"Brother Spred, have you forgotten? Now we only see half of the planet, and we haven't seen the other hemispheres where it's blocked. Atlas reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes." Perhaps because of the continuous unexpected pictures he had seen before, Zhou Xin's thinking seemed to be a little rhythmic at this time, and he finally reacted under the reminder of the little girl, "Hurry up and go to the other side of the planet to see the situation." ”

However, without Zhou Xin's instructions, Atlas had already given relevant instructions to the probe as he spoke. Next, after continuing to move some distance in the direction of the planet, the probe began to slow down and attempt to circle the other side of the planet.

At this distance, the probe's lens can no longer fit the entire planet. But relatively speaking, this also means that the surface of the planet represented in the picture has become clearer, and even now Zhou Xin and his family can see the drastic changes in the clouds floating in the planet's atmosphere. However, after careful search in this situation, they still did not see any trace of land on the surface of the planet on this side.

Before the second search was completed, the probe had already begun to orbit the planet, so everyone was busy focusing on the area that was constantly revealing as the probe moved, for fear of missing something. Thankfully, the probes aren't moving very fast these days, which allows them to scout every new area of the planet in a timely manner.

Fortunately, such an extremely eye-consuming painstaking search was not in vain, and it didn't take long for Spred to point to a corner of the picture and say loudly, "Look there." ”

The shout caught the attention of everyone in the command module, who first looked at Spred, then focused their gaze in the direction he was pointing to a corner of the screen. After careful inspection, they finally found an inconspicuous earthy yellow dot on the edge of the brighter side of the planet.

"Looks like it's an island?" At the first glance of that little dot, Zhou Xin subconsciously said his judgment.

"Judging from the appearance, it should be eight or nine without ten." As soon as he finished speaking, Dart answered.

"At least it shouldn't be the ocean." Spred said with a little pleasure.

After confirming Spred's discovery, the people in the command module immediately became excited, and they began to look more closely in the picture. It didn't take long for the second person to point to the screen and report his findings. Next, as the probe slowly flew towards the sunny side of the planet, everyone found many small yellow dots of different sizes on the surface of the brighter planet.

Hearing the constant reports of discoveries on the sunny side of the planet, Zhou Xin seemed to have an understanding, "Perhaps, we didn't make any discoveries before because we happened to see the shadow area of the planet. ”

"It's true that in the shadow area, it's really hard to spot such a small spot with such a light color." After finding a few points first, Spred's attention was long since he lost his attention to searching. Therefore, after hearing Zhou Xin's words, he immediately expressed his approval.

"The probe has just analyzed the images of other wavelength bands, but only a very weak signal has been observed at the corresponding positions of those islands, which is estimated to be disturbed by violent atmospheric activity on the surface of the planet." Atlas then added, "Coupled with the fact that these weak signals are mixed with the signals of atmospheric activity, they were not identified before." ”

"Hmm." After listening to Atlas's explanation, Zhou Xin nodded clearly. However, this problem had just been solved, and Zhou Xin, who was always paying attention to the surface of the planet, immediately had new questions, so he asked: "Could it be that there is no real continent on the surface of this planet except for these points that look like islands?" "That's right, it's been more than an hour since Spred discovered the first point, and in that time nearly thirty similar points have been discovered on the surface of the planet. However, the largest of these points is only the size of a fingernail, not to mention being called a continent, or even a large island.

"Who knows?" Dart replied noncommittally, "Anyway, I think this star system is full of oddities, and one more is not too much, at least we've found enough places for engineering ships to land." ”

This sentence brought Zhou Xin's thoughts back to reality, and after looking at the picture on the screen and thinking for a while, he ordered: "Atlas, let the follow-up probes carry out a detailed investigation of the planet, and try to figure out the situation of the entire planet, so that we can carry out the next action." Also, now that the planet has been confirmed to dock, there is no need for us to stay at the edge of the galaxy. Start the main engine and let's fly in. ”

With this order, everyone took action. After just ten minutes of preparation, the originally stationary Voyager began to move, heading towards the interior of the star system. At the same time, a large number of probes have also arrived at the newly discovered planet. At Atlas' behest, a small number of probes flew into different orbits over the planet to begin a comprehensive survey of the entire planet, while many more descended further to the planet's surface to explore it in detail. Soon, a large amount of data was refreshed around the image of the planet on the big screen.

Seeing that the time is still early, and the subsequent investigation and flight process will take time, and there is not much need to worry about it for the time being. So after handing over these tasks to the Voyager and Atlas, as well as the staff on duty, Zhou Xin went back to his room to catch up on sleep.

A few hours later, Zhou Xin, who had rested and had breakfast, returned to the command cabin. In such a short period of time, it is clear that the probe has no way to complete the exploration of the planet. And the spacecraft was seriously damaged and could not move at full speed because it had just reached the edge of the outer asteroid belt, which made Zhou Xin now have nothing to do. Extremely bored, Zhou Xin simply switched the camera to the few remaining external probes on the Voyager and observed the surrounding asteroids.

However, they have only just reached the edge of the asteroid belt, and the ship is not passing directly through the asteroid belt. So in the picture, Zhou Xin can't see the existence of several asteroids at all. Just as he was about to cut back because he didn't see anything of interest, Atlas's voice suddenly rang out......
