At this moment, Chen Yu was 90% certain that the rocket debris in front of him was very likely the new starship jointly developed by Daxia Aerospace and Newsk Corporation! It was a starship theoretically capable of landing on Mars!

Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't suppress his excitement.

It's not that he's particularly interested in Mars; after all, the sun is almost out, and Earth is no longer habitable, so the situation on Mars must be even worse.

What he really valued was the technology of Starship!

Given the current state of the sun, it could reach the end of its life at any time, taking its satellites, including Earth, with it.

Given humanity's current capabilities, it's likely that even in ten thousand years we won't be able to withstand a disaster of this magnitude.

Most importantly, such a disaster could happen at any time, and Chen Yu didn't want to spend every day in fear.

Humanity must venture into deep space! Escape the solar system!

If we master the Starship technology, we can avoid many detours in the future.

Moreover, relying solely on Earth's resources is far from sufficient to achieve interstellar migration. Developing more sophisticated starships would allow for the mining of rare resources among planets, providing an energy foundation for interstellar migration.

All of this seems like a pipe dream now, since Chen Yu's Tianyu Base is still basically "poor and blank," and even basic production has not yet been restored, so talking about interstellar migration is simply unrealistic.

But people should always have dreams, what if they come true?

Moreover, Chen Yu was confident that as long as things went smoothly, his Tianyu Base would flourish sooner or later.

There is absolutely no problem in establishing it as a modern base.

As Chen Yu pondered this, he carefully examined the starship.

At this moment, his only worry was that the starship was so badly damaged that he didn't know if it still had any research value.

He doesn't understand this area either.

He originally intended to store it directly in the other-dimensional space and have some professionals evaluate it when he returned to the Tianyu base in the future. However, a large part of it had already been buried in the permafrost, and forcibly taking it would likely cause secondary damage.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and saw several scratches on the top of the hull, which looked like a line of small characters. Judging from the marks, they must have been carved after the crash.

When Chen Yu got closer, he saw that it read: "Wang Er was here and captured a foreigner."

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu's eyes widened in shock. There were actually people on this starship? And they were alive?

Chen Yu felt his heart race. If it were a living person, it would definitely be more valuable for research than this dilapidated starship. After all, the person who could ride in the starship must be someone extraordinary, and might even be the engineer of this starship.

Although this person has been taken away, in such an extreme environment, it is likely that the place where the person called "Wang Er" lived was not far from here.

Thinking of this, he quickly retrieved a reconnaissance drone from the other dimension.

It was lifted into the sky and flew towards the vast snowfield.

Soon, Chen Yu noticed something amiss. About 5 or 6 kilometers ahead, in a mountain hollow, he could vaguely see some signs of activity and a faint heat source signal.

Wisps of smoke rose slowly from the ground into the air.

Chen Yu could tell that it must be a small mountain village.

Wang Er, who kidnapped the foreigner, is very likely in that mountain village!

With that in mind, Chen Yu decided to go and see for himself.

Immediately, he released the snow that he had just stored in the other-dimensional space and covered the new boat again.

Then, they climbed out of the snow pit, started the snowmobile, and quickly returned to the RV.

After all, it is a village of survivors. Where there are people, there is a world of its own. Perhaps the villagers are usually simple and honest, but in this extremely cold and apocalyptic environment, the complexities of human nature are often magnified infinitely.

Therefore, Chen Yu did not intend to venture out alone.

Of course, he didn't need to be too cautious about such a small place.

So he directly ordered Xiao Yang to drive the sled caravan around the ravine and head directly towards the mountain village.

Half an hour later, the RV passed through a low snow-capped mountain and finally arrived at the valley where the mountain village was located.

Hearing the commotion, several households at the village entrance quickly came out with various farm tools to check the situation.

Everyone was astonished when they saw this huge luxury sled caravan.

"Fellow villagers, I'd like to ask you about someone," Chen Yu said, poking his head out with a friendly expression.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged man, wearing a heavy animal skin coat and with a weathered face, looked at the suddenly appearing behemoth with a wary yet curious expression.

"Is there a man named 'Wang Er' in your village?" Chen Yu asked.

Upon hearing the name "Wang Er," the middle-aged man frowned almost imperceptibly, but quickly concealed it, forcing a smile and saying, "I don't know him. Young man, you've probably come to the wrong place. We don't have anyone here. You'd better look somewhere else."

Chen Yu noticed the subtle change in the man's expression and was delighted. It seemed that they had indeed found the right place.

However, he didn't show it. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "Fellow villager, don't be so quick to deny it. We mean no harm. We really have urgent business with him. How about this, if any of you can tell me where Wang Er is, I'm willing to give you 20 jin of rice as a token of my gratitude."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, his expression somewhat strange. He shook his head and said, "Young man, you should leave now. Our village doesn't welcome outsiders. And let me tell you clearly, there is no one named 'Wang Er' in our village, nor have I ever heard of such a person nearby."

"Hehe, it seems I was too stingy. How about this, 30 catties of rice and 2 catties of pork, as long as you can provide me with information about 'Wang Er,' all of these things are yours," Chen Yu said generously.

A young man behind the middle-aged man, his face flushed red as if he had been greatly insulted, stepped forward and sneered, "30 catties of rice and 2 catties of pork, what a generous offer!"

Chen Yu was taken aback upon hearing this. He naturally understood the sarcasm in the young man's words. Was he complaining that it wasn't enough?

30 jin of rice is enough for an adult to eat for a month, and meat is an extremely luxurious food. How can you still think it's not enough?

Before Chen Yu could explain anything, the young man suddenly brandished a hoe and shouted angrily, "Didn't you hear what my second uncle said? Get out of here!"
