Feb. 19, 11:05 a.m. Three days after the Jinxi earthquake.

"A number of survivors were found in Wanda Mall, the county seat of Nanli, and the PLA officers and soldiers were asked to provide rescue and rescue these survivors."

"We're going to send rescue forces to the rescue right away!"

After 120 soldiers of an infantry company of a certain group army of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region arrived at the scene, they were somewhat helpless.

The mall's upper building has collapsed, but the underground parking lot is unharmed, and a life detector has revealed nearly 100 survivors in the parking lot, all of whom are still alive.

The exit of the underground parking lot has been tightly blocked by the ruins of the collapsed buildings, and the officers and men have to clean up at least 100 tons of building garbage before they can open the exit, which will take at least three days for the officers and soldiers who lack the help of heavy machinery.

At this time, the rescue expert said: "The vital signs of the survivors are starting to become weak, the underground parking lot is now closed, fresh air cannot enter, if you don't open a passage quickly, it will take another six hours at most, and the people inside will die of lack of oxygen." ”

After a few minutes of discussion between the company commander and the soldiers, it was decided to use a cutter to cut through the cement cover on top of the underground parking lot and cut out a vent through guò to rescue the survivors inside.

However, to the surprise of the company commander and the soldiers, the mall was built with the possibility of earthquakes in mind, so when the developer built the underground parking lot, the thickness of the cement cover was designed to be 46 centimeters, nearly half a meter.

But in the process of construction, the developer forgot to make a more elaborate design on the ventilation system, leaving only one ventilation hole - the location of this ventilation hole was not designed to be reasonable, and after the earthquake, this ventilation hole was blocked by the rubble, like the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot.

Buzz!

The soldiers held the cutters and kept cutting the cement slabs.

"Boom!"

The cutter made a strange noise. Then a puff of black smoke came out, and a soldier's face changed, "Company commander, it's not good, the cutter burned out." ”

The company commander's face also changed drastically, they only had a total of four cutting machines in their hands, one was broken yesterday, and one was broken today, and the remaining two could not guarantee that the task of cutting cement slabs would be completed in the next four hours.

Just two hours. The three cutters worked non-stop, and only completed the cutting work of less than 10 centimeters - the steel bars inside the cement slab were so difficult to cut that the rest of the work could not be completed in four hours.

The company commander said: "Call your superiors and ask them to transfer a few more cutting machines, the sooner the better!" ”

After contacting his superiors, the communications soldier said to the company commander: "Company commander, the superiors said that they have sent a new rescue force to come, and they will arrive in about 15 minutes. ”

"A new rescue force?"

……

After Tianming took out 200 engineering mechs, he also took them to the military base where the Tornado-100 helicopter was parked. The military base is not far from the epicenter, and the Whirlwind-100 helicopters can fly the mechs to any of the earthquake-stricken sites in two hours.

More than 200 mecha pilots were also released from the ability space by him. Then immediately returned to the underground base.

200 engineering mechs are not necessarily enough, Tianming plans to build hundreds more mechs to make these mechs play a sufficient role.

……

The engineering mecha rescue team was soon established.

After receiving news from various places from the disaster area, the earthquake headquarters has received information from all over the country. A lot of tricky tasks were delivered.

In Maolin County, a survivor crushed under the rubble, bleeding profusely from his wounds. But a ten-ton stone slab that weighed on him really couldn't be moved, and the rescue team couldn't rescue him, because if he moved a little, the stone slab might crush him into a meatloaf, and a variety of engineering equipment would have to be used to rescue him......

There is a teaching building in Makang No. 1, which did not collapse in the earthquake, but the foundation is displaced, the building is tilted 65 degrees, and there is a possibility of collapse at any time in the continuous aftershocks, in the teaching building, except for the teachers and students above the second floor, all were transferred, in a classroom on the first floor, 35 teachers and students were blocked in the classroom because the doors and windows were damaged, and their lives were in danger at any time as the aftershocks continued......

In a shopping mall in Nanli County, nearly 100 survivors took refuge in the underground garage, because the ventilation facilities were blocked, the air could not enter, and there was a risk of death due to lack of oxygen, and the life gap must be opened within four hours......

……

"Are you ready?"

Before the helicopter took off, Wang Hui asked Zhang Yudao.

Zhang Yu did not sit in the cabin of the helicopter, but climbed into the mecha hatch, activated the mecha, and prepared for departure.

He made an "OK" gesture to Wang Hui and signaled that he could go.

"Let's go!"

Buzz!

The Whirlwind-100 blew a huge whirlwind, and when it rose to a height of 50 meters, the wire rope below suddenly straightened, and the helicopter abruptly stopped its upward momentum.

Wang Hui had already expected it, and pushed the throttle lever to increase the engine power, and then the engineering mecha below was hoisted.

