It is good luck that no one died in the blasting accident, but luck does not happen every day. [Read full text] In the fanatical atmosphere of the elders mining iron ore at all costs and rushing to meet the progress, safety accidents occur from time to time. Work injuries and accidents occur almost every day.
As a result of the sudden production in the machinery factory, many products manufactured by indigenous workers were shipped directly to Sanya. In addition, the indigenous operators who were trained in the sudden attack were unskilled and indifferent to safety awareness. It is not surprising that the accident rate remains high. . Less than a week after landing, two boilers exploded, killing eleven people. Then parts of the automatic brick-making machine suddenly flew out while it was running, killing one person and injuring several others.
As for casualties caused by careless operation of machinery, there would be one or two every three to five. Zhuo Tianmin was shocked by how bad the safety production situation was. On average, almost 778 people die here every day. This is still near the beach. Wouldn't the number of deaths increase even further in the Inner 6 areas where conditions are more difficult?
Wang Luobin was not interested in his proposal to "reduce workload and strengthen safety education."
"What we want now is iron ore, more iron ore." Wang Luobin said, "There are a lot of dead people, but if you educate them, will it be useful?"
"It's better than doing nothing--"
"Our mission is to mine iron ore as quickly as possible," Wang Luobin said. "Everything must revolve around this theme."
"But there are too many casualties." Zhuo Tianmin continued to argue.
"New people will be brought in, and these comrades who are facing losses will supplement us."
Zhuo Tianmin was still hesitant. Wang Luobin knew that this person was probably soft-hearted. In order to avoid the psychological burden on him, he had to add a few more words: "We should strengthen education every day before eating and going to bed. Let's recruit more people to be construction safety officers." .”
"There is also the quality of the machine. Isn't this a waste of human life?" Zhuo Tianmin was indignant. The quality of locally mass-produced steel in Lingao varies, and the sudden expansion of production has left many hidden dangers. In particular, the riveting of the boiler was all made by Zhou Billy's disciples. The roughness of the work makes people afraid to come close to it.
"We can submit a report to the manufacturing director on this issue." Wang Luobin was noncommittal. In another time and space, such a major safety incident would naturally be investigated, and the problematic machine would have to be temporarily deactivated. But here, once the machine is out of service, it means a delay in the progress.
Zhuo Tianmin also wanted to ask what methods were used to ensure production safety as much as possible, but it was difficult for him to accept such an answer that was just a false story. But after thinking about it, even if he inquired, there would be no results. Wang Luobin would never agree to use any method to slow down the construction speed-even if he himself was in power, he might not have the courage. You must know that Operation Giant in Sanya was called the No. 1 operation "related to the fate of the country" in newspapers. The concept of "coal-iron complex" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every time traveler. If he goes against the current trend, he will only get a lot of blood. Not to mention that the people in power don't like him, even the ordinary elders below may not like him. If you don’t talk about it yourself, what should you do with your son? After going through so much trouble to bring your son to this different time and space, isn't it to strive for an unprecedented glorious future for him?
Thinking of this, his blood cooled down.
"Then write a report - the quality of the equipment is related to everyone's safety, so we should mention it to the superiors." Zhuo Tianmin said, "I will write it."
"We can co-sign this report," Wang Luobin said. "As for morale issues, we can also take some other measures to appease everyone."
So He Fanghui accepted the mission the next day: to find a cemetery.
"The terrain should be high and the surrounding scenery should be good." Wang Luobin instructed him, "See if any of the indigenous people have been Feng Shui masters, let's go and have a look."
"Is it used to bury workers?"
"Of course, it would hurt morale to bury them now." Wang Luobin said, "The dead people actually don't matter. The key is that the living people can't bear it."
"I understand." He Fanhui nodded, "Build a place similar to Cuigang Cemetery."
"Yes, and the area needs to be larger. We need to consider the future."
It happened that Hu Xun's master knew something about this, so he was asked to assist He Fanghui in his work.
He Fanghui originally grew up in Lingshui, near Sanya. He has been to Sanya at least dozens of times in old times. He soon found a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, which he found with great pains. Firstly, it cannot be too far away from the coast of Dadonghai, otherwise it will be difficult to use. Secondly, it cannot hinder future real estate development - the coast of Dadonghai will be an important vacation spot for the Crossing Group in the future, so the location must be hidden and protected from typhoons.
