[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

Joey was pushed staggeringly, and stared at the rushing figure in a daze for a moment.

An ominous premonition suddenly surged in her heart—she suddenly recalled that the historical Antonio Gaudi was knocked down by a tram and died!

Huge uneasiness suddenly exploded in the chest, and the sky was spinning.

Joey pressed his chest, breathing quickly.

calm down!If they are not calm, both of them will die.

First aid for electrocution, first aid for electrocution... insulators!

Where can we find insulators in this era without plastic and rubber?

"Wait a moment!"

She rushed up, "Pick up a stick! Dry! Don't touch her directly!"

She exhausted all her strength, and the last few words were almost broken.

Antonio didn't look back.He had already run to the railing, and suddenly raised a branch that he didn't know where he had broken it.

Joey rushed over too.

Antonio, using the lever of the railing, was trying to pry the girl's body and turn her out of the track.Limited by the angle, it is still not fast enough.

"Talking..." The sound of the tram braking was getting closer.Although the driver has stepped on the brakes, the heavy carriage is still approaching rapidly under the huge inertia.

The buzzing sound became more and more obvious, which was a sign that the current at the leakage site increased as the tram approached.

His eyes were stern, and he just focused on picking up the branches in his hand, as if the deafening noise, vibration and fierce cold wind did not exist.

Not so much.The train is close at hand.

If you don't take back the branches, you will be in danger!

A slender hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbing the corner of the girl's cotton skirt.Antonio was taken aback, and violently stirred the branch——

With a crisp sound of "click", half of the branch broke inside the railing, and the girl was dragged out of the railroad track.

"Boom, boom—" the tram roared past.

The half of the branch was engulfed by the strong and messy airflow, flew out with a "swish", and hit the railing with a "slap" and snapped into several knots.

Joey was too nervous, and while trying to pull the girl out, he lost his balance and fell down.

Unexpectedly, he fell on a pair of powerful arms.

A low, angry voice sounded in her ears, almost hoarse: "You don't want to die?!"

The breath that had been kept in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Joey lay paralyzed in his arms, panting like a dying fish, his chest heaving violently, and intermittently said, "See if she's breathing..."

To rescue an electric shock, you can grab the person's dry clothing and drag him away from the live body-as long as it does not touch the person's skin or shoes.She still wants to die.

"Manla!" A crying voice came, and a girl ran over, shouting as she ran, "Manla! How are you doing!"

She rushed forward, put her hand under Manla's nose, and screamed, "She's not breathing! She's dead!"

Joey broke free from Antonio's arms and threw himself to Manla's side with all his strength.

She had learned the five steps of CPR in the volunteer association at the university.Calm down, now is the time to come in handy.

"Manla? Can you hear me?" She patted the girl on the shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and pinched her again.

Nothing happens.

Joey's heart sank, and he pushed Antonio: "Hurry up and find the carriage! She has to go to the hospital."

Antonio wanted to say something, but she pushed him again: "Can you give first aid?! Go!"

With the gradually weakening screeching noise, the speed of the tram gradually slowed down and stopped not far away.Dozens of passengers who jumped off the tram, together with the crowd who had just scattered and fled, began to slowly gather here.

"Is there a doctor? Can people do CPR!" Joey shouted to the crowd.

No one should.A young man boldly asked, "What is that?"

Seeing Manla's unconsciousness, the others commented in fear, "He died so suddenly..."

"Poor girl! What was that just now? It was terrible..."

"I will never dare to cross the railway tracks again in my life..."

"But this young lady is still trying... Does she remember returning to life?"

It was clearly a cold winter day, but Joey was sweating finely on his forehead.

no solution anymore.Although she is not professional enough, in this situation, she can only do it by herself.

She grabbed Monica, who was at a loss, "raised her chin, pressed her forehead with the other hand, and let her head fall back. Listen, is she still breathing?"

As Joey ordered, he hurriedly untied Manla's tight corset.It's damn stylish!The clothes are too tight.

