Chapter 127 Unemployment
Pu Xiuquan said: "The general situation is like this. Now we need to evaluate whether there are any survivors inside. If so, how many are there and what is their living condition."

"Also, if it is to be rescued, what plan needs to be taken."

Tangning immediately raised her hand.

"Tangning, tell me."

"Judging from the communications, the survivors sent us the message to leave immediately." Tangning said, "The messages have warned us several times in a row."

"I think the plan to open up the tunnel can be discussed later. At present, we should first figure out what unknown dangers exist in Lujia Town, the degree of danger, and whether it is suitable for rescue."

"I agree with Xiao Tang's point of view." Pu Xiuquan agreed: "To save people, you must first be safe. If you open the passage rashly, the survivors inside may encounter great danger."

"Twenty years have passed. If there really was a social form in it, I would like to remind everyone that it may not be a beautiful form under the circumstances of insufficient resources."

Everyone stopped talking. Secretary-General Pu is a practical person, and what he said was the greatest possible truth.

There may indeed not be many resources in the underground tunnels. Anyone who has experienced the chaos of the deserted town knows how terrifying it would be.

Once a person releases the demon in his heart, he will become even more terrifying than a mutated creature.

"But if there is a chance, we still have to save them." Pu Xiuquan said, "After all, they are our compatriots."

"It's just that the plan must be scientific, and the safety of our own people must be guaranteed first."

Wang Li said: "Everyone should take Secretary-General Pu's words as the guiding ideology of this operation. If there are our compatriots in the tunnel, we must consider a safe and reasonable plan to rescue them."

"Not only to save, but also to consider the subsequent physical and psychological rehabilitation, so that they can reintegrate into human social groups."

"However, the rescue plan must be perfect, and there is no rush to implement it. If there are really survivors in the mine, then they have persisted for the past 20 years, and they will not be in a hurry for a day or two."

"Now we must first estimate how many people are inside, establish contact with them as soon as possible, try to understand their situation, and discuss the rescue plan together."

"There is also what kind of danger exists in that area and how to solve it. After all, it is an important mining base, and we will continue to mine in the end."

"Sister Guan, is it possible to infer the number of survivors from engineering?"

Guan Fang said: "From the satellite video of the convoy entering the mining area, to the pictures of the mine sent back by Team Tang, it can be seen that the convoy evacuated the industrial area in an orderly manner and parked in an orderly manner."

"This shows that the five-year retreat in Datong was planned and prepared, and it was carefully considered by the survivors."

"If this is the case, they will consider the issue of survival, including energy issues, food issues, and oxygen supply issues."

"There are many air passages in the mine pit. How can the survivors ensure that the air in them is clean without wind power equipment? I haven't thought about this issue."

Wang Li called up a schematic picture: "I have thought about this, and they may not have the problem of difficulty in ventilation."

Guan Fang was a little surprised: "How is this possible?"

Wang Li said: "Look, the mineral deposits in Gulou Mountain are different from many mineral deposits. To be precise, they are not underground, but in the mountains."

"It only needs to drill ventilation holes in the mountain, and the temperature difference between the east and west sides of the mountain can be used to realize the air flow."

"Such air flow may be weak, but as long as there is a difference in air pressure, such flow will inevitably occur."

Guan Fang is also from science and engineering, so she immediately understood what Wang Li said: "This is something I didn't think of before, if this is the case..."

Zhang Qiuyi brought up a three-dimensional topographic map: "It is indeed possible. Even the problem of drinking water can be solved through these pipes connecting the surface of the mountain."

Tangning immediately raised her hand, "In this case, they may be attacked by small mutant beasts that can penetrate these pipes."

"But it's controllable!" Guan Fang is an expert in this field, and immediately said: "Most tunnels can be equipped with isolation devices! A few tunnels..."

"It can be used as a hunting trap!" Tangning, who was born in the wilderness, immediately thought of this possibility.

"With this method, how many people can survive in the tunnel?" Pu Xiuquan asked.

Tang Lujin calculated nervously, and finally said: "Secretary-General, if we rely solely on this method... there will not be more than ten people."

"That's impossible!" Guan Fang hurriedly said, "According to the satellite surveillance video, a total of forty transport vehicles entered the tunnel. We counted four people in one vehicle, and that's more than 100 people."

"It may be much more than that." Tangning said, "Since they are ready, they will definitely consider this aspect."

"Obtaining food does not necessarily have to be hunted outside. Since there are no traces of human activities in the Gulou Mountain area from satellite monitoring, it means that they have not come out for activities. I think it is possible for them to obtain food supplements through their own farming and breeding. more sexual."

