Several beams of light, carrying the 20-meter-high and 50-meter-diameter disks inside each of them, were slowly descending, a convenient mode of transportation from the track to the surface, and Shati was sitting in them in the direction of the base;

Here, she browsed through the many materials that flashed in her mind, and at the same time looked at the scenery outside the porthole, and corresponded the two one by one.......

The first thing that caught her eye in the process was the surface environment composed of large white patches mixed with a small amount of brown in the distance below, and from time to time there were white pillars looming from the distance;

Although the extremely low temperature of Siweisan has caused these waters of unknown origin to turn into an ice crust 50 kilometers thick, and completely cover most of the surface of the earth, only a small number of rocky structures like mountains and floating islands can be exposed from them, forming a criss-crossing stripe structure on the surface.

However, the gravitational traction from different directions, resonating with the orbit, and converting it into heat and energy inside the star, forming a saltwater ocean more than 100 kilometers deep under the thick ice shell that is almost permafrost, and giving Si Weisan a metallic core that has not been completely cooled;

In this structure, the ice shell, the ocean, and the mantle produce a layered rotation mode that is fast up and down slowly, and the ice shell above will be torn apart under the action of tidal gravity, thus forming deep cracks, and the ocean inside will erupt from it until it is about 200 kilometers away, and then fall back to the surface again.

The water that is spewed out can create more than just spectacular scenery......

Under the impact of charged particles and ultraviolet irradiation, they will be decomposed into a part of elements 1 and 8;

Among them, most of the No. 1 element will escape into the universe, but the No. 8 element can be deposited on the surface of the star due to its high atomic weight, so that Si Weisan has an extremely thin atmosphere with life gas as the main component.....

And this kind of environment with ice shell, liquid water, and atmosphere not only provides some convenience for the elves at this moment, but also provides some possibility for this extremely cold star in the hundreds of millions of years of evolution it has experienced before......

~~~~~~~~

At this moment, the disc slowly came to the top of the ice, and the ice filled with inscriptions at the place where it landed was separated at its lower end, and closed at the upper end after its passage;

And the cabin where Shadi is located has also continued to land on its own in the process.....

One kilometer .... Three kilometers ..... Seven kilometers ......

It wasn't until about ten kilometers deep that Shatie finally saw the area where the base was located, and the disc was descending along with several other beams at the outer transportation hub in different directions.

So, Shati, who had just finished browsing the general situation of the four guards and three in her mind and looked at the scenery all the way here, slowly got up at this moment and followed the elves in her companions, slowly walking towards the hatch that was opened.

After that, there was a light that was completely different from the mother star and had not been adjusted by the portholes, and after the layers of light and refraction of the ice shell inscriptions, it finally shone into the eyes of the elves along the open hatch, and this semi-natural light with a slight blue color also gave Shatie the illusion that she was in a fish tank.

Maybe it's not wrong? Isn't this a fish tank with no fish and no water? ’

This is what you feel when you leave the commuter cabin and actually step inside the base......

This area is hemispherical in shape and appears ice blue, which is undoubtedly the base of the four guards and three bases;

Its surface is about 7 kilometers in diameter and about 3.5 kilometers in height, and the inside is covered with a layer of blue-gold flesh metal composites, and on top of it are sparse buildings that are also blue-gold and stand around the energy cores in the center.

At this moment, thoughts from the home planet of all souls appeared out of thin air from the Chrono Faith Channel, and then were born from the purple-gold 'flesh and blood metal terminals' in the center and the four directions, and entangled in the outermost layer of the base, forming a dark blue phantom-like shield diaphragm;

This diaphragm not only provides a wide area of stable gravity and gas environment, but also works with the surrounding ice crust to create a constant internal temperature and external heat insulation, which is one of the main reasons for the maintenance of the current status of the base.

At the same time, deep ice-blue tunnels can be seen between the outer ice shells that are almost clinging to the shield, and even if they seem to have left the protective range, you can still see flying machines constantly entering and exiting from them.

Among them, the vast majority of the aircraft have to leave the base and go to the real surface area, because there are many production bases built in the floating islands of the ice shell, and various supply and transportation tasks are born from time to time;

The rest of the world flew to the surrounding sub-bases of the ice floor, and even to the saltwater ocean beneath the ice.......

~~~~~

After a double check between herself and the base brain, Shadi, who confirmed that the pre-activation measures for the protection of the body inscription were fine, was finally released, and actually walked in the base and began her visit to the home planet for about two days.

In the process, she has stepped on almost all areas from the surface production center, to the large and small bases in the ice, to the production sites suspended or submerged in the deep sea, and to the scientific research stations located in various places.

