Chapter 399 Inspection

Because of the extremely low temperature, even after several years, the body in front of him was still intact and showed no sign of decay. This would allow subsequent dissection and analysis to be carried out under a more favorable condition.

Wang Hao observed for a moment and gently pressed a button. So, on the operating table in front of Wang Hao, several projectors appeared, and instantly projected a "corpse" exactly the same as the other side of the isolation glass. Wearing a special sensing glove, Wang Hao gently pressed the "corpse" projected through virtual projection technology.

With Wang Hao's pressing, the mechanical arm made the same movements as Wang Hao on the other side of the isolation glass, and passed the relevant parameters onto the sensing gloves, allowing Wang Hao to feel the coldness and stiffness as if it were real.

Removed the clothes from the corpse and took the induction knives - inside the isolation glass, the same knives immediately appeared on the clever robotic arm - starting from the chin of the corpse, cutting along the midline, exposing its abdominal organs...

Wang Hao, who has a medical expert background, is extremely familiar with the internal structure of the human body. In school and clinical practice, Wang Hao did not know how many abdomen of living or dead people have been cut open, but he has never been as solemn as this time, nor has he surprised Wang Hao this time.

What appeared in front of Wang Hao was a bloody picture, but it was not the flesh and blood that attracted Wang Hao's attention, but the strange shape of the dead astronaut's organs. Wang Hao clearly saw that some of the organs were smaller than ordinary people, while others became abnormally larger, and the shape also had some strange distortions. Although it is not possible to determine what the causes of these organs were affected, Wang Hao still confirmed one thing, that is, that strange disease would affect the organs of the human body.

Wang Hao first carefully took out the heart of the corpse, then manipulated the robotic arm and placed it in a special instrument. The instrument started to operate, and rows of data immediately began to appear on a display screen next to Wang Hao.

After a little observation, Wang Hao came to the conclusion: "His heart function is much lower than that of normal people."

This is obviously caused by that strange disease. Generally speaking, people who can become interstellar astronauts have stronger bodies than ordinary people, and their heart function should be higher than that of ordinary people.

After recording this point, Wang Hao continued to conduct a more in-depth analysis, so more conclusions gradually appeared in front of Wang Hao.

"His heart seems to have undergone some genetic mutation, which leads to a functional disorder in his heart, which leads to a series of consequences."

"The same is true for the stomach. The changes in the stomach cause him to be unable to digest food normally, and excessive stomach acid almost burned his stomach wall."

"The large intestine, small intestine, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys...what? Even muscles and skin tissues are varied? This, this..."

Further analysis obtained a conclusion that shocked Wang Hao even more. The astronaut had no organ or tissue on his body, and a large number of mutants, necrosis, hyperplasia, cancer, etc. were almost all over the body, and it led to multiple organ failure throughout the body.

Wang Hao vaguely understood why the astronaut chose to commit suicide.

Medical literature clearly records that when cancer was not conquered many years ago, some advanced cancer patients did not actually die because of organ lesions, but were suffering from pain. But no matter how painful the cancer is, it is just the pain of a specific organ and a certain organ that metastasizes and erodes the organ. But now the mutation of this astronaut is spread all over the body.

Moreover, based on Wang Hao's medical knowledge, we can easily judge the pain caused by the lesions that occur on this astronaut, and the unit intensity will definitely exceed that of cancer.

This means dozens of times, hundreds of times the pain of advanced cancer. Moreover, this mutation will not deprive all organ functions, which means that patients will not die in a short period of time due to this mutation. They will suffer from this indescribable pain when they are awake.

"If this pain comes to me, I'm afraid I can't wait to do everything possible to end my life."

The preliminary examination of the corpse has ended, and further analysis of the conclusions will take some time to wait. So Wang Hao still doesn't know what exactly caused this change. However, based on Wang Hao's past experience and the knowledge obtained from the literature, Wang Hao has already made a vague judgment in his mind.

"This seems to be a radiation disease. Some literature I have read once recorded that a patient who was accidentally exposed to extremely high doses of radiation many years ago showed that his performance was similar to this. However, the patient's condition worsened sharply, and he lost all the organ function in a short period of time and eventually died. This is different from this."

