Chapter 722 Medical Support

February 22nd.

Lewiston City, Yellowstone Volcano Prevention and Control Command Center.

After more than a month of pursuit and interception, the expeditionary force successively established 8 frontline bases and 17 logistics bases with the core area of ​​the Yellowstone volcano as the center and the surrounding edge areas with a radius of about 500 kilometers.

At this time, hundreds of staff, geologists, climatologists and the like are hard at work in the prevention and control command center.

Suddenly a burst of sirens woke everyone up.

"Report, a super strong earthquake occurred about 33 kilometers southwest from the center of the Yellowstone volcano, with a magnitude of 8.43 on the Richter scale..."

"It is reported that a large fracture occurred in a rock formation at a depth of about 3773 to 4602 meters underground in this area. It is expected that this area with an area of ​​about 24 square kilometers will sink directly into the underground magma lake of the Yellowstone Volcano..."

"Report……"

The person in charge, Lin Xiangyang, was shocked and immediately roared loudly: "All bases have entered a red alert state and are ready to launch sedimentation agent rockets at the target area!"

"yes."

Eight front-line bases immediately took action. The launch vehicles on the launch site and a large number of rockets were erected, locking the core area of ​​the Yellowstone volcano.

The magma erupted by the volcano has little impact on various parts of the world. It mainly destroys the surface around the Yellowstone volcano.

The actual impact of released toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide on the atmosphere also tends to strengthen the greenhouse effect.

Only the impact of volcanic ash tends to directly damage the respiratory tract and indirectly exacerbate global cooling.

Therefore, the federal government mainly targets the volcanic ash from Yellowstone Volcano. As long as the volcanic ash is suppressed, the impact of the volcanic eruption will be small, and it will even further enhance the atmosphere's ability to retain warmth.

Sure enough, the 24 square kilometers of strata completely collapsed during the earthquake and then sank into the underground magma lake of the Yellowstone volcano, which further intensified the volcanic movement around the Yellowstone volcano.

Less than forty minutes after the super earthquake, the Yellowstone volcano erupted again.

"Report, a huge amount of volcanic ash has been detected and rushed into the stratosphere. It is initially estimated to be 3.5 to 4 million tons per hour..."

"The meteorological department, please report the wind direction and strength immediately."

"The troposphere is dominated by northeasterly winds, with wind force levels 7 to 9; the stratosphere is dominated by westerly circulation..."

Lin Xiangyang ordered: "Launch the sedimentation agent rockets immediately, and the volcanic ash must not be allowed to break through the isolation zone."

"clear."

From the eight frontline bases, a large number of rockets rose into the sky and flew towards the eruption center of the Yellowstone volcano.

at the same time.

Missouri River Basin, Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota.

The 3rd Airborne Division of the Expeditionary Force had just landed here two days ago. At this time, the city of Bismarck was in chaos. Even if the Expeditionary Force and the American Army jointly managed it, there were still many people who were unwilling to cooperate.

Due to terrain problems and atmospheric movements, the volcanic ash and magma tide erupted by the Yellowstone volcano usually move northeastward.

At this time, the Missouri River Basin was northeast of the Yellowstone volcano. The magma poured down from the Rocky Mountains and entered a flat plain, flowing almost unimpeded.

75% of Montana is covered in magma.

A part of the magma tide spread rapidly to the northeast along the valley of the Missouri River. Even if most of the Missouri River was frozen, it could not stop the intrusion of the magma tide.

The Third Airborne Division and a group of American troops were reorganized into the Fifth Group, which was based in Bismarck and was responsible for integrating the Missouri River Basin.

Now they will face the threat of magma surges.

Within the city.

The cleaners who were temporarily recruited were cleaning the streets and alleys with manpower. Suddenly they saw many soldiers driving armored vehicles and large trucks heading west.

This is a city full of refugees. The first stop for those fleeing from Montana is Bismarck.

Due to the obstruction of black snow, the refugees had to stop here.

In order to prevent the refugees from causing trouble, the temporarily established civil management center quickly adopted a work-for-relief method and recruited most of the young adults among the refugees.

There are hundreds of thousands of patients in the emergency medical area. These people have inhaled toxic gases and volcanic ash, causing varying degrees of respiratory damage.

Ahem...

The sound of violent or slight coughing was like a symphony of death, whining one after another in the ward.

Jones, who had just become a nurse, watched each patient fall in pain, but he no longer had the fear when he faced death for the first time. Maybe he was used to it, maybe he was numb.

Elena, the head nurse, shook her head and walked out of the ward after seeing a patient. She marked patient number BSM15397 with a small cross on the critical illness list.

Jones understood that this meant that he was critically ill. Suddenly, a little girl came over from not far away and said to her with some fear:

"Sister, how is my mother?"

"..." Jones opened his mouth several times under the mask, but still didn't know how to tell this cruel truth.

Suddenly the head nurse was about to answer when a sound came from her walkie-talkie.

[All head nurses, meet in office building No. 15 in 20 minutes...repeat...]

Upon hearing this order, the head nurse turned around and ordered: "Jones, you check the remaining rooms first, and I'll go gather them first."

"no problem."

After Jones finished speaking, he touched the little girl's hair again, smiled and comforted: "Everything will be fine."

Office Building No. 15.

Elena, the head nurse who came on a bicycle, felt a little nervous when she saw more than two hundred other head nurses gathered here.

I found a few old acquaintances and asked in a low voice: "Missy, what happened?"

"Good news, the Federation transported a batch of medicine and medical equipment to Bismarck City this morning, and about two hundred medical personnel came to support." Missy explained.

"Only two hundred?" Elena was a little disappointed.

Missy spread her hands: "It's better than nothing. After all, other regions also need it."

At the beginning of the emergency meeting, the person in charge of the medical area did not say anything nonsense. He directly assigned tasks and asked the head nurses to work together to select a group of patients who needed emergency treatment.

In the evening, the volcanic ash from the Yellowstone volcano's eruption was once again suppressed inside the isolation area.

In the medical area of ​​Bismarck City, the medical team that had just been transferred from the mainland officially started working.

In the operating room, head nurse Elena and nurse Jones are cooperating with the supporting doctor Kong Ligu to perform lung cleaning surgery on a patient.

Wearing a special medical exoskeleton equipped with 6 robotic arms, it can completely simulate the work of human hands.

Even though there was no local equipment here, Kong Ligu was still able to open the chest with ease, clean the inhaled volcanic ash from the trachea and alveoli with a specially formulated detergent, and then completed the suturing smoothly.

With artificial blood, new anesthetics, intelligent medical assistance systems, and medical exoskeletons, one surgeon can now replace several people in the past, and even an anesthesiologist is no longer needed.

Elena and Jones, who performed the operation, were dumbfounded. The operation was completed at an astonishing speed. After the anesthesia was completed, the operation was completed in less than twenty minutes.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would all suspect that the other party was taking human life lightly.

Kong Ligu took off his disposable gloves: "Okay, let's make another one before eating!"

"Uh...Okay." Elena nodded hurriedly.
