Chapter Seventy-Eight: Satellite Communications

When the sun was shining at noon, Xingyu and Mia climbed out of the cabin to hide from the sun. The cabin has no windows to let in light, and only two hatches let in light. So even at noon, it was dark in the cabin. Xia Xue and Xiao Xi don't like dark cabins, so during the lunch break, they usually hide in the lifeboats on the deck to rest.

At this time, the satellite communicator placed in the cabin heard Dr. He's call: "This is Dr. He." When you hear it, please answer. When Mia heard Dr. He's call, she immediately rushed over to start the call. Miya complained angrily: "When I have something urgent to look for you, I can't find it. When it's okay, you come out. What does this mean? Xingyu looked at Miya who was full of resentment in astonishment. Before Xingyu was injured and fainted, he didn't know that Miya was in a hurry at that time.

When Dr. He heard that Mia was going to continue complaining, he quickly shouted, "Stop! It's not that we don't respond! Satellite communications require satellite signals. If you and I don't have communication satellites on top of here. Then we won't be able to hear from each other. It's the end times! A lot of satellites are out of line. Satellite communication is not as convenient as it was before the end of the world! ”

While Dr. Ho explains, Heung-woo is also stopping Mia from continuing to complain. Xingyu knows the principle of satellite communication and understands that Dr. He can't be blamed for this. And Xingyu knows that satellites orbit the earth, and satellites will soon go around. Wrong this time, I don't know when I will be able to communicate with Dr. He next time. Xingyu has something important to ask Dr. He.

Xingyu first looked around, and after making sure that there were only the two of them in the cabin, he whispered into the microphone of the communicator, "Dr. He, there seems to be something wrong with Mia's health and me. The communicator's announcer paused, and then Dr. He laughed, and then Dr. He teased: "Mutation is mutation, what is a health problem!" ”

Xingyu and Miya closed their mouths in surprise, and they both stared at the communicator at the same time, as if the communicator was Dr. He. Dr. Ho continued, "The Antarctic and the Antarctic have been frozen for more than 15 million years, and the ice at the Poles has frozen many archaeaea. Now that the poles have melted, it is normal for humans and other organisms to be infected by unknown bacteria. And you've been to Antarctica before when it was dissolving. ”

Although Dr. Ho's explanation was reasonable, Xingyu felt that it was wrong in his heart. Since he and Mia were infected because they had been to Antarctica. Then they should be among the first to be infected. So how did Dr. Ho know that they would be infected, and Dr. Ho was not surprised at all when he found out that they were infected. After Xingyu figured this out, he immediately thought of the observatory they used in Antarctica, which originally belonged to Dr. He. In other words, Dr. Ho, they may also be infected.

When Xingyu was about to ask Dr. He, Miya had already exclaimed first: "You have also mutated!" Dr. Ho was silent. After a short while, Mia asked worriedly, "What will happen to us if we are infected?" After a moment of silence, Dr. He replied in a relaxed tone, "It's okay!" It's just that after the injury, it recovers relatively quickly. It's just that the strength is greater than before. Speaking of which, that's a good thing! No adverse effects have been found. ”

After hearing this, Xingyu and Miya looked at each other in surprise. They also thought to themselves, "If you are shot through by an arrow, you will recover in one day." It's not a faster recovery, it's super fast. "It seems that Dr. He and they are only slightly infected, and Xingyu and Miya's mutations are more serious.

Xingyu didn't want Dr. He to know about this, so he shifted his attention and asked, "Dr. He, you must have something to do with us, right?" Last time I was looking for an engineering ship, what are you looking for this time? Dr. Ho's disdainful voice came from the communicator: "Cut! You two little ghosts, the last time I looked for you, it wasn't cheap for you. Dr. He then said solemnly, "I really want you to help me find something." After sailing 1,800 nautical miles to the southwest, you will reach the former Sea of Japan. Xingyu didn't wait for Dr. He to finish speaking, and exclaimed: "1,800 nautical miles, which is equal to 10,000 kilometers!" What are you looking for? It's going to go so far. ”

Dr. Ho replied solemnly: "Man-made floating islands." Japan has a unique geographical location and can sink at any time. So they've always had a Japanese phobia of sinking, so they've been working on man-made floating islands. It has even succeeded in creating large man-made floating islands. We expect this large man-made floating island to survive a doomsday tsunami, so we'd like you to go there and help find it. ”

After listening to this, Mia asked puzzledly, "Do you have an observation satellite!" Why don't you look for it from a satellite? Dr. He replied helplessly: "Without accurate coordinates, there is nothing you can do to observe the satellite!" And the satellites orbit and can stare at an area for only two hours a day. The odds of finding a floating island in the ocean with an observation satellite are too low. ”

It was Xingyu's turn to ask suspiciously: "Why don't you go by yourself!" Ark-1 has advanced equipment, and you definitely have a better chance of finding the Floating Island than we do. Dr. Ho smiled wryly and replied, "We have more important things to do." ”

Dr. Ho knew that these two were curious babies, so he didn't wait for them to ask, and went on to say, "Now the two largest continents on Earth, Asia and the Americas, have become new North and South poles. The land on which the earth can still be inhabited by people is less than 10% of what it was before the end of the world, and the largest continent is now Antarctica, after the melting of glaciers. The rest of the Earth's lands are overpopulated. Now these lands are in a state of anarchy, and the surviving humans are killing each other for survival resources. ”

After taking a breath, Dr. Ho continued, "Antarctica, which was originally uninhabited. Before the eruption, observers from various countries were evacuated. We estimate that it is the last pure land on earth. Moreover, Antarctica is rich in natural resources underground. It's a good place to redevelop. Therefore, Ark 1 must continue to observe Antarctica and not be distracted from looking for floating islands. ”

After listening to this, Mia asked in astonishment: "It's been so long, and you're just observing!" Why don't you just log in? Xingyu and Miya waited for a long time and couldn't wait for Dr. He's answer, Xingyu knew that the satellite communication had been disconnected.

The question asked by Mia, Xingyu knew the answer. So Xingyu replied on behalf of Dr. He: "After Antarctica was unblocked, the land was full of unknown bacteria. They didn't dare to make a rash landing, so they were still watching. ”

Heungwoo and Mia continue to discuss what they didn't want Dr. He to know before. The mutations of Xingyu and Miya are obviously more serious than what Dr. He said. But Dr. He, they stayed in Antarctica longer than they did. So Xingyu suspects that the real point of infection is in the iceberg they hit before they reached Antarctica. The iceberg originally drifted out of Antarctica. So Dr. Ho, they were also infected, but it wasn't serious. But Xingyu and Miya climbed the iceberg directly and were directly infected.
