Fifty minutes later, Leishan arrived at Base No. 1.
A landing craft immediately took off from Base No. 1 and returned to Leishan.
A few minutes later, Luo Qi rushed to the bridge: "Commander, I'm back!"
"Sit down." Confusion and seriousness appeared on Ye Han's face, "How is the situation?"
Luo Qi sat on the chair and replied while buckling his seat belt: "The tentacles are almost cleaned, seven hiding holes have been dug, and the remaining two have not been found."
"Where are the people? How many have been recovered?"
"Ninety-two, all on the landing craft." Luo Qi looked at Ye Han and cast a questioning look.
Ye Han raised his gaze: "Tell me, what's going on with everyone?"
Luo Qi pursed his lips: "It's very bad. Most people have no vital signs, and less than one-fifth are normal."
Ye Han rubbed the corners of his eyes: "He Lu, please make arrangements and send the normal ones to lift out of hibernation first."
"Yes!" He Lu agreed and immediately passed on Ye Han's order, emphasizing the issue of physical signs and asking the medical team not to make any mistakes.
People have already been sacrificed. If the medical team is allowed to torture the bodies of martyrs again, it will not be justified anywhere.
Ye Han's mouth was bitter: "What's going on in the hiding hole?"
Luo Qi said: "Some have air, some have no air, and the others are basically the same."
An idea flashed in Ye Han's mind: "Is it normal to have no air?"
Air, it must be air!
This makes sense.
Although I haven’t seen the bodies of the soldiers yet, the soldiers hiding in the hiding holes have made sufficient preparations. No matter how you look at it, they should not have been sacrificed. The only possibility is hypothermia, but this problem has been solved by plutonium-238
.
However, the heat released by plutonium-238 is limited and it is impossible to heat the entire hiding hole, so the soldiers huddled together and transferred the heat released by plutonium-238 to the armor through the contact between the armors.
In the hiding hole with air, the heat is transferred to the asteroid through the air, and is eventually absorbed by the asteroid itself. In the hiding hole without air, the heat can only be slowly dissipated through infrared radiation!
Therefore, the main culprit that killed the soldiers was air!
Luo Qi immediately realized what Ye Han was thinking, so he shook his head and said: "No, survivors were also found in the holes with air, and there were more survivors than in the holes without air."
Ye Han was stunned: "No?"
Luo Qi nodded slightly: "And they have been using isotope batteries to power the armor. The armor's life support system has been working normally. Even without plutonium heating, the body temperature cannot be too low."
"It's not body temperature?" Ye Han couldn't think of the reason at this time, so he could only put this issue aside for now, "Forget it, let the superiors check... Has the identity of the martyr been found out?"
"It's clear." Luo Qi nodded.
Ye Han noticed the hesitation on Luo Qi's face and couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Yes... that's it." Luo Qi lowered his voice subconsciously, "Sir, I have made an unusual discovery."
"explain!"
Luo Qi approached Ye Han and said, "Sir, I found that all those who have no vital signs have undergone cell fusion..."
"What?" Ye Han was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, "Are you serious?"
Luo Qi nodded solemnly: "How dare I say such nonsense? Several of them were transferred from our first division."
Ye Han's whole body was in bad shape. If it was like what Luo Qi said, things would be very serious.
What is hibernating? Hibernating is an important support for human beings to navigate the universe; what about cell fusion? It is also of great significance to human aerospace engineering.
If injection of hibernation after cell fusion can lead to death, it will be a huge blow to the human aerospace industry!
Thinking about it more carefully, Ye Han couldn't help but feel scared.
When he arrived, Ye Han never ordered hibernation due to various reasons. If it hadn't been for some mistake, all he had to say at that time would have killed hundreds of people on the ship.
He didn't die on the battlefield against aliens, but he died unjustly because of being injected with hibernation. Where the hell can he get an explanation?
He couldn't help but touch his neck, feeling as if he had just walked on a knife's edge.
Luo Qi said again: "Teacher, look at this..."
Ye Han waved his hand: "Who else knows about this?"
"There are two soldiers who are checking the identity of martyrs with me."
"Immediately issue a gag order. No one is allowed to tell anyone about this situation without my permission!"
"I've already explained it," Luo Qi said.
Ye Han nodded slightly, took out something like a gas mask and put it on his face.
Luo Qi's heart trembled and he quickly stayed away from Ye Han.
This thing that looks like a mask is actually a secure communication device. When worn, it can ensure that not a word of what the user says can be transmitted.
Ye Han fastened the mask and started the device. After everything was ready, he set the communication authority to the highest level: "Bei Yuezhou, I am Ye Han, the captain of the Leishan..."
He explained the cause and effect carefully, listened to it again to make sure nothing was missed, and then sent this passage back to Beiyuezhou.
Next, it depends on how Beiyuezhou handles it, whether to stop cell fusion or stop using hibernin... No, he remembered that when he was in Nanyuezhou, Professor Qin once said that after accepting cell fusion, people can obtain
The ability to hibernate autonomously. Could it be said that this state of not having any physical signs is related to hibernating autonomously?
That's not right. In order to improve the physique of the soldiers, the superiors would rather Ye Han command the Leishan than send out the fleet. The few people who were finally snatched have also undergone cell fusion.
Base No. 1 is so important that it is impossible for the superiors to send soldiers who have not been fused... But that is not necessarily the case. The construction of Base No. 1 is not to fight with aliens. In case there is a shortage of professionals, a group of soldiers who have not accepted fusion will be temporarily transferred.
What about?
It is also possible that the mission is urgent and some of the people sent to Base No. 1 have not yet completed the fusion, which leads to two different situations: those with physical signs and those without physical signs... It seems wrong. Autonomous hibernation is not cryonics. The most common physical signs are
It’s almost like injecting hibernating hormone. How could there be no physical signs at all?
Thinking of this, he immediately added another message, hoping that Beiyuezhou would check in this direction.
After taking off the mask, Ye Han called Luo Qi: "There are still two holes. You should go back to Base No. 1 to take command on site and bring people back as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Luo Qi agreed, unbuckled his seat belt and floated away from the bridge.
After Luo Qi left, Ye Han said again: "He Lu, send a message to the medical team..."
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and He Lu asked doubtfully: "Captain, what message should you send to the medical team?"
Ye Han suddenly shook his head, unbuckled his seat belt and said, "No, I'll go there myself... He Lu, I'll leave the bridge to you."
