Business Empire: Start with a Helping System

Chapter 587 Request for Rescue

.......

early morning.

When the light on the horizon of Mars lit up, the sky gradually became brighter, and a ray of sunlight shined through the transparent glass on the roof of the cabin, shining on Shen He's face.

He squinted his eyes, feeling the light and shadow of this strange planet, and it was difficult to conceal the excitement and nervousness in his heart.

As the top person in charge of this landing mission, he must ensure that all astronauts are safe, and at the same time, he must also ensure that they can mine as many Martian resources as possible.

As the Martian sky gradually lit up, Shen He quickly led a group of astronauts to gather.

He introduced the specific content and objectives of the task to everyone, and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety at all times and strictly abide by various regulations and procedures. Everyone listened carefully and remained silent. Only the sound of the wind blowing through the Martian wilderness penetrated the quiet air.

Wearing spacesuits and helmets, and holding their own tools, they slowly walked out of the space capsule.

Shen He came to a big rock. He lowered his head and observed the ground, feeling the surface of Mars.

I thought to myself, is this poor place really suitable for human habitation?

Although there is clearly a blue earth, you don't live in it, don't protect it properly, and insist on destroying the environment. Finally, one day you have no choice but to come to this rotten place.

It’s funny, humans are all stupid!

While Shen He was thinking secretly, an emergency call came from next to him.

"Captain Shen! Xu Li is missing!" an astronaut shouted anxiously.

"What?!" Shen He was shocked.

"I didn't see Xu Li when I woke up this morning. I thought she got up late."

"But now it's time to gather. I also called her, but she still has no news at all!"

The astronaut was a little anxious.

"In this case, you take two people to find Xu Li. Stop what you are doing first. Don't be anxious. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

Shen He said very calmly.

"Okay!" The astronaut agreed and immediately ordered the other two astronauts to follow and search for Xu Li's whereabouts.

Shen He didn't take Xu Li's disappearance seriously.

The top priority is to mine the surface of Mars as quickly as possible, discover all kinds of troubles and problems that may be encountered, and then feed these problems back to the Tianque Group on the earth.

The samples from Mars are transported by a small detector that can accelerate to half the speed of light. In one month, the samples are transported across the distance from Mars to the Earth in advance.

With the current technological level of mankind, accelerating a small detector to half the speed of light is already the result of painstaking efforts.

Under the leadership of Shen He, they immediately started taking action, using advanced technology and equipment, installing mining instruments, and carrying out resource mining, sample collection and other work.

The surface environment of Mars is very harsh, with extremely low temperatures, extremely low air pressure, a lot of radiation and fine dust.

However, the astronauts carried out efficient and coordinated work under the protection of their space suits. They formed teams and were responsible for different tasks. In the face of difficulties and dangers, they could overcome each difficulty by staying calm and courageous.

As everyone invested in it, the mining work on Mars gradually began, and various precious minerals and fossil samples were successfully collected and preserved.

The astronauts will return them to the core base, wait for centralized transportation to small detectors, and then return them to laboratories on Earth for analysis and research in order to discover the secrets and revelations of Mars.

Astronauts drive probes and rovers through the wasteland of Mars, looking for landmarks and sample points that have been discovered by probes. They travel along rugged terrain, sometimes carefully avoiding huge rocks and steep cliffs.

The rover's field of view is so wide that they can see distant peaks and craters. Sometimes they will peek into these scenery from inside the rover and feel the vastness and mystery of Mars. The probe is their eyes and ears, recording various data and information on the ground through sensors, providing an important basis for human exploration of Mars.

They finally found a sample point identified by the detector. The ground here looked a little unusual and seemed to contain some kind of treasure.

They got out of the car, put on protective clothing and oxygen tanks, and began to use various instruments and tools to collect soil and rock samples, and record various data such as temperature, pressure and magnetic field here.

Shen He was standing at the front of the base, checking the progress of the tasks being handled by hundreds of astronauts, unconsciously showing a satisfied look.

This is their first operation on Mars and a glorious journey of human exploration of space.

At this moment, the astronaut who went to investigate Xu Li's situation sent a message.

The astronaut sent a frowning expression and replied: "She checked her work log. It seems that she ate something wrong last night and is now lying in the room to rest... I guess it may be Mars." Mild food poisoning caused by bacteria on your bed, and now you have a fever?”

Shen He frowned: "You have a fever? Are you sure it's caused by food poisoning?"

"Not sure, but I guess that's the case, after all, the door can't be opened now."

"What the hell... This is not something to be estimated! You break the door directly and go in to see what's going on. Don't rush to get started. Take care of Xu Li as your first goal."

Shen He said slowly.

