Jiang Yiming flew into space orbit and saw that most of the land around the Martian equator was covered with green, and he felt that it was very pleasing to the eye, and it was finally not that lifeless red. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there are only three plants growing now: Martian moss, Orr grass, and Martian emperor bamboo grass, it cannot be denied that Mars has nothing to do with dead silence at all.

Of the three plants, only Orrgrass has the strongest vitality and can be planted directly outside the greenhouse, even sandstorms cannot destroy it. So from the sky, the green is dark green, as if it has been dyed with a layer of rich green. Compared to the emerald green color of the earth, it is much darker.

Now it's time to try breeding herbivores. If there are plants and animals alone, the vitality of the Martian land is still a little insufficient.

Jiang Yiming decided that when he returned to the ground, he would start breeding animals that could adapt to the harsh environment of Mars, presumably the inhabitants of Mars had eaten enough moss and couldn't wait to replenish protein.

With the exception of settlements in New Australia, cities in other countries rarely transport food from Earth in order to reduce costs, and almost all of their capacity is spent on equipment that cannot be produced on Mars. So people living on Mars can only survive by eating moss paste and some nutrients.

Recently, it's a little better, and there are Orr grass and Martian Emperor bamboo grass to improve the taste. However, because of the poor conditions, if you want to make a variety of methods like the earth, you can't count on other ways to deal with it except for the paste or microwave oven baking.

Jiang Yiming landed on the ground and plunged into the laboratory to study which animal was strong in survival and easy to modify. He has earthworms, ants, and rats on his list.

If you rank according to the difficulty, earthworms are the easiest, and rats are the most difficult. Because rats are mammals, they are demanding from the environment.

"Well, forget about the earthworms, let's start with the ants." He thought about it for a while, and felt that it was more difficult for humans to accept earthworms as food, so he chose ants as the original to start the transformation.

The orbit of Mars is not as deserted as it was half a year ago, but it has become very lively. Roughly calculated, dozens of spaceships leave or land every hour, looking prosperous.

In the past six months, forces such as China, the United States, and the European Union have built hundreds of spaceships to mine in the asteroid belt. Coupled with the fact that those multinational companies have followed the trend and created thousands of search spaceships, it really has a bit of the appearance of the space age.

A mining ship of the South Asian Alliance dragged an asteroid with a diameter of 100 meters to the orbit of Mars, and did not intend to land, but stopped in orbit.

For such a phenomenon, it is strange that no spaceship is surprised. The conditions on Mars are backward, and these rare minerals are not needed, and the ultimate goal of most mining ships is the earth. Only a variety of developed industrial supporting measures there can make full use of these rare minerals.

Ahem, ahem! One of the crew members of the South Asian mining ship coughed a few times and had to cover his mouth to avoid letting saliva drift into the spacecraft's space.

"Hi, how are you feeling? I'll send you to New Delhi to see a doctor right away, hold on! The first mate said as he stood on the wall wearing a pair of magnetic boots on his feet. At this time, he was still six meters away from the crew and was not close.

"Made, hurry up and send me down, I'm about to lose it!" The crew coughed a few more times and turned pale.

The first mate didn't want to die of illness on board, let alone the healthy crew being infected, so he quickly instructed his subordinates to stuff the crew into a small aircraft and send the sick to Mars.

New Delhi and other city hospitals, the only one, were responsible for the more than 10,000 people in the city, as well as the crew members of the ships.

It's not that the mayor doesn't want to expand the hospital, but the conditions on Mars are harsh, and there is no curry to eat, and the reason is that there are few doctors and nurses. Fortunately, more than a dozen doctors were able to keep the hospital running.

When the sick crew members of the mining ship were admitted to the hospital in New Delhi, the doctors began to treat them as if they were a common cold, using some common soothing medicines. However, two days later, the crew's condition was even worse, and each cough brought out a large amount of blood, and doctors discovered that the cold virus had never appeared and was a new variant.

At this time, the hospital didn't care too much, the cold virus, new varieties appeared every day, but when the crew died due to internal bleeding, the hospital began to officially come up. Next, the virus was sent to a laboratory for careful examination.

