However, they know this is just the beginning. The road ahead is long, and they will face many more challenges and difficulties. But as long as they unite as one and forge ahead courageously, they will surely overcome all difficulties and protect this land that belongs to them.
While the development of the isolation shroud was progressing at a breakneck pace, the situation outside was far more serious than anticipated. Undersea jets began to surge, and a yellowish-brown gas spread across the surface, slowly approaching the base like the tentacles of death. Once inhaled, this gas would rapidly erode life, causing the entire body to wither and die within a short period of time.
Xiao Yi stood at the window of the command room, looking out at the sea shrouded in yellow-brown gas, his brow furrowed. He knew that this gas not only threatened the safety of the base, but also posed a huge threat to every life. He had to make a decision to protect everyone in the base.
However, the progress of installing the protective shield was far behind the worsening situation outside. Despite the engineers' full efforts, the complexity and precision of the shield slowed progress. Xiao Yi anxiously inquired about the progress, but each time he received a disappointing response.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer. He had to take some temporary measures to deal with the current crisis. He immediately called together all the scientists and engineers to discuss countermeasures.
After intense discussion, they decided on a series of emergency measures. First, they used existing materials and technology to make a batch of simple protective suits and masks, which they distributed to everyone in the base. While these suits weren't as complete as isolation masks, they could at least provide some protection from the harmful gases.
At the same time, they also strengthened the base's ventilation system to expel harmful gases as far as possible. They also activated the emergency warning system to remind everyone to pay attention to their own safety and avoid going out as much as possible.
After taking these measures, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. But he knew that this was only temporary. He had to complete the installation of the isolation cover as soon as possible to truly ensure the safety of the base.
So he went to the engineers' work site again to personally supervise the progress. He encouraged everyone to persevere and said that they must overcome all difficulties for the safety of the base and everyone's life.
With Xiao Yi's encouragement and the engineers' efforts, the installation of the isolation hood finally made a breakthrough. Finally, one morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the base, the isolation hood also completed the final installation work.
As the isolation shield was activated, the entire base was enveloped by a transparent barrier. The yellow-brown gas raged outside the barrier, but it could no longer penetrate the base. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that under Xiao Yi's leadership, they had successfully weathered this crisis.
With the large-scale emergence of underwater jets, the protective shield became the only barrier for the base. However, Xiao Yi knew that this was not a long-term solution. Before they could be completely self-sufficient, they still needed to exchange necessary supplies with the outside world, and the outflow of personnel became a huge problem.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Xiao Yi said firmly at the meeting, "We must develop protective clothing and filter respirators that can resist harmful gases. In this way, our personnel can go out safely and the survival of the base can be guaranteed."
Xiao Yi's words instilled a sense of urgency and mission in everyone. Scientists immediately plunged into intense research, working day and night to analyze the composition of the harmful gas and search for materials that could resist it. Engineers were busy designing the structures of protective clothing and filtering respirators, ensuring they were both lightweight and practical.
With Xiao Yi's strong support and encouragement, research and development work achieved a breakthrough. Scientists discovered a special alloy material that effectively blocks the erosion of harmful gases. Engineers designed a set of protective clothing and a filter respirator based on this material.
However, turning the plan into a real product was not easy. They faced a series of problems such as material shortages and technical difficulties. But Xiao Yi did not back down. He increased investment and transferred more resources and talents from other bases to fully support the work of the R&D team.
After countless trials and improvements, protective clothing and filtering respirators were finally manufactured. They are lightweight, powerful, and can effectively resist the erosion of harmful gases, providing reliable protection for people going out.
When the first group of personnel wearing protective clothing and filtration respirators successfully went out and returned safely, the entire base was in an uproar. They cheered and felt proud and fortunate for this achievement.
Xiao Yi stood at the window of the command room, looking at the celebrating crowd outside, his heart filled with relief and pride. He knew that this achievement was not just a simple technological breakthrough, but also a symbol of their overcoming difficulties and challenging themselves.
However, Xiao Yi also knows that this is only the first step towards self-sufficiency and a wider world. He will continue to lead everyone forward, explore the unknown, and create the future.
As the underwater jets became increasingly severe, the protective cover became the base's only lifeline. However, the high cost of protective clothing and filtering respirators meant that the first batch of products could only meet the needs of a small number of people. Faced with this dilemma, Xiao Yi made a difficult decision: until sufficient supplies were available, everyone must strictly abide by the regulations and not leave the protective range of the cover without permission.
Xiao Yi stood in the square of the base, facing all the staff, his voice firm and powerful: "I know this decision may be harsh for everyone, but we must understand that our lives and the safety of the base depend on this protective shield. Protective clothing and filtering respirators are expensive, and we are currently unable to provide them to everyone."
