"Understood, I will confirm their situation as soon as possible!" Luo Qi moved away a little and made a continue gesture to the soldiers beside him.
The soldier immediately moved forward and continued to dig the hole. The powder was flying everywhere, and after a while, the hole expanded to the size of a fist.
The soldier suddenly said in surprise: "Batalion Commander, look!"
"What's wrong?" Luo Qi hurried up, and when he poked his head, he saw seven bright people floating neatly in the cave!
Why do you say that? Because the seven people were neatly bundled together like seven chopsticks. Probably because the temperature was relatively high, they looked particularly bright on the night vision device.
Perhaps due to airflow interference caused by the loss of air, the seven people were still spinning slowly in the air. As several people slowly turned, a bright red light leaked from the gaps in the armor.
"What is this?" Luo Qi blurted out in shock.
"What's wrong?" Ye Han asked urgently.
"I don't know what to say, just watch it yourself." Luo Qi immediately sent the video signal to Ye Han.
All the light sources in Base No. 1 have been scrapped, and there is not a trace of light inside the asteroid. How dark is it here? It is so dark that even low-light night vision devices cannot work!
The power armor uses low-light and infrared dual-imaging night vision devices, but in this damn place, you can't even see your fingers!
In other words, there was not only no light in the asteroid, but the temperature was extremely low. In the end, the soldiers had to use the light source on the armor to solve the problem of sight.
The light source on the armor is a dedicated weak light source that is completely invisible to the naked eye, but it can provide the most basic working light for night vision devices.
Under such circumstances, Luo Qi was surprised to find that the temperatures of the seven people were all very high, and there was an unknown light source in the middle.
Ye Han was equally surprised when he saw the ray of red light: "Go in and have a look!"
"Okay!" Luo Qi agreed and ducked to call the soldiers over to continue expanding the hole. At this moment, his armor suddenly sounded an alarm and detected alpha rays.
Luo Qi and Ye Han were stunned at the same time, and Ye Han immediately said: "Go back!"
Luo Qi immediately followed the instructions. After the detector left the cave entrance, the radiation readings dropped rapidly.
A flash of light flashed in Ye Han's mind: "It's plutonium, it must be plutonium 238!"
"Yes!" Luo Qi also reacted, "It must be plutonium!"
"Quick, get them out!"
"Yes!" Luo Qi stopped calling anyone and dug the door himself.
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was very clear. The thing among the seven soldiers was definitely plutonium-238!
Plutonium-239 is usually used to make nuclear weapons and is one of the most important nuclear raw materials, while plutonium-238 is mainly used to make isotope batteries.
There was a problem with the reactor, and the entire No. 1 base lost power supply and life-support equipment failed. The soldiers could only survive by injecting hibernation.
However, hibernation is not freezing the human body. Hibernation can cause the body temperature to drop, but it must not drop below 12 degrees, otherwise the body will be greatly damaged.
In order to maintain body temperature, the soldiers must have removed the plutonium from the isotope battery and used the temperature generated during the decay of plutonium-238 to prevent hypothermia during hibernation. (PS: Have you watched "The Martian"?)
To be honest, before seeing the situation in the cave, Ye Han really didn't have much hope, but the actual situation was much better than expected. If everything goes well, all the soldiers need to do is lift their hibernation, and it won't take long for them to return to normal.
.
This is the best news Ye Han received after the Leishan left Beiyuezhou.
Luo Qi dug a gap several times, couldn't wait to climb into the hiding hole, and pulled the seven people tied together to him.
At this time, he saw more details. In addition to a glowing object tied between several people, there were also several isotope batteries fixed on the ground, and several messy wires connected the batteries and the armor.
This is because the armor is afraid of power outage!
Luo Qi didn't have time to take a closer look and immediately inspected their armor.
Ye Han heard Luo Qi's surprised voice: "The armor is still working, their armor is still working!"
"That's great!" Ye Han was excited, "Quickly, look at their situation!"
"Looking!" Luo Qi chose a person at random, pulled out a data cable from his own armor, and connected it to that person's armor.
A floating screen immediately appeared in front of him, and all the data of this suit of armor was listed on it.
Luo Qi didn't care about the condition of the armor at all and jumped directly to the most critical position, but his heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing were all at zero: "Commander?"
Hibernation is not freezing. Although metabolism is slow, it is not zero. Generally speaking, the heartbeat after hibernin injection is about 0.15 to 0.25 per minute.
Ordinary heart rate monitoring equipment simply cannot detect such a low heart rate, but the one used on the armor is a special model. Let alone 0.15 per minute, even if it is ten times lower, it still cannot avoid the detection of the equipment.
Ye Han was a little confused when he saw this scene: "Is the armor broken?"
"It's possible!" Luo Qi immediately pulled out the data cable and plugged it into another power armor.
The result is still the same.
Now both of them were confused. Ye Han said anxiously: "Isn't your data cable broken?"
"No!" Luo Qina said innocently, and immediately found the evidence, "The armor data are all normal, except for the heartbeat and blood pressure, which have returned to zero."
Luo Qi tried it one by one, and all seven people tried it. No one in the armor showed signs of life.
A bad premonition came to mind, and Ye Han's face was full of gloom: "Send the people out immediately and dig out the remaining holes!" It's just a preliminary inspection at the moment, and it's not the time for final confirmation, even if it's a dead horse,
Treat it like a living Malay doctor.
The landing craft parked at Base No. 1 only had first-aid kits and no conditions for rescue. Only the Leishan had medical equipment suitable for rescue.
"Yes!" Luo Qi agreed and immediately sent the person to the entrance of the cave.
At this time, people are more important than anything else.
Ye Han temporarily cut off the communication: "Where is the road? How long does it take to get there?"
"About an hour."
"Adjust it, the sooner the better."
"Yes!" He Lu immediately made arrangements and quickly replied, "Captain, we can only arrive ten minutes in advance at most."
"Ten minutes, ten minutes, let's get started." Ye Han said.
At the same time, Luo Qi from Base No. 1 had already rushed to the second hiding hole.
The seal here has been opened, and a soldier is leaning on the hole to look inside.
Luo Qi patted the soldier on the shoulder: "What did you see?"
The soldier quickly got out of the way: "Nine people and some equipment."
Luo Qi walked over to Mu and took a look. The situation inside was basically the same as the previous cave. He just had the idea of getting in, but stopped abruptly: "Bring the people out as soon as possible and send them to the entrance of the cave to wait for the battleship."
