Chapter 354

Half an hour ago, Team 126, drilling and oil production plant.

The oil workers went to work as usual.

In front of them was a drilling platform that was more than ten meters high and looked like Optimus Prime.

The Shengli Oilfield where Yingcheng is located came into being on a saline-alkali land.

At first, the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and uninhabited, like a deserted land.

It was tens of thousands of oil workers who responded to the call and took care of their families.

They came from all over the world and gradually took root in the youngest land of the Republic, making silent contributions.

Relying on their iron will, they can conquer mountains and ridges, open up wasteland for exploration, bury wires for drilling, and perform geological survey and transportation.

This has resulted in an annual production of tens of millions of tons of oil and hundreds of millions of cubic meters of natural gas, supplying fuel reserves, production and transportation throughout the region.

It is the guarantee of national destiny and a symbol of prosperity.

"Daqing, I can finally go home today. What delicious food are you going to make for your Xiaoxiao tonight?"

Liu Daqing, wearing a steel hat and holding a shovel in his hand, his face covered in black engine oil, grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Of course it's my best fried pork with chili pepper."

"As you know, that child Xiaoxiao has been able to eat it since she was a child, and she also loves spicy food. When I get off work later, I will go to the vegetable market to buy good things and go home to cook for the child."

At the mention of his daughter, Liu Daqing's fatigue from the day was instantly wiped away.

Seeing his aunty smile, the other workers felt envious.

"This kid Xiaoxiao is really promising. He is a college student and is studying medicine. He has a bright future."

"And you look just like her mother when she was young. Daqing, you are really lucky. You are the envy of us brothers."

"Tell me, when can we drink Xiaoxiao's wedding wine? Then I will bring over the good wine I have collected at home to celebrate for you."

The workers were just like before, chatting and joking after work, and laughing heartily from time to time.

At this time, a young man from underground ran over and shouted loudly.

"Master Liu, your Xiaoxiao's phone number."

"I know, let's get down here."

When Liu Daqing heard that it was his precious daughter's call, he immediately went down the well to answer the call without bothering to chat with them.

Seeing the happiness on his face made other people envious, especially when they thought of their careless brat, they could only sigh.

I kept reminding myself in my heart, raise a son to protect you from old age, raise a child to protect you from old age. As long as you don't get angry to death, your son is still your best...

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, what's the matter? Are you calling at this hour?"

"Did you miss your dad's cooking? Don't worry, I'll go back and give it to you tonight."

Liu Daqing's hearty voice came to the phone, making Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes turn a little red again.

Today she was scolded by the head of the department again. This was the first time she had been scolded this month.

I originally wanted to vent my emotions to my dad, but I was afraid that he would worry.

I could only wipe my tears and said coquettishly: "Dad, I want to eat fried pork with chili pepper."

"Haha, I know what you want to eat. No problem. Just wait for me when I get home tonight."

The hearty laughter came, which warmed Liu Xiaoxiao's heart and turned tears into laughter.

"good."

Just when Liu Daqing was about to ask his daughter how she was doing in the hospital recently, the young man from down the well ran over again.

"Master Liu, there is something wrong with the pressure underground. Mr. Wang wants you to hurry over and take a look at the situation."

Through the phone, Liu Xiaoxiao also heard the young man's anxious voice.

He said quickly.

"Dad, you get busy first."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get home."

Liu Daqing also knows that once the well pressure becomes unstable, the drilling platform will also encounter problems.

Just when he was about to hang up the phone, he heard a high-pitched and harsh whistling sound coming from not far away.

It's like the sound of a boiling pressure cooker releasing pressure.

Then, a black rain poured out and fell overwhelmingly.

Thick and pungent smell.

The alarm sounds.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the young man stared blankly at the apocalyptic scene outside, frightened and at a loss.

Some people are shouting loudly, and some people are stepping forward to make repairs...

"It's broken, it's blowing out!"

Liu Daqing had been working for many years, and he knew what was happening in just a moment.

He didn't care what to say to Liu Xiaoxiao, hung up the phone and rushed out.

As an accident in oil drilling, blowout is the most taboo thing for every oil worker.

Just like when fishermen go out to sea, they are taboo about capsizing their boats.

This is because the formation pressure suddenly rises and the mud density is unevenly distributed, causing the formation fluid to erupt uncontrollably from the wellbore to the ground.

It is often accompanied by oil and natural gas spills. Once an open flame is encountered, it will be a catastrophic accident.

"Close the valve and prepare to kill the well."

"Turn off the power, stop all open fires, send people to the well site, and prohibit vehicles from entering!"

The oil outside the house covered the sky and the sun, and it was terrifyingly gloomy. As soon as Liu Daqing came out, oil spots were already covering his body.

The brothers on the platform were all covered in oil, and it was so dark that they couldn't tell the front, back, left, and right.

Everyone was doing their best to suppress the well, and the jet of fluid shot straight into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten meters.

"Daqing, the pressure is too high, I can't hold it down!"

"I'll do it!"

One more second of blowout means one more second of danger.

Toxic substances released into the air can also cause further harm to the human body.

In order to prevent the surface fluid from continuing to blow out, Liu Daqing once again organized people to bring enough heavy mud and prepare to drive it into the well pipe at one time.

But at this time, the sand and gravel that no one noticed gushed out along the pipe well, and under high pressure, it hit the steel derrick like a bullet.

The sporadic sparks that emerged, at the moment of contact with the ground covered with natural gas and oil, the flames suddenly appeared, surging like a fire snake, and after encountering more gas, it directly exploded.

For a time, the flames rushed to the sky, and like a beast, they instantly devoured the few people on the stage who were suppressing the well.

"Lao Zhou, Lao Wu!"

Liu Daqing's eyes were bloodshot, and in the sea of ​​fire, several people screamed, and then fell from the stage one after another, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Without several people suppressing the well, the surface fluid was spraying unscrupulously, and the drilling platform was a sea of ​​fire, like a grinning devil, despising life.

The people who were preparing to go up to suppress the well were suffocated to the point of being unable to breathe in the face of the scorching heat wave, and no one dared to step forward for a while.

While hesitating, a decisive voice sounded.

"Give me the mud pipe!"

Liu Daqing's eyes were red. He didn't care to check the injuries of his brothers. He quickly changed into fireproof clothes. All he could see was the pipe that was blowing out.

He knew that if the blowout was not stopped, the natural gas in the well would explode and leak.

Not only would no one be able to leave, but the air within a radius of more than ten miles would be polluted by toxic gases.

By then, the homes that the residents around them had worked hard to build would be destroyed.

Just like their fathers, they suffered the most difficult hardships and did the most difficult things for the greatest cause, which saved them from war and gave them the opportunity to build their homes.

Now, it is their turn to fight and break through without hesitation for the construction of their homes and to save their younger generations from the same hardships.

"Daqing, let's go together!"

"Without us, you can't do this alone."

One after another, the strong men picked up the buckets filled with heavy sand on the ground, facing the fire in front of them, with a firm look under the black brim of their hats.

At this moment, even if it was a sea of ​​fire, it gave people a sense of invincibility.

"I'm going too!"

The young man who had just arrived was also infected by this spirit. Just when he was about to change clothes and take the bucket to join in, the bucket was snatched away by Liu Daqing.

"Stay aside, with a few of us big brothers here, it's not your turn to risk your life."

"Master Liu!"

Looking at the people rushing into the sea of ​​fire and continuing to rescue, the young man stood in place, with crystal eyes emitting tears, which were evaporated and dried in the hot air.