However, most of them are passing by, and only the most important research base of the Republic here, the Institute of Extreme Cold Biology, was taken out by Shadi for nearly half of the home planet day, and visited and deeply understood it carefully and completely;

The research object of the institute is naturally the unique biological group of Si Wei San, and Shadi has indeed seen many special creatures, including those from Si Wei San and those from the home planet.

When it comes to 'four guardians and three characteristic creatures', we have to mention that they have the same life base as the parent star, as well as the somewhat different macroscopic forming principles;

The former exhibits a substrate structure that is almost identical to that of the parent planet, which makes the elves suspect that the two sides are of the same origin, and put forward two conjectures that cannot be chosen for the time being;

First, it is believed that the source of life lies only in the elven home planet, and that it has descended here by extremely rare accident and in some unknown form, and gradually evolved into its current form;

Second, the life of Guardian and Three is indeed the same origin as the parent planet, but both of them come from the outside world and are visitors from deep space who unexpectedly arrived with the same batch of meteorites.

Although we don't know what the truth is, these two flowers have embarked on very different evolutionary paths due to their completely different environments, resulting in the 'different macroscopic forming principles' mentioned earlier, and have become important research objects for elves today......

Among them, there are various microbial groups with very simple life forms, some of which live in the area of hydrothermal vents on the seafloor, and some live in cold and brackish water at various depths;

Streamlined 'mollusk multipods' ranging from millimeters to decimeters have also been found in the sea, and although most of them feed on microorganisms, they have also been observed to eat small and small, and decompose by microorganisms after death, and a very simple food chain has been deduced.

If only that's the case, it's actually fine, but the cold but not extremely cold saltwater oceans, underground thermal vents, and their respective needs for oxygen-rich or oxygen-deficient environments make these life beings lack some kind of 'specificity' compared to the parent planet;

That is to say, their existence does not seem to be able to play much role other than to make the Republic feel that life is not alone.

However, the follow-up discoveries of more complex groups of organisms in the interior of the permafrost ice, between the rock-based floating islands on the ice crust, and in the partially exposed ice mountains provided a unique evolutionary picture for the temporarily extinguished and somewhat disappointing biological research.....

Perhaps countless years ago, due to the intermittent eruption properties of underground hydrothermal vents, some microorganisms gradually developed some adaptations;

They have either evolved the ability to sleep in extreme cold and wait for the next cycle, or they have survived at the genetic level by breeding hardy eggs;

In the subsequent iteration of life for hundreds or tens of millions of years, some of them have the ability to adapt to cold water, and have left the original place where they were raised, and truly embarked on a new journey of evolution....

After that, they survived in the icy salt water, and perhaps by some accident came to the crevices of the ice shell, and were sent into the air by the fountains that rose to the sky;

But when it fell, it accidentally came to the upper part of the ice shell and those rock-based floating islands, and then in the continuous cycle of death and survival, after countless deaths, the miracle of life finally reappeared, allowing some creatures to successfully survive on the harsher surface.

Today, these tenacious lucky ones live in the ice crust and rock base outcrops, and have evolved a very rich biological community.....

It is a tenacious arctic bryophyte, a parasitic pseudo-plant, an ice insect as small as a millimeter and as large as a decimeter, and a predatory ice-like life form that can be up to a meter and more complex.

They resemble clusters of ice crystals, or indistinguishable ice, and even elves are hard to identify with the naked eye.

And most of them are creatures that are completely integrated with ice, and they may use ice as a skeleton, carapace, and even viscera, muscles, blood and other complex functional structures, supplemented by a large number of naturally formed totemic structures, to complete the maintenance and operation of their own lives;

What's more, these structures may not even have been formed, and the entire body is made up of ice and natural inscriptions, as well as extremely tiny cell nodes.

But no matter how deep or shallow this inscription culture is, it can be said that they are real, ice-based demonic creatures, and most of them rely on the role of natural totems to survive in such extreme cold.

And the elves have also successfully absorbed a lot of knowledge that is different from the inherent knowledge of the mother planet in these 'demonized plants', 'demonized insects', and 'demonized animals', and have made the ice-like and cold-resistant spells and totem techniques have been updated one after another.

However, these animals and plants, which survive by relying on natural totem arrays, are by no means the focus of the Republic at this moment, because they still bring quantitative changes in knowledge and application to the elven race, rather than some kind of puzzle that can drive the evolution of the entire race.

However, two of these biological populations, which can be said to be very weak in this world, have unexpectedly opened the elven researchers to the elements that can be called the 'key puzzle'.

First, it is the 'extremely cold moss' mentioned earlier, and there is almost no trace of natural inscriptions in its internal and external places, but it can maintain its own life characteristics in the extreme cold;

Second, it is a worm-like life form that also has the ability to survive without relying on natural inscription arrays.....