Zhang Yu only felt a shaking, through the pull from the hook on the back of the mecha, his feet were light, he knew that he and the mecha were both suspended, this process was a little unstable, under the blowing of the wind, the mecha actually entered a state of rotation...... In order to get out of this state, Zhang Yu moved the mechanical arm and metal legs of the mecha and lowered the center of gravity, which was only then to get rid of the rotating state.

……

Nanli County, Wanda Shopping Mall.

The hum of a helicopter could be heard in the sky.

The company commander, who was still cutting cement slabs, raised his head slightly and saw a quadcopter.

This kind of helicopter has appeared since yesterday, he has seen it three times, and once he went to this helicopter to unload and carry materials, and he was extremely shocked, because in addition to the cabin of this helicopter loaded with more than 10 tons of materials, it also hoisted a heavy crawler bulldozer weighing nearly 30 tons, and the combined weight may exceed 40 tons, and the load capacity is really amazing.

A Mi-171 can only carry less than 2 tons of cargo at this altitude, the domestic Z-20 can carry up to 5 tons, and this helicopter can carry 40 tons at once?

Doesn't this mean that one trip of this helicopter is equivalent to more than 10 trips of other helicopters?

After nervously handling, he asked the pilot curiously: "What country is this helicopter imported from?" Russia? ”

The pilot snubbed him for a few seconds, and then said lightly: "This is a quadcopter cyclone-100, which is 100% purely domestic." Where can a foreign country produce such an advanced helicopter? ”

This made the company commander excited for a while, the country has such an advanced artifact, this earthquake will definitely kill many people!

The helicopter's voice became louder and louder, and remembering what the correspondent had just said fifteen minutes ago, the company commander suddenly realized that this helicopter should have come to support them.

He quickly stopped what he was saying, and the company commander said to the soldiers: "The people who support us are coming, hurry up and clear a field and let the helicopter find a place to stop." ”

A soldier's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Company commander." It may not be the people who support us. ”

"What isn't-"

Before the company commander could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly saw the machine hanging under the helicopter - a mecha.

He was dumbfounded: "This is not making a blockbuster movie, right?" Is that a mech? ”

……

Wang Hui looked down, and after finding a relatively empty field, the driver Tornado-100 hovered here for a while, reminded Zhang Yu in the headset to get ready, and then began to descend in altitude ...... "Bump!" A dull sound sounded, and the two thick mechanical legs of the mecha stomped steadily on the ground.

Zhang Yukong's mechanical arm lifted up and removed the metal hook hanging on his back. said to Wang Hui: "You are not needed here, you can quickly go to another place to transport the wounded." ”

After the helicopter flew away, Zhang Yu drove the engineering mecha "Bang Bang" and "Bang Bang" and walked a few steps forward to the company commander who was still in a daze with his mouth wide open. "What do you want me to help with?" ”

Thinking of the survivors who were still in the underground parking lot, the company commander immediately came out of a daze, talked about the difficulties they faced for five minutes, and said, "Comrade mecha pilot. You can help me break this cement slab that has been cut almost halfway, let the people below breathe in the fresh air first, and then open the entrance and exit blocked in the underground parking lot. ”

"Okay. Right away! ”

The company commander ordered the soldiers to disperse, Zhang Yu drove the mecha to the place where the cement slab was cut, thought about it, and first turned on the laser on the right arm of the machine, and the laser emitted a high-energy beam, which can heat any matter to a high temperature of thousands of degrees in a few tenths of a second, even hard rock, which can also be burned into red magma by this laser.

Ten minutes later, a two-square-meter-large, nearly half-meter-thick cement slab was pried off by Zhang Yu with a robotic arm, and the vent was opened.

"It's done, it's finally done!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.

The company commander hurriedly ordered a few soldiers to be hung with ropes, entered the underground parking lot, and sent some food and water to them, and for the sake of safety, Zhang Yu ran to the entrance and began to transfer the pile of at least hundreds of tons of building garbage.

Zhang Yu's movements were a little rough, manipulating two mechanical arms into the ruins, and then holding them again, like a bulldozer, constantly throwing bricks and cement again.

Three hours later, in the amazement of 120 soldiers who had been watching and hundreds of onlookers, Zhang Yu completed the task of opening the entrance, and all 97 survivors in the underground parking lot were rescued.

"How nice would it be if we could use this kind of mecha?" A soldier heard the company commander exclaim.

……

Something like this happens in more than one place.

The survivor who was crushed in the ruins in Maolin County, at the last moment when his vital signs dropped to near death, an engineering mecha arrived in time, stretched out two powerful mechanical arms, and lifted the stone slab weighing 10 tons, and the person was quickly rescued, and the hateful stone slab, after the mecha pulled it out, it was smashed with a punch.

The 35 teachers and students in the teaching building of Makang No. 1 Middle School that was close to collapse were also successfully rescued by a mecha, and 5 minutes later, a strong aftershock occurred, and the tenacious teaching building finally collapsed, and everyone was shocked into a cold sweat.
