In the blink of an eye, the entire rescue operation lasted 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, engineers racked their brains and came up with a lot of ways.
On the one hand, they transport the excavated stones and sand to remote areas via 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 dug ground will be more solid and will not collapse easily.
Of course, intelligent robots are currently unable to complete such complex tasks, and many tasks still rely on human beings to remotely control them...
For this rescue operation, the entire central command headquarters has been urgently expanded to 5,000 people!
Their eyes were red one by one. After working continuously for 40 hours, they finally succeeded in digging to a deeper place! A full... five hundred meters deep!
At this time, the big black dog's mood became obviously agitated, and he kept barking "woof, woof", reminding him that there was someone down there! There was someone down there!
Immediately afterwards, the excavation speed began to slow down and become slightly gentler. A large number of heavy-duty machines were replaced by smaller light machines to prevent a shovel from digging directly into two halves...
Many staff responsible for electronic communications are also trying to increase the power of radio waves to communicate with people buried underground.
Time passes minute by minute...
On board the Noah, Security Minister Xu Yun barely closed his eyes. For two days, he had been in a state of great anxiety.
The pressure was so great that with his anxious personality, he wished he could go dig it himself!
Moreover, he alone could not control the scene at all, including everyone else, all the great scientists, engineers, etc., even more so.
These few emergency meetings were a complete mess. Without Yu Yifeng, the core spokesperson, each department seemed to have lost its backbone... none of them were 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, government departments have made the disaster known to the public...
It is impossible to conceal this kind of thing deliberately, especially with more and more engineers and airships being sent down, people who are interested will definitely find something abnormal.
In order to prevent random gossip and rumors from happening, they, the senior management, discussed it for a while and decided to make it public directly.
As a result, a small wave of chaos was directly triggered... Some relatives of the victims burst into tears and were on the verge of emotional collapse. Many ordinary people even urgently wanted to petition to rescue the victims.
Of course, all these petitions were rejected by the military. Isn't this a mess? What use are ordinary people like them? Do they think saving people can't be achieved by digging with their hands?
Fortunately, the chaos was only a small wave and did not become a big deal. 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 dies or cannot be saved, causing a large number of deaths, then...this chaos will immediately erupt, forming an unstoppable torrent that will overthrow all order!
Although the entire civilization may not necessarily fall apart directly, even if it is reintegrated in the future, it will no longer be as cohesive as it is now...
"...Old Yu, you wouldn't die inexplicably like this, would you?" Xu Yunjin sighed directly.
Anyway, he didn't believe that Yu Yifeng, who was just like Xiaoqiang, got into trouble during a project inspection and died in the end...
Their great cause of starry sky has not been completed yet, so leader Yu Yifeng cannot go to see Marx in advance, right?
"If he is really dead, he will be beaten with a machine gun!"
Xu Yunjin thought angrily.
At this moment, with a beep, he received new news from the ground. Xu Yunjin couldn't wait to pick it up.
"What? The first person is found!"
He listened to the satellite phone, his eyes widened, his blood suddenly surged, and his whole face turned red instantly: "How is your physical condition? Are you not injured? And where is Yu Yifeng, how is he?!"
A soldier's voice came from the phone: "...The satellite signals of most people have been able to contact us. Captain Yu should be fine! We can dig them out soon!"
"Okay, that's good!"
Xu Yunjin shouted, his heart suddenly relaxed, and then he collapsed directly on the chair and fell asleep...
This disaster, which lasted 43 hours, was finally completely resolved with the powerful execution of a large number of machines and new human civilization.
In total, seven people died.
Three of them were corroded to death by the bug's acid. The other four were really unlucky. During the final landslide, their power armor was either smashed or they were crushed to death by super large rocks...
There are also 15 people injured to varying degrees, all with broken legs or broken hand bones. Six people were infected by unknown microorganisms because their helmets were slightly damaged, they breathed in the alien atmosphere, and they are receiving isolation treatment in the hospital.
In addition... there are 8 soldiers missing mysteriously. Even the big black dog can't smell where they are buried. The final search work is still going on...
Yu Yifeng has been rescued.
He himself was lucky. He didn't suffer any injuries at all. He was just hungry for two days, which was not a big problem at all.
After just eating a little food and resting for a few hours, he was able to sit at the central command post and read the report.
In this situation, 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 previous 3 people, plus the next 4 people! The deaths of these 7 people made him extremely distressed.
And these eight soldiers, how could they disappear inexplicably like this? It shouldn’t be?!
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, missing 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 being found 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 out loud.
Yu Yifeng was overjoyed when he heard this and jumped up from his seat.
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 extremely 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!"