Whether it is a worm or a moss, it is one of the few life forms here that has maintained a high level of pure biological nature;

The former has a translucent body, with the internal bones and viscera structure, as well as the ice-blue blood, all clearly visible, and only slightly demonized, and it is not a 'natural inscription body' that is common in this area.

Somewhat unusually, these worms have evolved into flesh and blood, and have a very rudimentary brain-like center, and researchers have found the 'Inscription Core' in it, and found that it is a very primitive magic-like crystal structure, and has the ability to release spell-like spells.

Although its quasi-spell effect is not worth mentioning, the key is that it only intervenes in attack and defense behavior, but does not increase the survivability of the worm itself in the extreme cold.

Coincidentally, the Ice Moss also has almost the same attributes, and it is this seemingly inconspicuous point on both sides that is the place where the elves really pay attention.....

You must know that even powerful warriors and spellcasters cannot survive in the extremely low temperature environment of 55 absolute degrees and 110 absolute degrees on the surface of the four guards and three without relying on equipment and body inscription protection, but these two types of weak and primitive lifeforms have achieved such an almost impossible feat.....

This is undoubtedly a miracle of life, and it is also an important piece of the puzzle that can expand the survival adaptability of elves, so the exploration and analysis of their specific causes is an important mission of this base, and it has achieved short- and medium-term results at this moment......

The researchers extracted a kind of cell secretion from moss and worms, and observed considerable extreme cold resistance in related animal and plant experiments, analyzed their respective chemical compositions, and completed the synthesis of secretions in a laboratory environment.

The most important thing is to screen and locate the genetic fragments that can produce this secretion, and insert them into the genetic factors of the experimental organisms, so as to find a way for the organisms to produce themselves, so there are many experimental organisms from the home planet in captivity in the base.

And the ultimate goal of this research is actually two-fold...

First, it manifests itself in the body of the elf in the form of a new organ, just like the current 'plexus braids' and 'second heart nucleus', and in this way, the population gains extreme resistance to low temperatures, thereby broadening the overall endogenous survival adaptability;

The second is to insert the coldiness of moss-derived plants into existing magical plants, or simply use moss as a base to cultivate new plant sequences......

Under the combination of the two, the Republic can save all kinds of troubles in many ways by developing and pioneering the periphery of the mother eternal system, those frozen and dark areas.

In addition, these demonic plants, ice mosses, or 'pseudo-plants' controlled by parasites found on Si Wei San have also successfully broadened the researchers' thinking in many aspects such as plant nutrient requirements and light requirements.

Let the elves realize that the environment on the home planet is not a necessity, such as the barren rock foundation and extremely low temperature environment like Si Weisan, as well as the more complex 'gas giant' environment, and the extremely hot and waterless environment of Purgator, it is completely possible to try to make the plants obtain specialized and even comprehensive survival adaptability through modification;

It may even be possible to give them the ability to modify the environment in a targeted way, so that by planting them in the target star, they can cultivate the type of environment that the Republic needs.

At the same time, the existence of animate phenomena on the four guards and their considerable help to the elves led to the idea of the Council of Glory (the reorganization of the Rune Council at the end of the 200-year discipline) and then to promote a piece of legislation;

That is, a series of laws and regulations that constrain the elves' own code of conduct based on the principles of 'non-threatening', 'non-hostile', and 'uniqueness', and the principles of 'non-contact', 'non-interference', 'non-intervention', and 'shielding signals', aiming to protect the environmental conditions of the 'living primitive planet', the independent evolution of life, and the independent development of civilization.

The purpose is to protect the diversity of life forms, civilization models, and technological paths in the universe, so that the Republic itself can have the opportunity to obtain new unexpected 'puzzle pieces' again in observation......

Of course, for the elves who have not even been able to get out of the parent star system for the time being, this seems to be too far ahead and thinks too highly of themselves, but after continuous consultations and deductions, the Glory Council finally passed this series of relevant guiding regulations.

The first step is to immediately evacuate the Siwei 3 general base after completing the extreme cold resistance project, and relocate to the rest of the inanimate natural satellites such as Siwei 1 or 4 Wei 3 next door;

At the same time, it is necessary to completely eliminate the traces and influence of the direct or indirect presence of the Republic in the four guards, and not to carry out any contact except necessary scientific research needs thereafter......

The reason for this is that Guardian III is a star with the potential to continue to evolve, although it may have to go through a very long and reciprocating time span, and it is even very likely that it will die in the middle of it.

But even then, it was far better than an unnatural demise at the hands of elves.....

