He folded the electric insulating suit neatly and packed it into the box.
Ti to go.
On the way back, everyone was ruminating.
Such large electric fields capable of causing sustained damage were a first-ti experience for everyone present.
The skills they honed on a regular basis were almost useless.
"Instructor, your cigarettes," Fang Huai said as he pulled out the two packs of cigarettes given by the People’s Ard Police Detachnt Captain and handed them to Cao Yi.
Cao Yi opened the cigarettes, distributing one to each person, and finally looked at Fang Huai.
"Instructor, don’t test ; I really don’t smoke," Fang Huai said, shaking his head.
It was then that Cao Yi smiled and said, "Hao Chengbin told that you used to smoke? The new recruit group indeed offers a good opportunity to quit, and you seized it."
Fang Huai smiled.
In fact, he still had cravings, but it was just that he also had a high-voltage line in his mind.
Quitting smoking was difficult only during the first few days, but the "harsh environnt" of the new recruit group had forcefully suppressed his habit of smoking whenever he encountered a problem.
Those who truly manage to quit smoking, much like those who persist in working out, are often those hoping for substantial health benefits.
And these benefits are definitely real.
Even more imdiate than the results of working out.
Talking about reducing the risk of diseases or boosting the immune system might sound abstract.
But quit smoking for a week, and all the nicotine clears out of your body; you’ll feel more energetic, breathe more easily, boost your fertility, your skin tone improves, bad breath recedes, and your sense of taste and sll partially returns.
Those obsessed with these rewards, whenever they feel the urge to smoke and their addiction flares up, rely thinking of these benefits can dispel the palpitations in their hearts.
Going out for a walk and breathing in so fresh air, thinking about the better version of yourself that’s just around the corner, the lancholy brought on by nicotine cravings disappears as well.
Those who are able to quit don’t need any aids like quit-smoking candy or chewing gum—and relying on e-cigarettes to quit is utter nonsense.
What’s the point of smoking? Find a green belt and breathe in fresh air, deeply and in large gulps, and it won’t cause any harm to your body.
Plus, the action of deep breathing is quite similar to that of smoking, which can partially alleviate the addiction.
As for Fang Huai, his will to quit smoking was even stronger than most people’s.
He was a beneficiary; lighting up just one cigarette would not only start damaging his body again but would also an imdiate punishnt from the system.
The nervous system, how damn important is that?
This strong will made resisting a single tempting cigarette incredibly easy.
"Hey, Fang Huai, in situations like today’s high voltage, if our team mbers encounter it, how could they use their abilities to escape?"
Cao Yi, after finishing his cigarette, seed to have savored its taste and felt that even well-trained firefighters were helpless in such situations, which left him sowhat discontent. He turned to ask Fang Huai.
After serious thought, Fang Huai answered:
"Instructor, you studied liberal arts, right?
Voltage itself isn’t lethal; as long as you’re in the sa voltage environnt, high voltage will only cause electromagnetic radiation.
It’s the voltage difference that generates current and can be deadly.
So, even if both your hands touch a high-voltage line, as long as you’re hanging in the air and not touching any grounded wire, you’ll be fine.
But our soldiers can’t all understand this, so in such situations, the only correct approach is to cut the power."
"And what if it’s an ergency and you must go in to save soone?" Cao Yi continued.
After today’s incident, he was imbued with a sense of preventing disaster before it occurs.
Fang Huai was montarily at a loss for words.
Today’s voltage clearly wasn’t too high; reality is, entering a high-voltage environnt of tens of thousands of volts is practically suicide.
The Logistics Officer, however, laughed. He sensed Cao Yi’s intention, stroked his goatee thoughtfully, and said with a touch of wisdom:
"Old Cao, our firefighting isn’t just about firefighting but prevention too, right? What’s the purpose of Safety Day?
Electricity is complicated, there are too many ways to get electrocuted, and rescuing from a high-voltage situation is difficult. What we can do is to maximize awareness, educate the public to use electricity safely, and learn to escape and rescue themselves."
