The order has been issued.

Ling meticulously carried out the orders from Lü Yongchang.

For safety reasons, the probes scattered across the Lost Planet drove their antimatter engines to converge on several pre-designated landing sites.

The sky above the Lost Star, which had been calm for countless years, suddenly revealed countless dazzling rainbows!

The light emanating from the black hole's accretion disk illuminated the chaotic yet orderly rainbow in the sky.

The high-energy gamma rays generated by the antimatter engine also surged like a tide, wave after wave, towards every corner of the Lost Star.

Under the impact of these high-energy gamma rays, this planet covered with forests underwent some extremely minor and unknown changes.

Even the probe, equipped with numerous advanced observation devices, failed to detect this small change during its high-speed flight.

As time passed, the originally disordered leaves slowly adjusted their orientation—they turned their front surfaces toward the long rainbows in the sky.

It's as if these trees are watching the tracks left by the probe!

This eerie scene didn't last long. As the rainbow in the sky slowly faded, the leaves of the trees returned to their original orientation.

...

Lost Star, Equatorial Region.

Above the A1 landing point, at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

Dozens of detectors adjusted their attitudes and then reduced the operating power of their antimatter engines.

As the light from the nozzles gradually dimmed, the height of these dozens of detectors also gradually decreased.

The land areas of the Lost Planet are covered by dense forests, which made the landing of the probe somewhat difficult.

Initially, Lü Yongchang planned to use a "violent landing" approach, which involved clearing a safe landing area with laser weapons and high-powered bombs.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by Mao Zhengzhi.

As an academician of biology, he couldn't bear to see such a magical ecosystem destroyed.

Of course, the most important reason is that humans currently do not know the growth cycle and cultivation methods of these trees.

If its growth cycle is too long or its cultivation is too difficult, the forests on Lost Star will basically become a non-renewable resource.

Even though the number of trees on this planet is enormous, once it is determined that it has good radiation resistance, the demand from the human fleet will not be insignificant.

Therefore, in order to preserve these precious resources as much as possible, the probe abandoned its original landing plan and instead chose to land on the lost planet through a gap in the tree canopy.

From high above, the forests on the surface of Lost Star are extremely lush and dense.

But once you get there, there are still plenty of gaps between the canopies of each tree, enough to allow a small detector to enter.

Inside the Earth-class laboratory, everyone gazed curiously at the images transmitted back by the probe, eager to witness the true face of this lost planet as soon as possible!

As for the data returned by the black hole detector?

Let the probe fly a little longer.

It will take them quite some time to cross the massive accretion disk and reach a region with a sufficiently high degree of spacetime distortion.

As the probe descended, the scenery inside the forest came into view.

"Huh?"

Mao Zhengzhi, who had been full of excitement, frowned and let out a soft "hmm".

"Something feels off..."

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he reached out and dragged over the 3D model next to him, marking several areas on it: "Zero, help me calculate the spacing between these tree canopies."

For Zero, this task is extremely simple.

As soon as he finished speaking, detailed data was presented to Mao Zhengzhi.

Looking at the numbers on the holographic model, the remaining excitement in his eyes vanished instantly!

"professor!"

He turned his head sharply to look at Lü Yongchang beside him: "There's something wrong with this forest!"

"No, I'm afraid it's not this forest!"

"It's the entire planet!"

...

“You mean…” Lu Yongchang looked thoughtfully at the constantly changing statistics in front of him, “this forest might have been planted by humans?”

Looking at the increasing number of data samples, he changed his tune, saying, "No, all the forests on this planet are planted by humans?"

“…Yes.” Mao Zhengzhi nodded somewhat hesitantly. “It sounds a bit unbelievable.”

"These trees vary in size, and their crowns also differ in size."

"Normally, it should be easy to see that tree canopies overlap."

“But so far, the spacing between all the tree canopies is basically the same.” A faint fear appeared in Mao Zhengzhi’s eyes. “Moreover, on this planet, except for the Arctic region, the vegetation density of all forests is basically the same.”

"There's one more thing..."

"Professor, there's only this one type of tree on this planet!"

"How could this situation have occurred without human intervention!"

Lu Yongchang's expression became slightly more serious than before.

He remained silent for a moment, offering no conclusion, and then said in a deep voice, "Continue logging in."

"No matter what, only by landing on this planet can we find out the truth behind it."

"If it was the work of another advanced civilization..."

Lü Yongchang did not continue speaking.

But everyone present understood the meaning behind his words, and their expressions dimmed.

Having just escaped from the jaws of a tiger, only to fall into the den of wolves?

While everyone was discussing, the probe successfully passed through the gaps between the tree canopies and crossed the final distance, "stepping" onto the surface of the Lost Star.
