The Endeavour spacecraft is getting closer to Ceres, the only dwarf planet in the asteroid belt, but it is very small, only one-third the size of the Moon.

Ceres' ravines are criss-crossed, and the texture of the rock formations is relatively loose.

The Endeavour spacecraft hovered at an altitude of five or five meters above the surface of Ceres.

After Zhou Yu received the news that the spacecraft was stationed, he climbed out of the protective cockpit.

In the hall of the spaceship, scientists have already arrived.

Zhou Yu said happily: "This trip was very good, and no one fell ill because of the long journey in space.

We have reached the planet Ceres, the only dwarf planet in the asteroid belt.

Ceres is already the farthest planet we can safely control now, and we need to analyze its value and even use it as a springboard to develop resources on Jupiter. ”

Zhou Yu just told the scientists about the long-term plan for the future, and now they can only complete the initial exploration of Ceres.

Reaching the asteroid belt is already a safe limit distance that a spacecraft can travel right now.

Flying further afield, communication and energy problems are limited, and it is impossible to obtain technical support from the earth.

They are like a lone sail in the middle of a vast ocean, ready to be swallowed by a sea full of dangers.

Within a safe distance of spacecraft, there are Venus, Mercury, and Mars waiting for human development, and they are in no hurry or technology to develop Jupiter now.

The asteroid belt is very rich in resources, and they will provide abundant raw materials for space development, and this region cannot be abandoned.

Scientists wear spacesuits, and intelligent robots carry equipment.

They jumped off the spaceship and came to Ceres. This is the first time that a man has set foot on Ceres.

Most of the ground on Ceres is gravel in the area where the spacecraft landed, and these sand grains are so soft that people will sink directly when they step on the ground.

Scientists are hovering above Ceres in anti-gravity devices.

Scientists split up according to their own projects and began to explore the situation of Ceres in different regions.

The geology team was the first to obtain data on Ceres, and they only needed rock specimens collected by probes on microsatellites and intelligent robots.

They will be able to analyze the geological composition of Ceres.

Cao Dajiang, the leader of the geological group, drove the anti-gravity equipment and found Zhou Yu and others who were experiencing the situation of Ceres on a hard rock mountain.

Cao Dajiang passed a message to Zhou Yu through the quantum bracelet and said: "Mr. Zhou, our geological group has found out the basic situation of the geological composition of Ceres."

Zhou Yu jumped on the spot, because the gravitational pull of Ceres was very small, he jumped directly over a distance of more than 30 meters and came to the vicinity of Cao Dajiang.

"Is Ceres rich in resources? What are its features? Zhou Yu asked with concern.

Cao Dajiang will immediately report: "Mr. Zhou, Ceres is a dwarf planet composed of carbon and silicate, and it is rich in iron, nickel, aluminum, copper and other metals, but it has no mining value.

There are occasional small veins on Ceres, but we can't even recover the transportation costs when we mine them. ”

When Zhou Yu heard Cao Dajiang's introduction, he was not surprised at all. The amount of a metal contained in a planet is not necessarily related to the veins that make up the metal.

The earth's soil is very rich in aluminum, and the gold and silver reserves in the earth's seawater far exceed those of giant veins. But none of these have mining value.

Rare and precious metals can now be refined on a small scale in seawater, and no one has ever refined the metal aluminum from the soil.

Zhou Yu continued to listen to Cao Dajiang's report.

"There are very few giant veins to mine on Ceres, just a few very scattered small veins.

The minerals on Ceres are also very common, and any kind of mineral on it is available on Earth.

30% of Ceres' geological composition is made up of water, and most of it is permafrost and ice crystals.

But we are drilling for the geology of Ceres based on intelligent robots.

We can get definite results that Ceres has a core composed of iron and nickel.

The inner core of Ceres is affected by the gravitational pull of the Sun and the gravitational attraction of the eye, and part of the inner core becomes fluid, and flows in a small area.

In this state, the core of Ceres produces a certain amount of heat.

This heat melts the ice crystals of the geological layer, and deep in Ceres' crust, there is some liquid water. ”

When Zhou Yu heard the news, his tone trembled a little, and he asked again: "There is liquid water on Ceres, there is really liquid water."

Cao Dajiang nodded solemnly and said, "We have obtained the specimen, and there is indeed liquid water inside the crust of Ceres."

Zhou Yu confirmed the authenticity of the news, and he immediately summoned scientists and began to discuss the matter.

There is the presence of liquid water on Ceres, which is important news.

Water is the source of life, and in the process of forming life in organic matter, it is indispensable to have the participation of water, and it must also be liquid water.

Scientists sprang into action, first of all, to find a source of liquid water deep in Ceres' crust.

Later, it will be confirmed whether there is any life in the liquid water.

The geological team began to move, and they probed near previously detected water sources. Soon after, a liquid water source deep in Ceres' crust was discovered.

Zhou Yu commanded with a serious expression: "Everyone be careful, this is a very rare liquid water source on Ceres.

We must explore carefully and record every detail carefully.

We may discover the origin of life by exploring this liquid water source. ”

Scientists quickly worked out what was needed to explore the liquid water source, based on the specific conditions on the ground.

Based on the conditions laid out by the scientists, the engineers began to design a specific process for exploring the liquid water source.

When everything was ready, the engineer commanded the robot to go into action.

They carefully dug a deep well on Ceres, gradually approaching the liquid water source.

"It's going to be dug through right away, be careful, everyone must be careful."

The intelligent robot quickly dug through this liquid water source, and Xinghuo Technology was very careful not to let the machinery interfere with this liquid water source.

State-of-the-art instrumentation began to probe the specifics of this liquid water source.

Collect information on the temperature, water pressure, oxygen content, and composition of this liquid water source. Focus on the presence of organic matter in the liquid water source.

"Mr. Zhou, we have discovered an unknown life, and we have discovered a new life on Ceres." The scientists reported in surprise when they saw the data given by the instrument.

"To preserve this liquid water source and the life in it, the origin of life may be discovered from here, and we must probe every data to protect the newly discovered unknown life." Zhou Yu commanded.

Scientists quickly mobilized state-of-the-art equipment to analyze the environment in which unknown life on Ceres lived.

After the scientists collected all the data, they asked Zhou Yu to return home, and only more advanced equipment on Earth could answer the questions that the unknown life on Ceres brought to scientists.
