The piercing sirens rang through the medical area, and more than a dozen doctors left one after another and rushed to their respective posts. Some doctors even wore only one shoe and covered themselves with medical coats as they ran. Dozens of nurses and assistant doctors flew around like frightened flies.
This is the highest-level alarm in the entire base, requiring important personnel to arrive at their posts within 3 minutes, and rest personnel to arrive at their posts within 5 minutes.
There is only one situation that can trigger this alarm, and that is an accident in one of the three special areas for exploring the real dreamland. The so-called accident has only one possibility, and that is death in a real dream.
Two of the three special areas are now empty, one of which is dedicated to Dr. Zero himself and has been idle for more than ten years. The only one enabled was Chu Jungui. The highest-level alarm means one thing: Chu Jungui died in a real dream.
An assistant doctor also rushed to the special area with the flow of people, but suddenly triggered the alarm when passing through the gate. But among the constant sirens, the new one seemed less harsh.
An elderly doctor rushed over, grabbed the assistant who was shrouded in red light, and said angrily: "Liu Jian, what are you doing here?"
Liu Jian was a little confused and said, "Isn't this an emergency call? I'm just going to the bathroom!"
The old doctor snorted and said, "The emergency call is only for regular doctors. You're still early! Go back quickly and you can't come in until your working hours. I will explain what happened this time."
Liu Jian thanked him and exited the gate. However, from where he was just now, he could already glimpse a corner of the special area and confirmed that the flashing alarm was the area where Chu Jungui was.
After walking out of the restricted area, he found a deserted corner, rolled up his sleeves, and a piece of skin suddenly shimmered and turned into a display screen. He quickly wrote a line on the interface window: Chu Jungui died in a real dream, exploring time...
He looked at the time and then filled in a number: 3 minutes.
The message flashed a few times, indicating that it was sent successfully, then dimmed, exhausted its energy, and returned to its normal skin. However, this piece of skin is obviously darker than the surrounding areas. There was a bathroom not far ahead of Liu Jian. He walked into a cubicle, rubbed the dead skin off his arms, threw it into the toilet, and watched it be flushed away. After waiting for a while, he walked out of the cubicle, washed the last traces on his arms on the sink, and then left and walked towards the dormitory area.
Above the special area, Dr. Zero was holding a cup of tea, standing in front of the huge screen, watching silently. The screen was divided into more than a dozen areas, one of which showed Chu Jungui lying quietly, with many areas of his body marked in eye-catching red.
A cold voice sounded behind the doctor: "Is this the person you chose to find? Three minutes, haha, it's about to break the record in history."
Dr. Zero stood quietly, as if he heard nothing, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Standing behind Dr. Zero is a woman with short hair, capable and neat, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to Su Yu. On her personal terminal, red dots were constantly lighting up. After looking at it for a while, she sneered: "From the time the alarm was raised to now, a total of thirteen secret messages have been sent to the outside world. Isn't this the research base with the highest level of confidentiality in the dynasty? They have all been infiltrated into a sieve. "
Dr. Zero took a slow sip of his tea and then noticed that it had gone cold.
The woman's voice became softer, "Would you like me to help you pull out all these mice?"
The doctor thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. Some of these rats are from the federation, some from the community, and some from other forces, but most of them are sent by our own people. We can't catch them all. I don’t care anymore.”
"Aren't you afraid that Micah Feng's incident will happen again?"
The doctor shook his head: "There is no need to formulate special rules for small-probability accidents."
"I heard that Mika always thought that his talent was unappreciated and he never got your attention, so he took the risk. He stole the sequence to prove that he noticed the precious treasure that you didn't realize."
The doctor continued to drink the cold tea, "I don't have to overwhelm everyone in every field. It's enough to do the things I'm interested in."
"Okay, whatever you want. I have to perform an operation on Chu Shigui down there. It's lucky for this kid that he happened to meet me here."
The doctor finally turned around, "No, I'll go."
"You??" The woman was surprised.
The doctor smiled and said, "I haven't touched a scalpel in 40 years, so it's not too unfamiliar."
In the same star field, alarms were also ringing in the federal secret research base, and many of the rows of medical cabins turned eye-catching red at the same time. Medical staff rushed back and forth, and several senior doctors screamed at the top of their lungs, giving orders to prepare the operating room.
On the other side of the area, each operating room had an in-use sign and was quickly filling up. Many staff are setting up cubicles in open areas and setting up temporary operating rooms.
Immediately afterwards, the medical cabins were pushed into the operating room one after another. The doctors directly hung the treatment equipment on the medical cabin, put on their glasses, put on their hands, and began to operate on the people in the medical cabin. As they move, the combined medical knife like a probe is inserted into the patient's body. If you zoom in on the probe, you can see more than a dozen combination instruments. This kind of probe can operate on single cells and represents the most cutting-edge technology of mankind so far.
