Chapter 805 Divine soldiers descend from heaven

The air at the port was filled with the pungent smell of sodium cyanide, and the orange-yellow poisonous fog spread with the sea breeze. In an apartment building three kilometers away from the center of the explosion, when the sleeping residents were awakened by the falling ceiling, the window was already a hellish orange-red.

When the second group of firefighters entered the scene on the still smoking scorched earth, the sky of the entire Xinjin Port was still illuminated by the flames in an eerie purple-red color, like a never-ending calamity.

After the second main explosion, the explosion did not disappear, and multiple warehouses throughout the port continued to explode one after another.

The news quickly spread to the Internet. At that time, Chen Xi was chatting with Tian Zhongyou in a hotel in Xinjin.

They also felt the main explosion just now. After learning the news online, Chen Xi couldn't help but clench his fists.

I clearly wrote an anonymous letter of accusation, so how could this still happen?
"Fuck, the goods at the port..." Tian Zhongyou jumped up from his chair.

You know, there are nearly 7000 tons of agricultural raw materials there, worth about million US dollars.

"Let's go, let's go to the port!" Chen Xi hurriedly put on a coat and went downstairs in a hurry.

Outside the cordon outside Xinjin Port, the restless crowd was in chaos. The bosses of various companies looked pale, and the port staff looked confused. Everyone was blocked in a safe area two kilometers away from the port.

"My goods! That's an order worth hundreds of millions!" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes beat his chest and stamped his feet, his high-end leather shoes constantly grinding the sand and gravel on the ground. Several small bosses beside him looked even more pale, and some of them had already collapsed on the ground, staring blankly at the pillar of fire rising into the sky in the distance.

The orange-red flames twisted wildly in the night sky, and the explosions rolled across the port like thunder. Each explosion triggered a new round of commotion, and some people tried to break through the checkpoints, but were stopped by the fully armed guards.

"You guys, do you know what's in those containers?!" A boss with a face full of flesh suddenly jumped up, grabbed the garrison officer by the collar, and spit in his face, "Those are precision instruments to be shipped to Europe! Now it's all over!"

The officer calmly pried open his fingers and said, "Sodium cyanide leakage has been detected in the port area. Entering now would be suicide." But the other party completely ignored him and kept shouting.

The two city leaders, Huang Li and Wang Feng, immediately set up a city-level command center and served as the on-site commander-in-chief. The on-site joint command center was composed of the Fire Brigade, Environmental Protection Bureau, Health and Family Planning Commission, etc.

Huajing also formed an investigation team and rushed to Xinjin.

Since the explosion involved highly toxic chemicals, even the military district's chemical defense regiment was called in to detect poison gas and control sodium cyanide leaks.

"There is sodium cyanide on the scene, and we cannot use water and foam to put out the fire. What should we do?" Wang Feng frowned and looked at a middle-aged man next to him.

This person is Fan Cheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a fire science expert.

Fan Cheng quickly gave a solution: "Water and foam will increase the humidity of the environment, causing sodium cyanide to hydrolyze into HCN, exacerbating the spread of toxic gas. If the fire is caused by surrounding combustibles, such as ammonium nitrate, and the sodium cyanide itself is not burning, it is necessary to deal with the combustibles instead of sodium cyanide. We need to use dry powder and carbon dioxide to extinguish the surrounding combustibles, such as organic matter and wooden boxes. Avoid using water-based fire extinguishing agents to directly cover the sodium cyanide pile. After the ammonium nitrate explosion on site, the sodium cyanide storage area was scattered by the shock wave, and some powder was exposed to a high temperature environment, which has already created the risk of HCN. I suggest that the chemical defense forces use hydrogen peroxide to spray the sodium cyanide contaminated area, which reacts to produce non-toxic sodium cyanate, and then use sand to bury it to isolate the air and prevent the spread of sodium cyanide dust. Thousands of detection points should be arranged to monitor the HCN concentration in the air and define the evacuation range..."

"Then let's follow Academician Fan's plan!" Commander-in-chief Huang Li nodded.

"Wait a minute, the situation inside is very bad now. We have no idea where the dangerous goods are..." Fan Cheng waved his hands quickly.

"Report... All members of the Fifth Brigade..." At this time, a firefighter suddenly rushed in.

Outside the quarantine area.

Two young men quickly got out of a Mercedes-Benz.

"What should I do with so many people..." Tian Zhongyou wiped the sweat from his forehead as he looked at the wall of people in front of him.

"Go and take a look." Chen Xi waved his hand seriously.

In the crowd, Shen Xinyi looked at the thick smoke in the distance with a pale face.

The warehouses that he had worked so hard to renovate were reduced to ashes in less than an hour.

When she received a call from the company, she rushed here as soon as possible.

"Chen Xi, why are you here?" At this time, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away.

"Xinyi, I just saw the news. Here are my goods..." Chen Xi explained briefly.

