Chapter 78 Fire at the Typhoon!!!
"Diverting floodwaters? We've discussed this proposal from the beginning. However, given the current structure inside the melt tunnel, if a hole is opened, subsequent typhoons and flooding will only lead to worse consequences."
As Shengxia said this, she looked up and saw Putt still waiting for her in silence. Before anyone else could speak, Shengxia stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Good boy, you are very precious. Follow the others to seek shelter first."
However, at this time, Putt reached out and held Shengxia tightly, and at the same time, he put her hand meaningfully on the surveillance lock on her neck, as if to say, since you have put handcuffs on me, you have to be responsible for me.
At this time, Mo Siming came over and said that the communication tower with the Seiros family had been built. The other party asked Shengxia to come up with a rescue plan as soon as possible to ensure that they could cooperate.
"First, have them stop all their deliveries." Shengxia had just finished saying this when Fu Qianshen took the food storage points listed in the current food group's plan. Among them, the places closest to the New Technology University on the Volker planet had already sent advance rescue personnel to store food.
However, given the current wind conditions, it is uncertain how much food can be recovered.
"The food storage area reserved for the underground nuclear project has been hastily constructed, but Commander, are you sure... you want to transport some of the food to the underground nuclear project?" A member of the federal security team following Fu Qianshen suddenly summoned the courage to ask.
"What do you mean?" Shengxia looked at him.
"If a riot breaks out, the existing troops maintaining order alone won't be enough to stop the people. It's not that I don't trust the people, but... it's still too dangerous."
Fu Qianshen and Mo Siming looked at the federal security team member silently, and then unconsciously looked at Shengxia. At this time, Shengxia had already calmly taken the decision of the action order and signed her name.
"Right now, we have no choice. Instead of worrying about riots... we should first worry about whether the people can be completely evacuated to the underground nuclear laying project."
"After all, panic is the worst thing to do at a time like this."
Sheng Xia's words made Mo Siming and Fu Qianshen take a deep breath. What awaited them in the next few hours would be the largest, most urgent, and most demanding large-scale evacuation of people in the history of Volk Planet. Moreover, all the people would be evacuated in batches, with almost no security personnel.
In this situation, if a large-scale riot really happened, Fu Qianshen couldn't imagine the consequences, but at the same time, they really needed them to protect the external grain harvest and the dams, military strongholds and other fortresses.
After all, the existence of these backup forces will be the key to the future development of Planet Volk.
At this time, Lao Ma took over the communication with Shengxia and told Shengxia that there was a secret tunnel near the valley of the hot spring area that was secretly dug by the Independence Army in the past. It was located very close to the newly built dam in the hot spring area, and the entrance of the secret tunnel was the sea outlet.
So if Shengxia needs it, they can directly blow through the secret passage, so that part of the water flow of the dam can go to the secret passage, avoiding the possibility of backflow into the melt hole.
"The only thing left to deal with now is the strong wind. Besides, if we try to defend the cave, once the water pressure exceeds its capacity, the entire weight of the cave might suffocate everyone. What do you think?"
While Lao Ma was asking, Shengxia gestured to Fu Qianshen to hand over the real-time reports on the formation and path of major typhoons monitored by Xiao Ai. It could be seen that there were only seven hours left before the first cyclone typhoon made landfall in the melt tunnel. If they planned to blast open one side of the melt tunnel in the heavy rain, they would have to complete the installation of the corresponding windbreaks on the other side at the same time.
She turned around and contacted Wei Jie to inquire about the current evacuation situation in the melt cave. However, she was standing on the corridor bridge in the melt cave, looking at the people of the planet Volk, including her daughter, who were unwilling to leave. She felt completely dark.
After the corresponding order of entering the shelter was announced, the aspiring young people who were selected for the government-sponsored study abroad program felt that they had already benefited from the country by being able to leave Planet Volker. Now that it was a precarious time, they should naturally stand up and serve the motherland. What was the big deal about letting them go to shelter first?
On the other hand, Shengxia, while meeting with the head of the Food Planning Group, ordered Fu Qianshen to lead the team to the corresponding gap in the Rongdong Cave to lay the corresponding windbreaks.
"clear."
"Wei Jie, what's the situation?"
"Planet Commander, I..."
Hearing Wei Jie's hesitant voice, Sheng Xia made up her mind and gave Wei Jie a death order: "I will only give you four hours to complete the evacuation of all people. Do you understand? Four hours, the count starts from now on. We are out of time!"
Wei Jie: ...
He listened to Shengxia's death order, glanced at the people still making a lot of noise in the melting cave, and finally, in a state of collapse, took the loudspeaker in the melting cave and shouted:
"Shut up!!! The elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women in each district must leave first. The first group of personnel must volunteer to assist the second and third groups in quickly entering the underground nuclear project for shelter. We are running out of time. Those who are skilled in maintenance engineering must first enter the underground nuclear project to help lay the appropriate shelter equipment. From now on, everyone must move."
"The lights for the evacuation passage are on. Don't push or shove. Follow the person in front of you. If someone in front of you accidentally trips, be sure to pull them up and continue forward. I will wait until everyone has left before leaving, so don't worry about being the last person to enter the shelter."
Turning around, Wei Jie called out to the executive officer who was following him:
"Bring me the drone, and also bring me the real-time monitoring map of the evacuation situation in each district."
