Chapter 200: A Chance Encounter

People often describe the cosmic starry sky as an interstellar sea, and like children living in the interior who are eager to see and even wade into the ocean, most intelligent beings born on planets will look up to the sky and long to swim in the interstellar sea in their lifetime.

But for those who often sail the interstellar sea, this sea of stars seems to be forever quiet and dark, and there are too many crises that are more terrifying than the planetary ocean, and of course, the main thing is the long loneliness.

Wang Qiyu was sitting in the wheelhouse on duty, and the destination of their exploration ship was a newly discovered living planet in the Republic, and their mission was to explore the general situation of this living planet and evaluate its specific value, such as whether it was suitable for immigration.

Although the Republic of China is quite proficient in the technology of biosphere construction, theoretically the Republic of China does not lack a planet suitable for human survival.

But in fact, except for a few planets, the Republic of China has always been in a state of shortage of living space, and many planets have even reached the line of planetary carrying capacity.

On the one hand, the reason for all this is that it costs a lot of money and takes a long time to create a living planet out of thin air, and the bigger reason is that there have been several man-made biosphere collapse accidents in the history of the Chinese Republic, so despite the government's repeated propaganda, many people would rather squeeze into a super-high residential building of fifty or sixty square meters and thousands of meters high than go to the local owner of the artificial life planet.

It can be seen that whenever a new life planet is discovered, the Republic of China is a joy, if this life planet is suitable for human habitation, it would be even better, so that the population pressure of the Republic of China can also be appropriately relaxed.

Here you will ask, since it is a living planet, is it suitable for human habitation?

Because in fact, two of the ten living planets in the universe are suitable for human habitation, which is already very good, and many living planets are indeed vibrant. For example, the gravity of some living planets is more than ten or dozens of times that of the earth, some living planets have oxygen as a rare gas, and some living planets simply don't have water!

Before entering the universe, the understanding of the living planet or the evaluation of the conditions for the birth of life by human beings on the earth was the elemental proportion of the planet. Gas ratio, light intensity, and most importantly, moisture.

Many scientists believe that as long as there is water on the planet, then the planet has the basis for the birth of life.

But please! You human beings can't do without water, or the creatures you know as humans can't do without water, doesn't this mean that all creatures in the universe can't do without water, do you have to judge the birth of other creatures in the universe according to your human living conditions or limited knowledge?

This obviously subjective view of human beings at the beginning was later proved to be extremely absurd, the earth is just an ordinary planet in the endless universe that happened to give birth to life, in the boundless universe life is full of infinite possibilities, maybe the condition for your birth is water. What if I was born with liquid nitrogen?

For example, if you earthlings see an alien holding a jar of liquid nitrogen and pouring it into their mouths, they are surprised and say, "Mom, are you tired of pouring this liquid nitrogen into your mouth?"

And when aliens see earthlings pouring water into their mouths, I'm afraid their hearts are also turbulent, damn it, this is water, earthlings are really awesome!

Okay, let's go far, I just want to show that the discovery of a living planet is not necessarily a good outcome. Therefore, the Republic of China is happy to discover the life planet this time, but it is not a big surprise, plus the location of this life planet is a bit far away. Therefore, Wang Qiyu was sent to take his own exploration team to explore first, so as not to waste manpower and material resources.

"Hurry up, come to the meeting!" Wang Qiyu shouted in the team channel.

Because the Huaxia Republic did not master the space jumping technology, they flew at near the speed of light for three months and then arrived at a space wormhole, then stayed in the wormhole for another month, and then flew at sub-light speed for another year before slowing down and preparing to get closer to the destination of their trip.

Although Wang Qiyu's previous journey was simply weak compared to the time taken by those pioneers in the space navigation period, there will always be boredom and loneliness as a person, so Wang Qiyu and most of them were on duty with one or two people along the way. Others are either asleep in the dormant bin or playing virtual games in the virtual bin.

"Brother, have you arrived?" A girl in black short-sleeved and full of youthful vitality walked in and asked.

"Well, we'll be at our destination in three hours." Wang Qiyu smiled softly and said.

"It's so fast! What do you say will happen to this living planet? Will it be habitable for humans? If so, that's fine, we're sure to get a big bonus! Wang Yuqi sat on the chair next to the console and said excitedly that this was the first time she had gone on such a long mission. If it weren't for the fact that the captain was her brother and the danger of exploring the planet of life was very small, she would never have come out with her!

"Okay, you've asked dozens of times since we set off, won't we know everything when we get there?" Wang Qiyu glanced at Wang Yuqi helplessly and said, saying that dozens of men and women of all colors greeted Wang Qiyu and Wang Yuqi and walked in one after another.

"I won't say anything superfluous, everyone will enter their respective positions immediately, and we will start working!" Seeing that everyone was sitting firmly, Wang Qiyu's calm opponent ordered.

With Wang Qiyu's order, each member walked to their respective posts, and even Wang Yuqi stood by Wang Qiyu's side decently.

"Auto mode is canceled and manual driving is started!"

"Entering the star system of the target planet, a detection satellite has been launched to collect the cardinal data of the star system where the target is located."

"When the spacecraft arrived at the predetermined position, the spacecraft has remained relatively stationary and has begun to launch the Tianyan-4 exploration satellite into the synchronous orbit of the target planet."

"All the Sky Eye detection satellites are already in place, and it is estimated that it will take about 120 hours to start an all-round exploration of the target planet!"

"It's as simple as that?" Wang Yuqi watched dozens of team members work for a while, and then became leisurely again, chatting in a daze.

"Of course, do you think it's hard? We're just an ordinary level exploration and reconnaissance mission, do you think it's a military reconnaissance? Wang Qiyu said with a smile, it is obvious that the truth is not as thrilling and wonderful as Wang Yuqi imagined.

However, things didn't seem to want Wang Yuqi to be disappointed like this, just when Wang Yuqi looked depressed, the team member in charge of the Tianyan Satellite suddenly shouted: "The captain has a situation!" ”

At the same time, an image appeared on the main screen of the control room, and a blonde giant in a gorgeous robe was seen walking through a primeval forest with a purple-gold unknown creature wrapped around his neck. (To be continued.) )
