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

"In an environment that is completely different from that of terrestrial planets, there may be some special minerals."

"That's what the Academy of Sciences needs."

ps: It's a bit of a text, let's take a look at the plot, and today's update

Chapter 463 Welcome to the Academy of Sciences

"How about it?"

Lu Yongchang chuckled, and said to Hope and Hansen, "Isn't it quite simple?"

Hope:? ? ?

Hansen: ? ? ?

Seeing the strange looks of the two, Lu Yongchang shrugged: "Just kidding, isn't it funny?"

Hope: "... Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, it's quite funny."

Lu Yongchang: "..."

Feeling the extremely embarrassing atmosphere, Lu Yongchang waved his hands angrily: "Forget it, let's get down to business, the mission process is roughly like this, please think about it carefully."

long silence.

From Professor Lu's words, both Hope and Hansen deeply realized the danger of this mineral exploration mission.

Strange planet, deadly atmosphere, unfathomable, vast ocean of liquid ammonia...

"The mission is very difficult and dangerous, so the mission is voluntary." Lu Yongchang added softly.

"Don't put too much pressure on it. If there is no candidate, the exploration ship can be unmanned."

While speaking, Lu Yongchang was about to close the holographic image around him: "Tell me the answer after you think about it."

"Professor!" Hope's weak voice sounded, "If I participate, can I join the Academy of Sciences?"

Lu Yongchang made a sudden movement in his hands, turned his head, and looked at Hope in surprise: "Join the Academy of Sciences?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Lu Yongchang nodded with a smile.

"of course can."

"The Academy of Sciences welcomes talents of any kind to join."

"I will participate!" Hope's originally weak voice became extremely firm.

"Have you figured it out?" Lu Yongchang raised his eyebrows and asked again, "This is very likely a road of no return."

Hope was silent for a moment, with a hearty smile on his face.

"I believe in you!"

Lu Yongchang was slightly moved, and then responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry."

"I will do everything I can to keep you safe."

Hope didn't speak, but turned to look at his old teammates.

"Why don't you go back?"

"I remember your dream of marrying a wife, having children, and then living an ordinary life..."

"Fart nnd!" Hansen yelled loudly, interrupting Hope, "Just go back and continue working as a mineral prospector like this, and labor and management will not be laughed at!"

"I've made up my mind. After finishing this vote, I'll go back in style!"

Seeing the extremely excited expressions of his old teammates, Hope opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"What are you looking at? Labor and management are here to glorify their ancestors, not to accompany you, an old man!" Hansen said cursingly.

"……thanks."

Hope whispered from the bottom of his heart.

As for Lu Yongchang, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he watched the scene in front of him silently.

Seeing that the two stopped communicating and looked at him, the smile on his face grew stronger.

"Two, welcome to the Academy of Sciences."

……

"Professor, I have another question."

Hope pointed to the surrounding equipment with some doubts: "Does the ice giant planet prospecting plan have anything to do with the biological laboratory?"

Lu Yongchang stretched out his hand and patted his head lightly: "Hey, I was too busy introducing you to the ice giant planet, but I forgot to introduce the human body enhancement project to you."

"Human body enhancement project?!" Hope and Hansent said in unison with surprise in their eyes.

"Not bad." Lu Yongchang opened another holographic projection again.

"Although the gravity of this ice giant planet is only 1.5g, it is not even comparable to Dawn Star."

"However, for the sake of your safety, I suggest that you complete the human body enhancement first."

While speaking, Lu Yongchang called out the comparison data before and after the human body was strengthened.

"Human body strengthening, shortly after arriving at Dawn Star, the Academy of Sciences began related research."

"Recently, this technology has fully matured, and it is estimated that it will be promoted in the All People's Federation in a while. You have taken advantage of it and experienced it first."

Looking at the extremely different data in the holographic projection, Hope's eyes showed emotion.

After all, who wouldn't want to have an incredibly strong body?

Especially when he saw that the strengthened human beings could get rid of the shackles of the exoskeleton armor and the medical cabin, and live freely on the Dawn Star, he became more and more excited.

But at the next moment, deep worry flashed in his eyes: "Professor, will this genetic modification..."

