Chapter 455: Rescue

The situation in the disaster area is far more serious than Chen Xin initially

expected.

The earthquake caused many refuges to collapse and damage. Electricity, water

supply, and heating were all interrupted. The city was full of buildings and

snow avalanches. The survivors were either hiding in the ruins of the refuge

and lingering, or Escaped the refuge but was frozen in the cold wind because

of the cold.

Like Li Xi, who can persist until the rescue arrives, there are not a single

people who are lucky enough to be rescued.

The situation here is undoubtedly much worse than when it was near the market.

The city was just buried by snow, the city's heating and power supply were not

interrupted, and the medical system that collapsed was just because it carried

too many patients.

However, the city’s power supply network has been paralyzed. Although the

power plant is only slightly damaged, and the local city government is

organizing emergency repairs, the power supply line is interrupted due to the

earthquake. Even if the power plant is repaired, the power supply cannot be

restored.

Although each refuge has an isotope temperature difference battery that can

supply power independently, the damage of the refuge itself has caused most of

the refuges to lose the ability to supply power and heat.

The survivors can only hide in the ruins that have not completely collapsed,

and use all possible means to maintain their body temperature, and strive not

to freeze to death before the rescue arrives.

But this is still hopeless.

A large number of survivors were buried under the collapsed ruins of the

refuge, and the abandoned buildings outside the refuge were also collapsing,

and the collapsed abandoned buildings buried the entrance of the refuge. If

there is no external rescue, these refuges It is likely to become a ready-made

grave.

And time is running out. Under the low temperature of tens of degrees below

zero, lack of food and heating, these people will not last long.

However, the rescue team brought by the eight arks was limited. Without heavy

machinery, it would be difficult to dig up these collapsed buildings.

How to quickly and effectively rescue the survivors buried under the rubble

has become the primary problem facing the rescue team.

The local city government has made contact with the rescue team, and part of

the manpower that can be organized is also cooperating with the rescue team in

search and rescue, but it still feels like a drop in the bucket.

In the temporary rescue point, the local deputy mayor is nervously discussing

with Chen Xin and others how to carry out rescue operations.

"The city government also has a batch of construction machinery that can be

used in rescue operations." The deputy mayor's face was grim, and while

talking to Chen Xin and others about the rescue forces the city government

could bring out, he also said worriedly: " But the key is the shortage of

manpower. Your rescue team has 800 people. At present, the city government can

organize more than 1,000 people, and 2,000 people are not enough!"

The leader of the rescue team also nodded in agreement with this question,

frowned and said: "There are too many refuges that collapsed. Even if there

are exoskeletons that can exert the power of several people by one person,

there is no way to dig it out in a short time. So many collapsed shelters!

There must be more manpower or more powerful means to dig these shelters!"

"Before we set off, the country was already organizing follow-up rescue

forces. The Air Force will have transport aircraft carrying paratroopers to

assist. I asked the captain of the Chenlong to contact the rear. They should

be before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Arrived." Chen Xin shared the

information he knew to others, and while speaking, he glanced at his watch:

"It's 2 o'clock in the morning, and there are four hours left."

"Then let's try our best to carry out rescue work. In such a cold day and the

earthquake has occurred for so long, many people may not be able to hold on!"

As a local official, the deputy mayor knows that the earthquake has occurred

for so long, even if Some people survived at first, but they won’t last long

in such cold weather.

The present is different from the past. In the past, the temperature was not

so low. The survivors can hold on for a long time even without eating or

drinking. However, in a low temperature environment of tens of degrees below

zero, it is likely that people will be gone for a few hours.

So now we must race against time to launch rescue.

"First put all the construction machinery into the rescue work, and clean up

an airborne field as much as possible, and make preparations for the

airborne." The team leader put forward the most feasible suggestion he can

think of under the current situation.

Chen Xin had no objection to this, and nodded and added: "The rescue team we

brought is equipped with exoskeletons, so they can be divided into several

teams, first go to the collapsed shelter to conduct a situation investigation

and open up the rescue channel.

Even if people cannot be rescued, the news of someone coming to rescue them

must be passed in, and the necessary food and water will be fed into the

collapsed shelter to give hope to the survivors!

In addition, the tents we brought should be set up as soon as possible, and

the survivors who have been rescued should be placed as far as possible! "

"Then I will arrange the resettlement work, and Vice Mayor Zhao, you will

organize the rescue work!" After hearing Chen Xin's words, the rescue team

leader made the arrangements without any nonsense.

"Okay, leave it to me for the rescue!" The deputy mayor happily agreed, and

said to Chen Xin: "Academician Chen is the one who asks for help from the

superior!"

Of course, Chen Xin would not refuse, and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I

will contact the higher-level department to obtain more materials and

manpower."

After discussing the division of labor, everyone did not waste time, so they

started their actions separately.

But out of the meeting tent, UU read www.uukanshu. com Chen Xin looked at the

busy rescue point outside and the ark hovering above his head. After thinking

about it for a while, he suddenly said to the team leader: "Classify the

survivors. If they are in better condition, they will also come to help rescue

after a short rest. People, even if they can’t help dig them out, they can

also help set up new survivors at rescue points.

As for the survivors in more serious conditions, letting a small airship send

them to the Ark, the above conditions are better, and it is also conducive to

the recovery of these survivors. Let them stay here at the rescue point, not

only occupying the place, their mental state also affects other survivors in

the rescue point. "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements, Academician Chen, please contact your

superiors!" After hearing Chen Xin's suggestion, the team leader also thinks

this is a good plan.

The Ark has now unloaded most of the supplies, and the internal space has been

emptied. It is indeed possible to place some survivors in serious conditions

on it.

If the Ark needs to transfer supplies, these survivors can also be sent to the

rear for treatment, and it will not affect the use of the Ark.

After Chen Xin finished making suggestions, he also boarded a small airship

and returned to the Chenlong Ark, intending to borrow the Ark's communication

equipment and ask about follow-up support.
