Chapter 189 Preparation
"Container?" A group of people looked at each other.
“Can that thing hold water?” someone asked.
“I can definitely install it, but it seems like it will leak?” Someone picked up the phone and started searching.
Containers are usually used for shipping. There are two models. If the internal volume is converted into theoretical water storage capacity, the small size can hold twenty or thirty tons, and the large size can hold fifty or sixty tons.
But this is only theoretical data.
"It doesn't matter if there is a slight leak over there. Can we find the container here?" Cen Fangyuan frowned and couldn't let go.
He should be well aware of it before returning Song Ren's call. If the other party said that the container was available, he should be able to deploy it immediately.
You must know that they are now inland, and shipping containers are usually found in coastal ports.
“Yes!” Someone found the information, “There is a container manufacturer in the city. There should be one.”
"Contact!" Cen Fangyuan ordered. "Ask them if they have any shipping containers."
At this time, the container manufacturer had already gone off work. After several twists and turns, the assistant finally contacted the boss.
"Leader, the boss said that they have now switched to residential containers, and shipping containers have not been produced for a long time."
"Is there no inventory? Not even one?" Cen Fangyuan asked.
The assistant asked the boss again and got a reply. "Yes, there are, but they are displays from many years ago. They were left on the pier and exposed to the sun, wind, rain, and weather. They are already old."
"At the dock?" Cen Fangyuan's eyes lit up.
“Yes, this company originally produced containers. For the convenience of shipping, it was built on the riverside with its own dock. The boss said that there were two samples, one large and one small, which were originally used as advertising displays. On the dock, it hasn't been moved." The assistant found out just now.
Cen Fangyuan asked his assistant to ask if it could be requisitioned. After getting a positive answer, he asked for the address and quickly dialed Song Ren's phone number.
"Captain Song, the largest container we can find now is a shipping container. But that one is not tightly sealed and will leak. Can it be used?"
"It can be used." Song Ren nodded. , don’t be afraid of water leakage, just make the stars fly faster. "Is it big enough?"
"It's big enough. One can hold about 26 tons, and the other can hold about 55 tons. The two sizes are different, but they are a bit old. And they are still on the dock." Cen Fangyuan was relieved when the other party said it could be used, "We Then send someone to find a car to transport it.”
< br>"No need." Song Ren quickly stopped, "It's okay to get water at the dock. But you need to send people to clear the place. When we go to pick up the boxes, we can't let ordinary people see it."
"Okay. , Okay, I understand." Cen Fangyuan said.
Song Ren thought for a while and then warned, "If it's convenient, your staff over there should fix one end of the container and open the door on the other side. The fixed end should be as airtight as possible. There shouldn’t be any fixing screws to make sure the container won’t be torn when we pick it up.”
“Okay, got it.” Cen Fangyuan listened and took note, “I’ll send you the container address, right?” Okay, I’ve already sent it.”
"Copy that, how long will it take for people in the fire scene to evacuate?" Seeing Ji Yu's ok gesture, Song Ren came to his notebook and looked at the map.
"It will take about half an hour for everyone to evacuate the fire scene." Cen Fangyuan replied.
"Okay, forty minutes before arriving at the coordinates of the parking lot you gave me, I will give you a phone call. At that time, please evacuate all people inside the fire scene." After Song Ren finished speaking, he hung up the phone , and then turned off the lights in the car.
With more than an hour left, they can still take a short break.
Lin Fan had been lying on the bed silently for a long time, and he didn't know whether he fell asleep or not.
Gao Fei and Ji Yu lay side by side on the double bed made of tables and chairs, closing their eyes and relaxing. Li Chunhua was on the bed above the driver's seat, probably asleep too.
Song Ren originally thought of squinting on the big bed at the end of the bed, but thinking that he would answer the phone at any time, and not wanting to disturb Lin Fan, he simply put down the passenger's chair and rested like that.
The carriage suddenly became quiet. The driver was the only one awake and driving intently. Forty minutes before the destination, the driver woke up Song Ren.
Song Ren called Cen Fangyuan again. Everyone at the scene of the fire was ordered to evacuate.
"Why is this?" Many people don't know why.
Obviously the fire has been suppressed. If we evacuate now, wouldn’t all our previous efforts be wasted?
The instructors of each fire brigade were given a little information, but they could not tell it. They just forcefully ordered their team members to evacuate.
Although most firefighters were puzzled, they chose to obey.
But there are always one or two stubborn ones, no matter what you say, it’s useless.
"If we evacuate now, wouldn't we give up on fighting the fire?" This person was actually concerned about the fire.
From the perspective of ordinary people, evacuation is indeed equivalent to giving up.
"Superiors have their own considerations. You must obey orders!" The instructor usually admired his persistence, but now he had a splitting headache.
"I will never evacuate unless you tell me a reason." Those who become firefighters have more or less heroic ideas. So does this guy.
When he was surrounded by such a fierce fire, he was both tired and excited. His whole person maintained a strange excitement, and he wanted to defeat the fire and defend the country.
The instructor had no reasonable excuse, and he was so overwhelmed that he refused to obey.
What can we do? You can’t just ignore it! The instructor can only equip the equipment himself and go up to arrest people.
At this time, Lin Fan was listening to Song Ren assigning tasks in the car and couldn't stop eating.
"Xingchen is fast and is responsible for the fire break zone downwind." Song Ren clicked on two locations on the map with a pen and pointed to the downward arc.
"You will take us there when the time comes. Gao Fei and I will share one point, and Li Chunhua and Ji Yu will share the same point. The coordinates have been sent to your eyepiece. When the time comes, we will dig upwind. As for you, just follow The fire line dug out the remaining piece."
Everyone knows that Xingchen is strong and fast, but now he is no longer a gentleman.
“Remember, dig at least 50 meters wide and eradicate all flammable turf and vegetation on the surface.” Song Ren warned, “If nothing else happens, Lin Fan should be able to complete it soon. Arrive. There is no need to support us, you go here.”
At Song Ren’s signal, Ji Yu showed Lin Fan the location on the map and sent the third coordinate to her eyepiece.
"There are two containers here. You use them as containers and draw water from the river to put out the fire." Song Ren looked at Lin Fan, "The containers should be leaking. You will see when the leakage is greater. , then you don’t have to take both.”
Lin Fan nodded and continued eating.
She didn't know how long this operation would last. She needed to replenish her strength and hoped that the standby time would last until all the fires were put out.
“According to your speed, there should be a lot of round trips. Even if the fire cannot be completely extinguished, most of it should be extinguished by then. If you pour water from downwind to upwind, it will be less likely to re-ignite after the ground is soaked. If we go to the isolation zone we dug, the fire will definitely be put out by tomorrow."
"It's past midnight now," Ji Yu corrected.
"Got it." Lin Fan nodded.
Song Ren warned the other three people. Compared to Lin Fan, their task was just to dig a fire break, which seemed easier to say, but because the fire line was long, it was not easy even with the help of mechas.
Therefore, Lin Fan had to clear out the downwind section at the beginning, which was the most prone to overshooting. Otherwise, with the speed of their bionic armor, it would be too late.
This is why Mingxing Chen didn’t have enough time, so she had to arrange for her to dig a fire break first.
Soon, the car entered the fire area.
