"Woo~Woo~Whoa~Whoa~"

Hara and Smith sat in the Quanyue space rover, and all that was left to their ears was the dull sound of the wheels rolling on the gravel except for the roar of the electric engine.

Away from the oasis, looking out through the car window, the life around me has plummeted, and I am back in a barren world, full of gravel as far as the eye can see, and the silence is incomparable.

Sand Star is three times larger than Earth, and although the natural environment is relatively harsh, the number of oases on the surface is extremely large.

It was impossible for them to go and investigate one by one.

After a short distance, Izumi Moon quickly returned to the docking place of the Mirai spacecraft.

The two walked off the Izumi Moon one after the other, and Smith stretched out in place, and the 122% gravity level didn't seem to cause any obstacles for him.

"Take the vehicle back to the Mirai spacecraft." Hara instructed Smith to move the collected plant and lake water samples from the car.

"Woo~Woo~"

Lynn opened the entry module of the Mirai spacecraft, where Hara and Smith had to complete some basic tests before they could enter the Mirage.

"Lynn, we're back, but unfortunately we didn't bring you the Sand Star." Smith excitedly greeted Lynn, who was stationed.

"Isn't it a pity that you didn't start an interstellar war with the Sand Starers?" Lynn teased.

"Don't talk about this, I'll show you the video of the Sand Star Man in a moment." Smith enthusiastically shared with Lynn what he had seen in the oasis, "It's a pity that you can't see clearly in the satellite, the sand people are simply weak." Also, the commander was really extraordinary, and it only took a few hours to learn the language of the Sand Stars......"

"Such a wonderful !!" Lynn listened to Smith's eloquent description, admiring from time to time.

"Let's take the Future to the next oasis, this time the largest one." Yuan Haochen fully isolated and sorted out the samples he brought back, and then suggested to the other two.

"Okay." "Listen to your command!"

It didn't take long for Lynn to identify the largest oasis on Sand Star through observation satellites. This oasis was on the other side of the Sand Star, and the Future made a few adjustments before heading straight for it.

If you look at Sand Star from a cosmic perspective, you will find that the division of day and night is irregular, because there are two "suns", so after one "sun" goes down, there may be another "sun" in the sky, and it is still daytime. Only after both suns have set in succession can it be considered night.

Of course, there is another very distant and small "sun" in the Alpha Centauri system, which is Proxima Centauri.

Because Proxima Centauri is only a speck of light in the sky, it has a much smaller impact on the diurnal rays of Sand Star than the other two stars.

Because of its peculiar binary star system, the days are much longer than the nights.

Also because in the peculiar binary star system, the relative position and angle between Sand Star and the two stars change irregularly, so the ratio of day and night time of Sand Star is not constant.

Accustomed to seeing the sun rising in the east and setting in the west regularly every day on the earth, the three of Yuan Haochen were amazed by this scene.

This is also happening on several other planets in the Alpha Centauri system.

In the near future, Yuan Haochen and the others will experience the different sunset landscapes on each planet one by one.

Presumably, this is also a commendable blessing.

With Future's capabilities, they soon reached the other side of the planet.

Because the Future was flying with its back to the night, this side of the Sand Star was still in the daylight phase.

It's still the same plan of action, it's still the same staffing arrangement. Lynn continued to stay on board the Future as logistical support, while Hara and Smith rode the Quanyue space rover to the Oasis.

The lake in this oasis is nearly 10 times larger than the one that meets Popodam, so the vegetation around the oasis also looks much more abundant.

But what disappointed Yuan Haochen was that in addition to the large number of plants here, there was no essential difference between the types and the previous oasis, and they were also dominated by some lower plants.

"This should have something to do with what Bopodam said about the environmental upheaval." Hara recalled the conversation with Bopodam and made inferences.

Perhaps there were some higher plants on the Sand Star a long time ago, and the ecological structure would be much more complex than it is now, and Yuan Haochen even boldly guessed that there should be other kinds of insects and even animals on the Sand Star of that period.

However, with the upheaval of the environment, all this was destroyed, leaving only the Nameks who fled to the underworld.

There are relatively abundant water resources under the Sand Star, so the microbial ecosystem underground has gradually flourished and become the survival of the Namek people.

As for the lower plants that grow in the oases of the surface world today, they should have reappeared in a relatively recent era.

As with the previous oasis mission, Hara collected samples of plants and water, while Smith was in charge of guarding.

Through ultrasound detection, Yuan and Smith also found a large number of whip-like tails in the depths of the lake, as well as a large mouth, and some unkempt tentacles extending from the opening.

Hara and Smith even managed to capture two of them using the equipment in the space car.

This peculiar aquatic creature certainly doesn't look like a fish on Earth, but more like an aquatic insect on Earth.

Yes, that reminded Hara of turtles (a common aquatic insect) in the river farmland of his hometown, but they were larger and had whip-like tails.

After a long and busy time, the night of the Sand Star finally fell.

As he was about to leave the oasis, Smith said regretfully, "Why didn't you see a sand star running out of the lake this time?" ”

In this regard, Yuan Haochen just smiled and shook his head.

The two of them then returned to the spacecraft in the Quanyue space vehicle.

In the hazy night of the Sand Star, the Future Ship roared through the sky, and she was flying to the next planet to be explored, which was the Dung Star in the mouths of Yuan Haochen and others.

According to the plan, they will separately attack the four planets in the Alpha Centauri system (the planet a0.4 AU away from Alpha Centauri may not be able to land due to the high temperature), and after making a preliminary understanding, they will formulate an action plan and take more in-depth exploration actions.

On the way to the Dung Star, Yuan arranged for Smith to continue the monitoring work through the three satellites in the outer space of the Sand Star. He and Lynn went to a special isolation lab to study all the samples they had collected...... (To be continued.) )