Cao Yi then snapped out of it and laughed, saying:
"Right, the Logistics Officer makes a good point. I just wanted to do sothing, otherwise I feel like those three people today... died in vain right before our eyes."
Having said that, Cao Yi glanced at his watch and added:
"Well, it’s just a couple of days away."
...
Evening.
"Attention～ Attention!"
"All squads, comnce your squad etings!"
Hao Chengbin and Huang Yong returned to their squad with a notebook from the Squadron Departnt.
Platoon leaders Wu Di, Zhou Yong, Chen Zhenghai, and Fang Huai sat attentively.
This small squad had two platoon leaders.
Intern platoon leader Wu Di, still a cadet, did not participate in the squadron’s managent and was treated almost the sa as a non-commissioned officer, mainly because it was his third year of military service when he was accepted into the Military Academy.
If he had been a cadet from a Langfang undergraduate program assigned to the squadron, without previous military service, in so squadrons, he might even have to clean and wash dishes alongside new recruits.
Semi-new recruit treatnt.
Hao Chengbin, the non-commissioned officer acting as platoon leader, had so authority, able to take part in so of the squadron’s managerial activities, especially training-related matters.
However, regarding squad affairs, he conscientiously followed the rules, respecting the arrangents made by the squad leader, Huang Yong.
Once in the squad room, Hao Chengbin took a seat next to Huang Yong.
Huang Yong didn’t ramble and sat in the center.
"Let’s talk about this week’s work plan."
Fang Huai glanced at the notebook in Huang Yong’s hand, cramd with content, quite a lot to cover.
Just that the handwriting was horrible.
Lacking the flair of a physician’s prescription, yet perfectly inheriting the spirit of illegible scribbles.
Noticing the slightly teasing look in Fang Huai’s eyes, Huang Yong coughed and covered the notebook, raising his voice as he adopted an official tone:
"First item, ah, the main task for this week! It is... preparing for the Olympics rehearsal."
Huang Yong said as he opened the notebook again and began reciting like reading from a text:
"Hmm, the drill at People’s Square.
In May this year, our Guiyang’s Olympic Sports Center project will be launched. This project aims to promote the athletic spirit of the Guiyang people, and the implentation of the Olympic spirit among the general public.
Once completed, Guiyang will have its own ’Bird’s Nest.’
It’s very important.
According to the Detachnt’s requirents, we’re going to carry out a simulation drill in the city’s People’s Square, with the objective of preparing for various types of fires and safety accidents that could potentially occur at the Olympic Sports Center.
This exercise will mobilize 11 Fire Brigades from across the city area, with over 40 fire trucks participating.
The drill will be prepared twice, and the formal exercise will begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday next week.
It’s a drill with a broad scope and a large space."
As he spoke, Huang Yong turned the page: "The firefighting rescue drill."
Fang Huai couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Huang Yong fixed him with a stern look: "Fang Huai, what are you laughing at? Have you been behaving too well recently and not been disciplined by the squad leader for a while?
I’m telling you, being physically fit is one thing, but strict adherence to the rules is another! We are the Special Duty Squad of the Special Duty Team! We must demand strict compliance from ourselves in all aspects!"
Hao Chengbin also knocked on the table: "This is a squad eting! What’s so funny? Discipline! Be serious!"
"Yes, sir!" Fang Huai imdiately straightened his face.
"Fang Huai, the next item is your responsibility!" Huang Yong, seeing the next content, continued:
"This Wednesday, which is March 19th!
Every year on November 9th is the National Day for Fire Safety Education! Our Squadron has an unwritten rule, on the 19th of every month, we have the Squadron’s Monthly Publicity Day!
It’s also open house day!
This ti, the Squadron Departnt is planning a serious open house and publicity event. Besides residents, we will also invite fire-safety officers and staff from several district administrations to participate.
In the morning, we go to the best school in the city, No.1 Middle School, to conduct a fire drill!