The cemetery adopts the same model as Cuigang. It is not sealed or mounded, but only covered with stone tablets on the ground. The ground is paved with lawn and trees and flowers are planted on all sides, making it look like a park. Combined with the blue sky, white clouds and sea in the distance, it is enough to satisfy a living person.
Of course, this is just a future plan, and there is nothing at this stage, but the surrounding environment is quite satisfactory. The master said that although this piece of land may not necessarily make the descendants rich and prosperous, the children and grandchildren will be safe, and the family will be prosperous, there is no problem. He probably thought that this was a lucky place prepared by the Australian pirates for their own use, so he made a fuss about the words "safe children and grandchildren", thinking that it would suit his purpose.
"They will never have children or grandchildren." He Fanhui sighed. In fact, I was never interested in the life or death of the workers. But at this moment, when I was choosing a cemetery for them, I suddenly realized that these dead indigenous people were also human beings. Many of them had no parents, wives or children. Now they have disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
The posthumous affairs are so grand that they are barely worthy of being the cornerstone of the great cause of time travel.
He Fang called back several labor teams and carried out simple cleaning and construction work. They cleared and leveled the ground, built slope protection and drainage ditches, trimmed the trees, and finally built a simple memorial tower. After more than ten days, it seems to be somewhat different. After a brief and solemn memorial ceremony was held in front of the labor camp in Yulinbao, the ashes of the first batch of dead workers and sailors were buried under the escort of soldiers of the Sixth Army - some were drowned or died in the explosion. , I had to bury a few clothes and other things in it and call it a tomb.
However, the posthumous honors given to workers could not curb the increasing number of casualties during construction. Although Zhuo Tianmin began to use the safety officer system among workers, vigorously carried out safety education every day before meals and before going to bed, and also strengthened the maintenance of equipment. Despite maintenance efforts, the number of deaths is still rising.
The special construction of the railway to Tiandu accounted for the vast majority of work-related injuries. The Yulin-Tiandu route passes through tropical jungles and valleys. The geological conditions are relatively complex and the natural environment is even harsher. During construction, falling rocks, fallen logs, and landslides caused many casualties.
The locusts in the river valley area have caused great trouble to the construction. The leech leaves the laborers bleeding and weakened. It has become a major problem that plagues the project. The Crossing Group lacks the necessary drug prevention and treatment methods, so it has to use protective facilities as much as possible. The workers are equipped with mountain socks - special socks used by mountain people to prevent leech. They are made of multi-layer cloth, making it difficult for leech to get through. Pant legs, sleeves, and neck are all covered. Everyone also returns a bamboo tube of salt. You can use salt to remove locust bites.
Shan Daoqian didn't care about polluting the environment, but he had no chemical drugs to use, so he had to use rough physical methods. Bulldozers, blasting and fire are widely used to completely destroy the living environment of the locusts. Shan Daoqian ordered all vegetation fifty meters along the line to be cleared, and then assisted with terrain reconstruction, including raising the foundation and digging trenches for drainage.
Drainage is what Shan Daoqian is most concerned about. Drainage not only eliminates locusts but also eliminates mosquito breeding environments. For small areas of low-lying land, bulldozers are used to directly bury the waste soil. Malaria is a problem in Hainan everywhere. Can't help but be on guard. When Wang Tao was in Yulin, the garrison troops took antimalarial drugs on time for prevention. There are too many people coming now, and it is impossible to prevent it in this way.
Every day, workers come to the construction site fully clothed and work in a temperature of nearly 30 degrees. After a while, their thick work clothes will be soaked through. One break after every hour of work. The Travel Group has prepared enough summer medicine and can prepare it at any time. The smoke from burning artemisia annua is everywhere along the road. The health team uses this method to drive away mosquitoes and prevent bites and infections.
The roadbed extends meter by meter. For every meter of roadbed built, one meter of rail track is laid behind. A diesel tractor locomotive driven by a gas engine drags a long flatbed truck along the newly paved track to transport replacement labor, food, medicine, clean drinking water, tools, equipment and materials to the first-line construction site. It greatly saves the labor and time consumption of moving materials.
