The search and rescue process is full of unknowns
Although the location of Han Ting's body has been surveyed through robots, it is still difficult to rescue him from the water.
The first is that this 110-meter-deep area has a difficult terrain and is full of twists and turns of caves, which robots simply cannot pass through. This requires artificial diving to achieve search and rescue.
However, divers who are skilled enough to dive to such depths are very rare, and even if they are competent enough, they face great physical risks.
The water pressure of 110 meters is a huge test for the physical and mental state of the divers. They will need to stay underwater for hours while navigating complex caves to rescue Han Ting.
This is also a huge shock to their psychology, after all, the deceased peers in front of them may have fought side by side.
Various decompression measures are also the top priority in this search and rescue. Divers need to prepare enough gas mixtures, and at the same time release balloons during the ascent process to decompress, and stay at each depth for a period of time to allow the nitrogen in the body to be slowly discharged and avoid creating bubbles to block blood vessels and cause bubble decompression sickness.
This is undoubtedly particularly time-consuming.
At the same time, the families of the divers involved in the search and rescue are both worried and proud. They are proud of their family's courage and are well aware of the dangers of working underwater. The relevant departments also contacted the family as soon as possible to offer condolences and work.
None of us know what difficulties the divers will face in this search and rescue. But they will be determined to complete this last rescue.
We also sincerely hope that all the rescue workers will return safely and wait for the fruits of their efforts.
Han Ting, a middle-aged man with an unpretentious name. Even though he is famous in the diving world, his appearance is not ostentatious at all. The slightly longer black hair has not been well taken care of all year round, and the facial features are three-dimensional but there is no literati temperament, only the careful eyes reveal the owner's indifferent and calm personality.
Having dedicated the rest of his life to the underwater business, he has become Xi to boring and monotonous training day after day. He is not a good talker, and spends most of his time quietly studying the underwater terrain in preparation for his next adventure.
Occasionally, when he relaxes and rests, he only sits in a daze and rarely interacts with people.
However, once in the water, he transforms into a fish. Even in the most treacherous circumstances, he can walk on the ground and take it in stride. Years of diving experience have long sharpened all his emotional ups and downs, and he is blind to life and death.
His unusually strong heart is the best security.
Once upon a time, the diver who calmly commanded in the midst of the war in the movie "Wolf Warrior" was Han Ying himself. Not only is he famous in the film and television industry, but he is also one of the top diving professionals in the country.
When it comes to the third most dangerous sport in the world, I'm afraid no one can match it.
However, he was arrogant all his life, and he could not escape this bizarre change. When the hope of rescue is slim, we miss his love and dedication to this sport during his lifetime, and lament the impermanence of life.
It was the first weekend of October 2022, and it was supposed to be a rare day off for Han Ting. However, for this man who loves the underwater world, it has become a second home.
Even in the dead of night, when there was no wind on the lake, he did not hesitate to come.
At night that day, Han Ying dressed neatly as usual, carried only a flashlight, and drove to the Jiudun skylight alone. The night was so dark that even the moonlight could not penetrate the lake.
He walked steadily to the docks, looking at the darkness before him, with only a few bits of light looming.
Already familiar with this place, he was not afraid at all. After a little preparation, Han Ying resolutely took a step and disappeared into this dark water isolated from the world. After two or three meters of depth, the last shimmer of light above the head is gone, and in its place is the colder and more biting water than expected.
However, this had little effect on Han Ting. In this forbidden place, where no one can enter, his world has long been left with himself, breathing equipment, and the unfathomable scenery of the bottom of the lake.
The low temperature of the lake made Han Ying more awake, and he relied on his muscle memory to dive slowly, exploring the mysteries of this mysterious forbidden area as always.
It wasn't until dawn that this seemingly ordinary diving training came to an end. However, what people never expected was that when the sun rose, Han Ying was no longer in this water.
In this way, he mysteriously disappeared in the field he loved the most.
It wasn't until 8 a.m. the next day that the staff realized that Han had not returned. Suddenly, an inexplicable panic swept over. Everyone immediately called the police and launched a large-scale search and rescue that lasted for several days.
For a while, various media also heard the news, and countless netizens who paid attention to Han Ying also formed online volunteer teams on major social platforms. However, after 40 hours, the actual search results still found nothing.
The hope of the search and rescue team has been slimmed, and they can only hope that Han Ying was not killed underwater.
