She showed her determination to fulfill her mission and her unyielding spirit in the face of life-threatening situations, and she bravely faced challenges and gave it her all. This triggered praise and applause from all her colleagues, among whom Zhang Yazhi applauded the most excitedly, her hands were all red, and she looked particularly excited.

After the meeting,

Li Aiguo, Cao Yun and others went to the railway yard for equipment inspection as usual, starting a new busy day. Suddenly.

An urgent announcement was heard throughout the base broadcasting system. "Warning! Warning! There is a loss of control in this area. Dozens of trucks have slid along Track 4 onto Trunk Road 2. All trains departing from Track 4 are requested to temporarily stop. Specific traffic arrangements will be updated later. Please make emergency preparations.

This announcement completely disrupted the previous peaceful and tranquil state, and everyone was stunned - the word "out of control" became a heavy hammer in their hearts at this moment.

In the past, Li Aiguo had only heard his father talk about train out-of-control situations. If it happened on flat ground, although there was a possibility of losing control, there was still room for recovery. If the train lost control on a slope, he fell into deep worry, as if a hanging stone was pressing on his throat - "Bang!"

Faced with the sudden abnormality, Cao Yunzhi clapped his hands fiercely. "From our locomotive section's No. 4 track and continuing on the main road, the road for hundreds of miles is all inclined ramps, which means the situation is quite complicated and serious."

Why is Cao Wenzhi so clear?

It turned out that Train No. 131 arrived on Main Line 2 after departing from the capital.

"pat"

Mr. Zheng, an old master who was smoking a pipe, suddenly let go of the drawer and it fell to the ground.

"This is a big problem. That guy is moving as fast as an express train. If there are other trains on the road, both sides will be destroyed."

"Expressive vehicle," Lao Zheng seemed to have rashly estimated the power of the fast-moving train.

If it happens on a road that continues downhill, the train speed can reach two to three hundred kilometers per hour.

Imagine the scene when dozens of carriages weighing hundreds of tons hit the ground.

Even a huge mountain would shake due to this impact force.

Safety is always the lifeline of railway work; work at any time cannot be decoupled from "safety".

Since the liberation, when the national transportation agency was established, safety has been placed in the most important position.

After several years of efforts, a comprehensive emergency response system has been established.

The dispatch center immediately issued an emergency warning according to the response procedures:

Trains along the No. 2 Main Line were instructed to prepare measures in advance to avoid being affected by the out-of-control train.

At the same time, this unexpected situation will be directly notified to the section-level main **, requesting how to properly handle it.

Five minutes later, Section Chief Xing Liuzhu received the news in the discussion room.

Trying to calm the anxiety in my heart, I asked the dispatcher who reported to me to confirm the situation, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, there were eleven carriages loaded with food that fled from the locomotive depot and headed towards Line 2."

"Each carriage weighs a total of 62 tonnes."

Every word conveyed was like a heavy hammer hitting Xing Duanchang's heart.

The old section chief, who remained indifferent when the huge mountain fell, suddenly turned purple.

He took two deep breaths, trying to suppress his inner shock and anxiety, then turned around and pointed at the railway map hanging on the wall.

"Yizhuang and Wuqing military food stations..."

With each new station name mentioned, Director Xing's face became paler and more serious.

These stations are very active and busy.

If an out-of-control train were to hit, it could have catastrophic consequences.

at this moment.

The brows of several ** in the conference room were furrowed into pimples.

In the past, the locomotive depot had contingency plans for various train accidents, such as sending rescue trains in case of sudden vehicle failures.

The train overturned and there was also a professional assistance team to support it.

However, there is no preset plan for out-of-control vehicles.

The reason is quite direct. Once a train loses control, there is no way to deal with it.

All you can do is wait for the out-of-control vehicle to slide uphill until it stops on its own.

Or notify the derailment station ahead and try to switch the road to derail the vehicle.

There are eleven carriages in total, carrying hundreds of tons of food. If the carriages derail,

The economic losses are undoubtedly enormous.

After careful consideration and assessment of the possible risks and consequences, Director Xing tightly closed his lips.

He instructed the dispatcher: "Report to Zhangzhuang Station immediately and switch Line 4 to Line 6.

To ensure that the out-of-control vehicle is disconnected from the normal railway thread.”

The order had just been given when, click!

The director of the dispatch room rushed into the room like a gust of wind and lightning.

He knocked down a door without even having time to knock, and strode in front of Director Xing Duan.

His heavy and rapid breathing echoed in my ears: "Captain Xing, something big has happened!

I just learned from the ** General Dispatching Office that the No. 1216 train passing through Zhangzhuang Bandao Station,

Now we are heading towards the capital."

