Before we graduated, we signed a contract with a Xinjiang company in a daze. It is said that the contract is worth 200,000 yuan. At that time, we didn’t know what 200,000 yuan meant, so we used a contract to put an end to our studies.

In order to make all of us students and children competent for the position, the company commissioned a power plant in Urumqi for us to study.

So, the bus carrying us through the thick fog, which had never seen such a big fog before. The bus put us at the gate of the power plant and we got off.

I looked at the tall chimney in front of me, and felt a little disappointed. In addition, the weather was cold and I was already homesick. I had already come here without turning back. Since I came, I would be at ease.

The previous half month in the military camp, I had a lot of training in my will. At least I felt the atmosphere of the military camp, and made up for the regret that I had always wanted to join the army but did not take it as a result.

The next day, we gathered in the conference room of the power plant company. A person from the Safety Department gave us safety education. He seriously told us many accident cases. Behind each case were the terrifying numbers of safety accidents and casualties.

He also showed us a safety education video, which included shocking work accidents in the power industry. One after another, one after another, one after another, one after another. We looked extremely quiet when we watched it, and everyone was scared by the accident cases.

At that time, I was already a little doubtful whether my decision was right. Does such a dangerous industry still have the courage to continue to challenge?

After the safety education was over, some people resolutely chose to leave. I thought about it and felt that it was a bit regretful to leave like this, so I firmly wanted to stay.

The two classmates in the class were worried that they would escape secretly and left the power plant without us knowing it and boarded the train home. At that time, I felt a little despised them. This was not going to the front line, but a safety education scared them away.

I was assigned to the instrument class, and there were four students who entered the instrument class. One was my fellow villager, one was my classmate, and the other was a local student.

On the first day we were assigned to the class, we didn't know what to do, so we sat foolishly on the chair in the class and watched the masters in the class busy. When we were bored, we took out our mobile phones to play, worried that playing with our mobile phones would affect our image, so we just played secretly for a while and put them in our pockets.

The security officer found a test paper for each of us, and he casually said to us: "This is the answer. You can copy it according to the answer. You can't get the full mark. After the answer, memorize the content and I'll check it at any time!"

Later, he didn't check it out. He just asked: "Have you memorized it?" We smiled and replied: "I basically memorized it!"

He smiled and didn't say anything again.

Then the squad leader arranged a master for each of us. My master was the youngest Master Chen in the class.

I walked to Master Chen’s desk and asked, “Master!”

He put down his iPhone and smiled politely at me. He said, "Don't call me master, just call me Brother Chen! Learn together!"

I said, "How can that work? It's better to call the master!"

He said, "Okay! You can call the master!"

From then on, my power plant study and life began.

Every morning, the squad leader held a pre-season meeting for us. I carried the master's maintenance tools and followed the master's pace to the equipment site.

I prepared a lot of questions, but I was embarrassed to ask them all one by one. The master said to me: "If you have any questions, ask me, and I will tell you what I know! Don't be embarrassed."

Although the master is young, he has good skills and knows a lot. I feel very proud to be able to learn from him.

Once we received an inspection task and went to the oil depot for maintenance. He found me a cotton coat. We both wore cotton coats and cotton safety helmets, walking slowly in a world of black and white.

He pointed to several oil tanks and said to me: "Look, those tanks, there was an accident in March last year. Several workers exploded while welding, and they all died!"

I asked in surprise: "Is the person on duty dead?"

The master replied: "Everything is dead!"

Before entering the oil depot, he turned around and said with a serious expression: "Switch off your phone!"

I asked, "Master, do you have to turn off the phone?"

He nodded and said to me, "There are regulations here, and the phone must be turned off!"

What we are going to inspect is the camera opposite the oil depot. I stood on the roof and looked at the oil tanks opposite. I imagined the explosion scene at that time. In a sea of ​​fire, thick smoke was emitting, and several struggling people were running in the sea of ​​fire.

"Xiaoma, pack up the tools and finish the work!" said the master behind me. After packing up the tools, the master ran to the white snow on the roof. He lay on the snow, closed his eyes, as if enjoying this kind of comfort.

The master opened his eyes and called me: "Xiao Ma, put down the tools first, lie down in the snow. Embrace nature!"

I ran over, threw down my tool kit, and lay next to him.

I shouted intoxicatedly: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

While lying in the snow, I remembered the accident that happened here not long ago. I instantly felt awe of everything here. I asked the master: "Master, do you say that this place will not explode well, right?"

He still closed his eyes and replied, "Don't worry! As long as you don't fire, you can't explode!"

I said, "What a tragedy! Don't they know that welding on oil tanks will explode? How do the people on duty monitor? They don't know?"

The master smiled contemptuously, and after a while, he said to me: "The problem is here. I know it will explode, but I still went to do it, and then it exploded!"

After we stood up, we admired the traces left after lying down, and smiled at each other.
