"Aina! Aina! What happened to you?! Not long after Zhou Xin and Spred sat down to chat, Ralph's panicked exclamation was heard in the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The two looked at each other in surprise, and then looked in the direction of the cry at the same time, and as the scene on Ralph's side came into view, Zhou Xin and Spred were also nervous.

Ralph, who was originally playing with Xiaobai, was gathering together in a panic at this time, and in their encirclement, Zhou Xin faintly saw that there seemed to be someone lying there. Although Zhou Xin couldn't see clearly who the person lying on the ground was from this angle, he guessed the identity of that person from the cries of others.

Not only Zhou Xin and Spred, but Ralph's cries attracted most people's attention, and when the others saw what was happening, many people rushed in Ralph's direction. However, before many people could gather, Christie, who was beside Ralph, had already calmed down, and she pulled out her communicator to make contact.

Seeing the scene that happened next to Ralph, Zhou Xin and Spred immediately got up and rushed over. Because the distance wasn't very far, the two of them had to get to Ralph faster than most of the others. Pushing aside the crowd gathered there, Zhou Xin squatted beside Ralph. In front of him, Aina was lying there quietly with her eyes closed.

At the first glance of Aina, Zhou Xin found that there was no painful look on her face, and her breathing was normal, as if she was asleep. But Zhou Xin knew that things might not be that simple, and after hearing that Christy was contacting Dr. Wren, he turned to Ralph and asked her what had happened.

After the initial panic, Ralph seemed to calm down a bit. She replied, "I don't know what's going on. At first, we had a good time playing with Xiaobai here, but later, Aina wanted to fly up the trunk of the tree to see Xiaobai's home in the tree. It was nothing, but just as I was about to fly up with Aina, she fainted without warning. Later, Uncle Captain, you came. After saying that, Ralph's words were also agreed by the people who had just been with her.

While Ralph was telling, Zhou Xin kept frowning and looking at the unconscious little girl. After listening to Ralph's words, Zhou Xin spoke: "No matter what, let's send her to the medical cabin first." Let Dr. Wren check to see if Aina is okay. As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Wren arrived with a medical robot.

Without bothering to greet Zhou Xin, Wren checked Aina lying on the ground as soon as he arrived. At the same time, everyone present also fell silent, and all eyes were on Rennes, who were eager to know the final test results.

After a few minutes, Wren appeared to finish his examination and stood up. Seeing the sad look on his face, Zhou Xin was shocked, thinking that the situation was not very good. So he hurriedly asked with concern, "How is Aina?" What's going on? ”

Wren didn't speak immediately, just shook his head silently. Seeing his actions, not only Zhou Xin, but many people present were also worried. After shaking his head, Wren replied slowly with a puzzled tone: "Strange, the preliminary examination results show that there is nothing wrong with this little girl, and it is impossible for her to suddenly fall into a coma according to her current physical condition." Then he thought for a while before he said to Zhou Xin, "I'm afraid I'm going to take her to the medical cabin and conduct a detailed examination of her body with large equipment to find out what happened to her." ”

Wren's conclusion made Zhou Xin's heart faintly worried, but he didn't show it on his face, but asked Wren to take Aina back to the medical cabin first.

As a result of such an accident, others also lost the mood to continue playing. After Aina was sent away, they began to leave the pod one by one. However, those who left did not notice that Zhou Xin was standing thoughtfully in place at this time, while his eyes were focused on the trunk of the giant tree.

"Do you think Aina's coma has anything to do with the tree?" After everyone was almost gone, Spred's whispered inquiry sounded in Zhou Xin's ears.

"What do you think?" Zhou Xin replied with a wry smile, "She was fine before she came, why did she happen to fall unconscious next to this tree?" And it's an unexplained coma. I don't believe that it has anything to do with this tree. ”

"But isn't everyone else with her all right?" Spred said.

"I'm confused about that too." Zhou Xin replied, "From the bottom of my heart, I also hope that this time is just a false alarm, and Aina just passed out here." After saying this, Zhou Xin showed a worried look on his face, "But it can't be ruled out that this accident was affected by the giant tree." If that's the case, I'm afraid those of us who have been around trees are in danger. As for Aina, it may be that certain conditions have been met, and the influence of the giant tree has been manifested earlier than we do. Sighing, he continued, "What the hell is going on, we have to wait for the results of Wren's examination." ”

Then, he commanded, "Voyager, go ahead and seal the second eco-module, and no one will be allowed to enter this time until the cause of Aina's coma is investigated." Then he silently glanced at Xiao Bai, who had quieted down after Aina's coma, "Even Xiao Bai is no exception. After a moment's thought, he turned his head to Spred, then continued, "Also, have the ship's surveillance equipment keep a close eye on those who have been in close contact with the giant tree, and report any anomalies if they are discovered." ”

"Understood."

"Alright, Atlas. Come out, I know you're listening. After finishing speaking, Zhou Xin inexplicably came up with a sentence.

"Brother Captain." Atlas's aggrieved voice came out, "It's all to blame, if people can figure out what happened to that tree, it won't be what it is now." ”

"It's not your fault. After all, I haven't noticed anything wrong with the giant tree for so long, and I'm a little careless. Zhou Xin's comfort also carried some self-blame, "I shouldn't have brought them here." ”

"Okay, haven't we found the real cause yet, wait until it's determined that it has something to do with this tree." Spred advised, "We can always find a solution." The immediate priority now is to get out of here as soon as possible, lest the two of us continue to be affected by the possible presence of the giant tree. ”

At this time, Zhou Xin realized that he was still standing in front of the giant tree, and without Spred's reminder again, the two of them walked out of the No. 2 ecological cabin.

