Chapter 9 Silent Heart

This is a planet in the Ice Age.

According to preliminary external measurements, the mass of this rocky planet located in the third orbit of the star system is about 3.8 times that of the earth, and has two satellites of different sizes.

When confirming all this, some excitement flashed through Xu Youyang's heart.

This means they have found the target.

Next is the ground-based exploration.

The huge frigate sank into the atmosphere. The first thing you see is a vast white area. The surface temperature of this planet is minus thirty degrees below zero. It is impossible to determine which stage of the glacier period it is in.

Even if this is a deserted glacial planet, this temperature will not pose a problem for the New Beijing fleet with interstellar navigation capabilities.

The atmospheric pressure of this planet is about 1.5 times that of the Earth, but the gravity is much weaker, only about four-fifths of the Earth.

This means that on this planet, you can really jump half a foot high.

The most important thing is that the oxygen content reaches 69%. In the current preliminary test, except for an unknown air component, other indicators are within the range that human fragile bodies can withstand.

These are absolutely good news.

But Xu Youyang soon realized that the possibility of such an environment giving birth to life is extremely high.

Although judging from the various situations of this planet and this star system, it is obvious that there is no higher-level civilization here, even civilizations that reach the level of Earth civilization before the end of the world, this does not mean that there will be no creatures here.

As long as the conditions are right, the long years are enough to make the chance of life born 100%.

Even if the planet currently looks like a glacial era that is not conducive to the survival of organisms.

But Xu Youyang, who has seen all kinds of strange creatures, knows that those conditions that cannot survive are often added to him by humans.

Xu Youyang took a deep breath and the frigate slowly sank to the height. In this endless white glacier world, the frigate was like a tiny black dot, flashing slightly, and seemed lonely in the empty and lifeless world.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Youyang immediately sent out all the detectors carried on his frigate, radiating in all directions with her frigate as the center, exploring the surface of this planet as comprehensively as possible.

Xu Youyang's own frigate is still descending in this endless empty world.

As the height decreases, the semi-arc white horizon disappears invisible, and the circular planet becomes flat and wide in the field of view. There is no other trace on the ice layer spreading along the ground, as if it is a natural work of art.

There are no visible buildings or creatures on the ground, but everything seems so desolate, but it seems full of infinite possibilities.

Wang Han, who hadn't spoken much, couldn't help but sigh: "This is infinite possibility... the universe wilderness, so many planets, and there are no traces of creatures that have ever stepped on... This... If humans can enter the era of space immigration, then everyone's back garden will probably be as big as a football field, right?"

Many people feel this way.

Compared to such a planet, the earth is really too crowded.

Someone couldn't help but agree and said, "Yes, you might be able to buy such a house for one dollar, right?"

"People don't have to go out. Family gatherings rely entirely on virtual projection technology, and shopping depends on robots..."

A small wave of discussion started in the bridge, and this vast and bright world made many people feel excited and almost forgot about their previous declining emotions.

Xu Youyang just smiled slightly at this and stared at the white world under his feet.

She planned to use her frigate to drill through the ice to see what was underneath.

This is the suggestion given by the frigate's AI intelligent brain. In such harsh environments, creatures are likely to exist under the ice.

Unknown creatures, even uncivilized creatures, may pose a threat to humans.

Eliminating threats is Xu Youyang's mission.

So she did not intend to join the discussion but was ready to hurry up.

Of course, at the same time, her email was sent out immediately and sent to the Wanderer, located one light year away from the star system, through a quantum communicator.

...

The same moment.

The Wanderer is in.

The good news from Xu Youyang was almost transmitted immediately, and Yuan Licheng chose to announce the news immediately.

A cold environment is not a problem, a resource-rich rocky planet is hope.

That is hope for rise.

This good news made many people feel excited and wished they could pounce on the planet immediately.

At this time, Su Ran was in his own room.

Seeing this news, Su Ran also let out a long breath. Compared to confirming the existence of rock planets, what he cared more about was the contents mentioned by Xu Youyang in his feedback message that there was no danger at the moment and no traces of other higher civilizations were found.

In Su Ran's opinion, the existence of rock planets is just generally important. The New Beijing fleet has Rovers, which is itself a space platform. The ecosystem inside Rovers can completely maintain the lives of the entire fleet. Even without rock planets, gas giant planets can become the target of mining resources.

The secondary Agent warships may not be able to pass through the harsh gas giant planets, but there is no problem with the warships of the Yuncheng and Wanderers. They can completely wander in the gas giant planets like taking a bath, like Leviathan, a huge monster cruising among the giant planets.

What is important is whether there is civilization.

Su Ran thought about it and sent a message to Li Yilan on the bridge, allowing the Wanderer to move and start moving towards the star system.

Of course, a light-year distance cannot be relied on flying. Su Ran could not delay such time, and in the end, he still had to rely on leaps in the past, but the new Beijing fleet that took action undoubtedly helped people to truly realize the arrival of hope.

Immediately afterwards, Su Ran invested most of the spare resource points he had at hand in the manufacturing of medical supplies to ensure the needs of the wounded in the fleet.

Just now, Su Ran received the latest news from Li Hexuan's frigate. Captain Tong Miaoqiu's vital signs were stable and he had completely escaped from the dangerous period.

After doing this, Su Ran let out a long breath, and felt as if he had a moment of relaxation in his heart.

His eyes were on the vast starry sky outside the porthole.

The star system that was "just close" seemed to be just a slightly brighter light-year in its eyes.

The Earth and the solar system are among the countless light spots behind this light year.

Earth.

home.

Old Qiao.

Looking at this dark starry sky that seemed to be unsatisfactory.

Su Ran was in a trance for a moment.

Has he really changed something?

Or has the earth pushed into a deeper abyss?
