新闻报报看 | 长得不讨喜又不受欢迎的小强蟑螂，从古至今一直背负着“肮脏、恶心”的骂名，但从现在开始，蟑螂反而成了救灾行动的奇兵，在废墟中搜寻幸存者。新加坡派出两名工程师，携带10只半机械蟑螂到缅甸地震重灾区实地搜救，成为全球首例！（主播：庄文杰、洪欣仪）

00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.
00:30The Singapore Internal Affairs and Technology Bureau sent two engineers to search and rescue half-mechanical cockroaches in Burma for the first time.
00:36They used technology to help rescue people.
00:38This is the first cockroach in the world to officially participate in front-line search and rescue work.
00:43It sounds incredible.
00:45But this time, it's not an imitation of a mechanical cockroach.
00:48It's a real Madagascar cockroach.
00:52Engineers from the Singapore Internal Affairs and Technology Bureau said that
00:55as soon as they received the task, the team prepared to use plastic boxes with holes to distribute the 10 cockroaches overnight.
01:02At the same time, they added radishes and wet wipes to make sure that the cockroaches are in good condition.
01:07At the same time, they also made anti-dust measures for electronic devices.
01:10The next day, they flew to Yangguang and then took a minibus to Naybidu.
01:15It can be said that they climbed mountains and shot water, and finally arrived in the severe disaster area of Burma.
01:20The search and rescue operation went well.
01:21After connecting with the Burmese authorities, the search and rescue dogs immediately launched the first round of search.
01:26Then the engineers put the semi-mechanical cockroaches in the ruins
01:30and searched the narrow space where the search and rescue dogs and machines could not reach.
01:34In the ruins, the tiles collapsed layer by layer.
01:37It was a huge challenge whether to check with a dog or to move with a machine.
01:41But such a severe disaster scene, for cockroaches of only 6 cm in size,
01:47it was easy for them to move in the ruins.
01:51Cockroach soldiers moved three times in total, about 40 minutes each time.
01:57Unfortunately, no survivors were found in the cockroach squad.
02:01Some people may be curious.
02:03Why did the cockroaches obediently assist humans in the search and rescue mission?
02:08In fact, the engineers installed thermostats, navigation sensors,
02:14and wireless communication devices in the ruins.
02:17In the process of searching,
02:19a small amount of electricity is needed to stimulate the cockroach's nerve muscles
02:23and control their climbing direction.
02:25Even in a complex and small terrain, cockroaches can come and go freely.
02:29Once the thermostat behind detects the heat source of the human body,
02:33it will immediately notify the control system,
02:35and find the trapped survivors.
02:43To be continued
