Chapter 47 Local Viruses
While Bai Min and Huo Man were waiting for the crops in the fire department, the people at the sea base were busy in order to complete the construction of the constant temperature grain production greenhouse.
Sunlight shines through a lattice of transparent glass walls, shining on the large pools separated by concrete tables behind the glass. The dark gray wooden partitions also cast their shadows on the pool. At the west end of the canopy, through the glass, you can see that this section has been divided into several small enclosed spaces - here is the sterilization room and the laboratory.
After entering the first door of the thermostatic shed, the door behind him closed automatically with a "bang", and at the same time, the buzzer above the head sounded: "Now the air exchange is underway, you may not feel comfortable, but it will be over soon, please don't panic!" β
Then, there will be a wave of heat that will surround you. Some of the heat can also penetrate the thin parts of your clothes, making you feel too hot. Further inside, there are two doors next to each other, and the glass of the left and right doors reads "Men's Disinfection Locker Room" and "Women's Disinfection Locker Room" respectively.
After entering according to his own surname, some words appeared on the opposite wall:
Precautions for disinfection
Please strip your clothes and pants and hang them in the closet.
Please disinfect the shower head for disinfection.
Please wear prepared clothes, pants and shoes before entering the incubator.
Keep your eyes closed when showering and be careful not to get the disinfectant solution into your eyes. If you feel unwell, please do not enter for the time being, but go to the infirmary for medical treatment.
On the roof of the fully enclosed shower room, two headlights not only provide illumination, but also emit a steady stream of hot air that rushes towards people's bodies, and then towards the surrounding walls and objects.
When you dry with a towel after showering, you can see another cabinet next to the closet, which says "Enter the work closet of the thermostatic shed". Put on the underwear that sticks to the flesh, put on the jumpsuit with a hat, and add a pair of shoes as the outermost layer, and you can follow the instructions on the wall to enter the laboratory of the thermostatic shed.
The laboratory is about forty or fifty square meters, and the most prominent of them is a large pool with the words "nutrient solution preparation pool" written on the pool. Dorkick and Helary, on the other hand, were busy in a pile of glass instruments on a few wooden workbenches.
This room has two other doors, one with the words "Water Treatment Tank" and the other with the words "Thermostatic Greenhouse Growing Room".
When there was nothing special, Dorkick and Helary were usually too busy paying attention to people, just glaring at them and telling the enterers: "When you enter the thermostatic shed, be careful to close the door." With that, he went about his business again, as if the two of them were the busiest people in the base.
Entering the spacious thermostatic planting shed, the ground is covered with smooth concrete, and you can also see six huge pools surrounded by 30 or 40 centimeters of pure earth. Between each large pool, there is a concrete path for almost two people to walk. In addition, these large pools are divided into smaller pools by lower concrete ridges.
If you look at each of the large pools, you can see that only a small part of the pond is full of lush plants of different heights and appearances.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a vibrant green, but now when I see it for a while, I think of the earth, and then of the various green crops that grow in the climate-controlled sheds on the earth. When you see this, you can't help but forget that this is on another planet - a planet with only gray and black plants.
On closer inspection, the roots of each plant are attached to what looks like a square base made of scraps of wood, which is then submerged in water. There was water at the bottom of the small pond with plants, and the bottom of the other small ponds with empty pools showed a blue-gray color of concrete.
A young man in his twenties was taking water from a pool with plants in a glass and sending the glasses to the laboratory.
Out of this constant temperature shed, along the river embankment to the south, next to the just come out, is a three-acre constant temperature shed. At a glance, you can tell that its exterior architecture has been completed. Through the glass wall, some people can be seen busy inside.
Further south, there is a thermostatic shed with the largest five-acre land under construction. Here, some are underground, some are standing on wooden shelves that have been erected, and large pieces of glass are being attached to the empty wooden supports. The parts that were already glassed, someone had sealant applied between the wooden support and the glass.