A few hours later, the doctors in the lab rushed out and yelled at the dean, "Hurry! The source of the virus must be found, and hospitals must be closed so that the virus does not continue to infect others.

This virus is not a cold virus, but a new deadly infectious virus, but it behaves very similar to a cold in the initial stages! It is extremely contagious and has a high fatality rate of 40%. ”

Ahem! The doctor, who had been in contact with the sick crew, collapsed, feverish, coughing, and pale.

"Closed Hospital!" Knowing that the situation was urgent, the superintendent immediately closed the floodgates and isolated the hospital from New Delhi.

The cities on Mars are all half-buried, covered by a huge shield, and people don't have to wear spacesuits in the city, which is much easier. But in this way, the whole city is an enclosed space, and it is easy to spread diseases.

Some countries with less developed medical technology, such as the Southeast Asian Association city of New Hanoi, have been infected with the same virus en masse. If it weren't for the support of China and the United States, most of the citizens of New Hanoi would have been admitted to the hospital, and the entire city would have been paralyzed.

Since then, all cities have learned their lesson by installing barrier gates in each individual building that cut off air circulation between the building and the city.

"No, Dean! The gate seems to be broken and cannot be closed. A stout security guard shouted.

The dean from India stomped his foot fiercely, remembering the aircraft carrier that had been built for more than ten years and was still a long time before completion, and a breath of anger was born in his chest: "Damn, we must make the company that makes the floodgates bankrupt, otherwise such inferior products will continue to appear!" ”

Bang, bang, one by one, the doctors and nurses fell ill, and the hospital soon became a source of infection.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the dean quickly reported the matter to the mayor of New Delhi, and quietly boarded a spaceship bound for Earth with a lot of money: the medical technology on Mars is too imperfect, and it is necessary to go to Earth to invite senior experts to come over to solve the problem. It's up to me to do this daunting task.

The mayor of New Delhi sent someone into the hospital, and when he saw that almost all the doctors and nurses were lying on the beds, he felt a chill in his heart, knowing that New Delhi could not control this matter at all, and immediately turned to the United States, China, and the European Union for help. If you wait for reinforcements from the South Asian Alliance on the other side of the world, it will take at least a week, and you don't know what the whole city will become at that time.

After receiving New Delhi's request for help, China, the United States, and the European Union were very concerned and immediately sent virus experts to the country.

The environment on Mars is harsh, and cooperation between countries is greater than competition, which is not the same as the fierce confrontation between each other on Earth. Quite simply, as long as the inhabitants of Mars walk out of the settlement and see the desolate environment, they know the loveliness of society.

In this way, when human beings are not yet masters, there is a harsh environment outside, and there are fragile residential cities inside, and the infighting between humans is naturally reduced, and cooperation is the mainstream.

At the same time, the search for the mining ship was carried out almost simultaneously, and the spacecraft carrying the virus agent had to be found immediately, otherwise it was not known how many spacecraft it would spread. In the worst case, if the other side of the earth is also spread by the mutant virus, the trouble will be even greater.

Whoosh! At stake for their own safety, the spacecraft near Mars scattered like frightened hornets. All South Asian Alliance mining ships, or spacecraft that have been in contact with South Asian Alliance mining ships, will be required to come to space 100,000 kilometers away from Mars as soon as they are discovered.

The Earth side also received a warning from Mars, and immediately laid a defensive line to prohibit the South Asian Alliance mining ships from landing.

The reason for this is that the situation in the city of New Delhi on Mars has deteriorated, and more than 2,000 people have died so far. This bad news, like a shock wave after the explosion of a nuclear bomb, frightened all countries.

As time passed, the situation continued to slide into the abyss.

Cities near New Delhi on Mars, like the alliance between Russia and Japan, and the cities of the South American alliance. Because of the personnel communication with New Delhi, the traces of the mutant virus were found after some examination by virus experts, and it was only then that it was learned that more than 100 people had fallen and entered the hospital.

In the tightly sealed hospitals, most people who learned that they had been infected with the mutant virus were in a state of great excitement.