At this time, a search and rescue notice with clear handwriting suddenly appeared in a conspicuous position in the Jiudun Skylight Scenic Area, attracting everyone's sideways. This middle-aged man with a dark face is none other than Han Ting, a pillar of the underwater world in Asia and a diving consultant for the movie "Wolf Warrior".
The notice details Han Ting's dress code, the exact time and place of his disappearance, and the fact that the scenic area offers a lucrative search and rescue payment. The pay figures are surprisingly high, and it seems to show that the scenic area has even a glimmer of hope for the top diver to survive.
The last paragraph of the notice even reads: "The person who assists in finding Han Ting's clues will receive the company's 10-year free training qualification."
After a lapse of 4 days, the scenic spot relied on a small robot to finally find Han Ting's body in the 110-meter submarine canyon. I saw him lying quietly in the narrow gap between the two cliffs, and there was no sign of life.
"Wouldn't it?! How can this be!" Chen Dapeng, the leader of the search and rescue team, clasped his hands and trembled with excitement. He looked around, and the rest of the team looked incredulous.
As a rescue team, they are the best professionals in the industry, but it is the first time they have seen such a difficult situation to salvage. "Everybody went to the site for a field trip.
The group soon appeared in the underwater canyon where the incident occurred, and witnessed the images transmitted by the robot. One of the veteran team members' face sank, and said in a deep voice: "This kind of terrain is likely to take several weeks to successfully salvage...... To make matters worse, we are all in danger of losing our lives.
When the other team members heard this, they couldn't help but close their eyes, and the worst plan had already appeared in their minds.
Faced with such a tragic situation, the search and rescue team quickly launched an emergency meeting to study the next salvage countermeasures. As top professionals in the rescue team, they naturally understand that this depth is sufficient for most divers
It was extremely difficult, let alone carrying a body through the narrow and twisted terrain to the surface safely.
If you are not careful, the rescuers who carry out the salvage will also be in danger of life at any time.
At the meeting, team leader Chen Dapeng pointed out that the seabed terrain is complex and the geology is soft, and once there is an unexpected situation such as a landslide, the consequences are unimaginable. Coupled with the fact that the location where Han Ting's body was trapped was hidden and narrow, it was likely that it would take several weeks to finally salvage it.
What's more, most of the professional divers use oxygen cylinders and nitrogen-nitrogen mixtures to dive. As the depth increases, the concentration of nitrogen also increases, which can easily lead to "nitrogen intoxication".
Top cave diving experts like Han usually add helium to dilute it, but this still requires rescuers to strictly control the speed when ascending, and decompress at different depths, even the slightest mistake can kill you.
In summary, the difficulty of rescue is that the environment is complex, and the need for hybrid diving and precise decompression is full of unknowns and unprecedented risks. There are very few candidates in the country who are really capable of carrying out such rescues.
Thinking of this, the team members couldn't help but look at each other, and a glimmer of hope for finding the body was gone.
At a time when the original search and rescue team almost gave up hope, the situation took an unexpected turn. It is reported that as soon as the bad news was received, many top diving and rescue experts in the country had driven to reinforcements overnight.
Among them, there are many veteran experts with deep qualifications and gray hair, and there are also many elite forces who are full of enthusiasm in their prime. It can be said that all of them are the best in this industry.
Subsequently, personnel from more than 10 private companies that signed deep diving rescue contracts also came to the rescue with underwater machinery and equipment. The professional equipment in the hands of these foreign aides is enough to deal with extremely difficult underwater situations, and it will only show great power when it comes to life and death.
They will also cooperate with the original search and rescue team in the scenic spot, discuss countermeasures together, obey the command of the captain, and face difficulties.
"With the backing of outside people and equipment, the certainty of the success of this salvage can be increased by 30%!" Du Jian, the person in charge of the scenic spot, said excitedly. This reinforcement came just in time, and everyone saw the dawn of a greatly improved success rate.
Today, more than a week after the accident, Han Ting's body is still lying quietly in the 110-meter-deep underwater canyon, integrated with his favorite underwater career.
We don't know what happened to him in the last moments of his life, but what is clear is that he probably had an accident in the field he did best and loved the most.
This is undoubtedly a great irony and regret for his life.
As a model for this industry, we can only pray that the diving heroes who go to the rescue mission will be careful, safe and successful. I hope that they can overcome many difficulties, salvage Han Ting's body intact, and even find out the cause of the accident and give him justice.
Regardless of the outcome, we will always remember this hero who has made great contributions to the underwater cause of China and the whole of Asia. Just as he was passionate about adventure during his lifetime, we wish him all the best in his future life and the courage to continue to explore the mysteries of the sea.
