Perfect Feast

Chapter 51 The Boulder Falling Off

Liu Yang's busy side is in full swing, and the drainage work on the east side has intensified. When Liu Yang dug the aisle to more than 50 meters, there were two large pumps running there.

The water in the lane was slowly falling, but whether it was 17 people on Lin Xiaobing's side or more than a dozen people on Wang Zengtian's side, they had reached the limit of life.

Five days have passed since the zero on the 23rd.

Without eating or drinking, as long as three days, people are in danger of life. And now, five days have passed, 120 hours. Is anyone still alive?

The savvy guys behind him can now fall asleep almost against the wall. The darkened faces, the sunken eye sockets, are silently telling that they are tired. limit.

Twenty meters away ...

Qiu Huiquan pointed to the drawing and said to Liu Yang, "Through the survey just now, this channel can be opened up to 20 meters at most ..."

This old man has always been treated as a national treasure panda. When Liu Yang was working, he was not allowed to touch him at all. Others worked while he was resting, and only asked him to come forward when he encountered technical problems. It stands to reason that he should be the most spiritual one of the fifty or so commandoes below, but now Liu Yang looked a little slumped. The complaining rushed to my mouth and swallowed back.

Grandma, didn't you say it was only 60 meters when you dragged me on it? Why are you digging more than 50 meters now and 20 meters?

Please the old guy, your increase of ten meters by ten meters will kill people.

If this is on flat ground, let alone the fact that the distance is meters, even if it is a 20-meter steel mountain, you will not put it in your eyes, but it is near 700 meters underground, and every one meter forward The price of blood and sweat is not a joke.

Looking at the drawing in Qiu Huiquan's hand, Liu Yang asked him: "I was wondering if I could drill a small hole in the alley in front of me. Although people ca n’t climb out, it ’s good to get in the air. It's better to feed water and food through pipes, which will earn more time for rescue. "

Qiu Huiquan shook his head and said solemnly, "This idea is good, but it is almost impossible. If you want to drill holes according to your idea, you will need large drilling machines, but you also know ..."

Qiu Huiquan said that he stopped his mouth. Liu Yang looked at the dark cave in front of him and couldn't help showing a wry smile. Because they were tied to open the alleyway, this one they dug has become a horn.

In the beginning, the passageway remained two meters wide and one meter seven or six. But as we walked inside, the width and height became smaller and smaller. Now there is still a little more than one meter in height, and the width is less than half a meter.

In this kind of environment, it is just enough for people to drill horizontally. It is impossible to change a large electric drill.

"I think reducing the amount of medicine and shrinking the hole a little bit will also speed up some progress ... But then, for those who transport cinders out of the country, the intensity will increase. Now the big guys use The back of the bag has worn off the shoulders, but the headquarters said that there were no replacement personnel for us. I'm afraid those guys can't support it ... "Qiu Huiquan glanced behind him, and behind him were those black people. Some of you guys have snored against the wall.

"This is a problem, but since there is a glimmer of hope, we still have to do our best to try it. Those who are blocked inside are all our brothers." Liu Yang glanced at the rescue team behind him. , Said in a low voice.

Qiu Huiquan reached out and patted Liu Yang's shoulder, and said affectionately, "Brother, as the head of a county, you are a doer, not to come down for a show. I will see all of this. If you were not in front We can't dig this lane at all so fast. Now, you still need to stand up and talk. "

"Well, Mr. Qiu, don't brag about me, I just do things with my conscience." Liu Yang said, standing up with strong spirits, rubbing his temples with his hands full of coals in the depths. , Shouted loudly: "Everyone wake up ..."

There was not a crackling sound of "cracking" or "squeaking" in the ears, but there were "嗵 嗵 ...... Dangdang" small coals and crushed stones on the head from time to time. Sound on the ceiling. All the people gathered in front of Liu Yang, and the look on all the rescue team members' faces became very dignified.

This is a test of blood and fire. This is a contest of fear and professional ethics. The power of role models is endless. It is precisely because Liu Yang rushes to the forefront that none of these rescuers are deserters.

However, these people are not like Liu Yang, who can be selected to participate in this rescue activity, and they have already been right. They are all elites in this industry and are backbones of proficient business.

