One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty-Two Return at Full Speed

"Understood, I will confirm their situation as soon as possible!" Luo Qi moved away a little and made a continue gesture to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier immediately moved forward and continued to dig the hole. The powder was flying everywhere, and after a while, the hole was enlarged to the size of a fist.

The soldier suddenly said in surprise: "Batalion Commander, look!"

"What's wrong?" Luo Qi hurried up, and when he poked his head, he saw seven bright people floating neatly in the cave!

Why do you say that? Because the seven people were neatly bundled together like seven chopsticks, probably because the temperature was relatively high, they looked particularly bright on the night vision device.

It may be that the loss of air caused airflow interference, but the seven people were still spinning slowly in the air. As several people turned slowly, a bright red light leaked from the cracks in the armor.

"What is this?" Luo Qi blurted out in shock.

"What's wrong?" Ye Han asked urgently.

"I don't know how to say it, just watch it yourself." Luo Qi immediately sent the video signal to Ye Han.

All the light sources in Base No. 1 have been scrapped, and there is no light inside the asteroid. How dark is it here? It's so dark that even low-light night vision devices won't work!

The power armor uses low-light and infrared dual-imaging night vision devices, but in this damn place, I can't even see my fingers!

In other words, not only was there no light in the asteroid, but the temperature was extremely low. In the end, the soldiers had to use the light source on the armor to solve the problem of sight.

The light source on the armor is a dedicated weak light source that is completely invisible to the naked eye, but it can provide the most basic working light for night vision devices.

In this case, Luo Qi was surprised to find that the temperatures of the seven people were all very low, and there was an unknown light source in the middle.

Ye Han was equally surprised when he saw the ray of red light: "Go in and have a look!"

"Okay!" Luo Qi agreed and ducked to call the soldiers over to continue expanding the hole. At this moment, his armor suddenly sounded an alarm and detected alpha rays.

Luo Qi and Ye Han were stunned at the same time, and Ye Han immediately said: "Go back!"

Luo Qi immediately followed the instructions. After the detector left the hole, the radiation readings dropped rapidly.

A flash of light flashed in Ye Han's mind: "It's plutonium.

It must be plutonium 238! "

"Yes!" Luo Qi also reacted, "It must be plutonium!"

"Quick, get them out!"

"Yes!" Luo Qi stopped calling for help and dug the door himself.

Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was very clear. The thing among the seven soldiers was definitely plutonium-238!

Plutonium-239 is usually used to make nuclear weapons and is one of the most important nuclear raw materials, while plutonium-238 is mainly used to make isotope batteries.

There was a problem with the reactor, and the entire No. 1 base lost power supply and life-support equipment failed. The soldiers could only survive by injecting hibernation.

However, hibernation is not freezing of the human body. Hibernation can cause the body temperature to drop, but it must not drop below 12 degrees, otherwise the body will be greatly damaged.

In order to maintain body temperature, the soldiers must have removed the plutonium from the isotope battery and used the temperature generated during the decay of plutonium-238 to prevent hypothermia during hibernation. (PS: Have you ever watched "The Martian"?)

To be honest, Ye Han really didn't have much hope before seeing the situation in the cave, but the actual situation was much better than expected. If everything goes well, all the soldiers need to do is lift their hibernation, and it won't take long for them to return to normal. .

This was the best news Ye Han received after the Leishan left Beiyuezhou.

Luo Qi dug a gap several times, climbed into the hiding hole impatiently, and pulled the seven people tied together to him.

At this time, he saw more details. In addition to a glowing object tied between several people, there were also several isotope batteries fixed on the ground, and several messy wires connected the batteries and the armor.

This is because they are afraid that the armor will lose power!

Luo Qi didn't have time to take a closer look and immediately inspected their armor.

Ye Han heard Luo Qi's surprised voice: "The armor is still working, their armor is still working!"

"Great!" Ye Han was excited, "Quickly, look at their situation!"

"Looking!" Luo Qi chose a person at random, pulled out a data cable from his own armor, and connected it to that person's armor.

A floating screen immediately appeared in front of him, and all the data of this suit of armor were listed on it.

Luo Qi didn't care about the condition of the armor at all and jumped directly to the most critical position, but his heartbeat, blood pressure and breathing were all at zero: "Master?"

Hibernation is not freezing. Although metabolism is slow, it is not zero. Generally speaking, the heartbeat after injecting hibernation is between 0.15 and 0.25 per minute.

Ordinary heart rate monitoring equipment cannot detect such a low heart rate at all, but the armor uses a special model, let alone 0.15 per minute, even if it is ten times lower, it will still not be able to avoid the detection of the equipment.

Ye Han was a little confused when he saw this scene: "Is the armor broken?"

"It's possible!" Luo Qi immediately pulled out the data cable and plugged it into another power armor.

The result is still the same.

Now both of them were confused. Ye Han said anxiously: "Isn't your data cable broken?"

"No!" Luo Qina said innocently, and immediately found the evidence, "The armor data are all normal, except that the heartbeat and blood pressure have returned to zero."

Luo Qi tried it one by one, and all seven people tried it. No one in the armor showed signs of life.

A bad premonition came to his mind, and Ye Han's face was gloomy: "Send the people out immediately, and dig the remaining holes quickly!" It was just a preliminary inspection at the moment, and it was not time for the final confirmation. Even if it was a dead horse, it had to be treated as a living horse.

There was only a first aid kit on the landing craft parked at Base No. 1, and there was no condition for rescue at all. Only the Leishan had medical equipment suitable for rescue.

"Yes!" Luo Qi agreed and immediately sent the people to the entrance of the cave.

At this time, people are more important than anything else.

Ye Han temporarily cut off the communication: "He Lu, how long will it take to get there?"

"About an hour."

"Adjust it, the sooner the better."

"Yes!" He Lu immediately arranged and quickly replied, "Captain, it can only be ten minutes in advance at most."

"Ten minutes is ten minutes, let's start." Ye Han said.

At the same time, Luo Qi in Base No. 1 had rushed to the second hiding hole.

The seal here has been opened, and a soldier is leaning on the hole to look inside.

Luo Qi patted the soldier on the shoulder: "What did you see?"

The soldier quickly stepped aside: "Nine people, and some equipment."

Luo Qi leaned over to take a look, and the situation inside was basically the same as the previous cave. He just had the idea of ​​going in, but stopped abruptly: "Take the people out as soon as possible and send them to the cave entrance to wait for the warship."