Monica did as she did, but her hands were shaking badly, and soon she sat slumped and burst into tears: "She's dead... Manla is dead..."

Joey took a deep breath, held back the throbbing veins on his forehead, and said through gritted teeth: "She's not dead, she was electrocuted and unconscious! I'll come."

After breathing and heartbeat stop, every moment is fighting death.

Joey focused, all his thoughts were on recalling the cardiopulmonary resuscitation he had learned, and on the unconscious girl at this time.

The hustle and bustle of the whole world was far away from her, and she only heard her own rapid breathing.

Pinch the nostrils and give two artificial breaths.

In sight, Manla's chest bulged.

Press on the center of the chest.Fold your hands together, interlock your fingers, and keep your arms straight without bending.Press hard!

This action has a certain chance of causing rib fractures, but in a first aid scenario, restoring heartbeat and breathing is the first priority.

Thirty compressions, two artificial respirations.repeat.

Joey didn't even have time to wipe off the sweat. When the sweat trickled down into his eyes, it was already cold, and his eyes hurt from the sting.

Monica on the side is getting more and more desperate.But she didn't dare to disturb her, she could only cry silently.

Suddenly, Monica saw Manla's fingers move.

"Manla!" she screamed in surprise, "Are you awake!"

Joey is doing artificial respiration.Monica lowered her head to Manla's chest, smiling through tears: "She has a heartbeat!"

There was an exclamation in the crowd. "Really!" "God bless!"

"Rang Rang! The carriage is coming!" There was a crisp sound of the whip, and the hiss of the horse tore through the silence.

Everyone avoided.The carriage soon stopped beside Joey, and the coachman and Antonio jumped off together.

"Someone help!" Joey called to the crowd.

Seeing everyone hesitantly backing away, she was heartbroken: "Trust me, it's not a curse! It's not a devil! She was just injured by electricity—someone proved it 100 years ago, it's just the same thing as lightning!"

"I, I can... I have to go to the hospital with Manla..." Monica's hands were shaking, but she still moved closer.

"I'm here to help!" The young man who just boldly asked what cardiopulmonary resuscitation is is stood up from the crowd, "I'm an atheist and I'm not afraid of those things."

"Then I...I will help too." A gentleman wearing a top hat stood up hesitantly, "This lady has already performed miracles, and I believe that God will bless those who help others."

More people came over and replaced Joey, whose arms were sore from exhaustion, and Monica, who was shaking like chaff.

"Pay attention to maintain this position," Joey exhaustedly instructed them to carry the girl into the carriage, and then sat in and continued to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. "Go to the nearest hospital that can treat lightning injuries. Tell them—— according to the method of being struck by lightning. The first aid method in the book will do.”

When the carriage drove away from Montjuïc, someone finally woke up from a dream and chased after the carriage, shouting, "Miss! What's your name! Can I interview you!"

……

Early the next morning, the streets and alleys of the city of Barcelona were shocked by the headlines on the front page of the "Barcelona Daily"——

"Back to life!The Mysterious Girl Montjuic Demonstrates Magic"

The newspaper sold out in a short period of time, setting a record for the fastest out of stock.People who witnessed the whole process at the scene danced excitedly, bragging about the magical girl to their relatives and friends.

"That girl died hard! Then the magician drew a few spells on her body, and her heartbeat and breathing recovered!"

"I swear, I saw the Virgin Mary apparition behind her! Angels garlanded her!"

"I feel that some things are going to be pulled down from the altar... This is a victory for people."

Of course, many people have a deep fear of trams because of this.However, because the reporter described the miraculous performance of the girl's resurrection in too much detail, while the cause of the accident was briefly mentioned, most people's attention was naturally attracted to this unprecedented miracle.

"She has god-kissed purple eyes...and works miracles. I think that's saying Miss Fernandez!"

Anna Guell sat on the carriage home from the train station and said excitedly to her parents.They had just returned to Barcelona from a trip to Warsaw, Poland.

The thin blond girl sitting next to her put down the book in hand and looked at the newspaper quietly and curiously.

