As soon as Cao Liangcai stepped out of the laboratory, he saw Lü Yongchang, who looked gloomy and frowned as he stared at the holographic projection.
"Professor Lü?"
Cao Liangcai called out softly.
Lü Yongchang withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Cao Liangcai.
"Old Cao."
Lu Yongchang's voice was extremely heavy: "This is a big problem."
Cao Liangcai's cheek muscles twitched violently twice, and his lips trembled as he said, "Professor?"
"Didn't you just say..."
Lü Yongchang slowly shook his head.
"That was just to reassure people."
"We just won the war, and everyone finally has a glimmer of hope. If something else goes wrong, I'm afraid..."
Cao Liangcai understood.
Lü Yongchang continued, "Currently, Ross 154's condition is very similar to that of the Sun and Proxima Centauri."
"It feels like something is absorbing a lot of energy."
"The chromosphere therefore experienced violent fluctuations, resulting in an extremely unusual burst of brilliance."
"Then... can we change to another star system?" Cao Liangcai asked in a low voice.
Lü Yongchang shook his head.
"Ross 154 is the most suitable star system for human development within fifteen light-years."
He added, "Given our sailing capabilities, it is also our only option."
Cao Liangcai's face immediately turned ugly.
"I called you out mainly for one thing."
Lu Yongchang lowered his voice and said, "Build two sets of interstellar probes."
Cao Liangcai was stunned for a moment: "Two groups?"
Is it to increase the success rate?
He couldn't quite understand Lü Yongchang's actions.
No, that's not true.
Lü Yongchang quickly shook his head: "One of them doesn't need too many detection functions."
"It will be sent to the solar system to serve as an information relay station."
"We can no longer reveal our coordinates."
"If Ross 154 really has an advanced civilization, let it go find us in the solar system."
Cao Liangcai suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, leave it to me."
"The Proxima Centauri civilization has very good interstellar probe manufacturing technology."
"I estimate that the design drawings will be completed soon."
After a moment's thought, Lü Yongchang added, "That's right."
"Put nuclear torpedoes in every detector."
"In case of an accident, the self-destruct program will be activated immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yongchang heard a commotion coming from inside the laboratory through the wall.
If he wasn't mistaken, it was the sound of cheers.
He frowned.
"what happens?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the holographic image beside him.
His pupils constricted sharply when he saw the data begin to decline steadily.
"this……"
Could it be that he just blurted it out and it actually came true?
Lü Yongchang quickly turned around and walked towards the laboratory door.
"professor?"
Cao Liangcai's voice carried a hint of ease: "Do we still need to build the interstellar probe?"
Lu Yongchang paused for a moment: "Of course."
“We need to have a full understanding of the Ross 154 star system.”
...
The laboratory doors slowly opened.
Fang Xu was still the first person to discover Lü Yongchang.
His face was beaming with joy as he shouted, "Yongchang!"
You were right!
"Ross 154 has begun recovery!"
Lu Yongchang stared incredulously at the steadily declining curve in the holographic projection.
All around, there was cheering and celebration.
But his heart was filled with coldness.
This is so unusual!
His intuition told him that things were definitely not that simple.
"Yongchang?" Fang Xu noticed Lü Yongchang's unusually solemn expression, quickly walked to his side, and whispered, "Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing Fang Xu's voice, his eyes flickered slightly: "Not yet."
"Let's first see how the data changes."
"I always felt that things wouldn't be that simple."
...
Half an hour later.
Looking at the data that had returned to normal, Lü Yongchang let out a long sigh of relief.
He stared in bewilderment at the holographic projection directly in front of him, which displayed gently fluctuating detection data.
Was he really mistaken?
But the data fluctuation pattern just now...
Lu Yongchang suppressed his confusion and walked towards Cao Liangcai, who was standing to the side.
"Old Cao."
"The task of building the interplanetary probe is the top priority."
"Everything else can be put aside for now."
Cao Liangcai nodded silently.
After giving his explanation, Lü Yongchang still felt somewhat uneasy.
"Zero, increase the number of radio telescope arrays."
"Conduct round-the-clock surveillance on Ross 154, and report to me immediately if any anomalies are detected."
Zero responded quickly: "Okay, Professor."
...
Time passed day by day.
A new radio telescope array was also built and pointed at the distant Ross 154.
Under Zero's control, countless radio and optical telescopes are constantly receiving information from 8.24 light-years away.
Meanwhile, the two interplanetary probes also entered the manufacturing phase.
Influenced by the manufacturing technology of the Proxima Centauri civilization, these two interstellar probes were also made into spheres.
The diameter of a single detector reaches 10 meters.
Each group of detectors consists of five individual detectors.
These five detectors share the same structure and the same function—to conduct close-up observations and detections of stars.
At the same time, they can also take the opportunity to probe the planetary conditions within the Ross 154 star system.
