Chapter 387 Prehistoric
Such a scene.
Let alone Lv Yongchang,
Even Mao Zhengzhi, who was full of disgust at the beginning, was now staring at the holographic projection in front of him.
"How is it? Didn't disappoint you?" Lv Yongchang asked softly with a smile.
Mao Zhengzhi stared at the holographic image in front of him, muttering to himself: "No, no..."
"Professor." Zero's report sounded again, "The probe heading to the satellite is about to start landing."
Hearing this, Lv Yongchang glanced at Mao Zhengzhi beside him with a smile, and joked softly.
"Academician Mao, how about you go back and think about the details of the research?"
Academician Mao's expression suddenly collapsed, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Professor, don't tease me."
"It's come to this, who doesn't want to see what the satellite looks like!"
Lv Yongchang laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and waved in the air: "Zero, send the probe image over."
The moment the voice fell, the holographic screen in front of the two people instantly switched.
A planet with a bright yellow surface appeared in front of the two people.
"Huh?"
At just one glance, Lv Yongchang let out a surprised cry.
"River?" Mao Zhengzhi, who was standing by, expressed Lv Yongchang's doubts, "There are traces of rivers on this satellite?"
Lv Yongchang's eyes were full of surprise: "Not just rivers."
"Look carefully, there are even active volcanoes beside those dry rivers!"
"The core of this planet has not even cooled down completely!"
Mao Zhengzhi looked carefully in the direction of Lv Yongchang's finger.
Sure enough!
There are a few scattered red dots on the huge planet!
A satellite whose core has not yet cooled down!
"What a pity."
Lv Yongchang suddenly shook his head and sighed.
"Huh? What a pity?" Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and cast a surprised look at Lv Yongchang beside him.
What's so pity about this?
The core has not yet cooled down, which means that this planet may have a weak magnetic field.
In any case, it should be a good thing for humans!
Lv Yongchang pointed at the data beside him with his eyes and said softly: "Perhaps because of the mass of the planet, this planet does not retain much atmosphere."
"Spectral analysis shows that there is an extremely thin atmosphere on its surface.
"Similar to super-earths, the main components of the atmosphere are nitrogen and carbon dioxide."
"Liquid water is estimated to have completely disappeared..."
As he spoke, Lv Yongchang's voice suddenly paused for a moment.
"This, isn't this the prehistoric Mars whose core has not yet completely cooled? ! "
Just when Mao Zhengzhi was wondering, Lv Yongchang's exclamation came from the side!
According to the simulation results of Zero at the beginning, as the core gradually cooled, the liquid water and atmosphere on the surface of Mars gradually dissipated into the vast universe.
Finally, from a planet with primitive life, it gradually turned into that extremely desolate planet.
Isn't this supermoon in front of you at this stage?!
The difference from Mars is that its core has not yet completely cooled.
Similar diameter, similar body shape, and even the ground structure are surprisingly similar!
It's just that Mars is a planet belonging to the solar system.
This supermoon in front of you is not in this stage! A supermoon is a satellite of a super-Earth.
After a brief moment of daze, Mao Zhengzhi also reacted.
A deep joy suddenly burst out in his eyes!
This desolate star system became much more pleasing to the eye in just a few seconds!
Lv Yongchang's mood was also excited!
Although this discovery cannot bring any substantial benefits to mankind.
But there is no doubt that
Being on an alien planet, with this satellite that looks like Mars above your head, can bring some hope to countless people!
In the vast universe, it is this hope that supports human civilization to struggle and run forward with all its strength!
"Land! Land quickly! "
Lv Yongchang could not wait to give the landing order.
Perhaps sensing the urgency in Lv Yongchang's words, Zero did not waste any words and directly controlled the probe to "dive" towards the surface!
The picture gradually became clearer.
Craters, plains, hills, mountains...
As the distance to the surface got closer and closer, the picture in the holographic projection became clearer and clearer.
Irregular reddish-brown patterns were distributed on the dim yellow ground.
According to the data sent back by the probe, the main components of these reddish-brown patterns, like Mars, are iron oxide!
The probe slowly landed on the top of a mountain range.
Before the camera adjusted the angle, the atmospheric composition data Appeared in front of Lv Yongchang.
His eyes quickly skipped the first two components that occupied the majority and came to an extremely small data.
[Oxygen: 0.03%]
Alright.
The presence of iron oxide minerals, plus this extremely rare oxygen content.
Lv Yongchang even suspected that this supermoon was "copied" from Mars!
The camera angle was calibrated.
Clear image data appeared in front of Lv Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi through the long-distance communication device with almost no delay.
Light brown soil, blue-black sky, undulating ground, bright main star light...
"I plan to recreate the Mars base on it."
Lv Yongchang stared at the holographic projection in front of him and said softly: "All the drawings are in the database. It won't take much time for us to build another Mars city."
Mao Zhengzhi took a deep breath.
Then,
Nodded excitedly!
"Okay!"
"After it's built, I want to go there to rest for two days."
...
The preliminary exploration is over.
Next, these probes will release a large number of small exploration drones to conduct preliminary exploration and modeling of the two planets.
This is a long and boring time.
Therefore, Mao Zhengzhi said hello to Lv Yongchang and turned to leave the command center.
Next, his task is very heavy.
Whether humans can live on this super-Earth for a long time depends mainly on the progress of his scientific research project!
After seeing Mao Zhengzhi off, Lv Yongchang waved to close the holographic image in front of him and turned his head to look out of the porthole.
At this time, the human fleet has passed the outermost planet of Gliese 555 and headed straight for the super-Earth!
Soon, he will see with his own eyes the satellite that looks like Mars, and the super-Earth that is a plus version!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
"Zero, let Zhu Ziping go to Laboratory No. 1 to wait for me."
"Received."
Lu Yongchang took a deep look at the endless dark starry sky outside the porthole, turned around and walked towards the door of the command center.
In addition to genetic modification, humans need a "second leg" to walk.
