Chapter 325: Search job

Team Leader Hou didn't give up and asked the pilot to use the onboard communication system to call Shen Lan's mobile phone. The result was still the same as before.

The trapped person could not be found, and the weather became bad. A simple rescue operation turned out to be like this, which made Team Leader Hou's face a little blue.

He is actually pretty good. He is a little bit overwhelmed. He likes to let the media report on everything. It's okay when things go smoothly, but if something happens, like what he is now, then it's not good.

These light rains have not been able to cause much impact on the helicopter flight, but according to the forecast of the weather station, it will soon turn into a thunderstorm, and the helicopter will definitely not be able to fly in a thunderstorm.

"The Eagle's Mouth Mountain is below, but the Eagle's Mouth Mountain has a radius of several kilometers, and it is not easy to find the location of the trapped."

At this time, the pilot said loudly, and immediately the lifeguard in the cabin opened the door of the helicopter and searched down from high in the sky.

There is no way to contact the trapped, so you have to search with the naked eye, which is better than nothing.

Everyone's gazes immediately followed, but only a faint raindrop floating in the air, covering the landscape of the Lijiang River under the helicopter, which had a special sense of beauty.

It's just that no one is in the mood to appreciate this kind of beauty. This kind of scenery is beautiful, but it is simply fatal to the current situation.

"I can't see anything at all... can it be lower?"

The lifeguard on the plane waved helplessly and said to the pilot.

"There is no way to go lower, it will be dangerous if it is lower!"

The pilot responded helplessly.

"Why can't it be lower?"

Zhang Zimeng asked curiously, isn't it the lower the better at this time, the better the search, why can't the pilot descend too low?

The pilot was a little helpless, shook his head and said, "Leader, there is a high-voltage line across the mountain. At this altitude, if you run into a high-voltage line, the people in this aircraft will be in danger!"

The high-voltage line across the mountain is too thin. The pilot flying at this altitude is like dancing on the tip of a knife. When the line is clearly visible, I am afraid it will be difficult to reflect it.

Especially now that the visibility is still low, there is less reaction time left for the pilot.

"But... with the terrain here, if it turns into a thunderstorm, I'm afraid there will be flash floods, right?"

Zhang Zimeng hesitated and said.

"Yes, that's right, the meteorological department said the same. According to the forecast rainfall, there is a high probability of flash floods."

The pilot sighed and said.

I know that the Eagle’s mouth is down there, and the trapped people are in the Eagle’s mouth, but because the visibility is too low and the bad weather affects the communication signal, at this time I can’t find the trapped people at all. This is a feeling. It's too powerless.

The mountains here in Yangshuo County are all stone mountains, with poor water storage capacity, and flash floods can easily occur when it rains.

If the flash flood broke out, let alone the donkey hanging on the cliff, even Shen Lan on the ground would also be in danger.

"Life is a matter of life, we can't give up lightly, we still have two hours...let's do our best."

Group Leader Hou looked a little ugly, and ordered to go down.

He looked down on the plane, but saw a vast expanse of whiteness below, barely able to see the mountains and forests below, but it was simply too difficult to find someone in this situation.

"But... the leader, you can't even see that you can't search."

The command of Team Leader Hou made the lifeguards face even more helpless. As lifeguards, they have received professional training such as cable descent, and their eyesight must also be above 5.2, but now they can’t see the ground with their eyesight. How can search and rescue be conducted?

"Is there no other way?"

Group Leader Hou was a little anxious and asked quickly.

The lifeguard shook his head and said helplessly: "Unless it is a military helicopter with an infrared thermal detector on it, it can search for people on the ground through the infrared thermal detector, but our helicopter does not have this equipment."

Infrared detectors can detect the heat emitted by animals on the ground, which is very effective at night and in low visibility conditions.

"If you don't have one to borrow, contact the N City Emergency Center to transfer a piece of this equipment over!"

Group Leader Hou was a little anxious and said.

Because of the sudden changes in the weather, the situation is now rapidly deteriorating, and there is no way to carry out search work.

If the rescue fails and there is no way to rescue people before the flash flood, it is the rescue failure. If there are casualties, it will undoubtedly push the rescue operation to the cusp of the storm.

"It's too late. We only have two hours now. One round is not enough."

The pilot shook his head, and said helplessly: "Team leader, we have already circled, and we haven't seen any abnormalities. It is estimated that the trapped people in the rain will not be able to make a fire to make a signal."

When they spoke, they had already circled the Eagle's Mouth several times, but they didn't see anyone at all.

As time goes by, the rain outside is getting heavier, which makes the search even more difficult.

"No way... Team leader, do you want to return?"

The helicopter pilot was a little anxious, said.

There is a central leader like Team Leader Hou on the plane. In the event of a plane crash, he simply cannot bear this responsibility.

