Chapter 221: Charge!
Because things are so big, the web is already flooded with a lot of news.
On the bucket sound, the explosion of the crude oil storage tank was on the hot list for the first time.
Many people have uploaded videos of the explosion, which is full of flames, black smoke, and a sea of rolling fire everywhere, like the end of the world.
"Oh my God, it's terrible, please be safe."
"I know this place, it's a factory on the other side of the port, and I remember there are a lot of storage tanks next to it, and there are a lot of chemicals stored in them!"
"I have relatives over there, and I just called to ask, saying that the residents next to me have been evacuated, and many people were knocked away by the sudden blast wave, which is terrifying."
"With such a big fire, the firefighter uncles must be safe."
"! Go to a few and come back a few for me! No one is allowed to be missing! ”
Countless netizens are in the video, praying for the fire and rescue personnel of the explosion accident.
Meanwhile.
Hundreds of firefighters at the scene are fighting the fire around the No. 1 storage tank, opening the road, and cooling the tank.
Although there are now dozens of sprinkler guns fighting the fire at the same time, this is a drop in the bucket for the sea of red fire with no end in sight.
And, to make matters worse, as time went on, the firefighters began to lose their time.
"Captain! Out of water!! ”
"We're out of water too!!"
"Captain! The water pipe burst! We're trapped! I would like support!! ”
Firefighters roared in the fire.
Seeing this, the captains of the various detachments hurriedly called the headquarters.
"All the personnel of the second squadron obeyed the order, and now immediately rush to the No. 1 reserve tank to support the first squadron and replace the people for me!"
"Also, the third squadron will immediately send people to the water supply area at sea, I need you to ensure the stability of the water supply at all times, even if the water pipe bursts, you have to find a way to connect me!!"
"Fourth Squadron, you continue to guard the chemical tank farm for sand burial, and you can't let the fire spread!"
After receiving the feedback, Fu Zhicheng, the commander-in-chief of the control room, responded quickly.
"Grass! Why hasn't the support of the Fire Department come yet! Hurry up and give me a rush! ”
Looking at the bad scene in the surveillance, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
Long after the accident, they had been fighting here for more than an hour.
The fire squadrons that were close had already rushed over, but there were still not enough people.
"According to calculations, it will take 10 minutes for the fire department to arrive at the earliest."
Soon, the operator gave an answer from the data of the artificial intelligence.
Hearing this, before the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng could speak, the situation on the scene suddenly changed!
Bang!
With a low muffled sound coming from the No. 1 crude oil storage tank, the fire squadron closest to the tank sensed that something was wrong!
"Quick! Evacuate! Hurry back!! ”
"It's going to explode! Retreat to the back!! ”
All the personnel of this fire squadron are shouting wildly.
However, as soon as they finished speaking, the black crude oil had already flowed through the entire sewer, and the flames followed.
Boom Boom Boom~~~~!!
In a deafening roar, pillars of fire burst out of the sewers, and manhole covers rushed into the air.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying shock wave swept the scene, and dozens of firefighters were instantly swept away, directly causing tragic casualties.
Looking at this sudden scene, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng's eyes were red.
However, before he could make a move, the accident happened again!
I saw that the pillar of fire that originally rose from the sewer was suddenly sucked back weirdly.
"Report! According to the data of artificial intelligence, the temperature of the sewers around the No. 1 storage tank is increasing exponentially, and it is expected to explode in one minute, with an explosion range of 100 meters and a power equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of 170,000 grenades, please be careful!! ”
At that moment, the data analysts suddenly spoke loudly and hurriedly.
listen
When the news came, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng's pupils shrank sharply, and he hurriedly yelled at the walkie-talkie: "Quick! All firefighters immediately evacuated the No. 1 reserve tank 100 meters away! Evacuate!! ”
As the order was issued, a team of firefighters did not hesitate at all, and directly dragged their wounded comrades to retreat quickly.
A minute later.
The crimson flames broke through the ground, and the pillars of fire soared into the sky, and a violent explosion rang out!
Boom Boom Boom~~~~!!
In the next second, a shockwave that was even more violent than before struck again.
In an instant, more than a dozen fire trucks that were working were overturned in an instant, and they were directly burned to charcoal, leaving only black wreckage.
The explosion zone in the middle of the accident is the most severely damaged area.
After two explosions, a crescent-shaped crater with a diameter of 15 meters and a depth of 1 meter, and a large circular crater with a diameter of 97 meters and a depth of 3 meters appeared on the ground.
All buildings within 150 meters of the crater were destroyed.
