The last human in the universe

Chapter 10 Illness
Among the ten activated incubators, there was an ugly child with red skin and wrinkled skin lying in each one, crying with his eyes closed.Ten robot "aunties" controlled by Xiaoxi, whose appearance is almost indistinguishable from humans, leaned over there, coaxing them softly.

They have been carefully selected for their appearance and sound.Back then on the earth, child psychologists and maternity and infant experts did not know how much work they had to determine these things, trying to give babies the most sense of security, so that they can grow up healthily from body to mind.

Of course, these robot aunts only have the upper body, and the lower body is a pillar, fixed directly on the floor.

There is also a mobile "auntie" in the nursery, which is responsible for carrying supplies for the rest of the aunts, providing disposable degradable diapers, milk powder and other things, and sometimes it will also buy food from the auntie who is fixed on the floor. They took the babies in their hands, took them around the nursery, and put them to sleep as much as possible.

For the first three days, Zhao Changxing stayed here as long as he was awake.Because the "aunts" under Xiaoxi's control can only do routine, routine work, and cannot handle emergencies.Besides, he is also worried about whether there will be bugs in Xiaoxi's baby-raising program that hasn't been used for decades.

After discovering that everything was normal, his heart let go a little.

At this moment, it has been almost half a month since the No.1 baby, that is, the baby boy he named Zhao Ye was born.For the past half month, he has been staying in the Huozhi spacecraft, and he has never gone down once.

But work has to be done after all, whether it is for your own future or for the future of your children.The time is almost up, no matter how reluctant, no matter how worried, I have to go down.

On this day, Zhao Changxing fried an egg—yes, he has eggs now. He ate a bowl of rice with the leftover half of braised fish and fried spinach from yesterday, and packed up the things needed today , decided to leave the Ignition spacecraft and head to Sedna.

Before leaving, he subconsciously walked around the nursery again.

After carefully looking at the children's physical indicators and confirming that everything was normal, he was still not willing to leave, but walked slowly in the nursery, his eyes sweeping over each baby.

Chen Feng is a relatively calm and quiet boy.Although he is the youngest, he is the most sensible.Basically, he never cries except when he's tired, hungry, or sick.He just lay quietly in the incubator like that, quietly watching the ceiling or the smile of the robot aunt, sometimes there would be a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth, and some unknown sounds would come out of his mouth.

You know, he is just a baby who hasn't confinement, and his eyesight may not even be able to see things 20 centimeters away.God knows what's going on in his little head.

Compared to Chen Feng, the youngest younger brother, the eldest brother, Zhao Ye, was more lively and full of energy.Sometimes he dances around in the incubator, as if fighting an invisible enemy.Sometimes I cried out with a wow, as if I was defeated by some invisible monster.

The little girl named Sun Caiyun by Zhao Changxing seems to never get enough sleep.Although it is true that the baby sleeps more, she especially sleeps a lot, basically when there is no activity.Zhao Changxing used to worry about whether she was sick, but after the examination, everything was normal. It can only be thought that she is naturally more sleepy.

There is also a little baby girl named Zheng Yan by Zhao Changxing who cries especially loudly, with a particularly high voice, and loves to cry very much.Especially when the "Symphony of Crying" was staged in the nursery, as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately suppressed the cries of the other babies, quite like a soprano.

Hearing the cries one after another in his ears, Zhao Changxing turned around with a smile and left the nursery.When he walked to the door, he looked at the ten babies and said softly, "Dad will come to see you tonight. Now, Dad is going to work."

What responded to him was a louder cry.

Taking the Falcon [-] spacecraft and landing on the Sedna star after more than ten days away, Zhao Changxing first checked the growth of the crops and the growth of the animals.After confirming that everything was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He first harvested the beans in the No. [-] soilless cultivation workshop, harvested tens of kilograms of beans, and planted new beans, added some raw materials to the automated nutrient solution blending workshop, caught a few fish, and threw them to the automated slaughtering equipment After being slaughtered and frozen, there is time to be busy with the affairs of Human Base No. [-].

At this moment, the foundation of the human base No. 1 with a total area of ​​more than [-] square meters has been laid, and it is time to lay the insulation layer.