From his point of view, those trapped travel companions are far less important than the safety of Team Leader Hou.

"and many more!"

While everyone was extremely anxious, Nie Cai pointed out the porthole of the helicopter and said, "I saw something in front of me. I should be able to find someone if I fly over there."

Nie Cai's eyesight was keen. Through the faint rain and mist, he suddenly saw a person on the ground waving something. It should be Shen Lan.

It's just that his vision is too amazing, and it's not something normal people can have. At this time, he can't say it straight, he can only make an excuse.

"You mean there?"

The pilot looked in the direction Nie Cai pointed, only to find that the location was completely white, and could not see anything except for a high-voltage line transmission tower on the top of the mountain.

His tone was hesitant, and he said, "There seems to be nothing there, and there seems to be a high-voltage telephone pole across the mountain. It might be dangerous if you approach it rashly."

The pilot shook his head and said, "It's really impossible to find anyone. I can only take a few shots and leave."

If it weren't for Nie Cai's reporter's sake, the pilot would probably be swearing.

He saw several high-voltage pylons in the air just now. When he reached this position, he deliberately raised the height to avoid the dangerous area.

If you find a trapped person, it's worth the risk, but it's white outside, just let the helicopter go there by the feeling?

Didn’t he know that high-tension lines are the biggest threat to helicopters? To drive there in this kind of weather, this is a joke of your own life!

"We are here to rescue, not just to go around two circles and take some news footage!"

Nie Cai was a little anxious, and said, "The trapped personnel must be there. If they don't pass, they will die in the mountain torrent!"

"Comrade reporter, I am responsible for the safety of the plane and the safety of the passengers. There is no way to approach that place. It must be kept at an altitude of more than two hundred meters to be safe."

The pilot hesitated, looked at the leader Hou next to him, and said.

For the sake of a few unrelated fellow travellers, he certainly can't put Group Leader Hou in a dangerous situation.

"You don't need to be responsible, I'll be responsible, right?"

Nie Cai was anxious, almost yelling.

Obviously he knew that the person was there, but the pilot did not dare to approach because he was afraid of danger.

If we don’t hurry to save people now, we won’t have time when the rain gets heavy.

"Okay, stop arguing..."

Team Leader Hou was a little helpless, and said hoarsely: "Reporter Nie, if we can be sure that the person is there, it doesn't matter if we take a risk, but now we are not sure even if we are sure, and we don't know the value of taking this risk.

As the commander of this operation, he certainly hopes to find the trapped people and successfully complete this rescue mission.

But if the helicopter is in danger, the responsibility is even greater, not to mention the risk of descent if you can't find anyone. This is simply not acceptable to him.

"Sure that the person is over there?"

As if thinking of something, Nie Cai's heart suddenly moved.

He simply picked up the camera, stood in front of the helicopter's hatch, locked the position with keen eyesight, and then took a picture with the camera lens.

This time Nie Cai is holding a shoulder-mounted camera in the stage, using a large zoom lens with a long zoom distance. Through the faint rain and fog, one can barely see from the lens that there is a colored cloth strip on the ground waving. Silhouette.

Nie Cai adjusted the footage taken by the camera. This time, with the video as evidence, Nie Cai had a lot of confidence to speak, and said confidently: "There are people on the ground, and the trapped people are there."

"Really, can this be seen by you?"

Looking at the video taken by Nie Cai, Team Leader Hou said in surprise.

Even under the large zoom lens of the camera, the appearance of the tent is vague. If you look at it with the naked eye, you can't see any traces at all.

I don't know how Nie Cai discovered the location of this tent. Is it just a coincidence?

"Okay, let's save people immediately!"

But he was surprised and surprised, and soon ordered to go down and let the pilot descend slowly.

This time the pilot had no choice but to bite the bullet and fly over there, slow down, and land slowly.

As the altitude slowly decreased, the situation on the ground gradually became clear, and there was even a person on the ground waving desperately holding a bright red cloth. Nie Cai’s eyesight was sharp, and he recognized it at a glance. This person is Shen Lan!

At this time, Team Leader Hou could clearly see the figure calling for help on the ground, and could not help but said in surprise: "I see it, quickly land on the ground and rescue the trapped people!"

"No, leader, there is no place to land nearby. At best, we can only hover in the air and use ropes to rescue them."

The helicopter pilot shook his head and said with a wry smile.

In Hollywood blockbusters, helicopters are omnipotent, and stunts such as hovering on one foot are even more powerful. In reality, helicopters are not so good at all.

Generally speaking, when the helicopter is landing, it needs an open space the size of a playground, with no obstacles such as trees around it, and at least it needs a place such as a road.

However, there is no leveling place in this kind of barren mountains and ridges. They can only hover in the air, and the lifeguard will descend with ropes, and then use the elevator to lift the trapped persons. This is also the only feasible method.
