Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

As a professional anti-terrorism agent, Hui Jin's driving skills are very good, comparable to professional drivers. However, the crowded traffic on the road still successfully blocked her at one traffic light intersection again and again. The journey from the hotel to the port was short or long, and the two of them had been struggling for almost half an hour now.

"Oh my God, how could a fool run a red light and get into an accident in a place like this!" Seeing a SUV running a red light and a normal car collided with each other at the intersection ahead, causing another minivan behind A rear-end collision caused a series of car accidents, successfully blocking the intersection. Even Hui Jin, who was very calm, couldn't hold back a curse.

"Cohen, it's useless for us to be anxious in this situation. Why don't you touch my soft hair to relieve your irritability." Skadi twirled a bunch of hair and made a face at Ashes.

"Thanks, no need." Hui Jin took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyebrows. The car accident was quite tragic. The bodies of the SUV and the car were severely deformed. Even from a distance, the injured could be heard. Wail.She was so angry that she thought for a moment, then turned around and took out the first aid kit in the car, "Let's go rescue people!"

"Walk."

Skadi's strength was truly astonishing. She easily tore open the severely deformed SUV cab with her bare hands, dragged out the injured driver who was squeezed by the deformed body, and tore out the deformed car that could not be opened. The car door was removed and the driver who was knocked dazed inside was pulled out.Then he continued to rescue the passengers in the van behind him, which had the weakest structure and was deformed.

At this time, the traffic police and first aid personnel had not arrived yet. Fortunately, she and Hui Jin were professionals who had received complete battlefield first aid training, and they also had usable first aid equipment in their hands.

Seeing their actions, many car owners and passengers who were stuck here and could not move, after hesitating for a moment, got out of the car and joined the rescue. Some of them held fire extinguishers and stood guard next to the severely damaged vehicles to prevent fires. happened, some people with first aid knowledge stepped forward to help the two rescue the injured.

"Hell, aren't all vehicles in this world equipped with airbags..." Hui Jin looked at the owners of SUVs and cars lying unconscious on the ground with their heads bleeding and bleeding. None of their vehicles had airbag protection. Relying on the seat belt did not guarantee that they would survive the violent collision. The poor-quality window glass of the SUV created a large number of fragments in the collision and even scratched the driver's eyelids.

"I'm curious too." Skadi rolled her eyes when she heard her complaints. She didn't expect that the protection system of private vehicles on land was so poor.

"This is ashes. We found a serious car accident at the intersection of Port Avenue and Fourth Avenue. The roads in the area are very congested and local rescuers cannot arrive in a short time. There are a large number of seriously injured people in this pile-up car accident and urgent humanitarian assistance is needed. doctrine rescue.”

"Received, the Bad Guy has taken off and is preparing to lift and evacuate the injured. The situation has been reported to the city hall and all authorizations have been obtained."

……

So he was stuck in traffic all the way, and participated in the rescue of a serious traffic accident, saving two people with a total of six lives in three vehicles, and arrived at the Life Star docked at the port after being more than two hours late.

"Luckily you were blocked there, otherwise those people would have died." In the hangar of the Life Star, Alpha smiled and handed two cans of energy drinks to the two of them.

"All the wounded have been settled." Ashes took the drink and took a sip. This trip was a severe test of her first aid skills.

"The municipal hospital has received the injured, and the Siesta Travel Insurance Fund has advanced the initial treatment costs. Those people are at least safe."

"The level of safety protection of private cars in this land is too disgraceful. They don't even have airbags, so there is no way to provide effective protection."

"This is indeed an issue, and I have discussed it with Kelsey, and maybe in the not-too-distant future, we can do something about it."

After briefly communicating the relevant details of the rescue, Alpha took Skadi to the ship's infirmary. Here, she saw the Agor girl lying quietly on the bed.

"Shark...Laurentina...she's still alive...no, no, what's wrong with her..." Skadi recognized the figure immediately. She walked to the edge of the hospital bed eagerly and looked at this She was a comrade who she knew in the past but was not too familiar with. She was excited that she was not the only deep-sea hunter to survive that battle, but she was even more scared, fearing that she would not be able to wake up again.

"She was seriously injured. Someone injected an extremely high concentration of liquid Originium into her spinal cord, forcibly turning her into an infected person." Ceria told her the results of the examination.

"How is this possible...who did this..." Everyone noticed that the moment she heard the news, she tightened her grip on the lace of the sword box in her hand. It seemed that as long as she got a positive answer, she would rush straight to the scene. Go out and attack thousands of miles to take the opponent's head.