If it is a radiation disease, the severity of this incident will be much lower. At least people no longer have to worry about the possibility of a large-scale infection in human civilization.

"But...what kind of radiation can cause such changes in the human body?"

First of all, long-range interstellar spacecraft have heavy armor that can withstand any known radiation, so the source of this radiation is unlikely to be located outside the spacecraft. Then the only possibility is that it comes from inside the spacecraft.

There are indeed many components inside the spacecraft made of radioactive materials, but all of them are strictly isolated and unlikely to affect the human body. Even if an isolation device is damaged and leaked, it can only affect a few people at most, and it will not kill everyone in the entire spacecraft.

What's more, the treatment of radiation disease is not too difficult. How could the doctors equipped with the ship have enough medicines and equipment to deal with it, so how could they kill everyone?

After thinking for a while, Wang Hao stood up and sent out the analysis conclusions of this stage. The external garrison would receive this information and forward it to the expert team inside the galaxy for the experts to conduct analysis.

At this time, a message was sent to Wang Hao.

"The information collected from the Yuyun heavy transport ship has been sorted out. This is the part that can be viewed within your permissions."

When Wang Hao opened this information, he first checked the spacecraft operation records. But what Wang Hao expected was that in the navigation records that lasted more than 2,000 days, in addition to some minor faults, such as the connection head was broken in a certain place and the seal was damaged, there was not even a fault with a rating of level C, let alone the radiation leakage fault that Wang Hao predicted was enough to affect all astronauts.

After closing the spacecraft operation record, Wang Hao thought about it and opened the work log of the doctor on the ship.

During interstellar voyage, unless hibernation is done, every astronaut will record every day’s work and life. The records of the doctor on board are extremely important, which involves the health ratings of the astronauts, and this is related to their future careers.

Among the records of more than 2,000 days, the first three-fifths were directly skipped by Wang Hao. Because most of them were just some of the system's automatic physical data about heartbeat, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., and occasionally mixed with some treatments such as colds, tiny trauma, etc., which was not only shown that the astronauts were extremely healthy, but did not have any valuable information.

Changes start from the 1,205th day.

Wang Hao looked through the navigation records and found that at that time, they had loaded enough resources and embarked on the way back, and sailed nearly one light-year, while the distance from the Phoenix Galaxy was about twenty-nine light-years.

On this day, Zhou Lu, a doctor with the boat, made the following records in his work log.

"Mechanic Zheng Yang complained about abdominal pain. After examination, he found intestinal motility and electrolyte disorders. He was judged to be intestinal infection and related treatments have been carried out."

After this record, there is also a video record of the time. Wang Hao opened it and saw a young woman with refreshing short hair and wearing a doctor's uniform conducting relevant examinations on a strong man. The two seemed to be very familiar. During the examination, they kept joking, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Wang Hao observed from the perspective of a professional doctor and found that although the doctor named Zhou Lu looked careless, his techniques and judgments were not wrong. If he were present at the time, he would probably have made the same judgment and treatment as Zhou Lu.

After the diagnosis was over, Zhou Lu injected Zheng Yang with an injection, and Zheng Yang left, and the video recording ended.

For the Yuyun spacecraft and astronauts at that time, that day was just an ordinary day. People worked, lived and rested as always, without knowing what fate they would usher in. Wang Hao, who was flipping through the records, knew that that day was the beginning of everything. From that day on, fate would unchangeably move to another orbit leading to pain and death.

Looking at the young female doctor with bright eyes and white teeth in the video, Wang Hao felt a little sad when he looked at the strong young man with strength and motivation.

They originally had their own lives, relatives and friends, but now they have nothing left.

With a sigh, Wang Hao continued to read.

There was no valuable record the next day. On the third day, another crew member found Zhou Lu. So Zhou Lu made this record: "Operator Feng Song complained of weak muscles in his legs and accompanied by labor pains. After examination, he found muscle congestion and slight dysfunction. No structural lesions were found. It was judged that the muscles were overused. In order to ensure adequate rest, the treatment plan should pay attention to supplementing nutrition."