When he came, he was already recalling how he had rescued the fire in his previous life.

Faced with other dangerous explosive materials in the port, the rescue work was extremely difficult and more than a hundred firefighters were injured.

Looking at the time, it should be the third continuous explosion. So, the first rescue team should...

"I want to see your leader. I have something important to report!" Chen Xi grabbed the arm of a guard officer and shouted.

However, the other party thought he was one of the bosses who had caused trouble before, and just snorted coldly and pushed him away.

"Chen Xi, what's the matter?" Shen Xinyi next to him naturally knew that he was not fooling around.

"There must be flammable and explosive items in there. Now that the fire is so big, we must sort out the goods, divide them into different areas one by one, and put out the fire separately!" Chen Xi grabbed Shen Xinyi's hand and explained hurriedly.

Looking at the anxious man in front of her, Shen Xinyi didn't ask him what he could do, but nodded. She quickly picked up her phone and called her father.

At the same time, Chen Xi also dialed the numbers of Fan Hongyuan and others.

The rescue work now is a race against time. Wang Feng in the command center suddenly received several calls. He looked at Huang Li who was giving orders not far away, hesitated for a few seconds, and then walked over quickly.

Huang Li's position is higher than his, so he should ask for his opinion first.

"Hmm? Is there a way to put out the fire? Let them in." Huang Li gave the order without much hesitation after hearing the report.

At this time, if it was one minute later, the situation on the scene might be different.

Just now, the three of them discussed some fire-fighting plans. Wang Feng proposed to use military aircraft to drop dry powder to extinguish the fire, but Fan Cheng rejected it. Because the height of the military aircraft cannot be accurately dropped, and the dry powder dropping device must be installed in advance. In addition, the composition of dry powder is ammonium phosphate or sodium bicarbonate, and the mixture with hazardous chemicals, such as ammonium nitrate and sodium cyanide on site, may cause uncontrollable chemical reactions, such as the release of nitrogen oxides.

Huang Li suggested using military aircraft to load sand and soil to put out the fire, but Fan Cheng said it would take too long. How many times would it take to transport sand and soil to put out the fire? Although the efficiency was a bit low, Huang Li still asked people to prepare it.

Not long after, Chen Xi and Shen Xinyi were sent to the command center.

The leaders looked at the two young men in front of them, and couldn't help but look at each other, and then their faces immediately fell.

They originally thought they were experts, but they turned out to be two little brats.

However, with the idea of ​​trying everything possible, Huang Li still asked, "Do you have any way to put out the fire?"

Chen Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "There are dangerous chemicals everywhere. It is very dangerous and inefficient to send people in to put out the fire. I have thousands of drones nearby that can be used to put out the fire. They are already on their way..."

Hearing this, the two leaders looked at Fan Cheng at the same time.

The latter pondered for a few seconds, nodded, and shook his head: "This method is feasible in theory. Although the load capacity of a drone is not large, it is another matter if there are thousands of drones. However, the flight time of drones is too short, and the batteries need to be replaced frequently, so the actual combat efficiency may not be high. In addition, the high temperature at the fire scene has exceeded 1000 degrees. With the material of the drone body, it is likely to melt and the battery explode. When the battery temperature exceeds 150℃, the isolation film between the positive and negative electrodes melts, causing an internal short circuit in the battery and instantly releasing a large amount of heat energy. After a single drone explodes, the resulting deflagration fragments may penetrate neighboring drones, triggering a domino effect. The total energy of a chain explosion of a thousand batteries is equivalent to 500kgTNT..."

After hearing what Academician Fan said, both leaders were disappointed.

"Our drones are the most advanced in the world, with a lot of high-tech features... My idea is to use drones equipped with thermal imaging and gas detectors to draw real-time heat maps of the fire temperature and HCN concentration to guide ground operations. Then send some drones to deliver hydrogen peroxide to the sodium cyanide contaminated areas for local neutralization to produce non-toxic NaCNO. Since the temperature of the fire is too high, use drones to accurately deliver dry powder on the periphery, and then use bulldozers to quickly build sand isolation zones, advancing layer by layer..." Chen Xi immediately expressed his thoughts.

This is not much different from Fan Cheng's earliest proposal.

This time, Fan Cheng did not object. Huang Li and Wang Feng also thought this method was feasible, and immediately asked people to make a detailed plan.

Just after Chen Xi finished the call, a large number of agricultural drones and export products that Xiaojiang Company was preparing to deploy in the north were taken out of the warehouse, placed on work vehicles and transported to Xinjin Port.

At the same time, towns and logistics centers around Hebei Province, Xinjin and Huajing also successively dispatched work vehicles loaded with drone equipment.

Under the cover of night, transport vehicles carrying drone carriers sped along the highway, like an iron army rushing to the battlefield, gathering towards Xinjin Port in a mighty manner.

