Chapter 112 Rescue Mission
Get out of the car.
Enter the conference room.
The conference room was filled with smoke, and under the dim light, the flickering light of cigarette butts was particularly dazzling.
The intercom phone on the table dinged and dinged.
Several comrades wearing 50-style military uniforms are responsible for answering the phone.
Their voices were very low, and only words such as ALS and cave could be vaguely heard.
"Report to the leader, bring Comrade Li Aiguo!"
The two men in 50-style military uniforms walked up to a middle-aged comrade wearing glasses and paid a courtesy.
The man was talking to Duan Chang Xing Liuzhu. He looked up at Li Aiguo, motioned him to sit down with his eyes, then lowered his head and whispered softly.
Both of their faces looked anxious.
Maybe something big happened!
Li Aiguo took a deep breath and looked around, only to realize that Cao Wenzhi, Liu Qingquan and the stoker Lao Zheng had all arrived.
Sit next to Cao Wenzhi, touch him, and ask in a low voice: "Master, what's going on?"
"I don't know, I was brought from home too."
Cao Wenzhi shook his head.
Li Aiguo seemed worried, and whispered, "I will let you know later. The leader will naturally let you know. Don't ask more questions about things that have not been mentioned." ’
Seeing this situation, Li Aiguo came to his senses.
In this era, trains were scarce and the number of train drivers was limited.
Train drivers often perform special tasks.
For example, transporting troops, transporting special supplies, etc.
In the past, Father Li would often disappear mysteriously for a few days, and would never talk about his itinerary during those days when he came back.
An incredible thought flashed through Li Aiguo's mind.
Maybe it really is a special train.
However, the idea was quickly given up.
Because Minister Niu of the Ministry of Armed Forces has also arrived.
The one who married a beautiful Korean woman.
Special trains do not require armed protection from the locomotive depot.
Minister Niu was about to say hello when he saw Li Aiguo. When Duan Chang Xing Liuzhu saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up and knocked on the table.
“Comrades, we pulled you out of bed at night because our superiors have given us a glorious and arduous task.”
"As railway people, can you complete the task?"
It doesn't matter what the task is, just shout the slogan.
Li Aiguo stood up and followed Cao Wenzhi and the others and shouted a few words.
situation."
Hearing the name of Frontier Oil Company, Li Aiguo knew that the situation was serious.
Bianjiang Petroleum Company was formerly known as China-Mao Petroleum Company.
Co-founded by Domestic and Lao Maozi, the purpose is to explore oil in border areas. It can be regarded as one of the first Sino-foreign joint ventures in China.
Lao Maozi provides technical and equipment support, and we contribute people and efforts to explore for oil in the border areas.
For a long time, the results of exploration have not been ideal, and changes have also happened on Lao Maozi's side.
The China-Maurice Oil Company came to an end and Lao Maozi withdrew, leaving only some of Lao Maozi's experts.
What a coincidence.
Only two years after the Frontier Oil Company replaced the China-Mao Oil Company, an oil well was discovered in the Frontier - the Kraant Dushanzi Oil Mine.
It is said that when Lao Maozi heard the news, Lao Maozi, who was in charge of oil exploration, cried and cried while holding vodka.
Back then, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources drilling through the Jungar Basin, but they couldn't find even a single hair.
As the rescue director of the exploration team, Mr. Zhang has a very high level. If he shows up in the maintenance section late at night, something must have happened to the exploration team.
Sure enough.
Zhang Gong introduced what happened in a hurried tone.
Original. Since oil came out of No. 1 Well of Kelantong Dushanzi Oil Mine.
In order to find more oil fields, the Ministry of Petroleum Industry adopts the exploration policy of "casting a wide net and catching big fish".
10 drilling sections will be deployed within a range of 160 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide from Kelantang to Urho.
Cooperate with seismic exploration, conduct overall dissection, and expand the exploration area.
For a time, hundreds of geological exploration teams rushed to the frontier and launched a vigorous battle.
The person involved in the accident this time was the petrophysical team.
It is composed of five geological experts and more than a dozen exploration team members.
