Chapter 12: The Mortally Wounded Atlanteans
"Wait. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Seeing that the Atlantean man's head tilted, Zhou Xin suddenly remembered something, and he cried out excitedly.
"Slowly lower your seat, slowly." Zhou Xin nervously ordered.
Spred and the others hadn't reacted to what was going on, seeing that Zhou Xin suddenly became excited, Spred asked curiously, "Why are you so excited all of a sudden?" What did you find? ā
Zhou Xin took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down, then he pointed to the Atlanteans on the screen and said to Spred with a trembling tone: "Haven't you noticed yet, this Atlantean is still alive!" ā
Hearing this shocking news, Spred also became excited, "What?!" You say this Atlantis is still alive?! How do you know. ā
"Did you see his head crooked when the helmet of the suit hit the ceiling just now?" Zhou Xin reminded.
Under Zhou Xin's prompting, Spred also reacted, and immediately he became excited, seeing that there were still a few researchers around him who were puzzled, he explained: "In the surface environment of this planet, if it is a corpse, then he will be so soft?" I'm afraid it's been hard for a long time. ā
While Spred explained, Zhou Xin hurriedly ordered the robot to carefully remove the Atlantean from the platform. However, because the hole was too small for the robot to bring a person out, Zhou Xin had to order the combat robot to remove all the ceilings of the cockpit, and then lift the Atlantean out of the seat from the top.
Since he only knew that the Atlanteans inside might be alive, but he didn't know the specific condition of his body, Zhou Xin seemed a little anxious after being excited. At the same time, judging from the current situation, it has been more than two hours since this Atlantean was directly exposed to the surface of the planet in a protective suit, and Zhou Xin didn't know how long the function of the protective suit would last, so he was anxious to transport this Atlantean back to the Voyager. But when he thought that he would now have to transport this Atlantean back to the planet's surface along the temporary road on the ice wall, Zhou Xin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's too slow to go up the ice wall like this." Zhou Xin said worriedly, "I don't know if the protective clothing can support it for so long, and I don't know if the top few naturally formed ice rocks can support the weight of two people, what should I do." ā
"Has the engineering robot arrived?" Spred reminded.
"It is expected to arrive at the crash site within five minutes." The Voyager reported a welcome message.
"Is there a rope on the ship?" Zhou Xin asked the question he was most concerned about, and after receiving an affirmative answer from the Voyager, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let the robot put the rope down, and we'll send the Atlanteans straight up." Zhou Xin instructed, "Then ship it back directly." ā
After he finished his order, the rest was only a matter of time, Zhou Xin looked at the busy robot on the screen, and he couldn't help but worry about the situation of the Atlantean.
"I don't know what happened to this Atlantean." Zhou Xin said to himself worriedly, "If you fall from such a high ice wall, the injury should be very serious." Thinking of this, he turned on the communicator, "Is it Wren, there will be an injured Atlantean who will be transported over, the extent of the injury is unknown, please be prepared for first aid." After receiving Rennes' confirmation, Zhou Xin ended the communication.
After turning off the communication, Zhou Xin refocused his gaze on the screen. On the screen, he saw that the Atlantean had been successfully tied to the rope with the seat attached, and now the engineering robot above was slowly retracting the rope, and the Atlantean was hanging from the end of the rope and shaking slightly, and then slowly ascended along the ice wall.
Ten minutes later, the Atlantean managed to return to the ground. Then, the engineering robot transported him back to the spaceship without stopping. Then the spaceship took off directly from the planet, but fortunately, even if it was an engineering ship, some of the cabins on the ship had an ecological environment, so Zhou Xin and they didn't need to worry about the failure of the Atlanteans' protective suits now.
During the process of transporting the Atlanteans back to the Voyager, Zhou Xin also took the time to look at the Atlantean who was locked in the room, and found that she was still as vigilant as before. In desperation, Zhou Xin had no choice but to tell Ralph at the door about the discovery of another Atlantean, and then returned to the command cabin.
More than two hours later, the engineering ship returned to the Voyager, and Zhou Xin hurriedly asked the Voyager to activate the emergency procedures on the ship, and directly sent the Atlanteans on the engineering ship to the medical cabin. So, after a simple sterilization procedure, the Atlantean was sent to the medical chamber within minutes.
When he received that the Atlanteans had arrived in the medical cabin, Zhou Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then stopped the emergency procedure and left the command module and walked briskly towards the medical module.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the medical cabin, Zhou Xin heard the sound of busyness inside, mixed with different warning sounds, Zhou Xin could vaguely hear sounds such as "not in good condition", "weak breathing", "seriously injured" and so on. Hearing these voices, Zhou Xin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again, and he stepped into the medical cabin.
As soon as he entered the medical cabin, Zhou Xin saw that Ren was busy next to the hospital bed. Behind him, there are also several medical robots walking around with some instruments and medicines. From time to time, they walked up to the nearby device and reported the data on the instrument, and a medical robot was injecting medicine into the Atlantean man's body. And Dr. Wren was directing the medical robot, he picked up a device from time to time to check it, and after the inspection, he explained something to the medical robot next to him, and the robot quickly left to carry out his order after listening to Wren's words.
Seeing that Wren was constantly commanding the medical robots around him, Zhou Xin didn't want to disturb him. So, Zhou Xin moved a little closer to the hospital bed, wanting to see the condition of the Atlantean.
