In the space capsule, after hearing the words of captain Zhai Zhigang, Liu Yang came over and took a look at the data on the temperature measuring gun.
37.3℃.
This is a very subtle number. Under normal circumstances, an adult's body temperature fluctuates between 36-37°C. If it exceeds 37.3°C, it is considered a fever state.
And 37.3 degrees Celsius is right in the middle.
Of course, this refers to normal circumstances.
If it is after exercise, it is normal for the body temperature to exceed 37.3 or even 38 degrees Celsius.
However, for the four-person team carrying out the manned space mission, there are not many tasks during the return stage, and the whole process is quite easy.
So theoretically, her body temperature should not exceed this number.
Looking at the temperature data on the thermometer gun, Liu Yang hesitated and said, "Captain, would you like to take another test? I don't feel anything abnormal about my body."
Although it is said that in a state of weightlessness, a person's body temperature will be higher than that of a normal person.
This phenomenon of increased body temperature is due to the fact that in a state of weightlessness, the astronaut's body has difficulty consuming excess heat, causing the core body temperature to gradually increase.
And sweat evaporates more slowly in space than on Earth, which explains why astronauts' body temperatures rise particularly quickly when performing activities on the International Space Station.
But on the Hanhai space shuttle, they are equipped with the most advanced life support system. Except for the problem of weightlessness that cannot be solved, all other conditions are simulated on the earth.
They are even so luxurious that they are equipped with a 24-hour ventilation and air circulation system.
This is a function that even the International Space Station does not have.
So under normal circumstances, their body temperature should be kept below 37 degrees while resting.
During the physical examination in the past week, the recorded data was indeed hovering between 36.8-37.1 degrees.
Hearing Liu Yang's request, Zhai Zhigang nodded, picked up the thermometer gun and measured her temperature again.
37.3.
The data displayed on the thermometer gun has not changed.
"It's still 37.3 degrees." Zhai Zhigang shook his head, picked up the infrared thermometer gun, pointed it at his forehead and tried it.
On the temperature display, a number jumped out.
37.2℃.
Seeing this number, he couldn't help but frown, and called Jiang Xinlin and Tang Haibo to the side, and measured their temperatures respectively.
37.2℃.
37.4℃.
Two different temperature figures came into view, which made Zhai Zhigang frown deeply, and the uneasiness in his heart began to emerge from the depths of his heart.
If it is said that Liu Yang's body temperature data has slightly increased, it does not mean anything.
However, the body temperatures of the four people traveling with us have increased slightly compared to the previous data. This situation is definitely worthy of vigilance.
After thinking for a moment, Zhai Zhigang opened the temperature table that recorded the past week or so and carefully reviewed the data.
But past temperature detection reports failed to provide him with clues.
In the last test report four hours ago, Liu Yang's temperature was still 37.0 degrees Celsius, and the temperatures of the three of them were also below 37 degrees Celsius.
Going forward, the data on the body temperature detection report almost always fluctuates around this level, and there are no too prominent or regular changes.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
Seeing Zhai Zhigang standing there with furrowed brows reading the body temperature report, Jiang Xinlin, the youngest, came over and asked.
After taking a long breath, Zhai Zhigang said with some concern: "The body temperature tests this time were slightly higher. Liu Yang and I were both at 37.3, you were at 37.4, and Hong Bo was at 37.2, which is 0.2-0.3 higher than the recorded data four hours ago.
Celsius."
Hearing this, Jiang Xinlin said in surprise: "37.4 degrees? But I don't feel any obvious problems with my body?"
For astronauts who have undergone rigorous training, being keenly aware of their own physical health is one of the core foundations.
Because in space, excessive fluctuations in core body temperature can affect physical and cognitive performance, and even be life-threatening.
Therefore, it is a skill that everyone must master to find out whether there is any health problem in their body in time.
After all, nothing is trivial in spaceflight, and if something unexpected happens, an elite astronaut may be lost.