The perimeter is littered with car wrecks, broken shipping containers, and buildings that have been burned to ashes.
Throughout the scene, the painful howls and heart-rending shouts of the firefighters were endless, like purgatory on earth.
At this time, the scorching flames were still burning wildly, and there was a sea of red fire flowing everywhere, and as far as the eye could see, it was like an underground magma world.
Although the explosion did not cause any more casualties among firefighters, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was close to getting out of control.
It can be said that this explosion directly made the previous efforts of many firefighters almost completely in vain.
Moreover, it is even more unfortunate that the firefighters of the 4th Squadron, who are sticking to the chemical tank farm, have been trapped in this sea of fire, unable to get in from the outside and from the inside.
Just when the scene was in chaos, the support unit of the fire department finally arrived!
Soon, 143 fire trucks and more than 1,000 firefighters quickly arrived at the scene.
Under the leadership of the fire chief He Chang, thousands of firefighters began to rescue and extinguish fires in an orderly manner.
Hundreds of injured firefighters were rushed to hospital.
Others started extinguishing the fire.
A moment later, more than 1,000 firefighters gathered hundreds of water spray guns in the form of a long snake formation, formed a water dragon, and launched an attack on the red sea of fire around the No. 1 reserve tank!
Under the attack of hundreds of water spray guns, the sea of red flames, which was still spreading outward, was finally suppressed.
Then, straight waterways, like lifelines, slowly appeared in the red sea of fire, and unswervingly spread in the direction of the No. 1 reserve tank.
Seeing that the situation at the scene was gradually stabilizing, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng was also relieved.
He turned to look at the data analyst next to him and asked, "How's the situation with Reserve Tank 1 now?" ”
"According to the data of artificial intelligence, its crude oil storage tank is currently delivering crude oil to the No. 1 storage tank, and we have to let people in and manually close the valve within four and a half hours, otherwise we will not be able to extinguish this fire."
"Moreover, once the time is exceeded, these six crude oil storage tanks will completely explode, covering hundreds of kilometers, and the power is equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of 20 atomic bombs."
"At that time, both our country and the surrounding coastal countries will suffer serious harm."
The data analyst's tone trembled.
Hearing the consequences of this horror, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng's face was also a little pale.
At this moment, Liu Yang, the captain of the team, walked in slowly and said in a deep voice: "Commander-in-chief, let's go, let's go, there is still a glimmer of hope, if you don't go, there will be no hope at all." ”
The commander-in-chief, Fu Zhicheng, ignored him, but looked at the person in charge of the reserve tank next to him, and roared angrily: "Think, you think of other ways for Lao Tzu!" Manually close the 80,000-rpm valve! Is that humanly capable of doing this! Yes!! ”
Ma Yuan, the person in charge of the tank farm, twitched at the corner of his mouth and said: "Actually, there is a way to close the valve without manually." ”
"What a way! You fuck you
Let's talk about it! Why did you go earlier!! ”
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng was so anxious that he couldn't wait to give him a slap.
"If you want to close the valve electrically, someone has to go in and power the valve, and then you can close the linked valve."
Ma Yuan, the person in charge of the tank farm, hurriedly said: "But now you have seen this situation, the power generation vehicle can't enter the sea of fire at all, and no one dares to go to the technicians." ”
"I talked to the technicians before, and I was willing to give him 10,000 yuan, but they didn't go, they said, they still have wives and children, and they are afraid of dying inside......"
"! As far as their technicians have wives and children! Don't our firefighters?! ”
"Don't they know that these reserve tanks have exploded and everyone can't run!!"
Commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng roared angrily.
Silent.
Deathly silence.
Everyone knows very well that with such a big fire, basically whoever goes in will die for life.
Liu Yang said again with a firm expression: "Commander-in-chief, there is no other way, let's go, we are not afraid of death!" ”
"But I'm afraid!"
Commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng's eyes were red, and he looked up at the tent.
It's easy to go, but how many can survive?
It's all about getting people in and going to die.
If this order is from him, how will he face the families of these firefighters in the future?
However, he now has no other choice.
After a while, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Go in, I agree." ”
Time is running out now, and the more it drags on, the more serious it gets.
As the commander-in-chief, he must do his best to prevent this huge accident from happening!
Even if someone dies because of this, he must arrange it this way!
The atmosphere was solemn to the extreme.
After getting the approval, Liu Yang smiled, saluted everyone, and then strode out of the command center.
