Seventy-eighth day after Voyager's arrival in the star system:

Everything on board the ship is developing in a good direction, and the physical condition of all the crew members has improved significantly, except for a few people who are still slightly weak, most of them are no longer in serious trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFive days ago, Wren had once again conducted a detailed examination of everyone's bodies. Based on the results of the examination, he judged that everyone would need to live on the planet for at least a month before they could fully return to normal. However, it will be necessary to conduct another examination of the bodies of all crew members in a month before it can be decided whether or not interstellar voyages can begin immediately after returning to normal.

"Uncle Captain!" On this day, Zhou Xin was routinely inspecting the daily situation in the base, and several people came up to him.

"Ralph." Zhou Xin greeted everyone, and then asked casually, "What are you doing?" ”

It's good that he doesn't ask the question, but if he does, it's a bad thing, Ralph said with a complaining tone; "Uncle Captain, it's so boring. There's not even a place to play here, and it's even more boring than when you're on a spaceship. When will we be able to go back? ”

Zhou Xin didn't answer this question immediately, but asked Aina, who was walking behind Ralph, about her physical condition, after all, she was the first person to start showing symptoms of weightlessness. When he learned that she was not a little tired, her body was fine, and Zhou Xin was relieved. Then he turned to Ralph and said, "According to Dr. Wren's examination, everyone will be in this place for at least a month." ”

"Huh?! It's going to be another month! Surprised, Ralph looked a little frustrated, "That's not to say, I'm going to be bored here for a month!" ”

"I can't help it." Zhou Xin's tone was also a little helpless, "For everyone's health, we can only continue to live here." ”

"But this planet is so boring." Ralph's tone looked a little lost, "There's nothing, people don't even have a chance to go out and play." Then she shook Zhou Xin's hand and begged, "That--that-Uncle Captain, can you let me go back to the Voyager first." Hearing this, even the eyes of the few people behind him lit up.

"Ralph!" Just when Ralph was coquettish, Wren's voice came from behind Zhou Xin, "You're disturbing the captain again." I want to go back to the spaceship before my body recovers, don't die, right? ”

Hearing Dr. Wren's voice, Ralph, who was very lively in front of Zhou Xin, suddenly quieted down. She lowered her head and said, "It's so boring to stay here." Isn't there a gravity simulation device on the spaceship, isn't it the same for people to stay in it? ”

"How can the simulated gravity be compared to the stable gravitational field that naturally forms on the planet." Wren's tone looked a little angry, "Besides, I don't know about you, I can't stay here anymore, do I expect you to stay in the gravity simulator for a long time?" ”

"This-people know it's wrong." Ralph whispered.

Hearing that she had admitted her mistake, Wren's tone relaxed slightly, and then he said: "The results of the physical examination a few days ago show that your current physical condition is still in the relatively weak category, and you need to stay on the planet to recuperate. It would be nice not to let you stay here any longer, and I thought I'd go back right away. ”

"Oh-"

"Don't wander around the base and get some exercise, which will also help your body recover." Wren still kept saying, "If you look at the others, they're basically almost recovered, why are you still like this." According to the results of your examination, you have not adhered to the fixed daily exercise time I assigned to you. I just want to go back early and give me exercise. ”

After chattering for a long time, Wren realized that Zhou Xin was still beside him. After waving his hand to let Ralph, who was already a little restless beside him, leave, he said to Zhou Xin with a smile: "How old are you and you still look like a child, but it has caused you a lot of trouble." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Xin waved his hand, "I still like her character." Then he laughed, "It's just to tease her, anyway—" He winked mischievously at Wren, "I won't let her out of here, no matter how much she begs me." ”

Hearing this, Wren also smiled. After a while, he became serious and said to Zhou Xin, "I think it's time to replace those people who stayed on the spaceship, if they stay on the spaceship for a while, I'm worried that the recovery from some time ago will lose its effect." ”

"In that case, let's do it now." Zhou Xin nodded, "We will send back the best group of people according to their physical health conditions." ”

"That's what I thought too." Wren agreed, and with that, he left.

Glancing at Wren's back, Zhou Xin turned around and prepared to continue his unfinished inspection work. At this time, his communicator suddenly rang.

"Brother Captain! Brother Captain! As soon as he pressed the button, Atlas's excited voice came out of it, "New discovery!" And it's a big discovery! ”

"Oh, what's new?" Zhou Xin stopped what he was about to take and asked the little girl curiously.

"It's a probe! The probe has discovered a planet where life is likely to exist! No matter how much Zhou Xin thought about it, he would never have imagined that the news that came out of Atlas's mouth would be such a shocking news. Immediately, he became excited, "A planet with life?!" He subconsciously confirmed. After saying this, Zhou Xin reacted that it seemed a little wrong, and then he asked, "You found life on that supergiant planet?" How can it be? Didn't you just investigate the environment on the surface of the planet if it was not suitable for life? Did you find a suitable place for life on it? Or is it to find a life that can survive in extremely harsh environments? ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's series of questions, Atlas whetted his appetite instead, "Brother Captain, you guessed wrong. ”

"Isn't that right?" The little girl's answer surprised Zhou Xin. Seeing that she still didn't say the meaning of the answer, Zhou Xin had no choice but to guess by himself: "Could it be that you have discovered another planet with life in the habitable zone?" ”

"That's not right, but you're close to the answer, brother Captain." A mysterious smile appeared on Atlas's face.

