Chapter 71 Divers

Gao Jie sat at the dining table, facing the food on the table without any appetite.

"Why don't you move?" Cen Aini said in surprise, looking at Gao Jie and said, "I think your face is not very good. Are you uncomfortable?"

"No!" Gao Jie stood up irritably, "I have no appetite and I won't eat anymore." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Hey, you kid eat a little bit..." Cen Ailian shouted quickly, but Gao Jie went straight upstairs.

Back in her room, Gao Jie called Li Rui's cell phone again, but what she heard was the sound of the other party's shutdown, and it was probably out of power. She called Gong Hao several times during the day, and Gong Hao also told her about the on-site rescue situation, but Gao Jie also heard that the rescue progress was not big and the situation was not optimistic. Moreover, Gong Hao followed Gao Changlong back in the afternoon, and no news came again.

Gao Jie was lying on the bed and looking at the roof silently, feeling the urge to rush to the rescue site, but she knew in her heart that she could not help with anything, and her only choice was to wait for the news to come.

The rescue work has passed a whole day. The government departments at both municipal and county levels have mobilized all their forces. The current displacement has only reached 1,000 cubic meters per hour. The water level has finally begun to slowly drop, but it will take at least five or six days to rescue people. While the rescue commander is actively recruiting high-power drainage machines, two drilling rigs on the hill behind are also working intensively. Since the drilling rigs are transported in place, it takes time to install them. Two holes are drilled in the evening. Unfortunately, they have not found the correct position and there are no holes below.

"It won't work like this. It's been a day and a night. The progress has been almost minimal. I have to think about it." After Gao Changlong and Cui Ji'an returned to Pengcheng, the rescue site was Guo Wending. Originally, this errand was Sun Qinghua's, but Guo Wending took the initiative to stay. At this time, Guo Wending had long lost his usual elegance. His originally shiny hair looked a little messy, and his face was full of fatigue.

"Minister Guo, you have been busy for a day and a night. Let's eat something first and take a rest. I'll keep an eye on here first." Sun Qinghua, who had just hurriedly solved a box of lunch boxes, walked over and persuaded him while wiping his mouth.

In fact, Sun Qinghua welcomed Guo Wending to stay and take charge of the overall situation from the bottom of his heart. Now is not the time to fight for power and profit. In a sense, Guo Wending's staying greatly shared his pressure and responsibility. Although the two were divided into two factions when they worked together in the municipal government and their relationship was not too harmonious, they were sitting on the same boat and could only work together.

At the same time, Sun Qinghua also had a question in his mind, why did Guo Wending take the initiative to stay? Although he was the former deputy mayor in charge of safety production, if it were Sun Qinghua himself, he would definitely be able to hide. However, Guo Wending not only followed Gao Changlong and Cui Ji'an to the scene, but also took the initiative to stay. Is it just to save the forty-six trapped miners? According to Sun Qinghua and his colleagues for so many years, Guo Wending was not so noble, which is not in line with his previous style of doing things that he had always cleaned up the snow in front of his door.

After thinking about it, Sun Qinghua probably only had one possibility, that is, for Li Rui! Many people know that Guo Wending took good care of Li Rui. He was arranged to be the deputy director of the Planning Commission and served as the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. After the Organization Minister, he took him to the Party School to study, and then sent him to Nanqiao to gilt, and served as the Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Coal Management Bureau with a very oily and water. There are even rumors that Li Rui was Guo Wending's illegitimate son. Sun Qinghua just took it as a joke for this kind of rumor, but it seems that this possibility is really possible. Moreover, Guo Wending and his lover have never had children until now, so it is no wonder he is so nervous. If Li Rui has any accidents, wouldn't he have lost his son? So Sun Qinghua was quite sympathetic to Guo Wending after coming to this guess.

Guo Wending shook his head and said, "Old Sun, aren't you the same? You should hurry up and take a look. If I can't keep an eye on it at night, you can change me."

Looking at Guo Wending's exhausted face, Sun Qinghua sighed secretly in his heart, and had to say, "Okay, then I'll take a look first, and then I'll change you later."

In fact, Guo Wending had already scolded Li Rui countless times in his heart. This brat didn't know what was wrong with this. What could he do? If he had a good time, how could he explain to Zhang Xiuxiu? If Zhang Xiuxiu doesn't do it well, he would be in trouble. But the only thing that made him glad now is that the rope on Li Rui's body always keeps in touch with the outside, and pulls each other hard every hour to prove that the people inside are safe. So Guo Wending took the initiative to ask to stay and guide the rescue.

