Chapter Ninety-Three: Experiments and New Actions
With that, the little girl walked towards the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Next, Zhou Xin didn't want to watch the specific experimental process at all, and it can be said that he was not in the mood to watch it, so he closed the picture in the sterile room, and then sighed deeply.
"I didn't expect that one of the parents that the sister and brother were searching for was actually close in front of them, which is really a coincidence."
"Indeed." With a strange look, Spred shrugged his shoulders, "Who would have thought that the survivors of two escape pods found from completely different places would have such a relationship." As he spoke, he sighed like Zhou Xin, "However, what I didn't expect was that after waiting for so long, they would actually meet in this situation, I hope that their father and daughter will be safe and sound in the future." ”
"This-" The look on Zhou Xin's face looked a little worried, he was actually not optimistic that Aina's father would survive, and even he was worried about the little girl who participated in the drug experiment. After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xin decided that it was better not to say it. Next, he contacted Blue and Christy and explained Aina's whereabouts to the two of them. Of course, he didn't want the two of them to worry, so he just made up a reason that something needed Aina's help. And when Zhou Xin contacted them, the two of them were still in the virtual reality system, and it sounded like the two of them were still having a good time in it, so after hearing Zhou Xin's explanation, these two people didn't care too much about the little girl's whereabouts, and just said that they knew. After ending the call with the two, although Zhou Xin's heart was still very worried, he still put the matter aside for the time being and turned his attention to the contact that Atlas had said before.
"Brother Captain, the signal of the probe has been sent out for almost half an hour, but the base on the satellite has not reacted to the signal." Seeing Zhou Xin ask about this, Atlas opened his mouth to reply.
"No response?" Zhou Xin felt a little strange, "No, don't they want to send someone to investigate the situation?" ”
"Maybe it's not what you think, brother captain." Atlas explained, "In order to prevent anomalies from being detected by the bases of the other two civilizations on the planet and on the satellite, the distress signal was transmitted in a small area. And the base under the satellite is not facing the direction of the space city at this time, but on the back. Maybe it's because the rock layer of this satellite is too thick, so the signal is blocked. After waiting for the satellite to turn half a circle, they will let the probe send a signal again. ”
"Well, just do as you say." After listening to the little girl's explanation, Zhou Xin nodded, and then he continued to explain, "By the way, let the probe investigate the outer space buildings, I would like to know what the situation is in those places." ”
"That's fine." "But with the number of probes in the vicinity now, it's probably going to take a lot of time to survey the entire space city." ”
"Then send some more probes over." Zhou Xinli also understood that it had already taken two days to investigate only the eight buildings in the center, not to mention the hundreds of buildings on the periphery.
After instructing this, in the next half day, nothing unexpected happened, and the time came smoothly to the evening of the same day. Although nothing happened, Zhou Xin had been worried about Aina's situation all afternoon, so he seemed a little restless throughout the afternoon. Therefore, as soon as the day ended, Zhou Xin contacted Rennes.
"How's Aina?" As soon as the picture on the screen appeared, Zhou Xin saw the little girl lying on the hospital bed behind Rayne, and he didn't care about greetings, he asked directly.
"The situation is still manageable." Wren replied, "I tried five normal anti-infective drugs on her in the afternoon, two of which I had tried on the seriously injured alien before, and they didn't cause any abnormal reactions in the body, but they didn't have any therapeutic effect. When experimenting with the other three drugs that had not been used before, Aina felt obvious discomfort symptoms, ranging from a few pox-like objects near the injection site to dizziness and vomiting in severe cases. As he spoke, he pointed behind him, "The serious one happened just ten minutes ago, just before the call, she just finished throwing up, and now her head is still a little groggy." ”
Zhou Xin looked at Aina worriedly, "When will she be able to recover." ”
"The dose used in the drug experiment is not large, and it won't be long before she will be fine, and today's experiment is over." Wren's answer put Zhou Xin at ease, but the next sentence was not so reassuring, "But what I tried today are some drugs with average effects, and tomorrow's experiment will be more important, and those drugs with better efficacy will be experimented." ”
"Is there any danger?" Zhou Xin asked with concern.
Wren shook his head, "It's hard to say, it may not happen at all, or it may have very serious consequences, it doesn't have much to do with the efficacy of the drug." ”
"Please take care of Aina." Zhou Xin said earnestly, "I don't want her to survive the accident and lose her life here." ”
"I don't want anything to happen to her." Wren had a bitter face, "I can only say that I try my best to take care of her, but you have to understand that not everything can be controlled." ”
"I understand." Zhou Nobunaga sighed, he didn't have any good way to choose Aina, and then he had to ask, "How is the situation of the seriously injured alien now?" ”
Shaking his head, Wren replied, "It's not good, the scope of the infection spreads quickly, if you can't think of a way, I'm afraid you won't live for a few days." ”
"Well, how could it suddenly deteriorate so quickly." Zhou Xin muttered to himself in confusion, and suddenly he remembered Atlas, so he asked directly, "Atlas, do you know what the reason is?" Do you have similar information in your database? ”
"People have to check it before they can get the results." Atlas replied.
"Then let's go check it out first." Zhou Xin nodded, and then he continued to ask, "It's been half a day, has the base on the satellite responded to the distress signal sent by the probe?" ”
"It's not time for the second signal yet." The little girl replied, "It will be about half an hour before the satellite will be able to turn to its intended position." ”
"Okay, then wait."