The planet Sedna is extremely cold, and if the building directly touches the surface without leaving the ground, the heat will be easily lost, so the heat insulation layer is very important.In particular, the surface of Star Sedna has long adapted to the extremely cold environment, and many of the easily volatile gases have already integrated with them, and it is impossible to completely clean it up.A sudden increase in temperature may even cause the foundation to collapse, endangering the safety of the entire human base No. [-].

The insulation layer laid this time is different from the extravagant floor of the first phase of the project.The solution developed by experts on Earth is to use a spray gel that is sprayed directly on the surface.After that, it will quickly solidify in the extremely cold environment, which not only plays the role of heat insulation, but also provides support for subsequent construction.

The hundreds of kilograms of gel brought down from the Falcon [-] spacecraft have all been sprayed, and only a fraction of the entire site has been sprayed, but it is getting late.

Zhao Changxing dragged his tired body and returned to the Huozhi spacecraft again.

This has been the case for the next few days. In a 24-hour day, at least ten hours of work are spent, and seven hours of sleep are spent. The rest of the time is devoted to caring for the baby in addition to meeting physiological needs, such as eating and excreting. room inspection.

Even when he was working, when the Tinder spacecraft passed by his side of the planet, he would raise his head and look at it for a while, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

While on Earth he was not married, let alone had children.But at this moment, he really felt what it was like to be a father, and he also understood why some people he had met before were usually idle, but once they had children, they immediately became more difficult than anyone else.

Because I already have responsibilities and obligations to raise another little life to grow up safely and happily.

Time passed day by day, after the laying of the insulation layer was completed, it was the laying of the first floor.After that, there is the second floor.

The second floor is especially important. It is in direct contact with the internal life support environment. It must be tough enough, tight enough, and have a series of indicators such as cold resistance and radiation resistance.If something goes wrong with it, it may really kill people, and even affect the entire base.

This work is a test of patience and concentration, and it doesn't consume much physical energy.But Zhao Changxing felt more tiring than the previous physical work.But even so, every time he dragged his extremely tired body back to the Tinder spaceship, he never forgot to accompany the children for a while.

During this period of time, the children have undergone obvious changes.Their skin is no longer that red and wrinkled, but gradually smooth and fair, their activities have increased significantly, and their sleep time has gradually decreased.Even the strength has increased a little.

Including the youngest Chen Feng, they were all out of confinement, and their food was changed from milk powder to other things.According to the baby's diet, Zhao Changxing provided them with the best possible food as far as the existing conditions allowed, but it was obvious that they didn't like these things.

Hearing the children's cries, Zhao Changxing felt distressed, but he couldn't help it.

During this time, his face became much gloomy.It wasn't until the children gradually got used to it and the physical examination showed that there were no unacceptable consequences that his mood gradually improved.

Thankfully, none of the kids were sick during this time.But this good luck was soon broken.

One day, Zhao Changxing was laying the floor on Sedna, when suddenly Xiaoxi's voice came into his ears.

"Captain, I have detected that Qian Yue's body temperature is rapidly rising abnormally. It may rise to 40 degrees Celsius in half an hour. I need you to come back and deal with it."

Zhao Changxing felt his heart skip a beat, and tens of thousands of images flashed through his head in an instant, like every novice parent, feeling quite at a loss.

"Okay, why are you sick?"

He anxiously put down his work, not even caring about the peppers that could be harvested, and flew back directly on the Falcon spaceship.

After taking off the space suit, he rushed into the nursery immediately, and saw Qian Yue's face was flushed, her calves were kicking wildly, and she was crying there.

This made Zhao Changxing's heart ache.He quickly picked up Qian Yue and rushed into the infirmary.

Xiaoxi can formulate a medical plan, but he has to do the specific inspection and judgment.After some examination, he was relieved to confirm that Qian Yue only had mild gastroenteritis, which was completely controllable.

"Captain, this is the treatment plan for infants with mild gastroenteritis."

Xiaoxi immediately presented the medical plan in front of Zhao Changxing.

There are many medicines stored in the Tinder spacecraft, which are used by adults and children.Fortunately, these medicines were not lost, otherwise Zhao Changxing really had no choice.

After feeding the medicine, seeing Qian Yue fell into a deep sleep again, he thought about it, and decided to temporarily replace Qian Yue's food with milk powder.After all, patients are always privileged.

"Little guys, you must grow up healthy..."
