A month later, Deep Space remained quietly in the synchronous orbit of Mio 4, keeping pace with the planet's rotation.

The engineers were busy as the slender space elevators began to be laid.

Of course, people would not be stupid enough to park Deep Space directly on the planet's surface, which would only cause the old ship to collapse due to its own gravity.

The value of a "Deep Space" is hundreds of times the annual GDP of a low-level civilization. It is impossible to directly make a large spaceship that has been built with great difficulty, and it would be too wasteful.

At this moment, Yu Yifeng, along with many engineers and scientists, are discussing the next step in the seminar room.

"Although Deep Space is relatively old and will be retired soon, it can still serve as a large space platform...... Maintenance still has to be done well. ”

"It can stay all kinds of small ships and act as an aircraft carrier flying in the sky. We estimate that this space platform is indispensable for a long time to develop here. ”

What needs to be done now is to build more industrial bases on the surface, and then gradually separate the "Deep Space" and "Noah" to lay the foundation for building a new generation of motherships in the future.

“…… This was already taken into account when it was designed before. So there is not much of a problem with the stripping work...... But before the new mothership is halfway through, we can't start this work, and we'll have to be ready to run away at any time. Safety is still the most important thing! A scientist said.

Yu Yifeng also nodded thoughtfully.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Ding Yidong took the stage to talk about the new spacecraft designed by their research group in recent years.

“…… We've designed a medium-sized transport ship that collects gaseous fuel, and the model is already in the process of being built. It can enter the shallow atmosphere of gaseous planets, collect nuclear fuel, and has a high carrying capacity.

"I call it ...... Flying Barrels! Let's take a look at the specific parameters and the simulator ......"

After nearly 300 years of sailing, people are certainly not idle, but have done all kinds of preliminary preparations, and all kinds of robots and spaceships have been maintained.

In the face of massive resources, all kinds of robots under people's hands can't wait!

When I heard the name "Flying Barrel", the venue was lively for a while, everyone was talking and laughing, so happy, Professor Ding analyzed various parameter data in the noise.

"Professor Ding, is this your special taste?"

Obviously, everyone's mood is very good and morale is high.

Yu Yifeng raised his eyebrows, but did not speak, he carefully looked at the 3D simulation image on the computer, and swiped his finger a few times to observe the specific details.

The ship does look a bit like a cylindrical keg, with four air gathering sails that can be deployed. But such a rugged design makes sense, maximizing the internal volume and carrying more fuel.

Moreover, such a strange naming brought him a kind of ...... A rugged feeling of the Age of Discovery.

"Ambitious, ambitious, yes, we will start a new journey here!"

Perhaps, this is what Professor Ding intended...... As the main person in charge, he still has his own naming rights.

This period of excitement passed quickly, and after introducing this kind of spaceship, Yu Yifeng stood up again and asked.

"So, what about our new generation of motherships, what do you think should be called?"

The amount of work of the new generation of motherships is many times that of other things combined, and people can't help but pay less attention to it. Although the new mothership has not yet been glimpsed, it can increase people's fighting spirit by discussing it in advance, so why not do it?

In the face of this problem, people are talking about it.

This time, there is no special consensus like the "Deep Space", the mess of "Diamond King", "Giant Turtle", and what "Earth Empire"......

There are almost any kind of names.

Yu Yifeng simply picked the names with the highest appeals, and then launched a referendum to let the broad masses of the people participate and choose for themselves.

"Well, about the name of the new generation of motherships, we will know when the voting results come out! Break up when there's nothing to do! ”

This brief ordinary meeting ended quickly, and Yu Yifeng couldn't wait to rush to the observatory, because he had just received an important news: there were new results for the detection of Yufu 2.

There is nothing to say about industrial things, it has been so many times, human beings are already familiar with the way, all kinds of safety procedures, industrial procedures have been very perfect, and there are relevant experts in charge.

"Everybody's enthusiastic, it's good, it's good."

