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

If it weren't for those precious tree resources, Lu Yongchang could have ordered the plowing of the planet's surface with antimatter bombs.

He doesn't believe that life forms living on planets can resist the damage of anti-matter bombs with their bodies!

What giant creatures, carnivorous forests...

Under the cover of large-scale artillery fire, it is all floating clouds!

But if you want to use those trees to study the radiation protection layer of the starship with stronger performance... the planetary landing battle has become an indispensable part.

I have to say that Zhu Ziwen's transformation came in handy just right!

……

"drop!"

"Planet explorer, Xia Zhou, welcome to the year 2921 of the Earth's calendar. Currently, the Human Alliance fleet is on the edge of a black hole..."

The slightly stiff electronically synthesized sound echoed in his ears, Xia Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and before he could feel the choking sensation, he coughed hard, clearing out the remaining deep sea fluid in his trachea.

"2921 years..."

The confusion in Xia Zhou's eyes gradually dissipated, and he got out of the deep-sea cabin with a little force: "This hibernation time is really long..."

While speaking, he turned his head and looked to the side.

The neatly arranged hibernation cabins are quietly fixed on the starship, looking like rows of beautifully crafted coffins.

In the distance, several hibernation cabins were illuminated with warm orange-yellow lights.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see clearly the text on the holographic image above the hibernation cabin.

"Zhong Wenhao...He Bolun..."

He whispered the familiar names in the holographic projection.

"Did you only wake up the planetary explorers?" Xia Zhou murmured in confusion, "Strange, isn't the fleet in the black hole area now?"

"Did the fleet find anything near the black hole?"

"...Explorer Xia Zhou, please report to conference room [-] in two hours."

Zero did not answer Xia Zhou's soliloquy.

Xia Zhou frowned slightly, and turned to look at the porthole not far away.

With just one glance, he suddenly widened his eyes.

"Is this a black hole?"

"It's spectacular..."

Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he shuddered violently.

The eyes staring at the black hole also changed from admiration to a touch of fear.

"No, no, no..." Xia Zhou shook his head vigorously, and threw out the unreliable thoughts in his mind.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"The Academy of Sciences can't issue such an order... right?"

But this kind of thing...

The less you think about it, the easier it will be in your mind!

"Xia Zhou!"

A shout came from behind.

Although it was an extremely familiar voice, it still made his body tremble violently.

"I said, what are you thinking?"

A big face full of bright smiles appeared in front of him.

As if aware of the fear that had not dissipated on Xia Zhou's face, the smile on his big face faded a little, and was replaced by a bit of puzzlement: "Hey, Xia Zhou, what are you thinking?"

"Talk? You won't sleep stupid, will you?"

"Hey Hey hey?"

There was a little more worry on the big face, and at the same time, a slightly rough palm kept shaking in front of his eyes.

Xia Zhou clicked his tongue lightly, and impatiently patted off the palm that kept dangling in front of his eyes.

"I said Stupid Su, do you have so much energy just after waking up from hibernation?"

Su nerd, real name Su Pengfei.

Xia Zhou and others jokingly called him a Su nerd because he often did some stupid behaviors.

"Hehehe..." Su Pengfei's big face showed a pair of big teeth, "That's right, don't you look at who I am!"

"You don't think I'm complimenting you, do you?"

Xia Zhou said weakly.

"Huh? Isn't it?" Su Pengfei was stunned, and asked back with some doubts.

Xia Zhou: "...ah, yes, yes, yes."

"So, Brother Zhou, what were you thinking just now?" Su Pengfei asked again with a smile, "Thinking about life?"

Although his heart was full of worries, Xia Zhou explained patiently.

"You said, why did the Academy of Sciences call us up?"

"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's planet exploration!" Su Pengfei looked at Xia Zhou with the eyes of a fool.

Xia Zhou: "..."

He can accept being despised by anyone, but he absolutely cannot accept being despised by Su Pengfei!

"You idiot!" Xia Zhou raised his hand and gave Su Pengfei a big punch in front of him, "Look outside the porthole!"

