Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Gentlemen, the weather changes that have occurred at Rhodes Island have been confirmed to be a natural disaster."

Kal'tsit said gravely, "Rhodes Island now needs its professionals to analyze a feasible plan to try and avert the impending disaster."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat somber and bewildered.

This route was determined a month ago, after calculations by several experts in natural disasters, who concluded that it was safe.

But just as some signs of impending doom appeared, Kal'tsit immediately asserted that it was a natural disaster.

A pink-haired, resolute-looking Caprini woman lowered her head in deep thought, her two long antelope horns on her head standing out prominently.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, how did you learn of this?" the woman asked. "I did notice some unusual weather changes this morning and made a forecast, but it was only a suspicion, not a certainty."

"It was Qi Yan who discovered it," Kal'tsit said calmly.

The office fell silent for a moment.

The next second, everyone immediately pulled out pens and paper and began calculating the scale and movement of this natural disaster.

While everyone was still engrossed in their calculations, the professor slowly turned his head and gazed at the gradually darkening sky outside the window.

A few seconds later, he said, "Now that it has been confirmed as a natural disaster, according to my calculations, the speed of this weather change will increase. It is estimated that the ship will be completely within the disaster area in three minutes, and the first wave of the disaster will hit in ten minutes."

Everyone paused, simultaneously flipping aside the half-finished calculation sheets they were working on, and began to recalculate the types of natural disasters and their main outbreak locations.

Kal'tsit was not involved in these calculations. After a moment of contemplation, she said in a serious tone:

"We have too little time. The ships cannot safely turn around. We can only try to find the safest route in the disaster area and rush directly out of the disaster zone."

"It's crazy, but I like it."

The doctor smirked: "It can't just be the white-haired dog speeding through the prison; I'll try speeding through Rhodes Island today too."

Kal'tsit glanced indifferently at the Doctor, ignoring his ramblings.

At this moment, a little girl named Pello timidly raised her hand and asked:

"Why not ask Mr. Qi Yan for help?"

Before Kal'tsit could speak, the Doctor preemptively said:

"Qi Yan doesn't know anything about natural disasters. With his high school diploma, he wouldn't even be able to talk back if I called him a stupid dog."

When it comes to dealing with natural disasters, he's no match for any of you here!

The little girl, Pero, scratched her head blankly, wanting to explain that she didn't ask Qi Yan to calculate the natural disaster, but rather to eat it directly, just like in Colombia.

But after hesitating for a moment, she remained silent and obediently continued calculating her formula.

Kal'tsit turned to the Doctor and asked, "You've already calculated the result?"

Everyone in the office stopped writing instantly and looked at the doctor in surprise.

It's worth noting that the PhD student worked entirely empty-handed, without ever writing or calculating anything!

Chapter 193 Formula

The doctor slowly got up, walked to the window, and turned his back to everyone.

"of course not!"

The doctor let out a deep breath, causing everyone in the office to roll their eyes.

Then they saw the doctor raise a finger and gently shake it:

"Although I haven't figured out a safe route through the natural disaster, a formula has inexplicably come to mind that I can use in this situation."

Next, everyone, please follow my instructions and work together to deduce the scenario.

His words rekindled the spirits of everyone who had just fallen.

With each exchange, the heavy mood in everyone's hearts gradually eased, and they all looked at the doctor expectantly.

Faced with these expectant gazes, the doctor stopped his antics and quickly recalled their respective areas of expertise, assigning tasks to them one by one.

Outside the ship, muffled thunder began to echo.

No one wasted any more words in the office; only the scratching sound of pens tracing lines on paper remained.

Beside the pink-haired Caprini woman who had spoken first, another Caprini woman with a pair of cute little sheep horns suddenly stopped calculating.

"Senior Earth Spirit, this formula looks so familiar to me! I know the result!"

The little lamb was slightly excited and cautiously poked the pink-haired woman next to it.

The Earth Spirit paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Eyjafjalla, if I'm not mistaken, the formula the Doctor provided is completely new and has never been published in the industry before. Are you sure?"

"Yes, this is a completely new formula."

Eyjafjalla nodded, a hint of admiration in her expression: "But I happened to study a similar formula recently. This formula is far more complex and varied than mine, but I had a foundation, so I understood it much faster."

My results... should be fine.

The other people in the office were also drawn to the conversation between the two.

Everyone looked at Eyjafjalla with some curiosity.

They remembered that Eyjafjalla was an operator who joined Rhodes Island after the Chernobog incident, making her a complete newcomer.

"I never expected to be outshone by a newcomer."

A Liberian man scratched his head and chuckled, "Little girl, don't be nervous. Since you've figured it out, just announce it boldly. We believe in you."

The Doctor also walked over, nodded to Eyjafjalla, and encouraged her:

"Don't hesitate, those who do scientific research must have enough confidence in themselves, little lamb."

Eyjafjalla, feeling a little awkward from everyone's teasing, looked at the Doctor nervously and said:

"Bo... Senior, I've added my own understanding to your formula and arrived at this result. Please take a look!"

The professor took Eyjafjalla's calculation paper and carefully reviewed it.

The office fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the doctor.

The dull rumble of thunder seemed to explode right next to my ears.

Qi Yan covered her ears and hurried through the empty corridor towards the central area.