At the fire scene, the second batch of firefighting reinforcements have been deployed.

The exhausted rescuers were still fighting the raging fire, but due to the large fire, firefighters kept falling down due to high temperature burns. The air was filled with a suffocating pungent smell and explosions. Fortunately, Chen Xi's arrival changed the entire rescue plan. These people just tried to control the fire and prevent it from spreading, and the injuries were not as serious as in the previous life.

Firefighters stood outside the fire scene, holding dry powder fire extinguishers, facing the raging flames. The moment the dry powder was sprayed, it turned into a white mist in the high temperature and was swallowed by the flames as soon as it came into contact with the flames.

The protective mask was soon covered with thick salt frost, and sweat kept rolling down the skin that was reddened by the high temperature.

"Fill in! The dry powder stock in area B3 is running low!" A hoarse roar came from the intercom.

A young firefighter was carrying a dry powder fire extinguisher weighing more than 40 kilograms and moving quickly, but before he could get close to the fire, a wave of heat knocked him to the ground. When he struggled to get up, he found that the hose of the fire extinguisher had been deformed and cracked by the high temperature.

"What a damn temperature! The dry powder vaporized before it even hit the ground!" The fire captain wiped the salt stains off his face. Through the thick smoke, one could see that his eyebrows had been burnt yellow and curled by the high temperature.

Temporary medical area.

In the medical tent, the strong smell of disinfectant mixed with the smell of burning. An emergency doctor in a blue protective suit was kneeling on a stretcher, intubating a firefighter with severe burns all over his body.

"The burn area is 60%! Prepare a cold pack!" Before the doctor finished speaking, two more firefighters with black faces were carried in. The head nurse pulled back the sterile gauze, revealing a bloody gash on the injured man's charred arm.

Outside the tent, medical staff wearing armbands were setting up a second medical point. A young nurse was trembling as she gave the wounded an injection. Her protective mask was full of fog, and she couldn't see the location of the blood vessels at all. "Get out of the way!" Vice Dean Liu Mei grabbed the needle and accurately inserted it into the vein under the light.

An ambulance braked suddenly, raising a cloud of dust. The doctor on board jumped out of the car and yelled into the intercom: "We need plasma! At least 2000CC!" On the stretcher, the bloody arms of the firefighters were still hanging with half-melted pieces of protective clothing. Medical staff pushed the stretcher and ran wildly, and the rubber wheels left deep ruts in the mud.

In the command center, Huang Li and Wang Feng listened to the various negative news that kept coming in, and both of them wiped the sweat off their foreheads nervously.

"Leader, Hai Rui Chairman Yu Xuexue has been controlled." A man in uniform walked in and saluted the two men.

"I don't have time to deal with this kind of problem now. The fire scene is the most important thing right now. Um... when will the drone arrive?" Wang Feng shouted, pointing at Chen Xi not far away.

"The first batch will take about fifteen minutes to arrive." Chen Xi answered while on the phone.

"There's no time. Isn't that a land aircraft carrier of yours? Just let the drone take off!" In a hurry, Wang Feng actually said the funny name that Chen Xi had just given to the work vehicle.

Come to think of it, drones are much faster than ordinary cars.

"The leader is worthy of being a leader! One sentence really wakes me up from my dream." Chen Xi replied and started giving orders into the phone.

"It's already this time, and you still don't forget to flatter me!" Shen Xinyi muttered softly beside him.

Before long, on several land-based aircraft carriers several kilometers away, the rotors of hundreds of drones began to hum at the same time, lighting up dazzling blue navigation lights in the darkness.

The next second, the entire highway seemed to turn into a river of light, the roar of the engine shattered the night sky, and the strong winds stirred up by the rotors lifted the green belts on both sides of the highway. Like a migrating swarm of bees, they drew brilliant light tracks in the night sky and headed straight for the direction of Xinjin Port!

The residents in the surrounding area looked at these unidentified objects in the air with curiosity, taking pictures frantically with their mobile phones and posting them online.

Social media immediately exploded with live footage that continued to set new click-through rate records.

At this time, outside the fire scene, the soldiers who received the order were already on high alert. Wearing protective masks, they formed groups of two, carrying standardized dry powder supply tanks, thermal imaging, and gas detectors, and quickly lined up in the designated area, their eyes fixed on the night sky.

The air pressure in the command center seemed to have dropped to freezing point. Everyone stared at the central screen with bated breath. Suddenly, a dense array of lights lit up on the screen. Hundreds of drones appeared over the fire scene like heavenly soldiers, with neat arrays looming in the thick smoke, and the blue navigation lights looked particularly cold under the reflection of the fire.

"Attention, all troops," the commander-in-chief's voice was transmitted to every soldier through the radio, "The first batch of drones has arrived, and we are ready to hand over firefighting materials!" (End of this chapter)
