Chapter Two Thousand Nine Hundred and One Blizzard Night
【Corrected version】
After listening to Zhang Xiaolei's report, Wu Hao nodded, then looked at the big screen and asked: "How is the weather in the test site area? When will the snowstorm stop?"
Seeing Wu Hao's inquiry, an expert in charge of meteorology at the scene immediately reported: "Based on the weather forecast issued by the Meteorological Center, and we performed AI weather model calculations based on weather cloud images from multiple weather satellites."
"The severe convective weather affecting the northeastern region of my country is fierce and is expected to last until 11 o'clock at noon tomorrow before gradually subside."
"There is good news. After this snowstorm, the area where the test site is located will have two days of good weather. Two days later, a new wave of snowfall will arrive."
"In other words, the search and rescue time left for us is only two days?" Zhang Jun asked.
In less than two days, Wu Hao shook his head solemnly after hearing this: "If no one is found tomorrow, then the survival of these nine people will be slim. Unless they can find a suitable shelter in the wild, they may be able to survive for a few days."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone at the scene nodded solemnly. Indeed, in such cold weather, if no one can be found tomorrow, then these nine people are probably in misfortune. As for the second half of Wu Hao's sentence,
The words of refuge are all words of comfort. In such an inaccessible forest and snowfield, it is not so easy to find a suitable refuge.
What is the temperature there now? Wu Hao then asked the technical expert.
After hearing this, the expert immediately adjusted his glasses and replied: "The average temperature here in winter is about minus 20 degrees, and the temperature at night will drop to minus 278 degrees. In a snowstorm like this, the temperature in the wild may drop to 20 degrees below zero.
It’s even lower, reaching more than 30 degrees below zero.”
"The lowest recorded temperature in this area is minus 47 degrees, but it is usually not that low. According to the forecast from the Meteorological Observatory, the minimum temperature in the area near the test site tonight may reach about minus 35 degrees."
this......
Hearing this news, everyone's heart sank. What is the concept of minus 35 degrees? Dropping water turns into ice. If you pour a cup of boiling water out, it will be frozen instantly and turn into ice mist.
There are many such videos on the Internet. Many people like to pour a cup of boiling water into the air in such cold areas. After the boiling water comes out, it is instantly frozen and turns into a sheet of ice mist.
Not to mention minus 35 degrees, even the current weather of several degrees above zero in Anxi makes many people unbearable. They stay at home with heating and are unwilling to go out for activities. When encountering zero-degree weather, many people feel cold.
I was about to freeze to death.
The weather was minus 35 degrees Celsius, coupled with the snowstorm, and it was still in the wilderness. The combination of so many unfavorable factors was really enough for these nine people.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive, it would still be enough for them to drink a pot.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Hao said: "Bring me the latest satellite map of this area and select the location of the missing person."
"yes!"
After receiving Wu Hao's order, a satellite map was quickly displayed on the big screen. The location of the test site and the location of the missing persons were clearly marked on the map.
Wu Hao stared at the satellite and glanced down, then said: "Coco, generate a three-dimensional topographic map of this area."
"Okay, sir." Coco's voice came from the lobby PA.
In everyone's surprise, the satellite map on the big screen changed. The map began to flip, and then mountains rose up from the flat map, valleys sunk down, and there were some rivers. And this was
There are also trees growing on the mountains, including larch, birch and some miscellaneous trees and shrubs that are common in the Northeast.
Immediately afterwards, snow was generated, and soon the entire area was covered with snow, making the area suddenly enter a world of ice and snow.
"The three-dimensional map generation is completed."
Wu Hao stretched out his right hand and then controlled it from a distance. The map on the big screen also began to change its angle according to his gestures.
"Judging from the topographic map, the topography of the location where these nine people disappeared is not complicated, and the terrain is not too undulating. It should be said that it is not easy to get lost."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone at the scene nodded.
Zhang Xiaolei said with a wry smile: "Our testers have been to this area many times and are very familiar with it, so no one expected that something would happen and people would lose contact."
Maybe they lost their way due to a snowstorm, which is what we think is most likely at the moment."
Everyone couldn't help but ask: "Then where will they be?"
"Coco, take the missing point as the center and draw concentric circles with a radius of one kilometer to ten kilometers." Wu Hao ordered.
"Okay sir." Following the instruction, circles of red concentric circles with ears appeared on the terrain map. Wu Hao looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "In such a snowstorm, they won't go too far, they should just go
Within this ten-kilometer range, the further inside you go, the higher the possibility."
At this point, Wu Hao turned to Zhang Xiaolei and asked, "When will the local rescue forces arrive?"
"Let's get in touch right away." Zhang Xiaolei said, and people started to get in touch. After a while, after listening to the staff's report, Zhang Xiaolei came over and reported to Wu Hao and the others: "Mr. Wu, Zhang
In general, we just got in touch with the local emergency command center. After receiving our alarm, they immediately activated the emergency plan and dispatched public security, fire, W police and other rescue forces, and dispatched multiple snow clearing trucks.
Head towards the test site area."
"However, the distance is long, and the roads are difficult to walk in the snowstorm. The entire rescue team is still on the way. It is expected to arrive at the test site area around five o'clock in the morning. However, after we communicated with the emergency command center, they also said that the current situation
The snowstorm has not stopped, the mountainous terrain is complex, and visibility is low at night, so even if rescue forces arrive, search and rescue operations may have to wait until daytime."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this, then looked at Zhang Jun and Zhang Xiaolei and said: "We cannot rely on local rescue forces for search and rescue, we must also take action ourselves. While paying attention to our own safety, we should send out as many manpower and equipment as possible,
Participate in the rescue. If you find them earlier, they will have more hope of survival."
"Yes, our search and rescue work has never stopped. Currently, several search and rescue teams are still conducting search and rescue operations in the wild. In addition, we are also trying to use radio to call them, hoping to get in touch with them. In addition, we are also closely
Pay attention to the weather conditions. Once the wind speed decreases, our drone can take off and search and cover the entire area to try to find them earlier." Zhang Xiaolei replied.
