Chapter 10: The First Shock Incident (2)
The impact of the explosion at the Institute of Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics at Ben Thanh University at night was so great that the tremor could be felt from up to 10 kilometers away. After the explosion www.biquge.info all the electronic equipment that was powered on and running within a radius of about five kilometers around the institute was damaged to varying degrees, and a temporary malfunction occurred.
The first to respond to the institute was the police officer on duty at the Bincheng University police station. There were only five police officers from the Binhai University Police Station, and they were the first to arrive at the scene to carry out simple handling work. After the holiday, there were not many people in the school, and there was no onlookers. After trying to report to their superiors to no avail, the five police officers all rushed to the gate of the research institute and set up a cordon.
Then came the doctors of the Second People's Hospital of Ben Thanh. Ben Thanh 2, which is less than two kilometres away from Ben Thanh University, had some riots after the explosion due to the malfunction of electronic equipment, but three ambulances were dispatched.
Then came the people of the Bincheng Armed Police Detachment, which is located about 15 kilometers away from Bencheng University. They first felt a slight tremor and the sound of an explosion, and then received a notification from the Ben Thanh Public Security Bureau, suspecting that Ben Thanh University had been attacked by terrorists and requesting their support.
The armed police detachment sent about a platoon of 40 soldiers, and under the leadership of the detachment leader, they rushed to Binhai University in three vehicles to prepare for the task of blockade investigation.
The last to arrive at the scene were the four fire trucks of the Bincheng Fire Detachment, due to the impact of communication, they were far away from the place of the incident and did not receive the alarm at the first time, but they soon received the dispatch from the command center and rushed to the scene.
In less than fifteen minutes, all parties rushed to Binhai University, and the scene stunned everyone at the scene.
The institute has a total of four research buildings, which are arranged side by side, from north to south, Building 1, Building 2, Building 3, and Building 4. The doors of the building are open in pairs, with Building 1 facing Building 2 and Building 3 facing Building 4. The entrance of the institute is on the north side of Building 1, and a wide avenue leads from the gate to the north and south. The avenue is like a flagpole, and the four research buildings are the flags.
Research Building No. 2 collapsed completely, just as Luo Tian had seen. Buildings 1 and 3 suffered significant damage from the blast, with Buildings 1 being the closest to Building 2 and suffering more damage than Building 3 at about three floors.
The power supply around the institute was damaged by the explosion, but the firefighters set up searchlights despite the fact that the flames in Building 2 illuminated the surroundings. While firefighters were trying their best to extinguish the skyrocketing fire above the ruins of Building 2, they also found that there were multiple fires in Building 1. While fighting the fire, they united with the armed police soldiers present at the scene to evacuate and rescue possible people in the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 research buildings.
The violent fire and billowing black smoke prevented the people present from discovering the Star Gate standing in the ruins of the sea of fire in the first place. Probably because the stargate is not large, and its dark black exterior is inconspicuous among the ruins. Luo Tian could discover the Star Gate at the first time, firstly, the fire was not burning much at that time, and more importantly, Luo Tian, who had telekinesis, had an obvious perception of the fluctuation of energy and the danger that was coming.
After learning that it was a fire in the research institute and that there were toxic, flammable and explosive chemicals, the fire brigade dispatched a dry powder fire truck, a foam fire truck, an ordinary blister truck, and a ladder truck when the fire truck was dispatched. Three fire trucks were at the scene doing their best to extinguish the fire.
As soon as Luo Tian came out of the back door with the teacher, he went straight to the gate, and as soon as the two of them walked out of the shadow of the building, they were discovered by the firefighters who rushed to the fire from the gate. They were sent to an ambulance parked next to the gate, and the paramedics on one side did a brief examination of the unconscious teacher, Luo Tian was fine, and the teacher was taken to the hospital after the examination.
As the first sober survivor who escaped from the scene, Luo Tian was briefly questioned by the firefighters and armed police officers and soldiers at the scene. After learning about the situation of Building No. 1 from Luo Tiankou, he urgently rescued Zhang Weimin, who was still in the building, who was seriously injured. After a brief examination and treatment by the on-site medical staff, Zhang Weimin was also rushed to the hospital for surgery.
The firefighters checked the situation of Building 1 again, confirmed that there was no one and continued to extinguish the fire in Building 1, and after 15 minutes, all the fire points in Building 1 were extinguished. News also came from Building 3 and 4.
Building 4 was less damaged and there was no one but one guard on duty. The guard suffered only minor injuries, several scratches on his body from broken glass. Building 3 was badly damaged, and the guards of Building 3 were at the entrance of the building at the time of the explosion when they were hit on the head by a concrete block flying out of Building 2 and died instantly.
When the firefighters arrived at the door of Building No. 3, under the light of the fire and the headlamp, they saw the guard at the door at first sight, his whole head was smashed by concrete blocks, and there was no hope of rescue at all. When they entered the hall, they met Liu Tao and Zhang Wenhu, who were running out. The two of them had just finished checking the stored dangerous items from the basement, and they didn't take off their protective clothing before they rushed up to save someone.
After learning that there was no one else in Building 3, the firefighters simply checked whether there was still a fire point and ruled out the hidden danger. Liu Tao and Zhang Wenhu saw the armed police soldiers who were following the firefighters, and stepped forward to make a brief negotiation with the squad leader who led the team, informing them of the dangerous items stored in the basement of Building No. 3, and asking them to pay attention to protection during the rescue.
A new type of uranium alloy material is stored in the laboratory, totaling one hundred and twelve grams. The low radiation intensity, high stability and high safety are related to the experiments carried out in Building 2. Li Tao and Zhang Wenhu did not have the authority to know the specific purpose. However, based on relevant experience and speculation, the two concluded that it should be used for some kind of weapon.
After learning the news, the squad leader of the first squad sent two soldiers to guard the basement door with Li Tao and Zhang Wenhu. Personally, he thinks the bombing should be related to the experiment, not a terrorist attack. He urgently reported the situation to the detachment commander who led the team and asked the rescuers to carry out the necessary protection.
After a simple measurement using a Geiger counter in the laboratory, a trace amount of radiation is detected and does not cause harm to the human body for a short period of time. After learning the news, the firefighters at the scene stepped up to extinguish the fire. After an hour of fighting, the fire in Building 2 was effectively controlled, and there was no obvious fire point.
Five firefighters, wearing special protective suits sent urgently, went deep into the ruins of the fire in Building 2, carrying radiation measuring instruments to find and eliminate the source of radiation. They stepped on the ashes and foam of the ground, step by step into the interior of the ruins, and they did not know what they were going to face.
