Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 323 - 159: National Crisis

In an instant, a large mass of black objects "smashed" over with the rushing floodwaters.

Despite Gu Ji’s advance warning, the rubber boat still didn’t manage to dodge in time, getting heavily slammed on the stern by the black mass, causing the entire boat to shake violently.

"Everyone hold tight!"

The rescue commander and Gu Ji shouted in unison.

Fortunately, the black mass was just a pile of branches tangled in the current, and the boat quickly stabilized under the driver’s operation. If it had been the kind that broke through train glass earlier, the entire rubber boat might have been overturned.

Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed across, like a giant serpent leaping through the clouds, followed by several bursts of thunder, and the rain intensified.

The fleet commander picked up a waterproof loudspeaker, urging the boat troops to evacuate quickly.

This made Gu Ji feel relieved; if he had urged the Central Cabinet Government any slower, the transport aircraft would not be able to land by now. While chatting with the lifeguards, he learned that the Indian Air Force Base dispatched a total of 9 Ilyushin Il-76s and the exorbitantly expensive C-17 strategic heavy transport aircraft.

Since they were willing to invest so much, the Cabinet Government naturally couldn’t waste such a great publicity opportunity.

Gu Ji noticed that at least four or five of the rubber boats within the boat troops were equipped with professional photographers responsible for capturing the rescue details.

"Vidi, look quickly!"

Fatima suddenly tugged at his sleeve, pointing to the water surface swept by the rubber boat’s lights not far away.

The surface was filled with similar dry branches and weeds like before, occasionally a stone would splash up, even the edges of the kayak were already made muddy by the turbid floodwater.

Gu Ji turned his head to look, deep in thought.

"It seems there has been a mudslide along the riverbank."

From the beginning, he felt that this flood was exceptionally murky. Opening your eyes in the water felt like being sanded by sandpaper. The formation conditions of mudslides often include steep terrain, abundant loose deposits, sudden and sustained heavy rain or large outflows of melting ice, where viscous mudslides erupt suddenly and aggressively, carrying solid contents up to 80%, having great destructive power, far scarier than floods.

The current situation appeared more like a dilute mudslide, primarily composed of water, with low viscous soil content, and solid materials accounting for 10-40%, being highly dispersed but deposits still damaging the ecology and transportation.

Gu Ji immediately found the rubber boat commander, advising them to avoid the train tunnels and hills ahead as much as possible.

"Additionally, I’d suggest you shut down and lift the outboard engines in due time, and switch to using paddles or bamboo poles. We’re in a forested environment now with narrow passages and low water levels, and too many solid substances in the water, easily entangling the outboard propellers or jamming the jet pumps. If the propulsion system suffers massive damage, future rescues will be significantly hindered!"

He initially suggested to the cabinet secretary to use detachable outboard power.

On one hand, it facilitates disassembly for transport and saves space; on the other, considering flood deposits usually high in mud and sand with low underwater visibility, the lack of basic channel data, navigation markers and lights, and numerous submerged wires, trunks, mounds and floating debris make the aquatic environment extremely complex, posing significant impacts on boat navigation.

The commander was a twenty-seven to twenty-eight-year-old square-faced Indian guy. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Upon hearing the suggestion, he was slightly startled, seemingly surprised at Gu Ji’s vast knowledge, instinctively asking, "Who are you..."

"Vidhi Dali, Assam State Emergency Management Command Disaster Deputy Commissioner!"

After hearing Gu Ji’s identity, the commander realized, understanding him to be an expert in disaster management.

However, what he didn’t know was that Fatima beside Gu Ji was also an expert, specializing in meteorology and flood disasters, yet she lacked knowledge of watercraft search and rescue.

In fact, throughout the state’s disaster management department, even Mr. Anurag didn’t compare to Gu Ji’s "versatility."

Meteorological analysis, developing emergency response strategies, on-site command, crisis medical emergency, and now he has added watercraft rescue to the list.

One could almost describe him as a monster.

While the commander reported to the fleet’s chief commander, Gu Ji appeared to be pondering, while secretly studying meteorology rewards and mission goals.

He mentally accessed the rewards.

Instantly, a semi-transparent dynamic light screen appeared before him, displaying a partial world map, with Bengal Bay, where large amounts of colorful, smoke-like gas were gathering over the ocean, the outermost layer being white, with deeper pink towards the center, turning crimson.

"It’s indeed military data, very detailed."

Gu Ji marveled at the complexity of the naval forecast model, dynamically covering a 10-day weather forecast, including ocean surface air temperature, cloud formation and movement predictions, low-altitude wind predictions, and atmospheric heat flux.

These meteorological data aren’t just for simple weather forecasting.

For example, low-altitude winds are very important for precise flying and guidance of military aircraft, missiles, and drones; the ocean’s surface air temperature affects calculating atmospheric waveguides in electronic warfare; predicting cloud movements is to support attack and defense intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions.

The precision was the only thing falling short.

The latest meteorological model developed in the United States has a unit pixel precision that can reach 3.5 kilometers, while Xia achieved sub-meter super-high precision locally for the Winter Olympics, but the Indian Navy’s model, although focused on the macro bay area, has a resolution of only about ten kilometers, still at the level of the United States from seven to eight years ago.
