This heavy snow caused the temperature in the entire south to almost drop below zero degrees, and it is expected to last for nearly a month.

Now even a fool would know that this is a serious problem!

"Transportation, energy, water conservancy, communications, almost all departments have activated emergency plans, but just as we expected..."

“There’s no special emergency plan for snowstorms, right?”

"……Yes."

Actually, there are, but not many. The main reason is that we did not expect it to be so serious. The emergency plan was based on the template from the north and we lacked experience.

"Two hours ago, the core highways in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces began to show signs of ice formation."

"Snow is starting to accumulate on the railway system. After four hours, the snow is not thick yet, but it is unlikely to stop snowing within the next two days."

The South was dumbfounded. They had never seen such a winter in their lives.

In fact, after looking up history, Alia discovered that in this world line, this year should be the most serious cold wave since the beginning of the last century.

This is a truly once-in-a-century event. It is not a question of experience or not, but an absolutely counterintuitive natural disaster.

"Start all procedures as planned, and keep in touch with the railway, power, and communications departments. As long as they need us, we will go."

"Railways and roads are basically shut down. All the stranded employees at Tianhai have been relocated to the group's accommodation areas. I tell everyone to spend the New Year with peace of mind. From today until the end of the New Year holiday, all accommodation and dining expenses will be covered by the group. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"Go to the supermarket and count all the stocks. Keep a close eye on the supply of materials on the market. If anyone dares to maliciously drive up the price, go over and knock it down."

Ailia explained a lot of things, and then took Su Nan to the floor where the electronics business department was located.

One floor was cleared out as a central control center, where you can see densely packed large screens.

Su Nan stared at it: "What-what is this?"

"Drone Control Center." Alia swiped her work card and opened a box containing some starting switches.

"Drone...control? Center?"

He knows about drones, he knows about controls, and he understands the center.

But the problem is that when these words are put together, he is not quite sure why they appear here.

Is the Ai Group a hidden cyber giant? Would it have such a configuration? This is too sci-fi!

While we were waiting and watching, a group of people came here in a hurry, led by Boss Huo.

"Girl——"

"Old man? Why are you here in such a cold weather?"

"problem occurs……"

Boss Huo had a serious expression on his face and looked a little indescribably haggard, probably because he had stayed up late.

"What happened?"

"Fucheng's main power transmission system is paralyzed!"

Fucheng is the Chenzhou in Alia’s memory.

Chen, this word is pronounced as chen, and its other name is Fucheng.

As the southern gate of Hunan Province, Fucheng is located where the Nanling Mountains and the Luoxiao Mountains intersect and where the Yangtze River and the Pearl River systems diverge. It has a typical subtropical climate.

But such a subtropical climate was the first city to be hit hard by the cold wave...

Almost overnight, the entire Fucheng was covered with rare heavy snow.

Then the snow in the city melted and froze in the morning, which evolved into an ice disaster.

The railway passing through the Fucheng transportation hub was forced to stop operating due to the collapse of a nearby electric tower.

More importantly, the ice disaster caused the collapse of the power grid - the wires were covered with ice, the lines could not bear the weight, and pulled the iron towers down directly.

Traffic on roads in Fucheng became even more difficult as the road surface was icy and slippery, and trees on the roadside were crushed by the ice and fell in the middle of the road, blocking the road.

Almost all the camphor trees on the roadside in the city collapsed, and for a moment the city looked like it had been baptized by the end of the world.

Tianhai City is more than 1,200 kilometers away from Fucheng, so Lele was still able to come out happily this morning and said that the sun was very nice.

As a result, Lele simply can’t be happy anymore.

"What did the Fucheng authorities say?"

"They are contacting the outside world and requesting assistance. They have already started to save themselves."

In fact, the situation in Fucheng is much more serious than the Fucheng officials themselves expected.

Their power grid has been disconnected from the main power grid and started operating as an isolated grid.

The strong cold air from the north stirs up the warm and humid air currents from the southwest, causing them to swirl and form blizzards and ice that destroy cities and strongholds.

It took almost just one day to destroy the Fucheng power grid that had been built up over decades.

However, according to calculations by power system engineers, this cold wave will not last long.

Within 72 hours at most, the connection between local power stations and the power grid will be frozen and the isolated Fucheng power grid will be destroyed.

By then, the entire Fucheng and its 11 subordinate counties, with a total population of 500 million, will have to endure the darkness until dawn.

What's even more terrifying is that the weather forecast system, which is currently operating at full capacity, is certain that this cold wave will last at least 8 days.

Su Nan was dumbfounded, having no idea why ice was so scary - it was just - it was just ice?

Ailia was looking for something, and seemed to know that Su Nan didn't understand, so she took out a piece of information and handed it to him to read.

"The design standard for ice coverage of Fucheng's power grid is generally no more than 15 mm, but in this ice disaster, the ice coverage on many lines reached 60 mm or even 100 mm thick."

"Yes, this thickness of ice is too terrible." Huo said worriedly: "A double-circuit iron tower that originally weighed only 6 tons weighed 50 tons after freezing."

"5, 50 tons? How can we bear that?!"

"Yes, they just couldn't bear it. The load far exceeded the design capacity. The end result was that a large number of towers and poles were crushed and collapsed."

In fact, the power workers in Fucheng have never been idle. They started to deal with possible disasters in the past few days.

A total of 10 ice observation posts have been set up at points prone to ice formation in the power grid system.

As long as ice is found, we would rather sacrifice the life of the wires to short-circuit the current to melt the ice.

But the problem is that after one night, the electric current is no longer effective in melting the ice and cannot keep up with the freezing speed.

