Chapter 364: The Power of Technology
Even if Wang Yong knows that his father is very popular in the world now, especially after the 97 financial crisis, Wang Haina, who has a lot of cash flow in his hands, is definitely an important figure in the eyes of politicians from various countries who are in the midst of economic crisis, and he doesn't think that his father will have any friendship with the ruthless man of the **** emperor.
But now is not the time to ponder this, seeing that the smoke on the West Mountain is getting bigger and bigger, and the area of the fire is increasing rapidly every moment, it is a pine tree that has grown for more than ten years!
Restarting the car and going down with one foot on the accelerator, the Hummer with good off-road performance simply drove directly into the field in a hurry, avoiding the dense traffic on the road, and went straight to the foot of the mountain.
The car could no longer drive to the foot of the mountain, and the fire started from the foot of the mountain, and now it was impossible to get close to it, and the red flames were so high that they felt as if their hair was about to be ignited when they were ten meters away.
All the fire brigades and nearby villagers gathered at the bottom of the hill on the dam of a small reservoir built against the mountain. Two fire trucks were also parked there, and people were constantly connecting the water pipes together, one end connected to the reservoir, and the other end went straight to the fire, ready to start extinguishing the fire.
Wang Yong had just stopped the car, and before he could push the door open, he heard an order from someone at the scene.
"Let's go!"
Wang Yong and Liu Bin pushed open the doors on both sides and jumped down, rushed up in a hurry, squeezed into the crowd, and finally came to the front.
"Stay honest with Lao Tzu, or let people send you two little bastards back!"
Wang Yong and Liu Bin were scolded by others, but they were surprisingly silent, and they had no intention of resisting at all. There is no way, although it is the old secretary who scolds them, they can only bear it.
"I just called my dad, and he said that if he has a connection, he can buy a few special firefighting planes from Russia." Wang Yong said to the old secretary while paying attention to the firefighters over there to extinguish the fire.
"By the time the plane flew over from Russia, there would be nothing left of our mountain for a long time, only a place of ashes."
The old secretary didn't even look at him, and stared at the fire. Two firefighting teams each carried a faucet, and they were violently thinking about the fire spraying water columns.
Wang Yong noticed that the water sprayed from the two faucets was not the same. One of them was the same as he imagined, a column of water that spewed straight out more than ten meters away. The other is like a rain of rain, like a large watering can on the head, spraying a curtain of water.
His eyes began to fall back along the figures of the firefighters who slowly rushed into the fire, until the fire truck here by the reservoir, Wang Yong estimated that it was about more than 300 meters and nearly 400 meters away.
"This fire truck is too good, isn't it? At such a distance, you can see that the water can spray more than ten meters away, what kind of power pump does this have to be? What if it is sprayed on people? That's not ......."
Liu Bin muttered unconsciously, staring at the figures of the seven or eight firefighters who had begun to go deep into the fire with his two eyes, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
Fueled by the wind, the flames rose higher and higher, igniting the trees at such a rapid speed that people watched as the fire grew stronger and stronger without even having a chance to open a barrier.
The two fire hoses of the fire brigade could only be suppressed behind them, and they could not effectively control the spread of the fire. Seeing this situation, Wang Yong was also anxious but unable to do anything.
The fire is ruthless, and with such a strong wind, the fire can't get people in at all, and those who go up now can only be separated by five or six hundred meters, trying to open up a barrier before the fire burns over. Just looking at their current progress, it is estimated that it is hanging. It may have been before they could open up the barrier before the fire had already burned.
Not to mention, the smoke from the fire had already drifted within a hundred or two hundred meters, and in the smoke with a high concentration of carbon monoxide, people would have to fall into a severe coma if they stayed a little longer.
Just when everyone was anxious, Qin Lang came with some leaders of the county, officers and soldiers of the county fire squadron and three fire trucks.
There was no greeting, and the villagers who had been watching nearby and couldn't help immediately rushed up, helping the officers and soldiers of the county fire squadron to quickly lay water hoses and connect joints, and strive to get them into battle as quickly as possible.
"Old secretary, the situation is not good!"
Qin Lang glanced at the situation on the fire ground, and said to the old secretary beside him with helplessness and sadness. The fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire, and the two fire hoses that have gone deep into the fire scene alone can't control the fire at all, even if they add what they just brought.
The fire was already burning to the top of the mountain, but the firefighters could only start to extinguish the fire from the foot of the mountain little by little, and they could not go up the mountain at all, nor could they stop the spread of the fire at all.
"No way, the wind is too strong, the fire is too big, the babies can't go up!"
The old secretary looked at the figures in the fire field with a gloomy face, they were the members of the Wangjiazhuang Town Fire Squadron who had only applied in the town at the beginning of the year, they were all young men of about twenty years old, and in the eyes of the old secretary, they were all children!
