Chapter 16: Exploration
Every grass and tree is a treasure, every insect and everything is a chance, so it is not an exaggeration to describe the value of this living planet to the blue star.
After venting his emotions, Lu Yu calmed down slightly, and slowly walked back to the Silver Star while carefully observing his feet.
This natural meadow on a hillside is an excellent biological observation point, and it is enough to start collecting biological samples from here.
Lu Yu looked at the countdown displayed on the transparent mask of the spacesuit in front of him.
【01:55:26】
This is the time that the spacesuit can still operate, and after the countdown is over, it will cool down for eight hours, and then Lu Yu can only return to the cockpit and honestly wait for it to restart.
There's no way, the black technology exchanged for 5 points always has to be set a little restrictively.
Lu Yu chose a low alien plant close to the Silver Star, which had the characteristics of a fern, but was more like an elephant grass.
Lu Yu uprooted it, and the soft black soil failed to protect its roots from Lu Yu's black hands.
The mobile phone camera on his chest carefully showed the plant, and then peeled off its epidermis bit by bit to record its internal structure. After Lu Yu returned to the cockpit, the video was transmitted to the scientists in his motherland.
In the case of limited conditions, this crude and simple observation technique can only be used.
And thanks to this spacesuit, there would be no way to record the simple internal structure of the plant in the cockpit.
As for whether alien plants have chloroplasts, seeds, mosses or ferns, and other characteristics, it depends on the level of biologists in the motherland.
Lu Yu casually threw aside a recorded alien plant and straightened the position of the mobile phone in his jacket pocket again.
This mobile phone that left Blue Star with him, but now Lu Yu is the only way to get in touch with Blue Star.
It is said that in order to receive the signal of this mobile phone, the state even built a base station for this mobile phone number. So much so that Lu Yu really didn't receive a single text message during the five months of drifting.
"This mobile phone is an industrial product manufactured according to the standard gravity conditions of Bluestar, and I just hope that there will be no problems under other gravity conditions."
"I've been using this phone for almost two years, and who knows how long I'm going to be drifting in the universe? Maybe this time, after reaping the points, it's time to consider changing to a more reliable contact device. ”
While thinking about how to plan the use of points, after being busy for nearly an hour and a half, Lu Yu was finally ready to end this landing and return to the cockpit.
That is, a few steps away, as soon as Lu Yu turned around, he saw the Silver Star close at hand.
When he was on Mars, Zhurong took a photo of the Silver Star, and Lu Yu realized through the sharing of the blue star what a gorgeous appearance the space jumping machine he was riding on.
But the photo is still not as shocking as what I saw with my own eyes, in the eyes of Lu Yu, who was about to return to the cockpit, the Silver Star was just staying quietly on the grass, like a drop of mercury on the green silk.
Its smooth surface does not refract the intense sunlight, but rather seems to lock in the light, allowing the light to flow on the surface in a bright light.
This may be the most beautiful handicraft Lu Yu has ever seen in his life, and the thought that he has ridden it away from the Blue Star for countless light years and wandered in the universe is a little embarrassing.
Putting aside this slightly pretentious emotion, Lu Yu wore a space suit and smoothly passed through the space membrane.
The moment he entered the small cockpit, the space suit that wrapped Lu Yu's whole body detached from his body, folded up on its own, and began to sanitize itself while entering the cooling time.
It can only be said that even if it is a black technology that is only exchanged for 5 points, it is really a black technology, which directly eliminates the air pressure chamber and disinfection procedures.
Returning to the narrow cockpit, Lu Yu was still a little unaccustomed to it, but fortunately, after the signal was restored, Lu Yu was still busy transmitting observation videos, answering many questions from biological experts, and starting to act in order to earn points.
In the midst of such busyness, it has been a week since Lu Yu unknowingly came to this planet of life.
After this period of observation, the basic situation about this planet has been almost observed.
It is estimated to be about 1.3 times larger than the Blue Star by building a 3D model, and it takes 28 hours to complete its autobiography. At the same time, the gravity of the planet is about 1.1 times that of the earth, and for people with weak bodies, suddenly changing from the environment of the blue star to such an environment will make them feel heavy, dizzy, and physically exerted.
At this time, Lu Yu's usual exercise effect was reflected, at least not to be weak in this planetary environment.
The planet has two moons, and on a clear night you can see the double moon in the sky, which is a view that the blue star will never see.
In addition, the planet has an extremely high coverage of greenery, with plants with obvious traces of cell walls and nuclei, and fern-like plants dominate the observed biosphere.
And after many days of observation, Lu Yu failed to find the tracking cloud from the sky, nor did he find any civilization creations, which is very likely to be a planet that has not yet given birth to civilization.
Judging from the current detection results, this is a superb colonization planet that human beings dream of, and there is no need for any environmental modification at all, and the large-scale existence of green plants means that the oxygen content in the atmosphere is not too low, and there is no moral choice caused by the birth of a civilized race.
But in addition to not knowing how far away from the blue star, it also has a drawback!
…………
A week had passed, and Lu Yu was no longer satisfied with the plants on the grass and the tiny creatures that resembled ants and insects.
A dozen meters away from the Silver Star, there was a simple trap made of stone slabs and branches, and some kind of plant and block were placed in the trap as bait.
A translucent, probably fox-sized animal, crawling sneakily out of the bushes at the edge of the meadow, resembling a slime from a very human fantasy work.
This is a unique creature on this planet, and it is also the target of Lu Yu's hunt!
Dissecting a creature that doesn't exist on the blue star must become a classic of biology, right?
However, when it was already close to the trap, the mountain shook for a while!
The earthquake caused this improvised trap to trigger on its own.
"Smack!"
The slate is pressed down, and the roots of the plant are crushed to pieces.
The unique creature that was about to fall into Lu Yu's trap was immediately frightened and squirted liquid from its body, and with the help of the reaction force, it quickly fled.
Lu Yu was helpless when he saw the prey that was about to fly like this, this was the 21st earthquake since he came to this planet.
From the cockpit, you can clearly see the depths of the distant mountains, a black smoke billowing into the sky.
The earthquake just now may be related to this volcanic eruption.
That's right, the downside of this planet is that its crust is too active!