"Calm down, Skadi, this problem can't knock her down. Her vital signs are very stable. She is sleeping now because she has mental problems. For safety reasons, we injected her with a sedative to prevent She hurt herself."

"Okay..." Skadi nodded. She saw the readings on the instrument. At least these words she knew were true.

43. Conservative treatment

The medical technology used to cure people infected with ordinary ore disease does not have much significance for the current situation of the ghost shark. After all, no living thing on land can survive when a large amount of liquid source stone exists in its central nervous system. Normal life activities are maintained.

After the examination, Alpha did not approve any invasive treatment directly, and asked Seria and others to temporarily leave the isolation room in the infirmary. The reason is also very simple. The concentration of liquid source stone in the ghost shark's body is extremely high. If they rashly Performing invasive treatments without adequate protective measures poses as much of a threat to medical staff as direct exposure to high-concentration Source Stone pollution.

"Part of the analysis results are now available. The modifications received by the deep-sea hunters even include a very clever acquired genetic adjustment. This adjustment uses some means to knock out the relatively small amount of source stones in the Agor people's bodies." Genes related to life activities, and re-modulated their cytoplasmic inheritance. In the body cells of Ghost Shark and Skadi, I did not find the organelles used to metabolize Originium, nor the protein receptors on the cell membrane that transport Originium components. .”

Kelsey held the report sheet and stood next to the holographic report table in the laboratory and looked at the projection constructed by the equipment. "In other words, the ore disease infection of the ghost shark is essentially a physical infection. The combination of body cells and microscopic active Originium particles is basically due to the physical penetration and invasion of the cells by the active Originium particles themselves."

"At present, this is indeed a convincing conclusion. Therefore, the prognosis of her disease with the combination therapy I designed may be even more pessimistic than the traditional oriopathy control therapy. The most important cell membrane receptor inhibitor in the therapy, It doesn’t make sense on her.”

"The medicine is not suitable for the patient. There is really nothing we can do..." Kelsi sighed, "The effective treatment method that you mentioned will cause irreversible effects, is it the one you used on Captain Bozokas? technology?"

"Use construct-related technology to directly replace her spine that has been severely contaminated by the Origin Stone, and clean up the pollution in her body..." Alpha glanced at Scar, who was sitting silently beside the ghost shark's bed in the surveillance video. Di. "If she could return to a certain city in Agor, the medical staff in Agor would probably use similar ideas to deal with her problem."

"It's possible, Agor has enough skills."

"One more thing, Kelsey, do you recognize this thing?" Alpha asked Diesel to call up a new image. The image showed a very peculiar cell. The results of gene sequence comparison showed that both of them had This kind of cell exists, and the genetic material of the cell is very different from the two of them.

Kelsey reviewed some of the gene sequencing data and compared the most typical structural characteristics of cells. After a moment, she looked at Alpha with a serious look in her eyes, "All the classic gene sites are...those are active of heirloom cells."

"As expected." Alpha nodded, regardless of the reason why these cells appeared in their bodies, whether it was pollution received during the battle, or the symbiosis in the body that had been implanted during the transformation of the deep-sea hunters. Structure, this should be the reason why Haiji called the deep-sea hunter "blood relative" in the plot in her memory.

"That's not a good sign."

"If they agree, I can remove this influence..." Alpha muttered a few words, but did not continue.

Kelsey looked at her expression and nodded helplessly, "These things are the reason why they are called deep-sea hunters, and we should not arbitrarily criticize Agor's choices. Our so-called 'for- "They're good," is essentially no different from the transformation they received, and it's even more wishful thinking."

"That's what you mean."

Kelsey sighed and said to Alpha, "We should adopt the most conservative treatment plan, gradually remove the high-pressure liquid source stone in her spinal cord through assisted circulation, and then let her own body functions repair the damage on their own. "

"To be honest, the ability to repair trauma to a highly differentiated tissue like the nervous system on its own is really exaggerated."

……

Skadi was waiting outside the operating room of the Life Star, sitting on a seat in the ordinary treatment area. Through the small window on the cabin door, she could see the situation in the operating room. The treatment did not use the seemingly very The advanced all-in-one treatment device was executed personally by Kelsey and the Alpha, just the two of them.

They stripped off the strange nun's uniform on the ghost shark and sealed it in an exaggerated biosafety transport box. The strange nun's uniform always gave Skadi a strange and awkward feeling. Their kind of The cautious attitude also proved that her intuition was correct. It was a way for the people who hurt her to continue to influence and hurt her.

