"Noah is expected to reach the third near-Earth orbit of Knicks in one minute, and the countdown begins: sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight......"

On January 17, 0009 in the New Human Calendar, human beings have been flying in endless space for nearly five years, and the time of external relativity is about 22 years.

It's 9:28 a.m., and the Noah spacecraft has officially arrived in the outer space orbit of the planet!

Distance from the Solar System...... 21.4 light years!

This is a space expedition that mankind has never thought of!

Many people happily threw themselves on the observatory, enthusiastically observing the gray planet that was about to land.

According to the endless news reports in the past month, the general public has basically understood a general idea: Nix is a terrestrial planet with a dense atmosphere, and there is even a lot of oxygen in the atmosphere!

By this, one can almost certainly ...... There is life on the planet!

If there is life, there is life, anyway, human beings have already prepared such psychological expectations.

Much of the preliminary work is aimed at fighting alien microbes, including various anti-virus potions, high-temperature disinfection boxes, strict isolation measures, and ...... Broad-spectrum immune agents!

On the other hand, the existence of life does not mean that there is "intelligent life"!

The "universal laws of life" may apply in this universe, and the emergence of primitive life may be relatively easy, but "intelligent life" or "civilization" may not!

With such a harsh planetary environment, it can't give birth to large-scale intelligent life, right?!

This is not just a common idea among ordinary people, but among scientists.

It's hard, it's so hard!

The average surface temperature of the planet is minus 120 degrees, which is not an environment where large life can reproduce normally.

The most important thing is that there is no stellar light on the surface of Nix, there is no stable source of energy, is it possible that the heat of large life depends only on volcanoes?

What if a volcano erupts? It kills all living things in the magma area!

In this case, it is difficult for large organisms to have the conditions for growth, and intelligent life is even more difficult.

However, microorganisms don't matter, they have a strong vitality, and even if a volcano erupts, it is impossible to kill all microorganisms...... After the outbreak is over, they are able to reproduce very quickly.

Scientists speculate that the planet may be home to a species of cyanobacteria that thrive on geothermal energy.

They absorb geothermal energy, synthesize carbon dioxide into organic matter, and metabolize oxygen. It took so much oxygen for the planet to be produced......

"30 global satellites have been successfully launched, and the global positioning system has been officially launched!"

"The unmanned detection system has officially begun!"

Because this planet is likely to be the foothold of people in a few years or decades, the various astronomical and geographical teams have spent a great deal of effort. They struggled to find a suitable landing area with abundant material resources.

In total, the automated inspection took more than two weeks. The whole observation operation has made good progress, giving people a preliminary understanding of the geology of the planet.

The only thing that makes people feel speechless is this: the eruption is too special!

The planet's geology is so intense that volcanoes erupt almost every day!

Thick volcanic ash drifts over the atmosphere almost all the time, causing some problems for satellite detection systems.

"The current geological survey situation is roughly out: 80% of the ocean, the surface is covered with thick ice, I don't know how deep it is. About 20% of the land area has been undetectable by satellites due to a large amount of volcanic fog. ”

"However, unmanned detectors and drones have inspected some areas of the surface and found no traces of the activity of large organisms, only some microorganisms...... As expected! ”

“…… We have discovered an area of extinct volcanoes. According to the analysis and calculation, this volcano has completely fallen silent, and it has not erupted for nearly 10 million years, which is safe enough! Moreover, because of the volcanic eruption, the area has enough mineral resources, so it is a good base location! ”

"The tasks of your group are: to find out the specific geological composition of the area, to capture different microbial specimens, and...... Build your first mini-base! ”

Yu Yifeng looked at the row of people standing in front of him, they were Zhao Yao, Shen Jie and other soldiers, they were wearing X-003 power armor, and there were more than sixty soldiers behind them.

Then there were more than 30 engineers, 30 biologists, and a few journalists. And also...... A big black dog in power armor!

People have been preparing for this work for so long that it is impossible to abandon the landing because of some microorganisms or active volcanoes. None of this is a matter of the vast amount of resources that will be acquired!

Yu Yifeng looked at them carefully and said solemnly, "We will send three Type A spaceships this time. There will be a manned spacecraft, a cargo plane, and a base-type spacecraft. ”

"This landing is very important, if the location is really suitable, it means that a large number of excavation machines will continue to follow up!"

"Zhao Yao, you have the right to press the nuclear button! If you encounter any uncontrollable danger, you can abandon a large number of equipment and escape, but ...... People must bring me back! ”

"Understood!"

"Shen Jie, you take someone to be responsible for specific biochemical control! Whether it's indoors or outdoors, it's important for everyone to wear power armor! Everyone has their own cubicle, and eating and drinking are done in their own cubicle. And also...... I'll leave the breeding work of Daikoku to you, too! ”

The big black dog seemed to understand, and barked twice. As a super-entity other than Yu Yifeng, it now takes on the responsibility of resisting microorganisms.

"Understood!"

"Dr. Nakatamura, the work of microbial control is entrusted to you...... Broad-spectrum immunoassays can also be used if necessary! ”

Yu Yifeng commanded one by one, and he felt like a long-tongued woman with many mouths.

However, this kind of work can't help but be unconcerned! He wished to go over in person, but it was clear that sitting in this position, it was impossible!

Finally, after all the work tasks were finished, he nodded and said, "Then you go and prepare, and set off in half an hour!" ”

At the same time, he said one more sentence: "If you really encounter any danger, I will allow you to return to the Noah!" Even if you lose something......"

In this way, it was not until more than ten minutes later that a group of people walked on the electromagnetic train and entered the circular track.

A soldier patted his chest and said with a sigh: "Mr. Yu is usually very serious, but now he ......."

"Pretty long-winded, isn't it?"

Captain Zhao Yao held the handrail on the train, and he checked the situation of the power armor: "If you can...... He can't wait to get on it himself! But if he is verbose now, he may have saved your life! Does everyone understand their mission? ”

"Understood!"

While the crowd was talking, the train stopped, and nearly one hundred and thirty people boarded an A001 spaceship.

Everyone stopped talking, but sat in their seats, fastened their seatbelts, and waited for the ship to take off.

It's impossible to say not to be nervous at this time!

Zhao Yao's black face was slightly red, obviously in extreme excitement, and even with some fear. But for people like him, opening up a planet means supreme glory and the memory of history, and this instinctive fear is nothing, no matter what, please do it well.

"The ship's doors are about to close, please be ready for takeoff. Please fasten your seatbelts! A soft electronic tone sounded the prompt.

The Particle Engine Inspector starts...... Spacecraft Adaptive Orbit Calculation...... Ready! ”

"Annular track docking work started...... 100% track smoothness. The spacecraft is expected to start in thirty seconds, and the countdown will begin twenty-nine, twenty-eight......"

At this time, on the entire Noah, sixty thousand people were staring intently.

The observatory was already packed, and there were even soldiers maintaining order in order to cause unnecessary disturbances.

The first colonists from the solar system are about to land on the planet Nix!