"Mio 4" is a planet carefully selected by people, and the indicators are very suitable for industry, and many excellent veins have been discovered. Moreover, there is only a thin atmosphere on the surface of the planet, with a perennial temperature of more than minus 200 degrees, and no traces of life have been found.

If you check it a few more times, you can basically start working.

"Professor Thomson, how's it going? Are there any results? Yu Yifeng came to bring the observatory, knocked on the door a few times, and got straight to the point.

In recent days, the observatory has been the most lively place, and the object of people's observation is, of course, the "Mio 2", which is full of life!

These natives may never have imagined that beyond the starry sky, an interstellar civilization is observing them silently and with curiosity.

If the sower civilization thinks that this place can bring more harvest to people, then there is a high probability that it is still "Yufu 2".

Astronomer Professor Thomson did not speak, but quietly flipped out a report and handed it to Yu Yifeng.

He looked down: "The composition of the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen (%76.014), oxygen (%22.126), argon (%0.634), water vapor (%0.45), carbon dioxide (%0.082)......"

"Gravity Environment: 1.09 times the Earth's gravity ......"

Seeing this series of data, Yu Yifeng was overjoyed and immediately shocked.

An oxygen-rich planet, with 22% oxygen content, means that if the microbial environment can be solved, humans can even breathe the air normally!

But after the surprise, he immediately discovered the problem: the gravitational environment and air humidity, etc., are too similar to the earth......

Like a ...... It's creepy, like a planet made up!

Almost 99% similar!

Such a planet, coupled with a similar living environment...... One can't help but secretly wonder about the ultimate intention of the Sower civilization.

"What does it want humans to gain here?" Yu Yifeng thought silently.

"Did you know that we observed working satellites...... It shows that there should be an indigenous civilization here, and the development of science and technology is not bad. Professor Thomson spoke, smiling wryly.

"Is that so?"

In the face of low-level natives, it is not the first time anyway, Yu Yifeng has no fuss: "Our artificial satellite has been quietly disguised as a meteorite, it should be almost there, what have you found?" ”

Dr. Roman, a biologist standing on the side, continued: "After some of our machines crashed into the ocean, some marine life was observed, a bit like fish...... Alas, it is carbonyl life, there is nothing beyond the conventional structure of genetic material. ”

"It's strange why all the life we encounter is like this, why is life all carbonyl in general? Don't...... Is it also the result of a high-level civilization? Dr. Roman was puzzled.

These biologists really want to see the different kinds of silicon-based or sulfur-based life...... What the hell does it look like.

Of course, there is also an explanation for this consistency of appearance, which is "convergent evolution". After all, the flat fish structure can swim fast enough to better adapt to the marine environment. In people's imagination, all kinds of chaotic alien creatures are estimated to not even be able to swim, let alone survive in the ocean.

Yu Yifeng thought for a while and said, "There is no silicon-based life...... It seems that silicon-based organisms are still a minority in the universe. We still have too little knowledge...... Perhaps only one of the million living planets is silicon-based, and it is normal that we have not encountered them. ”

"And it doesn't seem like there are many forks in the tech tree at the moment...... Perhaps after reaching the top, there will be a large number of forks that form their own unique science. ”

Professor Thomson said with a smile: "If you want to find another set of grassroots theories and open up another science and technology tree, it is undoubtedly difficult to climb to the sky...... Isn't it whimsical to think about what does not develop modern science and specialize in biotechnology......"

Yu Yifeng nodded and asked, "By the way, are there any other discoveries?" What about the natives? ”

"Yes." Professor Thomson was stunned, and said with a little eccentricity, "You just flip to the back." Don't suspect that we faked it, it was the real thing! ”

Hearing him say this, Yu Yifeng turned to the next page with great interest...... At that moment, he froze, his eyes suddenly rounded.

This is...... What the?

There is such a thing in the world...... It's incredible...... Similar planets, similar environments...... Similar ...... Creature?!

What did he see......

Mankind!

No, a creature that looks exactly like a human and lives on this planet?
