There is a saying that goes: "There are no years of silence, but someone carries the weight for you." In order to ensure that the people are warm through the winter, there are still these people behind us who are silently paying for our supply - coal workers.
Since the entry of light snow, China has experienced a wide range of cold wave weather from northwest to southeast, has this round of cooling also had a certain impact on coal production and transportation?

CCTV News news on the 26th: In Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia, the temperature in these two days has dropped to minus 22 degrees Celsius, and the low temperature is undoubtedly a challenge for coal supply. In the zhani river open-pit mine at the northernmost point of the national energy, in order to do a good job in stabilizing production and supply, enterprises dare not slacken off in the slightest, and front-line workers are not afraid of the cold to stick to their posts to ensure the stable operation of all aspects of coal production.
The first link in the coal supply assurance work that cannot be ignored is the mining and stripping work, and the mining and stripping work is also the most important link in the production of open-pit coal mines. As an old worker in the front line of mining and stripping, 50-year-old Zhu Shiyou told us that severe cold and snowfall are the first "roadblocks" in coal supply.
Zhu Shiyou, captain of the Yanbao Energy Zhani River open-pit mining and stripping team of the National Energy Group, said: At present, the minimum temperature at night has reached more than minus 20 (Celsius), ultra-low temperatures, blizzards cause the coal seam to be hard and difficult to mine, and the shovel teeth of the electric shovel, the stick and other large components are often damaged, and once these large components are damaged and broken, they will cause safety hazards and affect production efficiency.
Zhu Shiyou and his colleagues arrived at work at 7 o'clock every morning, and the first thing was to carefully check whether the track frame had cracks and the lubrication of the electric shovel's walking parts, so as to find hidden dangers and repair them in time to ensure the normal and safe operation of production.
In the ice and snow, their lunch can only be solved on the mining equipment, the temperature of more than 20 degrees Celsius below zero, half of the meal is already cold. The harsh environment did not cut the pace of the workers to forge ahead, and they still stuck to the front-line posts and worked hard in the face of the cold.
Like Zhu Shiyou, they braved the cold to fight on the front line, and the workers of the transport team, at 2 o'clock in the morning is the most sleepy and most need to rest, the leader of the transport team Wang Yulin is also holding a walkie-talkie and staring closely at the raw coal transportation site to ensure the safety and order of the transport site.
Wang Yulin, captain of the National Energy Group Yanbao Energy Zhani River Open-pit Mine Transport Team, said: This time period at night is the coldest time, and it is also the time when drivers are most tired and sleepy. Therefore, in order to be safe, this period of time must make the driver pick up the spirit and ensure safety.
In order to better ensure the smooth flow of coal transportation roads, Wang Yulin and his team have also thought of many ways and taken a series of measures.
They fill some sand and water in the pits on the coal transport road, use the low temperature to freeze the sand and gravel, and then trim and flatten it to minimize the impact of the road on the transportation equipment and ensure the time and efficiency of the dump truck operation.
National Energy Group Yanbao Energy is mainly responsible for the winter coal supply work in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Mengdong regions, and as of November 24, it has produced 29.08 million tons of coal and sold 29 million tons of coal.
Finally, let us pay tribute to the workers who braved the cold to fight in the frontline!
