Chapter 193 The impact of the explosion
None of the four people in the car had the idea of meddling in other people's business, and they didn't want to watch the fun.
So after reaching an agreement on his attitude, Ding Ning activates the steering wheel, steps on the accelerator to the bottom, and drives back to Chen Xin's shelter quickly.
Fortunately, the high-speed rail station was not far from Chen Xin's shelter, and soon the four of them returned to Chen Xin's shelter.
After parking the car and getting out of the car, Li Yulong asked Chen Xin with a nervous look on his face: "Brother Chen, what happened? Is that really an explosion?"
"It's hard to say whether it's an explosion, but it's definitely not the sound of a meteorite falling off." Chen Xin's face was also very serious at this time. He thought about it and said to Li Yulong: "Xiaolong, you'd better take your people back quickly. After you go back, remember to close the door of the shelter. Don't open the door if you have nothing to do. Call the police if you have something to do."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Chen!" Li Yulong didn't play with a big temper at this time, so he agreed directly.
After reminding Chen Xin to pay attention to safety, he returned to the city with his subordinates who had been waiting outside Chen Xin's shelter.
Watching Li Yulong leave, Chen Xin also closed the door to the shelter.
As the door of the heavy nickel-chromium alloy steel was locked, Chen Xin felt relieved.
"A Xin, what's going on? Could it be..." Qin Lan asked Chen Xin with a serious look on her face.
As a special police officer, she has already heard that it was an explosion. In response to what happened recently, she naturally had some guesses.
Chen Xin's expression was a little hesitant. He was not sure whether the explosion was caused by the terrorists that Qin Lan speculated, but he still said to Qin Lan: "It may be, so I will close the door for the time being. Before confirming the safety, Alan, you and Xiao Ding should not go out."
"Okay." Qin Lan answered affirmatively about Chen Xin's decision to temporarily close the shelter and not go out, and Ding Ning on the side also nodded.
Although for Qin Lan, she really wanted to bring that group of terrorists to justice and avenge her sacrificed comrades, she was by no means a reckless person.
Qin Lan knew clearly that it was impossible to fight against a group of terrorists by herself alone, and her current mission was to protect Chen Xin. Before completing this mission, she could not leave Chen Xin's side.
What's more, before she figured out what happened, even if she wanted to go out to catch the terrorists, she didn't know where to catch them. The explosion just now was too abrupt and she couldn't tell where the sound came from.
The three of them unified their opinions and returned to the shelter.
At this time, Ding Ning grabbed Chen Xin and asked him: "A Xin, what do you think the explosion just now would be like?"
"It's hard to say that there are too many things that can be blown up." Chen Xin could not make a judgment on what the two explosions just now caused: "It may be a refuge where terrorists attacked the city, or the city government is encircling and suppressing terrorists, or it may be a place where terrorists are attacking some other place... I can't judge what happened just by the two explosions."
"Then I'll contact my dad and ask what happened?" Ding Ning first thought of her father as the special police captain.
Chen Xin shook his head slightly and stopped Ding Ning's move: "Wait first, if something really happens, Uncle Ding is busy now. If you contact him now, you can only cause trouble for him."
Hearing Chen Xin say this, Qin Lan agrees: "Yes, Aning, no matter what caused the explosion just now, even if it is not a terrorist, the team is busy now. If you contact the captain at this time, he doesn't have time to say anything to you, so wait and say it."
Seeing that Qin Lan and Chen Xin said this, Ding Ning also gave up the idea of contacting Uncle Ding immediately, but was still worried about the situation in the city: "I would have known what happened."
"It's not that easy! There's not even a radio in the city now." Chen Xin couldn't help but shook his head.
Logically speaking, after the disaster, although the TV signal was gone for various reasons and the radio should have existed, I don’t know why the city government has not resumed the radio, so that Chen Xin now has no channel to learn about some news.
There was no new news, and even if the three of them discussed, they could not get any results. In the end, they casually talked about their respective opinions and did not talk about this topic again.
At this time, the battle to encircle and suppress terrorists in the city has ended.
Although the terrorists detonated bombs at the gate of the city government shelter, because the city government was prepared for this, the gate of the city government shelter was also heavily guarded. The bombs that should have been taken into the inside of the shelter were blocked outside the door, and the terrorists attacking the city shelter were also jointly suppressed by the special police, armed police and the army who had ambushed in advance.
