Chapter 302 Found but can't save
What was presented to everyone was a narrow valley that was basically north-south. On the east side of the valley were some steel structure factories and more than a dozen rows of board houses. It was probably the rough selection equipment and place for personnel to live in this gold mine.
On the west side of the valley, a hillside that was supposed to be covered with lush and primitive forests was completely gone at this time. A large area with a width of more than 200 meters and a height of more than 100 meters was like a huge trumpet-shaped triangular mountain sliding down the eastern slope of the mountain. A large number of shocking landslides under the steep hillside also left a huge "scar" on the eastern slope of the mountain.
As mentioned earlier, whether it is a landslide or a landslide, it is a very terrifying geological disaster. On the plateau, landslides or landslides are common, but most landslides and landslides occur in unmanned areas or rarely visited areas. Even if some areas occur on both sides of the road, such as the sea trenches on the Sichuan-Tibet Line, and the wheat-to-wheat natural dangers in the past, such places that pose a major threat to humans, have become less threatening under the control of humans.
As for Tibetans living in mountainous areas, thousands of years of experience have allowed them to know where the village should choose to avoid such geological disasters. Therefore, it is said that a few landslides caused by extreme geological disasters such as strong earthquakes may cause devastating blows to the village. Under normal circumstances, landslides or landslides may rarely cause huge damage to the village.
But this mine is obviously not within this ranks.
Perhaps the geological conditions here were relatively stable in the past, and the lush vegetation growing on the surface of the mountain was enough to ensure that no landslides even if the heavy rainstorm occurred. Or even if a landslide or landslides or collapses occurred, because there were no people here before, it would not cause any harm to humans.
But this mine came here and smelled of gold.
If you want to mine gold, it will inevitably cause devastating removal of the vegetation here. This can be seen from the huge mine that has almost been filled with landslides. For such a large mine, all the vegetation that originally grew on the mine will inevitably be removed.
Liu Mo'ang couldn't know how deep the mine was, but it was absolutely shallow. He dared not say that it was hundreds of meters deep, but there should be a depth of thirty or forty meters.
Although there is vegetation protecting water and soil at the edge of the mine, there is no one below. So under the erosion of this heavy rain, and the lack of support under the mountain due to the mine, a disaster inevitably occurred.
To be honest, such a landslide is nothing to do on the plateau. At least compared to the huge landslide that Liu Mo'ang saw near Yigong Lake before, the landslide here is not even considered a younger brother. Even some landslides on the west bank of the Yajiang River seen from Motuo to the Bed Collapse are much larger than the landslide here.
But the problem is that when the landslide occurred, forty-two people were working in the mine...
Just as Liu Mo'ang was stunned, Secretary Liu had already jogged forward quickly, and the people he brought also ran over. A short distance of dozens of meters, their shoes could no longer see the original color, and they were all soaked in mud.
It was really stuffy and hot here. Liu Mo'ang simply took off his shirt, wore a vest and followed him with a white lion.
As soon as I walked to a few places where leaders seemed to be gathering, one of them heard: "No matter what, you must first search and rescue workers who may survive. If there are not enough staff, continue to call people! If the vehicles cannot enter, please come in on foot!"
Seeing Secretary Liu looking timid in front of this person, Liu Mo'ang estimated that the status of this leader should be very high, either from the city or from the district.
Liu Mo'ang didn't have the time to listen to the leader's instructions. He came here to save people. He quickly came to the mine pit. After seeing the huge landslide at close range, he realized that the disaster seemed to be more serious than what he saw just now.
Huge amounts of mud and countless stones of varying sizes almost filled the mine with a diameter of more than fifty meters. Only a small part of the east side could barely see a section of mine road.
And this is just a look at the surface. Who knows how deep it is below, and there are hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of landslides.
There are hundreds of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and camouflage vests searching inside, but compared to such a huge mine, these people seem to be dropping the bucket.
Several people set up some equipment on the east side of the mine, which seemed to be monitoring the situation of the opposite mountain to prevent a second landslide.
Liu Mo'ang squatted down and hugged Bai Shi's neck and said, "Son thief, our task today is to find someone, smell it with your nose and listen with your ears. As long as someone is buried below, you will scream for your father a few times. Do you understand?"
The white lion's originally white coat was stained with a lot of mud, but the white lion still nodded sensibly, and then jumped down.
