Livestreaming the Hunt - Chapter 554
If there is a way, Australia would have put out the wildfires long ago, and will it be allowed to develop to the land it is today?
The scene of the North Mountain Fire in Zhoubei.
The vanguard of the three fires retreated 300 meters again.
Among them, Wolgert is the most serious. The lack of personnel, coupled with the high winds brought by the low-pressure group, made the difficulty of fire fighting here linearly increased.
“Report to the commander, the Air Force Operation Unit Albatross 1 has sent a message that the three fire scenes have been completely integrated, and the super wildfire has completely formed! Repeat…”
At this time.
News of military operation command came from the walkie-talkie.
Shock!
After Wang Kuigang heard the report, the flames in front of him instantly stirred up a vortex tornado. For a time, sparks splashed and thick smoke rolled, and many firefighters were sprayed into a large number of flames.
“Be careful! It’s Huoxuan! Protect the facilities!”
Du En shouted from the side.
The fire swirl is a horizontal vortex caused by the inconsistent air flow velocity on the same plane. As professional firefighters, this is the last thing they want to see.
This is because when a fire spin is generated, it not only increases the risk of extinguishing fires, but most importantly, this is often a signal that the fire has begun to spread faster!
“Wang Kui! Something’s wrong, the fire suddenly became fierce!”
Du En asked Wang Kui on the walkie-talkie.
At the same time, the vanguard captains of the other two fires also reported separately that the fire suddenly became uncontrollable.
“The fire field merges, and the super wild fire is formed!”
As soon as Wang Kui said this, everyone’s hearts almost stopped beating.
Before it was fully integrated, everyone had already delayed very hard. Now that the super wildfire is formed, isn’t it powerless to resist?
For a time.
It is not only these firefighters, but also the friends in the live room, the construction team, volunteers, and even the people watching the scene in front of the TV.
Everyone’s heart is like the eggplant that frost beats.
Frustration, loss, panic.
Even in the southeastern coastal cities, some people have begun to pack their bags and book tickets to leave here for refuge.
Just when everyone’s mood is down to the extreme.
Wang Kui suddenly said, “Don’t panic, we still have a chance!”
what! ?
When Du En heard these words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Kui who was putting out the fire with a water gun, his eyes full of expectation and shock.
The super wildfire has already formed, and with these people just now, it can’t be controlled at all!
Although everyone has this idea.
But everyone still wants to hear Wang Kui’s plan.
“Since the super wildfires have been integrated, the air support forces do not need to fly into the fire scene. The efficiency is low and the danger is high. The previous multi-point breakthrough plan is temporarily put on hold. All are changed to one impact, full control tactics!”
“All the existing vanguard forces will be fully deployed to the main fire. The second team and the support team dug a “U”-shaped fire line to completely lock the fire in the fire zone, and then the Air Force bucket operation implements precise positioning and watering!”
“When the two teams in the state rush over and all support Volgut, based on the current fire and wind speed, this plan is completely timeable to implement!”
Wang Kui quickly explained the new action plan again.
Lock the fire head!
He was going to lock the main fire completely, regardless of the remaining fire on both sides.
This program can be said to be very risky.
This tactic is often used when the fire endangers residential areas and important facilities, and will pose a huge threat to the safety of the country and people’s lives and property.
But for now.
It has indeed reached this critical moment!
“Everyone listened to the order, set up a “U”-shaped fire line, and the vanguard moved closer to the center, focusing on the fire!”
Du En felt that this plan was feasible, or in other words, he really couldn’t think of a better method than Wang Kui.
After 20 minutes.
The two fire brigades sent by the chief of fire department from the state finally rushed over. Suddenly there were two more formations, forty or fifty people, and Walgert’s fire fighting pressure finally dropped.
More than half an hour later.
With the full acceleration of the second team and the backup troops, the “U”-shaped fire line was finally dug.
“Release! Air Force bucket operation, implement it immediately!”
Wang Kui quickly arranged for the vanguard to retreat. Without the water gun, the flame instantly burned into the “U”-shaped area. From the aerial view of the drone, it looked like a stubby stick out of the fire field. Fingers.
