Chapter 173: Rescuing the Clones

When the detector reaches the vicinity of the metal sphere,

As a rule, the sound is listened to first with a sonar detection device.

Look at the metal ball, whether there is any movement,

It's a pity that after listening carefully for a while,

There was no sound of movement coming from inside.

This situation made Yang Meng a little disappointed,

"Isn't there any living creature in there?"

"Xiao Yin, go to the next step!"

Soon the probe found the hatch,

Through the previous opening method, the opening process is prepared.

After doing a good job of air tightness protection, the detector immediately detected the specified device of the hatch.

"The locking device is really in a state of detachment!"

Seeing that the barometric cabin door of this metal sphere is also locked like the previous metal sphere,

Yang Mengsuo paused for a moment and said:

"Go ahead!"

"Understood!"

At this time, he watched the small light of the screen with Yang Meng, looked at the flashes that kept appearing on the screen, and asked with a flash:

"The way the cabin was opened this time seems to be different from the last time?"

"It's different, last time I used a drill,

Although this method is very efficient,

But for such a metal ball, the drill bit will cause a lot of movement,

And it's very close to the gathering area of those metal balls.

In case there is still something alive inside, it is a matter of more than worth the cost to detect and expose the sound caused by the drill! ”

"I see!"

Looking at the extremely bright fire light on the screen, Xiaoguang suddenly understood something,

Under the sparkle of blue-white light,

Soon, a large gap was cut in the door of the barometer.

At this point,

The probe and energy equipment entered the barochamber in an orderly manner along this gap.

And as the brightness of the light in the screen returns to normal,

Yang Meng immediately noticed that the environment here was different from the previous barochamber.

"I didn't expect the lights here to be on, and it seems that the energy supply system of this metal ball is still in normal operation."

see that the energy system is normal,

Yang Meng operated the camera device to detect something back and forth in the baropressure chamber.

And the perspective of the image on the screen caused by his behavior is constantly changing.

This also attracted the attention of Xiaoguang on the side:

"What are you looking for?"

As soon as Xiaoguang's words came out, he saw that the picture stayed in one place,

Seeing the thing in the picture, the small light flickered:

"Surveillance probe!"

It has been with Yang Meng for decades,

During this period, Yang Mengshi often used this technique to observe it, and Xiaoguang was naturally very familiar with it.

Seeing that Xiaoguang recognized this thing, Yang Meng nodded, and then said to Xiao Yin: "

"Let's see if this thing is working!"

"Understood!"

With Xiao Yin's reply, a microrobot detached from the detection device and headed towards the location of the monitoring probe.

Although the monitoring device in the pressure chamber is different from the monitoring system used by Yang Meng in terms of morphology,

But after all, this is a technology that humans have, and it is fundamentally its own thing.

Therefore, when Xiao Yin dispatched a miniature robot, climbed onto the camera device, inserted one white and one yellow, and two metal probes into the monitoring device, he was soon able to intercept and analyze the signal.

In less than a dozen seconds,

Xiao Yin analyzed the results,

"The signaling path is not returning any data,

Preliminary judgment, the monitoring device handles the offline state! ”

"So, is it closed?"

Yang Meng couldn't judge the situation of the monitoring device,

For the sake of insurance, he can only let Xiao Yin, operating a microrobot, cut off the signal paths of all monitoring devices through physical means.

After getting the monitoring system in place,

Yang Meng checked the various equipment in the cabin again,

And then I was surprised to find that

Although the various devices in the barochamber are lit up screens,

The energy supply system is also very normal.

But whether it is the pressure displacement system or the gas circulation system, it is in a locked state.

"Ballast seems to be restricted!"

"Are you trying to trap the clones inside?"

Yang Meng frowned, although he had some bad premonitions in his heart, he didn't continue to speculate.

Instead, he continued to give instructions to Xiao Yin:

"Prepare to open the pressure chamber door!"

"Understood!"

The rest of the process is the same as when the first metal ball is opened.

First, the laser cut opened the eyes,

Then there is the micro-mechanical entry that opens the inner door.

