Zhao Ye woke up again on the way to the Third Hospital of Sichuan Province. The shaking of the military vehicle made him feel the desire to vomit as soon as he woke up.
With the help of medical staff, Zhao Ye vomited several times and finally stabilized.
"How is the situation on the front line? Are there any casualties?" At this time, Zhao Ye had already remembered the previous scene. It was really terrible.
The location they were at at that time was at least two or three kilometers away from the tunnel. At such a long distance, he suffered such injuries. One can imagine how much energy he must have had at that time.
"As of the time we set out, forty-two soldiers had died and more than 700 people were seriously injured." The person who spoke was Zhao Dashuan, who was in charge of the security work. Now he is no longer young, but he has followed Zhao Ye for a long time, and Zhao Ye
I don’t want to change anyone anymore.
"So many casualties? Oh, it's all my fault. The soldiers should have been kept farther away at that time." Zhao Ye blamed himself very much, feeling that he was really unforgivable for making such a stupid mistake.
Later, Zhao Ye learned that the reason why there were so many casualties this time was mainly because many people, like Zhao Ye, lay directly on the ground. For example, Zhao Dashuan and the soldiers in the security squad, although they were all with Zhao Ye,
But they all had combat experience. When encountering this situation, they subconsciously raised their bodies to prevent direct contact between the ground and the chest and abdomen, thus avoiding direct damage from the shock wave.
There are still too many recruits in the engineering army. Many recruits joined the engineering army as soon as they joined the army and have no actual combat experience. When the early shock wave arrived, they subconsciously lowered their bodies and pressed them tightly to the ground.
Instead, it caused more damage.
Commander Chen blamed himself even more for this. He felt that this was all his dereliction of duty and did not allow the soldiers in the unit to master the methods of avoiding shock wave damage. For this reason, he wrote an inspection to his superiors. After handling the things at the scene,
He locked himself in a solitary room.
Zhao Ye knew that he should not be held responsible. After arriving at the hospital, he also submitted a situation explanation and self-examination to his superiors.
In the end, in this accident, Mr. Chen was punished for lax training.
Zhao Ye lay in the hospital for a full month. In fact, his injury healed within a few days. However, the doctor did not allow him to be discharged from the hospital, and Zhao Dashuan next to him even disagreed. In order to prevent Zhao Ye from escaping, he even lived with Zhao Ye
I got into a room and watched him 24 hours a day.
Zhao Ye had no choice but to use the military network to learn about the news on the scene every day. The cave entrance erupted for a full month. In the first few days, the flames spurted out were as high as several thousand degrees, and the tunnel expanded from about ten meters to ten meters.
After reaching hundreds of meters, the temperature of the ejection slowly dropped. Now, the eruption at the tunnel entrance is very weak, and the temperature has dropped to about 30 degrees.
After Zhao Ye was discharged from the hospital, he rushed to the scene as soon as possible. By the time he arrived at the scene, the engineering team had already begun the work of reinforcing the hole.
Zhao Ye came here and used the system to detect the situation inside the tunnel. He found that the entire tunnel had been baked by high-temperature flames and had become extremely solid. In many places, it had even turned into glass.
The expedition team's camp has also been established, and of course Liva's team has also arrived here.
Through various detection equipment, the situation inside the tunnel has gradually been brought to the command center. The exploration robot, relying on crawlers and cables, has explored the interior for several kilometers, and set up detection stations at the deepest point it can reach to monitor the interior.
air data.
After collecting data for more than a month, the command center finally made the decision to dispatch an expedition team internally.
The first expedition team consists of eighteen people. They will ride in infantry fighting vehicles with three-defense functions and advance as far inside as possible. When road conditions do not allow vehicles to move forward, they will then go on foot.
Their equipment was all designed by Zhao Ye in the past two years, and the most advanced one is a four-legged robot. This robot is powered by a metal hydrogen battery. When fully charged, it is enough for the robot to operate for a month.
.
The main function of this robot is to act as a donkey for the expedition team, helping the expedition team to carry supplies. Therefore, it also has a vivid name, eDonkey.
The eDonkey is controlled by Zhixin, and the team members who travel with it are responsible for the command and control of the eDonkey through their helmets. This eDonkey can carry a maximum load of three hundred kilograms and run for a month. Of course, the battery is as big as a gas tank
.
The expedition team of eighteen people had six eDonkeys transporting supplies for them. Among these eighteen people, there were two geological team members, two communication soldiers, and two medical soldiers. The others were all top soldiers in the expedition team.
During this period, Zhao Ye often stayed with them, first to guide them in using new equipment, and secondly to popularize some relevant knowledge to them, hoping that they would have mental preparations and solutions when encountering similar difficulties.
Eucalyptus.
"Captain Wu, this mission is very arduous. You have to remember three points. First, if you can't do anything, retreat immediately. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Second, keep the communication open. Our communication repeater will work in complex situations.
In such an environment, the communication range can only be maintained at a few hundred meters. You must always pay attention to the signal data, install new communication repeaters in a timely manner, and don’t worry about the equipment. We have more. Third, pay attention to special creatures. In
It’s hard to say that there won’t be any weird things in a place like this that has been sealed for millions of years. Be careful when encountering it, try not to come into contact, and report it in time if you are injured.”
"Commissioner Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely remember these. I know that the main task this time is to find a kind of mineral deposit, and we will definitely be able to complete the task." Captain Wu spoke in a very steady tone, which shows that his
He has a stable psychological quality and is a captain's material.
"Captain Wu, forget about that mission to find mineral deposits. The mineral deposits we need are at least several hundred kilometers away from the entrance of this cave. You will definitely not be able to touch them now." Zhao Ye had to pour cold water on them. Now
These soldiers would really fight tooth and nail to win the mission. Zhao Ye didn't want them to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Soon, eighteen people were ready at the entrance of the cave. They would take three infantry tanks and enter the large cave.
It is also dangerous for a crawler-type infantry fighting vehicle to walk in a tunnel with this slope. Although in theory, this kind of crawler-type infantry fighting vehicle can climb steep slopes of more than 50 degrees, that is still theoretical after all. In reality,
Really, anything could happen. What Zhao Ye is most worried about is that these vehicles will suddenly slide down. By then, not even gods can save them.
Fortunately, the driver's skills were high enough. After a smooth journey, the vehicle arrived ten kilometers away from the cave entrance. Going forward, the ground became steeper, and the vehicle could not go any further.
Gone.
"Comrades, get out of the car and establish a forward base." Behind the butt of the last car, there is a steel cable. There is a thick cable tied to this steel cable. This car will not be moving for a while.
After it goes out, it will be left here to serve as a fulcrum for the forward base and provide information support to the expedition team.
After unloading the supplies on the vehicle, several team members installed high-power searchlights, beacons, cameras and other equipment here. After checking each other's supplies, Captain Wu reported to the headquarters outside through the intercom that he was about to set off.