[Good guy, is the fire better than the middle finger? 】
[I don’t know if I can succeed! 】
[Lao Kui and the others have been tired all night, don’t fail! 】
…
Buzzing.
At this time, in the sky, a huge Boeing C-17A transport plane was flying from a distance with a big bucket hanging.
Shock!
With the pouring of the bucket, the pilot did not make the previous mistakes this time, mainly because the “middle finger” also looked conspicuous at high altitude.
The waterfall-like water smashed down, and the fire head in the center U-shaped area, as if drinking with a stick, directly smashed the fire.
The violent sound of boiling water set off a white mist of water.
Du En and others subconsciously swallowed, staring at the surrounding fire.
When the water vapor gradually disappeared, the U-shaped area suddenly became a burning coke forest, and the line of fire next to it seemed to have become lost children. Without the guidance of adults, they began to panic. ,No progress.
“Sit Huo! It’s Sit Huo! We made it!”
Du En exclaimed, even clenched his fists in excitement.
The so-called sitting on fire means that the fire slows down and becomes weaker, which is conducive to fighting the fire. Its antonym is to start a fire.
Everyone did not expect that if they concentrated on locking the fire, the effect would be so good!
Wang Kui is really amazing!
In the sky, the reporters and photographers of the ABC TV station can see the most clearly. They don’t understand the magic power of this method. They just poured water and the whole line of fire came to a halt.
Audiences watching the live broadcast throughout Australia began to wonder about this mysterious Chinese man wearing a black explosion-proof helmet and sounding very young.
Suddenly, someone started to check the Internet.
I don’t know if I check it, I’m surprised when I check it out, all kinds of thrilling video clips, and bizarre experiences, it’s just dazzling!
Wow!
But before the firefighters were happy for long, Jiao Lin in the U-shaped area began to whirl, and the surrounding flames rose rapidly, as if they were beginning to reignite quickly.
“The flame is re-igniting extremely fast, everyone hurry up and concentrate on the U-shaped area to attack!”
After speaking, Wang Kui was the first to rush up, along the edge of the fire line, and began to spray foam inside.
The rest of the vanguard team rushed up along with them.
As long as the effect can be seen, the fighting spirit of this group of people will start to burn, even more prosperous than a super wildfire!
Some members of the second team inserted the water tanker to replenish the water and did not dare to idle. They directly picked up the shovel, dug the soil on the spot, and raised it towards the fire, trying to isolate the flame.
So repeatedly.
When a “U”-shaped area was breached, Wang Kui and the others replaced it.
They only care about the fire, and ignore the line of fire on the side.
The time has gradually changed from two o’clock in the morning in Australia to 5 o’clock in the morning.
Yes it is.
Wang Kui and the others started the super wild fire at 9 o’clock and worked for almost all night.
The audience in the live broadcast room stayed up all night to watch him with him. Many people even drank coffee and ate Red Bull to see whether Lao Kui could put out this super wildfire.
But the reality is.
They have continued to retreat to 500 meters beyond the second cordon!
Continue to go one kilometer away, which is the position of the third warning line. Once the fire burns there and the anti-burn line has not been completed, it means that the action has failed!
The engineering department just sent a message on the walkie-talkie that the entire anti-burn line has been 90% completed!
It depends on whether the remaining percentage is completed first.
Still the fire burned to the third position of the cordon first.
[I don’t understand why Lao Kui has to fire the fire line first, and the fire line is still so wide, can’t I just ignite it directly? 】
【For such a big fire, no fire line is set up. What if the fire does not burn back after it is ignited, but it is burning right now? Doesn’t it mean digging one’s own grave? 】
[Hope the anchor can succeed! 】
[Firefighters are not easy. I stayed up all night in the bed and I was too sleepy, not to mention Lao Kui and the others worked all night and barely rested! 】
…
The water friends in the live broadcast room began to send barrage to pray, and some people even paid for the cost of [Stopping for a month] and [Twenty catties thinner]. I hope the engineering team will dig out the fire belt as soon as possible.
It is early in summer in Australia.
