The sudden evacuation bell disrupted the miners working intensively below each mine.
Many of them have been here since the Ninghai Iron Mine was first built. Except for the occasional three-ring bell during drills, the usual electric bell is just to notify people to start and leave work.
So after hearing the ringtone, everyone immediately thought that their ears had heard it wrong, and they asked the people around them for confirmation.
But when they learned that everyone heard the three bells, everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Someone quickly reacted, and then under the organization of the team leader or each team leader, the miners underground evacuated as required.
Let’s talk about Well No. 2 later!
After Captain Yang gave the order to retreat, Zhou Yang followed the first batch of miners to evacuate to the mine.
Captain Yang, because of his responsibilities, did not evacuate immediately. Instead, he stayed in the No. 3 equipment room with several comrades, waiting for the miners behind.
After Zhou Yang came up from the mine, he saw many people gathered outside.
Some of them are quite extraordinary in popularity, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary people.
Just when Zhou Yang was guessing who these people were, he saw one of them, an old man in his fifties or sixties, suddenly pointed at him and said, "Comrade, come here!"
Zhou Yang looked around, confirmed that the person was calling him, and walked over immediately!
Deng Haining did not recognize that Zhou Yang was not from the mine. After all, there were 1,500 to 600 people in the entire Ninghai Iron Mine, and he could not possibly identify them all.
The main reason why he called Zhou Yang over was that he felt that this young man's temperament was different!
Firstly, he was not wearing the uniform of the mine!
Secondly, the clothes on his body were relatively clean, and standing with a group of dirty miners, he was very conspicuous.
And he also saw that Zhou Yang came up from the mine, so he wanted to ask him about the situation underground.
After arriving at this person's side, Zhou Yang was hesitating how to say hello when he heard the other person ask first: "What's going on down there?"
Zhou Yang collected his thoughts and then said: "There are obvious signs of water penetration in the mine below. Not only is the rock layer damp and dark, but sweat is also hanging on the tunnel walls, and the temperature in the mine is also abnormal. On a hot summer day, there is actually something down there. It makes people shiver with cold, and the most important thing is the squeaking sound of water in the rock formations, which is the pressure of water flow, plus there is a faint smell in the air!"
Deng Haining is not an administrative cadre in the traditional sense. He is also a miner.
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, the experienced man immediately understood that these phenomena in the well were obviously about to lead to water!
Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise, I don’t know how much trouble it would have caused.
You must know that water leakage accidents can be big or small. If they are small, they will only affect the production progress and will not cause casualties.
But if you encounter the kind of underground water veins that are penetrated, or surface lakes and other accumulated water are leaked, the consequences will be serious.
If one is not careful, none of the miners working underground will survive.
Therefore, after hearing this situation, he was very satisfied with the reaction and handling methods of the underground team leaders.
"How many people below have not evacuated?" Deng Haining asked again.
This question stopped Zhou Yang. He was not from the mine, so naturally he didn't know how many people were there underground.
"I have no idea!"
"have no idea?"
Deng Haining immediately frowned and said, "What position do you hold? You look like a cadre. How can you not know how many people are there underground?"
Zhou Yang was about to speak when he heard the roar of a car approaching.
Then Zhong Hai was seen hurriedly getting out of the car, and then said to the two older men at the scene: "Deputy Director Wang and the mine director have issued emergency evacuation orders to the comrades in several other wells. The rescue team and the guard company have also gathered together, ready for underground rescue at any time!"
Deng Haining glanced at Deputy Director Wang, then nodded and said, "Well, it was handled in a timely manner!"
When his eyes were fixed on Zhou Yang again, he immediately asked: "By the way, what is your name and what position do you hold in the mine? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Zhou Yang heard from Zhong Hai's words just now that this old man turned out to be the director of Ninghai Iron Mine.
He immediately replied: "Hello, Comrade Mine Manager, my name is Zhou Yang, I am not from the mine!"
"Not from the mine?"
At this time, Deng Haining was completely stunned. How could someone who was not from the mine appear here, and how could he run down the well?
Just when he was about to question him, he heard Zhong Hai say immediately: "Mine manager, Comrade Zhou Yang is a relative of mine. The main reason I came here today is to buy some equipment that we have eliminated. I have asked you for permission on this matter!"
Deng Haining immediately remembered such a thing and said nothing more.
At this moment, there was another movement in the mine, and a large number of miners rushed out of the mine panting.
Soon, the outside of the mine was surrounded by dirty miners.
Just when everyone was noisy and messy, suddenly a shrill whistle sounded.
Upon hearing the whistle, all the miners immediately stopped talking and stood in line.
At this time, Zhou Yang suddenly heard Captain Yang's voice ringing in the field: "Each team leader should form a team immediately and count the number of people!"
After a while of counting, a middle-aged man immediately said to Captain Yang: "Report to Captain: There should be 68 people in one class, but there are actually 68 people. They are all here!"
"Report: There should be 70 people in the second class, but actually there are 70 people, all of them are here!"
"Report: 77 people should have arrived in the third class, but 66 people actually arrived, and 11 people did not arrive!"
"Report: 75 people from the fourth class should have arrived, but 57 people actually arrived, and 18 people did not arrive!"
"Report: 78 people from the fifth class should have arrived, but 60 people actually arrived, and 18 people did not arrive..."
Upon hearing that there were still 47 people who had not gone up the well, Captain Yang immediately said: "Continue to ring the bell underground and notify the comrades underground to evacuate immediately!"
"yes!"
Just as he was talking, more than a dozen people ran up from below the mine.
But compared to the people who ran out just now, they looked a little embarrassed.
Not only were the clothes on my body even dirtier, but the shoes under my feet were all wet, and the trouser legs were also covered with water.
Seeing this situation, Deng Haining immediately felt an ominous premonition and called over a young miner who had just come out of the well.
"How's the situation down there? Where does the water come from under your feet?"
The young miner was questioned so seriously by a big mine manager like Deng Haining. He immediately panicked and was speechless.
At this time, Captain Yang immediately took over the conversation and asked in a deep voice: "Wu Ping, was there water in the well when you were there?"
"Yes, yes, there is water!" the young miner replied.
"How much water is there?"
"It's not that big, just up to the ankle!"
Hearing this, everyone including Deng Haining couldn't help but take a breath.
Although the young miner didn't think there was anything wrong with this little water, Deng Haining and others were all experienced old miners, so they naturally knew what it meant.
Although the inside of the mine is humid, it is generally impossible for water to accumulate at such a deep depth. With so much water, it is obviously really permeable.
What's more important is that there are still many miners underground who have not come up. Now we are in big trouble!
