"Captain, one of the water inlets is blocked by mud and sand..."
"Li Ke, there's a problem with one of the lines..."
"Turn on the backup circuit and add another drainage pump!"
"Captain, Li Ke, the rain has softened the rock layer, and there are signs of landslides around the borehole..."
"We must resolutely not allow the life channel that has been built to collapse. Pour quick-setting cement..."
One by one, the lives of dozens of trapped people were being sent out on the front line. Although Li Xiuyuan said he was wearing a raincoat, he was still soaked. The rain was so heavy that it was useless to wear anything.
"Li Ke, another power line has gone out..."
"Oxygen conservation is our priority, and 60% of the electricity will be used exclusively for the air compressor!"
"Li Ke, there's a problem with the drainage..."
"We'll increase the number of people on the filter desilting shift. If we're short on manpower, we'll transfer more..."
This heavy rain has multiplied the difficulties of the rescue operation. Although Li Xiuyuan and the rescue team had made sufficient preparations in advance, as time went by, the number of accidents and dangers faced by the front-line rescue site continued to increase, and the pressure they faced was also growing.
Li Xiuyuan accidentally fell on the muddy road next to the drilling rig. When he got up from the ground, although there was nothing wrong with his body, his whole body was like a mud man.
However, Li Xiuyuan just wiped his face with the rain. With such heavy rain, all the dirt would be washed away.
The atmosphere in the sky was very depressing. Every minute and every second could make all the previous rescue work go to waste. Any mistake could make the rescue work fail.
Everyone's nerves were tense, as if they would break in the next second.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the rain had not let up, and at ten o'clock, it was still getting heavier.
At this time, visibility was basically non-existent. The heavy rain brought water mist, making it impossible to see people more than five meters away. Li Xiuyuan and Wu Zhiqiang did not dare to run around, so they stood in the most conspicuous position and directed the scene.
There was a heavy rain pouring down overhead, and the temporary waterproof shed built on site was long gone, having been completely dismantled to protect the equipment and waterproof some of the drilled holes on site.
However, even so, accidents still occur frequently. At 10:10, another power supply line was interrupted. Now we have to ensure drainage and build a "life channel" to supply oxygen. If we continue drilling, there will not be enough electricity.
"Stop the drilling work and give priority to sealing the surface to prevent the drill hole from being scrapped." Li Xiuyuan finally gritted his teeth and said.
The drilling work has not stopped since the rain started to get heavier at eight o'clock. After all, there are still two people who have not been contacted. But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan can't care about anything else.
On one side were the other three life channels, ten people. On the other side were the two people who had yet to be contacted. A decision had to be made as to which was more important.
What is the overall situation? This isn't the trolley problem; it's about the overall situation. There's no other way. We must prioritize protecting some people.