Although the fighting will shown by these terrorists is quite fierce and fearless, they lack weapons and are blocked at the close gate of the city government shelter, and soon the group of terrorists are eliminated.
The only few remaining living organs were left by the special police to obtain information.
Just as he watched his subordinates clean the battlefield, Uncle Ding and the commander of the armed police force looked ugly, and even the officers from the army next to him had a blue face.
It was originally possible that everyone should be happy to be able to successfully eliminate terrorists in this way. However, after the terrorists detonated the bomb during the previous battle, the second explosion from a distance made everyone understand that the terrorists in front of them were just smoke bombs thrown by the other party, and the other party also attacked other places.
"Have you found out clearly? Where did the explosion happen?" Uncle Ding looked at the political commissar beside him and asked him seriously.
The political commissar nodded with a ugly face and whispered: "It is a railway bridge leading to Hubei Province. The terrorists broke the bridge."
"What?!" Uncle Ding's face changed suddenly. He obviously realized the seriousness of the problem: "Have you reminded the comrades in the railway field before to strictly ensure the safety of the railway? Why did the railway bridge break even after it?"
Upon hearing this news, the armed police commander and the officers of the troops changed their faces and their expressions became nervous.
Uncle Ding and others are not nervous. Most of the materials in this city currently rely on external inputs. The railway is the lifeline of the surviving 200,000 people in this city. Once this lifeline is blocked, more than 200,000 citizens in this city will be seriously affected.
"How is the damage to the railway bridge? Can it be repaired?" Uncle Ding asked the political commissar.
However, the political commissar shook his head: "The specific situation is not clear at present. The railway comrades and Lao Zhang's team have rushed to the scene."
After hearing what the political commissar said, Uncle Ding said nothing, and the armed police commander and the officers of the troops were also silent.
This fact has a great impact.
The subsequent emergency meeting undoubtedly confirmed this point, and the broken railway bridge seriously affected the smooth operation of railways between Hubei Province and the city.
Although the material circulation between Hubei Province and Hunan Province can also be carried by the railway in the direction of Wuling, compared with the city, this undoubtedly requires a big circle, which seriously affects the material transportation between the two provinces.
According to the results of the railway staff's on-site evaluation, if you want to repair the railway bridge, even if it takes 24 hours a day to rotate, it will take at least seven days to repair the railway bridge.
Seven days are not unbearable for the city government. The existing material reserves in various shelters in the city are enough to support two weeks. During this period, as long as the railway bridge is opened, the supply of materials can be restored. Therefore, the city government is not worried about this material.
What really makes everyone involved in the meeting worry is coal.
After the disaster, all the electricity sources in the city came from thermal power generation from thermal power plants, which required a large amount of coal to be consumed every day.
Previously, because the railway was still open, a special coal transportation train would enter the city from Hubei Province every three days, sending the necessary coal to the city. Therefore, although the coal consumption is not small, the city government can still have a surplus and reserve about five days of coal-fired.
This is just in case, it can be used for emergency response.
But it is obvious that even if you save money, this batch of coal cannot last for seven days.
"Can the province support some coal burning?" The city government officials looked at the officials from the provincial government. At this time, they could only ask the province for help first.
"Yes, but the allocation takes some time, and the comrades in the city may need to overcome the difficulties first." Of course, there is no support at this time, but it takes time to transport materials from other places.
The leaders of the city government were satisfied with this result, so several main leaders made a decision after discussion.
"Comrades in the railway field must open the railway as quickly as possible. If there are any difficulties, the city will give you the greatest support. They need supplies and people, but they must open the railway within six days... no, five and a half days!" The mayor did not care whether his order was inhumane or whether the railway field could complete it, so he directly issued a dead order.
The railway leaders naturally understood why the mayor ordered this, so they answered very seriously: "Please ensure that the task is completed!"
At this time, there is obviously no need to talk about official articles, but to take practical actions. So after making a guarantee, the railway official left the conference room and arranged for personnel to start repairing the railway bridge.
However, although the railways ensure that the railway bridge can be built within five and a half days, the city government still needs to make the worst plans.
"From now on, all departments must do their best to ensure that the restoration of the railway bridge can be completed as scheduled! At the same time, from now on, in addition to necessary electricity, each shelter will begin to take power limit measures to reduce the power generation of power plants and ensure that during this period, the heating coal for each shelter and the basic power generation coal for power plants will be carried out." The mayor made the final decision.
