Chapter 427 Looks the Same!

A month later, Deep Space remained quietly in Auriga 4's synchronous orbit, keeping pace with the planet's rotation.

The engineers were busy and began to lay out the long and thin space elevators one by one.

Of course, people would not be stupid enough to park the Deep Space directly on the surface of the planet. Doing so would only cause the old spacecraft to collapse due to its own gravity.

The value of a "Deep Space" is hundreds of times the annual GDP of a low-level civilization. The large spaceship that was finally built cannot be turned into scrap metal. That would be too wasteful.

At this moment, Yu Yifeng and many engineers and scientists are discussing the next step in the seminar room.

"Although Deep Space is relatively old and will be decommissioned soon, it can still serve as a large space platform... Maintenance work still needs to be done well."

"It can accommodate various small spacecraft and act as an aircraft carrier flying in the sky. We estimate that we will develop here for a long time, and this space platform is indispensable."

What needs to be done now is to establish more industrial bases on the surface, and then gradually separate the "Deep Space" and "Noah" to lay the foundation for building a new generation of motherships in the future.

"...This has already been taken into consideration when designing before. Therefore, the related stripping work is not a big problem... However, this work cannot be started until the new mothership is mostly completed. We have to be ready to escape at any time. Ah. Safety is still the most important thing!" said a scientist.

Yu Yifeng also nodded with deep understanding.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Ding Yidong came on stage to talk about the new spacecraft designed by his research group in recent years.

"...We have designed a medium-sized transport spacecraft to collect gaseous fuel, and the model has entered the construction process. It can enter the shallow atmosphere of a gaseous planet and collect nuclear fuel, and it also has a high carrying capacity.

"I call it... the Flying Barrel! Let's take a look at the specific parameters and simulated aircraft models..."

During the nearly three hundred years of sailing, people were certainly not idle, but had done all kinds of preparatory work, and all kinds of robots and spaceships were ready for maintenance.

Faced with massive resources, the various robots in people's hands have long been impatient!

When I heard the name "Flying Wine Barrel", the venue immediately became lively. Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was so joyful. Professor Ding analyzed various parameter data amidst the noise.

"Professor Ding, is this your special taste?"

It's obvious that everyone's mood is very good and morale is high.

Yu Yifeng raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He carefully looked at the 3D simulation image on the computer and scratched it a few times with his fingers to observe the specific details.

The craft does look a bit like a cylindrical wine barrel, with four air-collecting sails that can be deployed. But such a rugged design makes sense, as it can maximize the internal volume and load more fuel.

Moreover, such a weird naming gave him a... rough feeling of the Age of Discovery.

"Magnificent and ambitious, yes, we will start a new journey here!"

Perhaps this is Professor Ding's intention... As the main person in charge, he still has his own naming rights.

This lively period passed quickly. After introducing this kind of spacecraft, Yu Yifeng stood up and asked again.

"So, what about our new generation mothership, what do you think it should be called?"

The project volume of the new generation mothership is many times that of other things combined, so people can't help but ignore it. Although the new mothership's horoscope has not yet been glimpsed, discussing it in advance can increase people's fighting spirit, so why not?

Faced with this problem, people are talking a lot.

This time there is no special consensus like the "Deep Space". There is a mess of "Diamond King", "Giant Turtle", and "Earth Empire"...

There are almost all kinds of names.

Yu Yifeng simply selected the names with the highest appeal, and then launched a referendum campaign to let the broad masses of people participate and make their own choices.

"Okay, as for the name of the new generation mothership, we will know it after the voting results come out! Let's adjourn the meeting if nothing else happens!"

This brief ordinary meeting ended quickly, and Yu Yifeng could not wait to rush to the observatory because he had just received important news: there were new results about the detection of Auriga 2.

There is nothing to say about industrial matters. It has been done so many times. Human beings are already familiar with it. Various safety procedures and industrial procedures have been perfected, and there are also relevant experts in charge.

