Chapter 87 Drilling through rock formations

Jimingshan Coal Mine.

A total of three large crawler-type drilling rigs have been drilling down since the morning of the day before yesterday, and it has been two full days. At the beginning, everything went smoothly. Although they also encountered rocks, there were hard rock formations.

Since this morning, the three drilling rigs have all drilled into the hard rock layer. Hearing the news, Zheng Yan could not sit still and immediately arrived at the Jimingshan Coal Mine.

Wang Xudong drove his off-road vehicle and brought Liu Yu, Zheng Xiaotong, and a total of three people to the coal mine. After Wang Xudong got off the car, he saw that compared with two days ago, there were many more people here.

In the periphery, many family members gathered. These family members, no doubt, were full of grief. In the midst of grief, they were full of anticipation and hope, hoping that their relatives would return safely.

In addition to a large number of family members, there are also many reporters. Many news media reporters have set up cameras here, and some TV stations have reported on the spot, and reported and released the situation here in the form of news. .

Wang Xudong and the other three walked inside. When they got inside, Wang Xudong saw that there were a lot more people here. Apart from some commanders, there were more rescue team members wearing professional clothes.

When Wang Xudong arrived, Zheng Yan was asking about the situation, and Mayor Zhao replied, Secretary Zheng, all three drilling rigs have replaced the drill bits, and used the drill door to deal with the alloy drill bit in the hard rock layer, hoping to drill through the rock layer.

When drilling vertically like this, if you encounter a hard rock formation in the middle, there is no way to do it. You can only spend some time drilling through the rock formation. What everyone hopes is that the rock formation is not too thick and does not take too much time. At this time, time is life.

Time passed little by little.

The entire Jimingshan Coal Mine seems to be gradually quieting down, except for the roar of three drilling rigs. After the alloy drill bits were replaced, the three drilling rigs continued to drill down.

Because they are three different drilling points, the three drilling rigs are still far apart. One of the drilling rigs is still on the hillside and drills vertically from the position of the hillside, because that position is a large roadway more than 200 meters down vertically. The purpose is to drill all the way to the top of the large roadway, until it is drilled through.

There are many people next to each drilling rig, not only the staff, but also the rescue personnel wearing orange-red professional clothes. Everyone basically did not speak, watching the drilling rig drill down bit by bit.

Three or four hours passed. Finally, the hard rock formations were drilled one after another. After passing through the hard rock formations, the speed was significantly faster. Obviously, the hardness under the rock formations was much smaller, and the drilling speed of the drilling rig was much faster.

noon.

One of the fastest drilling rigs has already drilled through, and will soon reach a predetermined roadway.

There were a lot of people around the drilling rig. All of them were nervous and full of hope. In the distance and on the periphery, there were also some reporters and a large number of family members.

As the top leader of Wujiang City, Zheng Yan has always been here and served as the on-site commander. As for Secretary Sun, as the main leader of Jiangnan Province, he is busy with official business and cannot stay here forever. After the top leader of Wujiang City, Secretary Sun returned to the provincial capital the day before yesterday.

A reporter, holding a microphone, gave a live report to the camera, Everyone, the exciting time is coming soon, the No. 3 drilling rig is about to be drilled, and the life channel is about to be opened...

The family members in the periphery also had a heart hanging up. Everyone was full of hope and prayed in their hearts to bless their relatives who were buried below.

Zheng Yan came over, and soon after, finally drilled through, and drilled through a roadway with a depth of nearly 200 meters below. Suddenly, many people cheered, and the drill pipe began to slowly withdraw. The big hole that came out appeared in front of everyone.

This big hole, bigger than a washbasin, is dark and nearly 100 meters deep. It leads to a horizontal roadway below, which is also one of the main roadways deep in the Jimingshan Coal Mine.

Everyone cheered, and many of the family members who were waiting outside burst into tears of joy, and the tone of the reporter who reported the news was also obviously excited.

Finally successfully drilled through!

Soon, the special camera equipment was slowly put down, and through the camera equipment that was put down, the image below was transmitted back through the data line.

