Recently, the disaster situation in Gansu has touched the hearts of the people of the whole country, and as soon as the earthquake occurred, all parties on the mainland dispatched rescue forces to rush to the scene to carry out disaster relief work.
Although the cold climate has added a lot of difficulties to the disaster relief, it can be seen from the photos sent back from the scene that many Chinese products have come in handy in this disaster relief operation.

As we all know, the magnitude of the earthquake was as high as 6.2, and the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, which led to the "golden 72 hours" of rescue, rescue activities will be limited due to the damage to power facilities and the lack of natural light. But this time, the mainland's domestically produced tethered drones played the role of a "little sun", illuminating the land in the entire earthquake area.
Unlike the battery-powered drones we have seen in the past, the tethered drone only needs a cable to supply power, and as long as the rope is not broken, the drone can always stop in the air for lighting, and as the altitude increases, the range of drone lighting will also increase, up to 8000 square meters, which can not only improve the efficiency of light, but also reduce the energy pressure in the disaster area.
In addition, in addition to lighting, tethered drones can also be equipped with cameras and sensors to transmit images and data from the disaster scene back to the command center in real time, helping commanders to grasp the on-site situation in a timely manner and effectively plan rescue operations. Most importantly, it can also act as a temporary communications relay station to help restore or establish emergency communication networks and ensure unimpeded communication between rescue teams and with the outside world.
In short, this drone plays a very important role in the disaster relief site, which greatly enhances the overall rescue efficiency.

The second "Made in China" that played a role in the disaster relief site is even more heavyweight, as a big killer on the battlefield, in the face of rescue operations, it has turned into an artifact, which is the mainland's Pterodactyl-2H UAV.
As a mid-to-high-end long-endurance multi-purpose unmanned combat aerial vehicle system developed by the mainland, the Pterodactyl-2H has a long endurance time and is generally capable of more than 20 hours of continuous flight, which allows it to perform long-term reconnaissance, surveillance and strike missions. In addition, the drone can also carry a variety of sensors and weapon systems, including electro-optical or infrared camera systems, synthetic aperture radar, precision-guided bombs and missiles, etc., which can adapt to different combat needs.
In terms of stealth performance, although it is not as good as professional stealth UAVs, it reduces the radar reflection cross section to a certain extent and improves the survivability on the battlefield. Therefore, in modern warfare, it is a terrifying weapon of great destruction.
However, at the scene of the disaster area, this mass killing weapon has been transformed into an artifact of disaster relief.
We all know that during the Wenchuan earthquake, because communications in the disaster area were cut off, the mainland PLA could only obtain the disaster situation in the disaster area by blindly jumping from a high altitude, and this practice brought a certain risk to the personal safety of the PLA. Now that we have the Pterodactyl-2H UAV, we can use the UAV to conduct aerial reconnaissance and assessment of the affected areas, providing real-time geographic information and disaster analysis for the rescue team, and solving the problem that the mainland could not understand the situation in the disaster area at the first time.
In addition, it can also use high-definition cameras or infrared imaging equipment to search for survivors in buried or difficult terrain, and transmit location information back to the rescue command center in real time.

What's more, when the communication infrastructure in the disaster area is damaged, the Pterodactyl-2H drone can also act as a temporary air base station to restore the communication connection within 50 square kilometers, which means that as long as one aircraft is present, communication can be restored immediately in the disaster area.
China's actions have also taught the whole world a lesson, the potential of drones can not only be played on the battlefield, it can not only kill people, but also save people, so how to use drones, China gives the standard answer.
The last made in China to play a role is our Huawei mobile phone.
In the face of catastrophes, the mainland has always been in trouble from one side and supported from all sides, and the Gansu earthquake was no exception. In this rescue operation, China Telecom responded quickly by transporting satellite communication equipment to the disaster area, providing a stable communication link between disaster relief personnel and affected people. In addition, they urgently provided 100 Huawei mobile phones equipped with satellite communication functions so that residents can send messages to their families through satellites to report their safety.
Previously, there have been doubts about Huawei's satellite communication function, and some people believe that this function seems to be cutting-edge, but it is not a mainstream demand, and for most consumers, it is a kind of excess technology investment, after all, satellite communication integration adds an additional cost burden.
But now that there are ready-made cases in front of us, we can better understand that this function is not simply a "show-off", but an important tool to save people's lives at critical moments.

In short, the glory of Made in China is far more than the accumulation of production and sales figures, it is more reflected in how to meet the needs of the Chinese themselves through quality improvement and continuous innovation, and ultimately improve the living standards of the whole people. Facing the future, we have reason to believe that Made in China will continue to surpass itself, light up the life of every Chinese with higher standards and a more perfect attitude, and let every corner feel the warmth and light of China's intelligent manufacturing.
