After two months of spaceflight, Hope finally flew to the asteroid belt where terrestrial planets are forming.

The asteroid belt here is different from the asteroid belt of the gaseous planet that is forming before, and the asteroid belt on the periphery of the gaseous planet is only a few tens of cubic meters, and there are basically no asteroids exceeding a few hundred cubic meters, and its distribution density is not large, and it can even be described as thin.

But this place is a completely different situation, from the outermost small asteroids, a few cubic meters, tens of cubic meters, hundreds of cubic meters, and even tens of thousands of cubic meters of asteroids, and more inside, there are several asteroids as large as the number of satellites in a star system, of course, not regular elliptical stars, but irregular fragments, colliding with each other.

Scientists have selected one of the largest asteroids, according to calculations, this asteroid has one-twelfth of the Earth's gravity, which is enough for Hope to cling to it, and will not drift randomly because of the absence of gravity, the same asteroid size is extremely gravity calculations, it is not the kind of meteorite star, its main structure is still a rock layer, which also has the possibility of excavation, otherwise a whole metal or diamond quasar, you go to dig it?

For these reasons, Hope's landing star chose this asteroid.

However, there are still many things that need to be done before landing, because the desert planet has suffered losses, so in the early stage of this landing, the scientists and technical workers in Hope have already built more than a dozen probes, and when Hope flew over this asteroid, they have already thrown these more than ten probes.

This was followed by a series of detection methods, measuring gravity, measuring its magnetic field, measuring various data, etc., but this time it did not surprise the scientists' calculations, and their calculations were completely in line with their calculations, so that on the third day of the asteroid body, Hope began to land.

There were no accidents during the whole landing, when the huge hull of the Hope landed safely and smoothly on the asteroid, everyone inside the Hope secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and more people cheered loudly, anyway, the asteroid landing was finally completed smoothly.

In the next few days, the initial explorers were selected, still mainly military, mixed with some researchers, with the landing craft urgently manufactured, and the team left Hope to carry out preliminary exploration on the asteroid, mainly to obtain rock samples on the asteroid, and to explore the gravitational structure on the surface of the asteroid.

This time the exploration was still perfect, nothing went wrong, and all the plans were successfully achieved.

This was followed by several days of analysis and calculation......

In fact, there are indeed unimaginable wonders in the universe, and the same is true of the vastness of the entire universe, but when it comes to a certain thing, it seems so cumbersome and boring, and the analysis, calculation, simulation, and implementation of each plan are by no means decided by patting the head, especially when it comes to the life and death of more than 120,000 people and the continuation of the entire human civilization, it is even more cautious about this aspect of things.

In this way, six days have passed since Hope landed on the asteroid, and it was only then that scientists really confirmed that the asteroid was not in any danger, of course, the spacesuit must be worn, the asteroid has no atmosphere, and when the light of the star shines on this side, as long as the personnel who leave the Hope Mission, even if they are wearing spacesuits, they cannot look directly at the star, and so on, many precautions have been put forward by scientists and experts.

Then, on the seventh day after landing, the first ground excavation team that had been waiting for a long time set off, and they chose a piece of flat land one three kilometers away from the Hope, where they will build underground excavation fortifications, which is not to dig oil wells or anything, but to dig into the asteroid completely, and at the same time dig a huge hole inside it to accommodate the life of more than 120,000 people, this workload can be said to be very huge.

In fact, except for those in the know, all the participants in the operation did not think that such a magnificent underground structure could be built in three months, regardless of the degree of detail, its enormity alone was enough to make people despair, and this was still working on an alien body, no more than on the earth, and even on the earth, if you want to dig an underground cavity that can accommodate more than 120,000 people on the flat ground, it is impossible to complete it in three months.

However, the insiders did not reveal the next plan, but asked the team to dig the hole of the right size as much as possible, and then dig as deep as possible inside the hole.

