469 Speed of Life and Death (2)

Weightlessness will cause difficulties in handling, but the absence of gravity will also buy a certain amount of time for the wounded, otherwise none of the three wounded will be able to hold on to the present.

For example, the heart has to fight gravity in standard gravity, while in weightlessness, it only needs a very weak heartbeat to send blood into the blood vessels.

That is, the professional military doctors of the commando team can skillfully rescue the wounded in a weightless state, and if they are replaced by military doctors from other units, I am afraid that they can't even control the posture of the body, let alone the medical equipment that is specially used in the weightless state on the military doctors.

Finally rushed to the ground, Ye Fei's heart finally let go of a little, and the first order after taking over the command was to carefully collect the remains of the martyrs, and after transporting them back to the Aquila, the bodies of all the martyrs would be frozen, and then transported back to the mainland for burial when there was a chance in the future.

Just as the work of cleaning up the battlefield was about to end, a "female corpse" suddenly floated up slowly, and then she tried her best to open her eyes and whispered in an extremely weak voice: "Help......

Most of the soldiers' attention was focused on the work at hand, and the few idlers gathered around the rescue scene to wait for the results of the rescue by the military doctor, and the passage was unusually quiet except for the small sound of the equipment in the hands of the military doctor from time to time, so that the cry for help that should have been drowned in the noise reached the ears of most people.

Her voice is very weak, and it is completely impossible for normal human hearing to hear it from a few meters away, but the external pickups of the combat armor are very sensitive, and it is also an important reason why the cry for help is heard by everyone.

The nearest soldier immediately approached and saw that it was a woman dressed as a mercenary. There was a sudden hesitation in the warrior's eyes.

"What's the situation?" Ji Yongzhi asked.

"Report to the captain, it's a mercenary, a woman." The warrior deliberately accented the word "female".

If it was a male mercenary, he was afraid that he would be killed by the soldiers quietly if he lived, but a woman, even if it was an ugly woman with a scar on her face, he felt that he couldn't do it.

When Joanna saw the soldier's hesitant movements, she didn't understand whether she was willing to save her. But Joanna's will to survive was very strong, and suddenly she gave birth to some strength, and grabbed the soldier's arm with all her strength: "Help me-"

"What's going on?" Ye Fei inadvertently noticed the abnormality here.

Report. A mercenary who is not yet dead is found. Chi Yongzhi just put it another way. But it was equivalent to sentencing Joanna to death.

"Female?" Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, and casually ordered the veterinarian with his crooked chin, "Veterinarian, see if there is any help." ”

If Joanna were a man. Maybe Ye Fei would collapse her skull with his own hands. But women have a natural and special place in a male-dominated army.

Also Joanna's luck. Although most of her subordinates are female soldiers, there can't be too many people who go deep into Dick's lair, so naturally they can't be dominated by female soldiers with weak combat effectiveness. As a result, most of the mercenaries who died in the fight were male, and apart from the eleven captives, only Joanna was a woman.

The veterinarian muttered reluctantly, "Why am I again?" ”

"Then who do you want me to send?" Ye Fei glared at the veterinarian angrily.

The five military doctors threw themselves into the battle to rescue the wounded, and only the veterinarians were dispensable, and pulling them out did not affect the rescue.

"Okay, I'm afraid of you. That who, pull people over! ”

"Coming soon!" The fighter immediately grabbed Joanna's hand and flew lightly to the veterinarian.

The veterinarian immediately began to examine Joanna's injuries, and after a cursory examination, he was surprised and said, "Good boy, she's really lucky!" ”

"How?" Ye Fei leaned over curiously.

"Look!" The veterinarian pointed to the wound on Joanna's body and said, "I was shot twice in my left arm, three in my left leg, I had a bullet hole and a few abrasions on the ventral side, and there was no fart on the right side, which looked quite serious, but in fact all of them were minor injuries except for the muzzle of the left abdomen." I don't need those medics, even I can get her. ”

Ye Fei was stunned when he heard this: "If the injury is not serious, how can it be like dying?" Loaded? He thought that this person was hopeless, but he didn't expect it to be like that at all.

