Please make money.

They deployed troops along the way, and when something happened, they simply crushed the thick ice, shoveled away the snow, and forged a straight line.

The Fuzhou authorities have finally come to their senses. Boss Tie! Boss Tie, are you here to save us?

"But your car...it doesn't look like it's used on the railway..."

Not only that, looking at the super-heavy truck with tires taller than a person, everyone began to worry about the load limit on Fucheng's urban roads.

Leading the way was an ultra-heavy-duty transporter from Ai Heavy Industries, which had a carrying capacity of 150 tons and a range of 3,000 kilometers on a single full load of fuel.

The most important thing is that this thing was derived from the Russian log carrier, and the ice and snow are like returning home for it.

Equipped with specially customized road de-icing front rollers and snowplows, this super-heavy-duty transport vehicle is equivalent to a land icebreaker.

Each engineering team has three of these big guys, more than thirty conventional construction machinery, and a total of fifty large and small equipment.

Alia has four large engineering rescue teams this time, each of which has 10 to 12 engineering teams under its jurisdiction.

An engineering team is equipped with 50 pieces of rescue equipment of various sizes, plus various communication vehicles, power generation vehicles and other supporting equipment.

This time, not only did Alia empty out all of Ai's Heavy Industry's assets, she also asked friendly companies to rent a lot of mining equipment to make up for it.

The engineering team from Hunan Province is the Fourth Engineering Team. It is led by Engineer Cheng from the heavy industry department, but also includes many other employees.

On average, each engineering regiment has several thousand people busy on the front line and in the logistics sector, and each engineering team has nearly 300 front-line mechanics alone.

Three hundred volunteers are just a drop in the ocean for Fucheng and cannot help the more than five million residents of Fucheng.

But what if these 300 volunteers bring more than 50 pieces of professional equipment?

What if there are ten such teams?

"The fifth and sixth engineering teams have already gone to the Fucheng Expressway section. They are responsible for clearing the ice and snow on that side of the expressway."

Engineer Cheng shook off the snow on his body and said, "But there are so many drivers and passengers on board. Some can leave, but some can't continue to go and need to be accommodated here."

"Okay, okay!" Fucheng official's eyes were filled with tears and he held Engineer Cheng's hand.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! We will vacate the resettlement site immediately! Live here! Right here!"

This city, which once fought against ice and snow in darkness for a month, has a heart that never gives up, and is now beating even more vigorously.

"Communication problem..."

"We have a drone communication base station that can provide basic communication relay, but this is only temporary and still needs to be repaired immediately."

As Engineer Cheng spoke, he had someone drive out a seemingly ordinary van.

The truck was large but didn't look heavy, and the tires with snow chains didn't sink too much.

But as the engineers were busy, the entire car's compartment opened on all sides, removing the accumulated snow.

A huge matte black drone hive with a strong sci-fi feel unfolds, and the heat waves almost distort the steaming ice and snow.

The citizens watching nearby were also stunned. They saw a dull buzzing sound starting to resound in the truck's compartment, and then one drone after another took off.

"It can carry 20 communication relay drones, which can act alone in an emergency to build a communication relay support platform."

In fact, these drones have another use, which is to be used as tethered drone systems.

In that case, these drones will have a small tail and will hover stably at an altitude of 70 to 100 meters, acting as a communication base station.

The entire system can complete takeoff preparations in five minutes. It is powered by a ground base station vehicle and can hover in the air for 24 hours if its tail is attached.

It’s just that it has different uses at different times. Although a drone only has an hour of battery life, it can still be very useful.

"Has technology advanced to this point?"

"Many of the current technologies are just not being used. There are more advanced ones."

"Oh oh oh... Oh yes, there's electricity! Is there any emergency power? We only have dozens of small generators..."

"Of course, we have a special emergency power supply vehicle, and there is a large amount of fuel in the carrier vehicle."

The engineering team of Ai Group focuses on being prepared for any eventuality, and they bring everything they should and shouldn't.

This kind of configuration really has nothing to do with technical content, it's just a matter of spending money, and if the budget is maxed out, everything will be available.

An engineering team can at least ensure the most basic road accessibility, emergency power supply and communication security for a living area of ​​100,000 people in the ice and snow.

"Our fourth and eleventh engineering teams are both in the city. Two mechanical transport vehicle teams, one is ensuring the smooth passage to the railway section, and the other is connecting to the highway section. If there is anything else you need help with, we can contact the group headquarters."

“…Are you a civilian rescue team?” The Fuzhou officials realized belatedly.

Engineer Cheng nodded and said, "We are a civilian rescue team, affiliated with the heavy industry department of the Ai Group. The official movements are much more powerful than ours. You haven't seen those big guys on the railway."

Given the size of the official organization, the number of people mobilized would not be just a few hundred or a few thousand, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of relevant personnel.

Engineer Cheng came from the railway section before. It is said that the railway has already restarted the old-timers such as Qianjin and Shangyou.

Electric locomotives can't move? Then use non-electric ones!

Boy, internal combustion engines—even steam locomotives—don’t underestimate our background!

An ultra-heavy transport vehicle manufactured by the Ai Group has a maximum load capacity of 800 tons and a full horsepower of over 4,000.

But this carrying capacity is nothing for a heavy-duty train. A heavy-duty train can carry up to 30,000 tons in one trip.

The amount of materials that a "small rescue team" like the Ai Group can carry is not as much as the amount that can be transported by a complete process after the national level has fully launched the process.

So, the same thing applies. What the Ai Group needs to do now is to help clear the snow and buy a few days or ten days for the dragon to wake up and move completely.

