Chapter 87: Drill through the rock

　　 Jimingshan Coal Mine.
　　 There are a total of three large crawler drilling rigs. From the morning before yesterday to now, they have been drilling down. It has been two days now. At the beginning, everything went well. Although there were rocks, there were hard rock formations.
　　 Since this morning, all three drilling rigs have drilled into the hard rock formations. Upon hearing this news, Zheng Yan could sit still and immediately reached the Jimingshan Coal Mine.
　　Wang Xudong drove his off-road vehicle, took Liu Yu, Zheng Xiaotong, and the three of them to the coal mine. After Wang Xudong got off the car, he saw that there were a lot more people here than two days ago.
　　 In the periphery, many family members have gathered. These family members, no doubt not listed, are full of sorrow. In their sorrow, they are also full of expectations and hope that their loved ones can return safely.
In addition to a large number of family members, there are also many reporters. Many news media reporters set up cameras here. Some TV stations even report on the spot there. The situation here is reported and published in the form of news. .
　　 Wang Xudong and the other three walked inside. After getting inside, Wang Xudong saw that there were a lot more people here. Apart from some commanders, there were more rescuers wearing professional clothing.
　　 When Wang Xudong arrived, Zheng Yan was asking about the situation. Mayor Zhao replied: "Secretary Zheng, all three drilling rigs have replaced their drill bits and used drill gates to deal with the hard rock formation alloy drill bits, hoping to drill through the rock formation."
If you encounter a hard rock formation during a vertical drilling like this, there is no other way. It can only take some time to drill through the rock formation. What everyone hopes is that the rock formation should not be too thick or spend too much time. At this time, time is life.
　　 Time goes by little by little.
　　 The entire Jimingshan coal mine seemed to gradually become quiet, with only the roar of three drilling rigs. After replacing the alloy drill bits, the three drilling rigs continued to drill down.
Because there are three different drilling points, the three drilling rigs are still far apart. One of the drilling rigs is still on the hillside, drilling down vertically from the hillside position, because that position is a large roadway more than two hundred meters down vertically. The purpose is to drill all the way to the top of that large roadway and drill through.
　　 There were a lot of people next to each drilling rig, not only staff, but also rescuers wearing orange-red professional clothing. Basically, everyone didn't speak, watching the drilling rig go down bit by bit.
　　Three or four hours passed, and finally, the hard rock formations were drilled through one after another. After passing through the hard rock formations, the speed was significantly faster. Obviously, the hardness under the rock formation was much lower, and the drilling speed of the drill was also much faster.
　　 at noon.
　　 One of the fastest drilling rigs is about to drill through, and it will drill through to a predetermined tunnel soon.
　　 There were a lot of people around the drilling rig, and everyone looked nervous and hopeful. In the distance, on the periphery, there were some reporters and a large number of family members.
As the leader of Wujiang City, Zheng Yan has always been here as the commander-in-chief of the scene. As for Secretary Sun, as the main leader of Jiangnan Province, he is busy with official duties and cannot stay here all the time. He handed everything over to Zheng Yan. After the leader of Wujiang City, Secretary Sun returned to the provincial capital the day before yesterday.
　　 A reporter, holding a microphone, reporting on the scene to the camera, "Dear viewers, the exciting time is coming soon, the third drilling rig is about to be drilled, and the life channel is about to be opened..."
　　 The family members on the periphery also have their hearts hanging. They are full of hope and pray in their hearts to bless the safety of their loved ones buried underneath.
Zheng Yan came over. Not long afterwards, he finally got through. He drilled through a tunnel with a depth of nearly two hundred meters below. Suddenly, many people cheered and the drill rod began to withdraw slowly. The big hole that came out appeared in front of everyone.
　　 This big hole, which is bigger than a washbasin, is dark and nearly 100 meters deep, leading to a horizontal tunnel below, and it is also one of the main tunnels deep in the Jimingshan Coal Mine.
　　 Everyone cheered. Many of the family members waiting outside were weeping with joy. The tone of the reporter who was reporting the news was also obviously excited.
　　 finally got through!
　　 Soon, the dedicated camera equipment was slowly put down. Through the put down camera equipment, the following image was transmitted back through the data cable.
The cave is very deep, nearly two hundred meters deep. It can be seen from the image transmitted by the camera equipment that the position goes down to the horizontal roadway nearly two hundred meters deep. Except for a relatively thick rock layer, the rest There is basically no very thick rock layer, which is the main reason why it can be drilled so quickly.
