Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

"Andrew?!"

"Please reply if you receive it!!"

Bai Yixuan, who had not received a response for a long time, looked a little strange.

"One, retrieve the camera footage from Starship No. 2!" Bai Yixuan said in a deep voice.

As the captain of the six-man team, he naturally has permission to check the status of Andrew's starship.

The holographic image on the console changes quietly.

The scene in the cockpit of Starship No. 2 appeared in front of everyone.

Empty.

When seeing this scene, the expressions of Bai Yixuan and the other three people changed.

At this moment, what Professor Lu said on the radio came to their minds.

‘According to Zero’s simulation results, the environment of Gale Crater in ancient times was very suitable, and primitive life was very likely to appear. Be careful of microbial infection when transporting samples! ’

The impatient Hong Fan had already unbuckled his seat belt and stood up.

"Something must have happened!"

"I'm going to help them right now!"

With that said, Hong Fan turned around and walked towards the cabinet on the side.

In the cabinet, there are three clean spacesuits.

"Stop!" Bai Yixuan's face darkened and he shouted loudly, "Hong Fan! Come back here!"

"We haven't figured out the situation yet, so don't act rashly!"

Hong Fan turned his head and looked at the gloomy Bai Yixuan anxiously: "Captain! But..."

"return!"

Bai Yixuan's voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm.

Looking at Bai Yixuan, who was completely different from usual, Hong Fan took a deep breath and turned back to his seat.

"First, retrieve the vital signs data of Andrew, Bruno and Joey." Bai Yixuan ordered in an orderly manner, "Search the cameras on the entire ship and find their locations for me."

The hologram split into two.

On the left, there is a constantly flashing picture of the interior of Starship No. 2.

On the right are the vital signs data of the three astronauts.

When they saw the pulse and body temperature data of the three people, the expressions of Bai Yixuan and the others turned a little worse again.

Something happened!

The body temperatures of the three astronauts were above 40 degrees!

Hong Fan opened his mouth and took a deep breath: "Captain Bai, I..."

Halfway through his words, a sudden feeling of dizziness came over him.

He swayed, his vision went dark, and he fell down in his seat!

"Hong Fan!"

This scene made Bai Yixuan, who was originally calm, a little unable to hold back.

He quickly turned his head and glanced at Hong Fan's watch.

Body temperature: 38 degrees Celsius.

"Fuck!" Bai Yixuan cursed with an ugly look on his face.

Although he has been on Mars for several months, this is the first time he has encountered such a scene.

"team leader!"

Xia Wanyi's panicked voice came from the other side: "Ask for help!"

A very slight feeling of dizziness came.

At this time, this slight feeling of dizziness immediately set off alarm bells in his heart!

His expression changed drastically, and in just a moment, he thought of the problem!

"Quick! Hold your breath and find the oxygen mask!"

"The air inside the spacecraft is polluted!"

Xia Wanyi didn't have time to think too much. Following Bai Yixuan's instructions, she stood up and walked towards the oxygen mask after holding her breath.

One step, two steps, three steps...

As soon as I walked to the cabinet, I felt a severe dizziness.

Xia Wanyi had no time to say anything and fell softly to the ground.

Hearing the thumping sound from behind, Bai Yixuan's face became even more ugly.

I don’t know whether it was due to the influence of unknown microorganisms or due to holding my breath for a long time, but the dizziness increased rapidly.

While he pressed the communication button in front of him, he glanced at his watch.

37.8 degrees Celsius.

The next second, it was 37.9 degrees Celsius.

"Call Mars City, we are contaminated, repeat, we are contaminated!" Bai Yixuan shouted into the microphone in a hoarse voice, "The initial disinfection measures when entering the starship are ineffective!"

"The pollution method is initially determined to be airborne!"

"Help, help..."

The moment he finished speaking, he fainted in his seat.

The holographic image in front of the console is still switching.

Suddenly, the surveillance screen in Starship No. 2 stopped.

In the picture, Andrew and the three of them fell on the deck at the door of the cleaning room.

On the ground in front of the three of them, there was a drop of moist Martian sand that turned dark red!

…

After a few seconds.

The cameras inside the two starships began to rotate.

Zero's hologram appears inside the starship.

After "seeing" the drop of wet Martian sand on the deck of Starship 2, Zero's holographic image quickly dissipated.

At the same time, the hatches of the two Xuannv No. 2 ships slowly closed, and several faint blue flames appeared at the nozzles of the Hall thrusters.

The Xuannv 2 starship drew a curve in the air and flew towards Mars City.

…

Meanwhile, Mars City.

"Professor, something happened!"

Scenes of holographic images lined up in front of Lu Yongchang.

Among them, the starship's internal screen monitoring and driver's vital sign data occupy most of the screen.

"All six of Bai Yixuan's people were contaminated by unknown microorganisms."

"At present, the physical condition of the six people is unknown, and the type of microorganism is unknown. The source of infection is initially determined to be materials drilled underground in Gale Crater. The mode of transmission is initially determined to be airborne. It is extremely contagious!"

Before Lu Yongchang could speak, Ling had already finished describing the general situation: "I have controlled the two Xuannv No. 2 ships to fly back."

After just a few milliseconds of reaction time, Lv Yongchang's face suddenly changed!

Subconsciously, he continued his habit on Earth and used his hands to prop up the table, trying to stand up with the help of this reaction force.

Bang!

Because of the weak gravity of Mars, he "jumped" directly from the office chair.

The office chair was also pushed to the ground by this huge force.

"Hiss..." Lv Yongchang's mouth twitched.

There was a throbbing pain from the place where he collided with the office chair.

Obviously, Lv Yongchang had no time to take care of these trivial matters at this time.

"Zero, open Mars City Port No. 10 and quickly evacuate the remaining personnel there." Lv Yongchang ordered hurriedly, "Sound the first-level warning for Mars City."

"All disinfection work will be carried out by robots."

"Cut off the air circulation equipment at Port No. 10 and never let it spread!"

"Let all researchers in the biological laboratory gather outside Port No. 10!"

"Got it, professor!"

The moment Zero's voice fell, all the lights in Mars City turned into a dangerous red, and a shrill alarm sounded from the loudspeakers in the city.

At the same time, whether it was the researchers in the laboratory or the pilots preparing to land on the starship, as long as there was a holographic projection generator, they saw a bright red holographic image.

After seeing the microbial invasion and contamination incident described in the holographic image, the faces of every resident of Mars City changed!
