I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 520 - 418 Arrival

The efficiency of the new aircraft far surpasses that of the "sluggish" vehicles like helicopters.

In fact, the moment they took off, the flight speed of this new aircraft reached subsonic speeds.

If not for considering the physical endurance of the members aboard, the maximum flight speed of this aircraft could easily break the sound barrier.

Of course, if that were done, everyone except the pilot wearing a G-suit would have to withstand extreme G-forces, which could be problematic.

Still, even at subsonic speed, the flight allows this aircraft to cross several thousand kilometers in just a few hours, reaching Lucia’s capital.

"Shuguo and Haizhu have been sighted; we’re contacting them now." The pilot announced from the cockpit and promptly provided new feedback: "They’ve set up a temporary landing site on the ground, and I see the light signals."

As the pilot’s voice fell, Chen Xin noticeably felt the aircraft’s speed slow down, transitioning from high-speed flight to low-speed hovering prepping for landing.

Minutes later, the aircraft had already landed on the ground.

"Seems the landing method needs some improvement, the jolting is quite severe." Chen Xin noted this as he looked at the spilled water beside his seat.

After all, it’s a newly built aircraft; although there’s literally no issue across the board, some details appear a bit rough. For instance, the landing jolts are discomforting for passengers inside the aircraft.

If this aircraft were purely military, one wouldn’t need to stress about comfort; after all, military aircraft aren’t civilian, so a lack in comfort isn’t a concern.

However, this aircraft is used for medical rescue, so comfort must be considered as it might carry severely injured patients, and jolting could worsen their injuries.

But these are details to be addressed later; Chen Xin recorded the issues and moved on, focusing primarily on controlling the virus spreading in Lucia.

Though this preventive work is mainly managed by the expert team, Chen Xin isn’t in charge of specific affairs, but he can improve the equipment and devices needed for better defense against viral invasions and significantly aid in treating patients.

The expert team leader is aware of this, which is why they agreed to bring Chen Xin along.

"Alright, everyone put on your helmets; it’s cold outside." Chen Xin glanced at the display on the cabin wall and told the still-seated expert team.

The environmental temperature in Lucia is undoubtedly lower than domestically in Flame Country, reaching an astounding minus one hundred degrees; exposing skin in such temperatures would instantly freeze the water within, a truly deadly temperature.

Imagine all your skin freezing instantly, transforming from a living person to an ice sculpture in a blink, a terrifying notion.

Scenes from "The Day After Tomorrow," where helicopters freeze mid-flight, and Han Ziang’s final freeze in "Wandering Earth" eloquently depict how frighteningly low temperatures can be.

Of course, as long as proper protective measures are in place, humans can survive and even operate outdoors in such temperatures.

At least for those from Flame Country, if equipped with protective suits and sealed helmets, there’s nothing to worry about; the only concern is the battery level and oxygen supply indicated by the protective suits’ life-monitoring systems.

As long as the battery has power, the protective suit can provide enough heat to fend off the cold, requiring no external air, utilizing only air circulation within the suit to obtain oxygen for survival.

However, the protective suit only guarantees survival; to remove the helmet for eating and drinking, a safe environment with a manageable temperature is required.

Concerning this, Shuguo and Haizhu have naturally prepared a temporary camp on the ground when previous reinforcement troops arrived, allowing everyone to check in for a safer rest area.

But for the newly arrived medical expert team, there’s little time for eating or resting. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The moment they landed, they unloaded the supplies from the aircraft rapidly with help from prior reinforcement troops and staff dispatched by Shuguo and Haizhu, and immediately plunged into tense work.

"Contact Lucia’s side, ask them to provide the latest virus samples; if unable, Xiao Wang, take people to personally collect!" The expert team leader was allocating tasks, not wanting to waste a second: "If Lucia says they need help treating infected, say we’ve just arrived and aren’t equipped for mass patient care yet; have them send a couple ’zombies’ over, we’ll analyze them first!"

Though seemingly cold and unfeeling, the expert team’s main purpose is studying the virus itself, creating treatment plans and vaccines; patient treatment isn’t their task, and doing so could affect their primary work.

"Understood! I’m on it!" The man called Xiao Wang by the leader responded, turned, and left to contact Lucia’s side.

"The rest manage the camp setup, coordinate with the early rescue team comrades for situation updates; they should possess virus samples, inquire about their research progress, and get accustomed to conditions." The leader continued to allocate tasks, also glancing at Chen Xin attending the meeting, saying: "Doctor Chen, when can the aircraft’s laboratory be operational? If possible, I’d like you to quickly calibrate it so we can proceed with work."

"No problem, it’s a small task." Chen Xin nodded, accepting easily: "The lab underwent some adjustments before arriving, should, theoretically, be usable. However, I’m not a professional in this area, so you’ll have to adjust specific parameters yourselves."

Thinking for a moment, Chen Xin proposed to the leader: "Why not assign someone proficient in this area to assist me in calibrating the parameters? It should be ready today."

"Alright, I’ll have Xiao Li assist you; he has handled this work in the lab before." The leader nodded, assigning Chen Xin a person.

Chen Xin glanced at the person designated by the leader, offering a courteous smile.