As the inner door slowly opens,

A number 617 appeared on the wall opposite the hatch,

Seeing such a number, Yang Meng was stunned at first, and then watched the rover enter the corridor behind the door.

Because the lights in the corridor are still bright,

The rover has an extremely wide field of view,

Yang Meng saw the body lying on the ground at the end of the corridor at a glance, which made him forget to think about the meaning of that set of numbers.

"That body doesn't seem to show signs of decay."

"Xiao Yin, go over and take a look!"

"Understood!"

As the rover approaches,

The beating of Yang Meng's heart rate unconsciously accelerated, and the small light beside Yang Meng also flickered.

"Will it be alive!"

Looking at the humanoid creature that fell to the ground, Yang Meng Xiaoguang had such a thought at the same time.

And the reason why he had such an idea,

Or from the smooth skin of this human body,,

The clones encountered in the metal sphere earlier already had a large number of corpse spots on their bodies, and it didn't take much testing to tell that they were dead.

But at this time, the condition of this body seems to be so complete that even if it is dead, it may not be long after it has been lost.

The rover is slowly moving towards this body,

The condition of that body is becoming clearer and clearer.

"Its skin seems to be a little purple!"

Seeing this situation, Yang Meng suddenly thought of something and asked Xiao Yin:

"What percentage of oxygen is in the metal sphere at the current location?"

"About 9%!"

"It's so high!" Yang Meng was a little surprised,

Although compared to 21% of the Earth's environment,

At this moment, the oxygen environment is basically equivalent to the hypoxic environment.

But compared to the oxygen environment in the first metal sphere, which is almost equivalent to the oxygen environment of noble gases,

There's a lot of oxygen here.

"If there are clones living there, the oxygen ratio here should be about the same as that of Earth!"

"So what is the reason for the decrease in the proportion of oxygen!"

"Is it because there's something alive in it that runs out of oxygen, or is it because the process of decaying the corpse consumes oxygen?"

When Yang Meng was thinking about something,

The rover has come to the body, and Yang Meng also saw the face of the body clearly through the camera device.

Although its face is a little purple because of the lack of oxygen,

But I can still see that the face of this body is very exquisite,

In particular, the black one-piece leather coat wrapped around the body shows the graceful figure of this creature.

This kind of look, this body shape, put in the human world hundreds of years ago,

It can be regarded as a very beautiful "woman".

Seeing such a body, Yang Meng did not have any strange thoughts in his heart, but frowned slightly.

"This standard appearance is basically determined, this is a clone!"

And the reason why he is indifferent,

It's also because of this human copy of the clone, he has seen a lot,

The most beautiful "female" clone he had ever seen was far greater than the current body,

Especially when the gray forces in the asteroid belt were raging,

Clone customization is its gray pillar industry,

In the case of random modifications, any appearance can be cloned, even if the characters in the game anime are given enough price, it can be realized.

It can be said that as long as human beings are cloned through genetic control, there is almost no concept of ugliness.

Therefore, this delicate-looking and very beautiful "female" clone, for Yang Meng, who understands cloning technology, not only does not have any ideas, but has some resistance.

"Looks like a modeled product of rapid cloning technology......"

"Xiao Yin, determine the condition of this body!"

"Understood!"

With Yang Meng's instructions, Xiao Yin began to conduct some tests on this body,

"Heart rate and pulse detected!"

"Breath detected!"

……

Hearing that Xiao Yin detected that this clone was still alive, Yang Meng's face showed a look of surprise,

It took him so long and several detectors to finally come into contact with a living life,

"Even if it's a clone, if this clone can communicate......"

Just as he was thinking about something, Xiao Yin's warning suddenly appeared in his ears:

"Attention, this body is in very poor condition, and it may lose its vital signs at any time!"

"What caused this condition?"

"After preliminary testing,

It may be caused by lack of oxygen, hunger and thirst! ”

Seeing that this clone is about to die of hunger, thirst and lack of oxygen.

Yang Meng asked Xiao Yin to rescue the organism according to the designated plan.