A device was attached to the spine of the ghost shark's back, and Scarty saw the two people adjusting some equipment, presumably performing a spinal tap on the ghost shark.Preparing to use some kind of technical means to slowly process the liquid source stone accumulated in her spine, they then connected the dialysis equipment to the ghost shark to filter her blood.Skadi knew that this was an operation that went through rigorous research and detailed design. Not everyone on the earth was as ignorant and backward as Agor's stereotype, but she still couldn't help but worry about the ghost shark.

"You and your compatriots are the toughest creatures I have ever seen. She will be fine." Seria, who was sitting at the desk next to her and watching the entire operation process on the computer, looked at her somewhat depressed expression. He looked at her and comforted her with a few words.

"Thank you..." Skadi looked at Ceria. She could see that the eyes of Vaifan in front of her were full of curiosity about herself and her compatriots, as well as various complex emotions, but she was not sure about her own. Emotions are well controlled.

……

Looking at Skadi, looking at the diagnostic report information of the ghost shark on the screen, and the information sent to her by Alpha, Ceria's mood was actually heavy. Deep Sea Hunter is the crystallization of Agor's life sciences and biotechnology. It is a miracle that people on land can never replicate.

But through them, Seria thought of Ifrit, the Loken water tank, and the inhumane research done by Rhine Life and other Colombian technology companies.

Her mood was very complicated. Alpha once told her that the structural technology including hers was only perfected after countless experiments and sacrifices.How should I view and consider whether my past views are really too conservative...

Many images flashed through her mind. She recalled Ifrit's heart-rending wails during human experiments one after another, the behavior and fate of Lorcan Williams, including Evely. The tragic experiences of those experimental subjects, including Te and Rosemary.But she also thought of the disappearing Originium crystals on Helmer's arm. Eyjafala, whose hearing had deteriorated due to mineral sickness, could now whisper to her friends. Wendigo, who originally had half of her body turned into Originium, had gained new powers. life, continue to fight for your ideals.

44.Farewell to Siesta

The treatment operation for Ghost Shark has been over for a few days. According to the data sensed by the probe pierced into her spinal cord, the content of liquid Originium in her body is intuitively and significantly declining, and her body's self-healing function is improving. Function normally and rebuild those damaged spinal nerves.

She had regained consciousness and was able to eat a small amount of normal food under Skadi's care, but her mental state was still poor and she showed a strange symptom of split personality. Although Skadi was beside her, At that time, no matter which personality she displayed, she would not show aggression, but it was obvious that her memory and way of thinking were affected by this symptom.

"Maybe we should ask the doctor to take a look at her, maybe it can have unexpected effects." Alpha said to Kelsey, and Kelsey was noncommittal.

Seria seems to have something on her mind in the past two days. Alpha can probably guess what she is thinking, but based on the tacit understanding between the two of them, as long as Seria does not take the initiative to express her confusion, Alpha will not disturb her. Speculation, but...

She has been running to the small library that was converted from an empty dormitory on the Star of Life these days, borrowing books on philosophy and sociology that Alpha brought from the past world. It can be seen that she is not blindly Daydreaming and self-defeating, she is purposefully searching for her own answers.

……

The holiday in Siesta for the Rhode Island group is almost over, and the cooperation negotiations with Siesta are going very smoothly.With the foreshadowing of this volcanic incident, Mayor Herman had a very friendly attitude towards everyone on the Rhode Island side.Rhode Island and Siesta have reached cooperation in the medical treatment of ore disease, as well as the volcano facility construction project planned by Alpha.

Alpha registered an industrial and mining company called Norman Industries in Siesta, and took pictures of the office building of V3 Industries, which was banned by Siesta City Hall and controlled by Cronin, as Norman Industries. Temporary headquarters.The office in Rhode Island also borrowed this building that no one in Alpha had occupied, saving a lot of trouble.

Since the volcanic geothermal power station and its related ancillary facilities are still under design, Alpha will not get the honorary vice mayor seat in the agreement for the time being, nor will he take any action to break ground. According to the agreement, Mayor Herman Will personally supervise the subsequent actions of Norman Industries.

The Bad Guy has made many flights in the past few days, returning Rhodes Island staff stationed in Iberia to their workplaces, returning some Rhodes Island operators on vacation to the ship, and also picking up unloaded passengers. Within a period of time, the affairs commissioner will be responsible for the entire Siesta affairs.

On the tarmac of the Life Star, Alpha saw the man she borrowed from Kelsey.

"Hey, Alpha, long time no see..." Uncle Fidia, wearing tactical sunglasses, walked off the Bad Guy carrying his shield and warhammer.

"Long time no see, ACE, have your boxing skills improved?"

"No matter how much progress I make, I can't beat you." ACE shrugged, "I'm the one responsible for fighting. Why did you think of bringing me here to do such a clerical job?"

