The huge ice hockey, completely covered by ice and snow, hangs in the dark starry sky of the universe, flashing with crystal snow.

This is the scene that Louis saw from outside the atmosphere, using the observation window of the tiny satellite constellation, "bird's view" of the planet.

Even though it was "hanging high" on the ground for hundreds of kilometers to thousands of kilometers, or even tens of thousands of kilometers, from the "virtual observation window" of satellite constellations distributed in different orbits in low, medium and high orbits, Louis still felt a bone-thundering cold air.

"It's a big ice hockey. Just name it "Frozen Star".

Louis murmured to himself that this planet is no longer a sequential numbered planet without any aesthetics, but is called "Frozen Star".

"Since it is a pioneering planet, it means that it is suitable for the survival of the Milky Way to the minimum. Some creatures should exist."

Louis is now alone, in this desolate planet, talking to himself has become one of the ways for him to adjust his mind and maintain his mental stability.

Living in an environment where no one is lonely, loneliness and loneliness are inevitable. In the distant era of interstellar navigation, many astronauts gradually became withdrawn, irritable, irritable, suspicious and aggressive due to psychological problems, and even committed suicide in despair, or developed into self-killing among peers. There are countless bloody examples. Therefore, the basic skills of citizens integrate knowledge in psychology, neurology, psychiatry, etc., and there are a lot of auxiliary compulsory subjects such as psychological self-adjustment and control, self-hypnosis and relaxation, mind condensation, mental exercise, and emotional intelligence training. It can be said that citizens' basic skills have concentrated the most advanced professional knowledge and skills in psychology, psychiatry, etc. since the Milky Way's own intelligent race and human civilization, and tried to significantly reduce the chance of interstellar travel inducing psychological diseases.

These knowledge and skills can theoretically allow an ordinary citizen to have extremely "excellent" psychological qualities, calm, **, rational, cautious, and maintain a cheerful and tenacious mentality, so as not to be withdrawn or out of place. Otherwise, if a person has a long night on the space road and cannot be relieved by his psychological problems, he will eventually fall into a crazy and manic state in his long-term loneliness. Federal citizens who have completed the intermediate training of basic citizen skills can indeed rely on their own knowledge and skills to control and adjust their mental state. However, this cannot solve all problems. Many people still need the help of a "psychotherapy interventionist", or the pastor of some legal religions can help these people to get rid of psychological hidden dangers and mental burdens.

From the virtual observation window, all the frozen stars are transformed into intuitive and clear chart symbols, which are automatically added to Louis' focal point of sight.

The 'Satellite Constellation Virtual Reality LAN System' has certain AI intelligence, which can change the real-time video of the virtual spiritual realm present in front of the user in real time according to the user's current viewpoint position and line of sight direction, and mark various projection information, such as key geographical data, threats, security status, and resources and security threats in the areas that Louis is concerned about; or issue eye-catching visual prompts to tell the user the area they should pay attention to.

Adjusting the observation window, Louis pulled the frozen star closer to his eyes and made more careful observation and study.

If there are creatures on this planet, especially higher organisms, generally speaking, the "canyon landforms" on the planet will become a refuge for many plants and animals during the long ice age or in areas with geothermal abundant areas, which can also provide the necessary shelter for organisms.

This is the place Louis is looking for—to survive on the Ice Star, he must obtain resources, and he is not sure how long he will stay on the planet, and before his existing resources are exhausted, he must build up the necessary reserves: food and other necessities.

The innate conditions of the frozen star are actually quite superior. Gravity, magnetic field, atmosphere, lithosphere, and water sources are relatively suitable for the survival of intelligent humans. However, the planet is in a long and cold ice age. Large-scale initial development on this planet is obviously very energy consumption, and the cost of 30% or 40% more than the average level is optimistic. Moreover, food is not easy to obtain on-site. In order to meet human food demand, the initial development stage will inevitably rely on external transportation supplies, and increase a large amount of transportation and procurement costs without reason, and the development costs will inevitably rise. Therefore, it is not necessary to make in-depth development investment at this stage. Unless there are rare minerals or rare species with extremely high capital return rates, it is worth investing a lot of money for commercial development. Otherwise,

It can only be registered as a reserve planet - although the scientific and technological level of the Galaxy Federation has been able to transform any planet that is not suitable for the survival and development of smart humans into an administrative planet that is basically suitable for the survival and development of human beings, development costs and capital returns are key factors that must be considered. Any commercial consortium will consider investment risks, cost control and risk control. Therefore, unless it is those planets with significant strategic value, the federal government and local governments of various states will transform and build them at any cost in the form of government fiscal appropriations. Other planets, if there are insufficient attractive economic factors in both investment costs and capital returns, will not be favored and valued by the government and large consortiums.

It is for this reason that there is no ground base established by the Pathfinder Company on this planet, and there are no floating airships at high altitudes. Every time Pioneer Roadfinder finds a suitable planet for residence, it will automatically enjoy considerable rights. Whether it is the roadfinder Company invests in pioneering development on its own, or other companies take over the subsequent pioneering development. The size of the rights enjoyed by the Pathfinder Company is closely related to the level of its survey. Ground bases, floating airships, etc. are one of the best physical evidence for the Pathfinder Company to prove its survey, and it can better prove the legitimate rights and interests of the Pathfinder Company on the planet than the "Space Orbital Microsatellite Constellation".

