Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Storm
"How dangerous it would be if I stayed here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Spred asked Zhou Xin, who was hesitant.
"The radiation intensity in the space around the spacecraft is now at least twice as strong as it was two hours ago. Although the Voyager itself can hold out for a while by relying on its own defenses, I am afraid it will not last long. Atlas replied, "The bigger problem is the surface of the Green Star, and now the radiation intensity measured by the probe near the surface is slightly beyond the limit of what the human body can bear, and if the survivors found continue to remain on the planet, I am afraid that they will be harmed." Moreover, the increase in radiation intensity will also greatly reduce the chances of survival of the remaining survivors who have not yet been found. Even if I can find them, I'm afraidβ"
"In that case, let's let the rescue ships with the survivors come back first." Time waits for no one, so after more than a minute of thinking, Zhou Xin made a decision, "Those rescue ships that have not found survivors will still stay on the Green Star to continue the search for survivors." Sighing, he continued, "Find a way to get everyone back, even if it's just a corpse." β
"Understood."
The survivors were soon back aboard the Voyager in a rescue ship. When the survivors finally set foot on the Voyager, all of them wept with joy. Then, after a series of anti-epidemic and radiation-free measures, the survivors were finally able to reunite with their loved ones on the ship.
At the same time, in addition to these surviving crews, a large box half a person high was removed from each rescue ship. The large boxes were rushed to the medical chamber after undergoing the same anti-epidemic and radiation-neutralizing measures as the survivors.
That's right, in each of the boxes lay several green elves found by probes during the search, and all of them were in a coma when they were found. Because the treatment process for the green elves has not yet been worked out, and the medical equipment on the rescue ship that temporarily departed is not sufficient, the probes have to temporarily put the found green elves in an incubator.
Then, after receiving the smallest group of patients to date in the medical cabin, Dr. Wren had a brief conversation with Zhou Xin.
"After a preliminary scan, it can be determined that most of the green elves are unconscious due to intense radiation beyond their body's capacity." Wren said to Zhou Xin, "Their size is too small, so their ability to withstand radiation is far less than ours, and any slight radiation will have a very obvious impact on their bodies." β
"Is there a cure?" Zhou Xin asked with a frown.
"As you know, we haven't been meeting the Green Elves for a long time, and most of them are recuperating some time ago, so the research on them has not been carried out for a long time." Wren explained with some embarrassment, "So there is no way to formulate a targeted treatment according to their physical condition for the time being. But because their condition is now very serious and they have to be treated immediately, I can only treat the Green Elves in the same way that they treat other races now, and then adjust the plan in the actual treatment process. After explaining, he added, "In addition, the green elves' petite size makes it impossible for most of our existing medical equipment to be used directly on them, which also greatly increases the difficulty of our treatment. β
"How sure are you that we can save them?" Zhou Xin asked.
Shaking his head, Wren replied, "I don't know, this treatment is arguably the most unsure I've ever had." I don't even know if the next treatment will be used on them to save them or harm them, all of which is uncertain. β
"Even so, the treatment is definitely going to take place." Zhou Xin said, "There is still a glimmer of hope for the green elves if they do this, but if they give up the treatment, then they have no hope at all." Then he comforted, "Don't be afraid, even if you fail in the end, I know that you have done your best." β
"I understand." Wren nodded, "Even if you didn't say that, I would do it." If nothing else, then I'm going to start trying to treat the green elves. With that, he ended the conversation.
Half an hour after the end of this communication, the search on the Green Star was also nearing its end. The rescue ships that were still on the Green Star began to retreat one by one, not because they had already found all their crews, but because of a huge storm on the horizon.
That's right, it's visible from the perspective of the detector that is still on the ground. A long cloud of smoke is rolling across the sky at great speed towards the location of the probe. In just a few minutes, it had already obscured almost half of the sky. As it progressed, the storm swept through like a behemoth, mercilessly devouring anything on the ground. If you look closely, you can even see trees and boulders flying up and down in the smoke and dust that are being carried up and down by the violent storm. In the middle of the storm, a large amount of lightning can be seen raging, giving the impression of an apocalyptic scene. At this moment, Zhou Xin, who saw this scene in the command cabin, all showed stunned expressions without exception.
At the same time, Atlas's voice rang out, "According to the data sent back by the probe, the height of this dust roll is now more than 50 kilometers, and the speed of advance is more than 100 meters per second. According to estimates, it will continue to move at this rate until it collides with the same storm that has formed on the other side of the planet. β
"It's hard to imagine that the impact of the explosion alone could be so huge." At this time, Zhou Xin had come back to his senses, and he said with an emotional tone.
As soon as he spoke, the storm had already arrived in front of the probe. Just touching the periphery of the storm, the probe was blown up very easily. After just a few seconds, there is only a gray world left on the screen. Then, after holding out in the storm for nearly half a minute, the probe completely lost contact with Voyager......
