Perfect Feast

Chapter 46: Roof Caving or Permeable

However, it doesn't matter what Liu Yang said now. Even if it has the final say, it is too late to set up such an organization now. After Cai Jincheng turned around and left, he took out his phone and called Huang Decheng. He was already at the mine, why hasn't this guy arrived yet?

After the call was connected, Liu Yang knew that Huang Decheng, Cui Kai and others had also arrived, but they didn't come to the mine, and they were all maintaining order at the gate.

Not long after he hung up the phone, Wang Donglai, Zhang Lei, Huangzhuang town secretary Wang Guangming, mayor Ma Yuwen and others rushed over. Immediately afterwards, Lin Yufen also accompanied Zhang Renliang, director of the Municipal Coal Bureau, and a large group of people.

"County magistrate, this is Director Zhang of the Municipal Coal Bureau. He brought rescue experts..." Before Lin Yufen finished his introduction, Zhang Renliang reached out and shook Liu Yang: "Major Lin, no need to introduce, Liu and I The county magistrate is an old acquaintance. County magistrate Liu, you came early, how is the situation here now?"

"Several injured miners were rescued from below, and I have arranged for them to be sent to the county hospital. Now the deputy mine manager Cai Jincheng is directing the rescue, and the mine manager has not yet rushed from the city. It's great that you can come in person, you are an expert in this field, you see what we should do, we all listen to you." Liu Yang stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Renliang's hand and said.

Zhang Renliang smiled wryly and said, "Major Liu, don't praise me. I really don't dare to call the word expert. However, I brought a real expert..."

While talking, Zhang Renliang turned around and called a short, stout old man standing behind him: "Chief Engineer Qiu and Qiu Huiquan of the Mining Group, he was the one who designed this mine. After Mr. Qiu retired, he and I He lives next door, I called him this time..."

Liu Yang shook hands with him and said hello, but Qiu Huiquan was serious. As a person who has been working in coal mines for a long time, he knows very well what it means to have a roof fall accident underground. Although it is not clear how many people are still in the mine, no matter how many people there are, they are still alive. .

At this moment, these lives are suffering underground, and every second is related to the life and death of the miners, and a delay of one second is enough to be fatal.

Hopefully, they are still alive now.

"I must immediately send someone down to investigate the roof fall and find out the exact location of the accident and the extent of the disaster. I need to know the situation below the mine and the drawings related to all aspects of underground construction, air ducts, and electrical circuits." Qiu Huiquan said unceremoniously Zhang Renliang said.

"Cai Jincheng, bring over what Mr. Qiu wants immediately..." Following Zhang Renliang's orders, the rescue work started quickly.

Half an hour later, Cai Jincheng also came up with the statistics: there are still 105 miners who have left the night shift in the mine and have not come up, 33 workers who have taken over have gone down, and 6 of the 27 miners who went down in the second batch Injured, but rescued by workers. Now there are actually 138 people trapped underground.

One and a half hours after the accident, the Deputy Secretary of Renzhou Municipal Party Committee, Mayor Zhang Jing, Deputy Secretary Sun Zhuoqun, Executive Deputy Mayor Li Yibin, Deputy Mayor Zhong Han, Su Hongtao, Yin Yanyan, Wu Ruifeng, the municipal government Secretary-General Chen Weichang rushed over.

Ma Xihua, chairman and secretary of the party committee of Renzhou Mining (Group) Company, and other leaders also arrived at the same time with the rescue team. The mine disaster, the cry that tears people's hearts, is earth-shattering and painful.

After Zhang Jing listened to the reports of Zhang Renliang, Liu Yang and others, she immediately instructed: "We must do everything possible to search and rescue the trapped miners as soon as possible, and at the same time, we must strictly prevent the occurrence of secondary accidents. We must ensure the safety of search and rescue personnel; Under the premise of rescue, maintain the ground order of the coal mine and organize various rescue work; we must learn the lessons of this accident, carry out safety production hidden danger investigation in the whole city, and strengthen safety production supervision.”

At 10:17 a.m. that day, Zhong Daxiang, the deputy production manager of Linzhuang Mine, who was the first to go down to search and rescue and survey the situation, went up the well. People flocked up and asked in unison, "How is the situation underground?"

Zhong Daxiang reported: "The underground mine is as cold as an ice cellar, and the roof of the main roadway is making constant noises. We have measured the composition of the underground air..."

Time, pull back to 5 o'clock this morning.

Since taking over at zero o'clock last night, Lin Libing, who has been erecting bolts in the No. 3 main roadway, laid down the 66th bolt erected by his shift.

At this time, he looked at his watch subconsciously. It was 5 o'clock. It should be dawn at this time, right? There are three more hours to get off work.

When I came to work last night, my wife, who has been pregnant for more than eight months, had a stomachache. I must take her to the hospital for a checkup after get off work.

While thinking, he started to move the machine again and walked forward.

This is a four-meter-wide and five-meter-high roadway. Lin Libing can touch every screw and every bolt here with his eyes closed. In the depths of the roadway ahead, the sound of rumbling machines was still ringing, and the noise and coal dust filled the whole roadway, making it impossible for him to see the workers who were digging ahead.

