This immediately drew the attention of many astronomers and biologists. They were intensely curious about everything on the planet, including its lifeforms and the planet itself, and could hardly wait to land and investigate it on the spot.
Naturally, the New Government had no reason to stop them. No matter how advanced the civilization on that planet was, it could not possibly surpass humanity. Otherwise, why would they need Planetary Engines? They could simply install a Planetary Warp Engine and be done with it. Why go through all the trouble of interstellar travel?
Thus, a new round of more professional exploration began.
Looking at the planet, Yi Kai, who had already arrived at Lyra's Command Center, sighed. "What a pity. This planet's biosphere has been utterly transformed by their violent propulsion, and who knows how many plants and animals have gone extinct because of it. It seems this sulfur-based life civilization does not understand how precious a Life Planet is!"
However, Xian Donggui merely glanced at him and spread his hands. "Then you are mistaken. They had no choice. According to the data, the star their home planet orbits has entered its final stage. Within roughly the next hundred years, it will begin evolving from a Yellow Dwarf Star into a Red Giant. At that point, its volume will increase by more than two hundred times.
Given the position of their home planet, if they did not push it away, it would inevitably be swallowed by the star. Compared to being left with nothing, this degree of loss caused by moving the planet is indeed insignificant. They must have calculated the consequences."
After a pause, Xian Donggui reached out to the Holographic Screen and brought up the Yellow Dwarf Star approaching the end of its evolutionary cycle. Only then did