Tamin moved his tall, muscular body, standing on a wooden shelf at the corners of the corner, and the others were mounting a piece of glass. From time to time, his head turned to one side, and he covered his mouth with one hand to block out the muffled cough. A few days ago, while moving the wooden frame, he accidentally let the wooden thorn on the wood stab the inside of the wrist of his left hand. And he has always relied on his physical strength, so he did not let the doctor treat his wound, besides, this is a small wound that cannot be smaller. Today, two days later, his wound began to have a black-gray discharge. He's really nervous right now, so he's going to go to the infirmary after he's done today's work.
Duofan and Zhaoli, who were standing together on the wooden frame, saw Ta Ming's incessant coughing, and they all cast concerned eyes.
Zhao Li: "I see that you have a worse cough today than yesterday, didn't you go to the doctor to take a look?" β
Tamin: "Ahem! Ahem! His face was red and blue, and tears came out of his eyes: "Don't say it, I coughed even more when I said it." β
Zhao Li smiled: "You kid is very good at making excuses, if I don't say it, you won't cough." β
Tamin smiled and said, "Maybe." β
Zhao Li: "Then I'm sure I'll be fine if you don't see me, right?" I'm tired and want to go back to rest, and you've done it for me. β
Many times: "Didn't see a doctor?" β
"Is this a problem worth it?"
Many times: "I can't be careless, we are not on the earth, and you know that the virus environment here is different from that of the earth." You coughed yesterday too, right? Don't do it, go to the doctor! β
Tamin shook his hand: "Hey! Not so delicate. He raised one arm and made a tense muscle: "We can't finish our strength." β
Zhaoli: "I just saw that your face didn't seem to be good!" Some are blue. β
Tamin: "I'll go to the doctor when I'm done in the evening. β
Many times: "Remember! Illness is not something that can be passed by standing firm. β
Ta Ming apologized: "Don't worry, you must go to the doctor at night." β
Another piece of glass had been brought under the wooden frame - it was time to be busy with the glass again, and Duofan and Zhaoli stopped urging Ta Ming to see a doctor. The people below helped deliver the glass, ready to move the glass under the wooden frame.
With a "plop", the wooden frame shook for a while, frightening the few people below to search the surroundings. They found that Tamin had fallen on the work surface on top of the wooden frame. Duofan, Zhaoli and Xibo, who had not been biting, quickly arrived in front of Taming.
Shouted many times: "Tamin, Tamin, what's wrong with you?" β
Tamin did not reflect in the slightest. Twist Tamin's head several times so that Tamin's face can be seen by him. He saw that Tamin had his eyes closed, and his face was lifeless pale - he had fainted.
Zhao Li frowned and said, "It's so serious, hurry up and let him go to the ground!" β
As soon as the person carrying the glass below arrived under the wooden frame, he heard Xibo shouting from above: "Put the glass aside first, and take the person down." The people below didn't know what was going on, and they stood and watched as they sent Taming's heavy body under the wooden frame.
Said to the people below many times: "Tamin is sick, pick him up!" The people below knew what was going on, and they all approached the wooden frame and stretched out their hands to pick up Tamin's body.
Throw a sentence to the people left behind many times: "Now that there are not enough people, you can rest!" β
He and Zhaoli and Xibo carried Ta Ming, dodging the building materials all the way, passing through a few passers-by who were standing on the side, and hurried towards the infirmary.
The three of them took turns to carry Ta Ming to the infirmary, and before they could reach the door, Zhaoli shouted: "Le Siya, Le Siya, there is an emergency here." β
After a while, Le Siya appeared at the door of the infirmary. She was dressed as a doctor, her medical mask had been removed and hung on one ear, her fair face showed some tired looks, and she looked at her blood-colored lips like a young man, but she looked a little dark at this time.
She approached Tamin, who was carrying, and looked at Tamin's face and rolled her eyes and lips with a slight surprise: "Oh! A symptom with his son. A hand pointed into the room, "Bring it in." β
Many times and Zhaoli subconsciously looked at each other, and Zhaoli said in an unbelievable tone: "A symptom with his son?!" β
After placing Taming on a bed, he was a little curious to see what Tamin's son was, and asked Lesia: "What about Tamin's son?" β
Le Siya put on the mask again, she rolled her big eyes and glanced at it many times, I don't know if it was because of the mask that made her voice a little foggy or something else, in short, the tone was not very kind: "Just these few beds, you don't know how to look." What do you want to do? β
"We want to see."
