Bai Ye's sight followed the tiny dot in the starry sky until it was obscured by the gigantic figure of Saturn.
At this time, Bai Yi received a message from Ainol.
It seems that the construction of the Lion Head Star Gate has made great progress, and the bridge for long-distance subspace communication has been built. Because only in this way can the other party get in touch with me.
The message was sent 12 hours ago and went through layers of transfers in the Stargate network before reaching Bai Yi.
The content of the letter is not long and can be roughly divided into three parts.
The first part is a brief description of the current status of the Pass C11 galaxy.
The construction of the star gate has entered its final stage.
As the galaxy entered a state of war, the Second Fleet, responsible for logistics and construction, poured its resources into strategic locations without reservation. At least one freighter squadron was dedicated to providing construction material transportation services to the Leonid Stargate construction site.
It was precisely because of this that Ainol was able to get in touch with Bai Yi in such a short time.
The second part is about the current situation of the survivors rescued by Bai Yi.
According to the letter, as the situation stabilizes, the police and customs agencies that were originally severely hit are resuming operations, and those who were rescued are beginning to return to their posts according to their original organization.
The population evacuation operation of the galaxy near the star gate is underway. Although there is still a large manpower gap, the entire operation is still progressing in an orderly manner under the spontaneous organization of planetary police stations and volunteers in various places.
Now we just need to wait for the star gate to be officially completed and opened to traffic so that we can transfer the border population into the country in batches for resettlement.
The last part of the letter is about the recent situation of Abyss and Dr. Max.
This part is very long, taking up almost half of the entire text.
Ainol first expressed her gratitude to Bai Yi for saving her and her father. She also apologized for her reckless behavior.
Although Bai Yi didn't care about it.
An apology won't return the combat robot he lost.
In his letter, Enol stated that he had underestimated the depth of the Abyss's erosion. In their previous experiments, the Abyss only eroded the consciousness of individual members with weak wills, and this erosion usually gradually returned to normal after forced stabilization.
This is the first time that even the space and the ship's main engine have been affected, as happened with the Apollo.
Therefore, even though she realized from the beginning that the situation was different and became more vigilant, she still greatly underestimated the danger of the abyss.
She apologized again for her recklessness and concealment.
Bai Yi's eyes quickly swept across these words filled with apologies and sincerity, and finally found some actually useful content.
This is a detailed description of the condition of Enol's father, Dr. Max. The format and tone of the description don't seem like something Enol could have written, but rather something that was directly CV-ed from some kind of checklist.
After carefully going through the contents of the checklist, Bai Yi found some very strange parts.
He trusted the Second Fleet's medical expertise. In this day and age, the biological sciences related to Homo sapiens were essentially fully understood. Aside from the still-debated nature of consciousness and the soul, it was safe to say that as long as you didn't die instantly, you could be saved.
Therefore, misdiagnosis is basically impossible.
So here comes the question.
Even though the fleet used the best first aid methods, Dr. Max still entered a state of suspended animation similar to that of a vegetative state.
Simply put, his vital signs are normal, but he just doesn't respond to external stimuli.
However, his brain waves showed that he was not in a vegetative state.
Dr. Max's brain is very active, even more densely populated than that of an ordinary person.
However, these signals are only active within the brain. Except for parts such as the thalamus responsible for maintaining life, no other signals will flow out to the body.
External stimuli are transmitted along the nerves and disappear instantly after reaching the brain. It is as if there is an invisible barrier between the brain and the body that prevents the transmission of signals.
At first, doctors thought there was a problem with the spinal nerves, but later they verified it through artificial means and found that this was not the case.
The electrodes are fucking clamped on the brain, and the signal just can't get in.
Dr. Max's brain is like an insulator now. You dare not increase the voltage and send signals into it, otherwise his brain will be electrified.
The military doctors were helpless against this strange disease. The only suggestion they could give was to freeze the doctor quickly and send him to a large hospital in the rear for further examination after the star gate was built.
At the end of the letter, Enol mentioned that his father woke up once in the middle of the letter, which was the day after the doctor performed an eye transplant on him.
Enol was playing games on the bed when he saw Max sitting up from the bed. He stretched out his hands to grab at the air and shouted.
"I was caught by him, I was caught..."
The needles that were originally inserted into his hands were pulled out, and dark red venous blood flowed all over the bed.
Frightened, Enol quickly gave him two bottles of sedatives.
The doctors who came later stared at each other for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, so they had to assume that the doctor had a nightmare while he was in a coma.
But they were still very happy at the time. After all, this situation showed that the patient had regained control of his body and would wake up soon.
Who knew that from then on, Max fell into a complete vegetative state.
Bai Yi was speechless.
He felt a little uneasy about the strange phenomenon happening to Dr. Max.
Then he remembered the question he asked Apollo before leaving the Apollo.
He asked Apollo how many living beings were on the ship.
The other party replied that there were three people.
And when they first entered, there were four living beings on the ship.
That is to say, in addition to himself, Enol and Max, there is another strange life that Apollo cannot locate.
Then there are only three explanations.
The first possibility is that there was an unknown life form on the Apollo that was not discovered by the three people. When the three people left, this life form also left or disappeared. Therefore, the number of people dropped from 4 at the beginning to 3.
The second explanation is that there was an unknown life on the Apollo from the beginning to the end that was not discovered by the three people. When the three people left, Dr. Max had lost his life characteristics, so he was not counted by Apollo.
But this possibility is not great.
Because Bai Yi has been carrying Dr. Max on his back all the time, and he has a life monitor implanted in him. He just lost consciousness under the influence of the positive economy, and his vital signs did not disappear. There is no reason for Apollo to exclude him.
Then there is only one possibility left, which is also the most terrifying one.
