Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 440 Yagunaktor (4000-word chapter)
"Could it be that... the names of the relevant documents have been changed?" Aya said, "For the sake of confidentiality, some information will be processed in this way."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Ke Lan nodded, "Let me try to search with keywords."

"Keyword search is useless." Aya said to him again, "The purpose of renaming the file is to prevent people from easily searching for it, so all keywords related to specific names and places in it will be replaced with code names. If you only Searching for documents containing keywords will exclude the real target from the search results."

"Then the only clue is time." Ke Lan sighed, and searched all the newly created files from the time when Park Shangyou was captured by the field force until his application for naturalization was approved and he was assigned to work in the molten fire mine area. out.

"This... is simply a lethal dose..." Layton leaned over, glanced at the screen Ke Lan was facing, and immediately turned his head with a bitter face—although this time was less than half a month, but There are as many as 1729 new files in the archives of the Security Bureau, and Ke Lan has no way to further narrow the scope of the search when more keywords cannot be determined... Each of these 1729 files may be It's what they're looking for.

"Look slowly, I'll go and see how that stick is." Seeing the voluminous documents, the hound suddenly felt his head grow bigger, he stood up without interest, and patted Ke Lan's shoulder , and then walked up to the truck.

At this time, Ivan had already cut open Park Shangyou's abdominal cavity - Park Shangyou's internal bleeding was so serious that surgery could be used to stop it, otherwise no matter how much plasma was transfused to him, it would not help.

Ivan used the inner side of his wrist to hold several hemostats protruding into the wounded body, while constantly using tweezers and a scalpel to cut off the necrotic tissue and take it out of the body-this level of surgery, logically speaking, at least There should be more than two assistants to assist, but there is no room for more people in the compartment, and Ivan can only treat himself as three people.

Fortunately, his mechanical prosthesis has been specially modified. The four miniature mechanical arms separated from the forearm can easily complete tasks such as gripping tools and delivering gauze, barely allowing Ivan to complete this task with one person. Emergency surgery.

"The situation is not optimistic." Ivan said in the communication channel of the team while undergoing surgery, "There are irreversible damages to many of his organs, even if the bleeding is stopped, it won't last long. It can only be cured by replacing artificial organs or being sent to the medical bay for human repair... But we can't do these things right now."

"Is there a way to hang his life?" Ke Lan asked immediately.

"Yes, let him use the only in vitro life support system (Note 1) we brought into the mining area, and it should last him a week." Ivan paused and continued, "But it is possible to do so It will make our people lose a precious chance to rescue...With our current conditions, once it is turned on, there is no way to clean it up and replace it with other people...And those consumables are only enough for a week."

Ivan still didn't say a word: If Pu Shangyou can't be sent out of the molten mine within a week, he will still die.

"Let's not talk about this, let him use the machine." Ke Lan said, "He can't die, at least not now."

The bulky device was quickly stuffed into the compartment, and the already stretched space suddenly became more tense.Although this is already a portable version of an extracorporeal life support device, its size should not be underestimated - after all, the regular version of this thing requires a room of more than ten square meters to fit it completely.

Ivan connected those catheters of different thicknesses to Park Shangyou's blood vessels and trachea one by one. With the soft sound of the centrifugal pump motor turning, deep red venous blood flowed into the transparent polymer catheter. When the inside of the observed machine came out, it had already turned into bright red arterial blood, which was then pumped into Park Sang-woo's body.

"Ke Lan, you should be mentally prepared." Ivan whispered while operating the machine, "His brain has been hypoxic for a while, and you have also studied medicine. You should know that this will cause serious damage to his brain. What effect... Even if he can wake up, it may not be..."

"I know, epilepsy, dementia, language barrier... maybe even amnesia, but these are all probabilities. I think this guy is worth our gamble." When Ke Lan spoke, his eyes and His hands didn't stop at all, the light of the screen reflected on his helmet visor, and dense characters rolled quickly.

These 1729 newly-created files cover a wide range, from the report on the suppression of heretic sect strongholds to the results of the investigation and punishment of food hygiene problems in a certain black-hearted enterprise, from the detection process of the case of a headless male corpse in a sewage pipe to the selection process of a certain official. XP preference when I was a mistress... The jobs that the agents of the Security Bureau have to do almost include a series of occupations such as special forces of the old era, intelligence personnel of secret service agencies, supervision, police, urban management, etc. There are many management items and functional structures. It's so complicated that Ke Lan, who knew the true face of this group for the first time, couldn't help but be a little speechless.

It was hard for him to imagine the scene of a group of Security Bureau agents in black and gray combat uniforms raiding an illegal food processing factory - logically speaking, shouldn't such things be left to the garrison troops and security managers?

"By the way, Team Leader Breya, do your security bureau agents still work part-time as food quality inspectors?"

"What?" Aya Breya looked at Ke Lan in confusion.

"I just saw an investigation report on the food hygiene problem of XX company... Could this report be wrong? This kind of thing is also under your control?"

"Oh... I know about this matter, but our team is not present. I don't know the details. I heard that it was directly assigned by the superior." Aya replied.

Directly assigned by superiors?

Could it be that the child of a leader of the Security Bureau accidentally ate this kind of inferior food and then suffered from diarrhea? In his rage, the father directly bypassed the garrison troops and the Public Security Bureau, and sent a team of special agents to investigate the matter. thing?

That's not right... This kind of abuse of power as soon as you hit the table may happen in other organizations, but in the Security Bureau, no one should be stupid enough to do such a thing, right?Among them, who can sit in a high position is not the elite of the elite?