On the other hand, when the operation reached the first stage, that is, a diagonal hole about ten meters wide had been excavated, inside the Hope, somewhere in the biological laboratory, Yao Yuan was watching Ivan lead his team members operating on a bunch of alien plant bodies.

Yes, Ivan the Whisperer, whose genetically modified skin graft was a success, has returned from severe burns, in addition to the many scars on his body and face, and of course, because of his contributions to ruminants, plus his status as a whisperer, he has been elevated to the status of a well-known scientist in biology in terms of qualifications.

In this asteroid excavation operation, the key to completing the task within three months is the experiment of the biological group where Ivan is currently located.

Yes, the scientists' proposal is to use alien plants to dig deep holes, and at the same time, these minerals devoured by alien plants can also generate a large number of conductor alloys, which is simply an act of killing two birds with one stone.

“…… Well, you guys are really open-minded. ”

Yao Yuan thought back to the day when he listened to the excavation described by these scientists, and the whole person was simply stunned, in fact, he was even more surprised by the unbridled imagination of these scientists.

To know the phagocytosis mechanism of alien plants, the energy spars in their bodies, various metal purifiers, and the composition of various alloys, these things are completely inexplicable by human science and technology, but scientists are not idle, as the only alien life form currently mastered by human beings, human research on this alien plant has become more and more profound, especially for the use of alien plants, scientists dare to think about anything.

Yao Yuan asked solemnly: "Indeed, using alien plants to dig underground cavities can indeed achieve the goal in a very short time, but everyone, you must know that we have no control over the devouring of alien plants, once we let it go, it means that we have to let it grow, have you ever thought about it?" This asteroid doesn't have an atmosphere! ”

Yao Yuan pointed to the dark space outside the window and said: "Alien plants really won't harm us humans, but they can devour anything they come into contact with, including our human spacesuits, maybe in an environment like a desert planet, we can kill a mature alien plant, but here is an asteroid without an atmosphere, who will inject it with plant viruses?" How to kill it? ”

When the scientists were asked, they answered with confidence, and their whimsical nature even made Yao Yuan think that they were not scientists, but a group of fantasists or novelists.

"It's true, as the Major said, alien plants can devour anything, metals, plastics, glass, even ceramics, everything, can be swallowed by them and turned into sand, and what's even more terrifying, they can devour energy, well, as the Major said, in this vacuum, we can't let people inject it with viruses, but have you ever thought about it? How about we bury a virus in it? ”

"Buried with a virus?" Yao Yuan muttered a repeat, but before he could ask questions, the scientists continued to answer.

"Yes, prepare the virus agent first, of course, alien plants are very sensitive to this virus, once they come into contact, they will die almost immediately, so it is impossible to let it dig up, and any material that encapsulates the virus will be swallowed by it, so it is impossible to bury the virus in the body, but here, we have an idea......"

"There is a substance that alien plants will never devour, we have tried, even those pure metals, or alloy blocks in the body of plants, etc., it will be devoured again, and then synthesized again in the body, there is only one substance, it will be directly wrapped into the body...... That's the Power Crystal! ”

"Yes, the energy spar is the only thing that the alien plant will not devour, it will directly wrap it and fill it into the sac in the body, and the energy spar is very stable, and its hardness is not high, major, we have designed such a plan, inlay a small energy spar into a micro-robot, this micro-robot can accept the external electronic signal, and even if the external electronic signal is blocked for various reasons, this micro-robot can also set the reaction time, such as three days, five days and so on, Once the time is up, or the signal arrives, the fan will burst out of the power crystal, and the plant virus will be injected into the sac, and the entire alien plant will wither! ”

"That's how we use and prevent alien plants! It will be used as a tool for us humans to grasp, integrating mining, gathering, energy supply, new technology metal source and many other functions! ”

"Major, the level of science and technology of our human beings is indeed very low compared to the universe, but! It's not because we're not smart humans, it's just because we don't have enough accumulation! ”

"The wisdom of our human beings...... Definitely not lose to any cosmic race! ”
