Amid the farewells, rockets rose one after another, stubbornly heading for space.
These rockets had different destinations.
Some High-tier Experts, especially several at peak Tier 7, were going to Mars.
Compared to the moon, Mars had more abundant resources, an atmosphere, gravity similar to Blue Star's, and solid water at its poles. It could support them for much longer.
In contrast, the moon's living conditions were extremely harsh.
The moon was bare, with no atmosphere, no water, and only one-sixth of Blue Star's gravity. Living on the moon meant being constantly exposed to endless cosmic radiation.
Still, choosing the moon was not an especially serious problem.
Although the moon had no survival resources whatsoever, the High-tier Experts could bring their own!
Each High-tier Expert had several Space Storage Equipment items, with an average storage capacity of three to four thousand cubic meters per person.
Those spaces were filled with food, water, spiritual energy, and other necessities for life.
After reaching the moon, they could also enter a state of turtle-breath suspended animation to reduce energy consumption.
If they were not disturbed by the Dark Energy Rebel Army, the supplies in their Space Rings alone would be enough to keep them alive for hundreds or even thousands of years!
As for what would happen decades or centuries later... they could worry about that then.
Perhaps by then, the Dark Energy Rebel Army would have withdrawn from Blue Star, or Super AI Sheng Ge would have revived. Then nothing would be a problem anymore.
No matter what, the rockets still carried High-tier Experts into space one after another.
Surviving on the moon or Mars was a privilege exclusive to High-tier Experts. Ordinary people had no storage space, could not adapt to such harsh environments, and could not remain in turtle-breath hibernation