　　 The situation in the horizontal alley was passed back. When everyone saw the situation below, their faces gradually became serious, because from the image, it can be seen that this horizontal alley was also seriously collapsed, and many places were blocked.
　　 Everyone was silent for a while, originally full of hope, but now that hope is shattered, everyone's mood suddenly becomes heavy.
　　 "Secretary Zheng, do you want to send someone down to have a look."
　　 Zheng Yan shook her head slowly, "The following situation is already clear, and it is useless to send someone down. We can only pin our hopes on the other two drilling rigs."
　　 The family members who were waiting for news from the periphery also heard the situation. Suddenly, the cry of the sky and the ground came...
　　 Although this drilling rig drilled through the main roadway, it was basically useless and ended in failure, because the main roadway collapsed seriously and no signs of life were found.
　　 There are also two drilling rigs, and everyone will pin their hopes on these two drilling rigs.
　　…………
　　 More than two hundred meters deep underground.
　　 This is a large-scale refuge site, because it is not far from the tunneling surface. When the disaster happened, the miners ran desperately here. All the 43 miners miraculously arrived here, and everyone was waiting for rescue.
　　 Two days and two nights passed.
The leading miner is a middle-aged man named Tan Xiaohai, a squad leader of the excavation class. Tan Xiaohai looked at his watch and thought to himself, this time, it should be in the afternoon, I wonder if people outside can come to rescue him .
　　Although this is the biggest refuge point, the situation is not optimistic. There is very little food. They are all expired biscuits or instant noodles. Everyone ate some of them. Now everyone is very hungry.
　　Water is often more important than food. If there is water, a normal person can last for at least ten days, but without water, even with food, he can only last for three to five days.
　　 This refuge point just doesn't have much water. There are only two or three boxes of mineral water for everyone, not enough for one bottle per person.
Tan Xiaohai looked at his watch, and then licked his chapped lips. After two days and two nights, he only drank a few sips of water. Tan Xiaohai was very thirsty, but there was no way. Mineral water was limited. There were more than 40 people, even if no one was there. I only drank a few sips, but I have drunk more than a dozen bottles, almost half of the mineral water.
　　 Precious water is limited. In addition, the situation is even worse. Several miners were injured. One of them was seriously injured, the wound was inflamed, and he was developing a high fever.
　　 Tan Xiaohai looked at everyone and knew that when it was time to divide the food and mineral water, Tan Xiaohai opened the cabinet containing the food and mineral water. Without Tan Xiaohai’s shouting, everyone spontaneously surrounded him and looked at Tan Xiaohai eagerly.
Someone among them said: "Old Tang, everyone is too thirsty. Can you drink more water this time? If this continues, we haven't waited for the people above to save us~EbookFREE.me~We are all thirsty. dead."
Tan Xiaohai sighed softly, nodded, took out the disposable cups, everyone lined up spontaneously, Tan Xiaohai began to pour water, after half a cup of water, after thinking about it, he poured a little more in and poured most of it. The look of the cup.
Obviously, this half of the glass of water was a little more than last time. Everyone lined up to drink water one by one. Each of them had half a glass. As for the number of patients, Tan Xiaohai poured a full glass. Take special care of these injured people.
Tan Xiaohai was the last to drink water. After everyone had finished drinking and distributed everyone’s food, Tan Xiaohai poured water for himself. After pouring half a cup, he hesitated and didn’t pour it down anymore. Compared to everyone’s half a cup , Tan Xiaohai is obviously a little less.
　　 A biscuit and half a glass of water. This is Tan Xiaohai’s lunch. In the morning, there was nothing to eat. Everyone only drank half a glass of water.
　　 Even with this saving, there is not much mineral water left, only a few bottles. It is estimated that it will be divided once again at night, there will be no more water, and there is not much food. It is estimated that it can be divided twice at most.
　　 In order to save energy, everyone drank water and ate a little bit, and then either lay or sat. They seldom walked, and there were not many people talking.
　　 Time passed minute by minute, and several hours passed.
　　 Tan Xiaohai took a look at the time, it was already evening, and thought in his heart, at this time, the sun is going to set, and the sky is about to get dark.
At this time, Tan Xiaohai had a strong desire to see the sun, even for one minute.
