Chapter 591 - 412: A Pile of Fairy Information_2

But before setting off, Squad Leader Hao had proudly exclaimed, "I’ve trained two disciples to enter the competition; I’m completely content!"

"Guizhou Brigade, on the field!"

The hoses strewn across the road were all lifted by the logistics team, and the accumulated water was also swiftly swept away by a dozen logistics members wielding brooms.

Fang Huai eyed Wei Lijie and gave one piece of advice: "Carry water the whole way!"

Wei Lijie nodded, stretching out his arm and giving a thumbs up.

As the driver for two fire trucks, he had also practiced deploying water hundreds of times, dried out how many tanks, added water how many times, the effort was unspoken.

After laying out the hoses, the referee whispered:

"Ready when you are, just give the shout."

Fang Huai looked at everyone, raised his hand, and shouted in Chongqing dialect, "Guizhou Brigade!"

All the team members roared in response: "Emerge mightily!"

Fang Huai, not satisfied, shouted again: "Guizhou Brigade!"

The spectators from Sichuan also started shouting: "Emerge mightily!"

At that shout, many people nearby and afar turned their heads to look.

Fang Huai raised his right hand high, with an unprecedented hysteria, and cried out for the third time:

"Gui! Zhou! Brigade!"

This time, the whole Southwest region, as well as the Hunan General Team’s brothers, felt the call of Number 1 and raised their hands in unison.

"Emerge mightily!!"

Blood boiled with excitement.

People resting around turned to look; even the leaders on the field did too.

Fang Huai’s raised fist extended a thumbs up.

"Good!"

Even the referee was filled with anticipation by the three cheers and the vibrant fighting spirit, and his voice grew louder.

"Set! Take your positions!"

"Ready...Set!"

Everyone leaned in, holding onto the mouth of the hose.

"Bang!"

Several hoses flung out like celestial maidens scattering blossoms, gallantly slinging in different directions, unrolling long and straight.

The vehicles roared suddenly; joining, coupling, seamlessly flowing.

Members from the Sichuan General Team’s third phase training classes started to shout in support.

"Guizhou Brigade!"

Many people echoed the sentiment.

"Keep...going!"

This was the first time today that cheers of encouragement rang out from the vehicle drill ground.

The soldiers on the field did not let the crowd down; carrying the hoses, they dashed forward as Fang Huai bellowed "Go!"

In everyone’s hearts, there was a belief: the first attempt would yield the best results!

"Stretch! Extend the hose!"

Under the bridge, silhouettes moved like a well-coordinated ant colony.

Two hoses joined at one spot; Fang Huai’s tall figure suddenly stood out, gripping the hoses. Timing the moment when the two nozzles sprayed water, with a fierce shout of "Ah," he leaned forward. The two dragon-like hoses and the teammates handling them were yanked forward in a rush!

His reflexes were so swift none of his teammates could keep up; they were dragged forward half a step before they caught the momentum and hurried forward.

Onlookers saw everything clearly.

Damn, this number three is fierce!

The mutterings from Sichuan changed their chant.

"Number 1!"

"Emerge mightily!"

Everyone caught on.

That was Number 1!

Director Chen, watching from a distance, couldn’t help but nod in approval.

"Hmm... a brave champion."

Just as the Guizhou Brigade crossed the narrow bridge with astounding momentum and reached the smokehouse at the base of the tower, Vice Bureau Chief Yu finally smiled in satisfaction and added:

"He’s not only brave but also strategic. In this new trial of two modernized integrated rescue squadrons, he is one of those in charge, a pioneering leader at the grassroots level."

At that moment, two leaders who had intended to offer praise fell into silence upon hearing this.

One of them pondered for a bit before saying, "This just shows, reform should also be based on solid training fundamentals."

Vice Bureau Chief Yu nodded with a smile, "That’s essential. However, diversity in training, innovation, and study are equally important. Little Fang has amalgamated them well. In a year, we can evaluate the trial’s effectiveness."

Another leader frowned and said:

"I think this project started too soon. In creating this task force, too many talents from grassroots squadrons were drawn away. Look at these two squadrons now; how much leniency have they been given in staffing?

Creating a force of 60 elite soldiers is a significant drain on a Provincial Group.

What’s more, when I reviewed this plan’s futuristic outlook, I found digital management and intelligent firefighting oversold. Even Western technology hasn’t solved those problems; can we?"

No sooner had these words been spoken than the team had reached the second floor of the training tower and began deploying water, followed by a burst of frenzied cheers.

"Guizhou Brigade! Record broken! 1 minute 18.12 seconds!"

"Hmm..."

The whole place was astounded.

Then, from out of nowhere, a loud cheer in a Hunan accent erupted: "Number 1! Awesome!"

"Number 1!"

"Number 1!"

The chanting spread throughout the field, gradually bolstering Vice Bureau Chief Yu’s vigor.

He turned and remarked with a smile, "Old Li, you only see one aspect but not the other. This plan was initiated based on ideas from the Instruction Team. It’s a cycle of nurturing talent, confined within the General Team level.

I think talents won’t be wasted—they go in now, and more will come out later.

As for whether the resources go to waste, let’s wait and see. The dispatch data will tell the story.

This young man vows to forge a sword for disaster response and even quoted Mr. Qian Xuesen, which struck a chord with me.

Having a sword you don’t use is fundamentally different from not having a sword at all.

We should have the deepest understanding of this point from the disaster in May.

Regarding those technological prospects, I asked him, and he said they’re meant to leave room for future development and new trials. Moreover, he explained to me two principles, Moore’s Law and Gilder’s Law; I looked them up and found them to be very reasonable. Life is a mountainous journey, right? It’s a vision and a possibility."