"What to pretend, too much blood, can you not be weak." The veterinarian pointed to the wound on Joanna's thigh that was still bleeding, "It shouldn't have hurt the artery, otherwise the blood would have run out long ago." ”

"Isn't it?" The wolf cub, who didn't know when he came over, pointed to the dense gun holes in the passage and was stunned, "Such a dense bullet is a minor injury?" ”

"The facts are right in front of your eyes." The veterinarian glanced at the military doctor who was still busy, "How is it, save it or not?" ”

"Save." Ye Fei viciously exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest.

The three lives over there may not be snatched back, so there has to be a living mouth to understand what was going on at that time, right?

"Listen to you." The veterinarian immediately injected Joanna with anesthetic and artificial plasma, and Joanna, who barely remained conscious, became more and more blurred under the influence of the drug until she lost consciousness completely.

It was only then that the veterinarian began to treat the wounds on her body.

The wound on the four feet only needs to be simply closed to stop the bleeding, and it can be disposed of after a while, and the wound in the abdomen is the main thing, and the veterinarian will slowly probe the endoscope as thin as an optical fiber into the wound on Joanna's left abdomen: "It's a bit troublesome, the bullet is in her stomach, and if it penetrates the small intestine, it will be broken." ”

"Recovered?" Ye Fei asked softly.

"I can't see it, you still care about her, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will know about it?" The veterinarian teased boredly.

", don't talk nonsense with me." Ye Fei was about to kick, but the veterinarian hurriedly dodged: "Stop!" I'm saving people! ”

Ye Fei snorted coldly and put down his raised leg, and the veterinarian who took advantage of it smiled: "The one over there is more sure than me, don't blame me if you don't save it." ”

"You should practice your hands." Ye Fei said irresponsibly.

If Joanna heard the two of them discuss her condition like this, she would have to die of anger.

The veterinarian returned to Joanna, ripped off the clothes near the wound, revealing the blood-clotted left abdomen, and the laser scalpel neatly enlarged the wound and began to search for the warhead in the abdomen.

Joanna is in hot shape. Her skin was good, too, and her abdomen was free of excess fat from her usual exercises, but the blood-stained wound ruined all the beauty, and no one would have any strange thoughts about seeing Joanna's left abdomen.

Because the high temperature of the laser scalpel can seal the blood vessels of the wound while cutting the tissue, no more blood flows out of the wound, Ye Fei was surprised: "It's not easy, I still regress when you regress, I didn't expect that the technique is so stable after so many years, if you don't join the commando back then, maybe you can become a doctor." ”

"Not surprising at all." The veterinarian explained as he busied. "If you've dissected thousands of exoskeletons. Definitely more skilled than I am. ”

The wolf cub was shocked for a while, the war between humans and the Outer Bone People has been fought for so long, and the commandos who killed thousands of Outer Bone People with their own hands grabbed a handful, but I dare to say that there are really no people who have dissected so many Outer Bone People. Where did this staff officer come from?

"I see." Ye Fei, who was in the know, suddenly understood. "I didn't expect that. There is also such an advantage to dissecting the exoskeleton. ”

"The benefits? Forget it, the exoskeleton I see now is like a pile of decomposed corpses. The veterinarian couldn't help but complain. The pincers in his hand were unusually thin, but he steadily lifted a deformed bullet from the wound.

Loosening the pliers, the bullet with blood stains quietly floated in the air, and the veterinarian looked at the wound again: "It's okay, it's okay, it didn't hurt the intestines, it looks like a ricochet." "With the penetrating power of a standard rifle, a direct hit to the unprotected abdomen must be a penetrating wound from one shot to two eyes, and the intestines must be broken.

If the contents of the small intestine flow out of the wound, the abdominal cavity must be cleaned, and there is no such condition at the moment, if it cannot be evacuated in time, this mercenary will get peritonitis sooner or later, and it will depend on luck whether she will die or live at that time.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation behind him: "Blood pressure drops-"

"Inject vasopressors!" The military doctor who was in charge of the knife commanded without thinking

"Blood pressure continues to drop!" Blood pressure still shows no signs of recovery after injecting the wounded with drugs.

