"It looks like things are going a little better on this planet than I expected. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the planet information displayed on the screen, Zhou Xin said thoughtfully.

After more than a day of exploration, the probe has essentially completed the survey of the target planet. The results of the investigation showed that the planet was a very ordinary rocky planet, with a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers, which is slightly smaller than the Earth. There are no extremely dangerous locations on the surface of the planet, and like other rocky planets, there are random terrains such as mountains and plains, and of course, a large number of craters. In addition, the most important point is that the gravity on the planet's surface is about five-sixths of the Earth's gravity, which is just a suitable range for all the members of the Voyager to recover.

"Hmm." Looking at the data on the screen, Spred analyzed, "Although there is no atmosphere on the surface of the planet, and the temperature difference between day and night is nearly 300 degrees Celsius, it is not a particularly harsh environment for us. ”

"It's good that there is no atmosphere." Zhou Xin continued, "If there is an atmosphere, I am afraid that the most likely thing is that it is all kinds of dangerous gases. If it is a toxic gas, it is easy to say, but if it is a corrosive gas, it will greatly affect the construction progress of the base. ”

"That's right." Spred first agreed with Zhou Xin's words, and then urged, "Now that the survey of the planet's surface has been completed, the construction of the base is ready to begin, right?" ”

"Is the engineering ship ready?" Zhou Xin didn't answer Spred's question, but asked directly to the Voyager.

"The three engineering ships have completed their preparations and are now waiting for orders in the flight lane, ready to depart at any time." The Voyager replied.

"Let's go first, then." Zhou Xin gave the order.

With the exterior footage of the Voyager showing the engineering ship that is gradually flying towards the surface of the planet, Zhou Xin and the people in the command module are looking for the most suitable location to establish a base on the surface of the planet. After nearly half an hour of discussion, they finally decided to locate the base on a small plain not far from the planet's north magnetic pole. There are many considerations for setting the location of the base: first, of course, because the terrain there is flat, which is suitable for the construction of the base; Second, because there are fewer craters nearby, the probability of the base being attacked by meteorites is relatively low; The third reason is that the temperature difference between day and night in the vicinity is relatively low compared to other places, and the harm is minimal for both the base itself and those who will be operating in the base in the future.

Deciding on the location of the base is only the first step, and there is still no way for anyone to take it lightly, as the disaster on board the Voyager is still unfolding.

"The number of critically ill patients is still increasing." In contact with Dr. Wren, he said. At this time, Dr. Wren, who appeared on the screen, could not hide his tired look, and even his voice seemed a little weak, "This group of people has now been placed in the gravity simulation device by me, but as the number of people continues to increase, even if I continue to remove the patients whose symptoms have been relieved, I am afraid that there will be no more people inside the device soon." "And, as more and more critically ill patients take up space in the gravity simulator, the amount of time others spend in the device will be greatly reduced." Under the vicious circle, the number of critically ill patients can increase rapidly. ”

"No way, just work hard for a few more days." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "After the base on the planet is built, this situation should be improved." ”

"How many days will it take to complete the construction of the base." Wren asked, "I'm afraid someone won't be able to hold on if it's too long." ”

"Seven days." Zhou Xin estimated and replied, "Can you hold on for seven days?" In seven days, the base should be fully built. ”

"Seven days—" Wren replied after a moment's thought, "as long as the number of seriously ill patients does not increase significantly, seven days should still be fine." ”

"That's good." Rayne's answer made Zhou Xin breathe a sigh of relief slightly, and then he said with concern, "However, treatment is treatment, and you yourself should also pay attention to rest." ”

"I want to, too, but it's simply not realistic." Wren smiled bitterly, "There is no problem with those with mild symptoms being handed over to other people or medical robots, but I still don't feel at ease with the treatment of other people with severe symptoms, and I still have to rely on myself to do it myself." After a pause, he continued, "To be honest, in my current state, I don't know if I'll be able to hold on for the next seven days. I can already clearly feel that my body is much weaker than before. ”

"You can't fall, what if you fall and someone else." Hearing Wren's words, Zhou Xin suddenly became nervous, "Otherwise, you can stay in the gravity device for a longer time." ”

"It's useless." Wren shook his head, "Because I have to check on the relationship between the critically ill patients, I now spend about half a day in the gravity device every day, if it continues to be extended, then I can only stay in it all day, so do I have to check on other people." Without giving Zhou Xin a chance to speak, Wren continued, "Okay, let's do it first, I'm going to inspect the patients." As soon as he finished speaking, he ended the communication.

However, not everything is as smooth sailing as expected. On the third day of construction at the planetary base, Dr. Wren fell ill. His collapse was like a signal, and then a large number of medical staff began to show symptoms of weightlessness one after another. The Voyager was in further crisis. Knowing this, Zhou Xin and others hurried to the medical cabin.

"How's it going?" The person who received Zhou Xin in the medical cabin was a Lei Xing who he didn't even know his name, but at this moment Zhou Xin didn't care about asking the other party's name, and at the first glance when he saw him, Zhou Xin asked about the current situation directly.

