1192 outside the Empire
12,000 light-years away from the Irranhill Empire, an exploration ship of the Irranhill Empire with a row of numbers on the side is speeding forward.
Although the advanced engines have made the ship incredibly fast, it still seems to be stationary in the vastness of the universe.
Above the ship, a god puppet sits in the captain's place, watching his men busy with their work.
He had already experienced countless spatial jumps, and now he was very, very far away from the Orchid Hill Empire behind him.
Even if the directional communication acceleration device on the spaceship can accelerate the communication energy, it will still take several days for the signal transmitted back on this spaceship to be received by the imperial border.
After all, this is the distance between light and 10,000 years, and the vastness of the universe is really beyond everyone's imagination. It's huge enough to make any speed feel powerless.
"Adjust the ship's course! The computer showed that we were 0.004 degrees off track...... This is already very dangerous. He looked at the puppet robot sitting in the driver's seat and commanded.
"Understood! Rest the ship's course and adjust it by 0.004 degrees! Adjusted! The puppet robot in charge of piloting the exploration ship completed the command with great precision, and then replied in a mechanical voice.
There is no way, cheap puppet robots don't need mouths, and even the magic array for pronunciation has been omitted. These robots speak using a megaphone near their necks, so their voices are very recognizable.
When the Ranhill Empire created these puppet robots, it sometimes consciously made them easier to identify. They are stripped of some features to make them easier to manage and control.
"Release re-entry bays 01 to 35! Explore all the planets nearby. "The golem is the captain of this ship, and his mission is to confirm the accuracy of the star map in this space, and to explore all the nearby planets to classify them more accurately.
This is a very boring and complicated job, so it is also more suitable to use a puppet robot to do it.
The population of the Ranhill Empire is still precious and cannot be easily wasted. Therefore, using robots to complete some dangerous work has become the best choice.
Obviously, it is still dangerous to confirm the accuracy of the star map of this space for the second time, so there is only one god puppet on the spaceship on the mission, and the rest are all puppet robots.
It is impossible for humans to appear on such a spacecraft, so this spaceship is theoretically an unmanned spacecraft.
The task of exploring all the nearby planets is more tedious, as the exploration ships of the Irlanhill Empire are required to divide the planets into many types.
First of all, the highest-level planets should not be far from the stars of the galaxy where they are located, the temperature should be suitable, and the size should not vary too much.
Such a planet can immediately sow the seeds of the tree of life, and then turn into a habitable planet suitable for human survival and reproduction.
Secondly, there are some planets with slightly worse natural conditions, these planets can be modified, but the environment will be relatively harsh, such planets are not very suitable for habitation, but can be developed into resource planets.
The worst planets are usually either too far away or too close to the stars in the galaxy, the natural environment is very harsh, and the tree of life cannot completely change the state of the planet, such planets are generally treated as garbage planets, which can be dumped with garbage or waste.
In short, any planet needs to be screened and classified so that it can be colonized by empires or used for other purposes.
As the number of planets explored by the Irlanhill Empire gradually increased, some discoveries began to appear.
For example, life was found on a planet that had crashed an exploration ship before.
There are already a large number of animals and plants on that planet, but no high-level intelligent life has been discovered so far.
Now the planet is named Hope One, which means the star of hope for the discovery of new life. And this Hope 1 planet has not yet been developed by the Iran Hill Empire, and Chris decided to use it as an observation experiment base to demonstrate the characteristics of a living planet.
Searching for other races, looking for other lives in the vast universe, and finding a sense of comfort that you are not lonely is now one of the purposes of the Orchid Hill Empire's universe exploration.
At the very least, Emperor Chris is convinced that he can find the human orphans scattered across this universe, or find that illusory chance to return to Earth.
"The 01 reentry capsule has been launched!" A robot puppet looked at the control panel in front of him and reported in a stiff tone.
A modest reentry pod broke away from the spaceship's hull and accelerated towards a distant planet.
After a few seconds, the other re-entry pod broke away from the ship's hull, then adjusted its direction and rushed towards another planet in a different direction.
This was followed by the third re-entry and the fourth...... Each of these re-entry pods locked onto the planet to be explored, and disappeared into the universe in a short time.
"Detection signal strength!" The puppet sitting in the captain's seat continued to order, "Keep the channel open!" Status monitoring of all re-entry compartments is on...... Report on the status of re-entry! ”
"All re-entry statuses are normal, and the signal is stable!" The puppet robot in charge of the re-entry pod monitoring immediately replied.
"The nearby quantum signal channel is very clean and there is no interference! There was nothing unusual about the radio monitoring...... If there are living beings here, they are only backward beings at best. The other puppet robot looked at the monitor in front of him and said in a calm tone.
"Don't be careless! Previous exploration data have shown that planet 18994 is a first-class planet with an atmosphere...... Focused observations are required. The god puppet, who was the captain of the ship, said.
He knew that even if he didn't emphasize it, the robots would faithfully carry out the program and complete the scheduled work, but he liked to talk like this, because it made it seem that he was not a "man" working alone on this ship.
Although he is only a wisp of spiritual power in his body, he is still different from those cold puppet robots. He is a doppelganger, a "pseudo-being" with the ability to think.
"The re-entry signal from the nearest planet, No. 18995, is back, and the surface of the planet is covered with a thick layer of ice...... The temperature is very low...... Doesn't seem to be a good fit for development. Ten minutes later, the puppet robot on the post reported loudly.