"For many reasons, Kelsey also agreed with my idea."

In fact, Alpha finally chose to invite ACE to take charge of the affairs here. There are two main reasons. One is that as an old member who joined Rhode Island during its founding period, his position is firm enough and he will not easily sway to his side. The second is that he is the Rhode Island elite operator that I am most familiar with, so I can rest assured if I let him handle it.

"Okay, since you all think I have no problem, then I have no problem, haha." ACE laughed heartily twice.

"I have prepared some assistance. After all, I am representing a large-scale cooperation project, and even if there are not enough manpower, I will feel bald."

Kelsey handed him a document on the side, "This is temporary personnel authority. You have full control over the personnel affairs of the Rhode Island office in Siesta and make your own decisions. Follow-up support will be provided in the future." The mainland is arriving one after another, and the rest is what Alpha has prepared for you.”

……

In the conference room of the Life Star, Alpha activated the holographic projection equipment on the conference table.

"Boss, the new consciousness data set has been activated. I'm going to take a break and give you my time." Diesel's voice came from the loudspeaker in the conference room.

"sorry to bother you."

After a moment, the light screen on the holographic projector lit up, and a girl's figure appeared on the projector. She made an elegant skirt-lifting ceremony to everyone, "Conscious body, mention... report to you, Gray Commander of the Crows.”

"I'm also a former Gray Crow Commander now, Tifa."

"But please allow me to call you this once. This is what I want to do...Thank you for freeing me, whether it is the commander of Gray Crow or Ms. Vera's Sariel." The girl lowered her eyebrows for a moment. , and then she adjusted her state. Alpha's original identity and the image of Vera she now used left an impact in her heart that she did not want to forget.

"No problem, as long as it makes you happy, you can call me whatever you want. Tifa, I think Disel has shared the mission report with you. Are you ready to face this new world?"

"Well, I'm always ready."

The girl's image raised her head, and with the help of the office camera, she scanned everyone in the office. Finally, her eyes rested on Brother ACE, and her image turned around to face him.

"Uncle of Snake Tail, from today on, Tifa will provide you with the help we can."

ACE really didn't expect that Alpha would directly arrange for him to have a high-level artificial intelligence as his assistant.You must know that there is only one serious advanced artificial intelligence in Rhode Island, PRTS. The intelligent systems that assist the car are all designed and written by PRTS. PRTS can single-handedly coordinate many affairs in Rhode Island, and Alpha's artificial intelligence, which he has seen in the core city of Checheng, is definitely not much worse than PRTS.

This little girl seems to have some unknown past with her, but Brother ACE doesn't intend to delve into it unless the little girl mentions it herself, otherwise they can just do their job well.

"There are other things and various documents. I will introduce them to you one by one later."

……

The journey from Rhodes Island to Casimir has passed halfway, and it's time for the Life Star to set off.

45. Levi’s troubles

The Life Star has completed various supplies in Siesta and is ready to set off. The original plan was to provide Kjerag with long-distance communication broadcast towers. Alpha built two of them this time, one of which was It was installed on the volcano where Siesta had calmed down.This fully automated amplified broadcast tower will allow them to complete contact with Siesta when operating in the countries of Terra, and maintain contact with operators in Iberia in the south when operating in the northern countries.

In fact, the communications tower was an important factor in the city council's agreement to accept Project Alpha.

Most of the Rhodes Island ship's operators returned to Rhodes Island aboard the Bad Guy, which took off for the last time in Siesta. The Doctor, Skadi, and Eyjafala stayed behind and followed the Life Star. .The doctor plans to take the opportunity of detouring through Victoria and passing through Kjerag to pay a courtesy visit to the silver-grey boss of the Shiva Ash family; Skadi stays to take care of the ghost shark, which is slowly recovering; and Eyjafala stays. Continued involvement in the design of volcanic facilities.

Another interesting thing is that for some reasons, Kelsey almost rejected the employment application of Siesta's daughter Ceylon. In the end, she agreed to Rhodes for the sake of long-term cooperation with Siesta. The island accepted that resume.

But no one knew that what really calmed her mood was that after she put on the swimsuit chosen by Alpha for her that day, Doctor was kicked by Alpha and spent the whole day playing with Kelsey at the beach for 24 days. For hours, Alpha finally rented the same yacht for the two of them to go out to sea for a while.

Ceylon and Hei followed the Bad Guy and Kelsey directly back to Rhode Island. I wonder if Kelsey was worried about the doctor and did not agree to let Ceylan, who had a strange scandal, continue to stay with the doctor.
