Son of the Stars

Chapter 199 Luxurious Enjoyment
It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng Yan is on the verge of life and death. Moreover, most of her body is already lying on the desk of the Ten Kings of Hell, and she is slapping the desk and asking these leaders in the underworld to quickly bring a cup of good tea.

If such a serious injury happened in any hospital on Earth, it would have attracted more than a dozen experts in the hospital. A group of directors would have to call their friends to tell others and rush into the emergency room to start treatment. The directors of the internal medicine department were covered in bruises. After arriving at the scene, they found that they were useless and dared not leave. With such serious injuries, you really don't know what other problems a patient could have.

What if?
But this is Mars, and the hospital experts have to crawl for at least 55 million kilometers, so when they arrive on Mars, they will definitely not just be covered in bruises. After 55 million kilometers of hardships, if the atoms that make up the experts' bodies can still form chemical bonds and make up a whole, then they are considered to be gifted and strong.

There are no experts on the Mars rover, but there is a medical AI. And it is a professional AI that has been specially trained to not only make medical decisions, but also directly perform medical actions and operate the integrated surgical rescue room in the Mars rover.

The Space Administration's requirements for this AI are "equivalent to the emergency and general surgery treatment capabilities of top large hospitals", and it is also required to have independent judgment and be able to override the astronauts' wishes when necessary and proactively provide treatment to ensure safety.

Its authority is much higher than that of doctors in the hospital.

The AI ​​with such outrageous authority is now trying its best to save Zheng Yan's life, and there are signs that it is becoming unstable.

AI used almost all the freeze-dried AB red blood cells stored in the rover to prepare 3000cc of suspended red blood cell solution. The robotic arm accurately injected Zheng Yan through twelve intravenous injections, including the jugular vein and one femoral vein. With rewarming and pressurized injection, Zheng Yan's blood volume returned to normal in just 85 seconds.

But while she was replying, she was still bleeding.

The laser burner in the Mars rover was not powerful enough to directly evaporate the blood at the wound and stop the bleeding by burning. So AI immediately decided to use more extreme means for treatment.

In the advanced integrated automatic operating room, the longest robotic arm poked its head out of the clean room and unceremoniously pushed aside Jin Yuzhe, who had just emerged from his space suit and was soaked in sweat. Amid Jin's continuous complaints of "Ai Xi Ba", the robotic arm pushed open the space suit repair tool box near the airtight cabin and found a bottle of quick-setting glue from it.

The three astronauts stared in amazement as the robotic arm carried the quick-setting glue and went into the operating room. Only after the robotic arm had completely returned to the operating room did they realize that something seemed to be wrong.

Why do we need to use quick-setting glue to rescue? It can't be that the AI ​​is malfunctioning and wants to glue the commander together like a broken doll? !
Valentina still had to control the Mars rover and could not move for the time being. Watanabe Masao and Jin Yuzhe rushed directly to the observation window next to the operating room and saw a scene that they could not understand.

The robot is applying quick-setting glue to the end of Zheng Yan's severed limb, and after each application of glue, a hemostatic clamp will be clamped tightly on it - its function is similar to that of a fixing clamp waiting for the woodworking glue to combine.

The scene was actually quite scary. After seeing the charred cross-section of Zheng Yan's thigh, Watanabe Masao and Jin Yuzhe felt their teeth numb and their hands weak - thanks to the mechanical exoskeleton outside the space suit, otherwise they might not have been able to move Zheng Yan from the ground back to the Mars rover.

And now, there were more than a dozen silver hemostat clamps on the cross-section of the charred and bleeding thigh. They were shaking in unison with Zheng Yan's involuntary convulsions, and the hemostat collided with each other, making a clattering sound.

One look at it gives me goosebumps all over my body, and one sound sends chills down my spine.

Watanabe Masao and Jin Yuzhe both had no medical background, but as adults, they knew that this was not something they could comment on. After thinking about it, since the Space Administration spent so much money to come up with such a thing, it was better than two engineers who had no medical knowledge at all.

Then the two middle-aged men who usually talk a lot returned to their seats without saying a word. "Why are you back?" Valentina looked at the sudden abnormal behavior of her two colleagues and became worried. "What's going on inside?"

"Generally... it's OK." Watanabe Masao couldn't help but want to vomit when he thought of the hemostatic forceps hanging on the flesh of Zheng Yan's thigh like chain mail. He took two deep breaths through his nose, then exhaled through his nostrils, calming his frightened heart with the breathing method used only in meditation, and then said, "Taking glue is indeed for medical purposes... The rescue scene is indeed not very good, you concentrate on driving."

Valentina wanted to ask for more details, but after hearing Jin Yuzhe and Watanabe Masao's painful gasps and desperate pleas, she finally gave up the idea of ​​asking in detail.

The rover was moving towards the base at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour. During the journey, Valentina conveyed the news of Zheng Yan's rescue to the base, Dawn 6 and the Earth Control Center. The recorder on Zheng Yan also faithfully fulfilled its mission, announcing to the whole universe that the first astronaut to set foot on the surface of Mars was Zheng Yan, and also sent out her speech on setting foot on Mars.

Anyway, there is no chance to regret.
-
The first news that Lu Chen and others who were waiting for feedback from Mars on Earth received was this kind of large-scale broadcast to unspecified people... This was indeed a bit unexpected. But on the bright side, this at least proved that Zheng Yan was still alive and had been rescued in time.

As for how future middle school students will learn and understand Zheng Yan’s words “It hurts so much”, that is something the education department needs to worry about - anyway, it is not the turn of those studying clinical and theoretical physics to worry about it.

If it really becomes part of the textbook, Lu Chen might have to give a lecture to those little kids who are either pre-puberty or entering puberty. At that time, he will definitely have a good talk with those little kids with acne on their faces, who when gathered together can pollute the air in the classroom to the point where the air is visibly dirty, about why Commander Zheng Yan said a swear word.

The imagination of the future has become an extremely luxurious thing in the present, and Lu Chen's luxury only lasted for a few seconds. Then, he and Mu Zhiran and others grabbed their hair with a worried look on their faces.

The academic committee and regulatory team still showed no signs of recovery, not even the possibility of it - many of them had just experienced a major breakdown, and fatigue and severe dizziness directly deprived them of the ability to work.

Human society is now in a de facto "disorganized state", which is even the worst case scenario beyond the one envisioned in Durkheim's goal. No one knows when human society as a whole can return to normal.

On top of this, the basic monitoring equipment that controls a large number of humans is reporting abnormal fevers on a large scale. So far, these devices have reported more than 3,600 cases of abnormally high fevers.

Of course, not every patient in these reports seems to suffer from quantum energy release syndrome, but to distinguish them from patients with quantum energy release syndrome one by one... Such intensity of work is not something that Lu Chen and his team can bear.

To identify and accurately isolate these possible patients requires the cooperation and calm coordination of the entire human society. But such cooperation... is almost impossible to achieve now.

Lu Chen scratched his hair in pain. Fortunately, there has not been a situation similar to Ruan Hongying's "explosion after heating up" in the orbit of Mars.

But if we continue to delay, the situation may not be certain.