Behind the mask, there was an impatient tone: "Hurry up and get out!" β
She suddenly changed to a tactful tone: "This disease may be contagious, you better leave!" "- How does this woman look like she is in menopause, and she will change from moment to moment. The two men stopped continuing, silently turned around and walked towards the door of the infirmary, and patted Xibo on the shoulder many times: "Go, go back to the construction site." β
On the way, Zhao Li said, "What's wrong with Le Siya today?" β
After pondering for a while, he said softly: "Doctors are used to making a fuss about everything. Well! Maybe it's caused by a bit of stress lately! β
"Stressed?" He shook his head again and looked puzzled.
"It's hard to say what's going on, I'm just guessing."
The three of them walked silently. In the sky, the two suns had already begun to set to the west. The clouds on the top of the high volcanic mountain were stirred by the passing winds and formed a continuous whirlpool on the shoulders of the mountain. The brightness of the two suns was not strong in the first place, and the light shining on the body of the cloud and then projecting it on the snow on the ridge made the part of the snow covered by the cloud look a little black, enough to make people have the illusion that the snow itself should be colored.
Because the island is surrounded by the sea, the temperature on the island is three or four degrees lower than that on the mainland of the first base. The previous night's precipitation had not yet been absorbed by the transpiration of the sun, and the heat and brightness of the sun's rays began to wane in the west. In this way, the humidity on the island stays like this, making people feel that the air is a little sticky, and when it touches people's skin, it is like people themselves are constantly washing their faces.
In the middle of the night, Xibo felt very cold, and in a drowsiness, he put the clothes he was wearing on top of the sleeping bag, and tied the mouth of the sleeping bag on both sides that were opened by the shoulders again, but he still felt unbearable cold, and he retracted his whole head into the sleeping bag. After that, he didn't know anything
In the living room, Xibo, who had just learned to walk, bit his fingers and stared at everything around him with big eyes, which was beautiful and strange: "Come on!" Come! Come to Daddy. "Say hello to Xibo many times. Suddenly, Xibo's smiling face was gone, and he stood alone on the stone that was just big enough for one person to stand, looking down at his feet, surrounded by steep cliffs, and he couldn't see how deep it was, and there were clouds fluttering between the cliffs. Suddenly, on the side of the road in the vast desert, several people had a rag on their heads, reaching out for food. I didn't dare to stare at their skinny faces and hands anymore, and I wanted to quickly find out what to eat and drink to send them away, and when I found them and handed them to them, those hands quickly turned into dazzling white bones, and those faces quickly turned into white bones, two black holes, a large open mouth, and the roots of white teeth and gums were very visible. I was so shocked that I wanted to leave this terrible place, but I couldn't move with all my strength, and I shouted: "Help me!" "Wake up.
"It turned out to be a dream," he said to himself many times. Hey! I don't want my roommates to hear what I said at the end. He looked at the nearby beds, all asleep. It seems that the last one didn't come out, and that's good. Look at the watch, it's still early, go back to sleep.
In the morning, he cooked for Xibo many times, waited for him to come and waited for him to come to the right, he rushed to Xibo's tent angrily, and shouted at the door: "Boy, you are still sleeping, what time is it, you don't eat and don't work!" β
There was no response, and many times I wondered if someone else was not sleeping here at all. He turned on the light and approached the bed where Sibo was sleeping, and saw that the sleeping bag was bulging. He thought that Xibo slept too deadly, so he sat on the edge of the bed without any doubt and patted his sleeping bag: "Hey! It's time to wake up. "There was still no sound coming from the sleeping bag. There was a "buzz" in his head many times. He lightningly went to uncover the sleeping bag, found that it was the bottom of the seal, and changed it back to the end. He opened the mouth of the sleeping bag with his hand, turned the face of Sibo to the side, and saw that Sibo's face was blue-white, his eyes were closed, and his lips were closedβthe muscles of his cheeks were tense. Seeing this scene, many times my mind fell into a short blank period.