As "old men" from the earth age, Hope and Hancent have a heartfelt resistance and resistance to genetic modification technology.

Lu Yongchang was slightly taken aback, as if thinking of something.

He smiled and waved his hands: "Don't worry."

"I won't treat you as guinea pigs."

"The human experiments started five years ago, and the subjects were a group of prisoners who committed crimes against humanity."

"After five years of observation, we can basically confirm that this technology has no harm to the human body."

"Of course, for safety's sake, you need to complete germ cell sampling and storage before receiving reinforcement."

After a day of deliberation, Hope and Hansen finally chose to accept the human enhancement experiment.

The reason is also very simple.

After all, they are going to explore the interior of the ice giant planet.

The better their physical fitness, the higher their future survival rate.

Although this improvement is better than nothing, when things come to an end, driven by the desire to survive, everyone will do their best to improve themselves.

……

three days later.

After completing various physical examinations, Hope and Hansent entered the cylindrical reinforced facility with apprehensive expressions under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Seeing the light yellow deep sea liquid rising from the soles of his feet and gradually submerging his head, Hope took a deep breath.

Feeling the cold feeling coming from his lungs, he slowly closed his eyes.

With a slight tingling pain coming from his arm, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

"Preparing to inject the first dose of Magna Body Strengthening Hormone."

Academician Mao Zhengzhi's vague voice came into his ears through the glass cover.

"Start Magna visceral omentum genetic modification."

"Prepare to inject nutrient solution..."

……

"Good luck."

After finishing his work, Mao Zhengzhi smiled and said to Lu Yongchang: "I thought no one would sign up for this project."

Lu Yongchang nodded slightly, with emotion in his eyes.

"Pay more attention to the physical data of the two."

"Don't make any mistakes."

"Regardless of the outcome of this operation, they are all heroes of the People's Federation."

Mao Zhengzhi nodded quickly, and said with a serious expression: "Professor, don't worry."

"I was resting in the lab before they woke up!"

"Guaranteed that there will be no mistakes!"

Lu Yongchang silently watched the tall body strengthening device.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked towards the door of the laboratory.

"Report to me immediately after the strengthening is completed."

"I'll go see the ice giant exploration ship [Poseidon] again."

Chapter 464 "Poseidon" Ice Giant Exploration Ship

Dawn star synchronous orbit.

An extremely large man-made object floats quietly in space.

Man-made object is in the shape of a large disc.

That is a giant space city newly built by human beings.

Under the light of Gliese 555, this huge disc-shaped man-made object is slowly rotating around the center of the circle.

Same principle as the gravity cabin.

In this way, a gravity equivalent to that of the earth can be provided for the space in the disc.

Not far from it, there is a half-built giant space city with the same shape and structure.

The role of these space cities is not to dock starships, or to manufacture starships.

Their main role is to nurture human newborns.

The gravity on the surface of Dawn Star is too high, so it is not particularly friendly to underdeveloped children.

Even for babies who have just been born and whose bones have not yet developed, standing and walking will become a huge difficulty under such gravity.

Can't put an exoskeleton armor on a newborn child?

In order to ensure the normal reproduction of human beings, the Academy of Sciences had already made preparations a few years ago—to establish several giant space cities in the synchronous orbit of Dawn Star as nurturing centers.

Once pregnant, both parents can go to the giant space city at the same time and enjoy a 20-year pregnancy leave.

Seems like a lot.

But for the current human life span of eight to nine hundred years or even one thousand years, this time is nothing.

When the newborn is an adult, the parents and the child can return to the Dawn Star to live a normal life again.

Although this measure seems very humane, the 20-year time cost and countless hidden costs still discourage many people.

Therefore, since the establishment of the giant space city, very few people have chosen to give birth to the next generation, and the huge space city also appears empty.

On the periphery of Dawn Star, there are equally huge buildings.

That is the spaceport of the human fleet.

As the core area for the daily maintenance and manufacturing of starships, there are many fleets docked near the space port.

The flagship [Earth] docked there quietly.

The heart of the spaceport.

"Researcher Li Yuntian, Dawn Star sent a communication request, do you accept it?"

Zero's electronically synthesized voice echoed in the huge room.
