Chapter 518 (1/2)

This star is the third star of the Alpha Centauri triad, only about 4.3 light-years away from the blue star.

At this time, it has been a full year since the guild ship was salvaged.

In one year, man planted the flag of the Republic on the surface of all planets in the solar system!

Any planet or satellite that can effectively receive sunlight has been visited by colonial spacecraft of the Republic.

Since all the planets that can be colonized in the solar system have been colonized by human beings, the nearest star to the solar system has become the target of the scientists of the Republic of China.

At present, it has been proved that a solid planet near the neighboring star will become the next human settlement destination.

This planet, named the second home by Tang, has the size of a blue star. Although it is a little closer than its neighbor, there may still be life!

Two years ago, the Republic launched an unmanned exploration spacecraft to the second home, cruising in dark space and reaching the planet a year ago.

According to the information sent back by the exploration spacecraft, abnormal traces of biological activity, including claw marks left by some animals, have been found in some canyons of the second home.

But no complex organisms have been found on the planet's hot surface except for a few microbes and bacteria.

Even so, the planet is much more livable than mercury, Venus.

Finally, the Republic could not help but launch its first manned exploration ship to the second home.

After all, this is the first time that human beings have left the solar system without relying on the transmission station. The colonists who dare not throw a boat directly in the past have lived and died. We can only launch an exploration ship with a hundred people on board to explore and make sure there is no big problem before colonizing.

After 159 days of long voyage, the exploration ship finally reached the orbit of the second homeland.

As a spaceship designed by the Republic of China to explore the outer galaxies of the solar system, the 400 meter long exploration ship carries a complete set of industrial systems that can be independently developed. In case of any accident, the crew can also make on-site parts for repair.

The design crew of the whole spacecraft is 125, and the actual carrying capacity is 100, including 20 guards, 30 researchers and 50 engineers and security personnel.

When the spacecraft remained stable, dozens of drones were launched into the planet's atmosphere.

Very close to the information returned by the first unmanned exploration ship, no complex organisms were found on the planet's surface, with only a few microbes in the shade.

”Ground safety! Launch the landing ship As the siren sounded, six small landing craft with a length of only 50 meters, which were adsorbed under the exploration ship, were dropped into the atmosphere of second home.

Looking at the flickering fire outside the window, Tang Shizhe idly played his own small game in armor to kill time.

In this year, he has followed various colonial groups to all the planets and satellites in the solar system. The landing process of the spaceship has lost its attraction to him, and can not stimulate any reaction from him.

But the researchers around him were not like this. For the first time, the researchers who came to the outer world were a little excited to pick up the window edge and look at the desolate mountains outside the porthole.

”Change to guard formation! The first unmanned exploration ship just lost contact with us! ” All of a sudden, the voice of the left behind researchers in the exploration ship appeared on the team channel.

The landing ships that received the signal changed their flight paths one after another, protecting Tang Shizhe, a landing ship full of researchers, in the middle.