In the afternoon, the Squadron is open for public outreach!
The Squadron Departnt selected two presenters, one is Team Zhang, and the other is you.
And those responsible for demonstrating firefighting operations are Little Black and Zhao Jinchen.
Instructor Cao has already said that you should emphasize the importance of electrical safety, and you should prepare so content for the presentation.
It has to be lively and interesting, leaving an impression, while also being profound and solemn, awakening people’s awareness! Do you have the confidence?"
As the words fell, everyone looked at Fang Huai.
Fang Huai’s inner voice was speechless.
Lively and interesting, yet profound and solemn??
This requirent sounded like the whims of a client’s son—capricious and clueless, wanting everything under the sun.
"I’ll do my best, squad leader..." Fang Huai, too weary to argue with these obstinate people, responded ekly.
"What do you an ’do your best’? Take this seriously! This activity will be reported to the Detachnt! They will have to coordinate with the Big Team and the Detachnt for the participation of various units!" Huang Yong emphasized again.
"Yes! Can I use the multidia classroom for a short lesson? I’ll make a PPT," Fang Huai asked.
"No problem, you go to the Microcomputer Room these days, just let know," Huang Yong replied.
Fang Huai nodded: "Then every noon, I will need soone to assist , to help compile data and do so miscellaneous tasks."
As usual, Fang Huai requested so "bonus spots."
Helping out was a good chance to benefit his sa year soldiers.
To give them a chance to go online with him.
Hao Chengbin gave Fang Huai a aningful look.
That rascal, always seizing opportunities, he had rallied the sa year soldiers tightly around him.
"I’ll talk to the Squadron Departnt, it shouldn’t be a problem," Huang Yong nodded before continuing:
"One last thing, after the drill is over next Tuesday, on Wednesday, the Corps Martial Arts Competition will comnce.
Fang Huai, what I’m about to say next is not from the Squadron Departnt, but from and Zhou Yong. We would like to ask you a question.
Think carefully before you answer, do you really want to compete in the Corps Martial Arts Competition?
If you think you have a chance, Zhou Yong and I might be able to give you a spot."
That question still ca.
Fang Huai called up the system task interface in his mind and took a glance.
[Task Completion Degree: 59 points.]
The first leg strengthening session was about to be carried out, and it was likely too late for the second strengthening before the competition.
Moreover, the exact degree of strengthening was unclear.
Right now, Fang Huai didn’t know whether he could achieve a higher overall score than Huang Yong or Little Black in the Corps Martial Arts Competition.
Fang Huai tapped his fingers on the table twice and asked, "What does the Squadron Departnt say?"
"The Squadron Departnt hasn’t ntioned changing the candidate for now, we wanted to ask you after discussing it ourselves," Huang Yong said frankly.
Fang Huai heaved a sigh: "I will comply with the Squadron’s arrangents."
He was aware of Instructor Cao’s concerns; his five-kiloter and sprint performances were not yet up to par, and he was not sure he’d be able to achieve a top overall score.
If Huang Yong and Zhou Yong were chosen and sothing went wrong, it could be chalked up to an off-performance from the core mbers of the Squadron.
But if Fang Huai himself was chosen and faltered, the Instructor would certainly bla Cao Yi for selecting a new recruit.
Thus, Cao Yi preferred not to take any action at all rather than make a mistake.
Fang Huai didn’t want to insist on participating either because he was not certain about the overall placent he could achieve.
He definitely wouldn’t get first place; even Liu Shoulin from his own Detachnt, who he’d competed against the other day, was not clearly outmatched in every discipline, let alone other areas where Liu excelled and which they hadn’t even competed in yet.
And there were certainly experts in the other eight Detachnts as well.
So both Fang Huai and Cao Yi tacitly tried to avoid this matter, neither wanting to take responsibility.
It was sowhat of a human’s inherent weakness.
However, Fang Huai hoped that he and Cao Yi wouldn’t co to regret this decision.
