Chapter 847: Re-entering Titan

With the observation technology of human civilization today, finding a satellite of a planet is really an extremely easy thing.

At the moment when Lv Yongchang finished speaking, a conspicuous yellow logo appeared in the giant holographic projection in front of him.

In the yellow logo, there is a small, dim dot that is difficult to detect with the naked eye.

That is Titan.

Next to the huge Saturn, Titan is as inconspicuous as a grain of sand.

Under the gaze of a group of academicians, the picture in the holographic projection quickly enlarged.

After more than two thousand years, the true face of Titan appeared in front of Lv Yongchang again.

Looking at the orange planet that appeared in the same memory due to a small amount of tholin material, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance has not changed much.

This at least proves that there was no problem with the original deduction-this lucky planet successfully avoided the attack of the solar helium flash.

"Maybe..." Lu Yongchang suddenly recalled Gao Yang's words, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, "Are there really surviving jellyfish on Titan?"

From the Earth era to the present, he has seen all kinds of life, and witnessed the belief of these lives struggling to survive in various harsh environments.

Therefore, he has always believed in the miracle of life.

When he thought that there might still be a "fellow countryman" in the solar system after more than 2,000 years, Lu Yongchang couldn't sit still.

He stood up from his seat and gave orders in a hurried and expectant tone.

"Zero! Send a small exploration ship..."

"No, send three small exploration ships to land on Titan for a comprehensive search!"

According to common sense.

For the exploration of small satellites such as Titan, a spherical probe is more than enough.

But in order to complete the exploration work as soon as possible and to avoid detection blind spots, Lu Yongchang still increased the exploration intensity several times.

After the order was issued, Lv Yongchang sighed deeply and once again focused all his attention on the planet that glowed light orange under the light of the red giant star.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the significance of the civilization of [Shiyi] to [Tenth Empire].

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are descendants.

When the civilization looks beyond the Milky Way, let alone the civilization and life born on the same planet.

Even the life born in the same star system, in Lv Yongchang's view, has an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

…

A side port of the [Jinwu] battleship located on the periphery of the fleet quietly opened.

At the same time, three small exploration ships with a size of less than 100 meters slowly flew out of the huge port gate, and drove the curvature engine to fly quickly towards Titan in the distance.

In the command center, as the producer of the recording and promotional video, Qi Mengshu looked at the holographic projection in front of him nervously.

In the picture, the small orange planet is getting closer and closer.

Qi Mengshu's heart beat faster.

Although she had never seen the so-called Titan jellyfish with her own eyes, and she didn't know what happened at that time, in the history of the Human Union for more than 2,000 years, what happened on Titan was actually described in only a few lines of text in the history books for the general public.

The Titan Outpost Project discovered unknown life forms living in the methane ocean, and... In order to obtain lubricants with excellent performance, the Human Union carried out extinction-style fishing for this nascent civilization.

At the request of Lu Yongchang, this is the history that every citizen of the Human Union who has received compulsory education must know.

But the time span of more than 2,000 years is still too long, so this painful history is difficult to resonate with the new generation, including Qi Mengshu.

The orange planet has occupied the entire holographic projection.

The three exploration ships have successfully entered the synchronous orbit of Titan.

Looking at the dilapidated technological creations on the synchronous orbit, a heavy historical atmosphere rushed towards Qi Mengshu.

Her heart was beating violently, she subconsciously held her breath and pressed the record button on her personal terminal.

The probe did not stay in Titan's synchronous orbit for too long.

After a brief glance, they plunged into the thick atmosphere.

The orange atmosphere diffused around the probe, blocking the view of the high-definition camera.

The atmosphere in the command center became more and more solemn.

Even Lv Yongchang changed his previous calmness and pursed his lips tightly, staring at the holographic projection interface.

…

The probe using the curvature engine descended very quickly.

Because the space itself was moving, the friction between the atmosphere and the probe was close to zero.

At first it was narrow, but it was passable. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became clear.

After a short wait, the probe broke through the high-level atmosphere filled with tholin matter, and the picture in the holographic projection became clear instantly.

A large flat land and a medium-sized, sparkling "ocean".

Add to that the faint orange atmosphere and the orange-red sun...

At just one glance, Qi Mengshu was deeply attracted by this fantastic scene.

But unlike Qi Mengshu, the moment the clear picture appeared, a rather uncoordinated voice sounded in the command center.

Qi Mengshu heard it clearly.

It was a sigh full of helplessness.

"The surface temperature has risen a bit."

Lv Yongchang shook his head with disappointment, turned to explain to Qi Mengshu: "The original huge methane ocean evaporated a lot. Even with Saturn as a barrier, the solar helium flash still had a significant impact on it."

He glanced at the statistics on the side: "This should be the original Kraken-Mare Sea, and its area has shrunk by nearly 50%."

"Now, it can only be called Kraken-Mare Lake."

"Not to mention the original lakes and small oceans, they are almost gone."

"This is an extremely huge blow to those jellyfish."

"At present..."

Lv Yongchang sighed deeply: "There is little hope!"

"Professor, have you forgotten that there is an inland sea?" Gao Yang's voice sounded again.

"There is an inland sea under the Kraken-Mare Sea!"

"If those jellyfish hid in the inland sea..."

Lv Yongchang was slightly stunned, and the dusty memories in his mind emerged.

It seems...

Is this the case?