Before detecting this metal ball,

Xiao Yin and Yang Meng discussed how to communicate when they encountered a living clone inside.

Considering the situation in the first metal ball, they had to prepare for the worst.

So this time the probe is very big and carries a lot of things.

In addition to the nuclear power battery pack, which provides energy for the metal balls,

They also carried some food, water, oxygen and even medical equipment.

Carry the hard currency necessary for these human bodies, for clones enclosed in metal spheres.

Even if the rover as an intruder is found,

You can also try to open up some communication channels through these things.

It's just that Jean, what Yang Meng didn't expect was that

The first clone encountered by the rover turned out to be in a half-dead state,

Although he also expected this situation,

But he was not sure that he would be able to save the clone from his near-death state by means of remote control.

After all, the cloning technology produced by fast cloning technology has a very short life span,

Even if you look beautiful on the outside, your internal organs may be aging.

"I don't know if the rescue can be successful!"

Looking at the screen, the rover gave the clone all kinds of medical equipment,

Yang Meng shook his head gently,

and not focusing on this clone,

Instead, Xiao Yin separated the rover and continued to march towards the inside of the metal ball.

"What a walk!"

On the side, Xiaoguang's attention was on rescuing the clones,

Therefore, I don't understand Yang Meng's behavior of abandoning this clone and continuing to probe inside.

"Maybe there's a better state in there!"

"Well, since it's like this, I'm going to see if this one of your people can wake up!"

When Yang Meng heard this, he didn't say much, and asked Xiao Yin to give Xiao Guang a screen perspective.

He continued to follow the lens of the detector and went deeper into the metal sphere.

Soon the rover encountered another body,

It's just that this body has been completely turned into a corpse after testing,

As for the reason for turning into a corpse, is it because of lack of oxygen or hunger and thirst?

Or maybe there are both reasons, and Yang Meng is unknown.

The rover continued to move inward, and more and more corpses were encountered.

Some of the features of death are also beginning to become apparent.

"There was no cannibalism,

And the more they gather, the longer it takes to die, it seems that the reason for the death of these clones is not just hunger and lack of oxygen? ”

Just when Yang Meng was still planning to continue watching from the perspective,

A familiar metal door stood in front of the detection device,

In the first metal sphere, such a round metal door also appeared,

In that metal sphere, behind the door was an extremely clean space, with only an irregular pebble in the space.

"So what's behind this door?"

Yang Meng was very curious.

Soon the metal door was slowly opened through a circular turnlock.

Inside is a white and bright scene,

"It's also a stone!"

I see something in the middle of the space that is emitting a green light,

Yang Meng was surprised, but he was not surprised,

Just when he wanted to continue probing, a small light flashed on the side and said:

"Your people have moved!"

Hearing such a voice, Yang Meng immediately reversed the picture.

"Where did it move?"

In Yang Meng's screen, the clone was still lying motionless on the ground.

However, it is worth noting that

Although the clones have not yet woken up,

But the state of the clone is much better than before, and the original purple skin has become ruddy.

"This clone just moved?" Yang Meng asked Xiao Yin:

"Yes!"

Xiao Yin reversed the picture a little,

Just now, when the rover hit the metal round door,

The clone's fingers moved slightly,

"It could be some kind of instinctive neural conditioning!" Xiao Yin explained.

"Conditioned reflex, is it related to opening the door?"

He couldn't be sure,

I'm not interested in opening and closing the door again,

After thinking for a few seconds,

Only then did he ask Xiao Yin about the status of this clone,

When it was learned that the clone's vital signs had stabilized and were in the recovery phase,

Yang Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Speaking of which, the vitality of this clone is also tenacious!"

In areas that have already been explored,

This clone is the only survivor,

And to meet such a surviving clone, Yang Meng also rushed to rejoice,

If he had arrived a little later, there might not have been any living clones in the metal sphere.

The situation here has not yet been detected.

Yang Meng also planned to continue to explore the white space,

But just as he was about to turn the screen,

In the salvage footage, the throat of the "female" clone appears to move.