Zhou Xin saw that the Atlantean man's body was covered with all kinds of instruments and equipment, and even his face was covered with a mask, and there were two or three pipes connected to the cover. There were also some portable devices on the edge of the hospital bed, Zhou Xin took a look at the data displayed on the instrument, and found that the Atlantean man didn't seem to be in a good state, because some of the equipment was emitting red light, and these devices were constantly emitting alarms.
At this time, Zhou Xin saw that Wren's busy movements stopped temporarily, and there was no medical robot next to him to accept orders, Zhou Xin hurriedly asked, "How is his current situation?" ā
Hearing Zhou Xin's voice, Wren found out about his arrival, he raised his head, frowned and replied, "I can only say that it is a miracle that she is still alive now. ā
"What? Is the situation bad? ā
"It's not just bad." Wren smiled bitterly, "I've been a doctor for so many years, and I've never seen such a serious injury. More than 80% of the bones in this Atlantean were broken, and her internal organs were injured in varying degrees of severity, but fortunately, the suit protected her brain well, and there was nothing wrong with her head except for minor bruises, which was simply amazing. ā
After listening to Wren's introduction, Zhou Xin suddenly became nervous, "So serious?!" Will he survive? Could you please at least save his life? This is an important clue. ā
"I'll do my best." Wren replied uncertainly, "Her current situation is really too bad, and now she is just barely hanging her life by various instruments." It's imperative that I think of a way to save her life first, and then I think about other issues. ā
"Then it's up to you." Zhou Xin asked, "Then I won't bother you here to rescue, please tell me as soon as possible if there is any situation." ā
At this time, Wren couldn't bother to answer, because several more medical robots came over to report a new situation to him, and the situation didn't seem to be good, and Wren listened to the robot's report and started to do it himself. Seeing that it was not good to disturb Ren's rescue, Zhou Xin had no choice but to leave the medical cabin.
Back in the command cabin, Zhou Xin introduced the situation of the injured Atlanteans to Spred, and after listening to Zhou Xin's introduction, Spred and they were all a little surprised.
"Judging from the video, the Atlantean was not so badly injured." Spred frowned a little, "If it's so serious, it will be troublesome, it will take a lot of time to cure, and I don't know if there will be any sequelae after being cured." ā
"yes." Zhou Xin replied with a sad face, "Why do I think we are a little unlucky, although we found two Atlanteans, one is so hostile to us, and the other is unconscious. After saying that, he sighed, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't ordered the pursuit, this wouldn't have happened." ā
"Okay, don't blame yourself like that all the time." Spred comforted, "No one wants this, since it's already happened, let's think about what to do next." Then he asked, "By the way, is the Atlantean who was locked in the room still like that?" Still won't talk to us? ā
"It's not the same as before." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "I refused to approach anyone except Ralph when he could approach her, and I didn't have any communication with Ralph." ā
"Is there no way?" Spred asked, "If the misunderstanding is not resolved, then our next communication with the Atlanteans will be seriously affected." ā
"I'm trying to figure it out, too." Zhou Xin said, "But she herself now refuses our initiative to communicate, how can we solve this misunderstanding without communication." ā
Spred also sighed, "Isn't there a turning point?" ā
"That's right." Zhou Xin suddenly thought of a clue, "For the Atlantean who just appeared, have you tracked the traces of his platform on the planet?" Any idea how this platform came about? ā
"Tracked, but no clues." Spred replied with a grim face, "We traced the trail of that platform in reverse, but the probe mysteriously disappeared after searching the trail in reverse for some distance. It seems that the Atlantean has hidden his tracks, and the detector has searched for a long time near the point where the trace vanished, but found no other clues. ā
"Well, even this clue is broken." As soon as Zhou Xin finished saying this, an alarm sounded in the command cabin.
"Warning, unknown attack, unknown attack." There was a continuous warning sound from the Voyager.
"Attack? Where did the attack come from? Where did it hit? Zhou Xin looked puzzled, he didn't feel that the Voyager was being attacked.
The alarm went off twice and stopped, and then came the Voyager's report, "Sorry, this ship has raised the warning level too high. It was not the ship that was attacked, it was the probes on the planet who were attacked. ā
"Probe?" Zhou Xin was even more puzzled, "The probe on the surface of the planet has been attacked? No false positives, are you sure it's not an accident? ā
"It doesn't seem like an accident." While Zhou Xin asked about the Voyager's condition, Spred looked at the report sent back by the probe, "The location that the probe reported to be attacked is located on a large plain, and there is no precipitous terrain nearby. And the attacked probe seemed to be killed with a single hit, and it lost its response after only sending back a two-word message. ā
After listening to Spred's report, Zhou Xin thought for a while, "It's true that it's more likely to be attacked, but who did it?" He said to himself, "Could it be some other Atlanteans?" ā
"I think that's the most likely way to do it." Spred thought for a moment and said, "There can't be another civilization on this kind of planet." ā
Zhou Xin suddenly felt a little headache, "What do the Atlanteans think, do they really regard us as that hostile civilization?" If that's the case, we're in real trouble. ā
"What's more troublesome is that we don't have a way to communicate with them yet." Spred was also distressed, "What the hell are they thinking about attacking our probe without saying a word?" ā
"It looks like the breakthrough now can only be put on the Atlanteans on the ship." Zhou Xin thought for a while and said, "The Atlanteans on the surface of the planet can't even see each other, so they can't communicate at all. The Atlantean on the ship, at least Ralph could get close to her, and say a few words. He sighed, "Looks like we're going to have to find a way to change that Atlantean's opinion of us now." ā
Spred nodded, "That's all there is to it now......"
