233: Successfully rescued! The first survivor!
Besides the modified Hex Tech Mosquitoes, there's also a batch of modified Ant?
The Deputy Captain was stunned when he heard this.
Because the walkie-talkie was on speaker mode, the other rescue experts present also heard Su Yu's words.
Everyone's gaze turned to another large wooden box that Su Yu had left in the shelter.
Earlier, everyone's attention had been drawn to the live broadcast from the drone, and no one noticed that when Su Yu took a box and left, there was still one remaining.
"Mr. Su, these Ant?"
The Deputy Captain hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but ask.
He didn't distrust Su Yu's words; he was just curious.
The modified Hex Tech Mosquitoes could do the opposite, actively seeking out humans and delivering nutrient solution. What special abilities did these Ant have?
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Su Yu explained.
"For the modified Ant, I've upgraded the hardness of their limbs and added a power transmission system."
"Originally, Ant could lift objects more than four hundred times their own weight and move objects more than one thousand seven hundred times their own weight."
"With the enhancement of this power transmission system, if the Ant link up, their combined carrying capacity can increase by a thousandfold!"
"Initially, I planned to use the queen Ant's brainwaves to command the Ant colony to move debris from the ruins. But the situation is urgent right now, with over forty rescue points needing immediate excavation and rescue."
"I only brought three thousand Ant this time. If they are too dispersed, their strength will be greatly weakened."
"So, by having the Ant colony form a force wall underground to resist deformation caused by excavation, and cooperating with the on-site rescue personnel using large excavation equipment, the overall rescue efficiency can reach its highest."
Su Yu's words were a revelation.
That's right.
If there were only a few rescue points, relying solely on hex technology would be perfectly feasible, perhaps even faster than their own excavation.
But there are too many rescue points, and the number of hex technology units is too small; at this time, humans must still be the primary focus.
"Understood, Mr. Su. Then we will wait until you have retrieved the Hex Tech Mosquitoes before sending in the rescue personnel!"
While making his decision, the Deputy Captain immediately issued orders to the waiting rescue team.
Extreme Rescue Live Stream.
The Host looked at the live footage sent back from the front, and like the audience, he was anxious.
Through the camera, they only saw the aftershock occur; as for the actual situation on site, they knew nothing and could only worry helplessly.
"Reporter Xia Cang, how serious is the situation caused by the aftershock? Will it affect the subsequent rescue?"
As a frontline reporter, Xia Cang's professional abilities were also excellent.
She quickly learned the latest news through her own means.
A hint of joy appeared on Xia Cang's face.
"Hello, Host. According to the latest news just received, the aftershock did not cause a second collapse and did not interrupt the nutrient delivery process."
"Moreover, according to news from the rescue command center, after the nutrient delivery concludes, the team will directly use large excavation equipment for the rescue!"
The Host's reaction was also very quick.
He keenly noticed the key information!
Previously, when the rescue was underway, they had not seen the team use large excavation equipment through the live drone footage, relying solely on rescue personnel for manual excavation.
Everyone had been wondering why this was the case.
At this moment, the Host asked precisely that question.
Xia Cang heard this and explained.
"Previously, large excavation equipment couldn't be used because the underground situation was complex, and it was easy to cause secondary harm to survivors under the ruins during the excavation process."
"But it's different now. I heard that Mr. Su, who just arrived, brought amazing hex technology that can solve this problem!"
"That's right, the Mosquitoes everyone saw before are precisely from this so-called hex technology."
The camera shifted, and the live broadcast screen cut back to the ruin site.
Su Yu, who had returned to the rescue location, began to retrieve the Hex Tech Mosquitoes.
During the retrieval process, electronic sensors were also tallying the loss of Mosquitoes in this nutrient supply mission.
Originally, there were five thousand Mosquitoes in total, and finally, four thousand five hundred and ninety-seven were successfully retrieved!
Losing over four hundred in the first mission didn't make Su Yu feel distressed; instead, it was somewhat beyond his expectations.
It seems the aftershock was not without impact on the Mosquitoes' mission; otherwise, calculating by the attrition rate, the Hex Tech Mosquitoes wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses.
However, as long as the mission is completed, everything is manageable!
After all the Mosquitoes were retrieved, the on-site rescue team immediately arrived at the ruins.
Under Su Yu's repeated assurances, they first attempted to excavate the ruins where the structure remained relatively stable.
Inside the large wooden box, dense lines of Ant crawled down through the holes in the ruins; their orderly formation was like a well-trained parade!
And this scene once again stunned everyone!
It is well known that Ant are creatures with low individual intelligence, but their collective intelligence and teamwork abilities are astonishing.
They can communicate by secreting pheromones, which can convey information to companions and even "draw maps."
So, complex underground environments are simply not an issue for them!
Through division of labor and cooperation, soon, a force wall composed of two thousand Ant penetrated into the underground ruins!
Above, excavators weighing several tons rapidly carried out emergency work, while underground, the Ant army formed a large net, firmly locking onto the structure to ensure that survivors deeper down would not be injured!
After more than ten minutes!
The large debris that was originally difficult to clear and piled up was all dug away, revealing the messy ruins beneath. After completing their task, the Ant immediately dispersed and moved on to the next excavation protection point!
After re-localization and confirmation, the rescue personnel were now less than two meters away from the survivor.
At this distance, with no large architectural debris blocking the way, the rescue difficulty had significantly dropped from the initial hellish level to an easy one!
With the well-trained cooperation of five or six rescue personnel.
A few minutes later!
The first survivor was successfully rescued from beneath the ruins!
When she was rescued, although the survivor looked disheveled and felt numb all over, her mental state was quite good.
Because she had leg injuries, after being pulled out from underground by rescue personnel, she immediately got onto a medical stretcher.
One must know, at this point, she had been buried under the ruins for three and a half days without food or water!!
This was a miracle for everyone!
"She's out!!! She's out!!"
"Quick, medical personnel, come over! Check her physical condition!"
