It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

"It's too demanding."

"There are not many mineral prospectors with more than 50 years of work experience."

"And it's such a hard-working job. It's probably hard to find such a person."

"Will you... lower your requirements?"

Lu Yongchang shook his head and refused without hesitation: "No!"

"Entering the exploration of ice giant planets is a very dangerous operation. Without sufficient experience in mineral exploration, it will only lead to extremely bad endings in the end!"

"Then... what about unmanned driving?" Mao Zhengzhi pondered for a moment, then added again, "If no one has signed up."

Hearing this, Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a bit of confusion.

The reason for choosing a real person is that compared with robots and artificial intelligence, humans have more flexible self-judgment capabilities.

When encountering some extreme situations that have never appeared before, experienced drivers can rely on their own experience to deal with emergencies.

This is something zero can't do anyway.

"if……"

"If no one really signs up, choose unmanned driving."

Speaking of this, Lu Yongchang sighed helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the holographic projection in front again.

In the projection, it is a picture in an independent gravity cabin.

In the picture, four well-proportioned men are living life naturally.

At the top of the screen, there is a small red font marked.

【Equivalent gravity: 2g】

Lv Yongchang looked carefully at each item of physical examination data, with a bit of satisfaction in his eyes.

Magna Visceral Omentum Gene and Magna Body Strengthening Hormone worked very well.

At least, at present, it seems that the personnel who have undergone this human enhancement experiment can easily live on the surface of Dawn Star without the help of exoskeleton armor and medical cabin.

As for atmospheric pressure...

After testing, these genetically enhanced personnel can live normally under 10 standard atmospheric pressure.

Although the current external environment of Dawn Star is far from reaching the standard,

But Lu Yongchang believes that with the passage of time, the Atmospheric Transformer [-] will sooner or later transform the atmosphere of Dawn Star into an environment suitable for human habitation!

"Professor, someone has signed up."

Zero's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Lu Yongchang's thoughts.

"Oh?" A look of joy flashed across Lu Yongchang's face, and he said repeatedly, "Who is it? Does the qualification meet the standards?"

"Fully inspected and complies with the requirements you have set."

"Okay! Great!" Hearing Zero's response, Lu Yongchang rubbed his hands excitedly, "Show me their information."

"By the way, Zero, let them come to the biology lab to find me!"

"If you want to enter the ice giant planet exploration, this physical fitness is not enough!"

……

The lobby on the first floor of the Academy of Sciences.

Hope stood there nervously, looking straight at the introduction of the ice giant planet in the holographic projection.

"Hancent, do you think we can be selected?"

"Will someone sign up before us?"

"if……"

Compared with Hope, Hansent is much more normal.

He rolled his eyes helplessly: "Big brother, be normal."

"Look around, is there anyone else in this hall besides us?"

"Besides... Which mineral prospector with 50 years of work experience wouldn't think of being a volunteer?"

Hope sneered, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a familiar electronically synthesized voice.

"Mr. Hope, Mr. Henson."

"plz follow me."

"Professor Lu is waiting for you two in the biology laboratory."

Chapter 462 Ammonia Ice Cloud and Liquid Ammonia Ocean

"Biology laboratory?"

Hope asked Hansen in a low voice with some surprise: "Why is it a biological laboratory?"

"Aren't we going to explore the ice giant planet? How could it be related to the biological laboratory?"

"Are you asking me? Who should I ask?" Hansen replied angrily, "Since Zero said so, let's just do it."

With that said, Hansent took a step forward, following the holographic guiding arrow in the air.

And Hope, after hesitating for a moment, followed Hansen's footsteps.

……

As junior employees of the Academy of Sciences, Hope and Hansent had access to some important areas of the Resource Management Bureau.

Therefore, unlike normal People's Federation citizens, they have seen some "high-tech products".

Even so, they were deeply shocked by the scene in the Academy of Sciences!

Robots of different shapes shuttled orderly in the extremely minimalist corridor.

Taking advantage of the time when the robot enters the laboratory, they can see the busy researchers in various laboratories.

Unknown experimental equipment, serious and tense experimental atmosphere...

Everything made Hope and Hansen anxious.

Just when the two were extremely anxious, the holographic guiding arrow turned into countless fine particles and slowly dissipated in the air.

