Got 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, dinged, and kept ringing.
Several comrades wearing 50-style military uniforms were 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 1950s-style military uniforms walked up to a middle-aged comrade wearing glasses and saluted him politely.
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 muttered in a low voice.
Both of their faces looked anxious.
Something big might have 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.
He sat next to Cao Wenzhi, touched him, and asked 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'll let you know later. The leader will naturally let you know. Don't ask more questions about things that haven't 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 for 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 abandoned.
Because Minister Niu of the Ministry of Armed Forces has also arrived.
The one who married a beautiful North 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, I pulled you out of bed at night because our superiors have given us a glorious and arduous task."
"As railway people, can you complete your mission?"
No matter what the task is, just shout slogans.
Li Aiguo stood up and followed Cao Wenzhi and the others and shouted a few words.
Xing Liuzhu nodded with satisfaction:
"The matter is urgent, so I won't say any more nonsense. Now, Mr. Zhang from the Exploration Corps of the Frontier Petroleum Company of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, who is responsible for the rescue work, will introduce the specific situation to everyone."
When he heard the name of Frontier Oil Company, Li Aiguo knew that the situation was serious.
Frontier Petroleum Company was formerly known as China-Mao Petroleum Company.
It was co-founded by Domestic and Lao Maozi with the purpose of exploring 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 provide manpower and effort to explore for oil in the border areas.
For a long time, the results of exploration were not ideal, and changes occurred 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.
It's a coincidence.
Only two years after Border Oil Company replaced China-Mao Oil Company, an oil well was discovered in Borderland - the Kelantang 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 showed up in the maintenance section late at night, something must have happened to the exploration team.
really.
Zhang Gong introduced what happened in a hurried tone.
turn out to be.
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".
Ten drilling sections will be deployed within a 160-kilometer-long and 30-kilometer-wide range from Kelantong to Urho.
Cooperate with seismic exploration, conduct overall dissection, and expand the exploration area.
At one time, hundreds of geological exploration teams rushed to the frontier and launched a vigorous battle.
This time it was the petrophysical team that was involved in the accident.
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, 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 deduce where there may be large oil fields.
Therefore, it is necessary to 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.
The lives of more than a dozen comrades were 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 secondary collapse.
The rescue team weighed again and again, and chose to seek help from the capital when they were not sure of the rescue success.
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 3,000 kilometers from the capital to Alatau.
The first domestic transport aircraft of this era is under research.
The total load capacity of the An-2 transport plane purchased from Lao Maozi was less than two tons.
The ground road environment 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 confidential.
Even if a rescue operation is carried out, it must be carried out secretly, so 50-type military uniforms are sent out late at night to pick up the team members participating in the operation to the locomotive depot.
After Zhang Gong introduced the situation, Section Chief Xing Liuzhu took it over with a solemn expression:
“When the petrophysical team entered the cave, they carried part of the standard field rations with them. There is a water source in the cave, which 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 at the national railway diagram on the wall, and said loudly:
"Our rescue train departs from Beijing, passes through the Beijing-Guangzhou Line, transfers to the Longhai Line, and finally arrives at Alashankou through the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line."
When they heard about the Lan-Xin line, all the train drivers’ faces became serious.
Cao Wenzhi took a deep breath from the cigarette, raised the sole of his shoe to put out the cigarette, stood up and said, "Mr. Duan, the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line is currently under construction, and there is still a long section that is not open to traffic. Our train can't fly there!"
Li Aiguo raised his eyelids and remembered the information about Lanxin Line.
The construction of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Line began in 1952.
The line goes west from Lanshi and crosses the Yellow River, then crosses the Wushaoling Mountains with an altitude of 3,000 meters, enters the Hexi Corridor at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, passes through Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, exits JYG at the western end of the Great Wall, and passes through Yumen and Shu at the southern foot of Mazong Mountain. Lehe River, crossing the Hongliu River to the west and entering the border area.
It can be said to be a railway line built on a natural moat.
Not long ago, the Railway Workers newspaper published the good news that after the day and night efforts of the 126th regiment of 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.
