Upon hearing Wang Qiang's question,
Zhou Yongli stammered, "There are three more! Chen Dazhuang, Hou Xiaojun, and Li Zhigang."
Wang Qiang looked incredulous. "How come there are still three people? I notified them so early, this shouldn't be happening. I've been waiting for ages and haven't seen anyone! Could I have made a mistake?"
Zhou Yongli naturally couldn't give a clear explanation.
He could only reply, "I don't know. I looked at the sign-in sheet for today's mine workers. Everyone else came up, except for those three!"
Before Wang Qiang could say anything more, a hesitant voice whispered, "Captain Wang, Chen, Chen Dazhuang, those three were sent by me to clean up the abandoned mine. They should be, they should be stuck inside!"
One sentence enraged Wang Qiang, and despite his exhaustion,
He stepped forward and grabbed the person who had spoken by the collar.
He roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? Weren't those mines already prepared to be abandoned and blocked off? What's there to clean up? You're not trying to make things difficult for Chen Dazhuang, are you? Is that why you assigned him this job? Even if that's the case, you heard the alarm, why didn't you notify them to evacuate together? The loudspeakers and all that were taken down in those mines, so they might not be able to hear it, didn't you know that?"
The person being questioned knew he was in the wrong, and when the alarm sounded, he panicked somewhat.
They were only thinking about getting out of there as quickly as possible, and forgot that three people hadn't returned to the team.
"I... I got so nervous I forgot!"
"you!"
Wang Qiang was furious and wanted nothing more than to punch the other party!
Fan Dacheng had now heard the whole story, and since things had come to this point, he was no longer nervous.
Having Bao Ruijin here isn't all bad; if we can let him see our efficiency and the mine's responsiveness, then...
They might look at us differently. There have been several dangerous situations at the mine before, but luckily we held on tight and weathered each crisis unscathed.
We've conducted several disaster relief drills before; as long as we follow the procedures step by step, there shouldn't be any major difficulties.
All of this is thanks to Mo Yuan; if he hadn't given the warning early, almost everyone would have already come out.
If there were twenty or thirty people trapped underground, I doubt I'd be able to handle things so easily right now.
However, all of this depends on one prerequisite: the person must be rescued first!
As long as there are no casualties, everything is fine. But if someone dies, then all your worries are for nothing!
"Wang Qiang, stop with the nonsense and go get some rest. We'll need you to lead the rescue team later. Find out the exact location of those three workers. Our equipment is ready. Follow the drills and pump out the water as quickly as possible to organize the rescue. Get them out as fast as you can! Comrades, this is a race against time. Everyone must be fearless of hardship and fatigue. Under County Chief Bao's command, I believe we will win this rescue! Everyone, get ready to split up and move out!"
After finishing his sentence, Fan Dacheng turned to Bao Ruijin and said, "County Chief Bao, is there anything else you need to instruct me on?"
Bao Ruijin waved his hand. "Comrade Dacheng, you professionals can handle things in the mine. I won't give unsolicited advice. But I have only one request: do everything in your power to ensure the safety of the people trapped in the mine! I will work alongside you until the trapped workers are rescued. Get moving! We'll head to the meeting room and won't cause you any trouble. If you need any help from other departments, just let me know, and I'll coordinate!"
Fan Dacheng nodded repeatedly and assured him that they didn't need help for the time being, as their mine had previously undergone training and drills with the fire department.
We have all the necessary tools and equipment, and the workers know how to operate them, so we don't need them for now!
Fan Dacheng arranged for Zhou Yongli to take Bao Ruijin, Mo Yuan, and others to the conference room to rest first.
He remained in place to direct operations.
Bao Ruijin realized he couldn't get involved or help much, and he didn't intend to stay and cause trouble.
Having me there would only make everyone hesitant and unable to perform freely.
It would be better to step down to the second line.
On the way back, Bao Ruijin couldn't help but chat with Mo Yuan again.
"How did you discover the anomaly down in the mine? Do you have expertise in this area?"
Mo Yuan felt a chill run down his spine under Bao Ruijin's gaze, as if Bao Ruijin could see right through him.
But now he could only bite the bullet and explain that although he wasn't in school,
But I also studied with my second brother, and later I went to my second brother's school library to borrow books.
While learning about aquaculture techniques, I inadvertently flipped through a book that described common hazards, warning signs, and remedial measures in underground mines.
I had a general impression, and it wasn't anything special until Zhou Yongli mentioned that the temperature downstairs seemed considerably lower than before.
This reminded me that I had been blindly copying and memorizing information.
I never expected to stumble upon something like this; I'm just glad I could help!
Bao Ruijin gave Mo Yuan a strange look, feeling that he wasn't telling the truth. Leaving aside whether there really was such a book about the various situations in the mines,
However, based on what Mo Yuan said, his second brother was attending an agricultural school. Whether the library of an agricultural and pastoral school would have such a book, he remained skeptical.
However, this is not the time to delve into the matter further. Mo Yuan has always been a mysterious person.
It seems like they know a lot; perhaps they'll bring even greater surprises in the future!
Unexpectedly, my trip to such a remote area yielded such a pleasant surprise!
Back to reality, Bao Ruijin couldn't help but feel fortunate that Dai Moyuan had made the right decision to come.
As the county head, my main responsibility is economic development, and Xiangcheng County has a weak foundation to begin with.
With few tax-paying enterprises and institutions, Liangkou Coal Mine can be considered the pillar industry of the county.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have made an exception and used my connections to get them a new set of equipment.
You have to understand that everything was in ruins at that time, and all regions were vigorously developing their economies. If it weren't for ourselves, we wouldn't have been able to build this equipment.
Xiangcheng County estimates that even if they beg and plead, they still won't get it.
I never expected that something would happen as soon as I arrived at the mine.
If it weren't for Mo Yuan's warning, a major accident would have been inevitable if too many people had been trapped underground.
As the county magistrate, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape responsibility either. Although it might not significantly affect my career,
However, some blemishes are inevitable.
Now, all we can do is hope that the three workers underground will hold on.
I hope they can be rescued quickly and successfully!
As long as there are no casualties, the impact of this incident can be minimized.
Bao Ruijin composed himself and walked silently toward the conference room!
At this moment, Mo Yuan saw Bao Ruijin deep in thought, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back...
