Chapter 449 Planetary transformation begins:
Hope's finger swiping the holographic projection suddenly paused.
"What did you say?!"
He couldn't tell whether he was excited or surprised, extremely complex emotions surged crazily in his heart.
"The preparatory plan for planetary transformation started half a year ago! So soon?!!"
"Has the terraforming been completed?"
"What is the Academy of Sciences going to do next?!"
Hope asked his teammates somewhat incoherently.
Hansent did not speak, but raised his wrist and turned on the holographic projection function of the watch.
After entering a few keywords, he reached out and made a gesture.
The holographic screen flips.
"The Academy of Humanities and Sciences announced today that it has officially launched the planetary transformation plan"
"Comet Nero has been successfully captured and will arrive at Dawn Star in six months"
"The surface terraforming project of Dawn Star has been completed, let us wait for the arrival of Nero"
"..."
Hope stared blankly at the news on the holographic screen.
He was just muted for a few hours, why did it feel like he had traveled through time?
He didn't have time to ask, so he quickly reached out and clicked on the information, checking it carefully.
…
Six months ago, Dawn Star City No. 6 was officially completed.
But to everyone's surprise, the construction plan for City No. 7 has not appeared for a long time.
Amid everyone’s questions, the People’s Academy of Sciences released a plan without haste.
"Planet Transformation Preliminary Plan"
Under the long-term publicity of the holographic theater, even the new generation born from Proxima Centauri is full of expectations and fantasies about the "legendary" earth age.
Not to mention the older generation from Earth.
The moment I learned that Dawn Star might become the second Earth in the future, and that humans might once again live under blue skies and white clouds,
The six surface cities were completely boiling!
All young people of appropriate age voluntarily went to the City Administration Bureau to apply to participate in this renovation plan.
Hope and Hansant are no exception.
Naturally, they continued their old business - prospecting for ores.
When they have time, they will also drive mineral exploration ships to help transport supplies.
Although it cannot match the efficiency of robots, there is great power in numbers, and the labor of hundreds of millions of people has greatly accelerated the completion of pre-planning.
In just half a year, canals and lakes of various sizes appeared on Dawn Star...
Of course, they are all dry at the moment.
Not only that, high dams and various drainage facilities have also been built near the six surface cities.
At that time, the Academy of Sciences did not clearly explain the purpose of these facilities, which also caused many people to wonder.
After all, there is not enough water on Dawn Star.
The water area not far from City No. 1 is only the size of the Mediterranean Sea. Although there are several water areas further away, the scales are similar.
The so-called embankments and drainage facilities were just decorations at the time.
Therefore, many people speculate that the Academy of Sciences is preparing to transport water resources from the eighth planet of Gliese 555.
Even Hope and Hansent thought so.
But now it seems.
They are still too young.
No one expected that the Academy of Sciences would go all the way to capture an icy comet with a radius of 300 kilometers without saying a word!
Hope looked at the picture in the holographic projection excitedly.
With the cooperation of countless robots, a huge black curtain was covered on the surface of the comet.
A black curtain made of carbon nanotubes blocks a large amount of radiation from Gliese 555.
The comet's tail, which originally stretched for hundreds of millions of kilometers, completely disappeared at this moment!
Then, driven by a hundred [Taotie] material reserve ships, the comet began to slow down slowly and changed its course - it no longer flew towards Gliese 555, but flew straight towards the Dawn Star!
In order to reduce the loss of the comet as much as possible, the farther away from Gliese 555, the better.
According to data given by the Academy of Sciences, Comet Nero will intersect with Dawn Star in six months and be captured by Dawn Star’s gravity!
Such a huge ice comet merges into the Dawn Star...
A conservative estimate is that it was a very large rainfall that affected the entire Dawn Star!
…
"Fuck..."
After reading the news, thousands of words in Hope's mind merged into a simple vocabulary.
"No wonder, no wonder we have to build dams and drainage facilities!"
"Professor Lu is awesome!"
His body trembled slightly, his face flushed and he shouted in a low voice.
Hansent, who was standing in front of him, shrugged and closed the holographic screen.
Although he had the same reaction the moment he saw the news.
But now...
"I said, brother, can you be calmer and calmer like me?"
Hope: "..."
He didn't pay attention to Hansent's words.
At this time, he was quickly opening his watch, preparing to continue searching for relevant information.
"Okay, no need to search anymore, that's about all the useful information." Hansent stretched out his hand to interrupt Hope's movements.
"Huh?" Hope was stunned, "What happened after the comet arrived? Didn't the Academy of Sciences say anything?"
"I didn't say that." Hansent rolled his eyes angrily, "You also know the temper of the Academy of Sciences."
"It is estimated that these plans will not be disclosed until the last minute."
Hope's mouth twitched and he turned to look in the direction of the water.
This time, his eyes did not stop at the "small pond" in front of him, but directly towards the blue-purple sky.
Six months.
In just six months, Dawn will be reborn!
…
July 29, 2384 Earth Calendar.
There are still three days before Nero reaches the scheduled orbit.
As the alarm sounded, all humans on the surface of Dawn returned to the six surface cities.
…
Dawn City No. 1, Human Union Academy of Sciences Headquarters.
"Zero, make the final confirmation."
Lv Yongchang's voice sounded in the command hall.
"Confirming..."
Zero's voice sounded, and a fast-moving progress bar appeared in the huge holographic projection in front.
A few seconds later.
"It has been confirmed that there are no stranded people outside Dawn."
Lv Yongchang nodded seriously and gave the order.
"Close the city!"
The port gates connecting the six surface cities to the outside world made a rumbling sound under the push of hydraulic devices.
Under the gaze of everyone, the port gates slowly closed.
"The "Noah's Ark" plan is officially launched."
The first step of the Dawn surface environment transformation plan, "Noah's Ark".
Similar to Noah's Ark in the Bible, humans at this time also hid in six surface cities to avoid the upcoming global heavy rain.
When the rain ends and the flood recedes, humans who leave the surface cities will get a brand new home!