"It's bad." The Thunderstar man's face was not very good, and he replied, "The problem is not the new comatose people, although their physical condition is terrible, but they are not as good as those seriously ill patients. The crux of the problem is the drastic reduction in the number of medical staff, which has left a large number of patients unable to be properly managed. To this day, some unconscious medical staff are still lying next to the hospital bed, and even those who are now busy are in a coma at any time. To make matters worse, there are also unconscious people in other parts of the spaceship from time to time, and we have no time to deal with them, so we can only let the people around them send those unconscious people to bed to rest first, because we simply don't have enough space here to send them over. ”

After hearing these words, Zhou Xin made a decisive decision, "I will immediately send a notice and ask all the people who are still capable of the ship to come over and help." Voyager, order all robots to immediately stop all unnecessary work and join the rescue team. Well, let's activate the battle robots as well. ”

"Understood."

"There's one more thing." The thunder star man said to Zhou Xin with a solemn expression, "Now that the space in the gravity simulation device is almost insufficient, if the number of seriously ill patients continues to increase, they will inevitably have to be placed in ordinary wards." If so, I'm afraid they won't last long. ”

"There are only four days left until the completion of the construction of the planetary base, can you hold on to four days?" Zhou Xin asked nervously.

"Theoretically—" The thunderstar replied with some hesitation, and after a moment, he told the truth, "Actually, those who are seriously ill can die at any time if they don't stay in a stable gravity environment. ”

"Is it so serious?" This answer made Zhou Xin's emotions a little excited, and suddenly he felt a little dizzy. After shaking twice, he finally stood firm.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Seeing Zhou Xin's movements, the thunder star man asked.

"It's fine, it's just a little dizzy."

"It looks like you're starting to show the first signs of weightlessness as well."

"It's okay, leave me alone, you go on." Zhou Xin waved his hand at him.

Glancing at Zhou Xin with concern, the Lei Xing man continued: "As time goes by, the mortality rate of seriously ill patients will continue to rise. So, while they could theoretically survive four days, but—"

"Okay, I see." Zhou Xin's brows furrowed, "You take care of those people first, and I will find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible." Time waits for no one, and after saying this, he left the medical cabin.

On the way back to the command module, Spred asked, "Have you thought of any solution?" ”

"I think I thought of it." As he walked, Zhou Xin replied, "I want to send them all to the planet base." ”

"Are you crazy?" Hearing this answer, Spred became excited, "The base on the surface of the planet has not been built at all, did you send those people over to let them die?" ”

"Why should I send them to death if they die?" Zhou Xin explained, "Although the construction of the planet base has not yet been completed, the room should be built. ”

"What's the use of the room being built." Before Zhou Xin could continue, Spred retorted, "What's the use of the necessary life-support devices not being installed yet?" ”

"It's enough to have a closed room." Zhou Xin continued, "As for the temperature control device, I will let the engineering robot start installing it right now, which is relatively simple and should be able to be completed before the first people arrive on the surface of the planet." I didn't have time to install the air circulation system, but I would have them bring enough oxygen cylinders down. ”

"You want the critically ill patients to stay in hazmat suits until the base is built?" Spred seemed to understand what Zhou Xin meant.

Hearing this, Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, and then replied: "Almost, I originally wanted to pour the gas from the oxygen cylinder into the closed room, but it seems that your idea is a little better in comparison." Of course, no matter what you do, there's a bit of trouble here, and that's that we need to supply a lot of oxygen to the ground every day. I'm afraid I'll have to bring back one of the engineering ships on the planet's surface to accomplish this mission. ”

"It's a little more troublesome, but it's better than no way." "Now that we've figured out a solution, let's do it." ”

After returning to the command module, Zhou Xin immediately contacted the surface of the planet, assigned the new mission to the engineering team on the planet, and then contacted the medical module. Those medical staff were still quite puzzled about Zhou Xin's arrangement, but because of the tight time, Zhou Xin did not explain much to them. However, although they had doubts, in the end, those medical staff still chose to believe in Zhou Xin's arrangement.

After more than an hour, the intense preparations were completed. Three shuttles, carrying nearly fifty critically ill patients and several paramedics, as well as a large number of oxygen cylinders, set off from the Voyager for the planet's base. It was only at this time that Zhou Xin and Spred had time to explain in detail to the others the solution they had just come up with.

"Sounds like a good idea." After listening to Zhou Xin's explanation, the Lei Xing man who had received him in the medical cabin before said thoughtfully, "But I don't know if it will succeed in the end." ”

"That's the best I can think of in this situation." Zhou Xin's tone was a little helpless, "At least it won't be worse than what they left on the spaceship, right?" ”

"You have a point." The Thunderstar nodded, then continued, "But for the sake of safety, I still think it's okay to just send the seriously ill to the surface of the planet first. As for those whose symptoms are not very serious, it is better to wait until the base is built before sending them in. ”

"That's what I decided." Zhou Xin replied, "But mainly because there isn't that much living space in the base these days. As for security, no matter how much everyone who went to the base was wearing protective clothing, even if something went wrong, it would be too late to retreat. ”

"In that case, then I don't have any problems." The thunderstar said, "I'm going to go with the others to arrange for the next group of members to go to the planet base, so I won't bother you too much, Captain." As soon as he finished saying this, he ended the communication.

Next, it took nearly half a day for Zhou Xin and them to send a total of more than 300 seriously ill patients to the base. But for them, this is just the beginning. As the planetary base continues to be built, so does the disaster aboard the Voyager......
