Son of the Stars

Chapter 185 Asking for help
The great collapse is sweeping across the entire human world at an unprecedented speed, and the entire human society is once again caught in a critical juncture of life and death overnight.

This is not even with emotional trepidation, but a very calm and objective description.

Take Dongyang City as an example. The entire city has now entered a state of complete collapse. The automatic machines are still working at their best. Almost all the screens and things that can make sounds in the city are repeatedly playing historical documentaries. The restraint equipment is also actively working, tying up the citizens who are trying to commit suicide and waiting for the arrival of the collection team.

But… Dongyang Special City’s 5 permanent shelter teams and temporary shelter teams are currently operating at only about %— teams are working hard to shelter the bound residents, and the number of residents waiting to be sheltered is still rising rapidly.

Currently, there are more than 1.2 million people waiting to be "harbored" and "transferred" by these 16 teams. If the situation does not improve, most of these 1.2 million people will die of thirst in a few days - hunger strike is also a form of suicide, and patients with major collapse will basically choose this way to "get rid of" when they are unable to move.

The number of cases is still increasing rapidly, and this figure is likely to rise to two million in a few hours.

"We have activated all the robots that can move autonomously, but the response speed is still not fast enough. The number of patients is more than a hundred times the maximum number of beds that can be provided for isolation and containment... The entire medical system has completely collapsed." Yang Weimin said seriously to his wife on the phone, "It is equally dangerous to stay anywhere now. There is no difference in risk between staying away from the crowd and staying close to the crowd. I will not leave my post."

Mrs. Yang Weimin on the other end of the phone nodded calmly, "Then I will continue to arrange for them to maintain order. If the situation gets completely out of control, then shut down all the reactors completely... No, I will have them perform an emergency meltdown and shut down now."

"It's up to you to decide." Yang Weimin answered casually, not at all like he was discussing with his wife the abandonment of the energy investment that accounts for the largest proportion of the entire Chongyang Heavy Industry. "Try to limit the scale of damage. The most important thing is always human life."

"I know that." Mrs. Yang Weimin paused, then asked directly, "How is your student? Has he figured out a solution?"

Yang Weimin told his wife about Lu Chen's forced landing in a residential area after spiraling up, and the subsequent collapse. But the most important part was what Lu Chen pulled Yang Weimin's clothes and forced him to "memorize"... Although Yang Weimin remembered it, he couldn't understand what it meant.

This is the case in the medical industry. After learning about a new pathogenic mechanism, it takes a long time for the entire medical system to develop corresponding drugs or treatment plans. It takes even longer for frontline clinicians to apply these new technologies in actual clinical work.

Now, Yang Weimin has learned a long list of inferences from his students, which sound quite credible. But he doesn't know what these inferences mean, and he doesn't understand how to transform them into treatment plans that can save patients with major collapse.

According to Lu Chen's reasoning, both the Great Collapse and Quantum Energy Release Syndrome fall within the cross-disciplinary scope of quantum mechanics and clinical medicine. Simply using historical documentaries to treat the ongoing Great Collapse is like looking for fish in a tree. Lu Chen said that the real effect comes from normal people watching the video together.

How should this "watching together" be defined? Do those who watch in the same room have to watch the same video together? If not in the same room, how big can the range be? If it must be a video, does it mean that certain special plots and stages may have better treatment effects? There are too many unknown things, even to the point where it is impossible to sort out the clues immediately. And Yang Weimin did not dare to try casually - the entire Dongyang Special City and even the entire human world have entered the final decompensation period before death, and are now breathing the last two dying breaths like sighs. As one of the few normal people, and one of the people in the entire human society who has the deepest understanding of the Great Collapse and Quantum Energy Release Syndrome, Yang Weimin did not dare to carry a screen around the city casually, trying to rely on the invisible and intangible quantum entangled state to treat the massive collapse that is erupting.

Yang Weimin only has this one chance, and if it doesn't work... then the human species will almost be extinct.

In order to obtain the most reliable solution, Yang Weimin took the unconscious Lu Chen and the entire emergency recovery team to look for someone in the city - Tang Qinglong or Mu Zhiran.

Tang Qinglong and Mu Zhiran may be the only two professionals in the entire Dongyang Special City who can fully understand what Lu Chen is talking about.

Normally, it would be very easy to find someone - just make a phone call or go to the other person's house and knock on the door. But now in Dongyang Special City, where the Great Collapse is raging, neither of these two options is feasible. The communication system is fully occupied by the emergency system, and the telephone communication channel is full of the sound of historical documentaries. As for the other person's house... Yang Weimin didn't dare to go in casually. Whether it is the lakeside female dormitory area of ​​Central University or the faculty and staff family area, they are all residential areas with the highest population density. Now these places are densely populated areas of the Great Collapse - just approaching them is equivalent to playing with your own life.

This matter made people feel a little uncomfortable and anxious. Emotionally, Yang Weimin certainly didn't want anything to happen to Tang Qinglong and Mu Zhiran, but from a realistic point of view, he really couldn't hold on to too much hope.

The convoy quickly arrived at Central University. Just as they approached the lakeside dormitory area, Yang Weimin heard bursts of screams.

A young girl was standing at the door of a checkpoint that was obviously set up selfishly. She was gesticulating towards a box-like device with messy wires and a screen that had several unknown functions. From time to time, she gave instructions in a tone that was almost like screaming.

For example, commands like “tie her up,” “there’s more to come,” and “Ahhhh.”

I have absolutely no idea what she is doing.

Hearing the sound of the vehicle, the girl with big green wavy hair turned her head subconsciously, and then jumped up on the spot like a madman, grabbing Yang Weimin with both hands.

"Come quickly, so many people... so many people are dead!"
