Great Power Technology

Following the direction pointed by the woman, Ye Zhou finally arrived at the main building of the Sichuan-Sichuan Laser Institute after nearly an hour of trekking. To his surprise, the building did not completely collapse. This was probably because he had considered this during the design. Located in an earthquake zone, the earthquake resistance level is much higher than that of ordinary civil buildings.

Therefore, most of the people in the building escaped safely, and only a few senior researchers who happened to be in the underground laboratory were still trapped.

The situation seems to be much better than Ye Zhou expected. At least they now have sufficient manpower, and even the people present have begun to organize rescue.

But the problem is that the entrance to the underground laboratory is located on the side of the main building and has been completely buried by the collapsed floor. Without the help of large machinery, it is impossible to open the passage in a short time.

"How's the situation?"

Ye Zhou walked towards a man who seemed to be acting as a temporary on-site commander and asked.

"It's okay, but we can't contact the staff in the underground laboratory. There is no signal and the sound can't be transmitted. We have to find a way to clear the obstacles and dig them out as soon as possible."

"The aftershocks are expected to come soon. If we don't hurry up, the structure of the building will become more and more fragile. By then it will be too late to save people. What do you do?"

Looking at the man's confused eyes, Ye Zhou replied without changing his expression:

"I'm a nearby resident. When I saw you guys gathering here, I thought I'd come over and help. Is there anything you can do?"

"There is no way, we need large machinery! We can only find a way to open some gaps first, at least pass the information on first. The depth of the underground laboratory is not too deep, there should be a way, let's try it first and then talk about it!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhou frowned and nodded. He walked towards the building and circled around the busy crowd, trying to find a stress concentration point that he could break through, but he soon discovered that , such efforts are simply in vain.

Buried under heavy concrete, it is a bit too far-fetched to think of using a mechanical structure to make a big difference.

But he did see a passage through the cracks in the ruins. This passage was extremely narrow, but after everyone continued to clean it, he could vaguely see the door of the underground laboratory below.

Someone came to the passage and shouted loudly below. After hearing the vague response, everyone at the scene became excited.

"They're still alive!"

Ye Zhou nodded slightly. He was indeed alive and in good spirits now, but that would not be certain after the aftershocks occurred 40 minutes later.

Just as he was wondering, a staff member suddenly appeared in front of everyone dragging a long optical cable. Ye Zhou looked closely and saw that it was an extended version of the optical cable detection camera.

As the optical cables were continuously laid down, the underground pictures were also transmitted to the screens above the ground, and the temporary drone base station also flew over the area. For a time, all voice and video communications above and below the ground were established.

The temporary commander excitedly dialed the underground phone, but just as Ye Zhou had experienced before, the researchers below could not receive the already weak mobile phone signal at all and could only communicate one-way through the landline.

Those above could hear their voices, but they could not hear the guidance from those above.

The detection camera was also stuck at the entrance to the laboratory, and the hearts of those who had had some hope suddenly sank again.

"It doesn't matter. At least we know now that they are safe. There is no other way now but to wait for rescue. Come on, everyone gather together and stay away from the building area!"

"It's too dangerous here. If there's an aftershock later, we might all be buried inside!"

"Xiao Liu, put the camera away, we will need it later!"

As he spoke, the commander led everyone to evacuate, but Ye Zhou held down Xiao Liu who wanted to get up.

"You go first and keep the camera for a while. I still want to take a look."

Xiao Liu looked at Ye Zhou in surprise and asked:

"What do you want to see? You can't see anything here. The camera can't go inside. Everything is blocked."

"I'm not looking inside!"

Ye Zhou shouted anxiously, his eyes fixed on the screen, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.

There is something wrong with this underground laboratory.

At the beginning of the design, this laboratory safe house should have an earthquake-resistant design, but it was born in the 1990s. There are major problems in both the overall design and the construction materials. It is likely that its structural strength It simply fails to meet the so-called design standards!

Judging from the information Ye Zhou saw in the video, the entire wall on the side of the safe house is densely covered with structural vulnerabilities. Such vulnerabilities may not have a big impact in normal times, but in the event of an earthquake, It will bring fatal danger.

Damn it!

Ye Zhou cursed silently in his heart.

Does anyone dare to steal such a national key project? ?

How crazy was that era?

However, it is too late to pursue the responsibility now. What he has to do is to pass on this information as soon as possible so that the researchers below can avoid the dangerous area as much as possible.

But do they still have a place to hide?