When he opened the gate to the central area, it was already full of agents who had come to take refuge. They sat quietly on the ground, looking tense but not too worried.

Until... they saw Qi Yan walk in.

"Holy crap, why is Qi Yan here? Shouldn't he be on the deck taking out his little natural disasters?"

"Brother Tianzai, I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now. Please calm down. I will kneel down before you when there are fewer people around."

"Mr. Qi Yan, why are you just watching?"

Facing the excited crowd, Qi Yan couldn't help but grin:

"You guys really think I'm a god?"

Even if I'm incredibly powerful, I couldn't possibly handle such a massive catastrophe, unless I jumped out and carried Rhodes Island away... Anyway, does anyone have earplugs? Lend me a few, please.

Kroos leaned over and handed Qi Yan four earplugs, then angrily questioned him:

"Why does everyone else get a gift but I don't? Warfarin even received Rhine Lab's research notes!"

Qi Yan put on the earplugs and looked at Kroos, whose face was covered in graffiti like a cat's, and asked in confusion:

"What's with all those turtle-like marks on your face? Are all young girls these days putting on such unique makeup?"

"It's all because of that bastard Yan Ke!"

Kroos yelled in frustration, "Don't change the subject! Where's my gift?!"

"Don't worry, your gift is too big to fit in the truck, so we can only ask Penguin Logistics to help with the shipping."

Qi Yan pushed Kroos aside, found an open space, and sat down obediently.

He had barely sat down when a blonde woman came over and sat down next to him.

Even as Rhodes Island was engulfed in a natural disaster, Vina, with her favorite lollipop dangling from her mouth, mumbled:

"Are you really just going to sit back and wait for the professor and the others to come up with a solution, without any intention of taking action?"

Even if you can't completely eliminate this natural disaster, you should at least be able to weaken it.

Looking at Vina, who was earnestly asking her question, Qi Yan countered with a question:

"Do you not trust the doctor and the others, or do you trust me too much?"

Vina frowned slightly.

She wanted to refute, but found that her mindset was exactly as Qi Yan said: she didn't trust the doctor and others' abilities enough, and she was also somewhat blindly reliant on Qi Yan.

"So, you're going to let go and let the Doctor and the others do their thing?" Vina asked uncertainly.

Qi Yan shook his head: "Trust is one thing, but if the Doctor and the others really get into trouble, I will definitely help them. That's what teammates are all about."

Vina remained silent, saying nothing more, and quietly ate her lollipop.

Seeing this, Qi Yan subconsciously spoke up to remind him:

"Rhodes Island is definitely going to shake violently next, be careful not to choke."

"Won't……"

Just as Vina was about to speak, she heard an unprecedented thunderclap in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Rhodes Island's ships began to tremble violently, the sky seemed to be covered by a giant hand, and the light quickly dimmed.

The howling wind sounded like the roar of some wild beast, whipping up sand and gravel that crashed against the Rhodes Island ships.

The earth trembled, the clouds churned in the sky, and purple lightning, like a winding dragon, pierced through layers of obstacles and struck the ground.

"Cough cough... Yes, cough cough, it's actually a thunderstorm disaster!"

Vina choked on the lollipop, and if Qi Yan hadn't reached out in time to grab the stick, she probably would have swallowed it whole.

Vina, ignoring the tears welling up from the choking, said urgently:

"This type of natural disaster is extremely destructive. Once struck by lightning, even with Rhodes Island's defenses, it will suffer irreparable damage."

Furthermore, the cyclones generated by the thunderstorms meant Rhodes Island's structure was simply no match for the tearing force of the storms!

"Yes, yes, I understand, it's terrifying."

Qi Yan patted Vina's back slowly and gently, helping her catch her breath.

"Why are you so calm?" Vina asked anxiously. "This is a natural disaster! Rhodes Island could really be destroyed here!"

"Because we have PhDs."

Qi Yan remained unmoved: "I made a forecast immediately. With so much time, Doctor must have already calculated the route of the snake within the disaster area. You can treat this disaster as a drill."

Furthermore, Vina, you should learn to stay calm. You are the future queen of Victoria; you can't just focus on appearances.

Chapter 194 Natural Disaster? Just a Plaything of the Doctor

Vina's expression froze.

It wasn't because Qi Yan knew her identity as the crown prince, but because of Qi Yan's reminder.

As Vina gradually regained her composure, she slowly realized the details she had previously overlooked.

Even though they knew Rhodes Island was plunging headlong into a catastrophe, Kal'tsit and the other leaders never considered turning back and leaving.

Because doing so would damage the structure of Rhodes Island's ships, even if they left the area affected by the Cataclysm, Rhodes Island would have to stay in the wilderness for a long time to repair them.

In other circumstances, patching things up is definitely much better than total annihilation.

But what if you can get through even if you enter the area affected by a natural disaster?

Rhodes Island's choice is, in fact, a sign of confidence.

"Can it really be done?"

Vina stared blankly at the apocalyptic scene outside the ship: "How can we calculate natural disasters with human power?"

The shaking of the Rhodes Island ships continues.

A terrifying cyclone, visible to the naked eye, raged across the land, as if a divine finger from the heavens had descended, ploughing across the earth and leaving scars.
