Chapter 403: Two Messages
As the Minister of Health said, just a few days later, Wang Hao received a new notice. His office has changed from outer space to an integrated space base orbiting the new Saturn, and a team of more than a dozen pathologists, microbiologists, and experienced clinicians is directly under the leadership of Wang Hao. In addition, there is also a coordinator stationed directly here, who is responsible for solving Wang Hao's resource or personnel needs at any time.
The office and scientific research conditions here are undoubtedly much stronger than before. With the exception of movement still being slightly restricted and the duty station still enforcing a very high level of security, life here is no different from what it used to be.
With the addition of these people, Wang Hao's work progress immediately accelerated a lot, and after only a dozen days, the analysis of the remains of all the crew members of the Nimbus spacecraft was completed. At this point, Wang Hao divided the team into two parts, one responsible for tracing the cause of the disease, and the other trying to find a cure for the disease.
Things have developed so far, Wang Hao's team is no longer a simple scientific research institution, but has become a coordination body. There may be many factors that cause a disease, and when it comes to this incident, it may be caused by a combination of various reasons such as the space environment, the spacecraft environment, the behavior of the crew, and the various substances they come into contact with at work. The same is true for finding a cure for this condition. It is not easy to cure a completely new disease, and it also requires the cooperation of many scientists and departments.
The coordinator assigned here became the busiest person on the team. Every day, a large number of requirements are generated, which are distributed by him to different departments or research institutes to request assistance and supervise progress, and a large number of feedback information is concentrated on him every day, and then assigned to different people in the team, and finally all the information is summarized by Wang Hao, and Wang Hao grasps the overall progress.
After the team was formed, the first thing to be asked to assist was the numerous system checkpoints that were run by the military. From now on, any ship returning from outside the galaxy, as well as all crew members on it, must first come to Wang Hao for inspection before being allowed to enter the Phoenix Galaxy. Perhaps because of the FΓΌhrer's direct concern, Wang Hao's request was not subject to any rejection. The responsible person of the military readily agreed to this request.
Today is the day when the first ship to return from outside the galaxy after the Nimbus arrives. The ship is also a heavy transport ship, but its destination system is much closer than the Nimbus spacecraft, less than four light-years away, so its overall voyage time is less than four years.
There were a total of twenty-three crew members in the ship. Now, they are all standing in front of Wang Hao. There is only a special glass barrier between the two sides.
The crew did not die or suffer from some obvious illness like the crew of the Nimbus spacecraft, but they were outwardly healthy. But Wang Hao did not dare to take it lightly, because Wang Hao knew that the disease he was investigating was named "atypical gene mutation syndrome", and its early manifestations were not obvious. If his speculation is true, it is also possible that the crew in front of them have already suffered from this early illness.
Under the scrutiny of Wang Hao and several colleagues, the twenty-three crew members in front of them were a little uneasy. This is understandable, Wang Hao knows that if he is surrounded by several warships and asked not to leave the spaceship under inexplicable circumstances, and then is escorted all the way here, without any explanation and communication in between, he will do the same.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao's tone softened: "Don't worry, the reason why I invited you here is because there are some things that require your cooperation. When the investigation is over, I promise you that you will return safely. β
A tall young man with extremely hard cheeks stepped forward and said with some trepidation, "Sir, I'm the captain of the Feiyan spaceship. I can assure you that we didn't have any irregularities in the process of carrying out the material transfer mission, uh, of course, we will definitely cooperate with your investigation, I wonder what you want to know? β
Before the start of this inspection, Wang Hao's team had obtained the flight log of the Feiyan spacecraft and the work log of each crew member in advance, and analyzed them in detail, which could confirm that what the captain of the Feiyan spacecraft said was true. But Wang Hao didn't care about those things, all Wang Hao cared about was the similarities between the environment of the Feiyan spacecraft and the Nimbus spacecraft.
"Who's your ship's doctor?"
A man who didn't seem to be a good talker stepped forward: "Sir, it's me. β
"During the mission, did you keep a detailed record of the health of all the crew? Any part of the body that is mentioned to you by any member of the crew. β
The ship's doctor thought for a moment, and said with some trepidation: "Sir, I can only guarantee that I have recorded all the cases of the crew formally asking me for help, and I have not recorded any complaints in daily life or informal settings. β
"Can you recall cases that you didn't record?"