"01, 01, someone 05 fainted! Someone fainted! ”
"Memorize it, memorize it quickly! Fast! Fast! ”
The rapid shouting over the walkie-talkie quickly attracted everyone's attention, and a firefighter in a fireproof suit was shouting hoarsely into the walkie-talkie. Another officer next to him, dressed in a regular armed police firefighting uniform, turned to the ambulance parked not far away and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor! Someone fainted! ”
At the same time, among the officers and men of the county fire squadron who rushed to reinforce them, four or five people immediately rushed out and quickly rushed to the fire scene to rush to the few comrades-in-arms who appeared and disappeared from time to time in the smoke of gunpowder.
Two doctors, as well as two stretcher bearers who had been prepared for a long time, rushed over with the stretchers, and then rushed out of the crowd and ran to the firefighters who rushed out of the fire with their comrades on their backs and stumbled out.
The wind seemed to be stronger, and the cold and dry wind blew on the face, and it felt like someone had been whipped with a whip, and it hurt and hurt. But everyone didn't seem to feel it, and their eyes looked at the figure of the firefighter who created a sea of fire with his comrades on his back.
"Whew-hu-"
A strange noise came from the eastern sky, and before one realized what it was, it had become deafening.
"Look! It's a helicopter! ”
"The plane is coming!"
"Great! The fire-fighting plane is coming! ”
Wang Yong followed the sound and looked into the eastern sky, only to see three very low-flying helicopters rushing towards this place at a high speed. Each of them hangs a huge bucket under its body, and even in the air when the wind is howling, the bucket still hangs straight down, unaffected by the rest of the world.
"It's finally here!"
The corners of Wang Yong's eyes were a little moist as he looked at the figures of the three Mi-171 helicopters that were getting closer and bigger, and muttered to himself. He knew that with the arrival of these planes, there was at least a glimmer of hope to extinguish the wildfire.
Three helicopters flew over the crowd and rushed to the top of the hill without stopping, and at the forefront of the fire, they slammed open the bucket. I saw a red curtain of water falling from the sky, accurately covering the line of fire. Then another, and the third also followed with the opening of the bucket's drain valve.
The three fire buckets containing three tons of long-lasting flame retardant were opened one after another, and the three red water curtains were like heavy rain falling from the sky, which instantly suppressed the fire.
After emptying the buckets, the three helicopters flew straight over the reservoir at the foot of the mountain without stopping, hovering to the right position in turn, allowing the buckets to sink into the water and fill them again.
At this moment, another roar of rotors piercing the air was heard, and two Zhijiu and two Mi-171s roared over the crowd, and soon hovered beyond the fire line on the top of the mountain.
As the ropes were thrown out of the open hatch, the sturdy figures fell from the sky along the ropes, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, quickly landing, using chain saws, machetes, sapper shovels and other tools to open up the landing field.
"Everyone get ready, bring the tools at hand, and when the site is opened up on the top of the mountain, everyone will take the pilot up and open up the fire barrier."
Liu Yaowu, who didn't know when he arrived, was accompanied by a fire officer, facing the neatly lined Wangjiazhuang militia company and giving orders.
The militiamen who have received training in this area and have made several sets of plans have different tools in their hands, including chainsaws, shovels, machetes, wooden poles and ropes, knapsack fire extinguishers, and wind-powered fire extinguishers, all with strict expressions, like warriors about to go to the battlefield.
Three helicopters with fire buckets filled the reservoir again with water at the fastest speed in the reservoir with an average water depth of more than three meters and a maximum depth of six meters, and then rose straight from the ground and rushed to the fire line again.
Soon, several helicopters on the top of the hill finished dropping crews, and they didn't even have time to retract the cables before they rose from the ground, and then quickly ran to the dam, ready to put the second group of firefighters into the front line of the fire.
Two hours, just two hours after the helicopter arrived. The wildfire was extinguished, and although there were still a large number of firefighters and militia on the mountain, the masses, and the use of various tools to patrol the places where there seemed to be a resurgence, everyone knew that human beings had overcome this sudden fire with the power of technology.
When three helicopters with huge buckets dropped the water curtain on the fire for the last time, the eight helicopters in front and behind lined up in a neat herringbone formation and returned to the fire in triumphantly.
"Awesome!"
Liu Bin looked at the helicopter formation that was gradually moving away, gave a thumbs up and shouted excitedly, his eyes were even brighter, as if he was the pilot of those helicopters at this time, and the huge helicopter was soaring in the sky.
"Is this called?"
The fire was extinguished as quickly as possible, and Wang Yong was also very excited. But I just couldn't get used to Liu Bin's uninformed stupidity, so I despised him when I opened my mouth. For a moment, he thought of a lot of cattle fork firefighting equipment that had appeared now, Mi-26? Fire tanks? Firefighting rockets?
"Wait, wait for the special fire-fighting plane that my dad bought from Russia to come over, and then let you know what the real awesome shines on!" (To be continued.) )