In another world line, this back-and-forth tug of war actually lasted for nearly ten days, which was far more torturous than the sudden collapse of this world line.

Early this morning, ice watchers at ten observation stations almost witnessed the tower collapse.

At that time, all the personnel at the observatory were busy hammering and banging on the work of manual de-icing.

As a result, the power grid that they had worked so hard to maintain day and night collapsed before their eyes...

What’s even more terrifying is the subsequent freezing rain.

Fucheng is a rainy city, with an average annual precipitation more than twice the national average. Now the situation has begun to fold.

Near noon, freezing rain formed ice, causing more electrical equipment to collapse.

Starting from the power outage in the counties under Fucheng, the entire Fucheng area was cut off from power within a short period of time.

The collapse of the power grid at such a transportation hub caused the highway passing through the area to also collapse.

At present, among the five vertical and seven horizontal main lines, the Fucheng Expressway section is ready to be closed along the entire line.

It has to be closed - more than 80 kilometers of road are covered with ice and snow, and vehicles are driving in to skate?

Of the 120-kilometer Fucheng section, only less than one-third is currently open to traffic and cannot operate normally at all.

But now there are at least 8,000 vehicles stuck in the Fucheng section, with tens of thousands of drivers and passengers in total.

"The more serious situation may be on the railway." Alia finally found the information she wanted: "Shonan Electric Tower..."

"In terms of railways, Fucheng is the first stop on the Beijing-Guangzhou line from Lingnan into Hunan Province. The Xiangnan power tower has been destroyed, and the entire Beijing-Guangzhou line is in a state of emergency."

As he spoke, Huo sighed, very tiredly: "Girl, your guess is right. It's terribly cold this year..."

"I'd rather my guess is wrong." Alia picked up the phone without looking up: "Switch to the satellite phone, connect to the head of the heavy industry department in Hunan Province."

"...Hello? Miss? I'm Cheng Hong from Heavy Industry!"

"Engineer Cheng, please remember that I will make the following deployment adjustments——"

"The fourth and eleventh engineering teams plus two mechanical transport vehicle teams will immediately go to Fucheng urban area for rescue."

"The second, third, seventh, eighth, and ninth engineering teams, plus the 17 transport vehicles of the sixth engineering team, are heading into the Hunan Province area."

"Ten engineering teams plus a communications vehicle group are on the core line of the Xiangnan Electric Tower in Fucheng, helping the railway and power systems to carry out de-icing support operations."

"Twelve engineering teams plus twelve communications vehicle groups, head south to provide support to the Lingnan region."

"The fifth and sixth engineering teams, two engineering teams support the Fuzhou Expressway section, and one engineering team is the general reserve team - repeat it to me!"

"Use the 4th and 11th engineering teams and two mechanical vehicle transport teams to go to Fucheng for disaster relief!"

"Two, three, seven, eight, nine, a total of five engineering teams, plus the 17 transport vehicle groups of the sixth engineering team, enter the Hunan Province area! "

"Ten engineering teams plus the communications team are heading to the Shonan power tower to help with de-icing!"

"Twelve engineering teams plus twelve communication vehicle groups, return to Lingnan area for support!"

"The fifth and sixth engineering teams support the Fuzhou Expressway section!"

"An engineering team, as the general reserve team—"

"Let me add one more thing." Boss Huo, who was listening nearby, added, "I suggest that we also add an all-terrain rescue team to the Fucheng front line."

The topography in Fucheng is complex and diverse, with hills being the main area and the area of ​​mountains and hills accounting for nearly three-quarters of the total area.

Ordinary vehicles are fine under normal circumstances, but climbing hills and bumps is like a dream nowadays.

Alia has a specially formed all-terrain rescue team. Nearly a hundred rescue vehicles are all octopus-shaped special engineering vehicles, which are just right for the purpose.

Alia nodded: "It's settled, let's do it--"

"yes! 』

Faintly, a dull whistle sound seemed to come from the other side.

It was probably the Fucheng section of the railway, where the old freight locomotives such as the Qianjin steam locomotives were pulled out to the main line, ready to face the wind and snow head-on.

Alia looked up at the leaden sky and sea outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and then pressed the core button to connect to the drone control system.

"The problem is, I don't know how many tables of guests I can entertain with this table of food..."

……

……

"Engineering Team?"

"Yes, the engineering team—"

The Fucheng officials were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that a construction team would fall from the sky.

But everything is fine. They were so busy before that they even used the forklift as a shovel loader. It would be great to have construction machinery.

Whether it is an excavator or a bulldozer, they are the great contributors to solving the urgent problem - the critical one!

Then they rushed out of the disaster relief command center, which was as cold inside and outside, and saw a huge group of engineering machinery vehicles...

"..."

After a brief silence, the Fuzhou officials began to pinch each other.

I heard that if you freeze too fast, something bad will happen, just like the little match girl who has hallucinations of happiness.

Now for them, the illusion of happiness is probably hundreds of construction machinery falling from the sky?

It’s not that Fucheng doesn’t have these things, every household has them - but just like Tianhai back then, they are everywhere when not in use, and cannot be transferred when something happens.

Given the size of Tianhai’s city at the time, they could only muster a total of twelve temporarily mobilized excavators. Was this not enough for Tianhai?

All I can say is that everyone is busy with these things usually, so who has time to get together and count them for fun?

Now Fuzhou's population of more than five million is all covered in frost, and people are digging snow everywhere to clear roads. There are only a dozen or so construction machines that can make it.

——But you...

"We just came over from the railroad line."

In fact, the heavy industry department of the Ai Group can only transport these construction machinery through the railway system.
