After bidding farewell to the three.
Gu Ji imdiately led everyone towards the accident explosion site. In the team, besides security personnel and workers, there were also so enthusiastic citizens from Hans City.
Reaching the core point of the explosion.
Even without rushing into the scene, everyone could still feel the scorching heat waves, roasting the sweat on their faces, almost making it impossible to open their eyes.
"Rest assured, everyone, I'm not sending you to your deaths. Except for the security personnel, workers and citizens only need to rescue people at the periphery of the ruins and assist before the arrival of the fire brigade: such as investigating the fire situation, estimating personnel trapped, preparing firefighting equipnt, and clearing the roads for disaster relief."
"The remaining security personnel should report the location of the fire room to , collect firefighting equipnt, and follow into the fire area to rescue people."
Gu Ji had personally commanded the handling of a large-scale health disaster at a cruise ship checkpoint, a disaster scale involving over three thousand people.
Now, with just a hundred or so people, it was simply a breeze for him.
Based on the situation on the ground, he divided everyone into groups according to their risk tolerance levels: fire extinguishing group, rescue group, water supply group, and logistics group.
After collecting the firefighting equipnt.
Gu Ji filled a bucket with water and soaked his officer's uniform.
During World War II, the concept of heat-resistant suits did not yet exist; his only protective gear was this gas mask.
It was laughable to say.
The prototype stage of gas masks is the well-known "bird beak mask."
When the Black Death swept through Europe in the Middle Ages, facing the rampant plague, governnts summoned many "plague doctors" to inspect patients and handle corpses.
One French doctor developed the bird beak mask.
To avoid the terrible sll when handling corpses, they stuffed a lot of aromatic herbs into the pointed bird beak, but it was essentially useless for protection against poison.
The true genesis was found on the battlefields of World War I's gas warfare.
Soldiers discovered regions struck by gas attacks where wild boars, with no protection, could survive safely. Upon observation, they realized that when wild boars encountered gas, they would burrow their noses into the dirt.
From then on, doctors and scientists realized that adding relatively simple charcoal into gas masks could effectively absorb harmful substances thanks to its adsorption properties, which is why gas masks have the "pig nose" design.
By World War II, the material of gas masks had shifted from leather and wood to plastic and rubber, considerably reducing weight, with fillers replaced by activated carbon and specialized dust screens, also equipped with anti-gas reagents.
However, before nuclear weapons were developed, gas masks hadn't yet evolved towards nuclear protection, and the activated carbon filler was limited in its defense against high concentrations of gas, mainly providing respiratory protection, lasting no more than one to two hours.
This was why Gu Ji initially chose to enhance his lung capacity symbol.
In his hand was the Hans M38 gas mask.
The front was a black rubber mask with two yellow lenses, and a military green pig nose filter box hung below the mouth area. The fastening straps were very similar to modern VR glasses, except with two additional side straps.
Gu Ji put on the gas mask, breathing lightly, feeling a slight difficulty in breathing like wearing a mask, while a charcoal scent filled his chest.
But for him, with enhanced lung capacity and oxygen endurance, this was not a problem.
So, he led the charge into the explosion and burning area.
As soon as he entered, his first sensation was heat, as though his entire body had stepped into an oven, with the air around warping and steaming, accompanied by thick smoke obscuring his vision.
"Everyone, listen to my command, spread out in a fan shape, and search in pairs, move!"