When Xing Duanchang heard this, he felt as if he had been electrocuted. He tightly grasped the director's sleeves with both arms.

He repeatedly confirmed: "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true! I personally contacted Zhangzhuang Station.

According to the stationmaster of the other station, the car arrived ten minutes ago. "

The director seemed to feel the pressure on his shoulders.

There are no maintenance stations on the route ahead, which means we have no way of being alerted to the situation of train No. 1216."

The director went on to explain.

Xing Duanchang felt his throat smoking and dry.

He subconsciously picked up the iron kettle and brought it close to his mouth, but put it down again without taking a sip.

"How many passengers are on board flight 1216?" asked Director Xing.

"The exact number of people has not yet been ascertained, but Train No. 1216 departs from Tangshan Reservoir and goes to Beijing, and is the only direct train.

The trains are usually full, with each carriage carrying about 118 passengers.

If we calculate based on the 2500 carriages, there are at least more than passengers. "

The trains at that time were inevitably overcrowded.

The supply of standing tickets always significantly exceeds the demand for seated tickets.

It is assumed that the No. 1216 train should carry nearly passengers.

Faced with this situation, Director Xing felt his hands begin to tremble.

However, he knew the importance of being the head of the locomotive department.

This is not a critical moment to panic, but a moment of calm command.

Director Xing took a deep breath, kept himself calm, and looked back at the leaders of other departments.

"More than a thousand passengers are facing life threats. What can we do to save them now?"

When they learned about the situation, the leaders of the various responsible departments were speechless for a moment.

Because the No. 1216 train passed the station,

The original attempt to derail the out-of-control train by changing the track has been thwarted.

All they can do now is wait for the fate of the out-of-control train to hit train No. 1216.

Director Zhang of the passenger car workshop raised his hand and said, "Director, perhaps the speed of the derailed train exceeded the safety limit and it may have deviated from the track at the sharp turn."

This is not without basis. However.

The dispatcher who was familiar with the route answered loudly: "On the way from Jingcheng Station to Zhangjiawan Branch Station, the track curve angle does not exceed 12 degrees, which will not cause the train to derail."

Director Zhang felt helpless and had to put down his arms.

The house fell silent again, and the tense atmosphere was frightening.

Everyone knows what disastrous consequences would be caused by a head-on collision between the out-of-control train and passenger train No. 1216.

Right now.

"Boom!"

Director Niu, the deputy director of the armed forces, slammed the table, straightened his body, and opened his eyes as wide as copper bells. "Director Chang, in my opinion, we should just use a cannon to knock that car off the track!"

Chang Duanzhang looked confused, "Cannon?"

"Brother Niu, the two smoothbore cannons you just adjusted yesterday,"

"I'll go back and get it, and shoot at the derailed train."

"Wouldn't that force it off track?"

"This won't work?" He paused and continued:

"Then don't make excuses. Besides, this is the capital. It goes without saying what the consequences will be if you use this thing.

Even if you are a sharpshooter, if a shell hits a derailed train,

None of you here are targets. If you open fire, everyone must be recalled urgently to ensure absolute safety.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should I do?"

Chief Niu slammed his fist on the table and suggested, "Then I will drive the jeep, catch up with the out-of-control object, and forcibly pull it back."

Director Zhang, the passenger transport manager, shook his head and denied it. "If the speed is fast enough, it will be at least over 60 kilometers per hour. Your jeep will not be able to catch up at all."

Before he finished speaking, Director Zhang's eyes suddenly fixed. "Hey, how could you forget? What if we can't drive the jeep? Let's go find a motorcycle!"

"As long as we find the out-of-control train and find a way to hook it onto the locomotive, and then gradually slow it down and adjust it back, isn't it easy to solve?!"

The foreman in charge of maintenance frowned and said, "Director Zhang, you are too optimistic. Hooking the hanger to the valve position on the train during high-speed operation is like shooting at a target half a kilometer away. Who can do it?!"

Director Niu clapped his hands quickly and said, "The number one person in our vehicle section is our Mr. Li." He was talking about Mr. Li - the top expert in our vehicle department!

Xing Duanchang nodded in agreement: "We can't just sit there and watch thousands of passengers put in danger."

He turned to Director Zhang of the passenger transport section and asked, "Mr. Zhang, has Li Aiguo's bus started running today?"

Director Zhang replied: "Section Chief, please know that at the scheduled time, the group of Train 131 had already started the journey, but the derailment occurred. Their route was Line , and it seems that they have not yet set off."

Director Zhang looked up at the time on his watch, then stood up and reported the information to Section Chief Xing.