In a short while, a whitish whiteness appeared on the horizon, which finally opened up a respite for the firefighters who had been suppressed by the black mist all night.
But breathing does not mean rest.
The wildfire is still burning.
The distance to the cordon three.
From 1.3 km.
It became 1000 meters.
700 meters!
“Mom, if the fire can’t be extinguished, will it burn to us?”
A little blond girl in pink pajamas, standing by the door, holding a plush teddy bear in her arms, looking at the red clouds on the north side, and her eyes flickering and asking. .
Her mother gently touched her daughter’s head and kissed: “Don’t worry, it won’t!”
but.
When she finished speaking, the husband had just walked out of the house with a big suitcase.
It’s not just this family.
In the three cities within the scope of the super wildfire, all the residents packed up, hugged each other, or nervous, or sobbed.
After all, no one would be reluctant to leave the home where he had lived for so long.
“Master, take another step. It’s only 400 meters away from the last cordon!” Seeing that the fire in the U-shaped area in front of him could no longer be controlled, Oda Nagama turned off the water gun and prepared to evacuate.
After Wang Kui ran to the safe zone, he took off his helmet, his eyelids swelled unreasonably.
Including Chenkov and others on the side are also exhausted.
He shook his head slightly, staring blankly at the red flame before him.
Dongfang Miao walked over and handed over a wet towel and energy bar.
Wang Kui took it, but she found that the other party’s arm was shaking all the time.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Miao immediately grabbed his hand and pulled his lower eyelid closer, looking at the large amount of red blood in the white of his eyes and the excessively contracted pupils, worrying: “Wang Kui, your pupils are already very light sensitive. Now, take a break. You haven’t had a rest since you came out to save Dunn and the others.”
“Just the last step…”
Wang Kui murmured and wiped his face, “If I leave at this time, everyone’s hearts will be lost…”
That’s right.
Dongfang Miao admitted that a large part of the reason why everyone has been able to hold on to the present is to believe in Wang Kui.
Right now is the last juncture. If Wang Kui ran away at this time, it would be hard to guarantee that the firefighters would not think that the action had failed, which would cause panic.
“Let’s go, hold on for the last half an hour, and the engineering team will be able to finish it! I calculated that time is enough…enough…” Wang Kui dropped the towel, swallowed the high-calorie energy bar in his mouth, and chewed. It didn’t take a few strokes of his work, and he swallowed it in his stomach.
Talking.
Wang Kui put on his helmet and dust mask again, faced the fire and smoke, and rushed up quickly.
For an instant.
Many viewers suddenly thought of the 19-year-old firefighter in Jinmen Port, the most beautiful retrograde man. The backs of the two seemed to be overlapping.
At this moment.
Tigerfish APP, Tigerfish International Edition, Australian ABC TV, the governor, the chief of the fire department, the chief of military operations, the mayor, countless pairs of eyes, are all watching the front line.
Zizi…
“Report to the commander, engineering unit and volunteers to successfully complete the fire belt and anti-burning object setting, and you can start lighting at any time! Repeat, commander…”
Just as Wang Kui was holding a water gun to deal with the flames in front of him.
In the walkie-talkie, there was a sound of radio interference, and then there was a message from the engineering commander.
“determine?”
Wang Kui pressed the intercom and asked back.
“OK, it’s all set up!”
[666, finally succeeded! 】
[Hahaha, it’s done! 】
[Congratulations Lao Kui! I can finally rest! 】
…
Since the radio port in the live broadcast room is very close to the walkie-talkie, the audience heard it the first time.
“call…”
Wang Kui grabbed the water gun and couldn’t help subconsciously exerting his force. After he recovered, he hurriedly continued to press the switch of the walkie-talkie, and shouted excitedly: “All the fire fighting teams are divided into three teams and evacuated quickly! The arrangement has been completed, and when all personnel are evacuated from the fire line, the fire will be fired immediately!”
“what?”
“It seems we can evacuate!”
“Has the anti-burn line been laid out?”
“We are going to succeed!”
“Home is kept!”