"But the mountain is full of caves mined from ore." Wang Li frowned and said, "Without soil, nutrients, and light, how can plants perform photosynthesis?"

"Sister Guan." Tangning asked, "Are there any waste treatment plants in similar mines?"

"That's right!" Guan Fang couldn't help but suddenly realized: "Every mine has a similar garbage disposal site, and the waste residue after treatment is buried in some planned abandoned mine pits!"

This cold knowledge made everyone confused. Guan Fang saw the eyes of everyone: "Is it strange? After most of the garbage is processed, it is finally buried in the ground. Since it is all buried in the ground, you don't think about it." The mine will transport it out and find another place to bury it? Isn’t this superfluous?”

"The garbage in the mine is mainly feces and urine, as well as some kitchen waste and industrial waste; and the processing process is mainly sorting, dumping, fermentation, and dehydration. Therefore, those landfills are actually rich in nutrients. !"

"But without light, it still won't work..."

"Actually, nutrients are enough. There are many things that can reproduce without sunlight," Tangning said.

"what?"

"For example, mushrooms and earthworms can even trap insects and reproduce larvae."

The first one was okay, but the other two listed by Tangning made everyone present feel lucky that "fortunately, I didn't have time to eat dinner because of the urgent overtime".

"If you add these, how many people can survive?" Pu Xiuquan asked.

"If it's true what Tangning said..." Tang Lujin gestured with her small hands in the air, and finally said, "200 people is no problem."

Wang Li shook her head: "Even if the material conditions can be met, humans are not creatures that can adapt to long-term darkness."

"Lack of sunlight and single nutrition will lead to the lack of necessary trace elements in the body, resulting in physical weakness; it will also affect the mind, resulting in stress, panic and violent tendencies."

Pu Xiuquan said: "Yes, that is to say, the survival of 200 people should be able to survive under the leadership of a strong leadership team, but if despair arises and spreads..."

Shaking his head, "Let's not talk about that, Tangning, have you contacted the people inside again?"

Tangning said, "The power of that server is still being restored, and it has entered normal operation, but we haven't received a reply yet."

Pu Xiuquan asked: "Neither did the satellite map and the previous drone patrols find anything unusual there?"

Tang Ning said, "I am in charge of the security work of the Han'an base. I have also reviewed the satellite scanning images of Han'an City over the years."

"After Datong's Skynet was separated into a single-city independent network in six years, satellite images have entered the standard program mode. Although I have most of the authority of Han'an Skynet, calling satellites for fine-grained scanning started last fall. .”

"In addition, the UAV programmed automatic patrol, which was also carried out this autumn, and the images obtained were more detailed. Later, several mutant images were discovered, and infrared, magnetic and electric field detection functions were even added."

"During the catastrophe until last year, because the satellite images were taken in a wide range, the images were rough, and the standard program did not have the night imaging function, so it was impossible to obtain detailed information in a small area. At least no abnormalities could be screened out."

"And from this year until now, the Weiyuan area has been very quiet."

"Continue to strengthen contact and observation, and don't act rashly." Pu Xiuquan emphasized.

"Yes, based on this consideration, I withdrew the reconnaissance team and planned to go back tomorrow." Tangning replied, "Because according to the warning in the tunnel, after sunset..."

"Don't completely believe that warning." Pu Xiuquan said coldly: "After all, what happened outside in the past 19 years may not necessarily be known inside. Everything depends on our own reconnaissance and judgment."

"Yes."

"If there is new progress, report it in time."

"Yes."

"By the way, if Han'an needs any help, you must not have any scruples, just ask."

"It's just right..." Tangning said immediately, "The safety of the Han'an base can be basically guaranteed. However, the team members are still lacking in energy and work experience after traveling more than 100 kilometers to conduct reconnaissance."

"Nowadays, the patrol area of ​​Han'an City is not small, including the maintenance and patrol of the [-] kilometers of underwater facilities along the lower reaches of the river, including the development of the urban area north of Han'an Avenue, including the safety of the Han'an-Zizhou Expressway, and also including Opposite the Han'an Bridge, the high-tech industrial zone and agricultural zone are guaranteed."

"In addition, there are maintenance and safety monitoring of the internal facilities of the base, and some backbones are even drawn out to participate in scientific research work such as the Red Bird UAV. The 210 armed team members are divided into three shifts, with only about 70 people in each shift. The intensity is already great.”

"Secretary-General, now that the Longquan Mountains have been basically cleared, and most of the troops have returned to their bases, has the security situation in Zizhou been greatly consolidated?"

"Then those under the Zizhou Wilderness Hunter Union are facing unemployment?"
