At the beginning of the fire to save people, I was broadcast live as a firefighter

outside the tunnel.

Three military engineering vehicles, two laps larger than the red fire truck, slowly drove into the tunnel head to tail.

The military engineering vehicle drove in the middle of the tunnel, directly occupying 2/3 of the passage.

Fortunately, the height of the Changqing Tunnel is relatively high, otherwise, even construction vehicles would not be able to drive in, and the progress would be greatly hindered.

After more than 50 minutes of urgent discussions, seven or eight research institutes across the country and the central research institute were connected to come up with a new solution.

The new plan is very bold, directly using engineering vehicles as the last line of defense.

At the top of the tunnel, the first simple steel sky was erected.

On top of the engineering vehicle, build a second protective steel sky.

Everyone hid on both sides of the construction vehicle for excavation and rescue.

In this way, even the first simple steel sky cannot support the collapse above.

Then the steel sky on the second floor can also play a very strong protective role.

Even if the entire tunnel is buried again, the drinking water and food in the car are enough to support the outside world for the second excavation.

The personnel of the engineering team are very busy.

Square fixed platforms the size of washbasins are dotted on both sides of the tunnel.

An arm-length set screw firmly nails the fixed platform to the ground.

Arm-thick brackets were installed on a fixed platform.

Finally, install the steel dome on the metal support, and connect with the previous steel dome to form a whole.

Carloads of rubble and debris were being hauled out of the tunnel.

The dying trapped masses and dead bodies were transported through tunnels one by one.

The distance inside and outside the tunnel is getting shorter and shorter.

45 meters,

44 meters,

43 meters,

The feedback distance on the sonar detector shortened rapidly.

Everyone's mood gradually became tense.

After all, the safe solution was chosen at the beginning because of the fear of the collapse of the stressed structure in the tunnel.

It seems, though, that luck is finally on the side of the rescuers this time around.

The excavation went very smoothly, although there were constantly larger and larger stones falling from the roof of the tunnel.

However, the worst-case scenario that everyone expected did not happen.

10 meters,

9 meters,

8 m.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Even the people trapped in the tunnel can hear the continuous excavation outside the tunnel.

This group of ordinary people who had been trapped for more than 100 hours burst into tears instantly.

"The sound of digging! It's the sound of rescuers digging."

"The sound is very close, we can go out when we are ready!"

"I really don't want to stay in this ghost place for a minute!"

"I feel like I'm already claustrophobic! I'll have to turn on the lights even when I'm going to sleep"

"Saved, we are finally saved!"

"Great, the firefighters finally came to our rescue!"

At the same time, the police radio blared.

[This is the temporary command post of the Changqing Tunnel, now broadcasting the rescue progress]

[Current excavation distance remaining 7.38 meters]

[Estimated excavation time 6 hours and 42 minutes]

【Please don't get too excited if you are trapped】

[Please manage the rest time properly for the trapped people and maintain good physical strength]

[Because emergencies may arise during the rescue]

【repeat·····】

······

However, not many people responded to the reminder broadcast.

Excited and people around, eagerly discussing what they want to do after going out.

Cao Guoqiang wanted to remind loudly, but found that his throat was uncomfortable.

Not to mention shouting, I'm afraid I can't even speak normally.

With the current lively situation, if it lasts for six or seven hours.

I'm afraid everyone's physical strength has long been exhausted.

Not to mention using good physical strength to deal with emergencies.

Whether they can go out by themselves is a problem, after all, everyone has been hungry for a full day and a half.

Now excited by adrenaline again, one by one roared and screamed.

Cao Guoqiang can only pray to God and worship Buddha now, and there will be no unexpected situations during the rescue.

·····

As the process continues to advance and more and more outsiders, people who had already forgotten about this matter are paying attention again.

After all, there is still more than an hour before the tunnel will be completely opened.

Trapped, more than 100 hours of disaster-stricken people can regain their light.

Such a big event was not only reported by the local media, but also received a lot of attention from all over the country and even the whole world.

Zhao Kaiming led the researchers and surveyors to the people in the first group who were resting in front of the temporary dining hall.

Looking at the exhaustion on the faces of all the firefighters and soldiers, he felt a little hot in his eyes.

For an order from above, the people below will work desperately, regardless of safety, and go all out to condense a few days of work into one day.

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

"No, it's really hard work for you!"

"It's not hard!"

····

Hearing the members of Group 1 shouting in unison, for some reason Zhao Kaiming felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

He turned his face away and secretly wiped the wet corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

He glanced at the camera that had been following him, and he really wanted to shoot it with his palm.

But he knew very well that he couldn't do it.

He took a deep breath of the cold autumn wind, barely suppressing his emotions.

Zhao Kaiming slowly exhaled the depression in his heart.

His tone became serious:

"After 5 minutes, you will take turns."

"And you will be the last rotation, because the estimated digging time is less than two hours left."

"The team members of the second group will assist your rescue in the middle of the tunnel."

"The next mission will be very dangerous, please keep your spirits up!"

"You are the pride of the people and the pride of the country!"

Zhao Kaiming suddenly raised his voice.

"All rise!"

All the resting people immediately dropped the food and energy drinks in their hands, and quickly stood at attention on the spot.

Zhao Kaiming suddenly raised his right hand and hit his heart hard.

Li Xiao knew that this was the highest courtesy for heroes in the army in this world.

In war, there will be many actions with extremely high mortality rates.

Such as demining, or positional charge, or death squads breaking through a strategic siege, or occupying a strategic high ground.

These tasks are almost impossible to survive, but someone must do them.

And those who accept the task, this will inevitably be respected by everyone in the army.

Even the highest officer needs to show the highest courtesy to a low-ranking private.

Zhao Kaiming's eyes were red, his right hand hammered on his chest kept shaking, and he shouted loudly to the 330 people in front of him:

"Be sure to give me all back alive!"

"Not one less!"

"Understand!"

"Understood! Understood! Understood!"

"Okay! Let's go!"
