12 Minutes of Power Outage in Branch 7

Electrical maintenance worker Ma Jingxiu received an emergency order and went to the No. 7 Hospital of Hospice to repair external power nodes. The other party said it was just a fluctuation in the backup line, but he soon discovered that the so-called fault was not the aging of the equipment, but that someone had accurately placed an insulating gasket, causing the control system to briefly shut down at a critical moment. Procedures required him to restore power immediately. But during the twelve-minute power outage window, access control was downgraded, broadcasts were interrupted, some people took advantage of the chaos to escape, some stuffed papers into their pockets, and some finally heard the names erased by the system. Ma Jingxiu doesn't understand the truth deep inside the Hospice. He is just an electrical repairman. He knows that there is no cognitive bias in circuit diagrams. He also knows that a report that is rewritten as "equipment aging" may contain a person's life, death and memory. The extra thirty seconds he took out might not change the world. But for someone who is being taken away, that may be just enough to write a sentence, open a door, or let a name stay.
