Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

When Tao Yang went to purchase supplies, Yuan Xia drove to the provincial government. The emergency office was in a hurry, and the province was organizing rescue activities.

Yuan Xia found a staff member and explained his identity and purpose of coming, whether the disaster area needs support engineering equipment, which can help clear the road and move the ruins.

The staff quickly said: "Thank you very much, we need engineering vehicles very much. Now it is a mess, and Dujiangyan and Mianyang have called for help."

Yuan Xia asked: "I heard that the epicenter was in Wenchuan, where do we need to go for support?"

The staff said: "Wenchuan has completely lost contact with the outside world. I will ask the leader for instructions."

Soon, the staff came back and said, "Go to the direction of Yingxiu, the road may no longer pass."

Yuan Xia went to the province to report, mainly because he was afraid that he would cause trouble. After all, construction machinery is a big guy. If the road conditions are overwhelmed, it will be difficult to turn around on the road, which will add burden to the rescue and delay the rescue.

When Yuan Xia returned to the distribution office, the colleagues from the Chengdu office had already assembled. When everyone heard that they were going to rescue the disaster area, no one flinched. They all signed up enthusiastically, including female colleagues.

The dealer expressed his willingness to go to the rescue with him because he can drive an excavator.

Naturally, it was too late for Yuan Xia to welcome, and now everyone who can drive an excavator has been called.

Tao Yang's illness just happened, Yuan Xia arranged for him and his female colleague to buy supplies, and asked them to come later, while he took the team to the disaster area first to rescue.

Yuan Xia drove a flatbed truck, which carried an excavator, as well as temporary purchases of water, food, medicine and tents.

There were a lot of vehicles on the highway to the disaster area. The provincial government organized a rescue team immediately after receiving the news, including firefighters, armed police fighters and medical staff.

Many Chengdu citizens also spontaneously organized to go to the disaster-stricken area for disaster relief when they got the news.

It was still sunny when the earthquake started, but now the weather has started to change, and it looks like it is going to rain.It's only after five o'clock, and the sky is getting dark. It must be after seven o'clock in this season to get completely dark.

The motorcade on the road was very long, and Yuan Xia was a little worried about whether the car could drive to Yingxiu smoothly.

After driving for nearly two hours, the car entered Dujiangyan, and it was already dark.

The impact of the earthquake was obvious. There were many damaged houses along the road, some collapsed, some cracked, and obvious cracks appeared on the road surface. Finally, the car could not move.

I had to stop and ask what was going on. Not long after, someone sent a message saying: "A landslide ahead has completely blocked the road. I can't get through. I have to turn around."

Yuan Xia looked at the other lane where no cars were coming, turned the steering wheel, entered the opposite lane, drove forward, and drove a long way before reaching the accident road.

The waiting car looked at the excavator pulled by Yuan Xia, and someone asked, "Is that excavator for rescue?"

"probably."

"But it's a new car."

Yuan Xia skillfully retreated the excavator from the flatbed truck, ready to clear the road.This area has passed through the Western Sichuan Plain and entered the mountainous area, very close to the epicenter, but the road was more damaged, cracks, rocks and mud can be seen everywhere.

Yuan Xia immediately rolled up his sleeves and started working, and his colleagues also joined in. Excavators, drillers and bulldozers all went into battle.

They dug the soil and rocks to the side of the road with a shovel. When they encountered rocks that were too large to move, they replaced them with rock drilling machines to break them up, and then cleaned up the rocks.

As the cleaning work progressed, Yuan Xia discovered that after clearing a short distance, there were still more landslides and mudslides waiting for them.

He realized that his thinking was still too simple. He never thought that the damage caused by the earthquake would be so great. It was like landslides and ground cracks. The road ahead was completely submerged by the landslide mudslide. , It is impossible to repair the road.

He was not prepared enough, the tonnage of the excavator was not enough, and he did not arrange a dump truck to load the soil and stones, so the efficiency would be very slow.

Yuan Xia took out his mobile phone and looked, as expected, there was no signal again, so he had to ask a young man driving a private car to return to Dujiangyan to find a dump truck, and asked him to call his assistant Tao Yang, so that He transferred large-tonnage excavators, loading trucks and dump trucks from Chengdu. If he didn't have one at home, he rented it from a car rental company.

After receiving his commission, the young man quickly turned around and ran back. At this time, anyone who can contribute is willing.

Everyone was working in the dark, and someone planned to walk into the disaster area on the way. It sounded like Yingxiu. Everyone came to persuade him: "It's too dark, and you don't know what's going on on the road. If you fall and get injured, or encounter aftershocks , so what should we do? Maybe your family members are fine, but they will come to worry about you in the end. "

Finally, under everyone's dissuasion, this man gave up the idea of ​​rushing in the dark. A man in his thirties cried like a child, his parents, wife and children were all in Yingxiu.

Yuan Xia turned grief into strength and worked desperately. Thinking that the road ahead will be like this, it is really hopeless.

Yuan Xia and his colleagues worked together to quickly clear the road despite the danger of aftershocks rolling down the rocks, because this is also a life channel. Only when the road is opened can the injured victims be sent to Chengdu for treatment and the rescue supplies can be transported. Come in.

There were several small aftershocks on the way, and some rocks rolled down the mountain. Fortunately, they were not too big and did not hit cars or people.

