In July 2076, after another half-year of construction, the Hope Star Base was improved.
Not only were the water and energy problems alleviated, but the 400,000-square-meter airport was also completed and could be used at any time.
So as more construction work was handed over to unmanned units, the pioneers who were born with adventurous genes became active again and wanted to see the outside world, no longer within 100 kilometers, but at least 1,000 kilometers, 10,000 kilometers , or even explore around the world, remember that the Star of Hope has a circumference of 650,000 kilometers.
"Set at this place first."
Qiao Yunhe looked at the Hope Star map.
The 190,000-kilometer diameter brought a vast explorable area.
There was no ocean, and it was all made up of bare mountains, hills, canyons and plains.
Even with technological advancement, he thought It would take an unknown amount of time to explore all of them, so you have to choose.
The team members of "Equatorial Dust Sea" looked at the aerial photos and muttered: "What is the temperature there?
Is there any value to explore?"
The temperature is about 200 degrees Celsius on average, which is slightly hotter than ours."
Qiao Yuanhe recalled the data, "However, we are also staying in the Moon-class spacecraft, and we are not walking there.
We can still withstand it in a short period of time.
The invasion of scorching heat. " "The reason why we chose that place is because the aerial footage shows that the area has undergone several abnormal geological changes.
It is not at all caused by meteorological or geological activities, but may be caused by some alien life."
"Whether life is real or fake and there are no organic matter, will it really allow us to discover life?
Besides, isn't it more important for us to discover mineral deposits?"
"There are only 50 of us, and the number of unmanned units managed by Miss Wuyue has just exceeded 10,000.
It would take hundreds of years to consume the mineral deposits within 100 kilometers around us, so the mineral deposits are not a critical issue."
"Alien creatures are different, except for unknown ones whose origins are not yet clear.
Since the establishment of East Galaxy Company, we have not found alien creatures on any planet.
If we find them, it will be a big discovery, even if Alpha Centaur's exploration overall It’s a loss, but you can also gain some reputation through it.”
Hear Joe Canal's narration.
The team members became interested and then asked: "So, what is the probability of discovering alien life?"
"There is about a 2 chance of finding alien life on the Hope Star, and a 01 chance of finding intelligent life.
As for life beyond human beings, it is obviously impossible.
If there is, it will definitely be exposed when we land."
"The probability is really pitifully low, but.
Since we have not made any discoveries on Mars, Ganymede, Callisto, or Titan, if there really is other life in the universe, it will be about time. ” All the team members agreed, and Qiao Yunhe happily arranged the exploration plan.
This time it will take at least 3 months, and most of the advance team members will participate.
There are only a few left behind, so careful arrangements must be made. 10 days later.
An exploration team of 30 people set off.
They boarded a Moon-class spacecraft and slowly lifted off under the constraints of huge gravity.
They kept flying at a speed of Mach 5.
It was unimaginable that they wanted to climb over the mountains below without a spacecraft. .
How long does it take to get through the obstacles?
Half a day later, they arrived at their destination, the equator.
They first looked for a relatively safe and cool place to prevent the Moon-class spacecraft from being cooked.
Then they drove out a construction vehicle to dig out the underground space and built a temporary camp step by step.
The top floor of the underground space is covered with a high-temperature-resistant metal film.
Along the 10-meter-long corridor, you can enter the camp, which is large enough to accommodate dozens of people for rest.
It even includes a simple communication station connected to the outside to keep in touch with the base.
The team members gathered around Qiao Canal and heard him say: "The preliminary preparations are completed.
There is no way to rely on spacecraft and unmanned units anymore, but we have to rely on ourselves."
"The dust sea is 450 kilometers long from north to south and 350 kilometers long from east to west.

The total area is about 150,000 square kilometers.
The surface soil is soft and the density does not exceed 25 tons cubic meters.
It extends to a depth of 500 meters underground.
Once we wearing protective clothing fall into Among them, it will sink indefinitely, so I have prepared oxygen bags for you that can maintain breathing for 24 hours, and life-saving air bags.
When activated in a crisis, they can generate buoyancy to prevent you from sinking. " "As for the specific exploration, first of all, there are 5 abnormal points that have been discovered in satellite aerial photography, and 11 key geological points found based on alien geology and deep geological exploration equipment.
I will first divide you into 6 groups.
Normally Leave one group to be responsible for guarding the camp and collecting supplies, while the remaining groups will go to the above points to explore one by one.”
One day later, Qiao Yunhe led the group to the first point.
It was mid-morning, and strong light shone overhead, making people dizzy and unmotivated from work.
Everyone had to seize the time to use an excavator to collect rock samples and find a relatively comfortable place to complete analysis and rest.
"Wow, it's so cool."
In a secret underground space, it seems that due to the special geological structure, the temperature under the Dust Sea dropped very quickly.
At 20 meters underground, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to 50 degrees Celsius, making everyone feel Extremely comfortable.
If you add the iced drink you brought here, as the low-temperature liquid enters the stomach along the esophagus, part of the cold air will be transferred out, causing the muscles to contract until it spreads throughout the body, and the feeling of pleasure will be beyond words.
At the other end of the space, two employees with basic experimental analysis skills were busy going back and forth on the experimental table nearby.
They analyzed the soil samples one by one, and then combined them with the intelligence obtained by other groups and the information captured by satellite aerial photography.
It didn't take long for a team member to understand the specific elemental composition of the dust sea.
Its surface is rich in a considerable amount of zinc and copper.
Moreover, if you go a hundred meters underground, it will be very easy to find many discrete high-quality materials.
Enriched with mineral deposits, it is simply a natural cornucopia of mineral deposits.
If the search for alien life and the discovery of mineral deposits are additional tasks, the analysis results of another team member are what many people are concerned about.
He discovered some strange features in the soil composition, especially those rich mineral deposits, which mostly showed a regular clump structure, so they did not seem to be naturally generated, and may be related to alien life.
At the same time, one after another, as the team members came to the anomaly in person, more useful information was exposed.
Just as Qiao Yunhe guessed, there might really be something underneath this place called the Sea of Dust.
Nothing else could explain what they've discovered so far.
"Very good, it looks like we are getting closer to our target.
Everyone, if you work harder, we may find it." s: The first update of the new year, please give me your recommendation and monthly votes:
