Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

Chapter 144 There is a beam of light (Part 1)

More and more people heard the voice from heaven.

They have not received a bottle of water, a bag of food, or even a Band-Aid.

But the words from the loudspeaker awakened his firm will to survive.

Because they knew that outside, there was a group of people who were doing everything they could to save them.

Every time Qingluan-01 finds someone, it will hover and broadcast, providing a brief moment of light.

Stars dot the sky above Wen County, alternating continuously and forming a net called "hope".

At the same time, after being powered on, one bionic aircraft after another returned. Beside Baiquegou, hundreds of soldiers worked together to ensure power supply and battery replacement for Baixi and his men. The roar of diesel generators was continuous, and the open space on the broken bridge was like a busy factory.

Everyone is doing what they can, because time is life, and at this moment, this is the truth.

Bai Xi also obtained some images of the interior of Wen County from the returning Qingluan aircraft. Gradually, the "rescue points" became clearer.

But it also further explains...

The situation remains very serious.

......

Bai Xi stood at the edge of Baiquegou, trying to increase the communication distance as much as possible.

There are a total of 155 Qingluan aircraft brought in this time, and the number of self-organizing networks has broken through again. Even without Bai Ze's command, their own mechanical intelligence has been greatly increased. With Bai Ze's continuous adjustments, they can gradually play a role.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Another batch is about to take off!"

"Are there any fully charged batteries here? I need them anyway! Hurry, hurry!"

After Qingluan-01 entered Wen County, Qingluan-02 also began to take off in large numbers and headed towards the target.

Their mechanical claws hold a simple rescue pack, which includes a small bottle of 330ml drinking water, two rolls of gauze, hemostatic medicine, and chocolate that can quickly replenish physical strength. The total weight is 2kg, which is just within the reasonable load range of Qingluan-02.

Qingluan-01 patrols and searches for targets, while Qingluan-02 carries simple first aid kits and resource packs to deliver them. In essence, the logic is the same as the previous actual combat exercises, except that the paint bombs are replaced with rescue packs.

It is precisely because of this that “mechanical intelligence” can be so efficient, as it does not require relearning of mechanical behaviors.

The only pity is that the Qingluan-03, which has the largest carrying capacity, has to be temporarily grounded due to endurance issues.

Bai Xi couldn't help but sigh, "Energy is the ceiling of all technology..."

No wonder wherever there is oil, there is the Eagle Sauce. Without energy, nothing can be done.

This further strengthened Bai Xi's determination to obtain energy technology from the system.

The continuous delivery of limited but much-needed supplies by Qingluan-02 aircraft is the second shot in the arm for the entire rescue work!

But at the same time, with the intervention of the Qingluan aircraft, the information collected was more specific and less optimistic than that of the previous helicopter!

In the rescue command center, personnel from all parties were summarizing the situation.

"Conservative estimates suggest that more than 2 people are trapped, with approximately 8000 directly affected. Casualties...are currently unavailable."

"Food and water aren't the most important things right now. As long as the Baiquegou Ferry Bridge can be built, we'll have more than enough supplies. But those trapped, crushed, buried, or even seriously injured won't be able to wait until tomorrow. The golden window for debris flow rescue is even shorter than an earthquake, just a few hours..."

"If we wait until daybreak, the casualty figures will increase dramatically!"

"How long will it take to cross the bridge?"

"In the best-case scenario, we've already sent over a dozen soldiers across Baiquegou via zipline in five hours, but we've discovered the road ahead is completely covered in rocks and dirt. Forcing our way across is extremely dangerous."

"The engineers can handle this, but they have to wait until the bridge is built and the equipment is moved across..."

"What about that path you just mentioned? That Unicorn Mountain?!"

The person reporting immediately put on his headphones and went to the front line. He returned a while later with a very grim expression:

"They reached the summit of the Unicorn Mountain, but the other side of the mountain had collapsed completely due to the flood, forming a nearly 200-meter cliff, making it almost impossible to descend..."

Everyone in the rescue command center was silent.

No matter what, they will eventually reach Wen County...

But is there still time...?

At this moment, the person reporting in pressed the headset: "Wait... there's new information over there... the remaining part of the mountain is mainly rock, with a slope of about 70 degrees, which is suitable for setting up a rappelling cable. All the soldiers of the 9th Company over there... have applied for rappelling to Wen County."

A 200-meter cliff...rappelling in the dark?

Anyone who has received training knows how difficult this is.

Almost at the same time, the leader also received a call from a higher-level official: "Leader, this is..."

"What??? Nighttime airborne!?"

......

On the other side, on Unicorn Mountain, Zeng Youcai was lying on the edge of the cliff, listening carefully to the echo.

He had already thrown seven or eight stones from different angles and distances.

He couldn't open his eyes because of the rain, so he simply closed them and focused on his hearing.

"How about it?"

"Wait... Let me confirm again..."

After a while, Zeng Youcai said, "It is confirmed to be a rock structure with a slope of about 70 degrees, but I can't be sure if there are any bulges or looseness along the way..."

The company commander nodded and reported the situation back.

While waiting for orders, Zeng Youcai was a little nervous: "Are you really going down like this? Isn't it too dangerous?"

The company commander said, "If we put all three cable cars together and connect them horizontally, there shouldn't be any problems as long as we don't rush..."

Of course, this is only theoretical. No one can predict how it will work in practice.

Zeng Youcai looked at the young man, who was not even his age, and asked hesitantly, "Then... aren't you afraid? It will be much safer when daybreak comes."

The young man smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid. Who wouldn't be afraid of death?"

Zeng Youcai: "Then you..."

"As a soldier, it's okay to be afraid of death, but you can't be afraid of difficulties, and even more so, you can't be afraid of orders. Seven years ago, I tried rappelling at night in Sichuan Province. If you're careful, it shouldn't be a problem."

Zeng Youcai opened his mouth and said, "Seven years ago..."

He was filled with awe. No wonder he became a company commander at such a young age...

The drizzle in the sky was still falling, taking away the soldiers' body temperature.

Looking down from Unicorn Mountain, it can be said to be pitch black.

But they all knew that Wen County was there, and thousands of disaster victims were there, waiting for them to come and rescue them.

Finally, they received orders from the rescue command.

"Prepare for rappelling. Ropes and equipment will be brought up immediately. Complete all preparations before 1 a.m. and pay close attention to the instructions!"

"One o'clock is the moment of the decisive battle!"