Liu Mo'ang followed the white lion, and followed him down with two steps, one slid, three steps, and one staggered. Without going far, the white vest on his body turned into the color of mud.
After descending to that small mine road that was not buried by the landslide, Liu Mo'ang met two soldiers, one of whom was holding a life detector in his hand and was searching for the landslide with difficulty.
When the two soldiers saw the white lion, their eyes lit up. One of them asked, "Man, is your dog a Tibetan mastiff? Can it be used as a search and rescue dog?"
The two soldiers looked not old, and they probably only had twenty years old at most. Although their faces and hair were muddy, they could not cover their slightly green faces.
Liu Mo'ang smiled and said, "It's okay. My dog has grown up in the grasslands of northern Tibet and has always been very smart. Although I have never done a job of searching and rescue dogs before, I probably don't have much difference. Isn't there any information that Tibetan mastiff is the most sensitive to smell among all dog breeds? You can try it today."
One of the soldiers shook his head and said, "We also brought two black backs in our camp today, but we haven't found a survivor yet. Under this kind of landslide, alas..."
Liu Mo'ang didn't want to continue this heavy topic anymore, so he asked, "When did you come in?"
"It's about 10:30 in the morning! Our camp is relatively close to this place, so we came straight after receiving the order. Our car has a high chassis and is able to drive in."
Liu Mo'ang nodded and said, "Then you two are busy here first, I'll go there and take a look."
After saying goodbye to the two soldiers, Liu Mo'ang went to chase the white lion. With just talking, the white lion had already rushed out more than twenty meters away.
As soon as he took two steps, the white lion in front roared, opened his mouth and roared twice at its father's father, and then roared twice.
"Damn, no, I'll find it so soon?" Liu Mo'ang thought of it in surprise. While speeding up, he turned his head and shouted to the two soldiers just now: "Can you two come here? It seems that my white lion has discovered something."
The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, then they showed ecstasy on their faces, and followed Liu Mo'ang to run there desperately, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
When they arrived at the location of the White Lion, the three of them looked at each other a little.
This location should belong to a section of the mine road, but it has been buried. It is surrounded by stones of all sizes. The largest stone is as big as half a small Xiaolong. It is roughly estimated to weigh twenty or thirty tons.
However, through the gap between these large stones, you can find a smaller layer of stone below, and you can vaguely see some gravel and mud below. No matter how you look at it, there are no signs of survivors, but the white lion is still snoring in a low voice.
The soldier holding the life detector decisively turned on the instrument, but the next moment, the instrument immediately made a harsh "drip" sound.
"Damn... there are really people below!" The soldier couldn't help but exude fragrance.
Another soldier immediately blew the whistle hanging around his neck. The next moment, dozens of people rushed towards him. The leaders who were originally directing the search and rescue also trotted towards him.
The first person to run over was a strong man about thirty years old. He spoke in a rich Bashu dialect and asked, "What did you find?"
The soldier holding the proof detector said excitedly: "Company Commander, the life detector has responded. It is estimated that there are survivors below!"
"Meow baby, why are you still standing there? Digging!" The company commander said and then slid down the slope, but after seeing the big rocks, his face began to look ugly.
These large stones weighing several tons or even dozens or twenty tons are on the top layer, and it is very difficult to dig them out. If there are mechanical equipment, it is easy to say, but the problem is that there is nothing here, and it all depends on manpower.
More and more people gathered over, and when the leaders saw this situation, their faces became ugly.
In this case, there is really no way to dig. Unless these large stones can be removed, it will not be possible even if they are dug from the side. Not to mention anything else, if it collapses, so many large stones will be enough to crush all the people below to death!
But these big stones are obviously not something that can be removed by human power...
Digging, it’s obviously a life-and-death death! But if you don’t dig, the people below will not be saved!
Everyone was at a loss, and Liu Mo'ang was also confused. Only the white lion was snoring and circled around the place.
Faced with such a situation, no one can do anything about it.
The anxious Liu Mo'ang didn't know what to do, but suddenly felt a throbbing from the depths of his heart. He stood aside, almost subconsciously, and part of his consciousness penetrated into the Five Elements Jade. As a result, he found that he almost had enough happiness to unseal the last fire hourglass two days ago, and it was full at this time.
