Chapter 22 Interstellar Rover
Chapter 22 Interstellar Wanderer
In the boundless void, a small spaceship sailed from the other end of the invisible channel, coming with a mission, exchanging information with the mother star several light years away from time to time.
[Research Ship Voyage Log]
【2200.03.16
This is the Gudu civilization research ship ISS Wanderer. Today the Wanderer has passed through the hyperspace channel and arrived in the [X] galaxy.
The spacecraft sailed silently outside the gravity well, and the starry sky here still seemed static. The only difference was that the star in the X galaxy was a B-type main sequence star with extremely low magnitude.
But with the help of observation equipment, we still saw the pure white intertwined with the blue of the starry sky, well... it has a bit of a dreamy purple charm.

According to the display of the deep space radar system, we headed towards the north of the star map at an angle of 50° to the star, and found the [Knum star] located in the orbit of the seventh planet in the [X] galaxy. I think... that must be
It is just as recorded in the myth.
It looks like a dead frozen planet...well...well, it is indeed like this. We thought it was just a cold polar planet, but entering the orbit of the Knum star could not reach it from the equator.
Signs of life were found in the area.
Except for a bunch of ruins and a very tall building.

【2200.05.01
Okay, okay... After a brief investigation of this 'mythical planet', we received the order from Master Gudu. The original plan remains unchanged and we will temporarily ignore these buildings that have existed for countless thousands of years.
Go all the way to the hyperspace channel on the other side of the galaxy and investigate the planets and stars nearby until the entire [X] galaxy is explored. After that, the engineering ship will carry out construction work as appropriate based on our reports...
Also, I don’t know what the meaning of this is, but He also asked me to carry a towel with me.
Incomprehensible…
This little girl Aisha gave me her daily towel directly...
Although it is unnecessary textile, thank her anyway.

【2200.07.09
Call it a day, call it a day! The fifth planet in the [X] galaxy is a gas giant planet, a 'hot Jupiter' type. In the one-month survey results, the astral wind on its surface often maintained around level 17, and we were lucky enough to observe it.
The climate of a lightning and magnetic storm.
There is no 'land' in the ordinary sense here. The only material forms that can be observed are gaseous and liquid 'gas', and the color is also a bit different...warm?
I passed by the ice giant Illyria in the Lone Star System before, and the cold, dark storm raging, and deep blackness in the deep sky in the image was really eye-catching.
It is worth mentioning that we discovered that a small satellite orbiting this gas giant planet seems to be about to collide with this giant planet soon.
I originally planned to wait for a while, and I would definitely be able to collect a lot of data. But Master Gudu said that it would only take the final step of becoming a star when we come to study it...
I can't understand. Could this asteroid still be affected by the observer effect? I hope it will still be there when I come back next time.

【2200.08.22
The Wanderer has arrived in the synchronous orbit of the second planet in the galaxy. The planet Gaia, which is the same as its parent star, has traces of civilization on it...
Now, Aisha is already urging me...]
"Captain Pace! Come on, hurry up."
A little girl named Elsa jumped into the bridge and made a 'V' sign in excitement.
"Everything is ready! Should we check the aircraft first? Or debug the equipment first? Or...me?"
With her ring finger on her lips, Elsa stared intently at her systematic finishing work, brimming with enthusiasm and a smile.
"Ah, let's set off then."
Pace pressed Enter in a calm tone and paused the recording of the log.
First mark the reason for the interruption, complete the investigation after investigation, and send it to the home planet along with the report.
After logging out of the system, she turned around and walked out of the bridge. Elsa quickly followed and passed through the closing valves.
Their target is the hangar inside the scientific research ship. The scientific research ship is a non-military space vessel with an overall length of 500 meters. The design concept is to serve as the eyes of civilization to explore the universe.
It can sail for hundreds of years relying on the exquisite internal ecological cycle system when the energy is sufficient, ranging from stellar surveys to ecological analysis of habitable stars. It has extremely wide functions.
Scientific research ships are specialized space ships. They cannot easily enter the planet's atmosphere without the help of a space center. Corresponding work within the planet is performed by a shuttle team dispatched by the scientific research ship.
Taking into account the existence of habitable planets and local intelligent species, this operation will be led by Pace, one of the scientist leaders.
"Master Pace, the lilies in the ecological zone have entered a new flowering period. I moved a cluster yesterday..."
Elsa kept chattering along the way, but Pace mostly turned a deaf ear and only occasionally responded.
The simple response made Aisha speak more diligently, and she didn't slow down until she was close to the destination.
Elsa could take in the entire hangar from the very beginning. The steely tones of the walls made the place feel a bit cold. After staying in space for a long time, the mentality of her fellow crew members was probably the same.
They walked out of the passage and stood on the high platform, with a clear view of the shuttle and all kinds of nearby equipment.
The ten-man team below is much wider, and they have obviously put on their equipment.
Elsa jumped lightly, pressed herself against the top of the hangar, and then pushed herself down.
"Mr. Pace! I'll get you a spacesuit. Just come in. I've already done the inspection in advance."
After shouting a few times, Elsa got into the spacesuit she had put away in advance, and the bloated humanoid picked up another suit and walked towards Pace.
"That's fine, just check it out."
Pace took over the space suit and nodded. Elsa is still very reliable as his deputy.
She is unexpectedly lively on weekdays and is capable and conscientious in doing things. She said that if she does it well, it proves that she has passed the standard.
Next, the equipment was installed and ready to go. Thinking of this, Pace walked forward and faced the team members.
"Everyone is here! Line up, we will install the equipment later."
After hearing this, everyone in the team consciously raised their heads and looked straight ahead.
Aisha also stepped into the first place in the air, looking at Pace through the completely transparent helmet, her mood was as good as ever, looking forward to the journey to the planet under her feet.
Hum hum.
The living planet, after seeing enough of the desolate universe, finally has some greenery.
We are about to return to the ecological circle of a livable planet. I wonder if this planet, which is also part of Gaia like its home planet, can make Pace and the others more active.
I hope...
Elsa gently carried the food supplies and stepped onto the shuttle. Under her optimistic expression, a look of worry flashed past.
Among the taciturn people, her liveliness is the most unusual.
Although other Gudu people will explain that the "three-quarters" phenomenon is normal when you stay in the lonely space for a long time.
Their psychological quality is professional, their communication is less active at most, and they do not suffer from cognitive decline or abnormal emotions.
But she doesn't care about that much.
People with mental illness say they are normal.
Whenever I set foot on land again to relax my mental state, my mood changes so much, and I still say that I am not sick!
The mouth of a colleague is a liar.
With the logistics preparations completed and the operators entering the aircraft, Pace sat in the centermost position of the shuttle.
Fingers flew across the panel, opening communication with the bridge.
"Bridge, this is shuttle No. 1, applying for a power debugging environment!"
"Approved, the auxiliary power unit ignition environment is ready."
Outside the shuttle, the lights in the hangar room suddenly turned red, the triangular cone-shaped body trembled slightly, and blue airflow sprayed out from the tail.
The shuttle slowly taxied to the outer cabin and connected to the ground, with the gate behind it closing.
"The power is normal and the engine warm-up is normal. Request to eject the outer hangar."
"Operation confirmed, requesting permission...Captain Pace, I wish you good luck."
After the final command was issued, the air in the outer hangar was gradually withdrawn, and the door of the hangar opened to reveal the green planet Gaia below.
The shuttle bounced in the direction of the planet, and when viewed from a distance, it drew an arc-shaped bluish-white trajectory.
This exploration... has officially begun.
