Xing Liuzhu seemed to have foreseen this problem early.
Not in a hurry, he touched his pocket, took out half a pack of crushed Chinese cigarettes, passed them around to the drivers, took one himself, and took out a match to light it.
Xing Liuzhu blew out a puff of smoke, the smoke obscured his face, and he said leisurely:
“Although the construction of the railway track from TLF to Alashankou has not yet been completed, the railway track can already reach a place a hundred miles away from Alashankou.
The end point is less than twenty miles away from the collapsed cave in Alatau Mountain, where comrades from the local rescue team will meet you. "
"Even if the railway track can reach Alashankou, it does not mean that the train can run." Cao Wenzhi frowned.
Li Aiguo knew what Cao Wenzhi meant.
After the rails are laid, they still need to maintain the ballast, clear obstacles, drain water, absorb shocks, adjust the track/maintain track smoothness, and dispatch professional test vehicles to conduct "hot sliding" before it can finally be opened to traffic.
At present, the railway track reaching Alatau Mountain is only paved with sleepers and rails. If the train runs on the line rashly, it is easy to be dangerous.
Any uneven spot on the track or any screw that is not tightened properly will cause the train to derail.
Leaders think about when the problem can be solved, while workers think more about how to solve the problem.
Seeing that the task arrangement could not be carried out, Xing Liuzhu became a little impatient at the time. He patted the table and said: "Don't I know what you are considering?
but!
A petrophysical exploration team may have found clues to a new oil field. "
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly changed.
Everyone knows that our country has always been considered by foreign countries as an oil-poor country.
Foreign experts believe that based on the continental oil-poor theory, it is impossible for my country to have large oil fields.
Last year, the discovery of the Dushanzi oil deposit broke this conclusion.
If more oil deposits can be found in the Kraant area based on the Dushanzi Oil Mine, it will be enough to form a large oil field.
It is enough to remove the hat of an oil-poor country.
This is not only related to national honor, but also determines whether energy will be controlled by others and whether it will be strangled by others.
The drivers and stokers, who had been worried just a moment ago, straightened their chests and sparkled in their eyes.
Li Aiguo was the first to stand up, straighten his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured the organization, please rest assured leaders, our 131 driver team will definitely complete the task."
Cao Wen waited for a group of people, not wanting to be left behind, and stood up one after another to express their attitude.
Duan Zhang Xing Liuzhu looked a little moved: "Please rest assured, everyone, as long as this rescue mission is completed, I will apply to the superiors to increase everyone's salary by one level!"
"If something happens, our maintenance department will help you... carry it!"
This is both motivation and a statement.
The so-called accident was a car crash and people were killed.
The so-called carrying means that the locomotive depot will help the drivers and stokers to take care of the whole family.
It doesn't matter that Li Aiguo is alone.
Cao Wenzhi and Lao Liu both took care of their families.
Xing Liuzhu's statement can relieve their psychological burden to some extent.
Time was tight. After assigning tasks, Xing Liuzhu immediately arranged for people to arrange preparations.
Li Aiguo discussed driving matters with Cao Wenzhi.
To achieve your goals, you don't just have to be passionate, the important thing is to use your brain.
"Master, the biggest dangers on unaccepted railway tracks are gravel and obstacles. If we install a shovel type obstacle remover in front of the train, most of the dangers can definitely be avoided."
"What is a shovel type obstacle remover?"
"Look at this"
Li Aiguo asked Zhang Gong to borrow a pen and drew a sketch on the straw paper according to the style of the shovel-type obstacle remover in his previous life.
Although it is very simple, the effect is similar.
Both Cao Wenzhi and Lao Liu had many years of driving experience, and they instantly realized that this method had certain feasibility.
Cao Wenzhi praised: "Good boy, with your simple design, our chances of coming back alive are much greater."
Seeing that Cao Wenzhi was full of praise, the section leader Xing Liuzhu immediately handed the straw paper to the comrades around him: "Time is urgent. You immediately send someone to call the old Hutou in the maintenance workshop and ask him to put the shovel platoon in half an hour no matter what." Get the barrier out and weld it on the front of the locomotive. If it’s not finished, you can pack up and leave tomorrow.”
"yes!"
Seeing the comrade turn around and leave, Section Chief Xing Liuzhu told him to keep it confidential, and then turned back to Li Aiguo.
"Comrade Patriot, what else do you have in mind?"
"Commander Duan, I think we can install two high-intensity lights in front of the locomotive and on the top of the locomotive. In this way, even if the train breaks down, we don't need to worry about the light when repairing it."
"Good idea, I'll arrange it immediately."
"Wait a minute, rubber baffles can be installed on the sides of the locomotive. Even if it encounters flying stones, it will not damage the body."
In just four or five minutes, Li Aiguo put forward seven or eight opinions, and Xing Liuzhu nodded frequently.
Seeing this scene, rescue team leader Zhang Gong touched the messy beard stubble on his chin, thoughtfully.
As the commander-in-chief of the rescue operation, every team member participating in the operation must obtain his consent.
The team members performing this mission are not randomly selected and need to meet three criteria.
First, he has a good background and is politically reliable.
Li Aiguo was born into a poor family, and his father was an experienced driver who sacrificed his life for the railway industry. There was no problem with this.
Second, he has good driving skills, rich driving experience and a mileage of one million kilometers.
Li Aiguo's skills are indispensable in the maintenance section, but his time in the maintenance section is too short, his mileage is too little, and his experience is insufficient.
Zhang Gong was originally opposed to Li Aiguo joining the rescue team.
But Xing Liuzhu insisted again and again, claiming that driver Li Aiguo was different from ordinary drivers.
He can always come up with a variety of ways to solve problems from unexpected angles, which is what the rescue team urgently needs.
Zhang Gong didn't believe it at first, but now he has to believe it.
Even a professional engineer couldn't design the shovel type obstacle remover just now in such a short time.
No, professional engineers would never come up with the idea of such a design.
Accompanied by orders one after another.
The masters in the maintenance workshop were all shouted out from their dormitories.
Sleepy-eyed, they felt a little confused when faced with the strange drawings.
Under strict orders, he went to work without any hesitation.
Half an hour later, the comrade responsible for the preparations returned to the conference room.
"Report, the rescue train is ready and ready to go at any time."
Considering that time was tight, Zhang Gong, the captain of the rescue team, waved his hand and led the team outside without wasting too much time.
Li Aiguo, who was following the team, seemed to remember something, stopped, and suddenly turned to look at Section Chief Xing Liuzhu.
"Captain Duan, before I leave, I want to entrust you with something."
His solemn attitude made Duan Zhang Xing Liuzhu look stern.
He stepped forward and held Li Aiguo's hand tightly, with a solemn expression:
"Comrade Patriot, you can tell me anything."
Cao Wenzhi and the others all turned their heads.
"."
Under the concerned eyes, Li Aiguo was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Chang Duan, when I was brought here just now, I was walking in a hurry. Half the pot of braised pork was still stewing on the coal stove."
