592 Hibernation

Another major event happened during the fleet's flight over the earth. Brother Yi took this opportunity to deliver a passionate public speech.

This method of public speaking is generally used by Yankees. In China, there are usually only speeches, but no speeches. Although Yige's speech is not a precedent, it is also rare in China.

The expedition fleet broadcast live broadcast of Brother Yi's speech, but Ye Han didn't have the heart to listen to Brother Yi's high-profile singing.

Not only Ye Han, but also many officers and soldiers in the fleet who stick to their posts.

As the leader of the country, fame and fortune are nothing to Brother Yi, and his ultimate pursuit is still to go down in history. Brother Yi encountered an alien invasion during his term of office, which is both a misfortune and an opportunity.

Under the leadership of the first brother, the expeditionary fleet took the lead in blowing the horn of counterattack, which itself is a good opportunity to leave its name in history.

To put it bluntly, no matter how high a brother's status is, he is still a body of flesh and blood. People have pursuits, but the level of level determines the difference in pursuits.

The content of Brother Yi's speech has already determined that this speech will be recorded in history, not to mention that Brother Yi also picked a critical moment when the expedition fleet passed the earth.

At the end of the speech, the booster rocket had just begun to be installed, and half an hour later, the last booster rocket was successfully fixed on the Dew Bay.

Everything was ready, the Rainbow Bay issued an order to the fleet to prepare for acceleration, and the four warships launched their booster rockets at the same time, and the speed of the warships soared again.

Half an hour later, the fourth group of booster rockets that had run out of fuel was thrown off the hull, and the fleet reached the predetermined speed of 72 kilometers per second, and was gradually moving away from the earth.

Next, the fleet will have to face a year-long journey, and the flagship ordered the ships to prepare for dormancy.

The so-called dormancy is to inject hibernin into the crew, but hibernin does not mean that injections can be injected casually. Comprehensive and meticulous preparations must be carried out, including eating and drinking in an appropriate amount, emptying and defecating, and taking drugs in a quantitative manner.

Hibernation is not a simple matter, let alone injection of hibernin and everything will be fine.

Biological laboratory research has found that hibernin is not a single substance, but is composed of several substances, and each substance has a robber anesthesia effect when taken out alone.

At present, the laboratory has only separated two components from hibernin, one is to delay metabolism, that is, the main component that delays physiological activities by 400 times; the other is to paralyze nerves, which can make people's consciousness half comatose state.

This discovery made the researchers very excited. If only the metabolism is slowed down, but the nerves are not paralyzed, can a person continue to move at a 400-fold slow motion after injecting hibernin?

If this goal can be achieved, can it solve the problem of aging in long-term spaceflight?

The corresponding experiment was started immediately, and it was successful very quickly. In the animal experiment, the researchers successfully slowed down the orangutan's movements by 400 times.

However, the experiment was terminated, and subsequent experiments were directly stopped by the laboratory.

The original plan of the laboratory is to hope that after the injection of hibernin, the astronauts can still maintain a certain degree of exercise ability, eat and drink in time, and avoid the astronauts' health problems due to hunger and thirst.

Although the idea is good, it has a very serious shortcoming - only human beings enter the hibernation state!

To give the simplest example, if a hibernating astronaut wants to eat something, it will take a few days just to open the food packaging bag, and it will also take a few days to put the food in his mouth, and it will also take a lot of time to chew the food. time of day.

People's movements are slowed down, but time still passes normally. It takes ten and a half months to eat a bite. If the food is chewed in the mouth, it will already become moldy and deteriorated, and even a layer of green hair will grow.

Moreover, the digestion time is much longer than the swallowing time. The food swallowed in the stomach may not be digested in a month, and the food in the stomach will rot before it can be digested.

This is not the only problem that needs to be faced. There are many bacteria in the human intestine that help digestion. Human movements and physiological reactions can be slowed down by four hundred times under the action of drugs.

Bacteria in the gut don't go into hibernation.

Humans no longer eat after entering hibernation, and the imbalance of intestinal flora is inevitable. If they cannot be prepared in advance, problems such as diarrhea are mild, so drugs must be used to control intestinal flora.

There are many similar troubles, such as long-term lying still and poor blood circulation, blood will accumulate under the body of the hibernator due to the effect of gravity, resulting in "sleeping spots" similar to corpse spots.

Of course, there is absolutely no need to worry about this problem in weightlessness.

All in all, the laboratory has been tossing a lot in order to study hibernin, and the ultimate goal is to use hibernin as much as possible to avoid the side effects caused by this thing.

The laboratory thought of many ways, but failed to solve all the side effects. The final solution is that the duration of hibernation should not exceed one year at most. It is best to release hibernation for a period of time every six months, recover the body and then re-inject hibernation.

As for whether the use of hibernin will leave hidden dangers in the human body, the laboratory has not yet had time to experiment.

The expedition fleet spent half a day preparing for hibernation. After everything was ready, Ye Han and all the marines lay down in the hibernation cabin and received the hibernation injection.

The function of the hibernation cabin is not only to fix the personnel, but also to automatically inject sleeping pills in an emergency, but Ye Han is not quite sure what is considered an emergency.

After the hibernin entered the blood vessels, everyone quickly lost consciousness.

Personnel from various departments entered the hibernation cabin one by one, and the battleship quickly became deserted, and in the end, only two crew members were left on duty on each battleship.

The duty of the duty officer is very simple, to take care of the deserted warships and ensure that the warships are in formation.

In order to avoid psychological problems caused by sticking to the post for a long time, each group of people is only on duty for one week. After a week on duty, no matter what the state of the person on duty is, the other group must be woken up.

The number of crew members of the 024 class is about 70 people, and it will take more than half a year for everyone to make one round, and the fleet will be able to fly to Jupiter in less than two rounds.

Many soldiers only need to sleep for a week or a few weeks before being woken up. They would rather be awake and wait until the shift time than sleep for a week with a hibernin injection.

However, the supplies on the ship are limited, so it is enough to leave only two sober people on duty, any more people will increase the consumption of supplies!

There is no extra space on the battleship. Although all the cabins are full of supplies, it seems that it is enough for the whole ship to consume for a long time, but in fact, the supplies carried by the expedition fleet have undergone the strictest calculations. Food, drinking water, and air are all accurate. When it comes to people, there is very little redundancy in materials, so we must plan carefully.

The state of the past two days is really not good, and I hope to recover tomorrow.
