As water seeps in, the stones begin to loosen,

The soil gradually moistens like a lubricant, making the looseness bigger and bigger, until the surrounding area can no longer support it.

Then....

Snapped!

When a stone and soil fall into the water,

It's like a spark smashing into explosives, setting off chaos and commotion!!!

"Second landslide! Be careful of secondary landslide! Everyone, pay attention to the top of your head! Pay attention to the top of your head!!"

When he heard the sound of falling rocks, the leader of the construction team doubled up and yelled at the surrounding area almost at the top of his lungs, shouting at the top of his lungs.

And around him at this moment,

"Water pump! Add another water pump! The water is too deep! It must be drained!"

"Rescue team! Is there anyone left in the rescue team? We can't dig here anymore! Come here!"

"Where's the shield machine for rescue! Hasn't the shield machine arrived yet!?"

Noisy! Emergency! Mud and rocks are falling from the top of the head, dozens of figures are busy non-stop, water is seeping like rain up to the ankles, and water pipes are bulging and draining water all the time.

The power supply has been cut off long ago, and the only lighting is the lights on the helmet and rescue lights.

A very critical rescue scene in a dark tunnel!

The leader of the construction team wiped the mud on his face and looked at the rescue scene like a water curtain cave in the dark tunnel in front of him.

They were the engineering team building this tunnel. Water suddenly began to seep into the tunnel two days ago. They originally wanted to suspend the progress and send someone in to see if the cause was changes in the rock formations or continuous heavy rains.

But the accident still happened!

The latest section of the tunnel collapsed, trapping twelve people inside.

Although it took a day to successfully open the life channel and confirm that everyone was alive, it was difficult for them to quickly dig through the cave to save people without special rescue equipment!

"The rescue shield machine is here! The shield machine is here! Everyone, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this time, I heard shouts from outside. The rescue equipment, which had been delayed due to the remoteness and heavy rain, finally arrived. Everyone was refreshed.

But at this moment,

boom--!

In the dark and rainy tunnel, more mud and rocks suddenly slid down from above with a crash!

"Second landslide! Get down!! Everyone get down!"

When they heard the noise, everyone reacted hurriedly. Fortunately, only a small amount of earth and rocks remaining from the first collapse fell, and no one was injured.

But after confirming the situation, the construction team leader listened to his subordinates running up and shouting,

"A rock has fallen blocking the road! The TBM vehicle can't drive in now!"

"Take me to see it!"

In the darkness, the light beam on the helmet was shaking wildly. He followed his subordinates to the collapse point and looked at the large pile of rocks in front of him that was now filled with water.

The situation was critical and there was no time to hesitate. The leader of the construction team gritted his teeth and made up his mind and shouted to the side:

"Inform the explosives depot to leave immediately! Blow this up! Quick!!!"

As the notice was issued, figures nearby acted quickly, and confirmation roars sounded one after another in the darkness.

"The explosives will be shipped out of the warehouse immediately! Twenty kilograms of emulsion explosives!"

"Emulsify twenty kilograms!"

"Two underwater explosive mounts!"

"Two underwater stands!"

Then as the explosive equipment was placed, the leader of the construction team pressed the detonation button.

boom--!!!

Explosions sounded in a mountain tunnel outside a remote county town!

spreading mountains and fields,

If it’s a clear day, you can see cliffs, gorges, dangerous mountain peaks, and mountains and forests that cover the vast landscape like a green blanket.

But on this rainy night,

There was only the sound of rain and the darkness.

This is southwest China, one of the largest karst landforms in the world, with fragile and changeable geology and a large number of unstable rock formations.

Building tunnels here has always been extremely challenging, and under recent days of heavy rain,

This challenge has completely turned into a life and death crisis!

At the foot of the mountain, computers, surveyors and other professional equipment are piled up, which have been turned into temporary tents for the frontline headquarters.

The person in charge of the project was staring closely at the picture on the big screen, when a figure rushed in panting:

"There was a small landslide above! But there were no casualties. They blew up the roadblock and the rescue shield machine has already entered!"

"It is expected that the rescue channel will be opened in another eight hours!"

Specially used for tunnel and mine collapse rescue, the rescue shield machine can quickly open a rescue channel with a diameter of about 960 mm within 50 meters.

With it arriving at the scene, the safety of the trapped people can finally be ensured, but after hearing the news,

The solemn expression of the person in charge did not ease at all.

Because a greater disaster is coming!

Located in karst landforms, the mountain where they built the tunnel is extremely dangerous. Due to the recent heavy rains, the geological monitoring device detected 27 hours ago that

An extremely serious landslide is about to erupt!

"The detection helicopter has set off! The field of view is affected by heavy rain, but the channel is good, and the latest picture data has been transmitted back!"

“Contact received from the National Disaster Relief Center!”

"Take it over!"

"Considering that the situation at your scene is very critical, we have mobilized a special rescue force..."

Reports continued one after another, and the tense atmosphere was no less intense than at the rescue scene in the tunnel. Everyone in the headquarters tent was busy in front of the computer.

The person in charge was looking at the model calculation on the projection screen, forming an angle with the tunnel exit.

Once that landslide comes down, the tunnel exit will be blocked, and the tunnel itself will also suffer unpredictable impacts.

By then, both human lives and the tunnel will be completely buried!

Costing 120 billion and being 7.6 kilometers long, they have been digging this tunnel for eight years and it will be completed in another year.

One day ago, his state-owned enterprise leaders in the capital had given him a death order.

People must be protected, and so must the tunnels!

So their only way now is to get there before the landslide breaks out.

Blow it up!

"The latest news! The construction team has found the target and the placement of high explosives has been 90% completed!"

"Received contact from the third team on the mountain! Heavy rain caused the mountain road to collapse and they were unable to reach the location where the explosives were placed. They requested helicopter support!"

Using directional blasting, through precise position, depth, angle, and time sequence, we can control the timing of each explosion point within a few milliseconds to guide landslides to a safe direction.

Firefighters and rescue experts arrived at the scene 24 hours ago, surveying and mapping personnel were constantly analyzing geological data, and blasting engineers completed the blasting plan as quickly as possible.

And outside the headquarters tent full of busy professionals,

In the dark night of heavy rain, workers wearing hard hats carried the last batch of explosives, and firefighters in orange uniforms ran to the car with ropes on their backs.

On the winding road up the mountain, the bright car lights connected into a giant snake in the darkness.

When the light beams of several helicopters hovering high in the sky illuminated the outline of the mountain,

A military helicopter is speeding towards here!

And as the last time passed in great tension,

Beijing, National Disaster Relief Command Center,

"After receiving satellite data, the landslide began to move and has moved 180 mm towards the tunnel entrance. It is expected to completely leave the slide bed in the next hour!"

"The volume of the landslide exceeds 15 million cubic meters, and its weight is estimated to be 20 million tons!"

The entire wall is a large surveillance hall with screens. Many figures are wearing headsets and waiting at their seats. Everyone's heart strings are tense when they hear the monitor's report.

On the central podium, senior official leaders asked in a deep voice:

"Where are the preparations for directional blasting?"

"I just received news from the scene that the placement of high explosives has been completed and the blasting can be started at any time!"

"Tell them to get ready to start immediately!"

Then the moment this order was issued, the liaison staff immediately notified the scene. When this order was received,

In the tent of the frontline headquarters, the person in charge of the project shouted with sweat in his hands:
To be continued...
