Chapter 2184 Exploring the Cave

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. There is one more thing. When I go to Haizhou to see you, the master will also get the news. I think that since I come to the memorial hall so often, I should give the master and his family an explanation, otherwise people will think too much."

Xie Shengchen said, "You are very thoughtful. I will go to Zhensheng and Zhenqi to explain the situation and relieve their concerns. You don't need to stay here for too long. Go and save people."

Liu Fusheng nodded, then stood up and said goodbye, and took a car back to the mine disaster site in Mingguang City.

……

When Yang Shan saw Liu Fusheng, he immediately reported the progress of the matter.

Xie Zehua had secretly mobilized some engineers from the Haizhou Garrison District to arrive at the scene, and they, together with Professor Wang and others, entered the cave again.

Under the measurement and guidance of Professor Wang, the explosives have been placed and the wall-breaking equipment has started operating. It is estimated that the results will be available soon.

Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows: "Professor Wang is really efficient."

Yang Shan sighed, "What we do concerns hundreds of lives. No one would dare to take it lightly... I watched the whole process and I feel that Professor Wang can definitely do it."

Liu Fusheng smiled and asked, "Are you so confident?"

Yang Shan said: "Yes, the master of geology is indeed extraordinary. If he can't rescue these trapped miners, I'm afraid no one else in the world can do it."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "I think so too. Professor Wang can do it."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the construction site of the cave.

Xie Zehua was in charge of temporary mobilization and command outside the cave. When he saw Liu Fusheng coming, he immediately went up to him and briefly explained the situation.

According to Professor Wang's request, the engineers have dug a passage several meters deep into the mountain wall. It is estimated that the entire channel leading to the underground river in the mountain will be opened in the second half of tonight.

Then, after cleaning and widening, a large number of rescue workers will be able to enter the underground river through the tunnel before dawn.

Xie Zehua said: "According to Professor Wang's request, I have prepared a large number of waterproof suits, as well as oxygen equipment and detection equipment. I can't stay here for too long. Secretary Liu can call me at any time if you need anything."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Standing Committee member. Leave the rest to me. If there is any emergency, I will send Comrade Yang Aiguo to help cover it."

Yang Shan immediately said: "Secretary, rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

After making simple arrangements, Liu Fusheng went down the tunnel to find Professor Wang.

He did a lot of things today, including the contact between Xie Shengchen and Sister Xie, cooperating with Professor Wang to explore the cave wall, letting Yang Shan take the opportunity to trick Tang Shaoying, etc.

Liu Fusheng must cut off Tang Shaoying's retreat route in order to make full use of the resources of Tang Shaoying and Yoshizawa Minglu.

Now everything is ready, all that's left is to do our best to rescue the trapped miners.

When Liu Fusheng arrived at the bottom of the cave, many lighting equipment had already been installed.

Under the command of Professor Wang, dozens of engineering soldiers are working intensively.

Liu Fusheng greeted Professor Wang and stopped talking. Professor Wang had no time to pay attention to him as he was concentrating on directing the work.

Wang Jian, who had been following Professor Wang, sighed and said to Liu Fusheng, "This is also the first time for me to see my uncle working. If it were me, I would have lost interest in it a long time ago."

What Wang Jian said was not an exaggeration at all. After Professor Wang came to Haizhou, he hardly had any rest. He had been constantly studying various information and thinking about how to rescue the trapped miners.

After sorting out the information, he went to the cave and did it himself, handling and guiding every detail. The energy he expended was enough to make young people feel inferior.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "This is probably why Professor Wang has achieved such great success in his professional field. Whether it is his extraordinary energy or his meticulous spirit, it is something that ordinary people cannot achieve."

Wang Jian agreed with this and was about to say something when he saw Professor Wang suddenly turn around and look at them: "You guys should withdraw first. The last directional blasting is about to begin."

Wang Jian's eyes lit up and he said, "Uncle, the last blast is coming so soon? This is much earlier than we expected."

Professor Wang said: "The situation on site is better than expected, and these engineers are very professional. Based on the current progress of the work, I have more confidence in rescuing the trapped miners."

Liu Fusheng and Wang Jian both understood what he meant.

Perhaps there is God's will in the world. When something starts off smoothly, the result will generally not be too bad.

Soon, an explosion was heard, and a large amount of rubble rolled down from the tunnel excavated by Professor Wang and his team, instantly piling up into a small hill.

The engineering soldiers immediately cleaned up the scene, and two soldiers went into the blasted tunnel to explore inside.

Seven or eight minutes later, Professor Wang's intercom heard an excited voice from a soldier: "Professor, good news. We have broken through the mountain wall. There is indeed an underground river ahead."

This news made everyone excited.

Only Professor Wang showed no excitement. He held the intercom and said, "How far is the tunnel entrance from the surface of the underground river? How deep is the underground river? What is the air quality inside? Is there enough space?"

The series of questions made the soldiers in charge of the exploration silent for a moment, and then they began to answer one by one.

Professor Wang's calculations were very accurate. The entrance of the tunnel opened by the engineers was just above the surface of the underground river, which did not cause the backflow of water from the underground river and even left sufficient buffer space.

After the soldiers' exploration, they found that the deepest part of the underground river was about one meter, and the shallowest part was about thirty to forty centimeters, which posed no threat to normal people. Some soldiers also extended the exploration to a farther end, and the news they had received so far was that everything was going well.

The underground river is spacious, has sufficient air, and has many branches. Some of these branches extend in the direction of the mine. The internal space of these branches is large, and two people can pass through side by side without any problem.

A series of good news put everyone in a good mood.

Professor Wang did not take it lightly. He put on a waterproof expedition suit and brought various emergency equipment. He turned around and said to Liu Fusheng, "Are you interested in going inside with me? I have to remind you that this is a natural underground river in the mountain. There are many unpredictable situations. You need to be responsible for your own safety."

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly: "You can lead by example, so why should I worry?"

Professor Wang nodded, and took Liu Fusheng and other staff members, pulling the fixed ropes, to start exploring the interior of the cave.