…
Lao Kui’s words, like “a single spark,” instantly scorched everyone’s hearts. The firefighters of the vanguard started talking in a low voice, and then they became unscrupulously shouting:
“Finally I can go home! Ah!!!”
“Everyone retreat!”
As soon as Dunn waved his hand, the vanguard immediately became a third team and evacuated in batches.
Jiang Chen kicked the accelerator and drove the car to Wang Kui’s side, and the men with the Great Wolfdog team quickly turned south.
A distance of three kilometers.
In five minutes, the team rushed out.
Looking at the reclaimed ditch, the piled haystacks, dead branches, and the volunteers surrounding the ditch, Wang Kui nodded his head in satisfaction: “Yes! That’s it!”
ten minutes.
All firefighters were evacuated along the passage, and at this time, the super wildfire behind him had burned within less than 300 meters!
“Are everyone evacuated?”
At this moment, Wang Kui was standing on the edge of the fire line, looking at the mountain fire on the opposite bank, and making his final confirmation.
“Report to the commanding officer, all the members of Volgut Fire Point have been safely evacuated!”
“Report to the commander, Morrie fires everyone…”
…
After listening to the reports from the major fire chiefs, Wang Kui excitedly pressed the pronunciation button again and shouted: “Ignite!”
Shattering!
At the next moment, many volunteers threw the Molotov cocktail in their hands onto the burning object opposite the fire belt.
Because chemical fuels and burning oil had been poured on it, it burned very vigorously in an instant when it encountered an open flame. It was at least three or four meters high, forming a wall of fire.
Affected by the wind direction, the flames sprayed to the south at first, but because there was a fire belt more than three meters wide, even when the flames hit the ground, there was no excess burning material to burn.
After more than ten seconds, the fire wall began to turn in the opposite direction and burned towards the forest with burning materials.
Under 5% humidity, coupled with the combustion of eucalyptus oil, the flame spreads inward rapidly. Under the aerial photography of the drone, it is like a huge circle of fire, gathering inward continuously, and the most The burned area on the edge turned into a scorched forest.
In the center of the circle of fire, the super wild fire, glowing red like a pie, is constantly outward.
One minute.
five minutes.
Eight minutes.
The ring of fire finally collided with the super wildfire. Two different hot winds collided, causing a swirling and deflagration. The skyrocketing flames burst out at least 30 to 40 meters in height.
But even so, the burning coke forest in the periphery has long been extinguished, and the fire cannot continue to spread outward.
In other words.
The anti-burn plan is to fight fire with fire.
It’s a success!
one second.
Two seconds.
“what!!”
After a full three seconds of silence, everyone burst out in unison with a loud roar, as if to vent all the exhaustion of the night at this moment!
[Successful! Lao Kui made it! 】
[Trenching! The moment of the anti-burn collision was spectacular! 】
[Great! The Australian government hasn’t given Lao Kui a hero medal? 】
[Small! The pattern is smaller! At least give it to an honorary deputy director of the fire department, right? 】
[Lao Kui, is this rewriting history? 】
[What TM is called a turnaround! 】
[This matter is estimated to be in the Australian history book, right? 】
[Don’t talk about Australia, can control such a large area of fire, there are not many in the world? 】
…
The water friends in the live broadcast room saw this scene, and they were even more excited than Lao Kui himself.
Especially those who stayed up all night, suddenly felt that the night was worth it!
Because they witnessed the miracle with their own eyes!
To know.
Internationally, according to the area of the affected forest, 1-100 hectares are called general fires, 100-1000 hectares are called major forest fires, and 1,000 hectares or more are extremely large forest fires, and more than 10,000 hectares are eligible for qualitative determination. Super fire!
Throughout the ages.
There are only a handful of cases of extinguishing huge forest fires, and the extinguishment of super fires is even rarer and pitiful. It is all about praying for rain or making up sufficient conditions to suppress the fire by artificial rainfall.
Not to mention.
The burning area of this mountain fire, from 20,000 hectares at the beginning, to now, has already exceeded 40,000 hectares!
And Wang Kui.
Did not borrow the right time and place.
Just rely on manpower!
