"This reporter reported as early as three years ago that the problem of the No. 4 maritime urban planning and a large number of potential fire hazards, but three years later, the reporter of this newspaper made another unannounced visit and found that the problem had not been solved at all, and the dangerous toxic chemicals were concentrated together only for the convenience of transportation, and once they were attacked or an accident occurred, the consequences were unimaginable, but when the reporter interviewed the officials of the Allied Fire Department again, the other party said that the No. 4 maritime city was under the jurisdiction of the local government of North America, and they could only issue a notice. There is no power to enforce ......"

"I know the communication is not smooth, sue me for what you know."

Ling Yu and the others jumped into the car and began to drive rapidly in the direction of Newport, it only took ten minutes to get to Newport from the place where the North Kingston crashed, but this staff officer still told Ling Yu everything he knew.

About a few hours ago, the No. 4 maritime city, which was originally going to refuel Newport, suddenly cut off contact after entering Westcove, and headed directly in the direction of Newport Military Port, and then suddenly began to carry out full electromagnetic suppression of Newport Military Port at the same time as a violent combustion explosion.

The Fourth Fleet's reaction was not unpleasant, and after realizing that this might be an attack by the ACA, it immediately dispatched an underwater attack force to blow up the three engine rooms of City No. 4, but City No. 4 had already blocked the possibility of the Fourth Fleet going to sea.

At this moment, the explosion of an oil storage tank threw a piece of blown metal dome directly onto the deck of the aircraft carrier Mississippi, the flagship of the Fourth Fleet. The quantum communication system of the Newport military port could not work for some reason, and under the electromagnetic suppression, the entire military port lost its command in an instant, although the command center of Newport could barely resist the electronic suppression of the ACA and maintain a certain range of communication, but it did not cover the personal communication system. There is no way to carry out targeted rescue operations in Port City No. 4.

"I have a question, I just calculated, this industrial city has a total of 48 hundred thousand tons of oil storage tanks, as long as they don't explode at the same time, at most Newport and Jamestown will blow up to the sky, you just said more than 100,000 people, what's going on?"

Due to the lack of seats, the only seat was given to Heris, who looked like a child, at Ling Yu's request, and Han Fei and Ling Yu could only stand in the fire truck. Now I don't care about traffic safety, and it is becoming clearer and clearer, under the billowing smoke that covers the sky, the yellow fire glows like the hell gate that is constantly releasing demons.

However, after some calculations, Han Fei still took the trouble to ask the above question.

"It's hundreds of thousands!" Captain Frank, a communications staff officer, and the fire captain turned their heads at the same time and glanced at Han Fei like a monster, of course, the former was amazed by Han Fei's computing ability, and the latter was dissatisfied with Han Fei's bland statement that he had blown up the two cities into the sky. But it was communications staff officer Frank who spoke last, pulling out a tourist map with a burnt corner from a hole in the pocket of his navy uniform. Spread out in front of the two of them, with red and blue strokes on the wind direction, the range of influence, etc.

"The problem is not with the fuel, but with the hazardous chemical storage area on the west side of City Four." Frank drew a picture on the map with his scalded fingers, "City No. 4 is not only an oil refining city, but also a comprehensive petrochemical city. According to the captain of the Newport Port Damage Control Brigade, less than 1,500 meters to the west of the first tank 143 that caught fire and exploded is the hazardous chemical storage area, where there are 150 and more than half a million cubic meters of xylene and other 22 toxic chemicals! More than half of it will become gas! ”

"500,000 cubic meters! Gathered together?! Who is the designer! Pull it out and kill it!! ”

While Ling Yu, a math idiot, was still thinking about how lethal 500,000 cubic meters were, Han Fei almost fell. Such a gaffe expression was rarely seen even by Ling Yu, Han Fei snatched the map from Frank's hand, took out the electronic ruler on his chest and measured it, muttering in his mouth for more than ten seconds, his face turned pale in an instant.

"It's summer...... The sea breeze will blow the poison gas all over the ...... New york...... Connecticut ...... Massachusetts ...... It may even be carried to the opposite shore of Canada by the lake breeze...... Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal......"

Han Fei stared at the map, that map was just a tourist map of Newport, but his brain, which was dozens of times more powerful than ordinary people, had already made up the map of the entire North American region.

"It's not a problem of hundreds of thousands of people at all, okay! Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to evacuate! Let the president die, Ling Yu, this place must be kept no matter what! ”

"You don't need to say it." Ling Yu nodded deeply, then took a breath, looking at the fire captain who had been silent, but his face was also pale, "But more, we still have to rely on professionals." ”

"It's not professional, we're just an amateur fire brigade in North Kingston." The fire chief shook his head and raised his hand to touch his nose.

"Don't underestimate Captain Joe, he was once a firefighting hero who won a medal from the governor."

The young man who was driving interjected, "He's the pride of our North Kingston 217 Fire Station." ”

"My name is Joe, Cecil. Joe. As soon as the young man under his command said it, Captain Qiao shook his head helplessly and introduced himself, but did not talk about more things about himself, but changed the topic, "The fundamental problem of this kind of fire in the chemical area is not to extinguish it, but to close the pipeline." ”

"According to the normal design, all the storage tanks have pipelines underneath, and these lines are usually closed, but since Captain Frank said it was a human attack, it is likely that the attackers have opened all the pipes and destroyed the electric shut-off equipment, as well as the automatic cooling system."