"The pathological cause has been ruled out, the wounded's bodily functions are collapsing, and the heart is about to stop beating - it's too late!" The chief surgeon stopped the operation, "Quick, establish cardiopulmonary bypass and strengthen the oxygen supply to the brain-"

The two of them immediately got busy quickly, no longer caring about the wounded's body, but cutting the arteries in the neck and connecting them to a palm-sized instrument.

Ye Fei crutches his arm and the veterinarian asked softly, "What is that?" ”

The veterinarian's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and he explained in a low voice: "It was an artificial cardiopulmonary bypass machine that was only equipped with the army a few years ago. ”

"What's that?"

"It's a mechanical heart." The veterinarian put it in a different way.

"Captain!" The chief knife medic shouted urgently, "The wounded must be sent to the hospital ship in the shortest possible time!" ”

Ye Fei was taken aback: "Impossible, it will take at least an hour to fly out of here from here!" ”

"No, fifteen minutes at most, otherwise you won't be saved!" The military doctor didn't even care about Captain Ye Fei's identity, and roared wildly at the top of his throat.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's impossible!" Ye Fei was also anxious, "It will take five minutes to fly out of the wreckage from here, and she can't be directly exposed to the vacuum, so it's too late to find the airtight cabin!" ”

It's normal to die on the battlefield, but how can you not save someone who can be saved?

"Can't you let an ambulance fly in faster than the speed of light?" The medic pleaded with the last glimmer of hope.

A military doctor is a warrior, but also a doctor, who can be cruel to the enemy, but necessarily merciful to his comrades.

Ye Fei shook his head slowly but firmly: "The space outside the wreckage is too small, and there are unexploded nuclear warheads everywhere...... Even if the ambulance flies in, we won't have time to get people up. ”

The medic turned pale, and suddenly shouted as if he had made up his mind, "Prepare the freezing equipment-"

"Are you sure you want to do that?" The medic who assisted in the operation jumped to his feet, and if it hadn't been for the armored flying device to adjust his posture in time, he would have had to hit his head on the bulkhead.

"Is there any other way to save the wounded? There's no time, hurry! The surgeon was in a hurry.

"Good!" The auxiliary military doctor immediately got busy with the chief surgeon.

"What do they two want to do?" Ye Fei saw that after the two military doctors cut the blood vessels, they took out a boxy box, quickly cut off various tissues and cervical vertebrae in the neck of the wounded, and actually cut off the head of the wounded and put it into the box.

Ye Fei's heart was about to jump out of his throat, is this a treatment? If it weren't for the fact that he didn't think the military doctor would be mad and messing around in front of so many people. You have to pull out a gun on the spot.

The veterinarian thought that Ye Fei would not be able to help but stop him, and was even ready to block Ye Fei, until the head of the wounded was put into the box, and then he relaxed and explained: "This is to freeze the head of the wounded and prepare for future brain transplants." ”

"What? Brain transplant? Ye Fei's pupils dilated instantly, "Can the current medicine transplant the brain?" What about rejection? ”

"It's very complicated to say, let me tell you this, this kind of technique was proposed after the realization of cryonics, and it was only two years ago that the key technique was broken through, theoretically. Just freeze the wounded's intact brains. When conditions permit it in the future, cloning a body and transplanting a brain into it will bring people back. The veterinarian frowned and said, "The human brain is too delicate, and the slightest mistake in transplantation will be wasted." Therefore, this technique must be performed in a frozen state...... I thought it was still being perfected in the lab. I didn't expect it to have spread to the troops. ”

Transplantation of the brain is too difficult. Even on Earth, there are only a very few medical institutions that have the ability to transplant technology, and it is impossible for those high-end medical talents to join the Heavenly Army and run to the ghost place of Gliese 581, and the veterinarian is really curious about who has such superb medical skills.

Clone...... Retransplant the brain?

Ye Fei felt that all his understanding of medicine had been subverted at once: "Can this really be done?" ”

"Because it's not easy to tell if the brain is alive when it goes into a frozen state. After the transplant, cryonics resuscitation is required, so the success rate of this technique is not very high......," the veterinarian sighed, "This method is equivalent to leaving the life of the wounded to fate, if it were not really no way, he would not choose to do this." ”

No way?

