The pioneer of the times of the seventh geological brigade in Zhejiang Province

At 7 o'clock in the morning, in Suichang County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, the morning light was dim and there were few pedestrians. The team members from Zhejiang Geological team 7 drove to Xucun Mining Area together, crossed the continuous Panshan Highway, and finally arrived at their destination around 9 am. They were greeted by a team leader Chen Shengli. In front of him, he was thin and dark, wearing a pair of glasses, and was observing the core sampling of the chassis on the ground. "What we mainly do is the general survey of lead-zinc mines. You see, this black part is lead-zinc mine. " He picked up a sample and pointed to some black parts of the rock and told reporters.

Follow Chen Shengli to climb the mountain and see the trench exploration point of the first team. The so-called road is just a narrow path trodden by bamboo forests in the mountains, and some places even need hands and feet and land to climb it. Just after walking for a while, the reporter was panting, while Chen Sheng stood on the ground breathing as usual. During a short break, he told reporters that because most of the mountains here are bamboo forests, there are no weeds and shrubs in the middle, which is a relatively relaxed mountain road.

Now, although the conditions are relatively better, compared with other industries, geological work is still a "bitter in the bitter". Climbing mountains over mountains is a common occurrence. You should pay attention to the surrounding surface rocks along the way. You should knock down rocks from time to time to take samples, observe them and put them in a bag. Sometimes, you have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads a day and carry dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of samples. But even so, it still can't stop the ideals and beliefs of geological team members. Zheng Gang, a young man from the Seventh Brigade, whose father runs a factory, has excellent family conditions. However, he repeatedly refused his parents' requests to let him go home, and he took root here and on this mountain in Lishui.

In addition to the hardships of working in the fields and mental suffering-neglect of family members, loneliness and loneliness in the mountains, these men still have unspeakable sufferings in their hearts.

The third child in the movie "Hawthorn Tree Love" is a geologist, and his love has made many viewers feel sad. In real life, geological team members run around the mountains all the year round, and falling in love is a real "luxury" for them. Even if you get married, you can only go home once every few months. Before the development of communication, team members usually kept in touch with their families through letters. However, geological team members often move between many mountainous areas, and a letter is often chased by team members, which takes several months to catch up and a large number of letters are returned. The players are homesick. They often want to cry.

Perennial field work makes geological team members "henpecked". Chen Qiqiang, captain of the seventh geological brigade, told reporters that geological team members are afraid of their wives. Why are you afraid? Because I feel guilty about neglecting my family. There is an old saying in the geological team that "women should not marry geological lang, but keep their rooms all year round." Therefore, the team members are obedient to their wives, and every time they can go home, they also take time out to do more housework to make up for their debts to their wives who are not at home at ordinary times.

To say what geologists are most afraid of, the answer is that there is nothing they can do when their families need to take care of them. Old captain Shen Tinghuai, when his wife gave birth to a child, seven or eight employees carried his wife out of the mining area in the rain and walked 10 miles to the hospital, only to save the lives of his mother and daughter, but he himself stuck to his post because of work needs.

For children, this sense of guilt is even heavier. Chen Qiqiang bluntly said that few children of geological team members can be admitted to a good university. Because these children had to live a wandering life with their father at a very young age, many children had to change to four or five schools when they were in primary school.

The geologist also owes a lot to his parents. At that time, Chen Shengli's mother-in-law was critically ill and his child was only two years old. The wife goes to work during the day, takes care of the children at night and takes care of her mother in bed. In desperation, his wife called him several times to hurry home. At first, he agreed. However, at that time, the exploration construction entered a critical moment and needed his on-site guidance. In the dilemma between work and family, he secretly decided to go back as soon as the construction was over. But in the end, he and the old man didn't see each other for the last time, and regret and guilt still bothered him.

Despite their hardships, no matter who they ask, these people always say one thing: they are proud of their dedication to the geological cause, their hard work and their contribution to prospecting. It is this "three honors" spirit that supports the selfless dedication of geological team members in the mountains.

In the spirit of "three glories", the Seventh Brigade has made remarkable achievements in more than half a century: they have successively completed nearly 300,000 meters of drilling construction and excavated more than 20,000 meters of exploration tunnels in the mountainous area of southwest Zhejiang10.4 million square kilometers; Determine and submit 13 geological reports of large deposits and more than 20 medium-sized mineral geological reports. There are 57 kinds of proven minerals, including 26 kinds of proven reserves, with potential economic value exceeding 80 billion yuan. More than 30 tons of gold, 654.38+0,000 tons of silver, 654.38+0.4 million tons of copper, lead and zinc, 20,000 tons of molybdenum, 6.5438+0.7 million tons of fluorite (mineral resources), 5 million tons of kaolin and 5 million tons of porcelain clay were submitted to the state. ...

However, authoritative departments have statistics on the difficulty of prospecting: it takes an average of 65,438+09 years to find a large deposit, and the probability of finding a large deposit in every 65,438+000 prospecting projects is less than 65,438+0%. Some geologists have never found a mine all their lives. But for their own beliefs, they still fought in the mountains all the year round without regrets, that is, in this long-term persistence, geological team members learned to find pleasure in suffering.

Chen Weiliang, director of the Party Committee Office of the Seventh Brigade, talked about the fun in the mine and gushed: "Others will be scared to death when they meet snakes in the mountains, but geologists are very happy when they see snakes. Why? Catch it back is a good meal! " He told reporters that he didn't drink or smoke before he graduated from school. However, when I arrived at the geological team, I had nothing to do during the day and at night, and the mountains were wet, so I drank to keep warm. After a few years, I became a drinker.

In addition to the game in the mountains, clear streams in the mountains, wild fresh fruits, watching white clouds floating over the hills and flowers blooming ... these are all landscapes belonging to geological team members. Wang Kuandi, an old team member, told reporters that in fact, geological team members can have a lot of "happiness" in a day: they can have breakfast happily in the morning, drink water happily when they are thirsty when they are working on the mountain, have a rest after lunch at noon, collect samples happily when they are working, and go down the mountain after work ... "Of course, the greatest happiness is to find a mine." Wang Kuan told reporters with a smile.
