362 New Human Beings (1/2)
Lu Zhiyu watched the scenes playing out from the control room. He could see the airships landing on the Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Venus. Most of them were controlled by exploratory robots that sent back pictures. However, some of them were controlled by astronauts. They walked on the planets with their astronaut suits.
Some of the astronauts were having a great time. They were excited to have reached the Moon and Mars. They were breathed heavily when talking to each other and their video footage was shaky.
There was also footage of spaceships observing the planets in the near distance. The ring of Uranus was visible in the footage, which was very different from Jupiter and Saturn's rings as it was dark and narrow.
It would be impossible to check every spot in the solar system, however, if Dark Mother Tree had really tainted this area, it would have been hard to miss. Lu Zhiyu also found it impossible that the power had spread here, otherwise the creatures on the earth would've been extinct.
At this moment, the Truth was on track toward Neptune, and it was about to leave the solar system.
Everything was normal, aside from when they were trying to get through the asteroids.
”We've checked every planet, but we didn't find any traces of living beings. Also, we didn't find any traces of pollution left by the Dark Mother Tree, either. However, we did find something strange!”
Gu Chaoran immediately showed some of the materials they had discovered to Lu Zhiyu. There some remains of spaceships among the asteroids.
The broken black spaceship was very eye-catching in the cold universe. It had been floating in the universe for years, hiding among the aerolites.
”Is this a spaceship left behind from the Atlantis civilization?”
”It shouldn't be. The styles are very different. Besides, after we retrieved the spaceship, we found that the technologies are also very different. It's a small, unmanned exploration vessel. There aren't any living beings in the spaceship, and it's completely operated by a computer.”
”This exploration ship doesn't have the ability to travel at light speed like the Truth. We speculate that it might enter the solar system following other larger spaceships. Of course, there's also the possibility that it comes from another star system close to us. You can check it out for yourself below deck if you want.”
Lu Zhiyu stayed silent for a while. Was it possible that a spaceship from another star system had entered the solar system? This was the first time Lu Zhiyu realized that this small solar system was actually much more interesting than he'd imagined.
”When will we leave the solar system?”
”When we finish exploring Neptune, the Truth will reach light speed and will travel at one point five times the light speed at its fastest. It'll take another five years for us to arrive at Alpha Centauri.”
Lu Zhiyu nodded and said, ”Sounds great. Let's begin our astral civilization plans!”
…
One tall being after another appeared in the nutrition cabin. They had human bodies, and there were both males and females among them.
Each of them was a relative of Lu Zhiyu. They inherited his powerful and mythical bloodline. He could feel the natural connection between himself and them.
”What… What should I call them?” Gu Chaoran could feel that his voice was trembling. Out of nowhere, he felt terrified by such beautiful creatures. Perhaps it was because of how they were made, or because they had the same kind of bodies as he did, or perhaps because they lived in glass jars filled with nutrition liquids.
As for other members, some of them were excited because they saw it as a miracle of creation. Some cheered for the birth of a new species. Others thought it was blasphemy to natural life, but those who thought so didn't dare express it in front of Lu Zhiyu.
”New human beings!”
”They're also human beings like us. They are new human beings who are designed to adapt to life in outer space.”
The new human beings created by Lu Zhiyu had some of the features of fairies. They could live for a thousand years, and they could photosynthesize. They could survive for a long time without eating and drinking. They had their main brain and a demi-brain, a demi-brain which was mythical and intelligent. It was the organ used to perform magic and sanctify organs. However, it was more difficult for them to breed and mature. The maturation and growth of mythical organs were related to mind power.