These three words deeply pierced Ye Fei's heart, and he asked in a low voice, "If it can be sent to the hospital ship in time, what are the chances of rescuing the wounded?" ”

"There is a life-sustaining system on the hospital ship, and no matter how serious the injury is, it can be maintained in the repair capsule." The veterinarian said with emotion, "You are not clear outside all the year round, the earth's medical technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and now the hospital is like a factory, no matter where it is broken, you can cultivate new organs in vitro and transplant them directly, and autologous cloning has no rejection, which is very convenient." ”

"But the brain is not an organ, and you say that the success rate is not high......"

"Don't think too much about it, these accidents are not expected in advance." The veterinarian comforted, "You've done well enough, I've known you for more than ten years, and I didn't guess that you would turn off the light and turn off gravity." ”

Gravity?

Ye Fei suddenly felt that he had caught something.

Suddenly, there was another commotion on the side of the military doctor, and the life of another wounded person entered the countdown, and the military doctor in charge of the knife prepared to freeze the head alone without thinking about it.

"Wait-" Ye Fei suddenly roared, and suddenly a lightning bolt in his brain split the shackles of his thinking, "Fifteen minutes to send her to the medical ship, will you be able to save her?" ”

Several military doctors looked at each other, and the chief knife military doctor hurriedly nodded: "The probability is very high, but it is not one hundred percent!" ”

"How long can it last without affecting freezing?"

"The maximum time is controlled within 10 minutes." The military doctor gave a more conservative answer.

"Give me ten minutes!" Ye Fei acted resolutely, "Black bear, I'm Ye Fei!" ”

"Black bear received, please speak."

"Centered on my location, find the closest lifeboat and send the location to everyone. Also, find a way to contact the Aquila right away! ”

"The interference with radio waves is too strong." The black bear immediately checked the ship's communication equipment, "There's a good laser cannon on the starboard side!" ”

The high-power launch of the laser cannon is a weapon, and the low-power emission can be used as a communication medium.

"Immediately contact the Aquila, launch a gravity bomb into the wreckage area, suck up all the debris near the wreckage of the Mirror Lake, and remind the Aquila to pay attention to the gravitational range and not to affect the wreckage of the Mirror Lake." Ye Fei couldn't wait to order, "Also, immediately order the nearby commandos to stay away immediately." ”

"I'll contact the Aquila right away." The black bear immediately ordered the fighters to operate the starboard laser cannon, which was aimed in the direction of the Aquila and sent a pulsed communication signal at extremely low power.

At the same time, the black bear personally found the distribution map of the equipment near the storage area and sent the location of an unused lifeboat to the systems of all team members.

After that, he didn't forget to inform the nearby commandos - the team members who could be contacted had already been pulled into the Mirror Lake by him, but he still yelled through the Mirror Lake's communication system to be on the safe side.

The Aquila, which was accidentally irradiated by the laser, almost directly turned on its main guns to counterattack, and hurriedly figured out the content of the communication, and everyone in the bridge was dumbfounded.

The gravity bullet has not been opened until now, not because I don't want to use it, but because I really can't find a place to use this new weapon.

He Jian cautiously asked, "Scissors, can the gravitational range be controlled after the gravity bomb is launched?" ”

"Theoretically, yes, but I don't know exactly how to do it, it's all done by the fire control system." Scissors tell the truth.

"Okay, time waits for no one, immediately launch the gravity bomb and inform the hospital ship to prepare for faster-than-light flight." He Jian made a quick decision, he believed Ye Fei's judgment.

The Aquila was so close to the wreckage that it would fly over its head for a moment of faster-than-light flight, so the hospital ship had to fly away from the wreckage at faster-than-light speed, leaving a certain distance and preparing to fly near the wreckage of the Mirror Lake.

The hospital ship can fly directly to the wreckage at the speed of light, but there are a large number of unexploded nuclear warheads hidden in the wreckage area, and even if the hospital ship is in a faster-than-light state, it does not dare to guarantee that it will not be affected, so it is better to clean up the debris insurance on the route first.

"Understood, gravity bullets, five seconds apart, three bursts ready to shoot - put!" (To be continued......)