The extreme adaptability evolved for the special environment, although its expressiveness appears to be quite powerful, but there are also shortcomings such as narrowness of adaptability, so even if the elves make mistakes and inadvertently promote a slight change in the environment, it is very likely to lead to a mass extinction of life;

And such an ending seems to be a bit regrettable..... The expected diversity of life forms, unique civilizations and technological evolutionary paths will disappear as a result.

~~~~~~~~

During the visit to the ice and the deep sea, Shadi continued to absorb all kinds of relevant or further extended knowledge, and felt that the trip was full of harvest;

After the scheduled two home planets, the leader of the convoy finally issued an update stating that all the requirements for the trip had been met, and that the flotilla would leave for the return after three hours, so that the members of the convoy on the orbit would return immediately.

Although there is still a little regret in her heart that she has not done her best, Shaty still stepped on the transportation module as soon as possible, transferred to the space station, and returned to the spaceship she was on.

And when she returned to the ship, the huge and sturdy master had just finished counting the cargo, and was doing the final off-duty inspection in front of the light curtain......

Shaty also saw a black kiss mark on the master's face that had not been cleared, and further judged from its size, shade, and color that it should come from a physical elf lady who was more than six meters tall, far stronger than herself, and liked to dress up in a mysterious style.

"Who could it be, the big sister on ship 12 or the sister on ship 21, their relationship with the uncle seems to be quite ambiguous......

Just as she thought about it, her own fleet and most of the spacecraft docked on the space station were loaded with elemental cargo and the base's waste fuel rods, and after updating the channel information, replacing the ship's fuel rods, and replenishing the corresponding propulsion fluid, they also set sail and left.

In an instant, the four-guard and three-track that originally looked very lively actually produced a slight feeling of depression.....

The rest of the way back was always facing the sun, and as the light in the center was getting brighter and brighter, the spacecraft passed through the asteroid belt, crossed the third orbit without a dead star, and headed straight for the direction of the parent star.

On the way, although Shaty missed the Death Star base due to orbital speed issues, he was fortunate enough to see the mining spacecraft in the asteroid belt......

It was a mining ship attached to the surface of a scattered star, with countless 'alchemical tentacles' extending from its belly into the ground below, and slicing and refining the corresponding target bonanza;

Later, when the faster Death Star approached again, other transport ships would follow the signal and bring all the rare minerals that had been roughed back to the Death Star Smelting Base for refining.

And just as Shatie was looking at the rough spaceship from a distance in the perspective of the spaceship, the old master suddenly said......

"You're a little unlucky, you kid, and you've missed another very important start.....

"Ah, what's wrong with me?"

"The construction of the Outer Solar System Exploration Base, that is, the Second Moon, has been established, and almost a few days after we leave, the Pioneers, the Grand Consuls, and the members of the Elder Chair of the Council of Glory will project to the Four Guards and Three Bases to start selecting the site."

"It's a pity that we can't stay for a few more days, otherwise you will have the opportunity to see His Excellency the Pioneer up close~"

"Huh? Uncle, why didn't you say it earlier! ”

"Hey, what's the use of talking earlier, this spaceship can't project you, and you won't run away before leaving, right?"

"Yes, alas...."

In the midst of such a shallow regret, the spacecraft completed the entire voyage from the four-orbited star to the home star in about 45 home star days, and finally anchored at the purple moon base and unloaded a lot of cargo with the ship.

For example, fusion fuel, and discarded fission fuel rods.....

The use of the former does not need to be mentioned, but for the time being, they will only be sent to the orbital reserve module to complete high-voltage storage under the power supply of solar power.

Among the latter, except for a very small part of the consumption of the spaceship itself, the vast majority of it is the accumulation and consumption of the Siwei and Three Bases and many spaceships over there, and the reason why they have to travel thousands of miles to transport these pollution sources back to the home planet is because they have become a very useful cultivation raw material for today's Republic and Elves......

Among them, the continuous decay radiation is a fairly efficient assimilation source for the vitality field, so there is more and more demand for the construction of the 'space radiation cultivation field';

At the same time, the elf cultivation center also needs to have these waste fuel rods to act as a radiation source, and its purpose is naturally similar to that of the 'cultivation ground'.

The loading and unloading of these goods is basically done automatically, but this time Shadi did not hand over all the inspection work to the master himself, but stayed and chose to help and familiarize himself with the process.....

After a busy day, and a period of rest and waiting, the window of Purgatory's channel finally arrived, and the fleet set sail again, loaded with supplies, and flew to the first orbit.

In this process, the Republic ushered in the birth of a new batch of elves, including Alena and Rena, two small ones, of which the former's field projection and Shaty's meeting will also take place in the Purgatory Star Base in the near future, and each will embark on its own path of growth.