"Now the fleet is next to the black hole! Do you know the black hole?!"

"What kind of planet are you exploring?!"

Su Pengfei turned his head in a daze, and looked in the direction of Xia Zhou's finger.

"Damn it...it's spectacular..."

Xia Zhou's face froze: "Did I let you sigh this?!"

"So... Brother Zhou, what exactly do you want to say?" Su Pengfei straightened his expression and asked with some doubts.

"..." Xia Zhou was silent for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Do you think we will be sent to investigate black holes?"

"This is a business that must die!"

"so what?"

Su Pengfei showed his usual simple and honest smile: "If this is an order from the Academy of Sciences, if the People's Federation needs us to do this, if this can bring human civilization to a higher level..."

"Then we just have to do it."

"I've been prepared for this since the day I became a planetary explorer."

Xia Zhou fell into silence.

After a long time, he sighed deeply: "Su idiot...you are really an idiot!"

Xia Zhou raised his hand and patted Su Pengfei's thick shoulder lightly: "Let's go, get ready, we should go to meeting room No. [-] to report."

With that said, Xia Zhou turned around and prepared to leave the hibernation area.

"Brother Zhou."

Su Pengfei's voice sounded again.

"I asked Zero when I woke up just now."

"After we hibernated, there was a big battle near Proxima Centauri that spanned tens of light years."

"The war destroyed countless star systems, including Gliese 555."

Xia Zhou's face changed slightly, and his walking pace suddenly slowed down.

"The tail-docking plan launched by the Academy of Sciences last time has worked."

"Human civilization, because of their sacrifices, has successfully found a way out."

"You... why are you telling me this..."

Xia Zhou lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Brother Zhou, we all know that you...your father was selected for the Tail Docking Project."

"Perhaps you are dissatisfied with this plan of the Academy of Sciences..."

Su Pengfei walked slowly to Xia Zhou's side, the smile on his face didn't fade in the slightest: "But I just want to tell you that he is a hero, a hero of human civilization!"

"And..." he said again after being silent for a while, "The docking plan is a plan that the Academy of Sciences was forced to launch in desperation."

"I am confident that, given the choice, the Academy and Parliament would never again take a decision like this."

Xia Zhou clenched his fists tightly, but released them instantly.

He let out a long breath, and murmured in confusion, "Ying... a hero..."

"maybe."

Xia Zhou shook his head lightly, and walked forward a little lonely.

"Xia Zhou..."

Su Pengfei watched Xia Zhou's back gradually go away, and disappeared around the corner in front of him, hesitant to speak.

Chapter 599 Landing Meeting

"Everyone."

"This is the target planet of this landing exploration plan—the lost star located on the periphery of the black hole's accretion disk."

In meeting room No. [-], Zhu Ziwen's voice echoed.

As the holographic projection of the Lost Star slowly appeared in front of everyone, there was a gasp in the meeting room.

"hiss……"

Xia Zhou showed shock, took a breath, and lowered his voice to Su Pengfei who was beside him, "Damn... there are planets in such a ghostly place!"

"And..." He looked at the basic data of the Lost Star constantly emerging from the side of the projection, and swallowed hard, "This Lost Star is an authentic livable planet!"

"Hey, what a place!"

As he said that, a touch of excitement welled up in his eyes.

Since becoming a planetary explorer, he has never landed on such a vibrant alien planet!

"Brother Zhou, how are you? Am I right?"

Su Pengfei obviously didn't listen to what Xia Zhou said, he said complacently.

Xia Zhou was stunned by Su Pengfei's sudden request for credit.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

Su Pengfei looked at Xia Zhou with disdain.

"How did I say it?"

"When there is a choice, the Academy of Sciences will definitely not make the kind of decision that makes people die for nothing!"

Xia Zhou: "..."

Are you OK?

Due to the occasion, he gave Su Pengfei a hard look, and cursed in a low voice: "Shut up, you idiot!"

Su Pengfei: "..."

"Cough cough!"

Zhu Ziwen seemed to have noticed the whispering between the two, and coughed softly to remind him: "The next information is more important, and all explorers should pay attention."
