Chapter 14 Headshots
Like a worn-out off-line kite, the Liberty-11 integrated fighter is completely unbalanced, falling diagonally with billowing smoke.
It should be said that the plane was not directly blown into pieces in the air, but was only hit by a missile at the tail elevator, which is already a great luck in misfortune, and it also benefits from the advanced explosion-proof performance of the fuselage.
The aftermath of the missile explosion made the next few people not know whether they were alive or dead, and even the front shadow in the cockpit was injured, but fortunately, they did not lose consciousness, nor did they panic and were overwhelmed, endured the pain and the dizziness caused by the whirlwind of the fuselage, and quickly checked the modules that the fighter could still work on.
There are still 1.2 kilometers from the ground, and the screen in the cab shows.
There are also 1.1 km away.
The aircraft turbofan engine is still working again, and the flanks are generally intact.
There are still 900 meters, and the falling speed is too fast, and the acceleration must be stopped.
Another 600 meters!
It was at this time that the aircraft engine suddenly restarted and burst into operation, roaring and roaring, generating a strong thrust, allowing the aircraft to accelerate forward and taxi, so that the instantaneous direction of the aircraft's progress and the angle between the ground plane were reduced, instead of hitting the ground at a large angle.
There was a jungle in front of it, and the fuselage passed through the dense branches, and the iron sheet and the branches made a screeching sound, not only how many branches were broken, but the wings were completely broken, and the tires of the plane seemed to be malfunctioning, stuck and unable to stretch out, until a large pit was dug deep under the head of the plane, and then stopped.
The interior of the fuselage was in shambles, the capsule was twisted and broken, the electrical circuits were all broken, and there were still some flames and smoke on the edges of some damaged parts, and the blade unbuckled his seat belt and struggled to get up from the driver's seat, despite the blood stains on his face.
Captain Kevin was the second to get up, after all, he was a super soldier's physique, and his recovery was amazing, and although he was injured, it did not affect his actions.
Caitlyn passed out unconscious, but was fortunate enough to be knocked into a corner, with a nearby seat as cover, and was not severely traumatized during the subsequent tumbling and impact.
"Are you alright, Caitlyn?" Kevin held up her head and arms, trying to sober her up.
"Uh~hiss~", Caitlyn woke up from a coma in a daze, her waist, shoulders, and face were traumatized, and the pain came, rubbing her ears that were shocked by the ringing ears, making sure that Kevin was asking her, and replied blankly with squinted eyes: "I can still hold on, what about the others?" ”
"Ning Fei!"
Kevin turned around and heard Feng Ying shouting in a hurry, so he quickly pulled Caitlin up and walked over quickly.
"He's not quite right."
Ning Fei was lying on the ground face down, his body was densely wounded, his whole body was slightly spasmed, his clothes were torn, his right arm seemed to be broken, there was a burn on his left back, there was blood stained on the back of his head, his left hand seemed to be burned by a hot object, and there was an intact space crystal near his left hand, which seemed to be still hot.
Feng Ying gently kicked the space crystal and other parts of the plane to make a little space, and together with Kevin, he carefully turned Ning Fei over and lay flat on the ground.
Ning Fei closed his eyes tightly, his eyeballs fluttered, his consciousness was scattered, there was no contusion on his face, only an unusual circular slight wound visible to the naked eye at the upper right of the center of his forehead and eyebrows, an extremely regular circle, about less than 2 mm in diameter, the wound was too small and the blood was no longer flowing, if you carefully observed the back of Ning Fei's head, in fact, there was also a slight circular wound, which was obviously not caused by the impact.
"Ning Fei? Ning Fei?! Caitlin also walked over with her support for the bulkhead, confirmed that Ning Fei's heartbeat was normal, opened Ning Fei's eyelid examination, and looked at the round hole-like wound on her forehead suspiciously, and said worriedly: "It's still alive, but it's not optimistic, I don't know what's going on, take a look, is the medical kit still there?" ”
Kevin rummaged through the portable military medical box originally placed on the wreckage of Liberty-11, although the medical box was seriously broken and deformed, fortunately it was not directly burned, Kevin unscrewed the lock and took out a small black box from the second layer of the medical box, and saw that the contents of the small black box were relatively well preserved, Kevin was happy.
Kevin quickly handed the open box to Caitlin, two small colorless glass bottles, and a syringe, "Thank God, the dormant hormone is still there." ”
Caitlin took the syringe of the syringe, took out two pills from the small glass bottle, the needle tube went up, squeezed out the excess air, easily found the vein on the arm, pierced the needle, and slowly pushed the medicine into Ning Fei's blood vessels.
