Chen Xin originally wanted to join the front-line disaster relief work. After all, his nano-armor can be turned into large-scale construction machinery, and it can also be turned into mist to penetrate into any gap, whether it is used for quick excavation or searching for survivors. Very efficient.
But neither the deputy mayor nor the leader of the rescue team prevented Chen Xin from going to the front line to participate in the rescue in person.
Scientists like Chen Xin should stay at the rear. Even if he has to come to the front line if necessary, he should not be allowed to set foot in dangerous places.
After all, building collapses and avalanches in urban areas are still happening from time to time, and even aftershocks have hit twice. Under such circumstances, Chen Xin went deep into the front line to participate in the rescue. If an accident occurs, it will be a loss for the entire country. .
Therefore, even though they knew that Chen Xin's help would enhance the rescue power, they did not dare to put Chen Xin in danger just for this reason.
Fortunately, Chen Xin himself knew that going to the front line to help would only add unnecessary burdens to others, so after being advised a few words, he did not insist on directly participating in the rescue, but stayed at the rescue point to take charge of his own work. Work.
The call for help was dialed out, and the Air Force stated that the airborne troops would arrive on time. At that time, four hundred airborne troops would parachute directly into the core of the disaster area to provide support for the rescue team.
However, it is still difficult to transport relevant relief supplies into Kauai. Large-scale transfer of supplies and some personnel can only be carried out by the Wu Ma and Chou Niu, which are currently responsible for transporting supplies.
After discussing this with the rear, Chen Xin dispatched two Arks, Zishu and Sishe, from the Arks that were conducting rescue operations in the disaster area to participate in the material transfer, striving to transport more materials to the disaster area while also transferring the survivors who had been rescued so far. Those who were in worse condition and needed treatment were sent to the rear.
At the same time, Chen Xin also contacted his scientific research base and informed Tang Tang that new equipment that was still in the experimental stage would be sent via transport plane to provide more help to the disaster area.
"New equipment? But that thing hasn't passed the test yet. Is there any problem with its safety?" Tang Tang received Chen Xin's order. Although he knew that human life in the disaster area was at stake and rescuing the victims was paramount, he was still worried about the new equipment that Chen Xin wanted. equipment.
However, Chen Xin showed a firm attitude towards this. He took the phone and said to Tang Tang: "Now the disaster area needs more support. I regret agreeing to let Xu Gou and Hai Zhu go to support the Lucians, although they also It's tragic. In this situation, we should indeed provide some help within our ability, but now we are almost overwhelmed!
This batch of new equipment has passed basic tests and logic tests before. Instead of conducting safety tests in the laboratory, it is better to conduct actual combat tests directly. Even if there is a certain degree of danger, it is worthwhile to rescue more victims. "
"Okay, if you insist, I will reserve my opinion." Faced with Chen Xin's insistence, Tang Tang did not agree with the risky move of directly putting untested equipment into disaster area rescue operations, but she also There was no firm opposition.
Chen Xin noticed Tang Tang's emotions, but he couldn't worry so much at this time. The disaster area needed the new equipment.
"Arrange the shipment as quickly as possible. I hope to see them arrive at the disaster area within 24 hours." Chen Xin said to Tang Tang, confirming that she had received his order, and then hung up the communication.
Because he could not go to the front line to participate in the disaster relief work, Chen Xin simply did not go down to the ground. Instead, he came to the driver's cab of Ark and looked through the porthole at the rescue point below illuminated by Ark's searchlights.
People on the ground are busy like ants, searching for signs of life, digging ruins, rescuing survivors, and transporting survivors to rescue points for treatment...
Everyone was busy without stopping, and people were constantly coming in and out of the tents set up at the rescue site. Each tent was constantly receiving rescued survivors.
Some survivors in serious condition are also being transported to the Ark by small airships.
Compared with temporary tents set up on the ground, although most of the interior of the airship is cargo space because it does not use an air shelter solution, the design still takes into account the need to treat the wounded during disaster relief missions. The interior design With a ward that can accommodate injured patients, it can be turned into a flying hospital with just a few changes and adjustments.
Therefore, after the survivors who were in serious condition were sent here, they were quickly resettled.
Just looking at the busy crowd, Chen Xin regretted his previous vote when agreeing to send two arks to Lucia to carry out the rescue mission.
If there were two more arks, more survivors could be rescued!
Although the resolution to provide aid to Lucia occurred before the earthquake in the southwest, Chen Xin still regretted that he did not insist on keeping the Ark when he voted.
However, this kind of thing is indeed difficult to predict in advance. By now, the two arks of Xugou and Haizhu should have flown to the capital of Lucia. Even if they were to turn back now, they would still have to fly for another half a month.
So Chen Xin quickly adjusted his emotions. Instead of regretting letting the two arks go to Lucia, he should consider how to mobilize more rescue forces to the disaster area.
The Air Force's airborne troops can make up for the lack of manpower, but there is still a big gap in construction machinery.
When discussing the rescue plan with the deputy mayor just now, he had already reported the number of construction machinery that the local city government could mobilize. Although there was indeed a batch, the number still could not meet the needs of the rescue.
But while personnel are easy to deploy, construction machinery is not so lucky to come in.
Even the smallest model of an excavator weighs several hundred kilograms, while larger construction machinery such as excavators and cranes weigh several tons, dozens of tons, or even dozens of tons. , these construction machinery cannot be transported in much even if it is transported once by the Ark.
What's more critical is that there are no airports for aircraft to take off and land in the disaster area. Airborne troops can parachute. Could these construction machinery also be airdropped with the airborne troops?
Therefore, construction machinery that can be easily transported by aircraft and can be deployed to disaster areas by airdrop with airborne troops has become the most needed material in disaster relief areas.
Fortunately, during the past half year, in addition to spending his energy on several major researches, Chen Xin also found time to make a piece of equipment that he had been planning for a long time but had never had the time or opportunity to make.
Although this piece of equipment has not yet been mass-produced on a large scale due to various reasons, and only a small batch has been trial-produced by the scientific research base, it can just meet the requirements of air transportation and airdrop, and solve the urgent needs of the disaster area.
