Chapter 111 The real crisis

"Don't create panic. Sergeant Herman has set aside 4 minutes of backup time. Everyone, please follow the team."

Luka stepped forward and scolded him at this time.

Indeed, although the service life of the gas mask is only about half an hour, considering factors such as accidents and chlorine gas deposition and diffusion, Gu Ji still allowed enough escape time in advance.

After everyone rushed out of the factory.

The surrounding western-style buildings were deserted, and messy clothes, shoes, and colliding vehicles could be seen everywhere on the streets. Occasionally, dripping blood could be seen on the ground, as if the end was coming.

After running for four to five hundred meters continuously, the chlorine around me gradually became thinner.

Gu Ji also heard noisy discussions in the distance and the sound of water cannons spraying water.

He used a flashlight to give a light signal in advance.

The moment they broke out of the thick chlorine fog, everyone saw a group of soldiers wearing white coats, black rubber boots, and gas masks surrounding a street at a crossroads not far away.

At this moment, they are leading the firefighters, holding water spray guns in their hands to decontaminate the thick chlorine mist.

It is the Hans Army chemical defense force summoned by Deputy Mayor Otto.

When the chemical defense soldiers saw Gu Ji and others rushing out of the poisonous gas, they were stunned for a moment. It was not until the captain gave the order that they drank the water.

"Rinse and disinfect them immediately!"

Seeing this, Gu Ji first placed Leer gently on the ground.

Then, under the spraying water cannon, the two people took off their gas masks. Without the masks, their vision and breathing were obviously much more comfortable.

It was only then that Eugen and others discovered that due to long-term exposure to high-concentration chlorine, the white sheets that were originally tightly wrapped around them had turned into a light yellow-green, as if they had rolled in a circle on the grass.

"All patients whose skin is exposed to chlorine gas should immediately take off their coat and rinse the affected area for 15 minutes!"

As he spoke, he helped Leer rinse his face and the corners of his eyes.

Among the many patients, Leer was the most seriously injured because the underground gas storage room he went to was the location where the chlorine gas leaked the most. His eyes were red and congested, his skin began to crack, and a layer of pimples similar to hemorrhagic fever appeared on the surface.

, he was coughing uncontrollably in his chest, and his sputum was still stained with blood.

"Ler, open your mouth and be patient. Your symptoms of poisoning are very serious and your stomach must be lavaged immediately."

Gu Ji pinched Leer's mouth open with his hands and asked him to pour in water.

This feeling of being forced to drink a large amount of water continuously is no less than the ancient water torture.

Within three or four seconds, Leer choked and instinctively vomited.

A large amount of yellow-green turbidity flowed to the ground, and he pulled out a large amount of activated carbon powder from the filter tank of the brand new gas mask. "Ler, swallow it, it will help you completely absorb the remaining chlorine in your stomach."

Le'er had already been tortured by pain and suffocation.

But he still relied on his strong will and swallowed the black powder according to Gu Ji's order.

Eugen stood aside, feeling distressed and puzzled when he saw his old commander become like this:

"Why is Chief Leer so desperate? Doesn't he know how to run out quickly?"

"How could an officer who came out of the Army Academy not know the power of chlorine gas? Leer just wants to use his own ability to protect his compatriots in the empire..."

When Luka explained, he couldn't help but think of the two sentences Gu Ji said at the military base this morning.

The duty of a soldier is to protect the country.

Leer had already gradually lost his fighting spirit on the battlefield on the outer islands of Nannan. Perhaps it was because of these words that his desire to fight was rekindled.

"Ogen, help me soak the pills in water."

Gu Ji ignored the exchange between the two and found a small brown bakelite box from the gas mask jar on his waist.

The box contains the auxiliary protective accessories of the gas mask. The army issued anti-gas reagents for skin and weapons to each Hans soldier, which can be used for emergency treatment of skin damage caused by mustard gas, chlorine gas and other poisonous gases.

These purifying tablets need to be soaked in water, mixed into a paste and applied to the affected area. They can only be used on the surface of the skin and cannot be used on the eyes, mouth or genitals.

“You have rich anti-virus experience.”

A short, middle-aged chemical defense soldier suddenly came up behind him, "I am Franz, the chemical defense captain of the chemical outpost in Ludwigshafen. Are you the Sergeant Hermann that the deputy mayor said?"

"Hello, sir, Leer needs emergency treatment now. He already has localized alveolar pulmonary edema, which may cause reflex respiratory center depression at any time."

Although Gu Ji relied on "Bacterial Biochemistry, Radiation Crisis Response" to carry out emergency treatment for Leer, the damage to his lungs caused by the chlorine gas had been very serious. If he hadn't been a soldier and knew some experience in covering his mouth and nose with wet clothes

, I'm afraid he would have died in the basement a long time ago.

