Chapter 251 Successful Rescue
In a blink of an eye, the entire rescue operation has lasted for 40 hours.
Thousands of excavators dug frantically and finally dug out a huge cone with a diameter of 1.3 kilometers and a depth of 500 meters!
Even... the ground collapsed twice!
In order to prevent the ground from collapsing again, the engineers racked their brains and came up with a lot of ways.
On the one hand, they transported the excavated stones and sand to distant areas by airships.
On the other hand, a steady stream of special cement was transported from afar and poured directly on the excavated ground.
In this way, the excavated ground is more solid and will not collapse easily.
Of course, intelligent robots cannot complete such a complex task for the time being, and many tasks still rely on humans to remotely control them behind the scenes...
For this rescue operation, the entire central command has been urgently expanded to 5,000 people!
They worked hard one by one, and after 40 hours of continuous work, they finally succeeded in digging a deeper place! A full... 500 meters deep!
At this time, the big black dog's mood also became obviously agitated, and he kept barking, prompting that there was someone below! There is someone below!
Then, the excavation speed began to slow down and become slightly gentler. A large number of heavy machines were replaced with smaller light machines to prevent a shovel from digging down and directly digging people in half...
Many staff responsible for electronic communications also tried to increase the power of radio waves to communicate with the people buried underground.
Time passed by...
On the Noah, Security Minister Xu Yun hardly closed his eyes. For two days, he has been in a very anxious state.
The pressure is too great. With his anxious personality, he wants to go down and dig!
Moreover, he can't control the situation alone, including all the other people, all the great scientists, engineers, etc., can't control the situation.
These emergency meetings were simply in a mess. Without Yu Yifeng, the core spokesperson, each department seemed to have lost its backbone...all of them were no longer as smart and capable as before.
This is not only a lack of ability, but also a lack of trust and tacit understanding.
In addition, in the two days after the accident, the government department had made the disaster public...
It is impossible to conceal such a thing deliberately, especially when more and more engineers and airships are sent down, people with ulterior motives will definitely find abnormalities.
In order to prevent the occurrence of messy gossip and various rumors, the senior officials discussed for a while and chose to make it public directly.
As a result, a small wave of chaos was directly triggered...Some relatives of the victims cried and made a fuss, and their emotions were close to collapse. Many ordinary people were eager to petition to save people.
Of course, all these petitions were rejected by the military. Isn't this making trouble? What's the use of ordinary people like them? Do they think that saving people can't be done by digging with their hands?
Fortunately, the chaos was only a small wave, and it didn't make a big fuss, and it soon calmed down...But Xu Yunjin knew clearly that they did not dissipate, but were hidden in people's hearts.
If Yu Yifeng really died or people could not be rescued, causing a large number of deaths, then...this chaos would immediately erupt, forming an unstoppable flood, and all order would be washed away!
Although the entire civilization may not fall apart directly, even if it is reorganized in the future, it will not have the cohesion it has now...
"...Old Yu, you won't die inexplicably like this, right?" Xu Yunjin sighed directly.
Anyway, he didn't believe that Yu Yifeng, like Xiaoqiang, would die because of an engineering inspection, and then something went wrong...
Their starry sky undertaking has not been completed yet, and Yu Yifeng, the leader, can't go to see Marx in advance, right?
"If he really dies, he will be whipped with a machine gun!"
Xu Yunjin thought angrily.
At this time, with a "beep", he received new news from the ground. Xu Yunjin couldn't wait to pick it up.
"What? The first person was found!"
He listened to the satellite phone, his eyes widened, his heart suddenly surged, and his whole face flushed instantly: "How is your physical condition, are you not injured? And Yu Yifeng, how is he?!"
A soldier's voice came from the phone: "... Most people's satellite signals have been contacted, Captain Yu should be fine! We will be able to dig them out soon!"
"Okay, that's good!"
Xu Yunjin shouted, his heart suddenly relaxed, and then he collapsed on the chair and fell asleep...
This disaster lasted 43 hours, and was finally completely resolved under the powerful execution of a large number of machines and the new human civilization.
A total of... 7 people died.
Among them, 3 people were corroded to death by the acid of insects. The other 4 people were really unlucky. In the process of the final landslide, they were either smashed in the power armor or crushed to death by super-large stones...
There were 15 people injured to varying degrees, all with broken legs or broken hands. 6 people were infected by unknown microorganisms because their helmets were slightly damaged and they breathed in the alien atmosphere. They are receiving isolation treatment in the hospital.
In addition... 8 soldiers mysteriously disappeared, and even the big black dog couldn't smell where they were buried. The final search is still going on...
Yu Yifeng has been rescued.
He himself was lucky. He was not injured at all. He was just hungry for two days, which was not a big problem at all.
After just a little food and a few hours' rest, he was able to sit down at Central Command and read reports.
In this case, there are still a lot of unresolved follow-up issues. Even if he is allowed to take a break, he will not be able to take it easy.
He looked at the rescue report, frowning, and felt complicated. Seven people were dead...
The 3 people from before, plus the 4 people behind! The deaths of these seven people simply made him feel extremely distressed.
And these eight soldiers, why have they disappeared inexplicably? Shouldn't it? !
Even if they go out on an adventure, they can't run too far in a short time. They should be buried not far away... Why are they missing?
In this case, disappearance has a high probability of meaning death, which is just a better way of saying it. Although the search team is still going on, the probability of actually finding it is getting smaller and smaller.
He sighed softly.
"Captain! Captain! It's not good! No... it's a good thing!" A soldier suddenly stumbled into the office, out of breath, and said incoherently.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Yu Yifeng did not blame him, but asked directly: "Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!"
"Then... those eight people, the eight soldiers who were missing... appeared in the F7 area 130 kilometers away, and have been contacted by the satellite system! They are still alive, they are still alive!" The soldier looked excited and hesitated. , and finally yelled directly.
Yu Yifeng was overjoyed when he heard this and jumped up from his position.
He couldn't understand why these people went to the F7 area. Did they find their own way out?
Anyway...it's always a good thing to survive!
The reaction in his mind was very fast, and he gave two orders in succession: "Quick, send the nearest airship to pick them up!"
"Also... the rescue work can be stopped! Everyone has been working for so long, please rest! Everyone have a good sleep!"
