Chapter 453: 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.
