"It's been confirmed."
He Bilin spoke with certainty. "According to our latest observations, the Kepler-452 stellar system contains six planets in total."
"Its overall structure is similar to that of the Solar System."
"We've also confirmed that Kepler-452b is a rocky planet, with roughly five times Earth's mass and surface gravity of approximately 2g."
"Its orbital period is about 385 Earth days."
"It's also located within the system's habitable zone."
"Just as people speculated a thousand years ago, it's practically a second Earth."
Lü Yongchang's heart thudded hard a few times, and a sense of anticipation he had not felt in a long while welled up within him.
"However..."
He Bilin shrugged, his expression regretful. "We detected large amounts of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, which would cause a considerable greenhouse effect."
"Zero's simulations indicate that Kepler-452b has relatively little water, and its maximum surface temperature could exceed 120 degrees Celsius."
"The temperature difference between day and night is large, with lows of around minus 50 degrees Celsius."
"Overall, it differs from what people imagined a thousand years ago. It's very likely a barren planet."
Lü Yongchang could not help chuckling. "That's hardly a major problem."
"Planetary Terraforming Technology can quickly turn it into Earth 2.0."
"But I need to hear your reasoning." Lü Yongchang's expression grew a little more serious as he asked in a low voice, "Why choose it?"
"I just looked over the list you compiled."
"There are ten planets within a hundred light-years on your shortlist."
"Why choose one so far away?"
"You should know that a long journey often means all sorts of uncertainties."
Seeing Lü Yongchang's serious expression, He Bilin pondered for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and began to explain.
"The most important reason is that it's closer to Sagittarius A*, the central
