Simulation Game: Crisis Management
Chapter 678 - 305: Confirming Safety
As soon as the words were spoken.
Zou Lei led the search team, charging towards the building ruins at the forefront.
The entire building ruins were about four or five meters high, composed entirely of shattered bricks and cement walls, with load-bearing walls broken into several pieces and sharp, exposed metal rebars around the edges, making it easy to get scratched if one wasn’t careful.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Cluck!"
This time, the Xia International Rescue Team brought along six search and rescue dogs, led by dog handlers like Gu Ji.
A dog’s sense of smell is 1200 times that of a human’s, capable of distinguishing various subtle scents in the air. Some dogs can even detect faint odors that sophisticated instruments cannot measure, and their hearing is also exceptionally acute.
Dogs like Xiao Jian, who have received professional training for search and rescue, can swiftly enter search mode.
And sniff out humans buried under the rubble.
"Woof!"
At this moment, Xiao Jian jumped onto a large cement slab, sniffed around a crack, then barked once and sat down on the spot.
"It seems that Xiao Jian has found the target!" Gu Ji carefully climbed to the crack along the edge of the cement slab, turned on the high-powered flashlight on his safety helmet, and suddenly discovered a human face trapped inside, "It’s a person!"
"Rescue team, hurry up!"
Following the orders from Han Yue, Wang Yuexi and several rescue team members quickly crawled over. One of them lost their footing and almost slipped off the slab.
Luckily, a companion caught hold of him; otherwise, his calf might have been pierced by rebar.
After assessing the scene, Wang Yuexi evaluated, "This position is difficult for a jack to access, let’s use a hydraulic rod, and then rely on human strength to push the slab away, how about it?"
"Okay!"
The rescue team got to work immediately.
A young man positioned a hydraulic rod in the middle of the crack, continuously pumping the handle. As the rod extended, the crack was pushed wider and wider.
Until the fragments below started to shift at a certain angle.
At that moment, Wang Yuexi shouted, "Push together!"
Gu Ji also joined the group of helpers, with four or five young engineering soldiers exerting force together. It was truly impressive as they managed to push the one-ton cement slab to the side.
One of the rescue personnel quickly crawled into the pit, placing his fingers on the figure’s carotid artery, "There’s a pulse, he’s still alive!"
Gu Ji took a closer look. Although the figure was covered in dust from head to toe, he could still tell that this person was not from the Xia Kingdom.
"Check for any severe injuries, especially in the spine and neck area."
Nonetheless, they came to Pakistan for humanitarian aid, and regardless of whether it’s someone from Xia or Pakistan, they would rescue anyone trapped in the quake zone.
After giving a quick reminder to the others, he took Xiao Jian and rushed to the next area.
This ruin must have previously been a restaurant because Gu Ji found some flattened stainless steel basins and broken porcelain pieces among the rubble.
If he remembered correctly, two people from the Xia Kingdom were working in a restaurant.
Just as Gu Ji stepped on one of the debris slabs, he suddenly seemed to hear something coming from below, "Xiao Jian!"
So, he let the search dog go forward to investigate, and sure enough, there were sounds heard.
"I’ve detected knocking sounds here, there must be a living person below, and they’re very conscious!"
"This location is buried too deeply, and the surrounding brick wall structure is very sensitive. It may take a lot of time."
"Technical team, bring over the detector."
Finding the rescue difficult, a team member had Han Yue have the technical team bring up a nylon briefcase, containing a cavity detector.
This equipment is similar to the sonar detector used in the Indian floods checkpoint before.
However, it utilizes electromagnetic principles, forming images of caves and cracks based on the electromagnetic differences of different material structures. It’s specialized equipment for finding underground goafs, cavities, disturbed soil, tunnels, ant holes, and other geotechnical bodies.
The portable cavity detector in front of them, even if domestically made, costs over 200,000 each.
This was part of the reason the tech and logistics team leaders were a bit down about the bus falling off the mountain incident, given that the resources and equipment they brought were quite costly this time.
As the technician operated it.
The screen soon displayed the 3D structure diagram of the voids beneath the ruins, almost perfectly illustrating every crack formed by the interlocking rubble after the earthquake collapse.
Gu Ji squinted his eyes.
Having just acquired the geological disaster rescue mark, he quickly discerned from the rescue knowledge gained in the disaster domain that excavating from the northern side of the ruins, diagonally downwards, is the simplest and safest approach, so he instinctively pointed to a spot on the structural diagram.
Coincidentally, Han Yue also reached out and pointed at the screen at that moment.
Their fingers met halfway, near the screen.
Seeing this, Gu Ji scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, gesturing for the other to take charge.
Han Yue raised an eyebrow and glanced at him meaningfully, then opened his mouth to announce the rescue location, almost identical to Gu Ji’s analysis.
"Let’s start now. Work quickly, but prioritize safety, especially that slab; a jack must hold it from below to prevent secondary collapse, understand?"
"Understood!"
The rescue team prepared to take action immediately.
Everyone picked up shovels, pickaxes, and crowbars to join the excavation team, including Gu Ji.
Just as he was preparing to rush over and start working together.
