On Thursday morning, an emergency blood call came from Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital, and when the phone was hung up, the staff of the Shenzhen Blood Center notified all posts to allocate as soon as possible. Since the blood transfusion department of the hospital is unable to store a large amount of blood, once there is a shortage of emergency rescue stock, it is necessary to apply to the blood center for blood transfer. Soon, the blood needed by Nanshan Hospital has been transferred out of the bank.
At this time, Shenzhen is in the morning rush hour, the vehicle is driving slowly, from the Shenzhen Blood Center to Nanshan Hospital, only 12 kilometers away, it takes nearly an hour to drive, how to send life-saving blood to the hospital as soon as possible? Fortunately, Li Songhua, the drone operator stationed at the Shenzhen Blood Center, received the blood, and then he will complete an "air" blood transportation.
Li Songhua: Every flight represents a life, and in a relay race, we will switch to road transportation when it rains heavily. After reaching the level 6 wind, we will not do air transportation, but will switch to ground transportation.
Fortunately, the weather conditions were good that day, and the drone could take off according to the established route. But a rain and a gust of wind in the flight are still challenges for Li Songhua.
Li Songhua: Our drones carry blood, and they need to fly in the air of the city. We needed to avoid tall buildings, gas stations, power stations, and some chemical plants.
At this time, the drone is flying over the green space as much as possible, and Li Songhua must not only avoid the dense flow of people on the ground to prevent accidents, but also complete the transportation as soon as possible to ensure that the blood quality is stable.
After a 10-minute flight, the drone landed smoothly in Nanshan Hospital in Shenzhen, and Li Songhua's colleagues received the blood and sent it to the hospital's blood transfusion department.
Li Songhua: First, timeliness, after we received the transportation task, it was the patients who were racing against time to rescue them. The second is our safety, we must ensure the safety of this blood sample during the flight mission.
Fa Pingping, chief technician of the blood transfusion department of Nanshan District People's Hospital in Shenzhen: If in the past, land transport drivers drove to collect blood, in the morning rush hour, the time could reach one and a half hours, or even two hours, but now we have adopted drones to collect blood, saving very valuable time for rescuing patients.
In August last year, the Shenzhen Blood Center began trial operation of drones to deliver blood in the air, and successively opened 11 routes. Although a single shipment can carry up to 8,000 milliliters of blood, so far, more than 1,600 kilograms have been transported, gaining valuable time to save lives. Li Songhua, who was born in the 00s, only graduated and joined the company last year, but he has been associated with drones since he was a teenager.
Li Songhua: My hometown is in Nanchong, Sichuan, and there are a lot of model aircraft players there. At that time, I was very interested in model airplanes. At that time, I chose a vocational school after the high school entrance examination, and the admissions teacher also introduced the drone major, and I also found that it was very closely related to model aircraft, and I was very interested at that time.
After the high school entrance examination, Li Songhua entered a vocational school in Chengdu to learn UAV general technology, with the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, Li Songhua realized that he not only learned a major he was interested in, but also saw broad employment prospects. So during his time at school, he obtained the civil drone pilot certificate in advance.
After graduation, Li Songhua applied for the current company, because the company cooperated with the Shenzhen Blood Center to carry out the drone blood transportation business, Li Songhua also became the first batch of "air blood carriers" in Shenzhen. After work, Li Songhua has gradually grown into a business backbone, from safely completing emergency deliveries again and again, to participating in unpaid blood donation, and the special work scene makes Li Songhua shoulder more responsibility.
In order to ensure the smooth 24-hour air blood transportation route, Li Songhua and his colleagues will work shifts every 12 hours.
Li Songhua: This workload, in fact, relatively speaking, does not have much personal time. From the beginning of contact with this industry, I slowly learned a lot of knowledge, and then found that this is not as simple as I imagined, I can do this industry for so long, and I do not regret choosing this job.
When mentioning employment at the press conference of the State Council Information Office on Tuesday, it was pointed out that technological progress is giving birth to many new occupations and new jobs, and drone operators like Li Songhua are currently short of up to 1 million people, and Li Songhua is also looking forward to more peers to join.
From the Internet era to the era of artificial intelligence, people have been worried that new technologies will replace humans and make it more difficult for people to find jobs, but first of all, don't forget that the development of the Internet has brought courier brothers and takeaway brothers into our lives, and the number of employees is very large, and artificial intelligence may also bring us a lot of unexpected surprises like the creation of new professions such as drone pilots.
