Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Barry was an employee of the power supply company and had accumulated significant experience at his relatively young age.

For him, this job was considered a secure and stable source of income.

However, he was an honest individual who did not resort to questionable means. He had been transferred to the big city for career development, but little did he know that life would become even more challenging in the urban setting. Despite the salary increase, the cost of living soared. To support his family, Barry had to take up additional work.

“I don’t possess any specialized skills. I’ve always relied on working harder and waiting for an opportunity. I’m willing to do anything,” Barry expressed.

“After a harsh winter, the wires and dampers between the transmission towers required a thorough inspection. We were responsible for maintaining this particular line…”

In urban areas, high-voltage power transmission typically involved underground cables with insulation layers. However, in more remote regions, overhead lines supported by iron towers were commonly used.

According to mandatory standards, newly planned power lines above 35kV in urban areas should utilize underground cables, particularly in downtown areas and busy streets.

However, in Xigbar District, there was a designated “high-voltage line corridor,” and a section of the line passed through the city center where the incident occurred.

“We paid special attention to this line, and every maintenance team was vigilant to prevent any accidents…”

The collapse of a high-voltage line due to strong winds was a grave accident.

“When I arrived at the scene, I realized that no one was there. It dawned on me that everyone was unwilling to take responsibility for the accident. If I were the first to arrive, I had to shoulder the responsibility.”

Although the worker originally assigned to handle the maintenance that day held more accountability, Barry understood that if anything went wrong upon his arrival, it would be his responsibility.

“I was such a fool…” Barry covered his face and wept bitterly. “I didn’t know what I was thinking, using two boards…”

Addressing an emergency failure of a high-voltage line required a power outage operation. Upon reaching the scene, the fault point needed to be identified, and the power outage had to be completed within 20 minutes.