However, even if he couldn't see it, he knew that at the end of the smoky alleyway, his co-workers were busy. The sound of the coal cutter was so familiar. Pieces of coal "flowed" along the belt conveyor and were finally transported to ground……

Perhaps, in Lin Libing's heart at that time, the word "flowing" should not be used to describe it. As a result, at 5:30, when he found a small amount of water on the right side of the roadway, the word was still echoing in his mind.

The water is very clean, and there is no unusual smell when you dip your hands in it and sniff it.

What kind of water is this? Is it normal water seepage, or a precursor to underground water seepage? With doubts in his heart, Lin Libing ran to the No. 2 ventilation lane and called Han Daxing, the section chief on duty.

After careful inspection by Han Daxing, Lin Libing and others, they found 5 such outlets in the surrounding area. But because the water output is very small, there is no pressure, and the water quality is clear, Han Daxing is not sure whether it is permeable or not.

At 6:50, the news was reported to the well. Kong Xiangsheng, the deputy mine manager on duty, checked the situation on the phone, and then reported to Zhang Enping, the mine manager. Mine manager Zhang, who was sleepy at home in Renzhou City, a hundred miles away, concluded that this was just water from a small structure and would not pose a threat to construction and production.

An important detail that should have been paid attention to was ignored, and Kong Xiangsheng, the deputy mine manager on duty, failed to evacuate people in time and take effective countermeasures in accordance with the regulations.

Just when people thought everything was safe and sound, a catastrophe suddenly struck.

At 7:50, Kong Xiangsheng and Cai Jincheng, who came to take over the shift, handed over the shift normally, and went home to rest without mentioning the discovery of the leak. Naturally, Cai Jincheng followed the normal work procedure, allowing the district chief and section chief below to organize the miners to go down the mine, while he sat in the office and made a cup of tea, preparing to go down the mine after taking antihypertensive medicine.

However, at this moment, the water volume at the outlet points in the well suddenly increased. The water quickly spread from the feet of the workers who were working nearby to their waists.

"No, it's flooded, run!" The experienced worker immediately realized that the disaster was coming. In the alley, someone started shouting and running.

Lin Libing didn't move - he was frightened and stupid, and at the same time, his heart was full of self-blame. I was the first to discover the water leak. If I had known it was like this, I should have called out all the workers who were working on the front excavation.

The miners who are ready to get off work are basically all concentrated at the wind outlet of this section of the return airway, and everyone is running towards the mouth of the well at this moment. Someone pushed him: "If you don't run fast, you will die if you are too late."

Only then did he realize that the water under his feet had swelled, and not far away, more rapid currents rushed over the waves. Lin Libing was reminded and ran away...

Starting from the return air alley, the water quickly spread to the adjacent belt alley, the alleys and alleys of the auxiliary transportation alley. The dark alleyway was full of panic. Shouts, the sound of treading water, and the sound of whirring water were mixed in the narrow and long space.

Seeing that the water was about to catch up with the crowd, Lin Libing and more than a dozen miners ran desperately to the higher part of the tunnel.

"Brothers, get on the anchor! Quickly get on the anchor!" Someone shouted, and Lin Libing quickly grabbed the steel anchor on the roadway wall with his hands and feet and climbed up. In an instant, the return airway behind him was submerged.

Lin Libing and a dozen other workers climbed to the top of the roadway wall by climbing the anchor poles. After a while, the water still covered their feet and knees, and stopped at their waists. More than a dozen pairs of terrified eyes stared straight at the sudden waist-deep water, and their brains went blank...

At 8:20, the second batch of miners who went down to take over from Inoue sat in the elevator cabin. Among the 27 people in this group, there are technicians, safety officers, and the head of the 2nd work zone who went down to the mine with their attendants and other management cadres.

After the elevator cabin went down to the bottom of the well at a depth of 670 meters, district chief Wang Yangqing walked out of the cabin at the front, and safety officer Dai Houling followed closely behind him.

The group of people walked forward for about 300 meters, when the ground suddenly trembled, there was a loud bang, and a burst of smoke filled the air. The six people walking in front, including Wang Yangqing and Dai Houling, were knocked off their heads. The lump of coal hit the ground.

When they woke up, Wang Yangqing found that he was on the well again. However, his head was dizzy for a while, and he couldn't tell where the pain was terribly.

"It's broken, there is an accident in the mine, please report it to the leader of the mine immediately..." After saying this, he passed out again.

After Cai Jincheng received the news of the accident in the mine, he grabbed the phone and made a call to the mine himself: "Hey, hello, the operators of each team will go up the well immediately!"

However, it is too late at this time! The work phone in the well is no longer available!

Because Cai Jincheng received a report that a roof fall accident occurred below. Therefore, in his reports to the company, the city, and Huling County, he also reported that a roof fall accident occurred underground.

However, Zhong Daxiang's report said that there was water accumulation at the bottom, which means that in addition to the roof caving, there may be water seepage incidents underground.
