At two o'clock in the morning on May 12, 2008, Su Feng was restless in his room at the New York Hilton Hotel.
It is already 14:00 in the afternoon in China, and in less than half an hour, the disaster with huge impact will occur.
Athletes cannot smoke, and Su Feng has no habit of drinking.
But at this moment, feeling restless, Su Feng took out a bottle of red wine from the hotel room for the first time, poured it out and drank a large glass.
Looking at the watch, Su Feng's body tensed up after the time reached 14:28, and every moment at this time became as long as a year.
At this time, a sudden earthquake in Wenchuan broke people's peaceful life.
Countless houses collapsed, and many people came outside but found nowhere to hide.
Some people were driving their cars on the street, and suddenly the building next to them collapsed, hitting them and their cars directly.
It wasn't until two minutes later that the violent shaking disappeared.
After that, it’s time for emergency rescue to begin across the country.
The first to receive the order were the People's Liberation Army troops, and each unit carried search and rescue supplies and headed to the disaster area in an organized manner.
Because roads were blocked and information was isolated, dozens of paratroopers even parachuted in harsh foggy conditions in order to understand the disaster immediately.
Thanks to the strong action of the entire country, this earthquake, which was the most destructive, affected the widest range, and caused the most severe losses since the founding of the People's Republic of China, was launched as quickly as possible.
The next morning, at around five o'clock in the morning, there was a rapid knock on Su Feng's door.
Su Feng didn't sleep at all. He straightened up and sat up from the bed. He quickly came to the door and opened it.
"Su Feng, did you know? There was an earthquake in China, a magnitude 8 earthquake." He Jun said to Su Feng anxiously.
Soon, not only He Jun, but also everyone from Team Su walked out of the room, and everyone gathered together to talk about the news they had received.
There are no Sichuan people here, but there are still some from nearby provinces. Their families also called to tell them about the earthquake and asked them if they were okay.
"My family is from Shandong, and the light bulbs are shaking there. I wonder what Sichuan will be like?"
"Have the rescue started yet? Do you want to donate? Coach He, I have saved some money and I will donate it."
The messages began to be compiled one by one. He Jun also calmed down at this time and called his comrades who were still serving in the country. They should be able to receive the most accurate situation.
"Okay, everyone, don't mess up. The country has launched rescue operations. At this time, we must trust the country even more. Let's go back to our houses first and report to our relatives and friends that we are safe." He Jun is still a very capable leader. There are so many people.
It's useless to pile them up in the corridor, so it's better to call relatives and friends quickly.
After everyone returned to the room, He Jun pulled Su Feng into the room.
"I have inquired clearly. The center of this earthquake is temporarily designated as Wenchuan County in Sichuan. Aren't your Hope Primary Schools right there? I remember that it was said that it could prevent an eight-magnitude earthquake, so there would be no problem.
My comrades said that there are constant aftershocks there, and even if many houses have not collapsed, no one dares to live in them.
Moreover, the incident happened at 2:30 noon, which happened to be the time for children to go to class. If we could really prevent an eight-magnitude earthquake, we would have saved too many people."
Su Feng nodded. He Jun didn't know about this aspect. He had been looking for someone to keep an eye on it. He had found someone to look at every Hope Primary School. His own construction company was the one who designed the best earthquake-resistant school in Wenchuan. He was definitely the one who designed it.
Trustworthy.
"Okay, that's good." Faced with such a catastrophe, He Jun also became a little incoherent. After confirming the quality of the elementary school, he returned to his room in a daze.
At this time, Su Feng's phone also rang. It was a call from his parents in China.
Then there is the British short form.
Then there were phone calls from various friends.
…
During the day and that whole day, Su Feng was not in the mood to train. He Jun and everyone in Su's team were also absent-minded, so no one cared about him.
Everyone is using various channels to collect news about the disaster.
It was still the same the next day.
On the second day, everyone slowly returned to normal.
In any case, things have happened, and the General Administration has also made donations. Although they are not in the country, everyone has also found a way to donate the money.
On May 16, Su Feng received a call from Jiang Yihan and learned about the specific situation of those Hope Primary Schools.
One hundred Hope Primary Schools were located in the epicenter of the earthquake, but none of them collapsed.
What's even more rare is that when the surrounding buildings are not safe, even though the troops have opened the lifeline and searched for a long time, they can't find a suitable gathering place.
Especially when there are aftershocks.
At this time, the role of these hope primary schools becomes prominent.
After testing by the troops and obtaining detailed construction information from the Sichuan Provincial Construction Bureau, the rescue headquarters determined that there should be no problems with the 100 Hope Primary Schools.
The quality is excellent, and it is built to the same standards, with the same team from design to construction.
Therefore, these schools were immediately selected as places to accommodate the seriously injured among the victims.
Medical teams arriving from all over the country settled in various schools, converted many classrooms into temporary surgical wards, and began operations directly.
The remaining classrooms and playgrounds have become gathering points for relief supplies and headquarters.
It's not that we don't want to use these places to resettle victims, it's just that there's not enough space.
It was impossible for the general headquarters to provide specific guidance to all places at the same time, so dozens of lower-level command units were established, and these schools became a stable command rear area.
The hoarding of supplies, the mobilization of personnel, and every order are issued from here.
"That's good, I understand, Sister Jiang."
Su Feng hung up the phone and realized that his schools had finally played their due role.
This was the limit of what Su Feng could do without saying that he knew an earthquake was going to happen.
After all, his funds are limited, and it is impossible to modify all the houses in Wenchuan to withstand an eight-magnitude earthquake. Even the country cannot do this.
However, based on his understanding of the Wenchuan earthquake in his previous life, he still did the best he could within his limits.
In the previous Wenchuan earthquake, after the People's Liberation Army took huge risks such as aftershocks and landslides to open up life channels, the biggest problem they encountered was not supplies. Although they were also lacking, they were not the most important.
Chief among them is the lack of a safe location.
One is to perform surgery. The walls of local hospitals are cracked and it is impossible to perform surgery safely.
Second, there is no place to even place the decentralized command center. The command center is not the responsibility of one person, but a group of dozens of people.
It requires various computers and communication equipment, as well as its own independent power generation equipment.
All of these require a stable place.
Especially after an earthquake, due to the strong extrusion, collision, or separation of the earth's crust, a large amount of heat will be generated, evaporation will be strengthened, the air flow will rise, and the convection movement will increase significantly. In addition, the minute hand will increase the amount of magazines in the air. These factors add up. , will form one of the most important secondary disasters after the earthquake, besides aftershocks, heavy rain.
The initial heavy rain had a huge impact on the rescue operations. Some command centers even moved multiple times. The damaged computer equipment did not matter, but the impact on the disaster relief was very large.
Without a stable rear, how is it possible to provide disaster relief?
This is also the question that ranks first when summarizing afterwards.
Under limited conditions, Su Feng built these primary schools to earthquake-resistant levels. First, they could save a large number of poor children, and secondly, they could be used as temporary surgical wards, command centers, and material distribution centers.
And now these places have indeed been requisitioned and are playing their due role. They are like strong fortresses, protecting tens of thousands of students and ensuring that disaster relief work can be carried out in an orderly manner.
"That's good." After hanging up the phone, Su Feng looked at the phone and said.