There has never been a savior, let alone any god or emperor. To create human happiness, we have to rely on ourselves.

But even so, Fucheng officials were still moved - and then they pulled the engineering team to start working.

Clear the road! Sweep the snow! Remove the ice!

Open up the expressway section! Reconnect the railway line!

Go! Fearless Fucheng! Run towards the dawn!

……

……

"Mom... there are so many people..."

"Yes, husband, why are there so many people?"

"Everyone wants to go home, so they can catch up - tsk, why is the plane still stopped?"

“I heard it was because of the snowstorm.”

"Snowstorm? It's not snowing here..."

The largest railway station in Lingnan, Yangcheng Station, is currently crowded with nearly 200,000 passengers.

That’s right, not twenty, nor twenty thousand, but a full two hundred thousand!

Only at this time can people have an intuitive feeling of how big Donghuang is and how many people it has.

In fact, there was no snow in Lingnan. Except for the northern Guangdong area where there was direct snowfall, other places were still relatively "warm".

But the problem is that human activities are social.

As the area with the most concentrated migrant population, tens of millions of people leave from the Pearl River Delta every year and return to their hometowns in the central and western regions for New Year reunions.

The Spring Festival travel rush basically begins at the beginning of January. This largest migration in human history is a major test for public services every year.

The movement of nearly 200 million people can even be called the largest migration of mammals on the planet.

Compared with such exaggerated data of 200 million people, the number of hundreds of thousands seems reasonable, or even too small to be worth mentioning.

——But what if these 200,000 people all gathered in front of a train station?

Because of the overload caused by ice on power lines, electric towers collapsed in various places and a large number of electric vehicles could not be started.

As for the road traffic, just like the previous Fucheng section, it stopped halfway due to the low temperature.

Even if the cars were able to move, the drivers didn't dare to drive them.

The ice on the road was several centimeters thick. The driver had experience driving, but he had never learned how to skate or ride a sled.

In the foreseeable future, there will still be a supply gap between drivers and passengers on the highway in order to survive.

By then, instant noodles and biscuits in some places will be sold at sky-high prices, with a pack of biscuits costing dozens of yuan and a bucket of noodles costing hundreds of yuan.

The more likely possibility is that many people are reluctant to spend money, or have spent all their money and can only go hungry in the snow and ice.

Under such circumstances, many provinces and cities are organizing rescue teams and starting to enter the highway sections to carry out emergency rescue and disaster relief.

But all this takes time, and time is the most precious and most ruthless thing in times of disaster.

"On the highway, the cross-border roads between Guangdong and Hunan are all starting to freeze over."

“How serious will it be?”

"If this continues, I'm afraid that except for the S8 Lianzhou Xingzi section, which can be used slowly, all other sections of the eight inter-provincial highways in the two provinces will be closed."

Some people looked up at the map and saw that red marks had appeared on the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and seven other roads in northern Guangdong, indicating that they were in danger.

“How many drivers and passengers are there on the road?”

"According to the data collected at various stations, there are at least 3.5 passengers, and the worst congestion is 18 kilometers long."

“All cars?”

“They’re all cars…”

"Can I go up?"

"It's difficult. They can't move, and we can't move either."

They are all the same people and the same car, and the rescue workers are just relying on their willpower and have no special advantages.

"More importantly, we can't even find out the follow-up situation of the road now..."

"Minister Li!" Someone came jogging over, whispered something in my ear, and then handed me a document.

"Have both the railway and power companies approved it?"

"Yes, they have already started to connect the entire line. This is the share they squeezed out. If we were to patrol the line, we would need it more."

"Drones? This kind of thing..." He pondered and opened the document, scanning it quickly, and then looked at the people in the command center.

The other party was an engineer from the group that provided the drone. He had just returned from Hunan and was said to have brought twelve communication vehicle groups.

In addition, Lingnan also has an entire engineering team with a total of ten engineering vehicle fleets on standby.

He strode over and shook hands with the person in charge of the other party: "Thank you very much for your assistance. Do you have any questions about the technology?"

"We will solve the technical problems. As for administrative approval, we may occupy the relevant emergency channels in the name of the official—"

"We are responsible for those aspects, such as road condition survey and basic communication relay. Can you do it?"

"We will do our best. Together with the Third Regiment, we are responsible for the problems of eight inter-provincial highways."

The engineer took out an emergency plan: "Cooperating with the official clearance team, we can concentrate our efforts to force open one or two of the eight inter-provincial highways to solve the current congestion problem in advance. In addition, we can also use special tracked vehicles to distribute relief supplies on the emergency lane."

"Good, good--excellent!"

"It is in terms of logistics support that we need official support."

"Whatever you need, as long as we have it, take it all! If we don't have it, just make a list and I'll get it for you even if I have to rob it!"

"It's not that urgent..." The engineer, who was not good at speaking, smiled and said, "Then we will get to work. Disaster relief is the most important thing."

"I'm counting on you all - when spring comes and the flowers bloom, I'll treat you all to a celebratory drink!"

……

……

"It's only the first day, and almost 200,000 people are already stranded. The number may reach 300,000 by evening."

"Didn't they say that the diversion had begun?"

“No one wants to leave.”

"We can't get stuck here. Activate the emergency plan and start diverting traffic immediately. This won't be cleared in a day or two."

According to the response from the railway, it will take at least 72 hours to fully restore railway traffic, even if the cold wave is still hitting.

And it’s more than that…

In other words, if these passengers are allowed to continue to be jammed here, Yangcheng Railway Station will become a place where people can only enter but not exit in the next three days.

In that case, the estimated number of stranded passengers will exceed 500,000. How is this possible?
