Chapter 343 Liaison and Translation
There is a consensus in the rescue community, that is, it is believed that the golden rescue period after the occurrence of geological disasters is 72 hours, that is, there is a "golden 72 hours" saying. During this time, the survival rate of the victims is relatively high. Over a 72-hour period, the survival rate of the victims decreases over time. The survival rate of people rescued within 24 hours is more than 90%, the survival rate of people rescued within 24-48 hours will drop to 50%-60%, and the survival rate of people rescued within 48-72 hours will drop to 20%-30%.
The earthquake in Wuyou County is a geological disaster, and the same applies to the saying "golden 72 hours". Within the golden 72 hours, leaving the passage of life to professional rescue teams and experienced disaster relief organizations has become a consensus in earthquake relief work. Compared with professional rescue personnel, enthusiastic volunteers can be of little use in the disaster area, and blindly entering the disaster area will only affect and interfere with the rescue work, which is actually adding chaos. The person in charge of a professional rescue organization has also publicly called for celebrities not to go for the time being during the most important 72 hours of the rescue.
Of course, professional rescue does not mean that there is no need for civil rescue, and it is more appropriate to set up an earthquake relief coordination point on the periphery of the disaster area, which can be responsible for receiving disaster relief materials sent by all parties on the one hand and organizing unified transportation, and at the same time, it can also organize scattered experienced civil rescue groups and individuals and arrange them to the disaster area as needed. In this way, it can not only avoid occupying too many passages and ensure the smooth flow of life roads, but also gather civil rescue forces to participate in earthquake relief.
Many people understand these truths. Xiao Yao was reluctant to send Jiang Yan back to Wuyou County at first, in addition to security issues, this is also one of the reasons. And this time in Wuyou County, the government also did the same, so at that time, in Shankou, the middle-aged man would prohibit Xiao Yao from entering, and asked him to go to a professional volunteer organization to sign up and wait for the unified organization arrangement. Similarly, this is also the reason why some people on the Internet criticized Xiao Yao for going to the disaster area to make a show. Fortunately, Xiao Yao proved through his performance in that news video that he is not only a professional star in singing and acting, but also a "professional" in rescue work, not a "hot-blooded youth" or a "show star" who runs to the disaster area to cause chaos as soon as his brain is hot.
Although there is a saying of "golden 72 hours", the rescue work in Wuyou County did not last only three days. In geological disasters around the world, there are also examples of trapped people who are rescued after more than 72 hours and are still alive. For rescue work, even if there is only one in 10,000 hope, it must be 100% effort. Overall, however, it is inevitable that after 72 hours, the survival rate of trapped people will be greatly reduced. After three days, the overall rescue work was not as intense as before.
Xiao Yao is not a professional engineer, and he built the water cutting machine in Zixu Town because he remembered the plot of an American drama in his previous life with a flash of inspiration. His main job in the disaster area is to help treat the wounded in medical tents. However, Xiao Yao is not a professional doctor. He was left behind by Dr. Zhang, not only because he was very competent, but also because he had an emergency officer certificate that he had taken because he was a little scared after opening his chest and deflating people on a plane to the United States last summer.
During these three days, more and more rescuers from all sides have arrived one after another, and there are fewer and fewer places left to search and rescue, and more and more manpower has become more and more sufficient. Three days later, with more professional medical personnel arriving and supplementing the various emergency medical points, the medical personnel in the county town also had sufficient manpower, and the two doctors finally let go of Xiao Yao, a first aid worker who was not a professional doctor.
What happened in Zixu Town has spread among the rescue teams in the disaster area. Company Commander Xu and Chen Gong also reported the incident to the two commanders-in-chief and leaders of the earthquake relief. Xiao Yao, a "capable" star, is not only famous in the disaster area, but also registered with the leader. After learning about Xiao Yao's star situation through the CCTV reporter, and learning that Xiao Yao, an emergency worker, was not particularly needed in terms of medical emergency, the two leaders discussed arranging a new job for Xiao Yao in line with the idea of making the best use of their talents.
After this geological disaster, Huaxia also received some assistance from other countries in the world. In addition to supplies, some countries have sent professional rescue teams. These foreign rescue teams are very professional and helpful in their work, but because of the language, there are certain difficulties in communication. I heard that Xiao Yao is a top student, and he once spent a year in the United States as an international exchange student, and his foreign language must be good, so the two leaders found Xiao Yao and asked him to be the liaison person of various foreign rescue teams, responsible for communication and contact, and if necessary, also work part-time as a translator.