At this time, Zhou Xin was even more puzzled, and then he put forward a few more conjectures, but they were all denied by the little girl. After ten minutes, Zhou Xin gave up, and he reluctantly said to the little girl with color in the communicator: "I really can't think of it, you better tell me the correct answer." ”

"Haha, Brother Captain, you can't guess it." The little girl laughed, "But I can't blame you, because the place where life was found this time is indeed a little different from our usual habits, and even people were a little surprised when they saw the picture sent back by the probe for the first time." Then she reminded, "Brother Captain, do you remember when people mentioned the large number of moons around the supergiant planet? ”

"You're saying that the place where life was discovered this time was on a moon around a supergiant planet?" Just a reminder, Zhou Xin reflected what the little girl wanted to express.

"That's right, it's one of those satellites." Atlas nodded, and then began to introduce the process of discovering the moon, "Isn't the investigation of the supergiant planet almost complete, and the investigation of the asteroid belt is not interesting, and people want to see if there are any unique places around the more than 100 moons around the supergiant planet." I really didn't expect to be discovered by someone after just observing a few of them. As she spoke, the little girl on the screen disappeared and was replaced by a picture of a planet.

Although this photo is a little blurry because the angle taken is backlit, Zhou Xin still saw the abnormality at first sight. Not otherwise, because there are a large number of cloud-like objects floating on the surface of the planet.

"There's an atmosphere on this satellite?" Zhou Xin asked, in his cognition, there are not many satellites with an atmosphere, but it is not nothing. So when he asked the question, he wasn't particularly surprised, but he felt a little unexpected.

"Brother Captain, you're right, obviously there is an atmosphere on this planet." Atlas confirmed Zhou's idea, and she continued, "It was this photo that piqued my interest, so I let the probe fly around the satellite a few times. And then I saw something much more interesting from another angle. Before he could finish speaking, another picture appeared on the screen.

This time, the image is the sunny side of the planet, and when the light is sufficient, the clouds floating above the planet can be seen more clearly. In addition, there is another noteworthy scene on the planet - a huge liquid ocean, no different from when Zhou Xin looked at the Earth from space in the past.

"Ocean?!" When he said these two words, Zhou Xin's tone was already a little surprised, and he began to believe a little that there was life on the planet before Atlas.

"Well, it's a liquid ocean, and although the specific composition has yet to be analyzed, it is very likely that its main component is liquid water judging from the reflectivity." Atlas replied seriously, "Look at the rest of the world besides the ocean, brother Captain." ”

Under the little girl's reminder, Zhou Xin shifted his gaze to the land of the planet. Then he was surprised to find that unlike the lifeless colors of earthy yellow, gray-yellow and other things on the surface of those uninhabited planets he had seen before, the continent color of the planet on the screen was actually dark green. And it's a large area of dark green, covering almost all the continents that can be seen in the field of vision. It can be said that there are only two colors that make up the planet, one of which is the azure blue of the ocean, and the other is the dark green of the continent. Even, because the planet's oceans cover a relatively small area, the whole planet seems to be more dark green.

"This-this-" Such a vision made Zhou Xin a little unsure of what to say, and after a while, he asked, "How can the land of this planet be this color?" Where did this color come about? ”

"People can't be sure for the time being." Atlas's answer was not what Zhou Xin expected, but then she added, "But a probe has been sent to the surface of the planet to investigate, and the results should be available in a while." ”

"Uh-okay." Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, and then he asked, "You said that there is life on this planet, is there any evidence?" ”

"People just said that there is probably life on this planet." Atlas corrected, "As for whether there really is life. An innocent expression appeared on her face, "People don't know now." ”

"......" This answer made Zhou Xin a little speechless, and he said helplessly, "Then why don't you come and inform me after you investigate." ”

"Brother Captain, don't you think it's boring to know the result at once? In contrast, the process of investigation is a little more interesting. She said in a tone of course, but after saying this, she had an embarrassed look on her face, "That-of course people are a little anxious-"

"I think the latter one is the main reason." Zhou Xin said angrily, but he didn't delve too deeply. Because this news really aroused his strong interest, regardless of whether there is life on this planet in the end, it is worth investigating the dark green color of the planet's surface. Although Zhou Xin had already had an idea about the cause of dark green, he felt that his idea was still a little unrealistic, so he did not confirm it with Atlas.

Since he has discovered such an interesting planet, Zhou Xin has no intention of inspecting any more bases. He walked back to his office and instructed Atlas to relay the communications there.

Open the door to the office, and the little girl on the screen has been waiting there for a long time.

"Brother Captain, the probe sent to that satellite to carry out the investigation mission has touched the outermost layer of the planet's atmosphere, and it is expected to be able to land on the surface of the planet in about half an hour." Hearing Zhou Xin's voice, Tesla immediately reported the current progress of the detector. At the same time, images from the landing probe were shown on the screen.

Glancing at the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin's brows furrowed slightly, and then he asked, "Why did the probe choose such a landing direction......?" ”