The hole is very deep, reaching a depth of nearly 200 meters. It can be seen from the images sent back by the camera equipment. Going down from this position to the horizontal roadway that is nearly 200 meters deep, except for a relatively thick rock layer, the rest There is basically no very thick rock formation, which is the main reason why it can be drilled so quickly.

The situation in the horizontal alley was passed back, and everyone saw the situation below, and their faces gradually became serious, because it can be seen from the image that this horizontal alley was also severely collapsed, and many places were blocked.

Everyone was silent for a while, and they were full of hope, but now that hope has been shattered, everyone's heart suddenly became heavy.

Secretary Zheng, do you want to send someone down to take a look.

Zheng Yan shook her head slowly, The following situation is very clear, and it is useless to send people down. We can only hope for the other two drilling rigs.

The family members who were waiting for news on the outside probably heard the situation.

Although the drilling rig drilled through the main roadway, it was basically useless and ended in failure because the main roadway collapsed badly and no signs of life were found.

There are still two drilling rigs, and everyone pinned their hopes on these two drilling rigs.

 …

More than 200 meters deep underground.

This is a large shelter, because it is not far from the excavation surface. When the disaster happened, the miners ran desperately here. Miraculously, all 43 miners arrived here, and everyone has been waiting for rescue.

Two days and two nights passed.

The leading miner was a middle-aged man named Tan Xiaohai, a squad leader of the excavation class. Tan Xiaohai looked at his watch and thought to himself, at this time, it should be in the afternoon. I wonder if people outside can come and save him. .

Although this is the biggest refuge, the situation is not optimistic. There is very little food, all of which are expired biscuits or instant noodles. Everyone ate some separately. Now everyone is very hungry.

Water is often more important than food. If there is water, a normal person can last for at least ten days, but without water, even if there is food, it can only last for three or five days.

There is not much water in this refuge, only two or three boxes of mineral water, which are distributed to each person, but not enough for each person.

Tan Xiaohai looked at his watch, then licked his chapped lips. For two days and nights, he only drank a few mouthfuls of water. Tan Xiaohai was very thirsty, but there was nothing he could do. The mineral water was limited. I only drank a few sips, but I have already drank more than a dozen bottles, almost half of the mineral water.

Precious water was limited, and to make matters worse, several miners were injured, one of whom was seriously injured, with an inflamed wound and a high fever.

Tan Xiaohai looked at everyone and knew that when it was time to divide the food and mineral water, Tan Xiaohai opened the cabinet for the food and mineral water. Without Tan Xiaohai shouting, everyone spontaneously gathered around and looked at Tan Xiaohai eagerly.

One of them said: Old Tang, everyone is too thirsty. Can everyone drink a little more water this time? If we go on like this, we haven't waited for the people above to rescue us. We are all thirsty.

Tan Xiaohai sighed softly, nodded, took out the disposable cup, everyone lined up spontaneously, Tan Xiaohai began to pour water, after half a cup of water, he thought about it, poured a little more in, and poured most of it. Cup look.

Obviously, the half glass of water was a little more than the last time. Everyone lined up to drink water one by one. Each person had half a glass of water. Take special care of these injured people.

Tan Xiaohai was the last one to drink water. After everyone finished drinking and distributed everyone's food, Tan Xiaohai poured water for himself. After pouring half a glass, he hesitated for a while and did not pour it down again. Compared to everyone's half glass , Tan Xiaohai is obviously a little less.

A biscuit and half a glass of water. This is Tan Xiaohai's lunch. In the morning, he didn't eat anything, and everyone only drank half a glass of water.

Even with this saving, there are very few mineral water left, only a few bottles. It is estimated that it will be divided once again at night, and there will be no more water and less food. It is estimated that it can be divided twice at most.

In order to save energy, after drinking water and eating a little something, everyone was either lying down or sitting, rarely walking around, and not many people even talking.

Minutes passed by, and hours passed.

Tan Xiaohai looked at the time, it was already evening, and he thought to himself, at this time, the sun is about to go down, and the sky is about to get dark.

At this time, Tan Xiaohai had a strong desire to see the sun, even for a minute. However, this was just an extravagant hope, and it was completely impossible.
