Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Ling Fengxi understood what they meant, but still hoped to make this natural village a real village. He was busy in the county for several days, submitted his report, and named the village, Batis Village, Bozidun Township, which means Tianshan Village, Bozidun Township.

This matter sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult. There are many objective and hidden problems. However, Ling Fengxi really wants to make this happen. In order to make the number of people in the natural village sufficient, he also reported the workers stationed in the camp to build the West Tianshan Super Tunnel.

Of course he knew it was a bit of a joke, but he also noted that these were workers.

The next thing is actually mainly to solve the practical problems of the herders who have a hard time surviving the winter. Ye Minglang has personally supervised the preparation of these relief supplies. At the same time, more working groups have been sent to the depths of the Western Tianshan Mountains to investigate the living conditions of more herders.

He was afraid that in such a winter, some herders would really die because life was too difficult.

While Lingfeng West was busy with these tasks, Wu Yongjie was also busy, even to the point of being overwhelmed. As mentioned earlier, the construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel encountered a new challenge: it had to pass through a long fracture, which was a huge test for the engineering team.

At this time, Wu Yongjie certainly didn't worry about why he didn't avoid this fault zone when he first planned the route. In fact, it was impossible to avoid it.

The geological conditions in the Western Tianshan Mountains are complex. Even if we do not choose the route starting from the 14th site, but choose another route, who can guarantee that there will be no bigger problems on that route?

After having dealt with problems several times before, he did not blame anyone this time, nor did he get anxious about it. Before he could come up with a solution, he let the workers stop working and rest, and took the opportunity to let the workers improve their mood and life. He even applied for salary payment a few days in advance.

When distributing wages, he spoke earnestly to the workers, "We're giving you the money a few days in advance because we're going to take a few days off. We've once again encountered a dangerous problem that needs to be solved. You can take the money and go to Wensu County to spend some money. You can buy some delicious food, get a haircut, take a nice bath, and sing some songs. We allow that, but you need to be divided into groups, and each group needs a responsible leader to lead you.

Our motto is to avoid trouble wherever we are, to maintain good character wherever we are, and to understand that we are the high-quality men of the West Tianshan Tunnel. We have people waiting for us at home, and we must not allow anything to happen here."

To put it bluntly, they wanted to let the workers go out and play, but were afraid of trouble, so they made things so complicated. But in fact, the workers were tired and cold during this period, and many of them wanted to take this opportunity to sleep for three days.

There were only a few people who signed up to respond to the call and go to the county.

Of the seven or eight hundred workers, only less than a hundred wanted to go down the mountain. Wu Yongjie, quick-thinking, assigned each team leader a task: "Ask those who can't go if they have anything they want to eat or use. Write it down in a notebook and bring it back. Now that it's snowing heavily, everyone down the mountain is preparing to hibernate, so let's do the same."

The workers were so moved by Wu Yongjie that they didn't know what to say. Some of them rushed over and hugged Wu Yongjie, saying, "Boss Wu, you're so kind! It's so great to follow you!"

"Ahhh..." The workers used Wu Yongjie like a face bag, passing him around several times before finally landing him. Wu Yongjie, however, glared fiercely, "Don't think that by getting close to me, I'll give you more benefits. That's impossible. I'm telling you all these things so that you don't cause me any trouble!"

"Remember, don't cause any trouble for me down the mountain!"

……

The workers had a break, but the managers who were involved in the construction could not rest. This included the key personnel from the technical department, engineering department and general department. Not only could they not rest, they also had to work overtime to find solutions to the problems.

One day, Li Jianguo was looking in the mirror while pulling his hair. He suddenly said, "I've had a lot more gray hair lately. I'm afraid that after the tunnel is built, I might have premature graying and a head full of silver hair."

Others also hurriedly looked at their hair, and one exclaimed, "I have gray hair too."

Some people looked nonchalant, "Can you please stop making such a fuss? It's just white hair..."

Someone else asked Li Jianguo, "Why do you have so much white hair in such a short time?"

Li Jianguo sighed, "Why? I'm worried. This Western Tianshan Mountain is always giving us problems."

Yan Zhuoyu was busy looking up information on his computer while contacting his classmates abroad. Overhearing their conversation, he interjected, "Our workers may need training. Tunneling through fault zones like this is dangerous. We can't proceed as we have before. Instead, we need to use full-face hard rock tunneling technology. We need to adjust the parameters of all the tunnel boring machines, reduce the excavation speed, and increase the frequency of shield pressure monitoring to ensure the stability of the tunnel face during excavation."

Li Jianguo nodded. "Yes, the more severe the fault zone, the higher the requirements for excavation technology. At the same time, it requires that the excavation be quick and efficient to reduce vibration in the surrounding areas."

But the thought of training the workers and getting them to adapt to the new parameters was a headache. The workers had been accustomed to the work for a long time, and it would be difficult to force them to change the strength and angles that had been established for a long time.

Even if some people know that they need to change, when they actually do it, they will still involuntarily use the old parameters and old actions.

Yan Zhuoyu suddenly added: "We may need to adopt reinforcement technology."

Now everyone's mood became even heavier.

This is equivalent to doing the same project twice. Because the reinforcement of the fault zone cannot be done in the same way as other places, it is necessary to first reinforce the stratum in front of the shield tunnel by pre-grouting.

That is, cement slurry or water glass double liquid slurry. It is also quite troublesome in terms of construction process. Before tunnel excavation, holes are drilled in the heading face or surrounding rock.

Drilling also requires considerable technical content. There is a high possibility of accidents when drilling in this kind of active fault zone. These boreholes are like channels, and the slurry is injected into the pores and cracks of the active fault zone in front under pressure through these holes.

The injection pressure also needs to be accurately measured and needs to be changed at any time depending on the specific situation. The same pressure cannot be used all the time. In other words, during construction, relevant technicians must be present to assist, and workers cannot operate blindly.

After injection, the slurry must solidify, solidifying the original active fault zone into an ultra-hard, solid entity, much like a pile of loose sand being held together with super glue. Not to mention the repetitive and cumbersome construction process, even the waiting time can be frustrating and frustrating.

After this loose sand solidifies, the full-section hard rock excavation technology mentioned by Yan Zhuoyu is used. After grouting, the original active fractured loose sand-like area becomes extremely hard again.

In fact, this job may not sound difficult at first glance, but it actually requires technical skills everywhere, and the technical skills are not low. It also requires high machinery, and it tests the tacit understanding and patience of technicians and workers. Think about it, it is obviously a project of digging a cave that sounds very rough, but now it is made like embroidery. Who can stand it?

Not to mention doing it, just thinking about it makes me tired.
