"Ice—a superstar?" Zhou Xin subconsciously said to himself, "No—if it's really an ice superstar, then it's troublesome......"

"It's—theoretically impossible." At this time, Atlas's reaction seemed more surprised than everyone else, "How can it be an ice giant?" Now that the probe is so close to the star, the temperature on the planet's surface should not be so low. But what she saw made her believe it was real.

"This galaxy is really weird. First I encountered two huge asteroid belts on the periphery, and then I saw an ice giant star so close to the star, which is really a long sight. Spred replied with interest.

"Now is not the time for insight." Hearing Spred's words, Dart looked a little anxious, "If it's really an ice giant, then how can our ship be repaired?" There's not much we need on the Ice Giant. ”

"Maybe we'll have to go around the asteroid belt for a while." Zhou Xin looked at the picture on the screen and said attentively.

Although it has been determined that it is an ice giant, the necessary investigation is still necessary, and even many people, especially Atlas, want to know how this type of planet formed and can exist so stably in orbit so close to a star. Therefore, the probe did not stop itself, but continued in the direction of the planet.

As the probe approached, the originally vague surface of the planet began to reveal more and more features. When the planet in the lens was about the size of an orange, Zhou Xin, who had been staring at it, gradually showed some doubts on his face.

"Strange, it doesn't seem like it—" he muttered to himself thoughtfully, "the color seems a little dark, could it be caused by some special element on the planet's surface?" And what are those white stripes? ”

At first, it was only Zhou Xin who had such doubts, but soon, many people, including Spred, began to doubt the initial judgment. Then, as more and more details were revealed on the surface of the planet, the suspicions slowly turned into surprises.

"Water! Brother Captain! That's water! Just as Zhou Xin, who realized that his judgment was wrong, was about to speak, Atlas rushed to shout, "That planet is not an ice giant at all. ”

That's right, it wasn't until now that Zhou Xin finally recognized that the blue color represented was not the blue of the surface of the ice giant at all, but the blue of the surface of the ocean. He didn't think about it in this direction before because the two asteroid belts he encountered earlier misled him, making Zhou Xin think that this should be a desolate star system, and there should not be a planet with a lot of liquid water. Unexpectedly, the reality was so unexpected that it actually gave them such a surprise.

"There seems to be atmospheric activity on the surface of the planet." After Atlas, Spred also recognized the white areas on the planet's surface, "Those white areas must be clouds." ”

"With a lot of liquid water on the surface and obvious atmospheric activity, could it be that there is still life on this planet?" Dart was immediately excited.

"Don't overthink it." Zhou Xin glanced at Dart, "Water and atmosphere are just the most basic conditions, if there is life on any planet we find, then life in the universe is too worthless." Let's focus on the investigation of the planet itself. ”

"Haha-ha-ha-that's what I said." Just now, he just subconsciously said his thoughts, and he didn't think about it at all, so he looked a little embarrassed now. Of course, no one cared about Dart's performance at this time, and everyone's attention was all on the planet on the screen.

"How do I think — this planet in front of me is a little weird?" It seemed that there weren't enough surprises today, and when the planet in the picture was about the size of a full moon, a hesitant voice suddenly sounded in the command module.

"Eccentric? Is there anything quirky about it? After receiving the reminder of this voice, Zhou Xin carefully observed for a long time, but he didn't find anything wrong in the picture, so he asked. At the same time as Zhou Xin asked, the little girl's brows on the screen also furrowed, and it was obvious that he, like Zhou Xin, did not find anything strange.

"Uh—that's hard to say." The owner of the voice wasn't entirely sure, and he replied hesitantly, "I just think that this planet in front of me doesn't look a little different from what we've encountered before. ”

His answer piqued everyone's curiosity, and in order to find the strangeness that the man mentioned, they began to look more closely at the planet on the screen. In this case, they soon discovered something unusual on the planet's surface.

"Look closely, the surface of that planet - is there no land?" It was Dart who was the first to notice this time, but judging by the hesitant tone in which he spoke, he was obviously not very sure.

Just when everyone was still confirming Dart's statement in the picture, Atlas's voice had already sounded, "Huh? Not to mention, there really is no land on the planet. ”

As soon as the little girl's words fell, Zhou Xin had already carefully observed every inch of the surface of the planet, which was twice the size of the full moon. As Dart put it, there was not even a small piece of land to be found on it, except for a large expanse of ocean and wisps of white clouds.

"A planet with a surface full of water, you really can't notice it if you don't warn it." Zhou Xin muttered to himself thoughtfully, "No wonder we mistook it for an ice superstar in the first place. Then he smiled and shook his head, "There are really no wonders in the universe, and it's amazing that so much water can be stored on one planet." ”

"That's not the point." "The point is, how do we land on the surface of the planet if it's all covered with oceans?" And how to collect resources? ”

"This-" Zhou Xin sighed with emotion, not thinking about this problem at all, and a hesitant look appeared on his face. At this moment, Atlas hurriedly reminded: "Brother Spred, have you forgotten?" We've only seen half of the planet now, and we haven't seen the other hemispheres where it's blocked......"
