Chapter 16 Exploration

  Every plant and tree is a treasure, and every insect and every thing is an opportunity. It is not an exaggeration to describe the value of this living planet to Blue Star.

   After venting his emotions, Lu Yu calmed down slightly, and walked slowly back to the Silver Star while carefully observing his feet.

  This natural grassland on the hillside is an excellent biological observation point, and it is enough to collect biological samples from here in the early stage.

   Lu Yu looked at the countdown displayed on the transparent mask of the space suit in front of him.

  【01:55:26】

   This is the time when the spacesuit can still function. After the countdown is over, it will cool down for eight hours. At that time, Lu Yu can only return to the cockpit and wait for its restart.

  No way, the black technology exchanged for 5 points has to be set somewhat restrictively.

   Lu Yu chose a low alien plant near the Silver Star. It has the characteristics of a fern, but it looks more like a grass.

   Lu Yu uprooted it, but the soft black soil failed to protect its roots from Lu Yu's black hands.

  Showed this plant carefully on the phone camera on his chest, then peeled off its skin bit by bit, and recorded its internal structure. After Lu Yu returned to the cockpit, the video was transmitted to the scientists of the motherland.

  Under limited conditions, this crude and simple observation method can only be used.

   And thanks to this space suit, otherwise the simple internal structure of the plant would not have been recorded in the cockpit.

   As for the existence of chloroplasts in alien plants, whether they have characteristics such as seeds, mosses or ferns, it depends on the level of biologists in the motherland.

   Lu Yu casually threw aside a recorded alien plant, and straightened the phone in his jacket pocket again.

   This mobile phone that left Blue Star with him is the only way for Lu Yu to get in touch with Blue Star now.

   It is said that in order to receive the signal of this mobile phone, the country even built a base station for this mobile phone number. So much so that during the five months of drifting, Lu Yu really didn't receive another text message.

   "This mobile phone is an industrial product manufactured under Bluestar's standard gravity conditions. I just hope that there will be no problems under other gravity conditions."

   "This mobile phone has been used for nearly two years. Who knows how long I will be drifting in the universe? Maybe after I earn points this time, I should consider replacing it with a more reliable communication device."

   While thinking about how to plan the use of points, Lu Yu was busy for nearly an hour and a half. Finally, Lu Yu was ready to end this landing and return to the cockpit.

   It was just a few steps away. As soon as Lu Yu turned around, he saw the Silver Star very close at hand.

  When he was on Mars, Zhu Rong took photos of the Silver Star, and it was only through Blue Star that Lu Yu realized how gorgeous the space jumping machine he was on had.

   But the photos are still not as shocking as what he saw with his own eyes. In the eyes of Lu Yu, who was about to return to the cockpit, the Silver Star just stayed quietly on the grass, like a drop of mercury dripping on the green silk.

  Its smooth surface does not refract the strong sunlight, but instead seems to lock the light, allowing the light to turn into a shining brilliance and flow on the surface.

   This may be the most beautiful handicraft that Lu Yu has seen in his life, and it is a bit embarrassing to think that he left the blue star and traveled countless light years on it, wandering in the universe.

  Throwing away this slightly hypocritical emotion, Lu Yu passed through the space membrane smoothly in a space suit.

  The moment he entered the small cockpit, the space suit covering Lu Yu's whole body was detached from his body, folded up by itself, and began to disinfect itself while entering the cooling time.

   It can only be said that even the black technology that was exchanged for only 5 points is really black technology, directly omitting the barometric chamber and disinfection procedures.

   Returning to the narrow cockpit, Lu Yu was still not used to it, but fortunately, after regaining the signal, Lu Yu was still busy transmitting observation videos, answering many questions from the biology experts, and started to act in order to earn points.

  Among such busy schedules, Lu Yu unknowingly came to this living planet for a week.

  After observing during this period, the basic situation of this planet has been observed and summarized almost.

   Its volume is estimated to be about 1.3 times larger than Blue Star by building a 3D model, and it takes 28 hours to make a full circle of autobiography. At the same time, the planet's gravity is about 1.1 times that of the earth. For those with weaker bodies, if they suddenly change from the environment of the blue star to such an environment, they will feel heavy, dizzy, and physically exhausted.

   At this time, the effect of Lu Yu's usual exercise was reflected, at least not so weak in this planetary environment.

   This planet has two satellites. On a clear night, you can see the double moon across the sky. This is a view that Blue Star can never see.

   In addition, the coverage rate of green plants on this planet is extremely high. Plants have obvious traces of cell walls and nuclei. Plants similar to ferns occupy the mainstream of the observed ecological circle.

  After many days of observation, Lu Yu failed to find the trail cloud from the sky, nor could he find any civilization creations. This is most likely a planet that has not yet bred civilization.

Judging from the results of the current detections, this is a top-quality colonial planet that humans have dreamed of. There is no need for environmental modification at all. The large-scale existence of green plants means that the oxygen content in the atmosphere will not be too low, and it has not yet been recovered. The birth of a civilized race creates moral choices.

   But besides how far it is from Blue Star, there is another shortcoming!

  ...

  A week passed, and Lu Yu was no longer satisfied with the plants on the grass and the tiny creatures like ants and insects.

  A dozen meters away from the Silver Star, there is a simple trap made of stone slabs and branches, and some kind of plant and blocks are placed in the trap as bait.

  A translucent animal about the size of a fox crawled out of the bushes at the edge of the grass furtively. It looked like a slime in a very human fantasy.

   This is a unique creature on this planet, and it is also the target of Lu Yu's hunting!

   Dissecting a creature that doesn't exist on Blue Star, it must become a classic of biology, right?

  However, when it was already close to the trap, it shook for a while!

  Earthquake makes this simple trap trigger itself directly.

"Snapped!"

  The slate is pressed down to crush the roots of the plants.

   The unique creature that was about to fall into Lu Yu's trap immediately sprayed liquid from its body in fright, and quickly escaped with the help of the reaction force.

   Lu Yu felt extremely helpless watching the prey that was about to fly away just like that. This was the 21st earthquake since he came to this planet.

  Observing from the cockpit, one can clearly see the depths of the distant mountains, a black smoke billowing straight into the sky.

  The earthquake just now may be related to this volcanic eruption.

   Yes, the disadvantage of this planet is that its crustal movement is too active!