As the person in charge of this operation, he not only has to complete the task of collecting Mars mining samples, but it is also his responsibility to protect everyone.

"Ok."

The two astronauts broke into Xu Li's room directly.

After entering, the two people's eyes widened.

They found that Xu Li had passed out under the bed, breathing rapidly and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Hurry up, she's in a very bad situation now!"

"It's over, it's over, Xu Li is in trouble this time!"

The two of them quickly moved up and began to check Xu Li's current physical condition.

While climbing to Mars, they also brought some top-notch medical machines.

After preliminary inspection, they confirmed that Xu Li was infected with the Mars virus and needed emergency treatment.

Astronauts Robert and Emilia hurriedly lifted Xu Li up and found that her face was pale and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Emilia immediately picked her up, and Robert quickly contacted Shen He.

"Commander Shen, we found Xu Li. She was infected with the Martian virus and her condition is very bad!" Robert Hui reported.

When Shen He heard this, his heart tightened, and he quickly issued an order: "Robert, Emilia, send Xu Li to the medical room as soon as possible, and then find some antiviral drugs for Xu Li as soon as possible. Remember to protect yourself!"

"Okay, we're heading to the medical bay."

The two astronauts acted quickly and lifted Xu Li away.

Emilia looked at the dying Xu Li, her eyes full of worry and helplessness.

She knew that the virus on Mars was unknown to people on earth, and she didn't know what medicine to use to treat it. The situation could be said to be very critical.

"What should we do? Xu Li's situation is getting more and more unstable." Emilia asked Robert worriedly.

Robert also felt very helpless. They had not been exploring Mars for long and knew too little about this strange planet.

"Let's do our best. I believe the headquarters will send people to support us." Robert took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.

"Haha... Headquarters? Haven't you counted how many kilometers the headquarters is on Earth? Even with the fastest rocket, it will take a month to arrive!!"

Emilia's voice was filled with tears and trembling.

Robert shook his head and said, "Calm down first."

Emilia is Xu Li's good friend, a cross-border acquaintance. Something happened to her relatives here, and it's hard to stay rational.

The two quickly arrived at the medical room and placed Xu Li on the bed. The instruments in the medical room began to conduct various tests, and the results showed that Xu Li's condition was not optimistic.

"What should we do? Her condition is getting worse and worse!" Emilia looked at Xu Li's condition report with great anxiety.

Robert looked at her and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a solution. Now, we need to focus on finding an antidote, protect ourselves, and never be infected with this terrible virus."

The mining work continued, but as time went by, Xu Li's virus showed a tendency to spread.

The sudden Martian virus plunged the entire space capsule into panic.

Xu Li was diagnosed with the infection, and the two astronauts who followed him were also infected.

Next, astronauts continued to show symptoms such as fever and difficulty breathing, and every bed in the medical room was occupied.

Shen He was filled with anxiety. He knew that action must be taken to stop the spread of the virus. He summoned all the astronauts and decided to initiate isolation measures urgently.

He ordered that the entire space capsule be divided into multiple areas and each area be sealed off to prevent the spread of the virus. At the same time, he assigned a medical team to treat infected people and inspect all personnel to ensure that the virus did not spread further.

The entire space capsule fell into a tense atmosphere, and everyone was trying hard to protect themselves and other astronauts in the capsule.

However, the effect is not good.

Even on Earth, most viruses are not resistant to alcohol and will quickly lose activity in the presence of it. However, on Mars, this rule seems to have lost its effect.

"Report, more than 80% of the personnel have all entered high fever..." Shen He's staff officer said slowly, with a gloomy expression on her face, her mouth wriggled, and her eyes were swollen.

In just one day, most people have been infected with this unknown virus.

Even though various isolation measures were used, they were of little use.

It is still spreading in a way they cannot imagine.

Now, all major mining operations have been suspended.

"Contact Tianque Group immediately and ask for rescue."

Shen He's heart had sunk to the bottom, he took a deep breath and said.

At this moment, how much he hoped that Wang Hua really had supernatural power and could come here to save them like a god from heaven.

But Shen He already knew in his heart that the first batch of humans who landed on Mars were destined to have an extremely gloomy history.

Because, with the current distance of the earth from here, it is simply impossible to wait for support.

One month is enough time for them to be buried.

Shen He collapsed to the ground, feeling helpless and despair for the first time.

In the past, he had studied the ancient books of the Dragon Kingdom, which preached that he would be reborn after death, but where is the rebirth now?

They say that we are already in a desperate situation, and we are always moving upwards wherever we go.

But where to go now?

Shen He's eyes suddenly turned dark. No matter what, he couldn't see hope.

