Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 453: Rescue
The situation in the disaster area is far more serious than Chen Xin initially expected.
The earthquake caused many shelters to collapse and damage. Electricity, water supply, and heating were all cut off. Buildings collapsed and snow fell everywhere in the city. Survivors were not hiding in the ruins of shelters. To survive is to escape from the shelter but be frozen to death in the cold wind because of the cold.
Like Li Xi, who can persist until the rescue arrives, there are not a hundred people who are lucky enough to be rescued.
Compared to the time when I was in Linshi, the situation here is undoubtedly much worse.
Linshi was just buried under snow, the city's heating and power supply were not interrupted, and the collapsed medical system was simply because it was carrying too many patients.
But the city's power supply network has been paralyzed in front of me. Although the power plant is only slightly damaged, the local city government has organized emergency repairs, but the power supply line was interrupted due to the earthquake. Even if the power plant is repaired, the power supply cannot be restored.
Although each shelter has isotope thermoelectric batteries that can independently supply power, the damage to the shelter itself has caused most of the shelters to lose their power and heating capabilities.
The survivors can only hide in the ruins that have not completely collapsed, and use all possible means to maintain their body temperature, so as not to freeze to death before rescue arrives.
But there is still little hope.
A large number of survivors were buried under the collapsed ruins of the shelter. The abandoned buildings outside the shelter also collapsed, and the collapsed abandoned buildings buried the entrance of the shelter. If there is no external rescue, These sanctuaries are likely to be turned into ready-made tombs.
And time is running out. In the low temperature of minus tens of degrees, without food and heating, these people can't last long.
However, the rescue team brought by the eight arks is limited, and without heavy machinery, it is difficult to excavate these collapsed buildings.
How to rescue the survivors buried under the rubble more quickly and effectively has become the primary problem facing the rescue team.
The local city government has contacted the rescue team, and some 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 the rescue operation.
"The city government has a batch of construction machinery that can be put into rescue operations." The deputy mayor's face was grim. Said: "But the key is the shortage of manpower. Your rescue team has come to 800 people. At present, the city government can organize more than 1,000 people. 2,000 people are not enough!"
The leader of the rescue team also nodded in agreement, frowned and said: "There are too many collapsed shelters, even if there are exoskeletons that can exert the strength of several people, there is no way to do it in a short time. Dig 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 planes carrying airborne troops to assist. I asked the captain of the Chenlong to contact the rear, and they should be there tomorrow morning at 6 Arrived before 1 o'clock." Chen Xin informed the others of the information he knew, and glanced at his watch while saying, "It is 2 am, and there are still four hours."
"Then let's do our best to rescue first. It's been 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 knew that the earthquake had occurred for so long Well, even if someone could survive at first, it wouldn't last long in such cold weather.
Now is different from the past. In the past, the temperature was not so low. The survivors could last a long time even if they didn't eat or drink. .
So now it's a race to the rescue.
"First put all the construction machinery into the rescue work, and try to clear an airborne field as much as possible to prepare for the airborne." The team leader put forward the most feasible suggestion he could think of under the current circumstances.
Chen Xin also had no objection to this, 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 survey, get through Rescue channel.
Even if people can't be rescued, the news that someone is coming to rescue them should be passed in, and the necessary food and water should be fed into the collapsed shelter to give hope to the survivors!
In addition, the tents we brought must be erected as soon as possible, and the survivors who have been rescued should be placed as well as possible! "
"I'll arrange the resettlement work. Deputy Mayor Zhao, you will organize the rescue work!" After listening to Chen Xin's words, the leader of the rescue team made the arrangement without any nonsense.
"Okay, leave the rescue to me!" The deputy mayor agreed happily, and said to Chen Xin, "Let you ask Academician Chen for help from your superiors!"
Chen Xin certainly would not refuse, and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I will contact the higher authorities to get more supplies and manpower."
After discussing the division of labor, everyone did not waste time, so they started their own operations separately.
But walking out of the tent where the meeting was held~IndoMTL.com~ Chen Xin looked at the busy rescue site outside and the ark hovering overhead, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said to the team leader: "Classify the survivors and compare the situation. It is good to let them rest for a while, and then come to help rescue people. Even if they can't help dig people out, they can also help place new survivors at the rescue site.
As for the survivors with more serious conditions, let the small airship send them to the ark. The above conditions are better, which is also conducive to the recovery of these survivors. Keeping them here at the rescue site will not only occupy the place, but their mental state will also affect other survivors at the rescue site. "
"Okay, I'll make arrangements. Academician Chen, please contact your superiors quickly!" After listening to Chen Xin's suggestion, the team leader also felt that it was a good plan.
The ark has now unloaded most of its supplies, and the interior space has been vacated. It is indeed possible to place some survivors in serious conditions on it.
If the ark needs to transport supplies, these survivors can also be sent to the rear for treatment, which will not affect the use of the ark.
After Chen Xin finished his suggestions, he also boarded a small airship and returned to the Ark Chenlong. He planned to borrow the communication equipment of the Ark to inquire about the follow-up support.