Floating on the opposite side, Zhai Zhigang frowned slightly, and while recording today's body temperature detection data, he said: "Send the data back to Earth Headquarters first, and then continue to observe the situation and see what happens next."
"We will draw blood and do an electrocardiogram later to check the situation first."
"Also, if there is excrement today, collect some for a simple test to see if there are any problems."
After a slight pause, he continued: "In the following time, everyone should keep a close eye on their health. If any discomfort occurs, report it in time."
"Of course, there is no need to worry too much. The previous physical examination data were all normal. It has been more than a week. We should have passed the safety period. Just relax a little. Don't be anxious and cause the body to have abnormal body temperature or something."
In the space capsule, Liu and Yang nodded. They knew very well that anxiety would lead to a series of physical health problems.
Especially in this state, you may not have been infected originally, but if you become more anxious and worried, your body may simulate symptoms of infection.
This situation does not exist.
Sometimes you are clearly not sick, but you feel that you are sick, and then you can't find out even if you go to the hospital. In the end, your body collapses bit by bit.
Therefore, it is very important for astronauts to keep their mentality calm and calm when facing changes.
...
At the same time, on the other side.
Jinling, in Xia Shu Space Base.
"OK."
"I see."
"I will notify Academician Xu."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the office, Chang Huaxiang hung up the phone with a solemn expression and quickly opened his mailbox.
In the dedicated intranet mailbox of the space base, an encrypted email was flickering.
This is a signal that only occurs in emergencies, meaning they have encountered something that needs to be dealt with immediately.
The person who sent this email was the working group that maintained contact with the manned launch engineering team.
Quickly downloading the attachment in the email, and after entering the password to unlock it, Chang Huaxiang read the entire email with sharp eyes.
Immediately, he touched the red phone on the table and dialed the number of Xinghai Research Institute.
On the other side, in the office, Xu Chuan was reading the information sent by Xu Xiao about bionic smart prosthetics and brain-computer interface chips.
The girl was going to bring these two technologies to the market and asked him to help find out what areas needed to be addressed or 'optimized'.
After all, the value of these two technologies is immense, and launching them hastily may cause a series of problems.
In particular, brain-computer interface chip technology can be expanded into virtual reality technology if further research is continued.
Compared with the current interface chips that can only be used for medical treatment, it is no exaggeration to say that virtual reality technology can change the entire world and set off a new information revolution.
Let alone Xu Xiao, even he must be treated with caution.
At this moment, an urgent call rang in the office.
Hearing this different sound from the usual call, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, and then quickly picked up his phone from the table.
Unlike the red phones in TV movies, there is no so-called red line in his office.
After all, due to various reasons, his office and scientific research locations are not fixed. Even if he stays at the institute where he spends a lot of time, his daily stay will not exceed one-third of the total time, or even less.
So the red emergency line was pressed directly on his cell phone.
Therefore, the mobile phone he uses is specific. There are two kinds of ringtones for incoming calls, one is the normal daily phone call, and the other is the short and urgent ringtone now.
The latter means that someone called him through the emergency phone with something important.
And since he got this mobile phone, no one has ever made an emergency call to him. So much so that when he suddenly received an emergency call today, he almost didn't react.
"Hello."
After quickly connecting the phone, Xu Chuan asked in a calm voice.
"It's me, Chang Huaxiang."
On the other side of the phone, Academician Chang Huaxiang's voice came over: "Xuchuan, are you busy now? If not, come to the space base now. The four astronauts on the mission team have some abnormal health conditions. Maybe
Infected by those microorganisms on Mars."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and the thing he was most worried about appeared.
Those microbial life on Mars may cause harm to humans.
"Okay! I'll be there right away."
Xu Chuan agreed directly, without asking about the specific situation, and hurriedly hung up the phone, got up and hurried downstairs.
"Zheng Hai, come here now and take me to Xia Shu Space Base."
"Okay, I'll be downstairs right away."
...