Xiao Yao has little interest in search and rescue, moving stones, and other things that rely on physical strength, and he doesn't think that he will do better than those professional rescue team members. After finishing his work at the medical site, he was no longer interested in staying here. He was an unorganized straggler, and he didn't have to obey the unified arrangement of the command, so he originally planned to leave directly. But the CCTV female reporter named Yang Bing came with two leaders and discussed with him the work arrangements for the next few days, Xiao Yao once again dispelled the idea of leaving and stayed.
Xiao Yao has always believed that professional things should be done by professional people. Although he has received a lot of praise for his good performance in treating the wounded, many of them are due to his age and status. In terms of treatment techniques alone, he felt that he was no better than Dr. Zhang and other professional doctors. So after more medical professionals arrived, Xiao Yao immediately took the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian.
But the job of being a liaison and translator is different. Language is an aspect that Xiao Yao is very good at, and he even feels that in this aspect, there is no one stronger and more suitable for this job in the entire disaster area, so Xiao Yao nodded and agreed after listening to the arrangements of the two leaders.
Although not all of these foreign professional rescue teams speak Chinese Chinese, they can go to other countries for international rescue, and English, the main common language in the world today, is basically no problem. The foreign language taught in Huaxia School is English, and Xiao Yao went to the English-speaking United States as an international exchange student, and the two leaders arranged for Xiao Yao to be a liaison and translator.
But after Xiao Yao really started the work of liaison and translator, everyone found that Xiao Yao is not only good at English, but also when communicating with foreign rescue teams in Japan, France, and Germany, which are not native English speakers, and obviously speak English with a strong accent, Xiao Yao speaks Japanese, French, German, and their native Chinese languages to communicate with them, and the communication efficiency is extremely high, and the possibility of misunderstanding in language communication is almost completely eliminated.
At this time, the rescuers on the Huaxia side were shocked again, and the members of those foreign professional rescue teams also gave a thumbs up to this fluent multi-Chinese and highly efficient liaison and translator, and Xiao Yao became more famous in the disaster area.
When doing medical treatment work, Xiao Yao still carried out with a mentality of learning and doing, even if he had some free time, he went to the side of those professional doctors to study. But those foreign languages are the abilities that Xiao Yao has already mastered, and for Xiao Yao, the work of liaison communication and translation is much simpler and easier than the work of ambulance. Several foreign rescue teams were scattered in different areas, and Xiao Yao couldn't follow all of them alone, not even any of them, he only needed a walkie-talkie to complete his own work.
This kind of communication and translation work is basically based on the mouth, and after equipping the walkie-talkie with headsets and headsets, Xiao Yao can even completely free his hands. I have a lot more free time in this job, and I can free my hands. Xiao Yao simply took out the camera in his backpack and worked with the camera on his back.
As a result, Xiao Yao, who was busy in the medical tent a few days ago to help treat the wounded, has become a photographer who can move freely in the disaster area and take pictures everywhere with a camera.
The entire rescue operation lasted a total of eight days, and Xiao Yao, who arrived the next day, also stayed in the disaster area for seven days, until all the people in the disaster area were safely evacuated and all the rescuers set off to return, Xiao Yao drove away from the disaster area by himself.
After leaving the disaster area, Xiao Yao returned to Jiuhuang Airport to return the rented car, and also took a plane from Jiuhuang Airport back to Shencheng.
During the week in the disaster area, although Xiao Yao's news and news could be seen on CCTV news from time to time, Xiao Yao still insisted on making a phone call to his parents every night after returning to the tent where he lived to report his safety, telling him about his experience in the disaster area and his physical condition. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying's worries about Xiao Yao had already been slowly put down, and at this time, there were only three or four days left before the start of school, so Xiao Yao did not return to Yanjing's home, but went back to Shencheng directly.
Although living in a tent to eat a boxed lunch or even soaking in a box is not something unbearable for Xiao Yao, after staying in the disaster area for a whole week, Xiao Yao also feels a little physically and mentally exhausted. After returning to Shencheng, Xiao Yao didn't want to do anything, so he directly asked Fang Yi, who came to pick him up, to send him back to his residence, and fell asleep on the bed.
After sleeping in the residence for half an afternoon and a night, Xiao Yao felt refreshed after waking up, and seemed to have returned to a state full of energy. When he was thinking about where to go out to forage for food, he was called to the studio by a phone call from Yin Xi.