For the rest of the day, Zhou Xin spent the rest of the day in self-blame. After all, if Aina's coma really had something to do with the giant tree, then all the terrible consequences that would happen next would be her own responsibility. Whether it was the earliest order to keep the giant tree, or the fact that they were allowed to contact the giant tree today, it was a decision made by themselves.

And just like that, the time came for the night of Aina's coma. However, at this moment, Zhou Xin, who was still in a state of self-blame, did not feel sleepy at all, and he could only use his busy work to divert his attention at this time.

At this moment, a request for communication in the ship suddenly sounded in the quiet command cabin. Without waiting for others to react, Zhou Xin, who was busy but still focused on the communicator, pressed the call button as soon as possible. Then, Wren's figure appeared on the screen, and it seemed that he had been busy until now, not only with a tired look on his face, but also with his eyes looking a little red.

However, he didn't care about Rennes' current state. As soon as the communication was connected, Zhou Xin asked a series of questions, "How is Aina's situation now?" What exactly caused her coma? Does it have anything to do with the giant tree? ”

"Giant trees?" Zhou Xin's first two questions were normal, but the last question made Wren a little confused, and he subconsciously asked, "What does this have to do with the giant tree?" ”

Hearing his rhetorical question, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Listening to his tone, it was clear that Aina's coma had nothing to do with the giant tree. Waving his hand at Wren on the screen, Zhou Xin disguised: "Don't worry about the last question, I just thought about it, you just need to tell Aina about her current situation." ”

Next, Wren's answer made Zhou Xincai's newly relaxed mood solemn again, "I'm afraid the problem is a bit serious, after a detailed examination, I found that Aina's coma was caused by being in a state of weightlessness for a long time. ”

"Weightless?"

"That's right, weightlessness." "Being in weightlessness for a long time can affect all the functions of the body. Over time, the effects can get worse and worse until they cause harm to the body. That little girl is a good example, and I have examined it, and her organs have degenerated very significantly in weightlessness, and her muscles have atrophied a lot. According to Ralph's account of Aina's behavior before she fell into a coma, I think it was the force of her feet before the jump that caused the lack of blood supply to the brain, which in turn led to the sudden coma. Of course, this is unlikely to happen if she is in good health. ”

"In other words, other people's bodies now have similar hidden dangers?" In Wren's explanation, Zhou Xin heard some unspoken meanings. His brow furrowed, and he asked in a worried tone.

"I'm afraid - that's true." Wren's tone also became heavy, "Although Aina's coma is just a sudden incident, this is undoubtedly a wake-up call, I'm afraid we need to do a physical examination of all the crew members on the Voyager." ”

For this request, it is impossible for Zhou Xin to refuse. So, over the next week, all the members of the Voyager, including Zhou Xin, underwent a physical examination. Although after listening to Wren's words, Zhou Xin had already made some mental preparations, but the final examination results were still beyond his imagination.

"Everyone, including you and me, has all the abnormal symptoms related to weightlessness." Wren's tone was a little heavy, "It's just a matter of varying degrees." Among them, the physical condition of the members of the community is the most serious. ”

"How so?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Aren't they the last people to get on the boat?" ”

"It's not just about the time you get on the boat, it's also about the physiology." Wren replied, "The metabolism of the members of the community is simply too fast, and any influence from the outside world will quickly manifest itself in their bodies. The rest of the people on the ship would be in better shape in comparison, but after all, we stayed in weightlessness for longer, so it wasn't much better. ”

"No, I remember that there was a gravity-simulating device on the ship? How could this still be the case? Spred asked.

"Those devices aren't enough." Wren shook his head, "Everyone can only exercise on it for a period of time every day, and at most it can only delay the appearance of weightlessness symptoms, and it cannot completely avoid it." ”

Nodding, Zhou Xin said helplessly: "I know this, I originally planned to take turns to put everyone on the ship on Songxing to adjust, but the situation on the planet does not allow us to do this." Later, I was busy and ignored this matter, but I didn't expect it to develop into such a serious situation now. ”

"That's not right." At this time, Spred suddenly remembered something, and he turned to Dart and asked, "Didn't you have been in weightlessness for a long time before, how did you solve this problem back then?" Hearing Spred's question, Zhou Xin also looked at Dart with a puzzled look.

"There was artificial gravity on the Great West Continent back then." Knowing that Dart didn't know what was going on, Atlas replied, "But it only relies on the pseudogravity simulated by centrifugal force, and there is no way to use it on the Voyager." And, even so, the Atlanteans of the day still needed to land on a normal planet from time to time to experience true gravity. ”

Hearing this answer, everyone present showed disappointed expressions. Frustrated, Spred continued, "Doesn't that mean that the only way to solve the situation we are facing now is to find a planet to dock?" ”

"I can't think of anything else but that." After a few seconds, Atlas replied.

"The closest star system to Voyager should be the one we're heading to." Hearing Atlas's answer, Zhou Xin immediately called up the star map, "But even if we rush over as quickly as possible now, it will take nearly two and a half months......
