Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Chapter 167 Life and Death Rescue

The problem facing the rescuers is that if the ventilation facilities are forcibly excavated, it is very likely to cause a larger collapse in the goaf area.

The mine disaster emergency headquarters made a prompt decision and mobilized all the ventilators in the mine to support the collapsed goaf.

Since the main shaft transportation tunnel could not be opened for a long time, rescuers had to wear self-rescuers and forcefully enter the mining operation area from the air shaft against the wind flow.

It's a race against time as rescuers must reopen the ventilation shaft before the underground oxygen runs out.

After the rescuers entered the tunnel along the wind shaft and walked less than 150 meters, they discovered that the collapse directly above the wind duct had almost completely blocked the wind duct.

The rescuers used the iron drill they carried with them to carefully clean the air duct. Everyone knew very well that with such a strong gas smell, it only took a little spark from the iron drill to bury them here.

They had to use the most primitive method to advance slowly. What awaited them was not only the secondary explosion of gas and dust, but also the possibility of landslides anytime and anywhere.

After five or six hours, which seemed as long as half a century, five rescuers finally arrived at the mining area and found the remaining 24 trapped miners. The remaining three miners had been killed in the gas explosion.

There was still no movement from the main shaft transportation tunnel, and the auxiliary shaft almost completely collapsed. Zhou Ming, the leader of the rescue team, made a prompt decision and decided to take the trapped miners back the same way and climb out through the wind tunnel.

This is an extremely dangerous decision. The movement of so many people evacuating may cause a secondary collapse of the wind duct at any time. The evacuation of the wind duct is a taboo in the evacuation of a mine disaster.

As time passed by, everyone held their breath and slowly evacuated along the wind duct. Only the miner's lamp above their heads, as dim as a firefly, emitted a pale beam of light moving forward little by little.

Miners who have been working underground all year round know that speaking louder at this time may cause a secondary landslide.

Brazzaville.

In the private room of the Marina Hotel, under the recommendation of the Hernanste family, Qian Ning successfully hosted a banquet for Leo, the Gallic ambassador.

During the dinner, Leo naturally talked about Hernanst-Wive and the Thuringia Forest Resort project...

Qian Ning knew the meaning after hearing Xian Ge, and immediately understood Leo's thoughts. He took out a stack of equity documents from his briefcase, pushed them in front of Leo, and said with a "sincere" look on his face: "Mr. Leo, this is Turing Based on the 3% equity transfer agreement of Forest Resort, Zhiyuan International sincerely invites you to join..."

"Is this 3% equity?" Leo casually flipped through the equity transfer agreement and said casually.

Qian Ning cursed the greedy bastard in his heart, but patiently explained: "Mr. Leo, the group headquarters has regulations that all transactions involving more than 3% of the equity require the boss's personal signature. This is my greatest authority. If Mr. Leo is indeed interested in the Thuringia Resort project. After the Niali coal mine incident, I will apply to the headquarters and transfer 2% of the equity to you..."

When Yang Mo arrived at the Niali Coal Mine, it was already the third day after the mine disaster.

As soon as they met, Yang Mo couldn't wait to ask: "What are the casualties?"

Zhao Peng said sadly: "Except for the two miners who died on the day of the gas explosion, one miner is missing. The remaining 24 trapped miners have all been rescued. The fire in the transportation tunnel has also been extinguished, and the direct economic loss exceeded 500 yuan." Ten thousand U.S. dollars!"

"How is the mood of the families of the victims? What is the current attitude of the local government and media?" Yang Mo continued to ask, obviously relieved.

"The emotions of the families of the three miners who died have also been appeased. In order not to cause trouble, we have provided a pension that far exceeds the local standard. The local government has not yet made a clear attitude. The media has been very quiet and has not made any exaggerated reports about the mining accident. ..." Zhao Peng replied.

Yang Mo patted the haggard-looking Zhao Peng on the shoulder, nodded and said: "Your emergency response this time was very good! Has the investigation of this mining accident started? Human lives are a matter of concern, and all aspects must be investigated. An explanation!"

Before Zhao Peng had time to answer, a middle-aged man with a dusty face broke in and said excitedly: "Mr. Zhao, there is news about the missing Kepani. He was not underground when the explosion occurred. Someone saw him leaving. From the coal mine..."

"Who is Kepani?" Yang Mo asked with a frown.

"Kaipani was the maintenance worker of the conveyor that caught fire. We always thought that he was also killed underground. Today we learned from their neighbor that after the explosion, he saw Kaipani leaving the house in a hurry..." Middle-aged The man continued.

Yang Mo's heart moved, and his intuition told him that there must be something wrong with the repairman who suddenly disappeared. After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered: "Mr. Zhao, please immediately ask the local police for help to find Kepani. This person is likely to be responsible for this mining accident." The instigator of the accident is at least an insider..."

The accident investigation team also found that the belt on the conveyor that was burned beyond recognition was not the flame-retardant belt that had been used in the mine. Then they checked the inventory in the warehouse and found that the non-flame-retardant belt had been swapped.

All doubts pointed to Kepani, but Kepani seemed to have disappeared from the world. After leaving Niali, he completely lost track of him.

............................................................

In the conference room of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, the signing ceremony of the second phase project of Donghai Iron and Steel Plant was held as scheduled.

Reporters from many media outlets in Yanjing held up their cameras and waited for this historic moment...

Just when the project leader Luan Shujie unscrewed the cap of his pen and was about to sign the contract on behalf of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, Meng Chang walked in hurriedly and whispered in Luan Shujie's ear: "Vice Minister Luan, we just received the news that Zhiyuan Heavy Industry A major mining accident occurred in the Niali coal mine project in Congo in cooperation with the Ministry of Machinery and Coal. The coal transmission line produced by Zhiyuan Heavy Machinery spontaneously ignited, causing a gas explosion..."

Luan Shujie's expression changed when he heard this, he screwed the pen cap he had just unscrewed back on, put down the contract in his hand, and walked out of the conference room with Meng Chang.

All the media who were invited to the signing ceremony in the conference room looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know what had happened, which caused Luan Shujie, who was always resolute and resolute, to suddenly interrupt the signing ceremony that was about to be completed.

This is the power of Meng Chang. He chose this opportunity to report the mining accident scandal of Zhiyuan Heavy Machinery under the eyes of all media. Not only was it a major blow to Zhiyuan's reputation, but it also set the stage for his next step to regain control of Japan Steel Industrial Control. Pulling back to the negotiating table has prepared a foreshadowing!

After all, the Japanese gave too much...