"I can think of some, but not completely."
"Very well, tell me what you can recall."
Although he didn't know what Wang Hao's purpose was, the ship's doctor still didn't dare to slack off, so he carefully recalled: "Shortly after the departure - sorry, I can't remember the exact time - the storekeeper David once complained to me that his waist always felt sore......"
A blond, blue-eyed obese man immediately exclaimed, "It was just an occasional twist of my waist, and now it's completely healed." β
Wang Hao smiled as softly as possible and said, "It's okay, it's just a record." You continue. β
The doctor on board recounted all the cases he could recall, and one of Wang Hao's subordinates made a corresponding record. After questioning the doctor accompanying the ship, Wang Hao instructed his subordinates to inquire about the physical condition of each crew member individually.
By the time it was all done, hours had passed. But this inspection is not over, it has just begun. The human body is the most inaccurate, even if the record is detailed, it can only be used as a reference, and ultimately it is necessary to rely on the data obtained from the instrument examination to speak. So under Wang Hao's arrangement, every crew member underwent the most detailed inspection, and the results were obtained five days later.
The results of the examination made Wang Hao's heart a little heavy. Genetic sequencing data shows that the crew of the Feiyan spacecraft also have almost the same genetic mutation symptoms as the Nimbus spacecraft. However, it seems to be in the early stage, and the area where the mutation occurs is small, so it has not yet shown obvious symptoms.
"Keep watching." Wang Hao sighed and made a decision: "Let's assume for the time being that the pathogenic radiation source comes from outside the Phoenix Galaxy, and it is safe inside the Phoenix Galaxy, and now that they have returned to the safe zone, I wonder if their disease course will develop further." Also, they can be tried as living specimens to test various treatments. β
Through the inspection of experts from the engineering department and the mechanical department, Wang Hao has been able to determine that there is no possibility of some unknown radiation source inside the hull of either the Nimbus spacecraft or the Feiyan spacecraft. Moreover, the target galaxy of the two ships is not the same - the target galaxy of the Nimbus spacecraft is dominated by a yellow dwarf in its prime, and the Feiyan is an aging red giant. That being the case, the only source of radiation that can be suspected is space.
This is not good news. If there is a sudden increase in this kind of disease-causing radiation in space, which cannot be isolated by multiple layers of armor, and the course of the disease is extremely fast, and there is no effective means to treat it, then there is no reason why only the Nimbus and Feiyan spacecraft will be affected, and the rest of the ships can be unharmed.
If this can be confirmed, I am afraid that the original plan to return to the solar system next year will have to be postponed. And if human civilization is unable to solve these threats, then human civilization may be trapped in the Phoenix galaxy for a long time.
"Two months later, the Blue Danube passenger spacecraft will return to the Phoenix Galaxy from System 15 with a total of 1,329 passengers on board. Let's hope they come back safely......"
When they were informed that they could not leave for the time being and could only stay here, the crew of the Feiyan spacecraft were a little uneasy, but with the captain's comfort, they finally showed a cooperative attitude. However, the serious looking doctors and researchers that have appeared in the past few days, as well as the continuous examinations and various drugs that have been injected into the body, still make the tension of the crew climb to the top.
Limited to the confidentiality regulations, Wang Hao could not tell them what happened, but could only ask them to cooperate over and over again, and even had to communicate with the company they belonged to, and their boss directly came forward to appease them, proposing that during the period of cooperation with the inspection, the allowance would be ten times that of normal times, which temporarily suppressed the uneasy mood.
Time passed quietly in constant discussion and experimentation. More than a month later, when the Blue Danube spacecraft was about to arrive, Wang Hao got two pieces of news.
The first piece of news is bad news. Treatments devised by numerous specialists have failed to repair the crew's mutated genes.
The second piece of news is good news. The news is that while the mutations have not been repaired, they have not continued to evolve either. This means that even if there is no cure, the condition will not have any impact on the lives of the crew.