At this time, a majestic figure walked in from outside the door. He glanced at the chaotic images in the hall and asked, "What's going on?"
An admiral rushed over and said: "Marshal Austin, the real dream suddenly experienced turmoil, and disasters in many areas were advanced. 76 of our 340 explorers were killed, and another 50 were seriously injured, and they are returning urgently. It is judged that the dream has changed. .”
Austin was a little surprised: "Change? It's two years ahead of schedule!"
"It's just a preliminary judgment, and it's not clear why it changed."
Austin said: "We still don't know the reason for the changes in the dream world. It's normal to do it sooner or later..."
Just then, Austin received a message. When he saw this news, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "He's actually dead? It seems like that kid is not very lucky."
He turned back and looked at Hathaway and Kun who were following behind him. The corners of his mouth turned up and he said, "You two are much luckier."
The admiral looked at Hathaway and Kun calmly and said, "In response to the changes in the dream world, we are preparing to launch Plan 3. Do you want to go to the command hall to watch?"
"Go and have a look."
After a while, the group came to the command hall upstairs. In the center of the hall was a holographic map, but most of the light spots were light spots. Some of the light spots extended a thin line and connected to form a larger light spot.
The general said: "It has been 4 years since the last change. During these 4 years, we have explored an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers and successfully established 11 temporary camps and 4 permanent camps. The largest The size of the camp has exceeded 20 people. The longest survival time of an individual is 118 days, and the longest survival time of a camp is 97 days. It has survived up to 5 disasters. So far, we have discovered a total of 17,099 strange objects of research value, successfully 1,344 research projects were launched.”
Austin nodded slightly.
The admiral continued: "According to past experience, after this dream change, there will be a turbulent period ranging from 7 to 10 hours, and then it will enter a stable period. We plan to deploy three groups of 10 exploration teams in advance during the turbulent period. Exploration and positioning. After entering the stable period, three core exploration teams of 50 people each will be put in. The core team members all have a record of surviving in the dream world for at least 100 days, have experienced one death, and their physical condition is still Good, it belongs to the best balance point of experience, wisdom and body."
The admiral paused, raised his voice a little, and said: "We have made a substantial breakthrough in the analysis of real dreams, which can slightly affect the content of real dreams. According to the calculations of the super mastermind Iridium, our core team this time has There is a 13% probability of placing it in the adjacent area! This will allow us to establish at least two 5-person teams in the secondary area, thus taking the lead!"
Austin also nodded slightly and said yes.
However, the admiral coughed and said: "Marshal, according to Parliament Resolution 1078, you cannot enter the real dream in any way without the consent of three-quarters of the members."
Austin also looked a little embarrassed. He looked back at Hathaway and said, "It's just that I accidentally died once while exploring, and my strength dropped by 3%."
The admiral said seriously: "Every ounce of your strength is the wealth of the entire federation and the entire human race!"
Hathaway sighed and said, "Is the punishment of death so serious?"
The admiral said: "In the earliest days, when normal exploration team members died in real dreams, their brain cells would die on a large scale, and their bodies would also suffer from multiple organ failure. A comprehensive assessment would lead to a 17% drop in intelligence and a 21% drop in health. Later, as the With increased investment in medical care and targeted training before entry, the average intelligence decline after death has been reduced to 9.7%, and the health decline has been reduced to 9.2%. Most exploration team members can withstand two deaths without affecting normal life, and three deaths Death can be done without affecting the quality of life. But that time with the Marshal..."
Austin interrupted him and said: "The Federation has already had special medical treatment, but it is very expensive and the resources are extremely limited. But I have applied for quotas for the two of you, so the death penalty is 3%."
Thinking of the special rules in real dreams, Kun's eyes lit up and he said: "Then I can enter multiple times? Haha! It seems that the time has come to make achievements!"
At this time, Crassus walked out of the shadows and said with a smile: "Although entering multiple times can gain the greatest advantage, it is better not to die if you can. After all, a 3% loss of intelligence is also very huge."
Kun flipped through the information that had just been sent to his hand, and suddenly whispered, "Wait, what did I see? This DS-L technology can repair an additional 0.4% of intelligence loss?"
Crassus said quietly from the side: "This is a self-funded project, the cost of the operation is 120 million."
Kun waved his hand and said: "What is money in front of intelligence? I will book this surgery three times first!"
"I want it too! 5 times!" Hathaway also came over at some point.
"Let's take a look, are there any similar projects?" The two of them got together and started looking for paid projects one by one. The unit price of every item on the list is higher than Crassus' entire net worth.