The Count and Madame Guell looked at each other, and they both saw the same unbelievable and inexplicable certainty in each other's eyes——

I'm afraid it really is her.

The next day, Count Guell specifically inquired about the situation, and took a bouquet of sunflowers with his wife to St. Paul's Hospital.Joey was indeed here.

But unexpectedly, they were stopped outside the ward.

The butler Pascal hadn't said anything yet, but Antonio bowed slightly: "She's sick, and it's not convenient to see guests now. I can help deliver the flowers."

"Uh..." Guell looked him up and down suspiciously.Why is he there?

Did something happen during his absence in Barcelona that he didn't know about?

Guell was embarrassed to ask, but the Countess didn't know Antonio, so she politely and naturally said, "Oh, that's right. Are you...?"

"I am her architect." He replied calmly.

Because of the continuous running for many days and the sweaty last blow of rescuing people on the Montjuic Mountain, Joey and Manla lay in the ward of St. Paul's Hospital with a high fever for several days.

On the contrary, it was Manla who came to the rescue quickly, and it didn't take long for him to be alive and well again.

She even began to accept interviews, vividly describing the scene at that time to everyone, and became a celebrity for a while—"Manla, who can't be kept by death"!

The reporter who interviewed Manla actually wanted to interview another patient, but they were stopped by the hospital in the end. The patient had a grumpy family member who never came to accompany him. People wait to disturb her rest.In particular, journalists must be stopped.

He even gave them a detailed list of many loopholes that reporters might take advantage of - pretending to be patients, medical staff, entering through toilets, escape routes, and even climbing windows.Breathtaking.

"Oh my God, he knows so well, why didn't he do these things himself?" The medical staff discussed privately.

However, even though the hospital was strictly guarded, it still failed to stop the crazy reporters from quickly digging out the name of Miss Magician.

In a few days, everyone who followed this miraculous event knew that she was the current owner of Montjuic, Miss Joy Valena de Fernandez.

That's her!Patent holder of the paper clip!Partner of Siemens!

An insider who did not want to be named said that it seems that the rose milk tea shop is also an asset of this magical lady.

When the public was discussing the miracle of the lady and her resurrection, Erwin led the Barcelona branch of Siemens to fight for several days and issued a technical report on the cable leakage accident.

Due to an error in the water permeability data of a soil layer in the geological survey before construction, the tramway built on the Montjuic mountain was designed to be powered by an underground cable wrapped in wood.

The tram was running normally from the time it was built a few months ago until winter, but with the arrival of winter rains, the wooden skin was soaked by the rainwater seeping into the ground, the insulation performance deteriorated, and eventually a leakage point was caused.

Based on this technical report, the police department also announced the results of the investigation soon.

The few dead sheep found for the first time should have been electrocuted by the leakage point the night before the discovery.The power supply voltage of the tram is not high, and the electric shock will not directly lead to death, but it is enough to paralyze the nerves of sheep or people. Before a few sheep died, the tram passed by and killed them.The second dead sheep unfortunately struggled for a long time at the accident point, and finally died of cardiac paralysis caused by electric shock.

As for the poor herdsman, the cause of his death had nothing to do with the tram.The city hall has long publicized not to walk in the field during thunderstorms, let alone close to trees.But he somehow managed to climb the tree and was eventually struck by lightning and killed.

——Why this poor man made such a common-sense error will probably remain an unsolved mystery forever.

As a result, both Siemens and the survey department of the city hall are liable for compensation.Fortunately, they were just a few sheep—when they were almost killed, they were rescued by Miss Fernandez.

In addition, the design of power supply on the hill needs to be improved, and the streetcar power supply system in the neighborhood also needs to be re-evaluated.

Around this incident, different newspapers reported countless versions, such as the devil, the curse, the poison... all kinds of things, plus a gimmick of "returning the dead to life", attracted the attention of the whole city.

But one thing is undeniable - as the public's highest curiosity was answered after the report was released, the citizens of Barcelona began to have a new understanding of the existence of "electricity" for the first time.

What exactly is electricity?