Half an hour later, Atlas controlled the probe to launch a second distress signal towards the satellite base already facing Space City. At first, the base still did not respond to any distress signals, and the camera footage of the detector parked at the entrance to the base was still the locked gate. After four or five minutes of this, the probe suddenly received a message from the direction of the base. The message was very short, just a few words, "Hold on, rescue will be on the way." "Just send it once, and the detector's receiving channel is silent. No matter how much the probe tried to contact the source, nothing worked, and no one responded to the probe's contact information. At the same time, the gate to the base that appears in the frame is still closed, and no action has been done inside.
"Is the direction of the signal source determined to come from the base on the satellite?" Zhou Xin confirmed uneasily.
The little girl on the screen shook her head, "I can only confirm that the signal is indeed transmitted from that satellite, but the specific location is not very clear, because the information they transmit is too short, so people don't have time to locate it." It could also be a signal emitted from one of the bases on the planet's surface. After a pause, she added, "No, judging from the content of the information, it is already possible to exclude the base built on the Northern Continent. ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "And judging from the content of the message, the person who sent the message should be able to take action immediately, and we should be able to know who it is at that time." ”
"That's it."
In view of the fact that the information said that the rescue would be ruled out immediately, although it was already late, Zhou Xin chose to stay in the command module and continue to wait, he desperately wanted to know which party responded to the signal of the detector. However, half an hour passed, and nothing was happening on the satellite. With the exception of the entire satellite, which is still operating quietly, there is no sign of a spacecraft launch at the three bases, including the underground one. Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin couldn't hold back his sleepiness anymore, so he had to rest.
The next day, Zhou Xin arrived at the command module early, and then asked Atlas directly if anything had happened after he went to rest.
"Just around three o'clock in the morning, the gates of the underground base opened, and three ships flew out of it." Atlas replied, "Researchers have been sent to follow the three ships, and they have discovered that they are flying in the direction of Space City." In other words, there is a high probability that the message received by the probe yesterday was sent from the underground base. At the same time, taking advantage of the opening of the base gate, the probe that originally stayed at the gate of the base had already slipped into the base. ”
"Well done." Zhou Xin complimented, and then he asked, "What is it like inside the base?" ”
"I don't know yet." The little girl shook her head, "After the base gate was closed, our communication with the probes entering the base was lost. It seems that the gate of the base also has the function of isolating the signal, and if you want to know the situation inside the base, I am afraid that you will have to wait for the next time the gate of the base is opened. ”
"Okay." Zhou Xin's tone was a little worried, "I hope those detectors that sneaked in won't be discovered by others." ”
"Brother Captain, don't worry, the last instruction left for the probe before the gate is closed is to try to collect information in the base while ensuring that you are hidden."
After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin was relieved, and then he focused his attention on the three spaceships that the little girl mentioned before, "Where have those three spaceships been now?" ”
"It's still far away." Atlas replied, "It's going to be at least half a day before they can get to the vicinity of Space City, and it seems that in order to prevent others from discovering their whereabouts, the ships are still circling around with probes, and it will take more time to get there." ”
"Okay." Zhou Xin also knew something about these third force spaceships, and Zhou Xin was not surprised at all by their current flight state. Just as he was about to tell the little girl to keep an eye on the three ships, the voices of the Voyager and Atlas rang out almost simultaneously.
"Your Excellency, the probe has discovered a new situation on the planet's surface." "Brother Captain, the two civilizations on the surface of the planet are starting to act."
After hurriedly explaining Atlas, Zhou Xin asked, "What happened?" What happened on the surface of the planet? ”
"The two civilizations have once again assembled their fleets." The Voyager replied briefly, switching to the planet's surface as the screen shifted.
In the past few days, the two civilizations on the surface of the planet have been relatively peaceful. Aircraft from both sides only routinely patrolled their areas of control, and little else happened. Only yesterday, when Voyager suddenly reported an increase in friction between the two sides near the equator, Zhou Xin speculated that preparations for the next war had been completed. However, I did not expect that only one day later, the two sides began a large-scale operation.
On the screen, Zhou Xin saw that the two sides in the picture seemed to have just started to act, most of the warships were scattered in each place of the two continents, and at most he could only see a small force of a dozen warships, and from time to time he could see one or two warships rising from the ground into space. In contrast, the warships that had already reached the predetermined altitude all seemed to be flying towards the same position, as if they were already massing.
Unlike the last time, this time the two sides did not choose to gather troops near the equator, and their ships were heading on the edge of the continent closest to the location of the other continent. At the same time as the assembly, the unmanned aerial vehicles of both sides had already begun to fight near the equator, and at the same time, there were also aircraft that were constantly rushing towards the equator from their respective patrol routes, and it seemed that the battle was already a bit fierce.
However, Zhou Xin did not care about the battle near the equator, but focused his attention on the battleships that were being assembled. After a rough count, he found that the number of warships on both sides so far had been much more than in the previous battle, and it was estimated that the total might be around five hundred, Zhou Xin couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Seeing this, a sentence suddenly came out of Dart's mouth, "It seems that the previous battle was just a preliminary test between the two sides......
