Not long after the start of the second semester, all the freshmen of the mecha operation major and the battleship command major were taken away from the capital star and went to their respective training bases for practical training, and the whole freshmen gradually calmed down because of the departure of the star students.

Xiao Ai has also officially become a student majoring in planetary geology, and recently in addition to attending classes, he was also fortunate to join the geology group of the Daystar upgrade program to do chores.

In fact, basically the entire planetary geology major of Imperial University has invested in the Daystar upgrade plan. Unlike the previous renovation plan, this time the geology department at House Polytechnic University also participated with great fanfare, and the financial allocation and budget of the geology group was divided equally with the geology department of Imperial University. You know, the last time the renovation was planned, the Planetary Geology major at House Institute of Technology was established. In order to fight for a breath, the planetary geology major of Imperial University worked hard to earn back face.

As a freshman, Xiao Ai was assigned to the document entry team, mainly in the school studio for document entry and verification work, and it was not her turn to explore the site or anything.

The leader of the document entry team is Ace, a senior who is already in the fourth grade, and the five-year program of Imperial University, Senior Ace will graduate with a bachelor's degree in one year.

"Xiao Ai, when the verification of this batch of documents in hand is completed, our work for today will be over, isn't there a lecture by Professor Berstein in the evening, don't miss it." Senior Ace sped up his work as he instructed, and in addition to being the leader of the document entry team, he was also Professor Burstein's teaching assistant.

"Senior, why did Professor Burstein invite Professor Burt from House Institute of Technology to give a lecture with you?"

"Professor Burt also graduated from our Imperial University, and is the younger brother of Professor Burstein, and the two have always had a good relationship. Professor Burstein is the leading expert on energy crystal research in the entire interstellar world, so you should listen to today's lecture. The senior said to Xiao Ai.

In order to arrive early to help the seniors decorate the venue together, Xiao Ai hurriedly grabbed two mouthfuls of dinner and went to the hall where the lecture was held, so that Lori, who was looking for her, pounced.

The evening lecture was mainly Professor Burstein introducing his latest research results, and Professor Burt commenting on it. The results of this study are mainly related to the modification of the atmosphere of a planet and thus affect the geological structure of that planet.

In the interstellar era, not all planets are suitable for human habitation, and those planets that are not suitable for human habitation are mainly dealt with in two ways, one is the evolution of aborigines, such as Titans, in order to adapt to the excessively high nitrogen in the atmosphere of Titans, the Titans themselves will produce an exhalation system that can expel nitrogen, and the Titans will automatically separate the required oxygen and expel the nitrogen after inhaling the gas. The other is to transform the planet, to transform the planet's atmospheric system into an environment suitable for human habitation.

Modifications to atmospheric systems have been underway since the beginning of the interstellar era and even earlier, and some of the planets that have been modified have been millennia for thousands of years, and Professor Burstein believes that these modifications have changed the original geological course of the planets.

Professor Bert added that several of the larger energy crystals that have been discovered are more or less surrounded by traces of human modification, and they will focus on the impact of these human activities on the travel of the energy crystals.

"Do you have any research plans?" A member of the audience raised their hands and asked Professor Burt.

"Yes, we will jointly set up a project team to study the geological environment of several large energy crystal deposits that have been discovered, as well as the atmospheric modification environment that has occurred in the past, in order to discover the pattern." Professor Bert replied.

"I'd like to add," Professor Burstein smiled, "that this project has been named Project 612. ”

The formation of the 612 project was very smooth, the Imperial University and the House Institute of Technology geology department joined forces, which originally included the best talents, coupled with the research involving energy crystals, the 612 project not only applied for special scientific research funds from the empire, but also received a large number of private donations, which can be described as sufficient funds.

As one of the freshmen who was trained by Professor Burstein, Xiao Ai also joined the 612 project. In this way, she participated in the research of two projects at the same time, which can be described as very busy.

Lori finally caught Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, how is your Starnet account level?" As soon as I met Lori, I asked Xiao Ai.

"My star network level is the most ordinary minor level, and I haven't had time to go to the star network for a long time." The star network they are talking about refers to the three-dimensional login interface of the star network.

"No problem, you have time to go up and earn more points, it will be useful in the future, you wait for my news." After Lori finished speaking, he left, and little Ai was inexplicable.

Unlike the miscellaneous work of the geological team of the Daystar Upgrade Program, Xiao Ai also undertook scientific research tasks in the 612 project team, but it was still in the stage of data collection in the early stage. First of all, they had to identify the ten interstellar large energy crystals that were the research objects, and then sort out the transformation history of the planets where the ten energy crystals were located, and then compare the geological forms of the planets with similar environments that had not been transformed.

Xiao Ai is more attentive and motivated about the 612 project than the Daystar upgrade plan, the most important thing is that the 612 project is a field exploration project, and when the preparation work is almost over, Xiao Ai will also go to those large-scale energy crystal mines with the project team to investigate, which is much more interesting than the paperwork of the geological team of the Daystar upgrade plan.

"Why is our project named Project 612?" Just when everyone was busy, suddenly a question was thrown out of place.

"Is it the 612th project? Or item 12 under category 6? "Does this have anything to do with the two geology majors? The two geology majors were originally disgusted with each other. Apparently neither, and in the end everyone unanimously decided to ask the professor.

Professor Bernat smiled sweetly at the students: "This is the first project that Professor Burt and I have collaborated on since we became tenured professors, and we named Project 612 because we agreed to be each other's partners on June 12, decades ago. ”

Dog food came unexpectedly.
