"drop!"
A faint notification sounded from the side.
Lu Yongchang withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the holographic projection beside him.
It was information sent back by the probes sent to the lost planet.
The probes dispatched by the fleet have now successfully entered the atmosphere of the lost planet and are attempting to land on this lucky planet.
As for the basic data of the lost star, it had already been presented in the holographic projection, but Lu Yongchang was previously attracted by the black hole data and did not pay attention to the information transmitted back by the detector.
But now, looking at the data before him, his eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.
【Weight: 2.16M⊕】
Earth's surface gravity: 1.49g
Atmospheric composition: Nitrogen 62.3%, Oxygen 31.9%...
Land area: 67.8%, Ocean area: 32.3%.
[...]
This is a habitable planet!
This was the first thought that came to Lü Yongchang's mind.
If the habitability of Dawn Star is 80%, then the habitability of this lost star may reach 90%, or even higher!
It's so lucky!
This was the second thought that came to Lü Yongchang's mind!
Currently, its distance from the black hole is absolutely perfect!
The light and heat generated by the friction of the material within the accretion disk provide it with just the right amount of energy!
With the help of a high-definition camera, Lü Yongchang and others were able to see the appearance of the surface of the Lost Star.
A forest, an incredibly dense forest!
In the footage, apart from the ocean areas, almost all the land is covered by lush forests!
The greenery is quite uniform across most of the land, except for one place—the Arctic of Lost Star.
Compared to other regions, the greenery in the Arctic region appears exceptionally lush.
At the same time, the Arctic region is also closer to the black hole's accretion disk.
It was this scene that made a faint sense of doubt rise in Lü Yongchang's eyes.
This is near a black hole!
The accretion disk provides light and heat to the lost star while also releasing extremely powerful radiation.
Lu Yongchang glanced at the data transmitted back by the black hole exploration network next to him, a hint of understanding in his eyes, but then a deeper doubt.
The Lost Star maintains the same angular velocity as the accretion disk and keeps a good distance from it, thus remaining in a region of weak radiation.
This may have created a more suitable environment for life.
But... weakness is relative, and this is a black hole!
This dose of radiation is fatal to ordinary life!
I have no idea how life on this planet has survived...
Lu Yongchang shook his head in confusion and asked in a low voice, "Zero, have you detected any electromagnetic signals?"
This is something he has always been worried about.
Since there are such abundant plants on this planet, there is a high probability that other life forms exist, and it is even possible that an advanced civilization may have arisen there!
"No abnormal electromagnetic wave signals have been detected so far."
"This planet is very quiet."
Zero's report did not reassure Lü Yongchang; instead, it cast an inexplicable shadow over his heart.
Quiet?
Sometimes, silence is the biggest problem!
"Oxygen content of 31.9%!"
Mao Zhengzhi's deliberately lowered exclamation came from the side: "So high?!"
"And considering that its surface gravity is only 1.5g..."
"The creature on that is probably quite large!"
Mao Zhengzhi's words reminded Lü Yongchang, who was immersed in various data.
He instantly thought of the large creature born from Proxima Centauri b—Magna.
The oxygen content of Proxima Centauri b is far lower than that of this lost star!
Yet, such a colossal creature was still born.
Earth, not even considering the ancient dinosaur era, but just in modern times, has an oxygen content of only 21%, and the oceans also have super-giant creatures like the blue whale!
What kind of life could exist on this planet with relatively low gravity and abundant oxygen?
Lü Yongchang shivered slightly.
"Zero, terminate login process!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he shouted, "Keep the probe hovering and survey the entire planet's surface from high altitude!"
"receive."
...
Lost Star.
The dense atmosphere was filled with a humid atmosphere.
A massive arthropod struggled to raise its head and look up at the sky dotted with wispy clouds.
An enormous, disc-shaped object covered the entire sky.
It vaguely remembered that the sky wasn't like this before.
At that time, there was only a round sphere of light in the sky.
It's unclear when exactly, but the sphere of light disappeared, and in its place appeared this dazzling, disc-shaped object.
It didn't know what had happened, only that the disc-shaped object was still emitting light and heat, and hadn't brought much change to its life.
This disc-shaped object can even provide it with a more comfortable "sunbathing" experience.
It stared blankly at the glowing disc in the sky, and subconsciously moved its mouthparts covered with tiny, sharp teeth.
It thought of a type of food it had once eaten, which looked very much like a disc in the sky.
The intoxicating flavor slowly spread through its mind.
Its brain capacity is not large, and being able to remember these things is already its limit.
Just as it was about to lower its head again to search for this delicious food, a strange change occurred.
It stared blankly at the countless fiery "shooting stars" streaking across the sky, trying to understand the essence of these "shooting stars" with its limited brain capacity.
Suddenly, these "meteors" emitted a blinding light!
It subconsciously squinted its six pairs of small eyes.
But the next moment, feeling the comfortable sensation all around it, like basking in the sun, it let out a soft hum.
"Rustle, rustle..."
A slight tremor came from the side.
The sense of euphoria in its eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a deep-seated terror that filled its mind.
It paid no attention to the scenery in the sky, nor did it care about the comfort brought to it by those small, glowing objects. It moved its hundreds of thin legs and ran into the distance.
After the arthropod disappeared into the distance, the tall bushes behind it trembled slightly.
A tree root, which had been raised high at some unknown time, slowly drooped to the ground.
Then, a strange fluctuation emanated from underground and spread outwards.
A few seconds later.
"Chirp!!!"
A scream came from afar.
The arthropod strained to open its six pairs of small, gradually dimming eyes as it looked at the "fireballs" hovering in the sky.
Behind the "fireball" was an incomparably dazzling disc that covered the entire sky.
The disc rotated slowly, as if foreshadowing something.
The gradually deactivated brain seemed to sense something, prompting it to emit a series of terrified sounds.
But the sound suddenly disappeared the next moment.
With a soft rustling sound, its massive body gradually disappeared into the lush forest.
The forest returned to silence once more.
