The departure of the first space mining robot awakened the Hope, which had slept for a thousand years.
Before landing on Ross 154-4 Planet, humanity first set its sights on its satellite. Mining robots would begin extraction operations on this irregular satellite, barely over two hundred kilometers across, then transport shiploads of ore back to the Hope via shuttles.
The Hope's engineering workshops would then operate at full capacity, continuously producing all kinds of supplies for humanity. At the same time, the warship construction program was restarted.
Everything was awakening.
At roughly the same time, Yue Yuan was exchanging views with more than a dozen scientists and geological workers regarding the landing in a small Conference Room.
"Based on what we have observed of the planet from satellite images, its surface is mainly composed of ravines and low hills. No other towering mountain ranges or peaks have been found. All right, several planetary evolution experts seem to have something to say. But please let me finish."
Glancing at the planetary evolution experts who hesitated to speak, the female geologist, who appeared to be in her forties, continued, "Because there are too few satellites, we have not yet obtained comprehensive geological data on this planet. However, based on the images we have captured so far, there are two things I find strange. Look at this image."
The geologist pressed a button in her hand and sent a signal to the large screen. Once the image appeared, she pointed at it. "Look. This dark patch beneath the hill looks like a cave. We have already found four similar cave-like structures in satellite images. That is the first point. The second is this, which our satellite spectrometer detected."
Looking at the changing image on the screen, Yue Yuan noticed that it differed from
