It was raining.
On the second day of the development, a light rain began to fall.
Yes, there was also rain on Titan.
However, the rain on Titan wasn’t made of water, but liquid methane.
There were also lakes and small rivers, all made of liquid methane.
It gradually rained hard, and the workers had to return to their tents to rest. They had to postpone their plan until the rain stopped.
Seeing the heavy rain, everyone had a strange feeling.
It was like back to the past, to the era of carefree lives on the earth.
“We have no homes.”
Chase thought sadly: “And not many humans.”
“We are just 110, 000 people, how much longer can we survive?”
With heavy rain, Chase’s mind kept turning in an endless loop.
For the first time, he put his frenzied large-scale development and construction aside and began to think about other things.
It was also because of the rise of his Jay Sis Technology, coupled with the domestic system, that many top technologies could not be sold to Western powers like Country M, causing them to feel unbalanced. Therefore, they developed biochemical weapons and wanted to catch up with and surpass.
Unexpectedly, it came up with the D virus, forcing human beings unable to survive on the earth and had to wander in the universe.
It seemed that all of these were preordained.
Or, was there a hand from the God that controlled the destiny of humankind?
Chase looked up at the sky. Through the rain, the sky was still gray.
But didn’t know why Chase seemed to with a heavy heart.
Magic bead, technology in the future
It seemed that there was a hand controlling the Lan family, deliberately sent that bead to him.
Whether others believed it or not, Chase believed that there were other humans or other higher beings in the universe.
Just because of the magical bead he had in his hand.
He was sure that besides these 110, 000 people, besides the Divine Land Spacecraft, there should be other advanced civilizations in the universe.
Otherwise, he couldn’t explain this magical bead.
This rain lasted for three days.
The rising water level of the lake almost submerged The Hope.
However, Chase and others were not worried; they were quite confident about their spacecraft’s airtightness. Moreover, the lake water would recede sooner or later. And as for now, they could collect some liquid methane as a reserve.
The liquid methane here was inexhaustible. It was enough to decompose and extract the deuterium raw materials for them to reach Proxima b.
In the next year, Chase and others worked on Titan mining, smelted, rebuilt The Hope, and built housing for ordinary people on the second floor. Except for a few older adults, everyone in the spacecraft took action.
Over the past year, several large mines such as tin, gold, silver, silicon, chromium, and nickel have also been exploited.
For the continuation of humankind, and to have enough energy to reach Proxima b in the next few years of space flight, everyone has shown their super enthusiasm.
Over the past year, the Academy of Sciences has made significant progress, and the most typical one was the upgrade of intelligent robots, which could bring people to mine at the bottom of the hole.
And many difficult tasks were all handed over to intelligent robots.
The cost of making robots was still quite high; so far, they only built 500 intelligent robots in the past year.
However, due to richness resources on Titan, Chase intended to stay here for two more years before leaving.
Because after leaving the solar system, they could only replenish resources after reaching Proxima b. They now could use the abundant resources on Titan to develop the technology.
At this time, in The Hope, every family on the second floor had a suite, and they could use water for bathing.
In the beginning, due to energy shortages, even senior leaders couldn’t use water at will, let alone ordinary people on the second floor.
Regardless of the problem of energy conservation, except for heavy-duty workers who would sweat every day, everyone else was restricted to taking a bath once every two days.
It was on the spacecraft, and everything must be converted by energy. Even if the energy was abundant now, they couldn’t use it unlimitedly.
However, as more energy was collected, the ecosystem of the fifth layer has become better. The previous luxury foods, such as meat, eggs, and milk, have gradually been listed on the farmers’ market on the second floor. Slowly, some rich men could afford these luxury goods.
“Captain, there is bad news. I think you should come and have a look.”
Chase was patrolling the mining area and received a message from Dasin.
“Okay, I’ll go back to The Hope,” Chase replied, and walked to the Titan inspection car and asked Tate to send him back to the Hope.
This year, they have built countless trucks, mainly for the transportation of ore.
Of course, they also built several patrol vehicles for senior leaders to inspect.
Back on The Hope, Chase went straight to the scientific research department and then saw Dasin and others watching something in front of the telescope.
Seeing Chase coming back, Dasin pointed to the computer screen and said: “We found an asteroid headed on Titan’s direction. This asteroid is about 20 kilometers straight. With its current speed, as long as it hits Titan, the entire Titan system will be changed.
Although Titan will not explode, it will cause a massive earthquake, and The Hope may be destroyed by that time. ”
Chase stared at the computer screen, and there was an asteroid flying towards them.
“When will it reach Titan?” Chase asked.
“One day, to be exact, up to twelve hours,” Dasin said with a solemn face.
“Twelve hours? And you just found it now?” Chase frowned and said.
“This asteroid is a bit weird. We didn’t notice it before, and we don’t know how or where it came. It feels like it suddenly appeared.” Dasin also said helplessly.
Chase’s forehead knotted in a frown.
It stands to reason that with their advanced level of technology and telescopes, they could observe many stars outside the galaxy, and it would be impossible for them to discover a planet in the solar system.
And they only found it when it was not far from them, which was inconceivable.
Let alone their current technology, even their observation technology before leaving the earth was enough to discover the trajectory of asteroids in ten years from now.
“Could this asteroid suddenly appear out of nowhere?”
Chase frowned, with a bad premonition in his heart.
