Chapter 3382 (2/2)
I'm going to use the mind network to send information to you, and I'm going to say, ”so I'm going to start right now?”
”If it's convenient for you, of course, the sooner the better. The personnel below may not last long.”
The following situation is not as bad as expected. exactly. There was a landslide in this area, but the mine didn't collapse completely. Different from ordinary mines, uranium mines are not the kind of small coal mines that can dig a pit at random. The underground of this kind of mining area is the same as the air raid shelter, even more exaggerated than the air raid shelter. The entrance is wider than the highway toll station, and it's OK for a dozen cars to enter. Of course, it's not that big inside, but it can still be more than six lanes wide, and the roof is very high.
However, this kind of situation is limited to the entrance of 100 meters, and it will not work if you go inside. It's not that the inside of the mine is not as good as the outside, but the cave is blocked by the collapse caused by the collapse inside, so the passageway inside becomes very narrow.
It can be said that this passage is not completely blocked, just because the collapse caused a large number of obstacles blocking the entrance. The present situation is that the gap left by the collapse is too small for people to get out. Moreover, many obstacles are support beams, large rocks and concrete blocks, which are all things that can't be moved by human. Large machinery can't get in at all. If large machinery is needed to dig in a little bit, it may take a very long time. Moreover, if large machinery is to be used in the past, the passage must be widened, and once the excavated area is too large. It may also lead to another collapse, so this mining method is not advisable.
However, if there is no large-scale equipment, it is difficult to get rid of these obstacles only by manpower and things that can be carried with them. That's the difficulty of rescue. But it's much easier for us to come.
We people have the destructive power of large machinery and the same size as human beings, so we can easily get in. If we encounter some steel bars or cement blocks that block the road, whether it's drilling or moving away, we have a way. This is our advantage.
The group who came to pick us up didn't send us to the mining area. Instead, they gave us a brief introduction to the situation at the headquarters at the foot of the mountain. It took less than five minutes to complete the task overview, and then a special person sent us to the mine area.
In fact, the real mine is quite far away from where the spaceship landed. It was better just at the foot of the mountain. When I drove into the mountain, I found that all the soldiers standing on the roadside were soldiers in chemical protective clothing. After all, this is a uranium mine. Although there is no radiation at the foot of the mountain, I began to feel a certain intensity of radiation from walking to one-third of the mountain road. Of course, this does not cause any harm to human body, but it radiates after two-thirds of the mountain road The intensity of the shot could have hurt people. But the soldiers in the mountains are all wearing three defense suits, so it's no big deal.
When the car that sent us stopped in the real mine, I found that there was a front-line rescue headquarters. The headquarters at the foot of the mountain was supposed to be here, but when the landslide collapsed, it seemed that cracks appeared on the surface, which led to radiation leakage. The radiation intensity of this place has reached the point that people can be killed in half an hour without protection. This kind of ordinary radiation protection clothing can not be completely blocked. The soldiers here can see that they are all wearing heavy protective clothing like space suits. It's almost as fast as power armor, but it's not bulletproof, and it's designed to deal with high-intensity radiation.
The soldiers who sent us didn't dare to get out of the car. They only wore ordinary protective clothing. However, the armored personnel carrier with three defense functions was sent to us, so as long as they didn't get off the bus, it would be fine.
Because it has been explained clearly before, we don't need to understand anything here after we are put down. We directly meet with the person in charge here, and then the other party sent eight entourage personnel to go down with us to save people.These eight people were originally working in the mining area and were familiar with the environment below. Moreover, they were all soldiers. Now they are not wearing simple protective clothing, but a simple version of power armor with three defense functions. This thing is said to be a simple version of power armor, mainly because this is the power armor used in mines. It is a kind of power armor specially prepared for mining operations in this radiation area. The main strengthening direction of this device is radiation protection, followed by the function of power armor, but it is not designed for combat, so its function is very serious.
These people are different from our mission. The task of the five of us is to open the road and inspect the ruins afterwards, while the main task of the eight of them is to lead the way and deliver the relief materials.
Because there may be wounded people below, and there may be someone whose radiation protection equipment is damaged, it is necessary to take more radiation protection equipment to deal with the situation in case. Anyway, they are mainly responsible for the rescue, we are mainly responsible for the road.
Each of the eight people was carrying a large box with rescue equipment in it. Of course, we were light, only wearing our own power armor, and we didn't even buckle the helmet, because the radiation didn't respond to us at all. However, the soldiers nearby were all paying attention to us all the way. After all, those who did not wear protective equipment under this radiation intensity would die within more than ten minutes, but we did not respond at all. This is definitely not the normal state of human beings. However, the people here are all soldiers of the army, and they are security forces themselves. They know what should not be said and what should not be asked.
After entering the cave, we saw some vehicles parked at the next cave entrance. The shape of these cars looks like a lunar rover, with only iron frames. It is said that it is inconvenient to wear protective equipment, so if the car has a shell, it is very difficult for the staff to get up and down. Later, they simply made iron frames, which is more convenient.
Through the hole, we can see the collapsed passage. Not to mention, it is not completely blocked. The collapsed earth and stone piled up a dam like Earth sill in the passage, but the top was still a little distance from the ceiling of the passage, which was enough for a person to stand upright and walk through.
When we climbed up the dirt pit, we found that there were still many people digging the passage behind. After all, the entrance in front of us was not sealed. It was easier to come here, but the part they were digging was not easy to go. Almost all the roads here are blocked, but in the middle, you can see that some steel beams form a triangle space, which can barely pass through. However, it is ordered not to pass by, because the death toll may be increased in the past.
I looked at the eye passage and said to Everett, ”it's up to you.”
