Because the geological movement is active,

The entire Io is filled with all kinds of rare mineral elements,

These mineral elements have accumulated on the surface of the planet due to volcanic activity, and they exist almost in the open air, and have very good mining conditions.

The large number of mineral deposits has played a key role in the development of the pioneer astronaut program in the future.

Especially when it takes a lot of resources to build a spaceship,

Io is a good mine,

Therefore, in the orbit of Io, there is an important space industry base for mankind.

And as a pioneer astronaut, in order to familiarize himself with the structure of the spacecraft, so that he can maintain it himself later.

Yang Meng was trained in the Europa space dock for a period of time.

So Yang Meng is very familiar with moons like Europa.

And his next exploration of the planetary moon system of Rutan,

It's also to discover celestial bodies like Europa,

But he knew very well in his heart that a unique moon like Europa,

In the entire satellite system of the solar system, there is also one and only such one,

Most of the other celestial bodies that are far from the Sun are covered in a thick layer of ice.

And in such a small Rutan system, the chances of a Europa-like existence are almost zero

"But what if there is?" Yang Meng had some expectations in his heart,

The universe is vast and vast, and there are so many galaxies and celestial bodies that humans cannot give accurate data.

In such a large number of celestial bodies, it is normal for all kinds of other planets to appear.

If there is a strange satellite like Europa in the satellite system, then he can smoothly start the "home" way.

"I don't know if there's any hope?"

Thinking of this, Yang Meng shook his head, and he didn't dwell on this issue,

In addition to the exploration of the satellite systems of the third and fourth planets,

There are also three probes heading for the fifth to seventh planets.

And for these three planets far away from Lutan, Yang Meng's expectations are not high,

In the previous approach to Rutan,

Xiao Yi operated the radio astronomical telescope on the spacecraft to observe the Rutan Galaxy.

At that time, a total of seven planets with independent orbits were found in Rutan.

The third and fourth planets are the most massive,

The next three planets are very massive, with masses between Pluto and Mercury.

Therefore, the planetary structure in the Rutan system is that the middle is large and the ends are small.

Although such a structure may seem strange, it is a very common situation in the entire universe.

Because the closer you get to the star, the more massive the object is, the easier it is to fall into the star.

And the farther away from the star, the weaker the gravitational pull of the star, and the easier it is for the planet to be thrown out as the star revolves around the center of the Milky Way.

That's why most of the planetary systems of stars have such a structure.

Of course, it is not without exceptions.

Because the motion of celestial bodies often begins with a time count of millions of years,

Under certain conditions, some planets with anomalous masses can also be seen revolving around stars, forming a unique kind of star system.

However, that kind of galaxy is not what Yang Meng should consider at this time.

At this time, he still needs to think about what kind of plan to make to go home after the detection results come out.

……

Time passes slowly,

In the waiting plant, another five days passed,

During this time,

In addition to sorting out the information from the earth, Yang Meng has not given up the research and observation of Rutan B.

Although the resources on the planet Rutan B have been depleted,

But as a planet where civilizations have existed, it is still a huge treasure trove for human beings.

Although he is not a professional archaeologist, before setting out, humans also made some plans for the possibility of encountering the remains of civilization.

Therefore, he has been making various observations on the planet Rutan B for the past few days.

Especially the red haze who forced him to leave Rutanxing was full of curiosity,

Even if you can't catch the dangerous red haze on the spacecraft, you can still observe the red haze with some simple miniature equipment.

During this period, Xiao Guang, who boarded the spaceship with him, has also been communicating with him about the situation on Lutan Star, and has also been silently watching Yang Meng's research on their planet.

It's just that what Yang Meng didn't notice was that every time Yang Meng was on Planet Rutan B, the fluctuation frequency of the small light would always become a little faster.

In this way, three more days passed in waiting, observing, and researching.

Xiao Guang was also not abnormal during this time, except for watching Yang Meng's research experiments, the rest of the time he had been floating in front of the porthole, looking at the dark red planet.

……

Until this day, the little light floated in front of the porthole as usual,

With the sound of an airlock, Yang Meng floated over from the corridor, and he was exchanging observation data with Xiao Yi, but he didn't notice that Xiaoguang was blocking in front of him.

"The cloud interference of Planet Rutan B is very serious, blocking the ...... Notice that the light is in front of you! ”

Xiao Yi's reminder brought Yang Meng back to his senses, he looked at the light spot in front of him, and before he could say anything, Xiao Guang spoke:

"I've seen the data you gave me earlier, and I want to go and see it on other planets!"

Hearing such a request, Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but saw Xiaoguang continue:

"If it's right there, I'm going to stay!"

"You're going to stay!" A look of surprise appeared on Yang Meng's face,

"Yes! I have to leave with you and return to your world! ”

"I don't want to be a miniature being studied!"

Seeing Xiaoguang say this,

Yang Meng was silent, in fact, he had been very entangled in Xiaoguang's handling of the problem.

Should he take Xiaoguang back? Or do you want to do something else?

Although he also hopes that the earth side will make a decision,

But it's more than 12 light-years away from Earth, and it's been 24 years since the information came and went.

And as a human being, he can't waste 24 years of life in vain.

Cryo-dormancy was necessary, and during this time, he couldn't let Hikaru wander around his spaceship.

He also couldn't predict what this alien energy life would do on the ship.

So how to deal with Xiaoguang, he is very entangled,

But what he didn't expect was that Xiaoguang offered to separate from him,

Regarding Xiaoguang's proposal, Yang Meng quickly recovered from his surprise,

He thought about it carefully, and from the perspective of human beings, he might be able to understand Xiaoguang's idea of wanting to separate from him:

"If one day the human race becomes extinct, and I am the only one left, what will happen if I encounter an alien with a similar level of technology to humans?"

"If that alien wants to bring me back to their planet, will I go?"

Yang Meng didn't have an accurate answer in his heart,

Although he has no answer in his mind, the history of the development of human civilization tells him how to choose to some extent.
