Such a scene.
Let alone Lü Yongchang,
Even Mao Zhengzhi, who initially looked disgusted, was now staring intently at the holographic projection in front of him.
"How was it? Did I not disappoint you?" Lu Yongchang asked softly with a smile.
Mao Zhengzhi stared blankly at the holographic image before him, muttering to himself, "No, nothing..."
"Professor," Zero's voice rang out again, "the probe bound for the satellite is about to begin its landing."
Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang glanced at Mao Zhengzhi beside him with a half-smile and chuckled softly.
"Academician Mao, why don't you go back and think about the details of the research?"
Academician Mao's expression immediately fell, and he said with a wry smile, "Professor, please don't tease me."
"Now that things have come to this, who wouldn't want to see what the satellite looks like!"
Lü Yongchang laughed loudly and waved his hand in the air: "Zero, send over the detector images."
The moment the words were spoken, the holographic images in front of the two of them switched instantly.
A planet with a shimmering yellow surface appeared before the two of them.
"Huh?"
With just one glance, Lü Yongchang let out a soft gasp of surprise.
"A river?" Mao Zhengzhi, standing beside Lü Yongchang, voiced his doubts. "There are traces of a river on this satellite?"
Lu Yongchang's eyes were full of surprise: "It's not just rivers."
"Look closely, there are even active volcanoes beside those dried-up riverbeds!"
"The core of this planet hasn't even completely cooled down yet!"
Mao Zhengzhi looked carefully in the direction Lü Yongchang was pointing.
really!
On this vast planet, a few scattered little red dots are visible!
A satellite whose core has not yet cooled!
"pity."
Lu Yongchang suddenly shook his head and sighed softly.
"Hmm? What a pity?" Mao Zhengzhi turned his head and cast a surprised look at Lü Yongchang beside him.
What's there to regret?
The Earth's core has not yet cooled, meaning that this planet may have a weak magnetic field.
In any case, it should be a good thing for humanity!
Lu Yongchang gestured to the data beside him with his eyes and said softly, "Perhaps because of the planet's mass, this planet did not retain much atmosphere."
"Spectroscopic analysis shows that there is an extremely thin layer of atmosphere on its surface."
"Similar to super-Earths, the atmosphere is mainly composed of nitrogen and carbon dioxide."
"Liquid water has probably completely disappeared..."
As he was speaking, Lü Yongchang suddenly paused for a moment.
"This...this is Mars in prehistoric times, before its core had completely cooled down?!"
Just as Mao Zhengzhi was wondering, Lü Yongchang's exclamation came from the side!
According to the initial simulation results, as the core gradually cooled, the liquid water and atmosphere on the surface of Mars gradually dissipated into the vast universe.
Ultimately, it gradually transformed from a planet teeming with primitive life into that desolate planet.
Isn't this supermoon right in the middle of that phase?!
Unlike Mars, its core has not yet fully cooled.
They are similar in diameter, similar in size, and even their ground structure is remarkably similar!
However, Mars is a planet belonging to the solar system.
The supermoon in front of us is a satellite of a super-Earth.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mao Zhengzhi came to his senses.
A deep joy immediately shone in his eyes!
In just a few seconds, this desolate star system became much more pleasing to the eye!
Lü Yongchang's emotions were also stirred!
This discovery, though it may not bring any substantial benefits to humanity.
But without a doubt,
Being on a foreign planet, with a satellite that looks just like Mars overhead, can bring a little hope to countless people!
In the vast universe, it is this hope that supports human civilization as it struggles on and strives to move forward with all its might!
"Land! Land quickly!"
Lu Yongchang couldn't wait to issue the landing order.
Perhaps sensing the urgency in Lü Yongchang's words, Zero didn't waste any words and directly controlled the probe to "dive" towards the surface!
The image gradually became clear.
Craters, plains, hills, mountain ranges...
As the distance to the ground increases, the images in the holographic projection become clearer.
Irregular reddish-brown patterns are distributed on the dim yellow ground.
According to the data transmitted back by the probe, the main component of these reddish-brown patterns is iron oxide, just like on Mars!
The probe slowly descended to the top of a mountain range.
Before the camera could even be adjusted to the correct angle, atmospheric composition data appeared before Lü Yongchang's eyes.
His gaze quickly skipped over the first two major components and landed on an extremely small number of data points.
Oxygen: 0.03%
It's settled.
The presence of iron oxide minerals, coupled with the extremely low amount of oxygen.
Lü Yongchang even suspects that this supermoon was "imitated" from Mars!
The camera angle has been calibrated.
Clear video footage appeared before Lü Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi via long-range communication devices with almost no delay.
Pale brown soil, a dark blue sky, undulating terrain, and the bright light of the dominant star...
"I plan to recreate the Mars base on this site."
Lu Yongchang stared intently at the holographic projection in front of him and said softly, "All the blueprints are in the database. It won't take long for us to rebuild a Martian city."
Mao Zhengzhi took a deep breath.
Then,
He nodded excitedly!
"good!"
"Once it's finished, I'd like to go up there and rest for a couple of days."
...
The initial exploration has concluded.
Next, these probes will release a large number of small exploration drones to conduct preliminary exploration and modeling of the two planets.
This was a long and boring time.
Therefore, after saying goodbye to Lü Yongchang, Mao Zhengzhi turned and left the command center.
His next task was very important.
Whether humans can live on this super-Earth for an extended period of time depends largely on the progress of his scientific research projects!
After seeing Mao Zhengzhi off, Lü Yongchang waved to turn off the holographic image in front of him and turned to look out the porthole.
At this moment, the human fleet had already passed the outermost planet of Gliese 555 and was heading straight for the super-Earth!
Soon, he will witness firsthand the Mars-like satellite and the plus-sized super-Earth!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and said in a deep voice.
"Zero, have Zhu Ziping wait for me in Lab One."
"receive."
Lu Yongchang took a deep look at the endless dark starry sky outside the porthole, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the command center.
Besides genetic modification, humans need a "second leg" to walk.
