Chapter 219 The transition between old and new coexisting
Raccoon City.
New York.
Los Angeles.
Ranked according to population, productivity, culture, technology, living standards, etc., the above three cities are the top three in North America.
As the location of Umbrella's headquarters, Raccoon City is not only number one in North America, but also number one in the world, and even in UEG's entire sphere of influence.
Although New York and Los Angeles are overshadowed by Raccoon City, these two cities are also the top priority of UEG.
What is more distinctive about Los Angeles than Raccoon City and New York is its "chaos".
As the name suggests, the gap between the rich and the poor in Los Angeles is serious. The rich areas have more police to maintain law and order, but the slums are full of gangs, and fights, robberies and rapes occur frequently.
Before the establishment of UEG, even during the day, residents did not dare to walk freely through neighborhoods with disorderly conduct.
After UEG was established.
With the promulgation of the new constitution and laws, coupled with the strong official support of the UEG, the police began to actively intervene in neighborhoods with relatively chaotic law and order. Public opinion was secretly controlled by Umbrella to prevent the police from being maliciously criticized by public opinion during normal law enforcement.
At the same time, UEG has invested a large amount of funds in infrastructure, public education and other aspects, as well as the rapid development of science and technology, which has greatly improved the security of Los Angeles.
The same is true in most parts of the world.
Today in Los Angeles, the blue sky is cloudless, but the scorching summer sun is high, making the maximum temperature expected to exceed the 40 mark.
The first impression from a high altitude view is that Los Angeles as a whole is not much different from what it was a few years ago, and it seems that no earth-shaking changes have occurred.
If you observe closely at low altitude, you can find that there is a complete aerial rail system in the city. There are also many airships shuttled between high-rise buildings and above each block.
Most of these airships that travel along fixed routes belong to the police, municipal government and other government departments, while a few are private civilian airships.
After all, Umbrella only opened its sales channels for civilian airships in March 2012, less than half a year ago on August 3, so the quantity is small, and the price is prohibitive.
On city streets, holographic technology has become extremely cheap. Advertisements, news, and road signs are all displayed by holographic technology.
Modern technology is combined with old-fashioned buildings. Although it is not as neatly planned as Mars City or other colonial cities, the coexistence of old and new feels comfortable.
Los Angeles, and most cities on Earth, are in this transitional period.
After working hours and due to the high temperature, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets and the traffic was not too crowded. There were actually many students on summer vacation gathered near the beach in the southwest.
Everything seemed peaceful and peaceful.
But in a city like Los Angeles with a population of more than six million, accidents are inevitable.
East of downtown.
A serious traffic accident occurred on Route 105, which runs through the Linwood neighborhood, completely paralyzing the road from east to west.
The cause was a continuous rear-end collision between six vehicles. The subsequent vehicles hurriedly evaded, but many vehicles lost control and crashed into the central guardrail and green belt.
"Move the car! Move the car!"
"Brother, don't sleep, wake up, the rescue boat is coming soon!"
"Quick! Come and help!"
Drivers and passengers who were not affected spontaneously came to the most serious areas to provide help before official rescue arrived.
But soon, there were two airships patrolling nearby, painted in black and white, and landed in a wide area nearby.
The airship opened the hatches on both sides, and more than a dozen police officers in black uniforms quickly poured out of the cabin, half of them carrying firefighting tools and first-aid medications.
Several police officers immediately began to direct traffic and let the vehicles that were not affected by the accident leave, so as to free up more space for subsequent airships to land.
The police officers, who carried tools and drugs, dispersed the enthusiastic people who wanted to continue to provide assistance with good intentions, and launched a more professional rescue to prevent the trapped driver and passengers from suffering secondary injuries.
After the first batch of police officers launched the rescue, within two minutes, a large airship belonging to the fire department also arrived at the scene of the accident.
With the assistance of nearly 30 firefighters, the pressure on the first batch of police officers was greatly reduced.
Immediately afterwards, two aircraft painted in white, resembling a widened and enlarged version of the Yuguo, also appeared in the sky above Highway 105.
Umbrella's red and white umbrella logo and the words "Los Angeles General Hospital Emergency Boat" are printed on the belly.
After landing, the tail hatch unfolds.
Emergency doctors and nurses in white coats and green vests pushed several emergency trolleys out of the cabin and transferred the most seriously injured people to the rescue boats, preparing to perform operations directly on site.
—————
…
A few minutes later.
The interior of one of the emergency boats.
The cabin is divided into several compartments laterally, and the cabin closest to the tail hatch and the largest space has three "operating areas" in sequence.
The emergency cart can be fixed in the center of the area to serve as a temporary surgical platform. Several small robotic arms are installed above the cabin, and the bulkhead is equipped with complete medical equipment.
now.
The pilot closed the doors on both sides of the cabin, and the air filtration and purification system in the cabin provided a sterile environment that was no less than a Class 1 operating room for the doctors and nurses using the three operating areas.
Surgery area No. 1.
Lying on the emergency cart was a woman between 25 and 30 years old who fell into coma after being injected with anesthesia. The clothes on her abdomen were cut off, and her skin was covered with large pieces of solidified biofoam.
The woman was transferred to the emergency boat with a large wound on her abdomen, but the first arriving police officers used biofoam to stop the bleeding and successfully kept the woman alive until now.
An emergency doctor wearing a white surgical suit and three nurses are performing surgery on a woman. The doctor and nurse can directly obtain the woman's physiological state through the holographic glasses they wear.
After just observing for a few seconds, the doctor simply said: "Remove foam, disinfect, use forceps."
The three nurses performed the procedure silently. After completing the above procedure, they cooperated tacitly with the doctor to quickly and accurately remove the debris from the woman's body. The doctor then personally controlled the robotic arm and sutured the wound for the woman.
After they completed the operation on the injured female patient in the No. 1 operation area, the doctors and nurses in No. 2 and No. 3 also completed the operation one after another.
Next, the nurses continued to take care of the three injured people who fell into coma.
The doctors entered the general cabin, completed the disinfection procedure, took off their disposable surgical gowns, and came to the tail hatch one after another.
"Huh...!" While waiting for the hatch to open, a middle-aged male doctor said with a heavy breath:
"I don't know if my luck is good or bad today. I didn't expect such an accident to happen before going on duty. Fortunately, the most seriously injured victims did not have any damage to their organs."
"God bless?" A young male doctor answered, and asked the doctor responsible for operating on the female victim: "What do you think? Ziegler."
