One week later.
"Yongchang".
Fang Xu's voice was full of exhaustion: "The atmosphere of Dawn Star has basically stabilized, and we can begin the second phase of transformation."
Like Fang Xu, Lü Yongchang's face was also filled with a deep weariness.
During this week, every researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences worked through the night to ensure that the atmosphere of Dawn Star successfully entered a self-circulating and stable state.
Fortunately, their efforts paid off.
To date, the atmosphere of Dawn has successfully entered a stable self-circulating state.
A brand-new water cycle system has been successfully established.
Only now has the Dawn Star terraforming project completed its first step!
The next step is to modify the atmospheric composition of Dawn.
The modification method is also very simple.
"Prepare to launch Atmospheric Transformer One." Lu Yongchang rubbed his face, forcing himself to stay alert, before issuing the order.
"The deployment standards will be strictly implemented according to the plan."
...
A week later, the port gates of City One reopened.
This time, instead of drones, the Xuan Nu II aircraft appeared, arranged in neat rows.
A familiar voice came from the lead ship, the Mysterious Maiden II.
"Finally, we can leave the city!"
Hong Fan's distinctive voice echoed in the cockpit: "I need to go and take a good look at our new home!"
"Be serious."
Before Hong Fan could continue speaking, Bai Yixuan, sitting in the driver's seat, raised an eyebrow and interrupted him: "This isn't a trip for fun."
"If the atmospheric transformation plan goes wrong, not only me, but even Commander Zhao can't save you."
Upon hearing this, Hong Fan subconsciously pursed his lips.
But remembering Lü Yongchang's extremely serious attitude before he left, he straightened up, composed himself, and pressed a few buttons.
"The destination has been determined, and the flight route has been planned."
The ship's weak artificial intelligence system, AI One, announced in an electronically synthesized voice: "Acceleration is about to begin. Please fasten your seatbelts..."
...
Originally the A3 region of Dawn Star, now the new Pacific coastal region.
A black ship, the Xuan Nu II, traced a graceful curve and slowly hovered above the sea.
"Calling the command center."
"I have arrived at the target location and am ready to deploy Atmospheric Transformer 1 at any time."
Bai Yixuan said in a deep voice.
"Approved for deployment."
With virtually no delay, zero-delay electronic synthesized sound emanated from the radio communication device.
Upon hearing the instruction, Hong Fan, who was in charge of operating the projection device, pressed the virtual button on the holographic projection without hesitation.
"Atmospheric Transformer No. 1, dosage 1%".
The next second.
The cabin of the Xuan Nu II aircraft trembled slightly, and its belly hatch suddenly opened.
A light green substance cascaded down from the hatch, splashing up huge waves on the slightly rippling sea.
The so-called Atmosphere Modifier 1 is a genetically modified cyanobacterial-like organism from the Ross 154 star system.
After genetic modification, they not only retained their original extremely strong nitrogen-fixing ability, but also enhanced their photosynthetic and reproductive capabilities.
Ideally, the cyanobacteria released in this operation could cover all the waters on Dawn Star within a year.
To prevent it from growing excessively, Academician Mao Zhengzhi painstakingly added a "self-destruct gene" to its genome.
When the external oxygen content reaches a preset standard, these cyanobacteria-like organisms will immediately initiate a self-destruction process.
Within a week, all the cyanobacteria will die.
As for the "corpses" after death, they will become the first fertilizer on Dawn Star, creating a perfect growth environment for the subsequent Earth organisms to settle in.
It can be said that Atmosphere Changer 1 is a powerful tool for future human colonization of other planets.
However, among its many advantages, there is one undeniable drawback—it has extremely demanding requirements for the planetary environment.
First, the colonized planets would require a large amount of water resources.
The more water resources a planet has, the faster its atmosphere can be altered.
Secondly, as nitrogen-fixing organisms, they require a sufficient amount of nitrogen in the planet's atmosphere.
Of course, there must also be a certain amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; otherwise, these cyanobacteria-like organisms would lack the raw materials for photosynthesis and would not be able to produce oxygen out of thin air.
These rigid requirements significantly limit the size of its performance stage.
It was precisely because of this awareness that the project to improve Atmospheric Transformer 1 had already been approved long ago.
"Atmospheric Transformer No. 1 has been deployed." Bai Yixuan checked the warehouse inventory and reported again.
"Scanning algae density in the target water area, please wait..."
The moment the electronic synthesized sound of "Zero" rang out, the scanning device on the abdomen of the Xuan Nu II automatically turned on, continuously scanning the sea surface below.
A few seconds later.
"The algae density has reached the standard; add nutrients immediately."
"The distribution ratio has been calculated."
Hong Fan glanced at the holographic image in front of him and carefully adjusted the parameters of the projection device.
After checking several times, he reached out and pressed another virtual button.
"Nutritions have been successfully delivered." After confirming the successful delivery of nutrients via the ship's onboard camera, Bai Yixuan reported again.
"Confirmed." After a short wait, the synthesized voice sounded again.
"The deployment target in area A3-c008 has been achieved. Please proceed to area A3-c009 immediately to complete the deployment task."
