned.

After working for a long time, Commander Fang also looked at the weather forecast!

Hey, I trust the weather forecast, so how can it be accurate? The Meteorological Bureau said it themselves, it’s not allowed!
Some soldiers and common people started talking again.

Only the Second Squadron was so convinced that they even took out their raincoats and put them on.

Damn, this is Fang Geliang! Those who have the ability to accurately predict the squadron's weather more than 40 times, with an error rate of less than one tenth! Just wait!
Fang Huai also looked at the sky for a while, then turned back and said firmly: "This is not strong convection, it may be a thunderstorm and strong wind caused by the terrain. It is not far away. Everyone rest where you are, don't sit on the ground, and be ready to retreat!"

After that, he turned back to look at the mountain and waited quietly for a while.

Mr. Chang, who was in the back, saw that the leaders had been standing there for almost 20 minutes. He walked over and asked, "Xiao Fang, this day is indeed dangerous and not suitable for construction. But it has been so long, why don't we let everyone go back to the tents first?" rest?"

After saying that, he winked and looked behind him.

The main thing is to let the leaders take a rest. They are all very old, and many of them have not had a good rest in the past two days. They cannot bear it anymore!
But as soon as he said these words, a raindrop as big as a bean hit Mr. Chang's face.

"Xixixi."

"crack, clap"

From rain to heavy rain, in just ten seconds, the rain stopped the voices and slapped everyone hard on the face.

The secretaries and staff at the back also provided umbrellas to the leaders.

Strong winds suddenly started blowing up at the same time, and the wind direction was so random that one had to hold the top of the umbrella with his hands.

Fang Huai then turned to look at Mr. Chang, who had a dull expression with raindrops on his face, and laughed.

"Captain, why are you crying?"

Mr. Chang couldn't help but raise his hand to feel the direction of the wind, and then he felt dumbfounded:

"You boy, you are really a little Zhuge!"

Fang Huai smiled slightly, looked at the mountains ahead, and waited quietly.

The wind and rain were strong, but the whole place was silent. Only some soldiers walked out of the queue, took out their oil paper cloths, and covered the heads of the people who came to dig and wait for their loved ones.

But it couldn't be completely blocked.

The wind made the sound of running water.

Everyone has been hit by heavy rain, but it only lasted for a while. However, this heavy rain had no intention of stopping. Ten minutes passed, and it became heavier and heavier, and even thunder sounded.

The flag at the distant detection point was blown high into the sky.

The people in the wind and rain, even though there are a thousand soldiers standing there standing upright and silently resisting, still look insignificant. Every time they raise their heads, their hats are not safe.

Finally, a dangerous rock more than two meters in the distance fell, making a crisp sound on the ground.

It’s coming, it’s coming.

"Keep the formation! Retreat a hundred meters in an orderly manner!" Fang Huai raised his hand and shouted.

The team slowly retreated, everyone's eyes still staring at the mountain.

Soon, a series of rockfalls fell, and a large mountain mass at the front elevation finally failed to hold up, and poured like mud onto the tidal flat two hundred meters ahead.

"boom"

The ground shook violently, and a strong storm came towards us. The house in the headquarters was shaking. Everyone immediately grabbed each other's hands and buried their heads slightly to resist the shock wave.

The wind stirs up the dust and the sand rises, and the clouds and flowers rain fall to the ground.

Everyone witnessed the power of nature with their own eyes, and witnessed that the outer covering layer of the deep holes they dug for two days and two nights were submerged, and the flag was once again covered with a layer of stone and soil of seven to eight meters.

How spectacular.

What a loss.

Everyone knows that external rescue is more difficult.

Fortunately, the platform is still there and the equipment is still there, but it looks shorter.

After a shock wave passed, everyone was speechless for a long time. Fang Huai looked at the excavation platform next to Jiwei Mountain and it seemed that the excavation platform had not been greatly affected. He felt relieved, turned his head, and shouted, breaking the silence.

"Rest where you are! Wait until the rain stops, and the surveyors will go up and take a look. If there is no problem, continue the construction!"

Fang Huai suggested: The general headquarters should retreat one kilometer, and the farmhouse should serve as the frontline headquarters and report to the general headquarters in real time.

The houses were shaken several times and were no longer safe. More importantly, the leaders, who were generally over 55 years old, could not hold on even after two days.

There was too much noise at the scene, and there could be landslides at any time, making it impossible to rest. Now that the material support is in place, there is no need for the leaders to hold on here.

The leaders also accepted Xiaofang's kindness naturally.

This commander who handled everything in an orderly manner left a deep impression on them. Even before the leader left, he called Fang Huai to him, showed a rare smile and praised him.

"Comrade Fang Huai, as a squadron leader, you came from thousands of miles away for reinforcements to undertake such an arduous task. You are an outstanding fire officer and excellent on-site arrangement. You must work hard. There will be more important tasks assigned to you in the future. you!"

At this moment, there is only one answer.

"Please rest assured, chief, if the motherland is in need, we will come forward!"