Just as he finished speaking, the entire cave suddenly shook with a rumbling sound. Just as the people were about to scream, Wei Jie's voice once again hovered over the cave: "Don't panic, don't run around. Follow the people in front of you and walk forward along the passage. It doesn't matter if you drop your belongings. Supplies will be distributed uniformly after you enter the shelter."
"Watch your children."
At this moment, a shocking scene occurred to Wei Jie. Perhaps worried that the child would suffocate in such a crowded environment, someone lifted the child above their head and shouted to the person in front: "Pass the child to the front."
Gradually, the children were lifted up to the tops of the people and passed forward. Xizi and the other children were originally full of confidence and wanted to be volunteers, but they didn't expect that they were also lifted up to the tops of the people next to them because they were not tall enough.
“No, we are not.”
"Shut up, time is urgent, you must cooperate with the commander, understand?"
The uncle who held the actors high above his head yelled at them fiercely.
The children of Xizi and others: ...
They were transferred one by one by the hands of people. This was the first time for the actors to ride on such an "artificial conveyor belt". The dream they had imagined before, that they could sit on their parents' shoulders and see the world like other ordinary children, was actually realized in this strange way.
"Oh, that's right, don't make a fuss. Children should be obedient. That's what good children do."
Seeing that the children including the actor had calmed down, some people in the crowd actually comforted them spontaneously. The actor turned around and saw that there were soldiers leading the team at the protruding places on the road on both sides. They were only wearing uniforms and had no weapons on their backs. They were sweating profusely and kept comforting the restless crowd.
"They?" When the actor was about to say something, they had already arrived in front of the elevator and were pushed into the elevator by the people behind them. They followed the elevator to the underground nuclear laying project shelter deeper underground.
At the same time, as the people evacuated, Shengxia and her team quickly led the team to the first landing point of the typhoon. Also clamoring to come was the researcher disciple of the old expert in infrastructure engineering. He directly said that his teacher was forced to take shelter, but he was still young and could run, so he came to help pass on the message. There were some words that Shengxia had to listen to now.
"The external water pressure hasn't exceeded the limit yet, but it has caused the melt hole to tilt slightly, and you can see this angle."
"State the conclusion."
Shengxia pushed away the real-time image at the researcher's hand.
"The conclusion is that we must immediately find a way to decompress the melt hole, taking into account the internal and external pressures. Furthermore, if a hole is blown through this area, the power and heating systems will immediately stop functioning."
"Fu Qianshen and his team have already led the team to shut down the power and heating systems in this area."
"Huh?" Hearing Shengxia's words, the researcher was visibly stunned. "Then how are you going to operate the various machines without electricity?"
"First, check the feasibility of this plan. If possible, calculate the locations where the explosives need to be placed. We'll take care of the rest. Can you follow the last group of people to the evacuation shelter?"
"It's not a matter of avoiding or not. I've realized it a long time ago. Please don't keep driving me away." The researcher took the plan from Shengxia's hand while muttering. After reading the title, he looked at Shengxia with wide eyes.
[Fire at the typhoon] What kind of proposal is this?
Shengxia seemed to understand his doubts and shock, and told him directly that this plan was submitted after the rescue troops outside the Rongdong had discussed it. She had only taken a preliminary look at it, but she thought it was feasible.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a look and calculate right away."
Regardless of the surrounding environment, the researcher immediately lay on the ground, poured the data in the research plan into his own calculation model and began to calculate.
Boom! The melting cave trembled slightly uncontrollably again. Putt, who had been following behind Shengxia, stepped forward and pointed with his finger at the image of a heavy-lift starship that appeared on the corner of the report Shengxia was reading.
Shengxia looked in the direction of his finger and immediately realized that Putt meant that if a gap appeared, they could directly drive the heavy-duty starship in through the gap to block the gap and prevent the strong wind from further damaging the building.
This is an unexpectedly good idea.
At this moment, the researcher lying on the ground excitedly shouted, "It works! It works!"
"It's theoretically feasible, Commander, but it's a bit... uh, out of line. If you plan to install the windbreaks now, I'll calculate the locations of the decompression holes that need to be blown first based on the current typhoon speed."
"No." Sheng Xia took a look at the real-time monitoring images of the personnel evacuation sent by Wei Jie, and directly asked the researcher to calculate the location of the decompression hole in an hour and a half.
"The windbreaks don't need to be completely laid out. I'll have Fu Qianshen and the others drive the heavy-lift starship in directly."
"Come in?" Shengxia moved, and the researcher followed her. Hearing her say that they would park the starship directly across the gap, the researcher took a deep breath and couldn't help but get excited again: "This will definitely be the most practical thing to do in this chaotic war."
"Why don't you go take shelter?" Sheng Xia urged him again.
But he continued to chatter and skip along behind Shengxia, showing no intention of seeking refuge:
"I want to stay with you until the end. Please allow me to stay with you until the end. I knocked my teacher unconscious and sent him to the shelter. I am also very valuable. I am aware of this. These situations need to be considered in real time. You can't send me away. No matter what, I have someone by my side..."
Before he could finish his words, Sheng Xia handed him an oxygen mask. While he was still confused, Mo Siming beside him had already put his hand on his shoulder:
"Oxygen levels will also drop rapidly after the power and heating are turned off, so be quiet and calculate your results carefully."
"Oh, so this is what you mean by not chasing me away, right, right, right."
Mo Siming: ...What a chatterbox.