Duoban pulled his son out of his sleeping bag. Xibo is half a head taller than Duofan, and he usually exercises regularly, and his weight is not light, so he stumbled and ran to the infirmary with Xibo in his arms.
At the door of the infirmary, a doctor wearing a mask left only two eyes. The doctor made a push-hand motion: "You can't go in, leave it to me!" βγ After a few moments, he poked his head into the infirmary, and immediately a voice shouted, "Don't come in." β
Many times: "I'll just look." β
The voice added, "I can't see it." β
After seeing a piece of wood at the door, I sat down and waited for the echo inside.
Zhao Li had just eaten breakfast, and his mouth still had the residual moisture from eating liquid food. He saw many times sitting on the wood in a daze: "What's the matter?" Why did you leave before you finished cooking. β
cried many times with a sad face: "Xibo is also sick." β
Zhao Li was surprised: "He's sick too?" β
"It's a symptom with Tamin."
"You're not a doctor, can you be so sure?"
"I can't look at the situation!"
"Seriously?"
Nodding many times: ""
Wen He hurriedly walked over: "You two come here and have a meeting." β
Zhaoli: "Where?" β
Wen He: "We tent. He rolled his eyes many times and looked at Wen He, but he didn't move.
Wen He emphasized: "Hurry up! Very important. β
After many times, he was ready to get up, and he sat down again.
Wen He hurriedly stepped forward to pull it, and waved his hand many times: "Don't!" β
Wen He's tent was still lit up, and there were already several people sitting and standing inside. Duofan and Zhaoli nodded their heads one by one, and the few people nodded in return, but they all had stiff faces - serious expressions. Ivan sat on a stool, his shoulders slumped, his back against the eaves of a table, tensed his face full of ditches, and raised his chin: "Find a place to sit." β
Ivan looked around at the crowd and sighed, "Hi! What had been fearing for months came true. According to doctors, the virus that caused the disease spread so quickly that almost eight people have been quarantined because of the severity of the disease. I will stop the construction for the time being, so as not to have cross-infection in the work. Also, everyone had to stay in their tents and not move around, let alone talk to each other. If you find any adverse symptoms, immediately notify the infirmary for isolation. β
Zhaoli: "How to deal with the situation of eating and drinking?" β
Ivan: "We've gone to Base 1 to transfer the thin spacesuits that are stored there. In the future, all doctors and service personnel who need to move will have to wear spacesuits and communicate all information by radio. Eat, drink and other things, notify the service staff, and they will help you solve it. β
Le Siya said: "One tent for one person in a serious case, maybe the tent is not enough." β
Ivan: "The conditions are limited, can't two or three people in one tent?" β
Lesia: "Ah! Yes, but it depends on the severity of symptoms. β
Ivan: "You can see what you do. β
Lv Yuan: "The personnel involved in the breeding of the No. 1 shed can't be isolated, right?" That's not without people. β
Ivan thought for a while: "No, then you can also work in space suits." β
Lu Yuan: "It's a high temperature of more than 20 degrees in there, and wearing that thing doesn't make people choke enough, and the thin spacesuit has no temperature adjustment function." β
Wen He: "Although the temperature is high, it will not transmit diseases, which of the two do you think is more cost-effective?" β
Lu Yuan: "Hey! I have a way, can I bring another pair of thick spacesuits, that one has a temperature regulation function, we just need to connect the two kinds of space suits with one tube, can't we solve it? β
Wen He: "You're not going to work in a space suit again, no, no." β
Lu Yuan: "Who said that we want to carry another one, we just need to connect it when we feel too hot to stand it, and lower the temperature in the clothes." β
Wenhe: "That's okay. β
Ivan: "Just do it for them." Looking around at the crowd: "If there is nothing else, go back to your tent." β
Duofan: "Start now?" β
Ivan nodded, and said to Wen He: "You can make a list of all the people who need to wear thin spacesuits, mark the call frequency band of each of them when you distribute the clothes, and then send it to everyone" (To be continued.) )