At the same time, Zero's electronic synthesis sound also sounded.

"Mr. Hope, Mr. Hansent, the biology laboratory is here."

The moment the voice fell, the door of the laboratory on the side opened with a bang!

The scene in the laboratory fell into the eyes of the two at a glance.

……

"Professor." The electronically synthesized voice interrupted Lu Yongchang's action of checking the data, "The applicants have arrived."

Lu Yongchang raised his head and turned to look at the door of the laboratory.

really.

Two tall and burly men stood at the door cautiously.

With a gentle smile on his face, Lu Yongchang gently waved to the two of them.

"Why are you standing there? Come here."

"Relax, I don't eat people."

Hearing Lu Yongchang's words, the restraint on a man's face dissipated a lot.

But the other man was the same as before, with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.

"Lu, Professor Lu!" Hearing Lu Yongchang's voice, the man with fanatical eyes took a step forward, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, the robot standing by the door suddenly took a step forward.

The cold electronic eyes without emotion stared fixedly at this fanatical man.

Obviously, this scene scared the two of them.

The two volunteers took a step back subconsciously, their eyes filled with deep fear.

"Zero, relax." Lu Yongchang's gentle voice came from the front, "I don't think he has any malicious intentions."

The moment the voice fell, the robot standing in front of the two took a step back.

"You are..." Lu Yongchang glanced at the holographic image that appeared beside him, "Hope, right?"

"Why are you so excited?"

Hearing Lu Yongchang's question, Hope glanced at the robot that took a step back, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said cautiously: "Yes, I am Hope."

"Professor Lu, I, I am your fan!" Hope blushed slightly, and managed to squeeze out a sentence.

Lu Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand with a dumbfounded smile.

The robot standing by the door took another step back, and the red light in Electronic's eyes slowly went out.

"Come here." Lu Yongchang waved to the two of them again, "Let me give you a brief introduction to this operation, and then you can consider whether to participate."

……

"The target of this operation is the ninth planet in the Gliese 555 star system."

"It is an ice giant planet, similar to Neptune in the solar system."

Following Lu Yongchang's voice, a holographic image appeared in front of everyone.

In the projection, it is a planet with blue color in most areas.

Slightly different from the blue Neptune, the surface of this blue ice giant planet is accompanied by some reddish-brown areas.

"The gravity is about 1.5g, not that big, not even comparable to Dawn Star."

"However, don't let your guard down because of this."

"The real threat is not gravity, but its atmosphere."

"The latest data sent back by the probe shows that the atmospheric composition of this ice giant planet is mainly hydrogen and nitrogen."

"In addition to these base gases, there's a lot of ammonia and nitrogen oxides."

"Here, those reddish-brown color bands are caused by nitrogen oxides." Lu Yongchang reached out and tapped on the holographic projection in front of him.

Seeing the two nodding to express their understanding, Lu Yongchang changed his hand gesture and enlarged the image of the ice giant planet a bit.

"Now, let me give you a simple simulation of the login process."

"First, a purpose-built survey ship will touch its upper atmosphere."

"There are large storms on the surface of this ice giant all the year round."

"Although the wind speed is not as good as that of Neptune, it has reached a high speed of 600km/h."

"This is the first test you have encountered."

"However, there is no need to worry too much."

"This kind of storm usually occurs in the upper atmosphere, where the atmosphere is thin and the wind speed is high, but the lethality is not great."

Hope and Hansent looked at each other upon hearing this.

From each other's eyes, both of them saw a little worry.

Lu Yongchang continued without any pause, "Next, you will pass through the ice cloud formed by solid ammonia."

"As the altitude continues to drop, the air pressure will gradually increase, and the surrounding temperature will gradually increase."

"According to the data sent back by the probe, when you descend to a certain height, you will encounter an ocean."

"ocean?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Hope's eyes, and he asked subconsciously.

"That's right, the ocean, an ocean made of liquid ammonia." Lu Yongchang said in a positive tone, "At 60 atmospheres, the boiling point of ammonia can reach 98 degrees Celsius."

"This sets the stage for the formation of oceans."

"And what you have to do is to enter this ocean of liquid ammonia for mineral exploration."