The mission of the petrophysical property team is to collect Paleozoic and Mesozoic and Cenozoic rock samples, analyze their physical properties, and provide basic data for interpretation of various geophysical exploration methods.
Simply put.
It is to use geological information to calculate where there may be large oil fields.
So we must go deep into the mountains to sample.
The accident occurred when the petrophysical team was conducting deep sampling in Alatau Mountain.
At that time, the petrophysical team entered an ancient cave to conduct rock sampling work, and the cave suddenly collapsed.
Five geologists and seven exploration team members were buried in a cave with a depth of about 20 meters.
The exploration team members guarding the entrance of the cave immediately reported the accident to the exploration team and requested rescue work.
With the lives of more than a dozen comrades at stake, the exploration team did not dare to neglect and immediately mobilized elites to form a rescue team codenamed Alatau.
The Alatau rescue team rushed to the scene and found that the entire cave had collapsed and rocks blocked the entrance. To rescue the people inside, they could only dig a tunnel.
The Alatau rescue team mobilized manpower and just started excavation work. The rocks on the top of the cave began to fall off due to lack of support.
It is foreseeable that if the excavation continues, the top structure will inevitably be affected, resulting in a secondary collapse.
The rescue team weighed again and again, and chose to seek help from the capital when they were not sure the rescue would be successful.
The Ministry of Petroleum Industry in Beijing once exchanged a set of exploration and rescue excavation equipment from Lao Maozi, which can be used for cave rescue.
It's just that the rescue excavation equipment is heavy machinery, about the same size as a Jiefang truck and weighing up to ten tons.
It is more than three thousand kilometers from the capital to Alatau.
The first transport aircraft in China in this era is under research.
The total load capacity of the An-2 transport plane obtained from Lao Maozi is less than two tons.
The road environment on the ground is complex, and it is too late to rely on Jiefang trucks to deliver rescue and excavation equipment to the border.
The reason why Mr. Zhang appeared here was to ask the railway department to use trains to transport rescue excavation equipment.
Due to the exploration operation of the petrophysical team, it has been kept secret.
Even if the rescue operation is carried out, it must be carried out secretly, so the 50-type military uniforms are sent to pick up the team members participating in the operation to the locomotive depot late at night.
After Zhang Gong introduced the situation, Section Chief Xing Liuzhu took it over with a solemn expression:
"When the rock properties team entered the cave, they carried some of the standard field rations with them. There is a water source in the cave. , can last for about ten days
Two days have passed since the cave collapsed. In other words, we must transport the rescue excavation equipment to Alatau within two days. "
"This transportation mission is related to whether the rescue can be successful. It can only succeed but cannot fail! "
He turned around, pointed to the national railway diagram on the wall, and said loudly:
"Our rescue train starts from the capital, passes through the Beijing-Guangzhou Line, and transfers to the Longhai Line. , and finally arrived at Alashankou via the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line. "
Hearing the Lan-Xin Line, all the train drivers' faces became serious.
Cao Wenzhi took a deep breath of cigarette, raised the sole of his shoe to put out the cigarette, stood up and said: "Captain Duan, The Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line is currently under construction, and there is still a long section that is not open to traffic. Our trains can’t fly there! "
Li Aiguo raised his eyelids and remembered the information about the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line.
The construction of the Lanxin-Xinjiang Line began in 1952.
The line crosses westbound from Lanshi After the Yellow River, cross the Wushaoling Mountains at an altitude of 3,000 meters, enter the Hexi Corridor at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, pass through Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, exit the JYG at the west end of the Great Wall, pass Yumen and the Shule River at the southern foot of Mazong Mountain, and cross the Hong Kong River to the west. Liuhe River enters the border area.
It can be said that it is a railway line built on the natural moat.
Not long ago, the Railway Workers newspaper also published the good news that after the day and night efforts of the 126th Regiment railway soldiers, the TLF section of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line was opened to traffic.
The long section behind is under attack.
Liu Qingquan and the others also nodded and agreed with Cao Wenzhi's opinion.
No matter how powerful the railway workers are, they cannot carry the train when they encounter a place without rails.
