Reborn in the 1990s: I Serve the Country and Rise to Become a Tycoon

Lín Wēi only realized when she died that having a sister-favoring mother would cause so much damage to her family.

Her father fell from a great height and died. Her younger brother went mis...

Chapter 235 'Fireflies' Draws Attention

When the four of them took out their phones, good heavens, the signal was indeed cut off.

"This is really embarrassing. I was so tired after a long day yesterday that I slept like a log last night and only just woke up this morning..."

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.

Wang Ying repeatedly said, "I take back what I just said. You mustn't spread it around."

"Don't worry, he'll forget about it soon."

Lin Wei is the CEO of Boyuan Group, and everyone was concerned about her safety, so they had people guarding her from the beginning.

Now the CEO of Jianggang Group has arrived, and they're all in the disaster area. If anything goes wrong, who can bear it?

But no matter how much they tried to persuade them, the two of them just wouldn't leave.

“We’re here to help. Did we help yesterday? Okay, we need to hurry up and make breakfast. Now that the disaster victims have arrived, they probably haven’t eaten yet.”

Before they could even agree, Lin Wei and the others immediately got to work.

After yesterday, the four of them worked together very well.

Since everyone was eating on-site, it was mostly boiled noodles. However, Lin Wei noticed that there were children present, so after thinking for a moment, she took out some rice and cooked some porridge.

"I don't know if there's any formula. If there isn't, I'll let the child eat rice, cook it thick, and let them eat whatever they want from the bottom."

really--

Before Grandma arrived, several children had filled their stomachs with thick rice porridge.

This busy morning continued until Lin Wei was about to add firewood to boil water when a strong aftershock struck.

The half-pot of water spilled quite a bit, and people couldn't stand upright on the ground. Everyone had to lie down or squat to maintain their balance.

Behind them, many of the newly evacuated disaster victims couldn't help but wail and cry, as if death had once again come before them.

Fortunately, this area was indeed very safe, and the tremors subsided after more than ten minutes.

But not far away, everyone could clearly see that the soil on the mountaintop was sloping downwards, and not far from it, there was a helicopter nearby.

If mud or rocks were stuck on the rotor blades above a helicopter, at that height, survival would be virtually impossible.

Just as everyone's hearts were in their throats, the helicopter swerved several times, narrowly avoiding the danger zone and getting away from it.

"Why did the helicopter go over there? That was so dangerous!"

“There are people over there. Although we’ve arranged for their evacuation, we still need to go and check on them. Also, the nearby farmland needs helicopters to deliver supplies,” Lin Yuan explained.

"Why not use unmanned helicopters for direct airdrop? Hasn't that been developed yet?"

"That thing is quite large. It's not something that can be developed in such a short time."

At this point, all they could do was wait.

But the aftershock was too strong, blocking the passage between their safe zone and the epicenter.

The situation there was already very serious, so without much hesitation, after taking the supplies and the two boiler tools from Lin Wei's side, a large group of people immediately got on the vehicle.

They had to dig as they went.

Firstly, it was time to replace them with replacements. Working long hours would be too much for anyone's body.

Secondly, if the passage isn't dug through, the rescued people can't be brought up, and the best rescue opportunity won't be secured.

-

After the meal was finished and everyone left, Lin Wei and the others could finally rest.

But the longer I sit, the more my mind wanders.

Moreover, Lin Yuan and two others were among the group that left earlier.

The three children are all quite young, yet they bear an extremely heavy responsibility—

"Aunt Zhang was so worried. She kept calling the two kids yesterday to ask about their situation, but now the communication is cut off again. Luckily, she doesn't know where the kids are."

Lin Wei was wrong about this.

Reporters from various television stations had already gone to the epicenter, and they hadn't even swapped shifts with anyone else from beginning to end, working there in shifts 24 hours a day.

Anyone who has watched television will have seen the scene of those three children using technology to save lives.

“Hey, this is Sijin, that’s Si’an, and next to him is Yuanyuan.” Zhang Min was sitting in front of the TV, her eyes already red from crying because of the severity of the disaster. When she suddenly saw her children and Lin Yuan, she almost jumped up.

"I knew I couldn't get through on the phone. So they went to such a dangerous place. No wonder I couldn't get through. Isn't Weiwei there? Didn't she stop them?"

Lin Xiaomeng was also anxious, but she was more clear-headed. "I'm afraid Weiwei will go with them too. Weiwei is even more stubborn than these three children. No one can persuade her, and who can persuade them?"

"You women shouldn't worry about this. Apart from the first earthquake which was unexpected and caused casualties, the probability of casualties is very small as long as there is no excavation work going on."

Lin Yuan and his two companions were clearly not into this kind of work, so even if they wanted to help, they couldn't. Instead, the commotion caused by the three young men attracted the attention of everyone.

After Lin Yuan, Su Sijin, and Su Si'an threw the 'fireflies' into the ground and into various crevices again, the reporter ran over with a camera.

"Hello, we saw you throwing things in earlier. What were you throwing in?"

Lin Yuan glanced at the professor behind him, and after seeing the professor nod, Lin Yuan said, "This is the 'firefly' rescue work that our country is currently researching. It uses the tiny bodies of fireflies to allow them to move freely in narrow gaps. Through thermal sensing, what they sense is fed back to the tablet in our hands, so we can quickly and clearly see which area has people."

The reporter, surprised that my country possessed such a thing, became visibly excited, asking, "Soon?"

"Yes, look, the data has already started to be fed back to us. Soon, the rescuers will be able to locate the person very accurately with these materials."

"Is this a newly developed product? I've never heard of it before. With this kind of technology, people trapped under houses should be able to get out soon."

Everyone knows that every minute gained gives those below a one-minute chance to survive.

"Yes, but it's only a semi-finished product. It can only identify objects that feel hot through thermal imaging technology."

This experiment revealed that they could easily replace the firefly thermal imaging with a night vision camera, and directly replace the tablet receiving the thermal image with a visual tablet like an iPad, making the situation much clearer.

The idea is good, but no one knows how long it will take to come to fruition.

But everyone believed it wouldn't take long.

“Good children, truly good children. I never imagined that what the children researched could be of such help to people. This is a great deed.” As Zhang Min spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Don't cry. We're still in the disaster relief phase, and there's still reconstruction to come. We can't help now, but we can't hesitate to donate money later."
