Chapter 462: Blasting mission

Under the fissure next to the placement point, several Titans are digging
grooves for supporting steel beams along one side of the fissure.
Because the surrounding building debris needs to be blasted, it must be
reinforced in order to avoid affecting the structural stability of the
location where the current resettlement site is located.
The reinforcement method is also very simple. It is to build a frame with
steel beams, fix the platform formed by snow where the settlement point is
located, and fill the frame made of steel beams with a mixture of crushed
bricks and snow. Fill it with water and freeze it completely.
In this way, the foundation of the resettlement site can be secured and become
firm and stable.
This is not a new idea, it is just the old wisdom that Prime Minister Cao used
to build a city with splashing water when he conquered Xiliang more than two
thousand years ago.
However, the rescue team here is still inferior to Prime Minister Cao’s
ability to draw water directly from the Weishui River. They can only melt the
collected snow before splashing it to the place where it is needed, and the
speed must be fast, otherwise the water will be splashed without waiting.
First, he froze into ice cubes at a low temperature of tens of degrees below
zero.
Relying on this method, Titan and the construction staff only need to dig out
the grooves for supporting the steel beams, and then insert the steel beams
in. It is not even necessary to use cement, because the ice frozen at low
temperature has enough The firmness is enough to freeze the steel beam in the
ice and snow.
Of course, just as Prime Minister Cao’s splashing water to build a city was
only a temporary emergency method, using this method of condensing water into
ice to freeze steel beams in ice can only be a temporary emergency method.
Although the weather will not melt snow and ice under the current conditions,
this is an earthquake-stricken area. If aftershocks or new earthquakes occur,
the ice may crack due to the shaking, so this can only be used temporarily
under special circumstances. Emergency means to save time and construction
materials.
Relying on this rapid construction method and the construction efficiency of
Titans far exceeding ordinary employees, a steel structure frame was quickly
built, and even the fillers filled into the frame have been landfilled during
the construction process, allowing placement The location of the point becomes
firm and stable.
After the foundation of the resettlement site is stabilized, the blasting work
of surrounding buildings is naturally arranged.
In fact, when Titan built the fixed frame, a construction team composed of
airborne troops ventured into the uncollapsed building wreck to bury
explosives for blasting.
This is a very dangerous job, not only because of the potential danger of the
job itself that needs to bury explosives, but also because they entered the
wreckage of the building that had been devastated by the Doren disaster but
never collapsed.
Although these building wrecks did not collapse due to various reasons, the
internal structure has long been unstable, and no one knows whether they will
directly collapse due to someone entering and installing explosives.
The collapse of the wreckage itself is not a problem, but there are people
inside when it collapses, but it is really dangerous.
Even if the paratroopers that enter it to perform tasks have exoskeleton as
protection, tens of thousands of tons of things on their heads can be smashed
down, and even Titans can smash them, let alone people.
Fortunately, these airborne soldiers had good luck. Although the work of
digging into the wreckage to confirm the structure and placing explosives was
like dancing on a steel wire, they still completed the task without danger and
prepared for the blasting.
"It seems that next time we still have to study some weapons. In such a
situation, just use artillery bombardment and let people go in and plant
bombs. It's always too dangerous." Standing on a high place, Chen Xin saw that
he entered the ruins of the building to be laid. The dynamite paratroopers
successfully withdrew, and he could not help but complain while reassuring.
"How can you demolish the house with a cannon?" Hearing Chen Xin's words, the
commander of the paratroopers on the side couldn't help but joked.
Just now I was worried about the soldiers who went in and planted explosives.
Now that I saw their success in the car, the commander was relieved a lot, at
least he was in the mood to make a joke.
Just saying that, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If there is a way
to prevent soldiers from risking their lives to complete the task, of course
it is best! The vocation of a soldier is to protect the people, but who is not
the parent of life? Raised? Watching these soldiers risk their lives to
perform missions, how can I not feel bad!"
"That's why in ancient times there was a saying that kindness does not control
the soldiers. There will always be people who need to sacrifice and pay." Chen
Xin also sighed.
During the war years, soldiers shed blood and sacrificed their lives to defend
their homeland. In peacetime, they also shed blood and sacrifices, making
silent dedication and dedication to defending the country and the people.
If it were the old Chen Xin, perhaps he would only be moved. There was no way
to do anything for these people, but now he can develop new equipment for
these soldiers.
Although this does not save the fighters from danger, it at least gives them
more protection in the face of danger.
With such thoughts in mind, Chen Xin said: "Looking back, I think about what
new equipment I can get. At least it can increase the survivability of the
soldiers in this situation."
Chen Xin thought of the heavy-duty power armor he was developing. This
equipment has excellent defensive capabilities in the face of dangerous
environments. It can not only withstand the impact of explosives, but also can
still be worn under the direct attack of small-caliber artillery. The survival
probability of the warrior is very suitable to be used to equip the soldiers
to deal with such dangerous tasks.
However, Chen Xin himself did not participate in the development of heavy
power armor. uukanshu.com just handed over several prototype power armors to
the research team and asked them to design improvements. There is not much
progress yet.
Now it seems that I might have to urge the research progress.
With such thoughts in mind, Chen Xin retreated to a safe place with the
commander. He was about to detonate, and it was very dangerous to stand too
far in front.
In order to save time as much as possible, several surrounding buildings were
blasted together, which not only increased the difficulty of blasting, but
also greatly increased the risk of blasting.
Therefore, everyone in the settlement is required to stay in a safe place as
much as possible, and cannot be onlookers. As for the monitoring of the
blasting, it is given to the Chenlong Ark in the sky.
"The countdown is five seconds, five, four, three, two, one! Detonation!" With
a countdown, there was a loud explosion of explosives. After a shock, a more
violent roar followed.
Chen Xin, staying in a safe bunker, clearly saw through the pre-installed
monitors that there was a burst of smoke from the wreckage of the surrounding
buildings, and then the whole began to collapse downwards, just as planned in
advance. A pile of collapsed ruins.