A motivation?Is it just like steam...?

The steam engine has been very useful.And steam doesn't kill.

On the day Joey was discharged from the hospital, the reporter who got the news in advance squatted at the entrance of St. Paul's Hospital, and surrounded the girl who was so curious by the whole city in a specially surrounded area.

Surprisingly, this pale lady also brought some strange instruments with her.But the reporters couldn't control that much anymore, they rushed forward——

"Miss Fernandez! Can you tell me about the magic of bringing the dead back to life!"

"And electricity! Can you describe this terrifying power?"

"Is there anything you want to tell everyone!"

"I won't bring the dead back to life. That's just cardiopulmonary resuscitation - everyone already knows the relationship between blood circulation and the heart. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is to help people whose heartbeat has temporarily stopped to passively circulate blood, so as to prevent the whole body from dying of oxygen failure. This First aid is not difficult, I have already taught it to the medical staff of St. Paul's Hospital, and they will teach it throughout the city."

"As for electricity," the thinner girl coughed softly, "it's electricity like thunder and lightning. It can make the car run, heat up, and turn on the lights—"

She pressed the switch on the instrument panel, and a small raised metal seat suddenly burst into light, "Pfft!" It turned on for a moment and then went out.

"Ah! It's too fast!" Most of the reporters were annoyed that they couldn't capture that moment, and only one person exclaimed in surprise: "I got it! I got it!"

"This is the electric light I'm working on," Joey spread his hands, "it's just not very successful, as you can see. The main reason is that the temperature is too high at the moment of lighting up, and the filament oxidizes and breaks all of a sudden, making it impossible to continue to shine. .A vacuum is needed to solve this, but existing technology doesn't seem to be working. I hope you can tell everyone-"

The girl smiled: "Electric lights are much safer than kerosene lamps with open flames. Experts and scholars with relevant experience are welcome to join in the research and develop it as soon as possible."

"I will share the experimental data, and the premise of using it is not to apply for an exclusive patent."

Joy wasn't going to patent the light bulb.It's not her own creation, and it's important to improving people's lives.

She is not short of money now, but she just hopes to use electric lights as soon as possible.

"It's amazing..." A reporter murmured, "I have a hunch that the world is going to change..."

"Okay, having said all that," Joey sighed, feeling a little weak, "I just want to say, I'm not a witch. It's not magic."

"It's science."

At that time, she just wanted to go home quickly and collapse on the bed. She never thought that what she said casually would be written by the reporter as a golden rule in the newspaper, and it would be widely recited for a while.

But she did predict one thing.

"It also has a name—New Era."

The author has something to say: In the 70s and [-]s, the second industrial revolution emerged, and mankind entered the electrical age.

The earliest famous case of artificial respiration first aid——"The Kiss of Life": In July 1967, an electrician named Zion Anping in Florida, USA was electrocuted and fell into a coma while rushing to repair high-voltage lines.Another electrician, Thomson, climbed onto the pole and gave him mouth-to-mouth breathing before the ambulance arrived.This scene happened to be taken by Morobito, a photojournalist of the local "Jacksonville Evening News". This photo of "Kiss of Life" won the Pulitzer Prize the following year and became one of the classics in human history.

Regarding the leakage accident of the tram track: the earliest tram designs (Siemens and Edison) all used track power supply, which, as you can imagine, has major safety hazards.In the process of actually putting it into use, different solutions have been adopted in various places, such as an underground cable wrapped in wood, a third rail, and two overhead cables.By 1883, the design of an overhead wire combined with a pantograph invented by Siemens was first applied, and it has gradually become the standard design of streetcars since then.

However, to this day, there are still occasional reports of electrocution accidents when crossing tram tracks on rainy days.Technology is improving, but perfection is hard to come by—after all, one loose screw triggered the crash of the Space Shuttle Challenger.Unfortunately, the progress of human civilization is often built on the bloody lessons learned.

The author who was squeezed out raised a small white flag: I will be on a business trip next week, and I will try my best to update it every day, but I may ask for leave... QAQ please forgive me!