They understand it very well, like this scene of digging a roadway, is the first time since their employment. Each step forward requires the test of blood and fire, and it takes a hundred times the courage.

"Comrades, I don't conceal everyone, just now our Chief Qiu told me that after his detailed calculations, there is still a distance of 20 meters in front of us, we can open this passage of life. Inside, one hundred and thirty More than a dozen lives are waiting for us to rescue. Going forward, there is danger, but there is also hope of saving those workers. Moving back, our people's safety can be guaranteed, but the more than 100 lives will be forever It was accompanied by a deep sleep of more than 700 meters in the dark. Think of the eyes of their wives and children who are worried about despair outside the mine door, comrades, it is heartbreaking, you say, what should we do? "Liu Yang also learned Qiu Huiquan looked like he had mobilized before the war. He knew that if he did not gather enough energy from the rescue team to wipe out the fear in his heart, there would be no way to win this battle.

"Mayor Liu, just give an order, and we must complete the task." Although these voices were low and hoarse, they were extremely firm.

Finally got the response from the team members, Liu Yang felt relieved.

Turning his head, he said to Qiu Huiquan, "Chief General Qiu, we will leave the professional matters to you. We will do whatever you say. I will be with you. As long as there is still one person here, I will not Will leave. Just give orders! "

Qiu Huiquan was also excited and shouted with an old voice: "Major Liu, you can rest assured. If you don't bring out the people inside, I will not be raised by my father and mother. I said, I was trapped here. They are all the same people like us. The county magistrate Liu could have sat in the office and drank tea. What was he doing standing in such a place regardless of the danger? Is n’t it just for us, the hardworking miners? Groups, each group took turns to do it for half an hour, restless electric drills, drills, water pipes, detonators, explosives are ready, and now do it ... "

Speaking of which, Qiu Huiquan started to call the group, and even took the first to pick up the electric drill.

The vibration of the electric drill made the coals on the head fall more densely. Some of them slammed onto the safety helmet worn by Qiu Huiquan. Qiu Huiquan remained motionless and still held the electric drill's handle tightly.

In the beginning, the eye-punching and firing went smoothly, but when more than three meters were dug forward, Liu Yang had new problems on their side. When a young man held an electric drill for five minutes at a point, the drill bit couldn't get in.

Try another place ... this is still the case. Qiu Huiquan fetched a foreign pick and shaved Mars on the dark wall. This phenomenon told everyone that he encountered a hard stone in front.

No wonder that every time the electric drill was turned on, the rescue member holding the electric drill was shaken with numbness in both hands, but the drill rod never moved forward a minute.

How to do? It's really unsettling to just stop there. But everyone understands that drilling a rock can be more than a hundred times more difficult than drilling above a coal seam.

You see me, I see you, no one can speak for a while. Liu Yang, who had just taken a break, came back from the back after getting the news, and said loudly: "Change the drill, I will try ..."

Liu Yang reached out to take over the rig. Both hands held the handles on both sides tightly. After pressing the power switch, a huge rebounding force passed down the drill rod. Liu Yang stepped forward and pushed forward with both hands Electric drill.

One minute ... ten minutes ... The electric drill finally moved forward a little bit. Half an hour ... an hour ... Liu Yang was in this position, except that he took the drill rod out in the middle and changed the drill once, Liu Yang held the drill for an entire hour and a half.

Finally, I felt that the front end was loose, and the electric drill no longer suppressed hissing, as if it was slowing down, and started a cheerful tweet again.

"Mayor Liu, take a break and I'll drill." How hard does it take to drill through such a hard rock?

Qiu Huiquan knew it, and other rescue team members also knew it. At this moment, the eyes of the rescue team members looking at Liu Yang had changed. This person, is it really impossible to fight with steel and cast iron?

Two rescue team members were standing behind Liu Yang, waiting for Liu Yang to give way, and they would be replaced immediately. However, none of them felt that because of Liu Yang's eye-drilling and drilling for a while, just above their heads, a rock that had been loosened finally could not bear the gravity of the earth.

"Go away ..." With Liu Yang yelling, the rock had cracked open with an overwhelming burst. The **** stone smashed at the three people standing below.

When ordinary people are in danger, their first reaction is often cyanosis. It is also because of this instinctive reaction, that is, the sacrifice **** in a few tenths of a second, it will kill people ...