"All of them! Salute! ”
Looking at Liu Yang's distant back, the commander-in-chief Fu Zhicheng yelled with tears in his eyes.
Boom~
In an instant, everyone present saluted Liu Yang with a solemn expression and sent him away.
At this time, outside the command center, there were already two firefighters, each of whom was fully armed.
Liu Yang walked out, and everyone looked at him, their eyes resolute and their faces calm.
Seeing this, Liu Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and grabbed a kid with a childish face, kicked it away, and scolded: "Hong Jie, *** an only child came over to join in the fun, and the four of you, all of you get out of here." ”
As he spoke, Liu Yang pulled out a kid in the team who grew up eating a hundred family meals, as well as three young people with wives at home.
"Captain, I'm going too, I've written a suicide note!"
Hong Jie stubbornly shouted.
"Fuck you! Which of the brothers here is not older than you, and which one is not your senior, and you still want to cut the line? Get out of the way! ”
Liu Yang scolded and gave Hong Jie a kick to each of them, and kicked them all out of the team.
"Captain! You can't leave us behind! We're going too! ”.br>
"That's it! Why don't you let us go, we're going to go!! ”
Hong Jie and the others choked up and yelled.
"Fuck! You're the captain, I'm the captain, Shi Quan! What are you still doing in a daze, come with me! ”
Liu Yang roared angrily.
"Yes! Captain! ”
The remaining twenty firefighters came out of the crowd and followed Liu Yang's footsteps with a resolute expression.
"Captain! You can't do that! ”
Hong Jie and the others suddenly became anxious, and shouted with tears streaming down their faces.
Liu Yang didn't reply and said: "Hong Jie, in a few days it will be my girl's birthday, I have a little white dress in the cabinet, if I can't get out, you can help me give the skirt to my daughter, you know?" ”
"Nope! I don't help! I'm waiting for you outside, captain, if you want to give it, you can give it yourself! ”
In the rear, Hong Jie wiped away his tears
, stubbornly yelled loudly.
Liu Yang didn't hear Hong Jie's words, he looked at the red sea of fire in front of him, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Brothers, set up a water gun!" Let's fight back! ”
"Yes!"
Twenty firefighters roared in unison, working in pairs, carrying eight spray guns to clear the way.
Eight tiny water dragons rolled in the sea of fire, and a shallow lifeline rushed out of the middle.
However, what makes people feel desperate is that the crimson sea of fire seems to have no end, and as soon as it is washed away a little waterway, it is immediately covered by the flowing fire around it.
Even, the original retreat behind everyone was blocked by the sea of fire again.
It can be said that now Liu Yang and the others have no way except to rush forward.
Because they have been isolated in the flames.
Therefore, they can only rush to the valve as soon as possible before the water cannon is burned out.
Otherwise, everyone's efforts will be in vain!
Thinking of this, Liu Yang's face changed, and he hurriedly took three other firefighters who specialized in turning valves, and walked quickly to the front of everyone in the face of the monstrous heat wave.
Time passed bit by bit, and the eight water dragons became weaker and weaker.
Bang!
Suddenly, a dull sound sounded, and a water spray gun was overwhelmed by the sea of fire, and the water pipe behind it burst directly.
"Quick! Faster! We're more than halfway there! ”
Liu Yang's expression froze, and he hurriedly urged.
Sixteen firefighters did not speak, but all pressed close together, narrowed the defensive circle, and continued to open the way.
However, what made Liu Yang's heart sink was that the burst of the water spray gun just now was like some kind of signal, so that the remaining seven water spray guns began to explode one after another.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more voices sounded, and there were only four water dragons left to open the way, and the momentum was getting weaker and weaker.
At this time, the special fireproof clothing of the outermost firefighters has begun to catch fire.
"If you don't have enough water, save the way, don't pour it on us."
A firefighter on the periphery, with a smile on his face, stopped his comrades from trying to extinguish the fire for him.
"Brothers, I'll go first, you have to close the valve for me, or I won't be able to spare you."
The firefighter smiled freely, and the fireproof suit began to catch fire violently.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yang's eyes at the front turned red, tears came out of his eyes, and the speed under his feet was faster.
Sneer~~~!!
However, at this moment, several water dragons attacked from behind everyone, directly forcing the surrounding sea of fire back.
The fireproof suit of the peripheral firefighter was also completely wet, and he was completely out of the crisis.
This sudden scene made Liu Yang and the others stop, and they all looked back in surprise.
I saw a large army suddenly catching up from behind, and the huge life channel composed of more than 20 water dragons directly connected the back road of Liu Yang and others!