I was busy until midnight when suddenly it rained heavily.Earthquakes are always accompanied by heavy rain, as if God is crying for the lost lives.

Many people who were waiting to go to Wenchuan for rescue turned around and went to Dujiangyan, which is [-] kilometers away from Yingxiu. The disaster situation in Dujiangyan is also very serious.

The rain engulfed the soil and washed the entire road into a muddy soup, so their excavation work had to be suspended.

Yuan Xia sat in the cab of the excavator, looked at the water world outside, and thought about the victims trapped in the disaster area. Standing against the sky in the rainstorm, guarding one's buried or seriously injured relatives, screaming that every day should not be done, and the earth is not working, what kind of panic and despair should this be.

The heavy rain lasted for more than an hour and finally stopped. Yuan Xia decided to continue working. Someone came and knocked on his car door. It was Zuo Yan, the person in charge of the Chengdu office. He brought some dry food and water: "Mr. Yuan, eat Get something."

Only then did Yuan Xia realize that his stomach was growling violently at this moment. He remembered that he hadn't eaten at all last night, and he had completely forgotten to eat.

Yuan Xia took it over and said, "Thank you. Xiao Zuo, I plan to walk into Yingxiu tomorrow. If you are willing to go with me, you can go with me. If you don't, you can stay and continue clearing the road."

Zuo Yan nodded: "I'll ask everyone."

After a while, Zuo Yan came back: "Everyone is willing to go with you."

Yuan Xia said: "Leave one person behind, our car also needs to arrange for someone to dock with the people coming from behind."

At dawn the next day, Yuan Xia, his colleagues, and a few Wenchuan fellows who were eager to go home carried as much dry food, water, and medical supplies as possible, and set foot on the road to Yingxiu.

There are four employees from Yuanxia, ​​the dealer, and five or six fellows from Wenchuan, a total of ten or so people.

The road was completely broken. Fortunately, there were local fellows leading the way. They climbed mountains and ridges, crossed ditches and rivers, and had to avoid mudslides that could landslide at any time. They were covered in mud.

At noon, they met a group of victims who were walking to Chengdu for help. The adults and children had nothing but dirty clothes on them. At this time, it would be good to save their lives.

Seeing Yuan Xia and the others, they all cried: "Did you come from Dujiangyan? What's the situation outside? Yingxiu collapsed, everyone was collapsed by the earthquake, and many people died!"

Yuan Xia's eyes turned red, and he said, "We came from Chengdu. Chengdu is very safe, but Dujiangyan is more serious. If you go out, there are many cars and people outside. They will send you to a safe place."

The fellow villagers who came in from the outside began to tell them how to get there.

A little boy looked up at Yuan Xia: "Uncle, I'm hungry."

Yuan Xia hurriedly took out chocolate and water from her body and handed them to him: "This is for you."

The child took the water bottle, twisted it, but didn't unscrew it, Yuan Xia hurriedly unscrewed it for him: "Drink it."

The child took a sip of water and returned the bottle to Yuan Xia: "Uncle, here you are."

"You take it, uncle still has more." Yuan Xia said, "Give it to your parents."

The child's mother said: "We don't drink. We will have water to drink when we go out. When you go in, it is rare to find water to drink inside. Leave more for the people inside."

Yuan Xia had no choice but to put the water away: "Then you must pay attention to safety and arrive in Chengdu safely."

The woman wiped her tears and said: "You should also pay attention to safety, thank you!"

After bidding farewell to them, Yuan Xia embarked on the road of moving forward again. After going through many difficulties and obstacles, it took more than seven hours to finally arrive at Yingxiu Town.

Along the way, all the houses I saw turned into ruins, and almost no complete house was seen.

But when he saw the appearance of Yingxiu Town, Yuan Xia was still deeply shocked. Even though he had seen it on TV, seeing all this with his own eyes was still too tearful. The whole Yingxiu Town had been razed to the ground. Flat ground, no less than the aftermath of an atomic bomb explosion.

The fellow villagers who came with them had long since separated from them, and they were anxious to go back to find their relatives.

Yuan Xia and his colleagues entered the town. In front of some collapsed houses, some people were clearing the ruins with bare hands, trying to rescue the people who were crushed underneath.

More people gathered at Yingxiu Primary School, because there is an open playground where they can avoid aftershocks.

What's more, there are more than 300 children buried under the collapsed classrooms, and people are clearing the bricks and rubble with bare hands, trying to dig out the buried children.

Heart-piercing cries and cries can be heard everywhere, the cries of people looking for their loved ones, with deep fear and despair.

The playground is full of people, old people and children who are terrified, people who are injured and people who have lost their lives.

Yuan Xia's tears rolled down uncontrollably. If there were not so many accidents, he could make it here in time, maybe he could save all the children here, and it wouldn't cause such a big tragedy.

They distributed the food, water and medical supplies they brought to the victims, and quickly went to the rescue. Without tools, they could only carry them by hand.

Some children were buried under the rubble, and they groaned in pain. Their parents and teachers talked to the children hoarsely to comfort them, while moving bricks, hoping to rescue the children as soon as possible.

The dusty adults were working mechanically, and their bodies were covered with someone's blood. Their ten fingers had already been worn out, and the blood was flowing.

They don't know thirst, hunger, or fatigue. Their only thought is to dig out the buried children and rescue every living person.