"No, I'm going back to Earth! I'm not going to die on Mars! ”

"Mother, Mary, I'll never see you again! I wouldn't have come to Mars if I had known. ”

"Mars can't save us, only by sending us to Earth can we have a glimmer of life, do you know? If you keep us here, you'll definitely kill you! ”

These patients are confined to small wards, like death row inmates in cages, and can only wait for death slowly. Nowadays, it is not even very clear what kind of virus there is, let alone serum, antiviral factors, etc.

All the doctors and virus experts in the hospitals and laboratories of various countries did not stop to rest for several days, and finally achieved some results at this time, the DNA sequence of the mutant virus was clearly detected, and it was sent to the other side of the earth along with the virus sample. The experts on the Earth side are hundreds or thousands of times larger than those on the Mars side, and their research power is much stronger.

All countries on the earth attach great importance to it, it is really too profitable to mine asteroids, and no one wants to lag behind the times and watch other countries develop rapidly because of space colonization.

The mutant virus must be eradicated, and space mining must continue! This is the determination of most countries and forces that have invested huge resources into space.

The pressure from the top is passed on to virus experts in various countries, but determination is not enough for research work, but also real efforts.

The virus experts on this side of the planet worked diligently and worked tirelessly, and soon achieved great results.

"Oh, the bases in this virus are like a hodgepodge, doped with the genes of six or seven viruses, which is really amazing. Influenza virus, avian influenza virus, hemorrhagic fever virus, etc., what's going on? ”

"Are the rays in space so powerful? Never before has a virus in space been found to produce such changes. ”

"Don't forget, in the past, only astronauts went into space, and the number was less than a hundred. Now there are more than 100,000 people in space, hundreds of thousands, and it is very normal for the virus to mutate in so many people. ”

"This year is definitely the first year of the space virus, and as everyone who has stepped into space, the virus has also mutated, and its infectivity and lethality have increased significantly."

The virology leader who presided over the research said: "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, the most important thing is to find a way to restrain this mutant virus, vaccines, special therapies are available, and the situation on Mars is getting worse and worse." Just now, I received the latest news that the death toll in New Delhi, Mars, has exceeded three thousand! ”

Virus experts nodded and began to validate various treatments.

The mutant virus was too big to be kept secret, and soon the whole planet knew about it, and then people became panicked. Space Virus! It sounds terrible, and everyone is worried.

In particular, the 3,000 dead people in New Delhi on Mars are like a bucket of ice water poured on human heads. Only then did people know that when human beings made a fortune because of space mining, the virus carried by them also entered space, mutated and became the god of death, constantly harvesting human life.

It didn't take long for Earth to follow the riots, and all spaceships from space were forbidden to approach Earth, and could only put asteroid ore in space.

The only two planets in the solar system where humans live are in a panic, but the new Australia on Earth and Jiang Yiming on Mars are all safe. New Australia's biochemical robots are not infected with human viruses because of their physical fitness, and the latter is devoting themselves to cultivating ants that can eat three crops on Mars.

"Haha, the one hundred and eightieth experiment was successful, the Martian ants have successfully survived in the outside world for seventy-two hours, and the underground ant nests excavated can survive sandstorms!"

Jiang Yiming came out of the experiment, only to find that Mars had become lifeless, and he had often seen that the spacecraft had disappeared, and the connection between various cities had been cut off, and he only relied on this radio wave to communicate.

He soon learned why, a mutant virus that combined the advantages of multiple viruses was raging, causing thousands of casualties. The reason is because of the high concentration of radiation in space, which leads to the emergence of this mutant virus.

"It seems that the ancient creature of the virus will expand its sphere of influence with the development of human society, and even space is not a pure land." He sighed, but there is no good way to deal with the mutant virus that spreads between Earth and Mars.

Even if the healing technique works, it will not be able to envelop the distant space between Earth and Mars, and it is up to humans to find a way to find it themselves. However, he did not do nothing, and immediately flew to Martian New Delhi, intending to treat the patients who were still alive there. (To be continued.) )