"Everyone is very enthusiastic, it's great, it's great."

"Auriga 4" is a planet carefully selected by people. Its various indicators are very suitable for industry, and many excellent mineral veins have been discovered. Moreover, there is only a thin atmosphere on the surface of the planet, and the temperature is more than 200 degrees below zero all year round, and no trace of life has been found.

If everything is correct after a few more checks, you can basically start work.

"Professor Thomson, how are you? Are there any results?" Yu Yifeng came to the observatory, knocked on the door a few times, and got straight to the point.

In recent days, the observatory has been the most lively place. The object of people's observation is of course the "Auriga 2" full of life!

These natives may never have imagined that there is an interstellar civilization outside the starry sky, observing them silently and full of curiosity.

If the Seeder Civilization believes that this place can bring more benefits to people, then it is most likely "Auriga 2".

Astronomer Professor Thomson did not speak, but quietly turned out a report and handed it to Yu Yifeng.

He looked down and saw: "The atmospheric composition is as follows: nitrogen (v.014), oxygen (".126), argon (%0.634), water vapor (%0.45), carbon dioxide (%0.082)..."

"Gravity environment: 1.09 times the gravity of the earth..."

Seeing this series of data, Yu Yifeng was happy, and immediately shocked again.

A planet rich in oxygen, 22% oxygen content, which means that if the microbial environment can be solved, humans can even breathe the air normally!

But after the surprise, he immediately found the problem: the gravity environment and air humidity, etc., are too similar to the earth...

Similar... creepy, as if a planet was fabricated by imitation!

Almost 99% similar!

Such a planet, coupled with a similar living environment... can't help but make people secretly wonder about the ultimate intention of the Seeder civilization.

"What does it want humans to gain here?" Yu Yifeng thought silently.

"You know, we have observed a normally working artificial satellite... This shows that there should be an indigenous civilization here, and the technology is well developed." Professor Thomson said with a wry smile.

"Is that so?"

Facing low-level natives, it is not the first time anyway, so Yu Yifeng did not make a fuss: "Our artificial satellite has quietly disguised itself as a meteorite. It should be coming soon. What have you found?"

Dr. Roman, a biologist standing on the side, continued: "After some of our machines fell into the ocean, we observed some marine life, a bit like fish... Alas, it is carbonyl life, and there is no genetic material structure beyond the ordinary."

"It's very strange, why are all the lives we encounter like this, why are all lives generally carbonyl? Is it... also the result of an advanced civilization?" Dr. Roman was very puzzled.

These biologists really want to see what the unique silicon-based life or sulfur-based life... looks like.

Of course, there is an explanation for this consistency in appearance, and that is "convergent evolution." After all, the flat fish structure can swim fast enough and can better adapt to the marine environment. In people's imagination, all kinds of random alien creatures probably can't even swim, let alone survive in the ocean.

Yu Yifeng thought for a moment and said, "There is no silicon-based life... It seems that silicon-based life is still a minority in the universe. We still have too little knowledge... Perhaps among a million life planets, only one is silicon-based, so it is normal that we have not encountered it."

"And at present, it seems that there are not many branches in the technology tree... Perhaps only after reaching the upper level will there be a large number of branches, forming their own unique science."

Professor Thomson laughed and said, "It is undoubtedly difficult to find another set of basic theories and open up another technology tree... Like not developing modern science, but specializing in biotechnology, isn't this a fantasy..."

Yu Yifeng nodded and asked, "By the way, are there any other discoveries? What about the indigenous people?"

"Yes." Professor Thomson was stunned and said with a hint of weirdness: "Just turn to the back. Don't doubt that we are faking it, it is something we really photographed!"

Hearing what he said, Yu Yifeng turned to the next page with great interest... At that moment, he was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened.

What is this...?

There is such a thing in the world... This is unbelievable... Similar planets, similar environments... Similar... Creatures? !

What did he see...

Humans!

No, a creature that looks exactly like humans, living on this planet?
