Chapter 696 The result is worrying
The sound of a convoy entering from afar interrupted the brief peace - a new support team had arrived. Although darkness still enveloped the earth at this time of night, the dawn had already appeared, bringing a glimmer of hope.
Yang Youning led a group of people to the outside of the steel plant, and only when he saw the situation in front of him did he feel relieved. "Old Yang, why are you still here!" He said to his companion who was exhausted but still insisted on directing the dispatch on the scene. Although the chaos at night made him anxious, fortunately, everything is going in the right direction. Then he turned around and told the staff, "Tell everyone to pay attention to safety and take care of yourself first."
In this way, with the efforts and cooperation of all parties, the orderly development of rescue and post-disaster work has gradually restored order in this area, and people's lives have begun to return to normal.
"It seems to be Secretary Zhou calling. He wants to talk to you about something."
Tian Wenbo immediately handed the spoon to Lin Qiang after hearing this: "Please notify everyone to eat."
After saying that, he hurried towards the office.
When I arrived at the office, Dahuang was still beside me, lazily wagging his tail and taking a nap with his eyes squinted.
"Secretary Zhou, I'm Tian Wenbo!"
"Oda, I just received instructions from my superiors."
"This time, an earthquake occurred in De'an, Yan Province, with an initial estimated magnitude of 7.0."
"De'an? This place is not far from Yunshi City!"
Tian Wenbo had a deep impression of De'an, knowing that it was south of Yunshi City. If a place as far away as Sihai City was affected so severely, then the situation in Yunshi City, which was closer, would be even more critical. The horror at the epicenter was beyond words, not to mention that Yan Province was a densely populated province, and this earthquake...
Tian Wenbo felt a chill.
Although I had guessed that an earthquake might occur near the four seas, I had never expected it to be so large. If it was a magnitude 7.0, it would be a disaster.
What Tian Wenbo didn't know was that this earthquake actually happened in history, but the magnitude was 6.8.
However, this time the scale rose to 7.0, causing more serious damage to the surrounding areas than in the original history.
When Tian Wenbo was thinking, Secretary Zhou sent another message:
"Mr. Chen just called. We have completely lost communications with the earthquake-stricken area. We don't know the exact situation."
"We also tried to contact a machine tool factory in Yunshi City, but we couldn't get through."
Tian Wenbo immediately understood what was going on.
The previous arrangement was to send Wang Yong and Sun Jun to Yunshi City to repair the machine tools. They have been there for more than half a month and have not returned. Tian Wenbo tried to communicate with them because some parts were damaged and needed to be replaced. Later, the other party said that they were able to manufacture them themselves, so he tried it himself. However, after a week, he found that it didn't work and asked for help from the machinery factory. Finally, the machinery factory sent the repaired parts over. Counting the time for postage, they are probably still in Yunshi City.
"Did you try to contact the Seventh Inning?"
"I tried, but lost contact with them. I don't know the details."
Tian Wenbo frowned, "Did the higher-ups give any new instructions?"
"Mr. Chen suggested dispatching local militia and troops to rescue."
Tian Wenbo was silent for a moment, then replied, "I know, I will arrange it as soon as possible!" He hung up the phone and walked out of the office with Da Huang and drove to the machinery factory.
The streets were filled with residents cleaning the streets and rescue vehicles running around the streets. Collapsed buildings were quickly cleared. Ambulances whizzed by, and people used wheelbarrows to carry the injured to the hospital.
Tian Wenbo drove to the factory gate with a serious expression, and saw that the guard booth had fully activated security measures, and the workers were also cleaning the site in an orderly manner. These scenes were not there when he arrived last night, but now everything is obvious.
When I arrived at the office area, I saw Zheng Wei dialing a number.
I sat down to rest for a while and frowned. Suddenly, I heard a conversation.
"We have people in Yunshi City!"
"Okay, we'll find them."
"Militia? We can't contact them. We can only seek information from those nearby."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Wei looked heavy.
"What about the steel mills? Has it been affected?"
"It's OK. Only one steelmaking converter was damaged and several workers were injured."
"How is Liu Changming?" "Not sure." The two talked about the situation, and then Zheng Wei said, "I called Baoyang to inquire, and the news I got was worrying."
"Do they know the specific situation of Yunshi City?"
"Well, I have some understanding - fires have broken out in many places and communications have been interrupted."
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. Zheng Wei quickly answered the call.
"Hello, it's Zheng Wei!"
A few minutes later, the call was hung up. "Mr. Chen asked us to go to the south immediately to assist in disaster relief."
"Should we participate too?"
"Exactly."
"Do we have to go through Yunshi City?"
"probably."
Tian Wenbo immediately asked to join, but was rejected. Despite the different opinions of Lao Yang and Director Liu, after fruitless discussions, they decided to let someone else lead the team.
Zheng Wei shouted to the staff, and then Yang Youning came over. After hearing about this, he resolutely stopped Tian Wenbo and claimed that he would go to Yunshi City instead, but was questioned and opposed. Finally, the three of them discussed together and determined the dispatch list. It included five members (including Tian Wenbo) and his dog Wangcai. They were equipped with tools, medicines, and sufficient water and food, ready to go at any time.
Before leaving, Yang Youning repeatedly reminded: "Safety first!" Director Liang gave him protective gear as a protective measure. Liu Changqing was also smoking silently beside him, seemingly thinking about something.
As the armored vehicle slowly started and drove away from the machinery factory, everyone shouted loudly to encourage Tian Wenbo and other expedition personnel. The scene was moving. They waved their hands in response.
"How is that possible? How can we just give them such precious technology?"
"Even if we have to exchange, we have to exchange their core technology."
Mr. Zhang added, but Yang Feng snorted coldly.
"It's useless even if we give it to them. We can't produce it even if we get it. On the contrary, once they crack the technology on the Kuiniu armored vehicle, it will be easy to copy it with the industrial strength of the alliance."
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang was thoughtful. He usually focused on military affairs and didn't know much about production. After hearing Yang Feng's explanation, he understood why his superiors rejected this proposal.
"Okay, we will be the vanguard. Don't worry about the others. We will move forward all the way. We will cut through the mountains and build bridges over the water until we reach Shuncheng."
"Okay, we'll follow behind and separate when we get to Stone City."
The two discussed for a while. The convoy had already loaded all the necessary personnel and supplies. Yang Feng came to the front of the car, checked the car and replenished some necessary items before waiting in the car. After a while, Li Hua started the car and followed slowly. After leaving the base, the convoy sped up, and Yang Feng leaned on the seat to rest and soon fell asleep.