The half-hour journey was not a long journey in the past, but today it made Xu Chuan feel anxious.
In the Hongqi car, he had already read the physical examination information of the landing team sent by Academician Chang Huaxiang, but as a non-professional, he had no way of understanding what exactly happened.
However, he was able to see the reports that the body temperatures of the four members who boarded the fire increased, and that suspected Martian microorganisms were detected in the excrement.
Arriving at Xia Shu Aerospace Base at lightning speed, Xu Chuan opened the car door and trotted towards Academician Chang Huaxiang's office.
Ignoring the knock on the door, he opened the door and walked in.
"What's going on? Chang Lao."
Looking up at Xu Chuan who was coming over, Academician Chang Huaxiang reached out and took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke with a hint of worry.
".....I can't be completely sure yet."
"Although the body temperatures of the four members of the fire landing team have risen slightly, traces of suspected Martian microorganisms were also detected in the excrement."
"But according to the four astronauts' own feedback, there is currently nothing abnormal about their physical and mental status, and they have no symptoms of the virus."
"In addition, no abnormalities were found in vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and blood sampling."
"Including weight, although it has been decreasing due to the weightlessness of space, the reduced values are within the allowable standard range."
After quickly recounting what he had learned so far, Academician Chang Huaxiang continued: "I have notified the medical staff. Professor Zhao Ming and Professor Chen Yunze should be arriving soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the office twice, and then two middle-aged men opened the door and walked in quickly.
"Academician Xu, Academician Chang."
Xu Chuan nodded, and after saying hello, he quickly asked: "How are the conditions of the four astronauts who boarded the spacecraft?"
Hearing this, Professor Zhao Ming did not waste any time and said quickly: "I can only say that judging from the basic physical examination report data they passed back, there is no problem with their current physical health."
"But judging from the body temperature detection report, the body temperature of the four astronauts did rise a day ago."
"However, considering the weightless environment of outer space and the fact that they have been on the space shuttle for more than two months, it may be normal for the body temperature to rise."
Xu Chuan: "What about the excrement test report? What are the chances of them being infected with those Martian microorganisms?"
On the side, Professor Chen Yunze, an expert in microbiology medicine, said: "From the test report of excrement, the probability of infection is relatively high. According to my personal speculation, the probability may be more than 85%."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "However, judging from the blood test reports, the probability of the four astronauts being infected with Martian microorganisms is extremely low. This is because their blood tests have not found any abnormalities for the time being."
Hearing this answer, Xu Chuan and Chang Huaxiang both frowned subconsciously.
"What do you think might be going on?"
Chen Yunze answered without thinking: "Parasite or symbiosis."
After a slight pause, he added a description: "Judging from the current physical examination data, the most likely possibility is microorganisms similar to Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan took a breath and said, "Does that mean those Martian microorganisms may be harmless to humans?"
He still knows about Enterobacteriaceae that live in the human intestines. They are a type of bacteria that assist human digestion.
Standing opposite, Professor Chen Yunze shook his head and said: "Not necessarily."
"The relationship between the human body and intestinal commensal bacteria is complex."
"Simply speaking, it can be divided into three categories. The first category is deep membrane bacteria, which are probiotics. They are beneficial to the human body and are indispensable to the human body. Under normal circumstances, they are the dominant bacteria, which have protection, nutrition, and immunity.
Regulation and other functions.”
"The second category is surface conditional pathogenic bacteria, which are microorganisms such as Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococcus that I just mentioned."
"When the human body is healthy and the intestinal flora is balanced, these bacteria will not cause harm to the human body."
"But when the intestinal flora are imbalanced, they attack the human body and cause various types of diseases."
"Finally, there is another type of pathogenic bacteria, the middle layer."
"As you can tell by their names, they are generally harmful to the human body and can cause diseases, such as Proteus, Pseudomonas and Clostridium perfringens."
"Currently, we are still unable to determine what type of Martian microorganisms may be parasitic or symbiotic on the four astronauts."
