Seeing Zhou Yang coming over, Zhong Hai thought he couldn't wait any longer.
He came up to him immediately, and then said: "I'm really sorry, I'll let someone take you to rest first..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Yang say: "I may have a way to save those people underground!"
"What?"
"I just heard that the gas concentration underground has exceeded the standard and may explode at any time!" Zhou Yang said.
Before Zhong Hai could speak, Deng Haining who was listening suddenly asked, "What can you do?"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "The problem we are facing now is that if we don't pump the water, people may drown or die of suffocation. If we pump the water, it will easily cause a gas explosion!"
"In that case, the miners below will not be spared either. It seems that even if you extend your head and shrink your head, it will be the same!"
Deng Haining nodded and said, "Yes, that's the situation. It's a dead end anyway!"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "We can adopt a two-pronged approach, draining water on one side and diluting the gas concentration on the other!"
"Is this possible?"
"It should be feasible, but the gas must be diluted first!" Zhou Yang said.
At that moment, Zhou Yang explained in detail the plan for simultaneous drainage and gas dilution.
This rescue method was developed by a later rescue expert and has achieved considerable results in many mine rescues.
As a result, he himself was called the "Dinghai Shenzhen" by the emergency rescue team members, and was also awarded the honorary title of "Model of the Times".
After listening to Zhou Yang's rescue plan, although Deng Haining and others felt that there was a certain success rate, they were still not sure.
After all, they had never heard of or used this method in decades, and the person who proposed the method was not a professional rescue talent.
It doesn't sound very reliable, let alone the success rate!
But now they really have no choice. If they don't make a decision as soon as possible, the people below will really not be able to hold on.
Therefore, Deng Haining discussed with Deputy Director Wang and others, and could only carry out the rescue according to Zhou Yang's instructions with the idea of treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
Subsequently, the rescuers quickly adjusted their plans and directed adjustments to the ventilation system to start diluting the gas.
On the other hand, more water pumps are being mobilized to prepare for greater drainage.
Diluting gas is a technical job, and an accident can cause a gas explosion.
Everyone held their breath and concentrated, fearing that one breath of theirs would detonate the entire mine.
After persisting like this for nearly half an hour, the concentration of underground gas finally dropped temporarily.
Subsequently, all the large water pumps and pumps were turned on to drain water with all their strength.
At two o'clock in the morning, Captain Yang, who was covered in injuries, was rescued!
At three o'clock, eight miners trapped in a refuge room were also rescued.
By 6 a.m., the last trapped miner was carried out of the mine, and 22 miners were successfully rescued so far!
When the last miner was carried out of the mine, the scene burst into warm applause and cheers!
This is really a miracle. Even Deng Haining and Deputy Director Wang of Ning City couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two of them held Zhou Yang's hand tightly and kept saying words of thanks!
You must know that there are countless sudden mining accidents like this across the country every year. They happen almost every once in a while, and the number of casualties every time is very shocking.
For example, the Yiluo mining disaster in 1950, and the Baidong mining disaster in Datong in 1960, etc. In each case, hundreds of people were killed and injured!
In an accident like today, no one died, which is extremely rare across the country.
After all, the hydrogeological conditions around the mine are complex, drainage is difficult, and gas leakage must be guarded against.
There are even more dangers underground. Every rescue has to overcome one difficulty after another. If you are not careful, not only will all your efforts be wasted, but even the life of the person responsible for the rescue will be in danger.
However, although the whole process today was equally difficult, both the rescuer and the rescued were safe!
This can be said to be a great fluke, and it cannot be described as a miracle!
Both of them knew that the reason why such a miracle happened today was all because of the little comrade named Zhou Yang in front of them.
At the moment, Deputy Director Wang and Director Deng couldn't help but let others handle the aftermath. They directly invited Zhou Yang to the canteen of the Mining Department.
Zhou Yang was originally going to refuse. He was very tired now and wanted to go to bed early.
It's a pity that the leaders at the mine are too enthusiastic, and they have to give face to others when they ask for help.
In desperation, Zhou Yang could only go to the small canteen in the mine surrounded by these leaders.
The canteen of Ninghai Iron Mine is good, and the food is not to mention. After a while, a table was set up, all of which were hard dishes that were rarely seen in ordinary times.
In order to thank Zhou Yang, mine manager Deng even opened a few bottles of good wine.
Although Zhou Yang repeatedly stated that he could not drink, he could not dispel the enthusiasm of Deputy Director Wang and Mine Manager Deng.
In addition, Zhong Hai was also helping to persuade him to drink, so Zhou Yang had no choice but to pick up the wine glass!
Then... there is no more...
........
The next day, when Zhou Yang opened his eyes, he felt a splitting headache, and the discomfort after a hangover spread throughout his body.
Fortunately, he was in good physical condition and he got used to it after a while!
Zhou Yang was secretly surprised when he saw the clean and spacious room in front of him.
Even though the furnishings in the room look quite simple, the materials used are quite particular and there is even a separate bathroom.
In this era of scarcity, this accommodation can definitely be considered luxurious.
At the very least, the guest houses in the county definitely don't have this condition, and even the state-run guest houses in the provincial capital are not as good as this one.
After getting dressed and getting up, Zhou Yang washed his face and walked outside the house.
As soon as he came out, he saw a young girl walking over and said to him: "Comrade, are you awake?"
"Well, where is this?"
"This is our mine's internal guest house!" the little girl replied.
"oh!"
This answer was expected by Zhou Yang. Currently, large state-owned enterprises like Ninghai Iron Mine have their own internal canteens and guest houses.
On the one hand, it is because it is necessary. After all, leaders come to inspect every now and then these days.
However, there are no towns for dozens of kilometers around the Ninghai Iron Mine. When the leaders come, they can only eat and live here. How can it be done without a decent place!
On the other hand, the factory leaders want to give themselves some benefits, but these days they can't raise their wages openly, so that's all they can do.
It's just a characteristic of the times, and Zhou Yang has long been used to it.
"what time is it?"
"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon!"
After hearing this answer, Zhou Yang was suddenly confused.
But considering that it was already six o'clock in the morning when the rescue ended last night, and it was almost seven o'clock after dinner, it was not impossible to sleep until three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Where is your deputy mine manager Zhong?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"Deputy Mine Manager Zhong..."
Before the little girl finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from behind Zhou Yang: "Comrade Zhou Yang, you're awake!"
Zhou Yang turned around and saw that it was mine director Deng, and standing next to him was deputy director Wang.
Yesterday, he already knew that Deputy Director Wang was the second-in-command in Ning City. Although he held the position of deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, he was actually equivalent to the mayor of a prefecture-level city in later generations.
Although Zhou Yang in his previous life had met many real BOSS-level leaders, so he would not be surprised by a department official, but he was indeed the highest-ranking leader he had ever seen since his rebirth.
"Director Wang, Mine Director Deng, I'm really sorry, I got up a little late!" Zhou Yang said immediately.
"No need to apologize, it's a good thing to be able to fall asleep, unlike us old guys who wake up after a short nap!" Deputy Director Wang said with a smile.
Mine manager Deng said: "Comrade Zhou Yang hasn't eaten yet, let's go to the cafeteria to talk!"
When he heard the word "canteen", Zhou Yang immediately said: "Mine Manager Deng, we can eat, but we can't drink anymore today!"
Mine Manager Deng and Deputy Director Wang couldn't help but laugh when they thought of how Zhou Yang had crawled under the table after just a few glasses of wine a few hours ago.
"Okay, okay, no drinking!"
Afterwards, a group of three people walked towards the canteen not far away!
