The calculation process in holographic projection is extremely complex.
However, with Lü Yongchang deliberately slowing down the derivation speed, most of the academicians present were able to keep up with his derivation progress.
He Bilin frowned, staring at the last string of numbers on the projection. He subconsciously opened a holographic projection and began to calculate.
"No need to calculate it."
Lu Yongchang glanced at the formulas and numbers on the projection and quietly interrupted He Bilin's calculations.
"In 330 years, or more precisely, 329 years and 10 months later, we will receive the data transmitted back by the probe that has reached the second target area."
He Bilin paused in his movements: "More than three hundred years..."
"Then these three hundred years..."
"Hibernate," Lü Yongchang said in a deep voice. "The entire fleet will hibernate, and the fleet will sail with minimal consumption."
"Until abnormal data is received."
"Yongchang, what if we don't receive any abnormal data?" Fang Xu asked, posing the worst-case scenario.
Lu Yongchang took a deep breath to calm himself down and said in an extremely helpless tone.
"The fleet will remain here for 450 years."
"450 years from now, Zero will lead the fleet to the nearest star system to replenish supplies."
After he finished speaking, the laboratory fell silent.
Each academician's face showed more or less a hint of resentment.
Does anyone else have any objections?
After waiting a moment and confirming that no one objected, Lü Yongchang gave the order to Ling.
"Zero, control half of the black hole detectors to proceed at full speed to the second target area."
"The remaining black hole detectors will maintain their current orbits and continue their observation missions."
Due to the time deceleration effect, Zero must deliberately adjust the information transmission speed; therefore, the black hole detector will need some time to receive the complete command.
After confirming that the command had begun to be executed, Lü Yongchang clapped his hands lightly and said with a forced, relaxed smile.
"Everyone, it's time for us to prepare for hibernation!"
"We might wake up one morning to find our detectors have found traces of gravitons!"
Lu Yongchang's words did not dispel the negative atmosphere in the laboratory.
He Bilin and the others wore bitter smiles.
Is it really possible for such an ideal situation to occur?
More likely, they will wake up to find themselves in a completely new star system.
Five years of waiting gradually eroded their once unwavering confidence.
Now, no one dares to confidently guarantee that traces of gravitons will definitely be found near a black hole!
Human strength has its limits.
Even a Type IV civilization can only look on in awe when faced with the most mysterious and powerful celestial bodies in the universe.
The entire human fleet can only pin its hopes on those few black hole detectors for now!
Just as everyone was unfastening the electromagnetic adsorption device and preparing to leave, Zero's synthesized electronic voice sounded again.
"Professor, Academician Meng Lu has sent a message."
...
"professor."
Meng Lu greeted Lü Yongchang with a smile as he rushed over.
"Did you successfully decipher it?" Lü Yongchang nodded, getting straight to the point without any pleasantries.
"Yes!"
At this point, Meng Lu became excited and gestured, "Professor, why don't you take a look at that sapling first?"
The news of the research's great success briefly dispelled the worry on Lü Yongchang's brow. He smiled gently and followed Meng Lu toward the biology lab.
As he walked, his pace slowed down.
For the first time ever, a look of utter astonishment appeared on his usually composed face.
"this……"
He stood still, staring blankly at the scene inside the transparent aluminum curtain wall.
A thick tree trunk with deep grooves on its surface.
“Professor, the saplings are growing very fast. The biological laboratory started renovation and expansion work in the second year.” Meng Lu noticed that Lü Yongchang had stopped and immediately explained with a smile, “It’s normal that you’ve been studying black hole data and are not aware of the research progress here.”
Lü Yongchang gave a bitter smile and remained silent.
He took another step and walked towards the transparent aluminum curtain wall.
As he got closer, the entire view inside the curtain wall gradually came into his view.
It was a spherical space with a diameter of two to three hundred meters.
On the inner walls of the space hung machines that generated radiation.
Inside the spherical space, illuminated by stellar spectrum lamps, a giant tree, hundreds of meters tall, is growing vigorously.
The lush green leaves swayed gently in the artificial breeze.
The camera slowly pans downwards.
The bottom area of the spherical space is filled with soil from the lost star.
Thick, brown tree roots intertwined in the soil.
Because there wasn't much soil, some of the shallow tree roots were directly exposed outside the soil. Under the illumination of the stellar spectrum lamp, they slowly wriggled, as if searching for the most comfortable spot.
What truly surprised Lü Yongchang was not these strange scenes.
He opened his mouth slightly, staring in surprise at the research robots moving freely around the tree roots: "Won't these tree roots attack the robots?"
Upon hearing Lü Yongchang's question, Meng Lu replied meaningfully:
"They will indeed attack at first."
"But as the exploration and landing operations on the Lost Star become more frequent, it will no longer attack the robots."
Lü Yongchang was stunned and stood there.
For a moment, he felt like his brain's CPU had crashed.
"Wait, wait a minute, say it again?"
"What does this have to do with the exploration and landing operation on the Lost Planet?"
Meng Lu smiled and pointed to the control panel next to her.
"Professor, this relates to our research findings."
"Please come with me, Academician Mao and I will answer all your questions."
Lu Yongchang turned his head with a suspicious look and glanced at the scene inside the biology laboratory.
That one glance completely shocked him.
A scientific research robot was seen holding a small gamma ray gun in its hand, and around it were countless thick tree roots that were slowly "dancing"!
This fantastical scene left him stunned once again.
"professor!"
"You've finally arrived!"
The familiar voice approached from afar, gradually bringing Lü Yongchang back to his senses.
But his gaze still involuntarily drifted toward the research robots and tree roots.
"If you don't come soon, we're all ready to start our first time..."
"Ahem!" Meng Lu coughed lightly, interrupting Mao Zhengzhi's words.
The joyful expression on Mao Zhengzhi's face gradually disappeared. He first glanced at Meng Lu in surprise, and then at the shocked and confused expression on Lü Yongchang's face.
He suddenly realized and lowered his voice to ask Meng Lu, "You haven't told Professor Lü about that yet?"
Upon seeing Meng Lu nod, Mao Zhengzhi immediately revealed a strange smile.
