Chapter 2179 Surrounded

Professor Wang smiled and said, "It's just an idea to find a different way. Ordinary rescue teams look at the overall structure of the mountain, the soil quality, the location of the mine, etc. I look at it differently. I pay more attention to the natural underground rivers, caves and other aspects of the mountain."

Wang Jian said: "Uncle knew that the rescue situation was extremely critical and the golden time left for us was getting shorter and shorter. Every second of delay could result in the loss of a life."

"So we can't rely solely on manpower to open up rescue channels, but we need to find natural escape routes based on the actual situation and connect them in the shortest possible time to rescue the trapped miners."

Liu Fusheng nodded slowly, and Xie Zehua also praised him highly: "Only a geology master like Professor Wang could think of and dare to use this method."

Professor Wang said: "That's too much. I just provided a plan and made some preliminary inferences about the possibilities. Whether it will work in the end still needs to be verified in practice."

Liu Fusheng asked: "Have you found the entry point to the escape passage?"

Professor Wang said: "Yes, there is a natural cave nearly 100 meters long behind this mountain. If you dig a distance of more than ten meters above the bottom of the cave, you will reach an underground river. Based on my understanding of the geological conditions of the mountain, the amount of water in this underground river should not be large."

"As long as we dig at the right angle, the escape passage will appear above the underground river and will not cause the river water to flow back down. In addition, this place is far enough away from the mine that violent digging will not affect the mountain structure of the mining area. It's only a dozen meters, and it can be opened quickly without any worries."

Professor Wang said: "This river has many branches. There are many natural gas vents in the mountains near our mining area. These vents are so small that even cats and dogs cannot get in. But according to my research, these vents are also connected to culverts and underground rivers."

"After checking several air vents, I have discovered the general pattern of their existence. I also asked Wang Jian to stay there for a night and extract some soil to measure the humidity at different times. Now I can be sure that many air vents are related to the underground river. In this case..."

Before Professor Wang finished speaking, Yang Shan's eyes lit up: "We can definitely follow the underground river to the location of the mine collapse to look for clues, maybe we can find a natural passage."

After a pause, Yang Shan became a little worried again: "But such a large air vent, even if we find it, it won't allow a living person to pass through."

Wang Jian smiled and said, "Comrade Yang is not a geologist, so it's not surprising that he has such doubts. In fact, the small pores outside may expand into tunnels inside the mountain that can pass a person or even a car. This kind of geological structure that allows ventilation is often found in many mines."

Professor Wang nodded and said, "The probability of contacting the accidental collapse area through the air vent is not high, but under the current circumstances, we absolutely need to try. If there is no ventilation vent, the air inside the mine will also be a problem. Now 48 hours have passed, and the trapped miners may be in danger."

Everyone nodded, indicating that they agreed with Professor Wang's opinion.

Liu Fusheng asked: "Where do we start?"

Professor Wang said, "Let's first find the cave that's about 100 meters long and is marked in the data. We shouldn't let too many people know about our actions. I suggest that we just go there. The general location is clear anyway."

Yang Shan said first: "No problem, when it comes to drilling holes, I'm an expert."

Liu Fusheng glared at him and said, "I have something else I need you to do."

"What's the matter? Is it more important than digging a hole?" Yang Shan was stunned.

Liu Fusheng pulled him aside and whispered, "You need to wander around the rescue site. If someone is watching you, lead them to a remote place..."

After hearing what Liu Fusheng said, Yang Shan blinked his eyes: "So I'm so cool? I'm being targeted after just two days?"

Liu Fusheng sighed. Yang Shan was indeed very eye-catching. Now not only Tang Shaoying and Wang Kecheng wanted to deal with him, but even Tang Shaohao and Yoshizawa Minglu probably disliked him.

Currently, Liu Fusheng and Tang Shaohao are still in a cooperative state, but Liu Fusheng absolutely does not want Tang Shaohao to know about such an important matter as the escape route.

Since he has already guessed that Yoshizawa Minglu will send people to keep an eye on Yang Shan, he needs to make some plans to lure the snake out of its hole.

As for Tang Shaoying, upon learning that Qian Xilin was kidnapped, he would definitely become confused and suspicious, and his primary suspect should be Liu Fusheng.

Yang Aiguo was jumping around Liu Fusheng happily. If Liu Fusheng kidnapped Qian Xilin, Yang Aiguo must be an insider.

Therefore, it was only natural for Tang Shaoying to take action against Yang Aiguo.

Yang Shan said with some pride: "They are quite insightful. They know that I am the key to the matter. However, I think they are tired of living if they dare to set their sights on me. Don't worry, Brother Sheng. I will definitely help you handle this matter clearly."

Liu Fusheng sighed, "Just follow my instructions for this activity, and you can do whatever you want in the future."

Yang Shan nodded and agreed.

After a while, everyone started to act separately.

After leaving the prefabricated house, Yang Shan walked to the center of the mine in a swagger, walked around for several times, made a phone call, looked at the sky, and then walked stealthily into the distance.

His series of actions were all seen by those who were interested.

After hearing the report from his men, Wang Kecheng immediately went to Tang Shaoying and said, "Secretary, our people discovered that Yang Aiguo seemed to be going to a distant place. I want to follow him and see what he is up to."

Tang Shaoying nodded and said, "Okay, go and teach him a lesson, let him fall off the mountain and get seriously injured, but keep him alive, and then try to find out where Qian Xilin went."

Wang Kecheng took the order and walked out the door.

During this period, he suffered many setbacks at the hands of Yang Aiguo, including pretending to be Liu Fusheng to receive him and confronting him in public, making him lose face.

Wang Kecheng kept everything in mind.

He knew that Yang Aiguo must have a background and he might not be able to afford to offend him, but now that he was helping Tang Shaoying, even if he had the imperial sword, Tang Shaoying would definitely be able to handle any problems.

Yang Aiguo is just a secretary after all. If he had a powerful background, he wouldn't have helped Liu Fusheng.

An hour later, Yang Shan walked alone to the back mountain, which was sparsely populated and very desolate.

Wang Kecheng stood on a high place, holding a walkie-talkie, and instructed his men: "Make sure there is no one around, then control Yang Aiguo, don't let him make a fuss, and beat him up if he dares to speak."

The subordinates scattered around immediately received orders.

A few minutes later, Wang Kecheng's men surrounded Yang Shan from all directions.

Yang Shan looked at the six or seven burly men around him with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Are you all forest rangers in the mountains?"