Joe lifted his fiery red fire helmet and sighed softly, "So, the danger comes from two, one is the ambient temperature, if it is constantly baked by flames and high temperature smoke. The refined oil in the oil storage tank will continue to vaporize, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, the pressure will explode. ”

"So you have to constantly spray water to cool down," Frank interjected, "and the firefighting forces of Newport are fully committed, as well as several fire brigades around. In addition to the most basic warship vigilance, the ship's damage management has also boarded the fourth, but the temperature is too high, people can't bear it for too long, and if you take shifts, you will be strictly understaffed. ”

"But cooling down is only one aspect, the other aspect is that the pipes that I mentioned earlier have to be closed." Captain Joe added.

"Layman's excuse," Ling Yu raised his hand, thinking of a key question. "Since these tanks are connected underneath, why doesn't the fire just burn down the tanks and blow up the rest?"

"The refined oil will only burn and will not explode, and the oil vapor will be." Captain Qiao reached out and picked up the half bottle of bottled water on the operating table in front of the fire truck, and gestured, "Now this pipeline system has a hole, and the oil will flow down the pipeline system to the damaged place, and the other oil storage tanks closest to the exploded oil storage tank will drain first." Once the flow is empty to a certain extent, a large amount of oil vapor will be generated. If the temperature of the tank is too high, it will also explode, and the temperature of this tank will explode if it is much lower than the one above. ”

"So, the key issue was to close the connecting valves of the adjacent storage tanks and at the same time to continuously cool down. Avoid further chain explosions. Azov, the young man holding the steering wheel, nodded slightly, and they could already see the military police in naval uniforms on the road for traffic control.

"In addition, there is the problem of flowing fire, and those who underestimate the flowing fire are dead." Ling Yu clearly felt that when Captain Qiao said this. His tone was low, he didn't speak, just exchanged a look with Han Fei.

"Fire trucks go over there!! The temporary fire command center over there! ”

With the familiar MP gendarme holographic text on his head, the allege soldiers dressed in navy blue, white and black camouflage like NPCs in the game waved glow sticks, giving Ling Yu the illusion that he had gone down to another copy.

Soon, however, Ling Yu saw a shed not far away that was made up of several field camouflage nets.

"North Kingston 217 Fire Station is here to report!"

Ling Yu followed Captain Qiao and jumped out of the high fire truck, and then walked directly to the gendarme next to him and showed his ID.

"I am the leader of the 'Prism' squad of the 191st Special Operations Team of the Allied Army, Army Major Ling Yu, who is the current commander?"

"Sir!" The gendarme checked Ling Yu's documents, originally the rank of major had no right to directly intervene in the command, but the authorized unit of Act 0 on the information startled the gendarme, obediently let go of the barricade, and let Ling Yu and the others walk in, "The commander of the base, Admiral Raul, was knocked unconscious by a fragment in the explosion just now, and is being treated, and now he is the deputy commander, Vice Admiral Ramirez, and the commander of the Fourth Fleet, Admiral Feng Zhixin, are jointly commanded. ”

"Understood."

Ling Yu gave a military salute and walked into the command area, while the communications captain Frank followed closely.

"Ling Yu, we need your help now, let's go in and talk about the specific content."

Frank rushed in front of Ling Yu in three steps and two steps, and then led Ling Yu into a tent, in addition to the guards and staff officers in the tent, in front of the map table in the middle, stood a young man, two old and three naval soldiers.

"Captain of the 'Prism' squad of the 191st Special Operations Team of the Allied Army, Army Major Ling Yu, is there anything you need our assistance with?"

"Action Team 191, I've heard of it," an admiral who was obviously an eastern face straightened up and smiled at Ling Yu, although he hadn't seen it, Ling Yu guessed that he was Feng Zhixin, the commander of the Fourth Fleet.

"Einsatzgruppen? Just in time, a big help! Ramirez, the deputy commander of the base on the side, hung his right hand with a bandage, it seemed that the base commander was also next to him when he was smashed by the explosion fragments, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the young brigadier general next to him, "This is Brigadier General Hadiran, the damage control commander of the 'Mississippi', he is currently taking over, and the damage control commander of the base has gone to the front line to personally command." ”

"I've heard about the situation here, how is it now?" Ling Yu nodded, then stretched out his hand and introduced Han Fei, "This is Han Fei, the research institute of the First Academy of Sciences of the Alliance, and the brain domain development TF should be able to help here." ”

Han Fei nodded, and accepted the job.

"Now the situation is like this, we have restored the temperature monitoring system of all the tanks, but the sprinkler system has been completely destroyed," Brigadier General Hadiren is obviously the real commander in this tent, and the two next to him are just human flesh sets, at this time the opinion of a technical non-commissioned officer is more important than a dozen generals, "so we constantly need manpower to cool down the oil storage tanks that have not exploded, and we have to work in shifts, but the key problem is not here, and now we need your help very much." ”

"No problem." Ling Yu nodded.

"The root of the qi ē lies in communication, we have determined that the transmitter for full-band interference of radio waves is on the No. 4 chemical city, and our current ECCM capability can only ensure a few point-to-point transmissions, and the signal quality is still very poor, so you must destroy this signal jamming device, otherwise we will not be able to deploy our firefighting forces at all, and we will not be able to deal with emergencies."

"Where is the jamming device?" Ling Yu looked at the map and had a bad premonition. (To be continued......)