Sometimes the construction team from Lingao Telecom came by railcar, led by Shan Liang - this was his job. The rail car is loaded with telegraph poles and rolled telegraph wires that have been transported from Lingao and have been treated with wood tar. This kind of telegraph wire is an enameled wire. The outside is wrapped with hemp silk for protection and then coated with a layer of raw lacquer. It is the current traversing group. The most corrosion-resistant telegraph wire in the world.
Lingao Telecom's construction team, under the command of Shan Liang, erected telegraph lines along the line. Wherever the tracks were laid, telegraphs would reach them. This was the basic principle of the Cross-Travel Group's future expansion.
But the most severe test is still to come. Finally, a "fake" person is found in the construction team. Hippo, who was sent to Sanya to take charge of health work, took a look at the ward: some of the six people admitted were pale and trembling, while others were flushed and sweating profusely. It is a very obvious symptom of malaria.
"This is malaria." Hippo concluded without further diagnosis. "Isolate him alone first." He added, "Mosquito screens should be put on the windows."
"Yes, doctor." The head nurse of Sanya Health Center is Guo Fu. She is now considered a key nurse of the Ministry of Health. Her diligence and talent make her stand out among the first batch of nursing students. The Ministry of Health is considering recruiting her. Trained to become the first generation of Aboriginal doctors. Letting her serve as head nurse this time also has the meaning of increasing clinical experience.
"Tomorrow you have to hold a meeting with the health workers." Hippo continued to instruct, "First, ask them to check the mosquito control situation in each camp, especially if there is any stagnant water? Those who have mosquito nets should urge them to hang them up, and those without mosquito nets should Dormitories must install anti-mosquito screens in accordance with regulations, and mugwort must be burned 24 hours a day - a special smoker for burning mugwort should arrive in a few days. During the transition period, health workers should especially remind everyone to pay attention to fire prevention."
The status of health workers in the Sanya Kai team is very high. In order to make the health workers speak effectively, the big bosses of the Sanya Construction Headquarters have specially raised the status of the health workers so that they have enough prestige. Anyone who offends the health workers will be prosecuted. Anyone who does not obey the health workers' instructions will be taken to the office of the labor camp and spanked until he can fully understand the meaning of hygiene.
"Second, you have to personally distribute malaria medicine to the health workers and ensure that each of them takes the medicine on time. This includes yourself and other nurses." Although the health workers are of low quality, they are the only force he can rely on now to ensure that The health of this group of people is a task.
"Yes, doctor." Guo Fu said.
"Thirdly, although the 6th Navy has their own health workers, you still have to inspect and supervise. Especially the 6th Army, they often have to go deep into the inner 6 areas. The epidemic monitoring of them cannot be relaxed."
"Yes, doctor."
"Specialize two nurses to take care of malaria patients." Hippo began to give medical instructions, "It goes without saying that you should take your medicine on time. Pay attention to keeping warm, cooling down and replenishing water. By the way, give the patients first-level sick meals."
"I have written it all down." Guo Fu looked at Hippo respectfully to see if the doctor who had taught her a lot of knowledge had anything else to say.
"Our difficulties have just begun." Hippo took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Guo Fu quickly took out a match from her pocket and lit it for him.
"Thank you." Hippo took a puff of his cigarette. "It has been almost 40 days since D-Day. The incubation period of malaria is about to pass, and we will soon usher in a peak period of malaria. This burden is not easy to bear."
"With you here, any difficulty can be overcome." Guo Fu looked like she had "complete trust" in him.
"I'm not a god." The hippopotamus smiled bitterly, feeling more and more that the burden on his body was heavy. The reserve of malaria drugs is always limited. I wonder if we can cope with it?
"The doctor is not a god, but a miracle doctor." Guo Fu smiled sweetly. This smile made the hippopotamus sway. This little girl is becoming more and more lovable.
The emergence of malaria patients attracted the attention of the headquarters - this was the issue that everyone was most concerned about when making the plan. An emergency meeting was immediately held in Yulin Fort to discuss how to respond. Not to mention the issue of mortality, once a large number of workers fall ill, it will delay the development schedule. v! ~!
