Earth Era - v2 Chapter 403

Just as the Minister of Health said, after just a few days, Wang Hao received a new notification. His office has changed from outer space to a comprehensive space base orbiting the new Saturn, and a team of more than a dozen pathologists, microbiologists, and experienced clinicians is directly led by Wang Hao. In addition, there is a coordinator directly stationed here, responsible for solving the resource or personnel needs proposed by Wang Hao at any time.

The office and scientific research conditions here are undoubtedly much stronger than before. Apart from the fact that movement is still slightly restricted and the workplace still has a very high level of security, life here is no different from what it used to be.

With the addition of these people, Wang Hao’s work progress has been greatly accelerated. After only ten days, the analysis of the remains of all the crew members of the Nimbus spacecraft has been completed. At this time, Wang Hao divided the team into two parts. One part was responsible for tracing the cause of the disease, and the other part tried to find a cure for the disease.

Now that things have developed, Wang Hao’s team is no longer a pure scientific research institution, but a coordinating institution. There may be many factors in the pathogenesis of a disease. In the case of this incident, it may be caused by a combination of various factors such as the space environment, spacecraft environment, crew behavior, and various substances exposed to work. Yes, if you want to find out the truth, you need the cooperation of many departments. The same goes for finding a cure for the condition. It is not easy to cure a brand new disease, which also requires the cooperation of many scientists and departments.

So the coordinator assigned here becomes the busiest person on the team. A large number of requirements are generated every day, and he distributes them to different departments or research institutes to request assistance and monitor progress. Every day, a large amount of feedback information is also concentrated on him, and then distributed to different people in the team. , and finally all the information will be summarized here by Wang Hao, and Wang Hao will master the overall progress.

After the team was formed, the first to be called upon to assist was the numerous galaxy checkpoints run by the military. From now on, any spacecraft returning from outside the galaxy and all its crew members must first come to Wang Hao for inspection before being allowed to enter the Phoenix Galaxy. Perhaps because of the head of state’s direct attention, Wang Hao’s request was not rejected. The military leader happily agreed to this request.

Today is the day when the first spacecraft to return from outside the galaxy after the Nimbus spacecraft arrives. This spacecraft is also a heavy transport ship, the difference is that its destination galaxy is much closer than the Nimbus spacecraft, only less than four light-years away, so its overall sailing time is less than four years.

There are a total of twenty-three crew members in this ship. Now, they are all standing in front of Wang Hao. There is only a special glass barrier between the two sides.

These crew members did not die or suffer from some apparent disease like those of the Nimbus crew, and outwardly they remained healthy. But Wang Hao did not dare to take it lightly, because Wang Hao knew that the early manifestations of the disease he was investigating, named “atypical gene mutation syndrome”, were not obvious. If his speculation is true, the crew members in front of them may also have suffered from the early stage of this disease.

Under the scrutiny of Wang Hao and several colleagues, the twenty-three crew members in front of them were a little uneasy. This is understandable. Wang Hao knows that if he were surrounded by several warships and asked not to leave the spaceship under inexplicable circumstances, he was escorted all the way here without any explanation or communication. will be so.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao’s tone softened: “Don’t worry, the reason why you are invited here is that some things require your cooperation. After the investigation is over, I guarantee that you can go back safely.”

A tall young man with an extremely strong cheek line stepped forward and said a little uneasily: “Sir, I am the captain of the Feiyan spacecraft. I can guarantee that during the process of carrying out the material transfer mission, there is no one Where there are violations, uh, of course, we will definitely cooperate with your investigation, what do you want to know?”

Before the start of the inspection, Wang Hao’s team had obtained the flight log of the Feiyan spacecraft and the work log of each crew member in advance, and analyzed them in detail to confirm what the captain of the Feiyan spacecraft said. are all true. But Wang Hao didn’t care about those things. What Wang Hao cared about was just how the environment of the Feiyan spacecraft was similar to that of the Nimbus spacecraft.

“Who is your ship’s doctor?”

A man who looked a little unspeakable stood up: “Sir, it’s me.”

“During the execution of the mission, did you keep a true and detailed record of the physical health of all the crew members? Including any discomfort in any part of the crew that was brought up to you by any crew member.”

