I'm going to be on the hot fiber optic cable break, and I will pay millions of compensation! Is it really that serious to dig up defense fiber optic cables? In fact, it's not just about paying compensation, but also going to jail!
Interruption of 1 minute will be compensated more than 4,000 yuan, and the loss of maintenance within 4 hours will directly exceed one million, which is summarized by someone on the Internet, the direct economic cost caused by the cutting of the national defense optical fiber cable.
Although the specific value is not necessarily accurate, there is no exaggeration at all, and the loss of money is small, and the key problem is that it will be sent to the police uncle to give a "silver bracelet".
Even if it is not done in bad faith, it will be sentenced to at least one and a half years in prison. So many times, the project boss receives the first time that the construction personnel dig up the optical cable, and even want to die.
It is very likely that when the excavator digs up the fiber optic cable and does not realize what is going on, it will be surrounded by the relevant personnel of the army within 10 minutes.
It has been controlled without even the parties calling the police themselves, and Brother Bing will take the initiative to help you contact the police, and the next procedures will naturally be well connected, those who should lose money lose money, and those who should go to jail will go to jail.
Some people must say they don't believe it, is it really such an exaggeration? In 2005, in Mentougou, Beijing, there was China's first case of national defense optical cable being cut off, which directly led to the interruption of communication on the line for 374 minutes, and the relevant responsible persons also compensated as much as 1.69 million losses.
More importantly, the person was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, and although it was negligently and inadvertently cut, it was still convicted in strict accordance with the crime of sabotaging military communications.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, if there is a warning sign of national defense optical cable near the construction site, it must be reported in advance, and take the initiative to contact the relevant departments of the army to supervise the construction.
Otherwise, if you dig through the barbaric excavation, it is very likely that what you are waiting for is to eat in prison. You must know that national defense fiber optic cables are generally buried in the ground1About 5 meters, it is very easy to dig underground construction with a little larger.
And it takes a lot of time to repair, depending on the difference between the trunk and branch lines, the repair time is four or five hours, and the short one is more than an hour.
In Qiongzhong County, Hainan Province in 2021, someone dug up the national defense fiber optic cable because of private excavation, and it took the troops 104 minutes to complete the repair, and the maintenance cost also reached 11More than 30,000 yuan, and finally the local court ruled that the parties had to compensate the troops accordingly.
It can be seen that the impact of the incident is not too big, and the emergency repair is also fast, otherwise the parties may not only lose money, I am afraid they will have to sit in prison!
Why is it so difficult to repair national defense fiber optic cables? The compensation is calculated by the second, is it really a huge loss or a deliberate more fine?
Once the national defense optical cable of the general trunk line is dug up, the loss is often millions of dollars, and the final compensation amount is also calculated according to the actual interruption time.
Therefore, some people wonder if the maintenance technician deliberately delayed the time to earn compensation during the repair.
In fact, the troops and maintenance personnel are more likely to be connected sooner than those who dig up the optical cables.
Compared with the fines that were recovered after the fact, the losses incurred by the troops due to the interruption of communications due to the digging of fiber optic cables sometimes cannot be measured in monetary terms.
You must know that in peacetime, national defense fiber optic cables are mainly used for the normal communication needs of the troops, and it seems that it is not a big deal if they are interrupted.
However, once in wartime or when encountering some major events, it will be used to transmit important military information and issue orders, so the consequences of cutting off will be very serious.
In 2019 in Datong, Shanxi, there was an excavator driver and another construction management man, ignoring the national defense optical cable sign to dig up a fiber optic cable, and finally after the emergency repair by technicians, it took 235 minutes to recover, and the maintenance cost alone reached 1670,000, and the loss of communication blocking caused by it is as high as 6.65 million.
However, in the end, the two were only sentenced to 180,000 yuan in compensation, but they were also sentenced to one year in prison for damaging military communications.
It can be seen that the troops did not want to make more money, but deliberately delayed the repair time, mainly because the fiber optic cable was too difficult to repair.
Repairing a fiber optic cable is not as simple as connecting a wire, but there are hundreds of fibers inside the cable.
Anyone who has cut a fiber optic network cable should know what it looks like, and each fiber is only as thick as a hair.
Moreover, the material is more easily broken than the general plastic, and the repair process needs to connect each optical fiber through fusing and corresponding to each other, so as to basically repair the cut optical cable, and it needs to be carried out on a professional fusion splicer, so such an operation is considered fast for several hours.
Therefore, the reason why the national defense optical cable is so serious is not how valuable the optical cable itself is, but the impact of communication interruption has a significant impact on national defense and military security.
Although there are more advanced means of communication, such as satellites, they are likely to be affected in wartime.
However, the national defense fiber optic cable buried in the ground, which transmits information directly through a separate line, is a safer and more important military communication facility, so everyone should pay more attention to protection when they see the corresponding signs.
