No matter what kind of underground mine, coal mine, iron mine, or aluminum mine they are now in, the tunnels of underground mines are not places that one person is willing to enter.

Humidity, narrowness, turbid air, and a certain risk of explosion and collapse, which is what every miner clearly understood before going down the tunnel.

You also have to change into clumsy and breathable work clothes before you can ride a rail car and slowly enter the depths of the tunnel.

It's still tiring when you come and return.

Why did this young section chief go down the tunnel as soon as he arrived?

Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?

Besides, this was the first morning of the first day.

Xu Mei couldn't figure it out.

But seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhong Bai looked at the watch again and reminded: "Master Xu, it's already 8:25. Is your mine not going to produce on holiday today?"

Originally, Xu Mei, as the mine manager of Zimin, naturally didn't have to go to tunnels every day, and it was basically only once or twice a month. However, Zhong Bai, a member of the supervision team, took the initiative to go down. She, the mine manager, could not stay on the ground, right?

"Of course I'll give birth!" So, after being asked by Zhong Bai, Xu Mei came to her senses. After thinking about it, she thrust her chest without hesitation, and said, "Since Section Chief Zhong is going down the tunnel to check the actual situation, I'll go together!"

"Secretary Zhong, Mine Xu, you must be careful. Then I will accompany Director He to check the information." Nie Mou finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this arrangement. If Xu Mei didn't say anything, it would be impossible for the mine to let Zhong Bai go alone. There must be a decent person with him, right?

Xu Mei didn't say anything, nodded, and then asked someone to take Zhong Bai to change his work clothes.

A young worker found a set of work clothes that were about the same size as Zhong Bai, and was about to teach him how to wear them first. Unexpectedly, Zhong Bai quickly prepared them himself, which surprised the worker.

"Leader, didn't you say you used to work in a fertilizer factory? Why are you so skilled in our work clothes? Could it be that the fertilizer factory also needs to go to the mine?" the young man asked blankly.

Zhong Bai smiled slightly and said, "Of course the fertilizer factory doesn't have to go to the mine, let's go."

Of course he wouldn't tell the young worker that he went to the mines in his previous life without eight times or ten times a year, right?

Not to mention this kind of bauxite mine with the best safety, even some rare earth mines with extremely complex geological structures and extremely high risk have been put into use!

Of course, this so-called "the best safety" is relative, and it was only after Zhong Bai had learned about the geological data of the No. 2 submine mine in advance that he dared to do this as soon as he came.

But it is obvious that when Zhong Bai was sitting on the railcar just like other workers, the workers immediately became much more kind to the young section chief sent by the provincial department.

If you can go down the tunnel together, you will be a real hardcore coworker!

This is actually no less meaning than carrying a gun together and passing through the window together!

After all, mining work in underground tunnels is dangerous. To put it bluntly, as long as you go down, everyone will be grasshoppers on a boat. If anyone encounters danger, the only one who can help you in the first time is your coworkers, not the people on the ground.

With the sound of the track car sliding "bang bang", the light gradually darkened after entering the tunnel.

It has always been believed that bauxite is distributed more than 150 meters underground. Although Zhong Bai knew that China actually has deeper minerals with a depth of 200 meters to 670 meters underground, it is obvious that the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City is not that type.

The currently mined area of ​​Sub-2 has penetrated 130 meters underground, which is 70% of the exploration depth of Sub-2, and this depth is not shallow across the country.

Under the dim mine lamps, passing through one bend tunnel after another, a mining point appeared in front of you.

Underground, everyone's voices will become smaller. This is because loud noises may cause some accidents. So Xu Mei pointed to the sectioned alley in front and whispered: "This is our main mining method at present. This point just collapsed last Thursday. You can see our pit wood consumption..."

Zhong Bai clearly saw the dense and dense pillars behind the rake bucket and ordinary pillars, which were the "pit wood" used to support the balance of the mine-falling point.

Judging from the above new and old, it is obvious that this batch of pit wood is not a product of the same batch, with new and old, and the specifications are slightly different.

Zhong Bai immediately realized that it seemed that the mining area did consume a lot of wood.

"The five pit woods in front should have been transferred from other sub-mines, or new ones from the unit, right?" Zhong Bai turned his head and shone the five pit woods with the artificial mine lights on his head: "Even pit woods are not replaced in the same batch at one time. Don't you know that there is a great risk in doing this?"

As soon as an expert spoke, he knew if there was any. After hearing Zhong Bai's first sentence, he pointed out the hidden dangers in the mining industry. Xu Mei couldn't help feeling weak, her figure swayed slightly, and she didn't stand firm and almost hit the rock wall!

"Master Xu, be careful!" A worker next to him was quick-eyed and immediately reached out and pulled her back, otherwise his head would hit the sharp rock wall if he was about twenty centimeters away!

Of course, Xu Mei must have worn a hard hat as required and nothing big happens, but it would be a little embarrassing if she really hit her.

It happened that Xu Mei stood up in a mess and accidentally met Zhong Bai again.

Zhong Bai smiled slightly and said nothing, but Xu Mei felt very unhappy. Why was she so lucky today?

But Zhong Bai didn't say anything, so Xu Mei had to turn around and blame the worker who pulled her: "Xiao Liu, what did you do today? I just stepped on my foot!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mine Manager Xu..."

Xiao Liu was about to apologize, but was interrupted by Zhong Bai: "Do you have a big steel tape measure? Give me one."

"Oh, yes, leader, wait." Xiao Liu immediately fumbled on his body for a few times, took out a large steel tape measure and handed it to Zhong Bai: "Here."

Zhong Bai's actions made Xu Mei feel more and more puzzled.

This is awesome, what do you need to do for a steel tape measure?

But Zhong Bai didn't explain, but after pulling it apart, he asked Xiao Liu to cooperate with him to re-measure the length, height and some irregularities of the tunnel wall.

After calculating these numbers slightly, Zhong Bai will have a plan!

"Okay, today's trip was not in vain." Zhong Bai turned to Xu Mei and said, "Your basic work is better than I thought, but due to objective conditions, there is no way to further increase production with traditional methods. You should change your thinking."

"What? Section Chief Zhong, what's the change of ideas?" Xu Mei, the second monk, was confused.

Zhong Bai didn't explain, but just stuffed the large steel tape measure back to Xiao Liu, and said to Xu Mei: "We can go back to the ground first, so as not to delay the normal work of the workers today."
