Chapter 391: Earthquake Rescue

On February 18, the day after the Jinxi earthquake, a large passenger plane slowly landed at Mianyang Airport, not far from the epicenter, and state leaders personally came to the disaster area to direct the earthquake relief.

Riding a Z-20 helicopter, leader X came to Jinxi County, the hardest-hit county, and saw the victims whose homes had been completely destroyed.

The victims were very excited when they saw X Da coming, and they all stepped forward to shake hands and talk to him.

"Folks, the difficulties are only temporary, you must believe in the country, believe in the army, disasters will not defeat us! The People's Liberation Army will definitely rescue every compatriot who is crushed under the rubble, and the country will definitely help you rebuild your homeland. ”

The county magistrate of Jinxi County, who accompanied him, said: "The general secretary is right, we will definitely be able to tide over this difficulty!" ”

There was not much excitement on the faces of the victims, and many were still wiping tears.

One of the victims took X's big hand and cried: "General Secretary, the second time, this is the second time!" My parents, wife, son, brother's family, and sister's family are all dead, and I have lost a total of 14 relatives! I don't want to stay in this place anymore, it's hell! Hell where earthquakes occur at every turn! Go, I'm moving out, I'm leaving this place! ”

Another victim also said: "General Secretary, in the earthquake in 07, we also killed a lot of people, and now more than half of the people in the entire county are dead!" It's like the place has been cursed by the devil...... We're moving away, and we can't afford the next earthquake anymore. ”

Another middle-aged man said: "General Secretary, my whole family ran out alone, and my wife, son and daughter-in-law are all gone...... Don't rebuild it anymore, this place is not worth wasting so much money on the state, you move us all outside, no matter how poor and miserable the place, as long as you can get out of this place! ”

All the victims said: "General Secretary. You can do it, take us all away! ”

X's eyes were clouded with a layer of fog, and he looked at the victims with tears and grief in his eyes, and he didn't know how to comfort them.

Since ancient times, people have said that western Sichuan is the "land of abundance", where the land is rich, the resources are abundant, the climate is suitable, and there are few wars...... Speaking of this place, people can't help but envy it, how nice it would be to be born in this place.

But the reality is cruel to people. This place is not suitable for human habitation.

It is located at the intersection of the Eurasian plate and the Indian Ocean plate, and belongs to the area of high earthquake occurrence, with an average of five years, there will be an earthquake of more than 6 on the Richter scale, a major earthquake of more than 7 years, an average of 20 years, and an earthquake of 8 magnitude, which is extremely rare in the world, is actually in more than ten years. It happened twice.

Generally speaking, a magnitude 6 earthquake is equivalent to a 30,000-ton T-NT atomic bomb exploding underground, and a magnitude 7 earthquake is ten times more powerful than a magnitude 6 earthquake. That's 10 atomic bombs.

An unprecedented magnitude 8 earthquake is equivalent to 100 atomic bombs exploding underground, and the vibrations produced can be detected by energy detectors 5,000 kilometers away.

The Jinxi earthquake had a magnitude of 8.1. It is 0.1 higher than the 8.0 magnitude of the Wenchuan earthquake, which represents the intensity of this earthquake, which is twice as strong as the 8.0 magnitude. In other words, the destructive power of this earthquake is at least twice as great as the Wenchuan earthquake in 07!

In 07, 3 counties fell into an "island" state, and this time, there are 8 counties in an "island" state, and the casualties are almost certain, far more than the Wenchuan earthquake.

As the destruction of the earth by human beings continues to increase, many environmental disasters fall into an unpredictable state, El Niño, the greenhouse effect, rising sea levels, droughts, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, virus transmission and other disasters will become more and more frequent, which may be the punishment of nature for human beings, but it can be expected that this trend cannot be reversed.

And those places where disasters are prone to erupt will no longer be suitable for human habitation.

Just like the earthquake-prone area located in the western part of Sichuan Province.

Holding a woman's somewhat trembling and cold hand, she had just lost her 3-year-old daughter, X knew that she was now in fear and sadness, helpless and desperate, he held the woman in his arms, two bean-sized tears flowed out of the corners of his eyes, natural disasters, why should the people be innocent?

"Trust us, believe us! We will definitely build a more beautiful and safe home for you! ”

The photographer immediately filmed this scene, and the next day, the image of X holding the victims in tears became the front-page illustration of major news, and countless people were moved to tears.

……

A magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale occurred in western Sichuan Province in country H, and the international community also got the news as soon as possible.

Rescue teams from Russia, Pakistan, South Korea and other countries immediately came to the earthquake-stricken area of country H and devoted themselves to disaster relief.

There are also some African countries who have donated 500,000 or 1 million yuan, hundreds of tents, dozens of tons of food, and some medical equipment.