Thinking of this, Ke Lan suddenly felt that something was wrong with the food hygiene investigation report. He quickly scrolled back the page, found the report, and opened it again.

Before, he just glanced at it and didn't check it carefully, but now he turned around and noticed that this report document is only 3000 more than 70 words, but the number of pages is more than [-] pages!

Based on the default font size, [-] words would be enough for more than ten pages. Even if photos taken during the operation were inserted, it would be impossible to have as many as seventy pages.

There is something wrong with this report.

Ke Lan even suspected that this operation was just a cover.

He quickly dragged the cursor and kept turning pages.

The content of the original report ended on page No. 12, and the rest were blank pages.

It can't be because some part of the body of the writer of the report is too majestic, and he accidentally pressed the space bar on the keyboard, right?

Finally, on the penultimate page, Ke Lan saw a few lines.

"Part of the information provided by 'Homing Bird' has been verified. The first, third, fourth, and sixth items are true, and the remaining two items need further verification."

"The existence of 'Yagunaktor' has been confirmed, the **** project is officially approved, and the executives are being selected."

"The threat of 'Yagunaktor' to the Ark cannot be ruled out for the time being. All relevant information is set as top secret, and it is forbidden to upload any files in the project to the digital archive."

As for the last page, it was blank again.

Ke Lan is still in the state of "highest authority", so all the information he sees is the whole of this document, and there is no hidden content.

If the content of these three sentences is true, it is not only in the archives of the Security Bureau, even if the search scope is expanded to all digital archives of the entire Ark, he will not be able to find relevant content - no one has uploaded it at all. , how could he find it.

"I seem to have found a new clue." Ke Lan said, and immediately, Aya and the hound came over and cast their eyes on the screen.

"At the time point of this document, the 'homing bird' obviously refers to Park Shangyou, who has just left his status as an exile. He provided six pieces of information to Ark, four of which have been verified." Ke Lan said, "Moreover, this One or more of the six pieces of information should have mentioned this 'Yagunaktor'. The reason why he was sent to the Molten Mine must have participated in the confidential project whose name was changed to an asterisk. "

"I've never heard of such a project." Aya muttered, "I've never heard of the name 'Yagunaktor' either."

"Obviously, everything related to this project is highly confidential. The reason why such a record is left here should be that someone from your Security Bureau also participated in this project, but the specific content should only be involved in the project. Those who know it themselves." Ke Lan said.

"Then what is this 'Yagunaktor' (note 2)? Why does it sound a bit like the name of a god and demon in a legend?" The hound asked, pointing to the second line.

"The name does come from the legends of the old era, but it is not a god or demon, but a monster." Ke Lan said, "Yagunaktor is a powerful creature that inhabits volcanic areas. The plesiosaur in the Jurassic ocean is a close relative. This monster can use its fins to walk freely in the magma, and its sharp and hard mouthparts can cut through solidified volcanic rock, and it can also eject hot lava flows from its mouth ——Of course, what I’m talking about is the descriptions in legends, as for whether this creature really exists, it needs to be...well, it’s probably impossible to verify it now.”

"Wait a minute! You said that this Yagutuo thing lives in a volcanic area and can move freely in magma?" The hound raised his eyebrows, and his voice became a little higher. Is it magma?"

"You mean...they found similar creatures underground in the molten mine area?" Aya looked at the hound.

"Ordinary indigenous creatures will not attract this level of attention, and it is impossible to cause an earthquake of this level... Unless, this Yagu Thor, it is—"

"Prehistoric species." Ke Lan continued what the hound said.

"There is a living wild species living in the molten mine area?! This is impossible!" Aya shook her head again and again, "If this inference is true, all the people working in the molten mine area will be evacuated immediately! The stationed base will also be evacuated. It is revoked……"

"Then what if the purpose of the garrison base is to study this 'Yagunaktor'?" Ke Lan asked back.

Aya was at a loss for words.

"If this 'Yaguna Ketor' is really a 'prehistoric species', I even think that the secret of Nino alloy manufacturing is also related to it." Ke Lan continued, "Otherwise, why would the Alpha civilization mobilize such How about building a smelting base in its habitat? Moreover, judging from the clues that have been obtained so far, the molten fire mining area seems to be the only place where Nino alloy is produced, so the relationship between them is very intriguing." Ke Lan said slowly.

"I think this project is just trying to kill... Damn, living primordial species... These people are really crazy." The hound wanted to spit while talking, but forgot that he was still wearing a helmet. The saliva was directly stuck to the inside of the mask...

[PPS Note 1 "Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation": The prototype of this device is a medical device called "Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation", which is commonly known as "ECMO (abbreviation for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)".The function of this device is to connect the human body through a catheter, and use a power pump and an oxygenator to complete blood circulation and oxygenation outside the human body, which can replace the human heart and lung functions to a certain extent.

In this epidemic, many critically ill patients survived the dangerous period by relying on ECMO, and then were rescued.

The extracorporeal life support system in this book can be regarded as an upgraded version of ECMO. As long as the injured person's brain is not damaged, even if the body part completely loses its proper function, he can survive for a period of time by relying on this device (provided that it is connected to the extracorporeal life support system). the brain is not dead when the device is produced).

Note 2: "Yagunaktor", from the Monster Hunter series, is generally called "Yangolong" by players.Those who are interested in the specific information can Baidu by themselves, so I won’t go into details here. 】

【PPPS The cold got worse again, and then I also had rhinitis and pharyngitis. The throat and nose were completely blocked, and I couldn't breathe. The uncomfortable group can only go to the hospital tomorrow, no I know whether I need to be hospitalized, so I am not sure if there will be an update tomorrow, I hope everyone understands. 】