After a while, Ning Fei's body no longer spasmed, his breathing and heartbeat became extremely slow, the expression on his face became calm and soothing, the slowdown of blood circulation caused the temperature of his skin to drop, and the entire life circulation system seemed to have entered a state of animal hibernation. This drug called dormancy hormone is the principle of animal dormancy studied by alliance scientists, and the synthesized hormone substance was originally for the purpose of astronauts to hibernate the human body during interstellar voyages without aging, and it does not have any therapeutic effect itself, but it has been found that it has a miraculous application in the treatment of the wounded on the front line of the battle, which can suspend injuries and buy time for the seriously injured and dying, and time is life.
Kevin and the others placed the temporarily dormant Ning Fei nearby, put Fengying and Caitlin on guard, put away the space crystal, and called the wireless communicator to one end: "Colonel Barton, we need medical help." ”
......
Virginia, one of the largest military bases in the Alliance, is an exclusive hospital for the Union Army.
"Tick"
"Tick"
"Tick"
...... The voice sounded synchronously with the electrocardiogram on the screen, this is a special ward, there is no bed like in an ordinary hospital bed, but a transparent rectangular sterile cabin placed horizontally on the countertop in the center of the room, in the sterile cabin lies a man in a dormant state, whose wrists, arms, thighs, and ankles are fixed, and his body is connected to medical equipment to monitor the state of life, and the whole head is put on a silver metal helmet, the helmet is connected to two hoses, only the face is exposed, and the oxygen mask is worn on the mouth and nose, This person is none other than Ning Fei.
A young woman in a white uniform, standing in front of the head of the sterile cabin, there is an instrument in front of her, it is through a hose connected to the metal helmet, the instrument shows the three-dimensional structure of Ning Fei's brain, there is a straight line of scars in the brain tissue, the front side in and the back side out, it is hard to imagine that such an injury can still be alive, it is incredible.
The young woman started a program, the machine buzzed quietly, and a percentage of progress data appeared from the left side of the screen, which can be seen on the simulated image of the three-dimensional structure of the brain, there is some liquid flowing substance injected from the wound at one end of the brain, and after entering the brain, it disperses on its own in the tissue near the scar, and then there are other liquid-like substances that magically gather and drill out from the other end of the head wound.
"Knock Knock"
"Please come in", the young woman looked at the screen and said without looking back.
Barton, who was still wearing sunglasses, opened the door and came in, looked at Ning Fei lying in the sterile cabin, walked up to the young woman who was working, and asked, "Dr. Crescent, how is he now?" ”
The young woman, known as Dr. Crescent, did not immediately answer Barton's question, but stared intently at the screen until the on-screen percentage progress data was displayed as "injection complete", and after carefully reviewing the other physical data, she looked up and said to Barton, "The whole head was shot with a ray, a straight hole, from the forehead to the back of the head." ”
Barton looked at the thrilling scar on the three-dimensional simulation of his brain, subtle and absolutely straight, and muttered, "What kind of weapon is this......?"
"High-energy particle beams, similar to those approaching the speed of light, have been working on research projects in high-energy physics in the lab, but almost no one has been injured in this way, except for ....... Well, it's a miracle. ”
Dr. Crescent Moon walked to the head of the sterile cabin, habitually took off the pen on his jacket pocket, pointed to the metal helmet on Ning Fei's head, and said with flying eyebrows: "This miracle is entirely thanks to nanorobot technology, with cell stimulation and division technology, analyzing the tissue structure of the human body, compiling the repair plan into instructions, to command different types of nanorobot groups to work in an orderly manner, to help the human body repair its own tissues, even the most complex neurons, the current reduction rate is as high as 95%, this research project that costs 600 million, It's just the beginning of its game, and the future is promising, and the short-sighted guys in the Coalition Council will only complain about the funding problem, and they don't want to think about the huge amount of resources they have invested in genetic enhancement and high-energy physics, which is only a drop in the bucket. ”
Dr. Crescent is one of Albert Labs' brightest young scientist and one of the founders of Quantum.
When Barton heard this, he suddenly asked, "The reduction rate reaches 95%, but what about the remaining 5%?" ”
"This technology is not yet mature, it needs more money and time investment, to improve the reduction rate of human tissue repair, we need to invest another 600 million funds, the more the merrier, it will be higher", Dr. Crescent said.
Barton understood, and he could understand the coalition councillors' concerns about funding.