......

At this moment, in the centralized isolation room of the Mars base.

Several astronauts with feverish bodies and splitting headaches lay on the ground, communicating breathlessly, with a sense of weakness in their voices.

"We...really became a guinea pig." Robert said helplessly.

"That's not really true. At least we have paved the way for those who come after us. After we pass some roads, future generations will not stumble in the same place." said a Dragon Kingdom astronaut.

"But, then we are already dead..."

"Yeah, this is what we people in the Dragon Kingdom call passing the torch from generation to generation. Even if we die, we will benefit future generations... Guys like you won't understand."

"Well, I really don't understand, especially your patriotic feelings." Robert, who comes from the beautiful country, nodded.

"Now, let's hope a miracle happens."

Emilia said.

"Miracle, don't be ridiculous, where did the miracle come from?" Faced with what Emilia said, Robert retorted without thinking.

"The distance of nearly [-] million kilometers and the huge time span can kill us all here."

Robert's words made the surrounding astronauts all have a look of despair in their eyes.

Yes, even if there are special medicines and even if there is the strongest medical team, it will take at least a month for them to come over.

One month was enough to kill them eight times.

......

The changes that happened on Mars also spread to the earth.

There was an emergency meeting within the headquarters of Tianque Group. A group of scientists and executives were chatting anxiously in the conference room.

All the holographic projection screens were opened, and the holographic projection of Shen He in a spacesuit was sitting on the rostrum. His face was solemn, and he was anxiously thinking about the rescue plan.

On the other side, Ding Zijun, as the vice president of Tianque Group, was also worried at this time.

I didn't expect that they missed this unexpected event - the Mars virus!

You know, there is no life on Mars, and the environment is extremely harsh. It is really hard to imagine what a virus that grows in such an environment is, and how terrifying it is.

"The biggest problem now is that this virus sample is far away from Mars. How can it be sent to the earth in time?" asked a scientist named Wu Ming.

"With our existing technology simulation solutions, viruses cannot be completely simulated on computers."

Ding Zijun nodded. "Indeed, even though Mars is currently the closest distance to our earth, about [-] million kilometers, it is still too far for us humans."

"What's worse is that it takes a long time to cultivate virus antibodies, which is unbearable for patients." Another scientist named Li Hua added.

"We need a miracle to save them," an executive whispered.

Shen He was silent for a while, and then said again: "We must go all out and try every means to find a solution. We must unite the world's top scientists to jointly study this virus."

His words made everyone relax a little, but the brief silence was broken by a scientist: "But our time is very limited, these astronauts need to be treated immediately, otherwise..."

Everyone fell into silence again.

Basically, the topic has been cleared up to this point.

The astronauts on Mars may not be saved.

"I think we may really have to compromise with nature for once." A scientist said with a wry smile.

Li Hua sighed: "Yes, there are some things that we cannot change. The power of nature is too powerful, and we have overestimated ourselves."

The words of the two people implicitly meant that they could basically give up and there was no way to save them.

"Is there really no other way?" someone asked.

"Maybe...there really isn't any more."

Ding Zijun said with enthusiasm.

The scene fell silent, and the holographic image of Shen He spoke.

"You guys, don't be silent." There was a faint anger in his voice, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Are you going to give up now?"

To these scientists, the group of people going to Mars are just a group of human elites, but to him, they are his people and his partners! !

This was his colleague and friend who he got to know day and night. When he thought that they would soon climb into the grave and be buried in the yellow sand on the dog-sun Mars forever, Shen He became furious.

"Why are you silent! I'm asking you, are you about to give up now?!"

These words were almost shouted by Shen He.

"Shen He, please calm down first."

Ding Zijun's face looked a little ugly, and he spoke in a calm tone as much as possible.

A white-haired old man stood up and said while suppressing his anger.

"The distance is [-] million kilometers, and it will take a month just to send the samples. Even if we launch a rocket there now, and launch simultaneously on Mars, and both parties do it at the same time, it will take at least half a month."

"It will take at least a month for us to develop antibodies and carry out treatment."

"One and a half months, this is the shortest time!! Tell me, if you don't give up, is there any other way out!!"

The scene suddenly became extremely awkward and depressed.

"We, perhaps, can only hope for the miracle of life."

"I hope they can handle it on their own."

There was a scientist who said something terrible, but in the eyes of most people, it was the truth.

Everyone's expression was very low, and their eyes were struggling, as if they no longer wanted to make any more efforts.

Even if we do something more and launch another rocket, isn't it still a waste of money?

However, at this time, Shen He, who was transformed into a holographic projection, his eyes flashed rapidly.

"If there is a miracle in life, it can only be him."
