Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

After the accident, leaders at all levels actually asked questions to the technical department, but they tried their best to avoid blaming them because they knew that the basic geological conditions of Xitian Mountain were too complicated. Ye Minglang might be too young and was the first person to ask such a question in this accident. Their faces turned red.

Ye Minglang also immediately remembered the previous incidents... and the performance and attitude of the technical department staff. He immediately knew that he had said too much.

Luckily, Gulnar was there and interrupted them. "What's with that look on your face, you two? The leader can't say anything, but we can't say anything about it. While we know the project isn't easy, we can't use that as an excuse to ignore our own shortcomings. The leader doesn't blame you, and neither does anyone in Western Tianshan. But we're the only ones in this car right now, brothers. Can't we even speak the truth to each other?"

After being scolded by Gulinar with a stern face, Yan Zhuoyu and Li Jianguo's awkward expressions disappeared. Yan Zhuoyu raised his head and gently tapped Ye Minglang's shoulder, "Brother Ye, you asked a good question."

Ye Minglang said, "Brother Yan, I don't mean to be disrespectful. I know you are the soul of this project."

Li Jianguo said, "We have actually been reflecting on ourselves and looking for problems during this period. We actually surveyed this active fault zone a long time ago and issued a warning at least two weeks in advance. Secretary Ling and Captain Wu also made arrangements in advance and even implemented reinforcement grouting measures. However, we still couldn't completely avoid it. This is actually because we didn't do a good job and didn't come up with a better plan."

"No, it's not that you didn't do a good job. If you found out, but Secretary Ling and Captain Wu didn't know, and the workers didn't know either, then it would be considered that you didn't do a good job.

But everyone knows this problem and has faced it seriously, but something still went wrong. This means that this problem can only be solved to this extent. It is not a personal problem, but the problem posed by Xitianshan is too big and exceeds our ability to solve.

It’s just like us shepherds. We try our best to protect our sheep every winter, but there will always be some of our sheep that freeze to death or are eaten by wolves. We know that this will happen, but we have no way to completely avoid the consequences.

So, can we keep looking for who is responsible for the death of these sheep?

I think it's a good thing that everyone is working together to move forward. Holding people accountable is really not suitable for Xitianshan. Xitianshan is a place where as long as you survive, you are already responsible for yourself.

Ye Minglang, do you think I am right?"

Gulinar's words stunned everyone in the car, followed by warm applause.

Although she may have high emotional intelligence and her intention was to please the two technical backbones, don’t you think what she said makes a lot of sense?

And he explained everything that happened at once.

Yan Zhuoyu and Li Jianguo's minds suddenly became clear. Yan Zhuoyu said, "Gulinar, you are really a treasure. You are buried in the Western Tianshan Mountains. Brother Ye, I really envy you."

Li Jianguo knew that Yan Zhuoyu was really envious, but he didn't dare to say it.

A greater power burst out from Ye Minglang's heart. He must marry this treasure home, even if his parents disagree. He cannot let the tragedy that happened to Secretary Ling happen to him again.

……

Although Yan Zhuoyu and Li Jianguo found complete reasons to prove themselves "not guilty" in Gulinar's words, after returning to the camp, they still took the initiative to propose holding a "self-examination" meeting and wanted to reflect on themselves in public. In fact, Wu Yongjie felt that it was unnecessary.

Persuade them, "This is not anyone's responsibility, why are you doing this?"

Li Jianguo said, "Captain Wu, we know it in our hearts. You couldn't bear to blame us, and even arranged for us to relax at the foot of the mountain. We clearly didn't do our job well, but we were treated like heroes. We all understand your cherishment of talent. But because of this, we must admit our mistakes.

Although it seems that no one is responsible this time, in fact everyone is responsible. For example, after the accident that day, when we adjusted the mechanical parameters, we found that the parameters of the equipment were slightly high.

Also, even though we knew there was danger ahead, we didn't discover the problem with the face in time. This means that our survey was too rough and should be more detailed.

We suffered heavy losses in machinery. Many pieces of equipment were stacked not far from the face because we thought it was more convenient to use. But this is wrong because 'convenience' should not come before 'safety'."

Yan Zhuoyu also said, "Each of our teams still has a lot to reflect on this time. When facing a project like this, we need to be more careful."

After the two of them took turns, Wu Yongjie finally agreed to hold a self-reflection meeting for all West Tianshan project staff.

On the one hand, they had to hold a meeting, but on the other hand, they didn't want the workers to work too hard, which would have made things worse. So the meeting was held inside the cafeteria. Workers from several shifts squeezed into each table, and each table was piled with roasted melon seeds, fruit candies, and milk candies, and of course, milk tea.

Coincidentally, Hanati and his team delivered a batch of yogurt dumplings that day, and each table was given some.

Before the meeting, Wu Yongjie personally tasted this hard yogurt lump. The taste was a bit strange, but very mellow and sour. People who are not used to it just can't get used to it.

Wu Yongjie was struck by inspiration and said, "The construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel Project is just like these yogurt lumps. Everyone knows they're nutritious, but they just can't be eaten. Firstly, they taste strange, and secondly, they look ugly... It's exactly the same."

Many workers who heard it agreed and picked up the yogurt lumps to taste them. After taking a bite, they all looked strange and couldn't hold it in.

This thing is very hard, as if it wants to break people's teeth.

At the same time, it's hard to eat.

But if you don't spit it out and savor it slowly, you will feel its rich milky aroma. Very fragrant.

At the conference, everyone was indeed willing to "self-examine".

Not only did the team leaders stand up and talk about their own negligence in the project, but even ordinary team members and workers stood up and spoke to discuss the problem.

It can be said that the atmosphere was very warm and the response was very great.

One worker even raised a crucial question. He said, "Actually, as everyone knows, I'm in charge of grouting. I think the grouting process itself has an impact, right? The grouting machine uses pressure to inject the grout into the tunnel face. This is already an active fault zone. This pressure and impact actually have an impact on the active fault zone, right?"
