Chapter 176 Despair
"Cough cough cough cough" A rescuer coughed violently, and a few drops of blood rolled down the inner wall of the helmet towards his collar under the action of gravity, leaving a few winding bloodstains on the helmet, "It started again, give me an EMP!"
Although the rescuers were all wearing expensive and extremely tight nano protective suits, these nano protective suits could not protect them 100%, but could only hinder the nanorobots from attacking them.
By now, the nano protective suits have been riddled with holes at the microscopic level, and the protective effect has been greatly weakened. Many rescuers rely purely on their bodies to resist the attacks of nanorobots.
But the coalition government has no way.
The coalition government has never expected such a large-scale nanorobot leak, so it did not prepare a large number of nano protective suits in advance. It is the limit to ensure that everyone participating in the rescue operation now has one set.
The United Government ordered MOSS to increase the production of nano protective clothing, but the increased production could not be given to the rescue teams that were already performing tasks in the area, because the nanorobots spread very quickly. The United Government needed to maximize the number of rescue teams performing tasks, and the newly produced nano protective clothing should be given priority to the rescue teams waiting outside without even a set of protective clothing.
"EMP is ready, come quickly." The rescue team standing in front of the EMP suit shouted, "Who else feels unwell, come together!"
As time went on, the number of rescue teams near the Nanotechnology Institute increased to 946, from various countries. They had been working in this area for more than three hours, but they still had not extinguished the nanorobots leaked from the laboratory.
The effect of EMP is getting worse and worse.
Take the rescue team members as an example. On average, each person received two EMP treatments. Some rescue team members close to the main leakage area even received five EMP treatments, and the interval between treatments was getting shorter and shorter.
The Devourer of Planets is a group of nanorobots based on evolutionary algorithms. Among them, nanorobots that can adapt to EMP have more opportunities to replicate themselves. In other words, the Devourer of Planets is constantly evolving under the attack of EMP and is becoming more and more resistant to EMP.
Although EMP can cause damage to Devourer of Planets anyway under the constraints of physical rules, as time goes by, the damage to Devourer of Planets by EMP becomes smaller and smaller. In the end, I am afraid that even the nanorobots in the bodies of the rescue team members cannot be eliminated.
The shorter and shorter intervals between the rescue team members receiving EMP treatment are proof of this. The reason for the shorter intervals is that the last EMP treatment did not completely eliminate the nanorobots in their bodies, and the number of nanorobots in the air is increasing due to the improvement of EMP resistance.
This is a cruel war without gunpowder smoke. If it goes on like this, all those who participated in the rescue operation will not have a good end.
"A new batch of aid materials has arrived. The next is a 90-minute window period. The diffusion radius of the nanorobots has reached 26.2 kilometers. All rescue teams will set off immediately and go to the new coordinates displayed on the personal terminal to perform the cleaning task!"
The commander's calm voice came from the communication channel, and the rescue teams packed up their equipment and got on the car.
The vehicle is a special vehicle urgently airdropped by the United Government. Its scientific name is Beast X30. It has no circuits inside and is immune to EMP. The only disadvantage is that it has no built-in smart chip and its controllability is relatively poor.
Fortunately, because the rescue team kept launching EMP, the number of nanorobots increased slowly and the damage to the road was relatively small, so the poor handling of the Beast X30 did not affect the rescue team driving them to various places.
"Nanorobots, invisible and intangible, but can kill people, just like fucking ghosts." The CN231-10 rescue team boarded the Beast X30 and nervously rushed to the new mission site three kilometers away. One of the team members burst out with swear words under great pressure.
His name is Wang Fan, with the rank of second lieutenant.
His father is Wang Lei, who once participated in the emergency rescue operations of the United Government, but at that time they dealt with visible crises, unlike now, they deal with invisible things.
Invisible things are often more terrifying than visible things.
One rescue team was wiped out because of the overload explosion of the EMP device, and could not carry out EMP treatment, resulting in the annihilation of the entire rescue team. When they were found, the nano protective suits were full of blood.
Other rescue teams did not know about this.
Only the CN231-10 rescue team knew about it, because they just passed by that rescue team, and the last living person of that rescue team died less than ten meters away from their convoy.
They passed by too late.
They activated the EMP as soon as they found this person a hundred meters away, trying to save this person, but it was useless. The person's body was completely destroyed by the nanorobots, and he died before their car even drove over.
The number of that rescue team was JP091-04, and the person they didn't save was Saburo Takeshita.
They reported the incident, but the commander only replied lightly, "No wonder they didn't move."
Too many people died.
The situation of an entire rescue team like JP091-04 being wiped out is not an isolated case. The one or two people who died in various rescue teams added up to a huge number. The commander has become numb to the casualty reports.
"When I was in high school, I imagined that one day it might not be war that destroyed humanity, but crazy scientists. At that time, I couldn't imagine how scientists would destroy the world." Another rescue team member spoke up, his face full of fatigue and powerlessness, "Now the fantasy has come true. I know how scientists destroyed the world, but I would rather never know."
The CN231-10 rescue team is lucky. Their team has not lost any members. There were eight people when the rescue operation started, and there are still eight people now.
But can this lucky situation last until the end of the disaster?
Or
Will this disaster really end?
More and more rescue teams are participating in the rescue operation, and more and more EMP devices are being put into use, but the spread of nanorobots is getting wider and wider.
Although they have caused large-scale casualties to nanorobots with the EMP device, everyone knows that this is meaningless, because as long as all nanorobots are not killed, even if there is only one left, the disaster will not end.
Because nanorobots will replicate themselves at an astonishing speed, one becomes two, two becomes four, and four becomes eight. In the blink of an eye, they will become astronomical numbers again.
There is no way to kill them all!
As the spread of nanorobots increases and their resistance to EMP increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to suppress the number of nanorobots.
It won't be long before humans are exhausted and finally destroyed by the demons they created.
"Alas."
Someone sighed and ended this brief discussion.
The rescue team members sat in the car and looked into the distance.
The EMP device destroyed the street lights on both sides of the road. Their future was dark and they could not see any light.