The doctor on the ship thought for a moment, and then said with some trepidation: “Sir, I can only guarantee that I have recorded all the cases where the crew members formally asked me for help. I did not record the complaints in daily life or in informal situations.”

“Can you recall those cases that you didn’t document?”

“Something can come to mind, but not quite.”

“Very well, tell me what you can recall.”

Although he didn’t know what Wang Hao’s purpose was, the doctor on board still didn’t dare to neglect, so he recalled carefully: “Not long after the departure – sorry, I can’t remember the specific time – David, the warehouseman, complained to me that his lower back was always sore…”

A fat blond man immediately exclaimed, “It was just an occasional twist of my waist, and now it’s completely healed.”

Wang Hao said with a smile as soft as possible: “It doesn’t matter, it’s just a record. You continue to speak.”

The ship doctor recounted all the cases he could recall, and one of Wang Hao’s subordinates made corresponding records. After inquiring about the doctor on board, Wang Hao instructed his subordinates to inquire about the physical condition of each crew member individually.

It’s been a few hours since all this was done. But the inspection is not over, it has just begun. The feeling of the human body is the most inaccurate. No matter how detailed the records are, it can only be used as a reference. In the end, it is necessary to rely on the data obtained by the instrument inspection to speak. So under Wang Hao’s arrangement, every crew member underwent the most detailed inspection and got the results five days later.

The inspection results made Wang Hao’s heart a little heavy. Gene sequencing data showed that the crew of the Jebi spacecraft also had almost the same genetic mutation symptoms as the Nimbus spacecraft in their bodies. It’s just that it seems to be in the early stage, and the site of the mutation is small, so there is no obvious symptom yet.

“Continue to observe.” Wang Hao sighed and made a decision: “Assume that the source of disease-causing radiation comes from outside the Phoenix Galaxy, and the Phoenix Galaxy is safe. Now that they have returned to the safe zone, I want to know about them. Will the course of the disease progress further. And, you can try to use them as living specimens to test various treatments.”

Through the inspection of experts from the engineering department and the mechanical department, Wang Hao can confirm that there is no possibility of some unknown radiation source inside the hull of the Nimbus spacecraft or the Feiyan spacecraft. Moreover, the target galaxies of the two spacecraft are not the same – the target galaxy of the Nimbus spacecraft is dominated by a yellow dwarf star in its prime, while the Jebi is an aging red giant star. That being the case, the only source of radiation that can be suspected is space.

This is not good news. If there is suddenly more disease-causing radiation in space that cannot be isolated by multiple layers of armor, and the disease progresses very rapidly, and there is no effective treatment, then there is no reason that only the Nimbus and Feiyan spacecraft will be affected. , while the rest of the spacecraft were safe and sound.

If this can be confirmed~www.mtlnovel.com~ I am afraid that the original plan to return to the solar system next year will have to be postponed. And if human civilization is unable to solve these threats for a long time, then human civilization may be trapped in the Phoenix Galaxy for a long time.

“Two months later, the Blue Danube passenger spacecraft will return to the Phoenix Galaxy from Galaxy 15, carrying a total of 1,329 passengers. I hope they will return safely…”

After receiving the notice that they could not leave for the time being and could only continue to stay here, the crew of the Feiyan spacecraft were a little uneasy, but under the comfort of the captain, people finally showed a cooperative attitude. However, the serious-looking doctors and researchers that kept appearing in the past few days, as well as the continuous examinations, and the various medicines that were continuously injected into the body, still made the crew’s nervousness climb to a peak.

Due to the confidentiality regulations, Wang Hao could not tell them what happened, but could only ask them to cooperate over and over again, and even had to communicate with the company they belonged to, and their superiors directly came forward to appease them, proposing that during the cooperation inspection period, The allowance was ten times the usual amount, which temporarily suppressed the unease.

Time passed quietly in constant discussions and experiments. More than a month later, when the Blue Danube spacecraft was about to arrive, Wang Hao got two news.

The first news is bad news. The treatment plans formulated by many experts have all failed in these crew members, and their mutated genes have never been repaired.

The second news can be regarded as good news. The news is that while the mutations have not been repaired, they have not continued to develop. This means that even if there is no cure, the disease will not have any impact on the lives of the crew.