It’s still a bit of manpower!
Put out an epic super wildfire!
“This kid… finally held it up at the last minute…”
In the governor’s office, the governor who watched the live news, held the pen in his hand tightly and tightly.
The Director of the Fire Department breathed a sigh of relief. He finally made the right bet. This time the fire extinguishing was successful, not only could he keep his position, but he would go further!
The commander of the military operation stared at Wang Kui on the screen, his eyes flickering.
This kid has such a great ability to deal with crisis, I wonder if he can join the Australian Military Region, even if it is worth paying for some welfare!
Ding! Ding! Ding…
same time.
Morrie, Lightning Ridge, Walgert.
People in three cities suddenly heard vibrations or various ringtones from their mobile phones.
Everyone took a look:
“The New South Wales Fire Service issued: The current red emergency warning is temporarily lifted, and the people’s evacuation will stop immediately. People are requested to stay at home consciously and take good protection…”
“Great! Baby, we don’t have to go!”
“Dad, don’t you go to grandpa’s house?”
“Don’t go! Don’t go! Go, let’s go home!”
“I want to eat cheesecake!”
…
After reading the news, all the people changed their previous frustration. Some people were happily carrying their luggage home. Some people made a choked phone call. They seemed to be reporting peace to their parents and friends. Some people cried with joy on the spot. Stop praying.
Fire scene.
Firefighters are still around the edge of the fire line, alert for accidents.
But at least you don’t need to concentrate, being so tired with a water gun.
“The meal is coming! Hurry up! Replenish energy first!”
At this time, the town’s supply truck drove over and opened the trunk. It was full of freshly prepared, hot food, which is much better than an energy bar!
Dongfang Miao quickly ran over and helped Wang Kui take a portion, “No! Do you want French fries or beef patties!”
“Anything!”
Wang Kui sat on the ground, leaning on the tires of the fire truck, but his mind was always on the fire scene.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something falling on his shoulder.
Turned his head and took a look.
It’s Xiaobai.
It’s ridiculous to say that Wang Kui was put on guard for the whole night. This guy’s white feathers were almost black and dirty by the thick smoke, but his eyes were still watery and round, but they were also cute.
Smelling the scent of beef, Daxiao leaned to Dongfang Miao’s side in tears, and kept sticking out his tongue to lick her firefighting suit. As a result, he licked his mouth ashes and spit it out again, making the audience haha. Zhile.
“You take it first, and I’ll get them for the big clams. What are you drinking?”
Dongfang Miao put the baguette and beef burger in Wang Kui’s arms, turned his head and asked again.
[Wow, this is great for Lao Kui, right? 】
[Too much knock on this pair of CP! 】
[It feels like Miss Dongfang and Lao Kui are a good match! 】
[I really want to have such a girlfriend who helps me bring meals every day! 】
[Do you want to have a girlfriend? You want someone to bring you food for free! Pooh! 】
…
“Coke!”
Mentioning this, the first reaction in Wang Kui’s mind was iced Coca-Cola filled with bubbles!
“Okay, I’ll go take a look!”
Dongfang Miao ran back to the dining car, UU read www.uukanshu.com and squeezed for a long time. He really got two bottles of Coca-Cola and turned back to the fire truck.
I saw it.
Wang Kui slumped beside the wheel, his eyes closed, and he held the half-broken bread and beef burger in his hand. As for the beef inside, it was in the mouth of Daxiao.
On the smart watch screen on his wrist, the barrage on it swept across:
[Miss Dongfang, Lao Kui is so tired that he can’t bear to fall asleep after giving the food to the big clam! 】
[Lao Kui is asleep! 】
[Don’t worry about Miss Sister, Lao Kui is just too tired! 】
…
Looking at Wang Kui who was sleeping sweetly, Dongfang Miao stroked the tips of his hair and smiled. Instead of waking him up, he put the Coke in his hand beside him side by side, and then he sat down and watched. Glancing at Wang Kui’s profile, he looked up at the sky again.
The orange-red mountain fire, set off against the aluminum metal surface of the two cans of Coke, exudes a warm red light.
