Great Power Technology

Chapter 66 Unexpected Help

At 8 am on August 7, the construction site of the No. 3 temporary road in Miyagi.

"Hurry up, everyone, work harder! Pay attention to the excavator around you, and don't stand within the scope of the excavator's construction interface!"

"We still have 3 hours to complete the roadbed construction before the first layer of asphalt dries out!"

"Continue to work if you can still do it, get down and rest if you have no strength, get out of the working surface, don't show off your power! Showing off your power will affect the overall efficiency!"

The man with the loudspeaker is the on-site project manager of this temporary road project. His name is He Su. Although he does not directly participate in manual labor, he has been running around in various sections of the entire road to command and dispatch since the start of construction. At this time, his voice is completely hoarse. , Physical strength is almost overdrawn to the limit.

"I know, I know! Old He, what's wrong with your voice, don't talk about us, just take a break!"

One of the people who was working raised his head and said that although it was only a short day, almost everyone on the construction site knew this man named Lao He.

"Leave me alone, you see that your hands are shaking, come down quickly! It's time to change!"

"Who do you want to change? It's just been changed, and it's been less than two hours. Let the young people rest for a while!"

He Su opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Under the construction that lasted nearly 20 hours, almost all the hands originally mobilized were overloaded with work, and some even worked for more than ten hours in a row, approaching the limit of physical exhaustion.

They desperately need rest, but they cannot rest.

This temporarily built road itself has not undergone perfect preliminary exploration work, and the difficulty of expansion of each road section has not been well evaluated. In addition, the location of Miyagi Prefecture is a typical karst landform, with many rocks and gravel in the soil. It is very difficult to build.

This has also led to manpower consumption far exceeding the original estimate. The work that could have been completed in their plan with only two rotations has now been delayed to the fourth rotation.

He stood under the spotlight, frowning and looking at the list of various construction teams recorded on the pad in his hand. Each of these teams has 40 people, and each two teams are responsible for the construction of a road section close to 150 meters. The overall construction area is close to 900 square meters. m, their work includes but is not limited to felling trees, moving stones, backfilling depressions, draining water, and moving materials. Each of them is heavy physical labor.

Now almost all the teams are given red tags behind them, and each red tag means that they have exceeded their original working hours by more than 4 hours.

4 hours doesn't sound like much, but anyone who has really done heavy physical labor knows what it means.

What's more, the members of these groups are not even professional workers, and their physical strength has long been weakened by years of clerical work.

But no one flinched.

He Su sighed, and turned several pages before finding out a few teams with yellow tags on them. After seeing the numbers on them, he got in the car and rushed to their working section for dispatch.

As soon as he got off the car at the place, a woman greeted him. Lao He knew this woman named Wanwan. When the construction started, he used a pickup truck to distribute a truckload of supplies to the site for free. He even took She has several bottles of water.

"He Gong, drink some water. I just came over for a midnight snack. There are noodles and porridge. Would you like some?"

"Thank you, I won't eat for now. Where's your husband? Has he come down to rest yet? Their 114 group has seriously exceeded the time limit. I asked them to rotate just now. Why don't they change?"

"No, no, their team has been rotated, but a few people can't do it anymore, so he took a few people to the top."

He Su frowned. He unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, then sternly shouted in the direction of the construction:

"Where is the leader of group 114? Come here right away! How do you manage your personnel?? Replace all the people who should rest!"

As soon as the words were finished, a man dropped the tools in his hand and ran over, took out a crumpled cigarette case from his trousers pocket, smiled and took out the cigarette and handed it to He Su.

"Old He, don't talk nonsense here, do you think there are still people now? I can do as much as I can, and the time is coming soon. We can't finish the roadbed, and the whole road will be affected by then. Influence, I don't want to lose this person."

"This is not something to be ashamed of! You are not professional workers in the first place, and you will have problems if you continue to do this!"

"There are counts, there are counts! Don't worry, Lao He."

While talking, the man lit He Su up, He Su took a puff of cigarette and sighed deeply.

"Then you should pay attention to your health. I really can't help it. I'll make a report to the higher-ups later to see if we can extend the construction period a little bit."

This is the only way. People do have subjective initiative, but subjective initiative cannot solve all problems.

If it is true that these people suffer irreversible physical damage due to overwork, no one can afford this responsibility.

He walked back to the special patrol car, and the woman standing on the plate had already handed him a bowl of noodles in a paper bowl.

"He Gong, take a bite, you haven't eaten for a long time."

"Okay, I'll eat later."

As He Su spoke, he stepped onto the back of the pickup truck. Just as he put down the powder in his hand, when he raised his head again, he suddenly saw dots of lights flickering at the end of the road.

It's the lights of the vehicle.

Judging from the number, it seems that there are no less than 10 vehicles.

He Su looked in that direction suspiciously, took out the walkie-talkie and started calling the guards on the periphery.

This area for road construction was originally located on the edge of a town in the county. There were no residents around, and the road had been temporarily closed. No one should come from that direction.

"Report from the sentry, I saw someone coming this way, stop them, and ask what they are here for!"

A moment later, a reply came from the sentry on the intercom.

"He Gong, they have already come to us. They are villagers from the nearby village. They heard that the road is being built here, and they want to come to help."

"Tell them to go back. The project has a confidentiality principle, and they cannot be allowed to participate casually."

Now He Su is indeed continuing to replenish manpower, but this does not mean that he can just recruit people from nearby towns. If that is the case, there will be no shortage of people for this project from the very beginning.

The intercom made a mixed noise, and after a while, the voice of the sentry on the opposite side rang again.

"He Gong, these people have special identities, I can't persuade you, why don't you come over here."

He Su patted the roof of the car, the driver turned his head steadily, and drove towards the distant light.

A few minutes later, He Su saw the figures of those people crowded in front of the sentry post.

At this moment, I understood what the sentry meant by "special status".

They were old and young, and their clothes suggested that they came from different social classes, and some even wore suits that they hadn't taken off in time.

However, these people have one thing in common.

They all had a small red badge pinned to their chests.
