Chapter 608 - 608 Exploring an Unknown Planet
608 Exploring an Unknown Planet
With this magical potion, everyone was recharged. Their fatigue was dispelled, and their spirits were refreshed.
Therefore, they took a deep breath, stepped forward with courage, and completely broke through this technical barrier.
After he mastered the alloy refining technology, Wu Mo immediately instructed the relevant agencies to apply the technology to metal refining.
The large-scale refining plant was ready, and there were spaceships responsible for the mining ahead.
They would transport the basic metal materials back to the planet and extract the important alloy from it.
Although the entire process was expected to take a month, Wu Mo was not in a hurry.
After careful consideration, he concluded that Dark Star currently did not have the strength to attack the humans.
The fleet of spaceships that they had sent out before was almost as powerful as the ones that had attacked Fita.
In other words, their most powerful attack had been against Fita.
This allowed Wu Mo to gain insight into the way the Dark Starlings did things: No matter what kind of enemy they faced, they would go all out and leave no regrets.
Their attitude toward humans was like that of a lion hunting a rabbit. Although they regarded human civilization as inferior, they prepared sufficiently.
However, they did not expect the outcome.
One day, the observatory made a major discovery and immediately reported the news to the Planetary Alliance.
Upon receiving the news, the important figures rushed over.
Wu Mo and the old chief walked into another country’s astronomical research base.
The starry sky slowly unfolded on a screen. It was so dazzling and vast that people yearned for it.
In a corner of the star map, there was a tiny dot of light.
It reflected the light from other stars and emitted a faint green color, which shocked everyone present.
“My God, this is shocking. What is this? someone could not help but exclaim.
At this moment, the head astrologer in the country could not hide his excitement.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and slowly pointed a black metal rod at the green dot on the screen.
“Everyone, what you are seeing now is a planet that is only about a billion kilometers away from human civilization. We gave it a name—Eternal Sun.” His voice was solemn and majestic.
“What?! Eternal Sun?” It struck everyone’s hearts like thunder.
They all secretly speculated how Eternal Sun had been discovered.
The head astrologer continued, “Eternal Sun is an ordinary planet, but under the illumination of another star, a miracle has occurred. It has given birth to natural life.”
“What? Natural life? How is that possible?” Hearing the words “natural life,” everyone felt as if they had been electrocuted, and they became excited.
The appearance of life meant that this planet could possibly give birth to a civilization!
However, they were unable to determine the level of the life forms’ evolution on the planet.
“Continue!” a leader of another country calmly instructed.
The expert in astronomy nodded and added, “Preliminary detection shows that life on this planet consists of some ordinary animals and plants. There are no advanced intelligent life forms.”
At this moment, Wu Mo and the others finally understood that it was a primitive planet. It was like Earth millions of years ago. There were only some elementary life forms and no creatures with high-intelligence.
“Everyone, this planet contains endless potential. If we can develop this planet, it will bring great benefits to the entire human world. Perhaps, in the future, we will use this place as a base and create another paradise suitable for human survival.”
As soon as the astrologer finished speaking, there was a big commotion.
The people there discussed it fervently and felt that this planet had endless potential.
Due to development, human civilization had fallen into a predicament in many aspects.
If they wanted to completely change the human civilization’s current state, they would have to overcome great challenges.
However, if they were to develop on a primitive planet, apply existing technology, and carry out a comprehensive plan, they might be able to create a brand-new, perfect civilized planet.
They had dark matter, anti-matter, controllable nuclear fusion, and other advanced technologies.
Once all of this was applied to the planet, its civilization would rapidly soar in a short period of time and reach an astonishing height.
Everyone’s eyes lit up at this thought. They were filled with anticipation and excitement. However, Wu Mo stood up at this moment and raised his doubts. “A billion kilometers is actually not that far. Are there other civilizations within this range, or is this a huge trap?”
Wu Mo’s question instantly extinguished everyone’s enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.
Yes, if civilizations also discovered this planet, would they become their target?
As they attempted to conquer and transform new planets, they needed to ensure their own safety, or else everything would be for naught.
Wu Mo had just experienced a great battle and come out victorious. Therefore, that was one aspect he would always consider.
The other countries never had such an intense experience, so this issue did not occur to them. The astrologer and the leader of his country frowned deeply.
Obviously, they had not considered this problem. Wu Mo’s question had put them in a tough position.
The astrologer slowly said, “Mr. Wu has raised a good point. Despite our country’s astronomical technology, we are unable to determine whether there’s an advanced civilization around this planet.”
He looked a little troubled. It was obvious that they were limited by technology and that they could not solve this problem.
However, some other countries present could do it. China, for example, was the best in the field, and no one could compare to it.
“In that case, let us send out our space probes first. We’ll do a carpet search and scan the entire planet. Once we confirm that it’s safe, we’ll proceed with the landing. Does anyone have any objections?”
The old chief’s voice was calm and firm. His tone was filled with confidence.
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. No one raised any objections. Who dared to question China’s decision?
Once China made it clear that they were going to make a move, which country had the audacity to boast that they could do better?
Therefore, Wu Mo and the old chief took on this important task on China’s behalf during the international conference.
They would be the first batch of representatives to land on Eternal Sun. The first thing to do was ensure the planet’s safety. The next step was to completely mine and modify it.
