The team member on the other end was immediately startled by the beeping sound. He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked at the screen.
A few small red dots appeared faintly on the screen.
Each small red dot represents a survivor, and as he continues to move the detection instrument forward, the number of small red dots gradually increases.
When he had walked less than ten meters forward, the entire panel was covered with red dots.
Moreover, the longer the probe stays in the system, the clearer the detected signal becomes.
He felt his breathing become heavy, and then he shouted loudly to the people behind him.
"Come quick! Look! We've found survivors over here!"
Upon hearing this voice, everyone quickly moved towards him.
Lu Yuan pushed through the crowd and walked towards the other person, who was pointing at the screen and excitedly shouting.
"Boss! Boss! Look, it's covered in little red dots, which means there are people inside. We've found them."
Lu Yuan glanced at it, and sure enough, the entire screen was almost overflowing, indicating that there were a large number of survivors inside.
Lu Yuan was so excited that he quickly called for his men to come over.
"Great, this is it. Quickly, take one of those large detectors and check it to see if it's really full of living people or livestock."
Another ship immediately sailed over and placed a large life detector in front of it.
After pressing the switch, a signal was received very quickly.
The sounds coming from inside were all human vital signs; the heartbeat, pulse, and breathing frequency were extremely similar to those of humans.
However, the people inside have slower heart rates and lower breathing rates.
It seems that the condition is not very good; the heartbeat is much weaker than that of an average person.
Lu Yuan made a decision immediately. He took out an iron hammer and slammed it down on the front of the ship.
The team members behind him explained why Lu Yuan did this, and then glanced inside.
Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at the screen of the life detector.
The vital signs readings monitored are still constantly changing.
As if they had heard the knocking sound, the heartbeats and breathing rates of the people inside began to increase.
Then Lu Yuan slammed it upwards again.
The numbers mentioned by those lives have changed again.
Lu Yuan immediately realized that there must be survivors inside.
"Now that things have come to this point, what are we waiting for?" Lu Yuan immediately said to the crowd.
"Brothers, right here, we're about to cut!"
The large ship behind them immediately received the order and sailed toward their location.
Then the anchor at the bow was lowered, securing the ship firmly in place.
After the pod was lowered, a welder immediately drew a large circle at the location indicated by Lu Yuan.
Once the location was designated, a large welding torch was immediately brought over.
A thick pipe was pulled from the ship all the way to the ark.
With a gentle press of the lighter, a blue flame immediately began to surge.
The welders put on protective masks and began cutting along the marked lines.
The cutting process took a long time, and Lu Yuan waited quietly.
Because he knew that cutting this place completely open would take an extremely long time.
However, seeing this enormous ark with such a large gash cut open, it will be extremely difficult to restore it in the future.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
However, if we want to rescue people now, we have to cut open this large opening; otherwise, we won't be able to get into the cabin at all.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Yuan would check the signals in the life detector every now and then.
Fortunately, the signal from the life detector remained very stable, but there were occasional signal loss.
This means that when a person loses their life, at least a dozen light spots disappear from it almost every day, and then new light and electricity will replenish it.
Lu Yuan knew that there were just too many people inside. As the people in front died, the people behind would slowly appear. Lu Yuan had already anticipated this before he even started his plan.
He didn't know what the situation inside was like, so he could only try to cut as far in as possible.
As time passed day by day, three days later the welding depth had reached forty centimeters.
You can see inside from just ten centimeters away, but it's extremely difficult to actually see inside.
Lu Yuan has another concern: if the people inside eat, drink, and relieve themselves all inside, the concentration of methane gas in the room will be too high.
If it were to come into contact with an open flame by accident, an explosion could occur. Lu Yuan was worried about this, so after a moment of contemplation, he decided to first use an electric drill to make a hole, let in oxygen, and let out the marsh gas inside to prevent an explosion.
Lu Yuan had participated in many rescue operations, so he had a thorough understanding of this situation.
Because many people are trapped in a small area, if it goes on for too long, their waste will decompose due to eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, and then form biogas.
This type of methane gas will not kill people in the short term, but it becomes very active in the early stages when it floats in the air. It is very easy to ignite if there is an open flame, especially in a confined space, where it can cause an explosion.
This would put the people inside at extremely high risk, so Lu Yuan had to expel the methane gas as soon as possible. He used an electric drill to slowly open up the inside and then installed a ventilation duct.
Until the team member with the drill felt a sudden, sharp drop in front of the drill, and felt his body tilt forward.
Lu Yuan quickly pulled him back.
"Haha, we've finally drilled through!"
Lu Yuan disregarded everything else and immediately shouted loudly inside.
"Is anyone alive inside? If so, give us a shout, or you can knock on the wall!"
A few minutes later, a coughing sound and a whimpering sound came from inside.
Although Lu Yuan couldn't hear very clearly, he had a vague feeling that there were quite a few people crying inside.
At that moment, a teammate pointed ahead, holding a gas detector in his hand.
"Boss, the detector shows that the methane concentration inside is seriously excessive, and there's also a large amount of carbon dioxide. We have to replace it with fresh air immediately! Otherwise, the people inside might die even faster!"
Lu Yuan immediately nodded and gave the order to turn on the fresh air system for ventilation.
