After Zhong Hai left, Zhou Yang immediately led people into the abandoned warehouse to look for useful things.
From the perspective of the mine, these are just scrapped junk, but from Zhou Yang's perspective, many of them are rare treasures.
For example, there were a few rusty impact drills in front of him. Although they were small in size, they didn't have much technical content in Zhou Yang's opinion, but ordinary people couldn't buy them at all.
If it can be repaired, taking it back to the village to dig up rocks or something will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
Zhou Yang also saw that there were many scrapped agricultural tricycles in the warehouse, which should be used to pull ore residues from the mine.
Although the car was scrapped, the tires didn't seem to be much worn. It would be a good choice to dismantle them and put them on the carriage.
There are also old wires and various electric switches everywhere inside, and these things can be repaired and used.
If we bring it back to the village, we will definitely save a lot of money when we provide electricity to the villagers later.
Therefore, when he came here, Zhou Yang felt as if he had entered a treasure house, and everything he looked at seemed useful.
But these are secondary. They are mainly looking for the crusher this time.
Soon, Zhou Yang saw what he was looking for in the corner of this dilapidated warehouse.
There are four or five large mining crushers scattered here, all of which are driven by motors. Not only are they large in size, they are also quite crudely made.
Zhou Yang knew that these were old Soviet-style equipment and had basically been eliminated.
Moreover, this thing is mainly used to crush ore, and it cannot be used to crush bone residue.
At the moment, Zhou Yang moved away all the debris covering them, and then checked the motors of these crushers.
It's a pity that the first few motors have been disassembled and all the copper wires and other things inside have been removed. It is obviously completely scrapped.
Fortunately, the remaining two motors were still intact, so Zhou Yang decided to dismantle these motors.
But soon, they realized a big problem, that is, they did not bring professional tools!
It's not that they don't know that they need to bring tools, it's that the entire Babaoliang brigade doesn't have a few decent tools except for a few pliers and a few small wrenches.
So Zhou Yang originally planned to ask Zhong Hai to help borrow some tools, but he was just talking and forgot about it.
Fortunately, there is a mine in operation not far away. There are many workers there, so you can ask them.
At the moment, Zhou Yang asked Li Guoqiang and others to move out the small machines first to free up space, while he walked towards the mine.
Before Zhou Yang could get closer, he heard someone shouting at him: "Comrade, there is work going on here. It's very dangerous. Leave immediately!"
As soon as Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately said: "Comrade, I am a relative of your mine manager Zhong. If I have anything to do with your foreman, can you call him for me?"
There is no other way. At this time, we can only pull the tiger's skin to pull the flag!
When Zhou Yang mentioned Mine Manager Zhong, the miner who just spoke thought that he had indeed seen Deputy Mine Manager Zhong's little jeep.
He hesitated for a moment and walked over immediately.
Arriving in front of Zhou Yang, the miner wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Comrade, our captain just went down the well. Do you have anything to do with him?"
"I want to borrow some tools from him, is that okay?" Zhou Yang said.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. If not, I can take you down the well to find our captain!"
"Is it deep?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"The entire mine is indeed very deep, but our captain probably didn't go deep, maybe a few dozen meters at most!"
"It's okay if it's a few dozen meters away. Comrade, please show me the way!" Zhou Yang said.
"OK!"
Then the master miner said hello to several colleagues next to him, and then led Zhou Yang towards the mine.
Zhou Yang knew that there are two types of iron ore mining: open-pit and underground.
Open-pit mining is to first peel off the earth and stone layer covering the ore, and then directly mine in the open pit. It is generally used to mine thick ore bodies with rich reserves and shallow burial.
Underground mining is carried out by digging vertical shafts, inclined shafts or adits to connect ore bodies. The mining operations are all carried out underground and are suitable for mining deposits that are deep from the surface.
Ninghai Iron Mine is a typical underground mining. Judging from the shape of the mine, it should be mined through an inclined shaft.
The space under the mine was much larger than Zhou Yang expected. At least it wasn't like the small coal mines he had seen before, which made people panic when entering.
The underground of this iron mine is both high and wide, so it is not too depressing for people to enter.
The most important thing is that there are wooden supports and protections on both sides of the mine, and there are even cement pillars between the partitions, which makes people feel at ease.
After walking downward for more than ten minutes, the two finally came to a relatively open space, which should be an equipment room.
The master miner asked a few questions to the workers inside, and then said to Zhou Yang: "The captain has gone to the equipment room No. 3. Comrade, what are you going to do? Continue or go up and wait!"
"How long will it take to wait if we go up?"
In fact, when he got here, Zhou Yang felt that he was a bit stupid to come down rashly.
The captain was not here just now, so he should go directly to the office of the Mining Department to find Zhong Hai. Anyway, it was just to borrow some disassembly tools.
"Comrade, under normal circumstances, our captain would not go up until after eight o'clock!"
Zhou Yang thought that he still had to wait two hours, and immediately asked: "How far is the next equipment room from here?"
"Less than a hundred meters!"
"Okay, let's continue!"
We’ve already reached this point anyway, it doesn’t matter if we go down another few dozen meters.
In this way, the two of them continued walking deeper into the mine.
But after walking more than ten meters, Zhou Yang noticed something unusual.
First, he smelled a faint odor, which was not very strong and difficult for ordinary people to smell.
But Zhou Yang's physical fitness has been strengthened, and his hearing and sense of smell are much more sensitive than ordinary people, so he smelled this smell.
At the same time, he vaguely heard a "hissing" sound coming from the mine.
At first, Zhou Yang thought he heard it wrong. When he stopped and listened for a while, he confirmed that he heard it correctly.
At that moment, Zhou Yang felt an ominous premonition well up in his heart!
The miner who was leading the team saw him suddenly stop and asked immediately: "Comrade, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
People who go down the well for the first time will feel somewhat uncomfortable. This is because the deeper you go, the less oxygen content there is.
At this time, you usually have to take a rest and get used to it before going on again!
Zhou Yang did not answer his words, but said solemnly: "Normally, how many people are working underground in your mine?"
"About three hundred people, what's wrong?"
"What if an accident occurs? How can we notify the miners to evacuate as soon as possible?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Then you have to go to the control room. Where is the electric bell? If the electric bell rings three times, it means something has happened. Everyone must go up the well to evacuate or hide in a temporary refuge chamber to avoid disaster!" the miner replied immediately.
"Where's the nearest control room?"
"It's in the equipment room No. 3. What's wrong?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "Then take me there quickly. Is something going to happen to this well?"
Although the miner master didn't understand why Zhou Yang said that, seeing how serious he said it, he didn't dare to neglect it.
He immediately speeded up and ran down with Zhou Yang.
