Li Qingsong was shocked by more than just this.
Further analysis showed that the main components of these gases were Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, Chlorofluorocarbon, and so on.
These gases all had one thing in common: they were all closely related to industrial activity!
Li Qingsong knew that, due to his long-term large-scale industrial activity and massive emissions of industrial waste gas into the natural environment, Luoshen Star had also developed an extremely thin atmosphere.
The main gaseous components of Luoshen Star's atmosphere were these same gases!
The gases on Luoshen Star had been emitted by him, so who had emitted the gases on that Dwarf Planet?
A highly plausible guess surfaced in Li Qingsong's mind.
On that Dwarf Planet, only a little over 40 million kilometers away from him, there were also intelligent lifeforms—though it was impossible to determine for now whether they were humans or some other type—carrying out industrial activities on a considerable scale!
He actually had a neighbor!
Since there was a neighbor, then who had detonated an Infrared Bomb beside Luoshen Star back then, drawing over the flock of Strange Birds and causing him enormous trouble?
It could only have been them!
Then why had they done this? Did they... have anything to do with the unexplained disappearance of Human Civilization?
A powerful sense of crisis rose within Li Qingsong.
No matter what, judging from their use of an Infrared Bomb to kill with a borrowed knife, they were enemies, not friends.
"I need to launch a probe over there and find out what they're up to."
Li Qingsong thought rapidly. "But although 40 million kilometers isn't far, accurately launching a probe there is still somewhat beyond my current capabilities."
That Dwarf Planet had a radius of roughly 800 kilometers.
Launching a probe
