Harnessing Biosphere Resources

"Wow, what kind of animal is so resistant to grass that it can't even be kicked to death?"

The soldier, who was lost in thought, suddenly heard a surprised mutter. Without a doubt, it was Xu Yanxia abusing the animals on this planet again.

He didn't want to pay attention, but then he heard Xu Yanxia shout in the channel, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me catch it. Have you forgotten about Dr. Doctor Yi Kai's research on impact-resistant animals? Research on high-G acceleration enhancement. That thing was kicked by me and it's still jumping around. Its body structure must be top-notch. Catching it will be a great achievement."

Upon hearing this reminder, the soldiers all looked toward the source of the commotion.

An animal with orange-yellow fur was seen sticking to a dent in the dirt after being kicked a moment ago. The next moment, it shook itself off and ran towards the bushes not far away.

This animal has a cat-like head, three-pawed hooves, flat teeth, a long neck, four eyes, a single horn, and its scream sounds like a dolphin's cry. It's about the size of a calf, covered in fluffy fur, and quite cute.

There was a mark on his buttocks, and judging from the bald patch of skin, it must have been where Xu Yanxia had kicked him.

"It's a herbivore. We've seen it before when no one was exploring it. We call it the Unicorn Big Cat. It's a common herbivorous animal on this planet. It feeds on the trunks of shrubs and is gentle in nature. I didn't expect its bones to be so hard," a biologist exclaimed in surprise.

He was already somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Yanxia's behavior of kicking animals everywhere, but he didn't expect to kick out such a tough animal.

Bang! Just then, a gunshot rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the group saw a silver light fly out from the gun barrel in the hand of the soldier at the front, instantly transforming into a soft steel wire net that enveloped the Unicorn Big Cat with lightning speed.

One shot, and it's dead.

Seeing the Unicorn Big Cat struggling to break free from the soft wire mesh, the soldier swiftly stepped forward, raised his steel claws, and grabbed the Unicorn Big Cat in his hand.

"Well done!"

This scene wasn't limited to this small team; other teams would occasionally engage in side hustles outside of their main missions, and they would collect anything they deemed valuable.

During this landing, there were dozens of such teams, some mainly collecting plants, some mainly collecting animals, and some collecting soil and microorganisms, and so on.

In addition to the personnel who went out, the engineering personnel among the landing personnel were responsible for the construction of ground Relay Station and temporary research stations.

The initial collection process wasn't very conservative; we basically just walked around and collected whatever we saw, since we weren't aiming for live samples at this stage. Of course, we would sometimes use a scanner to scan the targets to prevent too many duplicate samples.

After six years of unmanned exploration, humanity has now basically confirmed that there is no Sentient Life on this planet. This has reassured the New Government considerably, while leaving those who wanted to study Sentient Life somewhat disappointed.

As for what stage of life evolution it is at, further confirmation is needed from biologists, geologists, and other experts based on samples and field investigations.

These tasks were also carried out concurrently during this login process.

In this way, samples were transported one by one to the Callisto Warship, and then ship by ship to the orbital Space Station.

Then, scientists aboard the orbiting Space Station will conduct the research.

This time, the landing to collect biological samples went without any unexpected incidents. Occasionally, some animals with strong bodies were encountered, but they were easily subdued by the landing personnel wearing New Spacesuit.

On a primitive planet, no matter how powerful the animals are, they can't compare to the Steel Body of humans armed with technology.

Biological samples transported to the orbital Space Station are sorted and then stored in their respective storage compartments.

The first batch consisted mostly of inanimate objects, but starting with the second batch, more and more biological samples began to contain living organisms.

The cabins for housing living creatures were modified by humans according to the environment of the Wolf 1061 c Planet. Different organisms live in different environments, and humans built corresponding environments for each type of organism.

There are countless species of animals and plants, including those that swim in water, live in bushes, in swamps, in ponds, in sandy areas, and dwell in caves. In addition to the three types of plants and animals, there are also many compartments specifically for storing bacteria and microorganisms.

The orbital Space Station's rotation speed was also set to generate simulated gravity similar to that of the Wolf 1061 c Planet.

It is clear that humans want more than just research samples; they also want all kinds of original biological samples, and even try to acquire some organisms that can meet the living environment of organisms on Wolf 1061 c Planet and keep them in captivity.

Humans cannot stay here indefinitely, nor can they take the entire Wolf 1061 c Planet with them, so this is the only way to extract as much of the planet's precious Biosphere Resources as possible.

This is why the orbital Space Station needs to be built in the same type as the Hope spacecraft. Once humans leave, the orbital Space Station can be renamed the Wolf Bio-Resource Spaceship.

It is conceivable that personnel entering and leaving this Space Station must undergo strict disinfection procedures, and wearing full protective clothing while working is the most basic requirement.

To ensure biologists could comfortably conduct their research, the relevant departments specially designed a lightweight protective suit for them, a suit that integrates air conditioning and a self-supplied oxygen system.

Humans have gone to great lengths to prevent cross-infection and invasion of microbial populations.

Of course, humans don't want to keep entering the orbital Space Station wearing protective suits, nor do they want to go through tedious disinfection procedures every time, but this is necessary at this stage.

Humanity's goal is to utilize the biosphere of Wolf 1061 c Planet, and to study this biosphere for the purpose of serving humanity. Therefore, in the near future, once certain research results are achieved and applied to humans effectively, this process will no longer be so cumbersome.

Yes, modifying itself to adapt to the microbial environment of the Wolfe Biosphere is the first-stage goal of human research on the Wolf 1061 c Planet.

It is also the first step for humankind to strengthen and transform itself.

After that, humans will no longer need to worry about being infected by microorganisms in this biosphere.

Next, we will conduct various targeted biological analyses and experiments to understand the reasons why the advantages and abilities of various organisms in the biosphere are formed, and then enable humans to have the desired abilities as well.

This is the second step of the research plan, also known as the body enhancement research.

The reason why Yi Kai always says that a planetary biosphere is needed is precisely this: even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

The so-called investigation of things to acquire knowledge requires you to have "things" in order to "investigate".

Humans don't have superpowers or divine strength, so they can only improve themselves through this method. In more traditional terms, it's called learning from nature.

The Daoist saying that humans follow the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature is equivalent to the Confucian saying of investigating things to acquire knowledge.