Sweat has begun to form on Ye Zhou's forehead. There are still up to 45 minutes before the aftershocks occur. Within these 45 minutes, they must get in touch with the underground to see clearly the structural conditions of the underground. At the same time, they must also be instructed on how to avoid danger in the aftershocks. , this is an almost impossible task.

He sighed secretly, planning to give up this simulation first, wait for the next time, rush to the research institute as quickly as possible, and then think of another way.

However, just when he was about to give up, another shout came from the cell phone of the commander behind him.

"We got the receiver, we got the receiver!"

Ye Zhou perked up, rushed to the commander, grabbed the phone without any explanation, and immediately said loudly:

"We are lowering the detection camera. Send someone over quickly, go to the door of the safe house and pull the camera in! I need to see what's going on inside!"

The commander on the side did not react for a moment. When he tried to snatch the mobile phone back from Ye Zhou's hand, he was greeted by Ye Zhou's firm eyes.

"I can give you the mobile phone, but let me ask you, was my command wrong?"

The commander was stunned for a moment, then nodded, came to the phone and said:

"That's right. He Gong, listen to him and find a way to send someone to drag our camera in. We have to see the internal structure clearly before we can find a way to rescue!"

"The underground structure is too fragile now, and aftershocks may occur at any time. We need to design a rescue plan based on the structure at your location!"

"Understand, understand! Su Rui is drilling forward! Wait, she'll be there soon!"

While speaking, Ye Zhou saw a slender, bloody palm appearing in the detection camera's screen. After a few short gropings, the hand finally grabbed the glowing camera, and then slowly pulled it away. Go in.

A pale, dusty and delicate face appeared on the screen. Her facial features had been twisted into a ball due to pain, but her movements did not stop at all.

When she finally retreated step by step into the safe house, everyone saw from the camera that her thighs and arms had been scratched with blood by the sharp gravel and metal in the ruins.

But now is not the time to feel sorry for her. Ye Zhou directed them to use cameras to scan the underground situation. As the pictures flashed by, his brows became tighter and tighter.

Just as he thought, the design of this safe house itself was flawed, and coupled with the impact of aftershocks, its structure was already fragile.

It is absolutely impossible for this to withstand the next aftershock. As long as an aftershock occurs, the safe house will inevitably collapse completely.

At this time, there were less than 40 minutes left before the aftershock occurred.

what to do?

The commander on the side was also watching the video. He kept comforting the people underground, but there was nothing he could do.

"No, the structure of this safe house has become fragile and it will definitely not be able to withstand the next aftershock. We have to find a way to move them!"

Hearing the commander's words, Ye Zhou was slightly surprised. He did not look back, but simply asked:

"Can you see the structural weaknesses inside?"

The commander shook his head and replied:

"I can't tell, it's just my intuition. The deformation of the safe house is too serious. It's worse than we expected. The quality of this bullshit project is terrible."

"What's behind the safe house?"

Ye Zhou interrupted him and asked calmly.

"later?"

The man was stunned and replied:

"There is a power distribution room at the back, which is used to generate electricity. There are many diesel generators inside."

"How high is the generator? How many are there in total?"

"The height is an ordinary large oil engine, more than two meters and less than three meters high - wait, you want them to hide in the power distribution room?"

Ye Zhou nodded slightly and replied:

"Only metal structures can withstand subsequent aftershocks. The metal strength of the core components of the diesel generator is very high, and coupled with other structural supports, it should be safer than a safe house."

"That's true! But the question is, how are they going to get there?"

Ye Zhou took a deep breath and said loudly into the phone without answering the commander's question:

"Comrades, follow my command. The wall behind you is about 110 centimeters from the ground and about 200 centimeters from the left wall. It is the stress center of this wall!"

"Find a way to break it open! The steel bars inside shouldn't be thick! Make a hole and get through it!"

After hearing Ye Zhou's words, the people in the camera began to look for all available tools in front of them, including a wrench, a broken steel bar, and a piece of falling concrete.

They kept banging on the wall, and the already weak concrete began to fall apart.

When a small hole appeared in front of Ye Zhou, he let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, there were less than 10 minutes before the aftershocks arrived.

"Hurry! Keep digging! You will succeed soon. After you get through, remember to hide in the corner on the side of the generator! Use the structure of the engine to protect yourself!"

As soon as Ye Zhou finished speaking, the scene in front of him suddenly went dark.

Then, the next second, he reappeared in the void.

Failed?

Ye Zhou looked at the ending settlement interface in surprise, and then the expression on his face instantly turned into surprise.