In order to show humanitarian concern, the National Assembly of the United States allocated 1 million rice yuan to support the earthquake relief of country H.

Jeri said that he could send a rescue team to country H to rescue the survivors buried under the rubble with their advanced equipment, but he was rejected by country H, and country H did not need Jeri's help.

In the Wenchuan earthquake in 07, Jeri sent a team of rescue experts to the disaster area for relief, 37 experts, with 32 reporters, stopped all the way, and named to go to XX place for rescue...... In these places, there are nuclear plants, materials research institutes, and ultra-high frequency wind tunnel centers in country H, and their ulterior motives were immediately noticed by the personnel of party H, who refused their request on the spot.

When they went to the rescue, they refused to let people visit, refused to help Party H, cleared the field, and their instruments and equipment were very advanced, which needed to be kept secret and could not be seen by the people of Country H.

It took a long, long time to rescue and dig up a body.

Jeri people bow and pay silent tribute, what about the 32 journalists? It's a great opportunity to put on a show.

In that earthquake, the rescue team of Jerry exhumed two bodies and mourned in silence twice, which won the appreciation of most of H and all Jeri people, and the show was successful!

In this earthquake, they still want to send a rescue team over, unless the people of country H are fools, they will agree to this request.

In this disaster relief operation, the outside world saw several pieces of equipment that shocked them, in addition to the Y-20 and Z-20, two powerful new equipment that has never been exposed.

……

After the earthquake, the mountains collapsed and the roads were damaged and interrupted, so in order to open up these roads to the disaster area, large engineering equipment such as excavators and bulldozers had to be transported into the disaster area in large quantities.

In 07 Wenchuan earthquake, country H rented two Mi-26 large helicopters from Russia, this helicopter can directly lift 20 tons of equipment, a medium-sized excavator weighs about 20 tons, relying on two Mi-26, dozens of excavators have been transported into the disaster area, greatly accelerating the speed of road repair.

The role of heavy helicopters is extremely huge, two Mi-26s are far from enough, and the Jinxi earthquake is much worse than the Wenchuan earthquake, so it is necessary to mobilize more heavy helicopters.

Mountainous area of Longguan County.

Through the windshield, Wang Hui looked forward and down, 307 National Highway was all covered with earth and rock, the amount of earthwork was more than one million cubic meters, the entire mountain collapsed in the earthquake, and there was no longer a road to be seen.

Because there are a large number of casualties, it is not necessary to invest in heavy helicopter hoisting equipment for road repairs, Wang Hui, who is driving a Whirlwind-100 helicopter, is now going to Longguan County.

"When will the excavator arrive?"

The voice of the rescue command rang out in the headset.

Looking at the range display on the navigation system, Wang Hui said, "I'll arrive in fifteen minutes." ”

"Speed up, there are a few wounded here who need to be rescued urgently."

"Yes!" As soon as Wang Hui pushed the throttle, the speed value on the speedometer increased from 280 to 320.

……

Longguan County, the school playground of Longguan No. 2 Middle School.

A large number of people have gathered here, and there is a large open space in the center of the playground, which is a temporary landing site for helicopters.

There was a buzzing sound in the sky.

"The helicopter is coming!" One shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked up into the sky, and a strange silver-white helicopter flew over.

It has four large propeller wings and a transverse propeller behind the tail and flies very fast.

What is even more surprising is that under this helicopter, an excavator weighing about 20 tons is hoisted by a rope, and it weighs about 20 tons.

In the huge roar, the helicopter landed slowly, the excavator was first placed firmly on the ground, and the ground staff quickly untied the rope tied to the excavator against the strong wind blown by the helicopter propeller wings.

The helicopter continued to descend and finally docked in the middle of the playground.

After the helicopter doors on both sides opened, more than 40 doctors and PLA soldiers poured out of the cabin, and not only that, but they also drove an ambulance from the rear hatch and carried out hundreds of stretchers, medical kits and some medical equipment...... All kinds of personnel and supplies, stuffing the entire cabin to the brim.

Among the victims, Zhao Hongbing, a policeman who maintained order, opened his mouth wide, he had several years of experience as a soldier, and he had seen a lot of equipment, but he had never seen a helicopter with such a strong carrying capacity.

"An excavator, an ambulance, plus the personnel and materials in the cabin, there must be forty tons of weight."

Everyone worked together to quickly unload the supplies. On the playground, more than a dozen wounded people in urgent need of rescue were lifted onto the helicopter, the hatch was closed, and the emergency doctor said to Wang Hui: "Hurry up and take off, these wounded need to be rescued urgently!" ”

"Understood!"

Wang Hui launched the helicopter, ascended, accelerated, and flew away, and under the gaze of thousands of victims in the playground, it turned from a behemoth into a sparrow dot, until it disappeared into the distant mountain sky.

This shocking power gave them infinite faith and confidence.