Franz hurriedly called for two chemical defense soldiers to carry Leer onto a stretcher.

Then he looked at Gu Ji again.

"What's going on inside now?"

"The leak point is a chlorine gas storage tank stored in the basement of the chlorine production plant. The specific cause of the leak is still unclear. Workers said that the pipeline leakage was caused by the high temperature of the explosion, and the factory safety facilities did not work."

"Leer risked his life and urgently closed the directional wheel valve of the storage tank, but there is still a risk of secondary leakage. Currently, eight or nine workers are trapped in the chlorine production plant."

Gu Ji was reporting the situation in the factory to Franz when he saw Deputy Mayor Otto and several leaders approaching and asked hurriedly:

"Deputy Mayor Otto, have you found Göring?"

"Not yet. He is not at home. The servant said he was out on business. I have sent someone to look for him."

Otto also put on a gas mask.

A group of people talk as if the reverb is turned on.

Franz tilted his chin.

"Sergeant Herman, based on the data you provided and the on-site situation, I estimate that at least more than 30 tons of chlorine gas was leaked. Such a terrifying magnitude would consume a large amount just to move workers and nearby civilians.

It is too difficult to effectively control manpower..."

What he meant in the second half of his sentence was that these chemical defense forces alone were unable to stop the spread of poisonous gas and could only be forced to move civilians out of the city as quickly as possible.

Otto shook his head.

"It is unrealistic to transfer people on a large scale. The train tracks and ports all pass through the northeastern part of the BASF factory, which is within the scope of explosions and poison gas. If the people are transferred by road, the existing urban transportation cannot meet the requirements."

"Deputy Mayor Otto, how is the Defense Air Force support I asked you to call before?"

Compared to everyone's disappointed looks, Gu Ji did not give up.

The defense garrison commander next to Otto said:

"We have contacted the air force base, and they promised to send an additional transport plane to support. It will take about 20 minutes. But as far as I know, the load capacity of a medium-sized transport plane is only three tons. Even if it is all used to load water, it will not be enough.

It’s just the amount of water that a land tanker can hold.”

"Sir, you are right, but the advantage of aircraft carrying water is that it can reach places that land vehicles cannot reach, such as the leak point: the chimney of the chlorine production plant. We can fly the transport plane over the leaking factory to sprinkle water, and three tons of water will drop on it.

If it goes down, it is enough to absorb a large amount of chlorine, hydrogen chloride, and sulfuric acid mixture, delaying gas leakage from the source."

When Gu Ji said this, the commander was suddenly stunned.

Not only him, but Otto, the two inspector generals, Franz, and even Luca all around him changed their colors and were nailed to the spot, as if the ground was about to crack in front of their feet.

He squinted his eyes slightly.

I also knew the reason why these people were shocked. During World War II, the concept of air rescue and fire extinguishing had not yet been proposed.

In fact, he originally envisioned that the most perfect method would be "artificial rainfall."

Using rainwater to continuously wash away chlorine in the air can solve this crisis in the shortest possible time.

Unfortunately, artificial rainfall was invented in 1946, and was soon used by Eagle Country to implement the "Protruding Eye Project", which used artificial rainfall on a large scale in Southeast Asia.

As a meteorological weapon, continuous artificial heavy rain can trigger a large number of flash floods, mudslides and other geological disasters, causing devastating blows to railways, bridges, highways and dams within the range.

That's right.

Any technological invention is always accompanied by war.

The reason why Franz was so shocked was simply because Gu Ji said that this method could be applied on the battlefield to quickly destroy the enemy's poison gas attack.

"God, you are such a genius, I will immediately ask the command to contact the pilots to drop water bombs!!"

The garrison commander was so excited that he rubbed the soles of his shoes.

After he left, Gu Ji continued:

"As long as the chlorine leakage point can be solved, the next step is to prevent the spread. Vice Mayor Otto, you also said that the northeast of BASF's production base is the train track and the port, or in other words, the entire east side of Ludwigshafen and

The north side is surrounded by the Rhine River, and the water is a natural gas blocking wall."

"So we only need to figure out the current wind direction and strengthen defenses downwind. Even if there are fewer people, we can still curb the spread of poisonous gas. The only things that need to be paid attention to are the centralized recovery and treatment of the flushing water and the interception and diversion of the Rhine River.

.”

"I, I will arrange for someone to do it now!"

Otto could no longer use words to describe Gu Ji's talent, so he simply stuttered.

Gu Ji turned around and looked at the poisonous gas ball that "swallowed the sky and devoured the earth".

The most difficult thing now is how to rescue the trapped workers in the factory. As the chlorine concentration is getting higher and higher, even if the gas masks can be replaced, it is not so easy to wear clothes to protect the skin.
