Chapter 370 Habitable Planet?
"Don't be afraid, it won't eat you."
Grabbing Arusha's hand, Li Meng pulled her towards the recliner.
Back to the recliner, Arusha was very obedient and nestled in Li Meng's arms,
her long tail swaying.
In Li Meng's arms, Arusha whispered: "Master, Qiwuxing is the home planet of the Il tribe after all. Although they haven't returned for tens of thousands of years, the Il tribe has never forgotten this place. One day, there will be curious Il tribes who want to come back and take a look at the home planet. When they find that humans have occupied this place, they will realize that the threat of the Snake Wing King Beast is no longer there, and there will be a wave of returning to the home planet within the Il tribe. By then, the battle between the Il tribe and humans may be unavoidable."
When he learned that Qiwuxing was the home planet of the Il tribe, Li Meng thought of this day.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
Among the nearby habitable planets, only Qiwuxing has the best living environment.
The environment of other habitable planets is too harsh.
Except for being able to breathe, it is not suitable for human survival at all.
Because there is no choice, even if Qi Wuxing is the home planet of the four empires, humans should occupy it.
Even if they have to migrate in the future, that is a matter of the future.
At present, humans need a period of peaceful development and a place to settle down.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. No matter how difficult the problem is, there is always a solution."
It is important to plan ahead, but without the basis for solving things, nothing can be done.
At present, humans can only take one step at a time.
Li Meng looked at Qi Wuxing outside the window with a slight sidelong glance.
Calculating the time, the fleet heading to the dark domain should be arriving soon.
It has been almost four years, and there is still no news from the astropath.
Is there any accident?
No, it won't.
The node of the astropath is still there, which means that the fleet is still sailing in the subspace.
It seems that they encountered a subspace storm, and the sailing time has been greatly increased.
——
The starry sky is boundless, dark, cold and dead.
In the depths of the distant starry sky.
In a dark universe.
With the stars as the background, the space suddenly twisted.
Purple-red vortices emerged strangely.
Dark warships of all sizes flew out of the purple-red vortex.
As the fleet jumped out of the subspace, the purple-red vortex collapsed and disappeared.
This is a fleet consisting of six Cobra destroyers, three Firestorm-class escort ships, and a Moon-class cruiser.
In the flagship, in the bridge.
"Colonel Mullen, we have arrived at the designated star field."
Outside the window, the protective deck was slowly opening.
Standing up, Mullen came to the window and looked at the familiar starry sky outside.
"Where are we?" Mullen asked.
"In an unknown star system, the auspicious instrument shows that it is very calm, and no aircraft has been detected."
"Captain Mullen, after optical equipment observation, there are 17 planet-level celestial bodies in the star system, one of which seems to have the possibility of life, and water and green vegetation have been found on it."
Habitable planet?
Mullen was delighted.
They are too lucky.
They have encountered a one in a million chance.
You should know that naturally formed habitable planets are extremely rare in the universe.
Most habitable planets suitable for carbon-based life forms are transformed through acquired transformation.
As for which ancient civilization transformed them, it is a mystery.
With a wave of his hand, Maren said: "The fleet will immediately go to the target planet, immediately!"
Their mission this time is to find a habitable planet.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they jumped out of the subspace, they found a habitable planet.
This made Maren a little unbelievable.
When did he become so lucky.
"Also, tell the king the news here, and say that we have arrived and found a celestial body similar to a habitable planet, and are conducting the first phase of exploration."
Outside, with Maren's order.
The engines at the tail of each ship sprayed out long white smells.
Under the powerful thrust, the fleet continued to accelerate and flew into the depths of the starry sky.
Three hours later...
In a dark universe, a blue planet floated quietly.
In the outer space of the planet, the fleet slowly entered the planet's orbit.
Looking at the planet in front of him that looked like a blue gem, a hint of surprise flashed in Maren's eyes.
It is so beautiful, it is definitely a habitable planet.
You can see oceans, forests, mountains, and lakes on it.
The presence of green vegetation is enough to prove that it is a habitable planet.
As for whether it has an environment suitable for human breathing, this is another matter.
"Immediately carry out the first phase of exploration, let the "V3" transport boat set off, and establish a scientific research base on the surface of the planet."
A strange habitable planet, if you want to occupy it, you need to do a lot of work.
At Mullen's order, outside, the harbor gate on the left side of the flagship slowly opened.
Five "V3" transport boats flew out one after another, rushing straight to the surface of the planet.
After a while, they broke into the atmosphere.
For a while, looking up from the ground of the planet, five huge fireballs appeared in the sky.
And looking up to the higher sky, nine small ships can be seen.
It lasted for more than 20 seconds before the flames dissipated.
At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, five "V3" transport boats dragged long white tails and swooped down.
That was the contrail cloud.
"Landing team, how is the air quality?"
In the bridge, Maren kept an eye on the progress of the landing team.
"Gravity 1.1, no toxic substances detected in the air, oxygen content 1.3, can be breathed directly."
Hearing this, Maren breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect this mission to be so smooth.
I found a great new home so quickly.
The environment of this planet is simply perfect.
The continent occupies two-thirds of the total area, and the ocean area is only one percent.
"Continue the mission, analyze the vegetation, water, rocks and soil composition on the surface of the planet."
No matter how perfect a habitable planet is, there may be threats.
Maren knew that he couldn't be careless at this moment.
He had to collect data on this planet.
Atmosphere, air density, oxygen content, vegetation, rocks, soil, and water.
Everything must be analyzed, and none of them can be left out.
There are also microorganisms on the planet, whether there are viruses harmful to humans.
A newly discovered habitable planet often takes several years to determine whether it is suitable for colonization.
Every step cannot be left out.
One carelessness, one mistake, often results in a large number of unnecessary casualties.
The roar of the engine resounded through the heavens and earth.
Five "V3" transport boats swooped down from the clouds.
The powerful power caused a vortex in the clouds behind, stirring up a large cloud of fog.
Five "V3 transport boats" flew at low altitude over a mountain range.
Passing over the top of the mountain, a visible air current was raised.
