Chapter 177 Despair
"Cough, cough, cough, cough." A rescue team member coughed violently, and a few drops of blood rolled down the inner wall of the helmet toward his collar due to gravity, leaving several winding blood stains on the helmet, "It starts again. , give me an EMP!"
Although the rescue team members all wear expensive and extremely tight nano-protective suits, these nano-protective suits cannot protect them 100% and can only hinder the attack of nano-robots on them.
Now, the nano-protective suits are riddled with holes at the microscopic level, and their protective effect has been greatly weakened. Many rescue team members rely solely on their bodies to resist the attacks of nano-robots.
But there is nothing the coalition government can do.
The coalition government never expected that such a large-scale nanorobot leak would occur, so it did not prepare a large number of nanoprotective suits in advance. It is already the limit to ensure that each person participating in the rescue operation has one suit.
The coalition government ordered MOSS to increase the production of nano-protective suits, but the increased production will not be enough for the rescue teams already performing tasks in the region. Because nanorobots are spreading rapidly, the coalition government needs to maximize the number of rescue teams performing tasks. , the newly produced nano-protective suits must be given priority to the rescue team waiting outside that does not even have a set of protective suits.
"The EMP is ready, come here quickly." The rescue team member standing in front of the EMP equipment shouted, "If anyone else feels unwell, come here!"
As time went by, the number of rescue teams near the Nanotechnology Institute increased to 946, coming from various countries. They had been working in this area for more than three hours, but they still had not extinguished the nanometer leakage from the laboratory. robot.
The effect of EMP is getting worse and worse.
Take the rescue team members as an example. On average, each person received two EMP treatments. Some rescue team members close to the main leakage area even received five EMP treatments, and the intervals between treatments were getting shorter and shorter.
Galactus is a group of nano-robots based on evolutionary algorithms. Among them, nano-robots that can adapt to EMP have more opportunities to copy themselves. In other words, Galactus is constantly evolving under the attack of EMP and is becoming more resistant to EMP. Come stronger and stronger.
Although under the constraints of physical rules, EMP can cause damage to Galactus no matter what, but as time goes by, the damage of EMP to Galactus is getting smaller and smaller. Nanobots can't get rid of it either.
This is evidenced by the fact that the intervals between rescue team members receiving EMP treatments are getting shorter and shorter. The reason why the time intervals are shortening is precisely because the last EMP treatment did not completely disinfect the nanorobots in their bodies, and the nanorobots in the air are also sensitive to EMP. The number continues to increase as resistance increases.
This is a cruel war with no sight of gunpowder. If it continues like this, everyone involved in the rescue operation will not end well.
"A new batch of aid supplies has arrived, and there will be a ninety-minute window. Currently, the diffusion radius of the nanorobots has reached 26.2 kilometers. Each rescue team will set off immediately to carry out the cleanup mission at the new coordinates displayed on the personal terminal!"
The commander's calm voice came from the communication channel, and the rescue team packed up their equipment and got into the vehicle.
The vehicle is a special vehicle used for emergency airdrops by the coalition government. Its scientific name is Beast X30. It does not have any internal circuits and is immune to EMP. The only drawback is that it has poor controllability because it does not have a built-in smart chip.
Fortunately, because the rescue team keeps activating EMP, the number of nanorobots increases slowly and causes relatively little damage to the road surface. Therefore, the poor controllability of the Beast X30 does not prevent the rescue team from driving them to rescue various places.
"Nano robots are invisible and intangible, but they can kill people, just like fucking ghosts." The CN231-10 rescue team boarded the Beast X30 and nervously rushed to the new mission location three kilometers away. One of the team members was on the huge Under pressure, he uttered foul language.
His name is Wang Fan, with the rank of second lieutenant.
His father is Wang Lei, and he once participated in the emergency rescue operations of the coalition government, but at that time, he dealt with visible crises, unlike now, where he deals with invisible things.
Invisible things are often scarier than visible things.
One rescue team was unable to perform EMP treatment because the EMP device was overloaded and exploded. As a result, the entire rescue team was wiped out. When they were discovered, the nano protective suit was full of blood.
None of the other rescue teams knew about this.
Only the CN231-10 rescue team knew, because they happened to pass by that rescue team, and the last living person of that rescue team died less than ten meters away from their convoy.
It was too late when they passed by.
When they first discovered the man a hundred meters away, they activated the EMP and tried to save the man, but it was of no avail. The man's body was completely destroyed by the nanorobots, and he died before their car even arrived. .
The rescue team's number was JP091-04, and the man they failed to rescue was named Saburo Takeshita.
They reported the incident, but the commander simply responded with an understatement: "No wonder they didn't move."
Too many people died.
Situations like JP091-04 where an entire rescue team was wiped out were not isolated cases. The one or two people who died in each rescue team added up to a huge number. The commander had become numb to casualty reports.
"When I was in high school, I imagined that one day it might not be war that would destroy humanity, but mad scientists. At that time, I couldn't imagine how scientists would destroy the world." Another rescue team member spoke, with a look on his face It was full of exhaustion and weakness, "Now the fantasy has come true. I know how scientists destroyed the world, but I would rather never know."
The CN231-10 rescue team is lucky. Their team has not reduced its personnel. It was eight people when the rescue operation started and it is still eight people now.
But can this lucky situation last until the disaster is over?
Or rather
Will this disaster really end?
More and more rescue teams are participating in rescue operations, and more and more EMP devices are being put into use, but the proliferation range of nanorobots is getting wider and wider.
Although they used the EMP device to cause large-scale damage to the nanobots, everyone knew that this was meaningless, because as long as all the nanobots were not killed, even if only one remained, the disaster would not end.
Because the nanorobots will replicate themselves at an astonishing speed, one can become two, two can become four, and four can become eight in the blink of an eye, which will once again become astronomical figures.
There is no way to kill them all!
As the spread range of nanobots increases and the resistance of nanobots to EMP increases, suppressing the number of nanobots becomes increasingly difficult.
It won't be long before humans will be exhausted and eventually destroyed by the demons they created.
"well."
Someone sighed and ended the brief discussion.
The rescue team members sat in the car and looked into the distance.
The EMP device destroyed the street lights on both sides of the road, and their future was dark with no light in sight.