He rubbed his face hard with his hands, clapped his hands at the people in the command center and shouted: "Secretary Gao and Mayor Cui repeatedly emphasized that it is necessary to put the rescue of people's lives first. The rescue progress is very slow now, so we must find another way, everyone will focus on their ideas, discuss it carefully, and see if there are other effective methods. Don't have any worries, speak freely, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong."

At this time, the emergency rescue command center was crowded with people, and experts from several departments including the Municipal Coal Management Bureau, Safety Supervision Bureau, Water Resources Bureau and other departments gathered here to provide advice on emergency rescue and rescue.

These experts buzzed and discussed for a long time, but could not come up with an effective method. Guo Wending's face looked ugly. Just as he was about to get angry, one of the experts from the Water Conservancy Bureau raised his hand and said, "I have an immature idea, maybe I can give it a try."

"Tell me quickly." Guo Wending said hurriedly.

The age expert pushed his glasses and said, "We have not succeeded in drilling the tube from above, mainly because we have not found the exact location where the miner is trapped. I think it is better to send someone down instead of trying our luck on it..."

Before the expert could finish his words, someone interrupted: "The water level has now exceeded 500 meters, nearly two meters above the top of the tunnel. How can people go down?"

There were many people buzzing around and echoing.

Guo Wending knocked on the table with a stern face and scolded: "One of you just now has no choice. Now you can't wait to jump out and question it without saying anything. What does it mean? Let this expert finish the words first."

The person who interrupted the conversation was flushed by Guo Wendingxun's face, and the others lowered their heads one by one and did not dare to speak again. Only the expert from the Water Conservancy Bureau just now coughed twice and continued: "What I said was to send people down to the divers. Although the water below was all empty water from Xiaoyao, which was extremely turbid and there was no visibility, someone had pulled a rope over before, and the divers could go through the water along the rope. If it went well, not only could they bring some food and water in, but they could also find out the exact location where they were hiding so that we could drill holes from above."

"Okay! This method is very good! If it is implemented successfully, I will remember the merits for you." Guo Wending immediately applauded when he heard this. This is indeed a good and effective method.

"But there is still a problem with Minister Guo's method." The water conservancy expert said hesitantly, "Our Pengcheng is an inland city, and there are no big rivers or big lakes around it. As far as I know, our city does not seem to have divers."

"You don't have to worry about this." Guo Wending pondered for a while, waved his hand and said, "Immediately notify the municipal government to find several divers as quickly as possible."

A temporary emergency rescue command center was also set up within the Pengcheng City government. As the top priority in Pengcheng City, Mayor Cui Ji'an also personally took charge of the command.

"Diver?" Cui Ji'an heard the secretary coming to report that it was a rescue site that it was called by several divers. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and praised him: "This is a good idea. Send the divers as quickly as possible."

But his secretary said with a look of dismay: "Mayor, our Pengcheng is an inland city and there are no divers at all."

"What?" Choi Ji'an even didn't believe his ears. In a large city with a population of more than nine million, he couldn't find a diver. "Has every department asked? Is there any omission?"

In fact, if Cui Ji'an didn't ask, he knew that his secretary would not make such a low-level mistake. Sure enough, the secretary said with awkward expression: "Our command center has hotlines for all departments in the city and large enterprises and institutions, and there is indeed no diver. I also asked through other channels. It is said that only coastal cities and riverside cities with giant docks have divers."

Then the secretary whispered and said, "Mayor, do you think we should contact Jiangning or Haicheng?" Jiangning and Haicheng one by the river and the other by the sea. According to the secretary, it is impossible for these two cities to have divers.

Cui Ji'an did not nod immediately. The accident has not been reported to the province, and the news is temporarily controlled within the scope of Pengcheng. Of course, it is not ruled out that the news has reached the ears of some provincial leaders, but as long as the provincial leaders do not take the initiative to inquire, everyone will be tacit. However, if you ask for help from these two cities, the news will be wider, and the development of things may be out of control. Cui Ji'an has to be cautious on this point, but it is not possible to have no divers. After all, this is a very effective method. After considering it, he still picked up the phone and reported the situation to Gao Changlong, and also emphasized Pengcheng's own suffering.

Gao Changlong pondered for a moment and said, "The far water cannot save the near fire, I think it's better to ask the troops for help first."
