Chapter 61: Direction of Restoration
Andy was already listening impatiently, the story had been told intermittently for more than an hour, although Akisha enjoyed it, after all, she needed to regain her ability to communicate, and as time went by, she could speak more and more fluently, but it was torture to the eyes of those who listened to her story.
"Can you make a long story short, you know we're here to restore everything here as soon as possible..."Akisha smiled awkwardly.
Actually, the rest of the story is very simple. The huge blue transparent light and shadow looked like a woman in a robe with long hair reaching the floor, and her eyes were very special... You can probably guess that it's Diana, or to be more precise, a projection of Diana. ”
"She asked me a lot of questions about why I was here and where I came from and who I was, but at that point I was almost completely stupefied, and what happened to me along the way caused me to be in a terrible state.... So, I replied in a rambling way, but luckily Diana didn't care much about that, she just said that if I wanted to get in here, I needed to do something for her. The string asked curiously, prolonging the story again, making Andy pat his forehead.
"What's the matter?" Achilla glanced at Andy for a moment, but continued.
"She told me that she had sent some robots to monitor the movements of some small tribes in the outer areas of the nursery.... But recently she noticed that there was a sudden large number of strange deaths in a tribe in the Colorara area that she had been following before, not only people were dying, but even Brahmin cows were dying, and she was more concerned about this matter, and wanted me to go over and look for clues. ”
"I told her I had no medical training, but Diana didn't care, she used some kind of strange device to shine at me, I.... I saw a lot of things in that light. After that I thought I knew something about medical care, and then she gave me new clothes and weapons for self-defense, and told me to re-enter through the spillway in the nursery when I finished my investigation, because the road would be closer. At this point, Andy didn't bother to interrupt her, it was better to hear the end.
"So what are your findings?" When asked, Andy had a guess in his mind that the sudden mass of deaths must be inseparable from the new plague, and Akisha's answer confirmed his suspicion.
"I'm going there... I don't know what Diana did, but the tribesmen thought I was some kind of messenger of the gods, and I examined the carcasses of the Brahmin cows and the dead men who had not yet had time to be abandoned by them, and they all had a large number of huge blue pustules, which were full of a foul-smelling blue juice. ”
"I brought the sample back, I didn't understand what the tribesmen said, but I probably understood that they thought it was a curse brought about by evil spirits roaming the wilderness, and those who had blue pustules on their bodies would die soon, I didn't think anything at the time but thought it was a malignant infectious disease, but I remembered it on the way.... I have something similar on me. Akisha showed the blue blisters on her neck, which were the size of a third of a fist.
"I was so scared of this that I followed the route Diana told me into the spillway, and found that at the end of it was an automated filtration facility, and the robot manager there said I was allowed in... I was curious to ask if there were any other people allowed to enter, and it told me that the last person who was allowed to enter had been in a few years ago, and that he had not been seen coming out of here. ”
"After that, I went to the nursery for the first time." Akisha sighed, as if she was still shocked by that scene, and Andy chords felt the same way.
"I saw the nursery, in the inner valley of the crater, which was completely green, and the mountains were full of all kinds of plants, and they were very dense... I saw a lake as blue as crystal, and everything was out of place with the barren yellow of the wasteland, and I knew I had come to a place like no other. There are rivers that flow down the cliffs, forming waterfalls, plunging into the beautiful lakes... There were artificial passages right next to the lake that connected the buildings behind the waterfall, but I couldn't see it very clearly further afield, and this was the view I saw when I first entered the nursery. Andy listened to this and recalled that what he encountered along the way was really similar to what Akisha had seen at the beginning.
By the time he arrived, the nursery had been badly damaged by the earthquake that had struck before, and it was far less beautiful and peaceful than Akisha had felt at the time.
Although the environment is still very beautiful, it has a little more treacherous. For example, the lake mentioned by Akisha is not a crystal lake now, and the water is now strangely black, and it looks like an unfathomable quagmire from the side.
Instead of the pre-war aquatic creatures, there are a large number of witch snakes, predatory mutated wasteland creatures that slaughter everything but their kind.
But it doesn't matter, Andy is interested in the other thing that Akisha said, now that Akisha has completed her mission, Diana should have the opportunity to analyze the new plague virus, so what will she study?
"So, you gave Diana a sample, did she tell you that she had developed an antidote to the virus? I see your symptoms, but you seem to be fine now, does that have anything to do with her? Akisha shook her head, then nodded.
"She did take the sample I gave her, but she seemed to think it was complicated... She also noticed that I was not feeling well, and gave me several different medications, which seemed to be mixtures or solid powders that she had extracted from certain plants in the nursery. I didn't get completely better after eating those things, but they did make me feel a lot better. ”
"As soon as the research began, disaster struck." Xian and Andy looked at each other, slightly shocked.
You know, the scientists of the Great Dome can say that they have done everything to survive the invasion of the virus, and even thought of using the freezer of the Great Dome to save their lives... The tonic paste developed later was originally the result of pre-war scientists, but it was only after a long period of research and experimentation by the scientists of the Great Dome that it finally achieved the desired effect now.
And Diana actually gave drugs that can suppress the new plague virus immediately after the first contact with the new plague virus, and her technical strength is unfathomable in comparison.
Akisha didn't notice the eye contact between the two, and just continued to talk about what happened after the nursery.
"There was a big earthquake, I was scared to death, I just thought that the whole valley was going to collapse completely because of the big earthquake, but fortunately it was built very strongly, and the worst did not happen." Xian nodded to indicate that they already knew about the situation on the way here.
"We've seen how much damage the earthquake caused to the nursery, and we're the same route you took when you first entered here, coming in from the spillway, where the robot manager is still working. So, what we want to know is how to wake up Diana, she should have the ability to fix this, but she's in a deep sleep now, right? Akisha didn't hide it.
"Yes... But is the spillway still working? .... Also, I guess there is a backup hydroelectric generator over there, and you actually convinced the rigid manager Pierre. Phew - I've been here for a long time looking for a way to get things back to normal, Diana was the one who asked me to come here and switch her backup energy to the sample bank, but after that she turned off her phone, I've been here for a long, long time, I'm sure you've seen it, I.... Wait, don't mess with my terminal! Andy Chord turned his head to see that the Cylinder Brain was browsing in front of Akisha's terminal.
"Who cares about you, you woman is so nagging, I already know everything!" The guy stinks and walks away from the front of the terminal.
"She's been tinkering here, and all the other minor problems have been solved, but there is only one problem that she still can't solve, and that is that the reservoir of this geothermal power plant seems to have been damaged by the earthquake.... Anyway, it's really troublesome, just put the direction of energy supply back in place, and let that guy who is eighty percent of a machine head mobilize a robot to repair it? Akisha ran to the terminal, frustrated to see that all the encryption she had set had been cracked, and even some private diaries had been read, and she couldn't help but feel angry.
"You voyeur bastard! If you do that, Diana will not only not be grateful for your help, but will want to kill you. Because the panel is more important to her than life, if the panel suffers because of your operation, it's all over! ”