Since there were no ground bases, floating airships, etc. found on the Frozen Star, Louis understood that self-reliance and survival in the Territory are his only way out now. It is still unknown when the federal police and prison authorities can send a login search and rescue team. If there is no special reason, it is possible for a month. As for whether the Norton family may send a hiring killer, Louis could not take it at this time.

All reserves are important, so finding a ‘canyon’ or ‘geothermal enrichment zone’ with still animal and plant remains to obtain necessary food and other reserves will become Louis’ primary goal for temporarily surviving on this planet.

The altar logs on the ‘Satellite Constellation’ show that this planet was actually discovered more than a thousand standard years ago, which was a very distant era before the founding of the Galaxy Federation.

After the Frozen Star was discovered for the first time, a small number of galactic humans visited one after another.

For civilized humans in the interstellar era, although water can be synthesized on spacecraft using water-making machinery and equipment, and the various resources on spacecraft are controlled by recycling strategies, the natural loss of ship-borne water resources is generally very low, and water resources may not be necessary supplies during interstellar travel, but compared with the situation where the synthesis of drinking water by machinery and equipment requires a large amount of energy and mineral element reserves, replenishing water reserves from water-containing planets or comets is still cost-effective in terms of overall cost.

If an interstellar sailing happens to have a planet like Frozen Star on the planned route, it is still worthwhile to make a short stay and replenish it for this - of course, this is not as convenient as replenishing water resources on administrative planets where humans live.

There are various reasons for people who visited the Frozen Star: some were passing interstellar expeditions to replenish some water and ore on this planet; some were the armies of some countries in the Milky Way before, and they also visited for the purpose of short supply; even a small group of interstellar pirates had stayed here for a brief period of time; the latest visit was recorded when a scientific expedition team visited this planet for supply. While they were briefly conducting scientific research on this planet, they also voluntarily carried out conventional technical maintenance on the entire satellite constellation, and voluntarily replaced and supplemented some tiny satellites that were completely damaged and could no longer be repaired. After that, in the hundreds of years after the founding of the Federation, no one visited this planet.

With the visit of these pioneers, some human activities have been added to the locations they have visited, and the value of satellite databases has also increased by several thousand points.

The updating of database information can help latecomers avoid possible dangerous places, and the map data indicates which areas there are biological activities, which is helpful to Louis.

To obtain reserves, Louis must plan a course of action so that the next step of action can be carried out.

He can use the "Spiritual Planet" to plan ways to reach biological settlements - canyons or geothermal-rich areas from the landing point.

Hurricanes, thunder, electromagnetic storms, snowstorms, and the constant changes in the planet's weather make it impossible for him to strictly follow the planned route. He may need to plan multiple backup routes and adjust them along the way. Otherwise, he may be in danger or die in irresistible disasters, and even if there is a symbiotic agent by his side, it will be useless.

While calling the database on the star and observing the landform of the frozen star, Louis also browsed the mineral items in the resource catalog. He found that the mineral resources on the frozen star are still quite rich, especially the existence of uranium mines, which gives him hope to solve the energy supply on the spot when he is on the verge of despair. However, this is a problem that will only be considered when necessary in the future. If Louis survives alone on the frozen star, the energy problem will not be difficult to solve. For example, the "microsatellite constellation" will gather various cosmic radiation energy in orbit.

, the function of conversion and transportation can provide and meet some energy needs. Although the energy that satellite constellations can provide cannot support the huge energy required for the initial development of the entire planet, and the energy density and quality of the energy provided by satellite constellations are not high, it is absolutely more than enough to only provide Louis with the energy needs to survive on the frozen planet. It is very difficult to develop uranium ore. Without the necessity, Louis does not want to work hard to develop uranium ore energy stored on the planet.

The main control intelligent brain of the lifesaving capsule has now drawn up the preliminary "spiritual planet". Louis, who received a real-time reminder of the symbiotic intelligent brain, then instructed to access the "spiritual planet". A temporary virtual local area network was built between the satellite constellations, the main control intelligent brain of the lifesaving capsule, the main control intelligent brain of the lifesaving capsule, and the personal digital assistant, to realize resource sharing and interconnection within the system.

The work instructions were immediately issued to the entire virtual LAN, searching for all the "canyon" landforms and geothermal enrichment areas on the surface of the Frozen Star, and searching for all areas that once had records of life activities. This is the first step in planning the action route - collecting as many candidate resources as possible for further identification and screening.

The precise latitude and longitude coordinates of the landing site of the former government property that has been regarded as private property by Louis, who survived the emergency, were also added to the task directory list of the "intelligent vertical search engine" of the virtual LAN, as Louis will soon learn from the search results from the current latitude and longitude coordinates of other aerospace lifesaving capsules.

The planned action route will start with the landing point a1.0000 of these life capsules.
