After admiring the unique starry sky of the new galaxy, Leo and Carol returned to the cruiser and came to the cockpit. They saw Talos and Norox lying on the glass of the cabin, looking longingly not far away.
blue-green planet.
Obviously, these two Skrulls who longed for a new home must have been very excited when they saw the planet they longed for and could live on.
It was Talos who first noticed that Leo and Carol had returned. He couldn't wait to point to the blue-green planet outside the transparent glass: "What's the name of this planet? Mr. Erwin."
This question stopped Leo. He really didn't have time to name the planet under his feet.
But this planet must have a name, and it must be named by him. Otherwise, if the Skrulls were to name the planet, he would not be considered a senior captain.
So Leo thought for a moment and smiled lightly: "It's called Io, Io Star."
"Io? It's a good name. It sounds nice." Talos nodded with satisfaction and kept mumbling.
Leo breathed a sigh of relief, finally maintaining his status as a senior golf captain.
The name Io actually comes from a MOBA game that he liked to play in his previous life. One of the heroes in it was called Io, and he was a ball, which fit the situation very well.
"Fortunately, it came into use." A certain person thought in his mind, "It seems that playing games in the previous life was demoralizing, but it actually has some effect."
But even so, if Leo was given a chance to live in college again, he would still be willing to read more books. Of course, the ideal is wonderful, but it is unclear whether this would be the case in reality.
In order to better disguise himself as a senior ball leader, Leo continued to talk nonsense: "The star in the center of the galaxy is still called the sun, the one closest to the sun is called the sun, and the second closest star is called the polar star.
The third closest star is the one under our feet, called Io."
Anyway, the entire galaxy is unnamed. Leo's words are like talking about the universe, and a series of stars have their own good or bad names.
"What about the more distant planets? What are they called?" Carol took over the conversation and posed a problem for Leo.
Leo couldn't make up any more: "I haven't thought about the names of the next few planets. If you have any suggestions, please tell me directly and I can consider adopting them. But I think Talos can't wait to go to his new home, so I decided to name them.
We’ll discuss the matter later, let’s land on Io star first.”
"Yes, let's land first." Talos, who was in high spirits, helped Leo get out of the way. The cruiser quickly lowered its altitude and passed through the atmosphere of Io in an instant.
However, after entering the atmosphere, Talos did not rush to find a place to land. Instead, he drove the cruiser and flew around the entire planet while he was surveying the terrain.
Sure enough, people who are prepared do things differently.
The Skrulls' plan to open up wasteland has been prepared for hundreds of years. In the cockpit, Naurox was fiddling with one of the newly processed instruments he had made in recent days, conducting suggested surveys on the ground.
Leo was not in a hurry. He took this opportunity to inspect the planet under his name for the first time.
The cruiser was very fast, and it took less than half an hour to circle the entire planet.
Leo looked all the way and learned the basic situation of the entire planet in more detail.
In general, this is an Earth-like planet that also has an axis of rotation, and there are two poles near the axis.
The area near the pole does not receive direct sunlight, so it is as cold as the earth near the pole. Similar to the earth, one of the two poles is an ocean and the other is land.
The land is naturally covered with an astonishing thickness of ice and snow, which is thirty meters thick. Underneath is the bare frozen soil. Naurux's modified cruiser could easily detect this with a detector.
The unique geographical structure of Io provided Leo with a great convenience, that is, he casually defined the direction of the frozen polar regions as the south of Io, thus easily defining the southeast direction.
The four northwest directions.
There is no concept of north, south, east, west, or north in space, and defining north and south based on the direction in which Io orbits the sun is even more nonsense.
After all, if the cruiser is controlled to flip 180 degrees directly, due to the gravity system of the spacecraft, the up, down, left, and right that Leo feels in the spacecraft will not change, but the revolution direction of Io will be reversed in an instant.
Fortunately, Io has a geographical environment similar to that of the Earth, which allows Leo, the nominal captain of the planet, to spend less time setting the basic specifications for this planet.
In order to maintain his image as a senior golf captain, Leo told Talos and others about the east, west, north, and south that he had just defined a second ago.
Talos and others did not know the truth, so they shouted 666 excitedly, admiring and trusting Leo even more.
After exploring the entire planet, Naurox has determined countless suitable sites for land reclamation based on a series of algorithms.
He held a holographic projector and said excitedly:
"General Talos, according to the data from the exploration, this planet is very large, rich in resources, and the atmosphere is non-toxic and suitable for Skrulls to breathe. The deviation of the oxygen content from the home planet is only 1.8%. As long as the Skrulls adapt for a period of time,
People can survive here very well.”
Naurux continued to shake his head,
"I simply drew a topographic map of Io based on the distribution of resources. Currently, there are 352 starting points that are suitable for pioneering. I have selected 9 of them. You, the general, need to decide where to start."
Talos was not busy making a decision, but looked at Leo's nominal captain.
Leo was very satisfied with Talos's discerning attitude. He leaned in front of the holographic projection and looked at the "simple" terrain map drawn by Naurox.
Darling! This simple topographic map is not simple at all.
In addition to plains, mountains, hills, oceans, lakes and other areas being clearly marked, which types of plants and animals are mainly found in which places have been roughly classified.
With their high technology, the Skrulls spent half an hour circling Io, and the information they detected was already equivalent to all the Earth maps detected since the beginning of human civilization.
So, high technology is really scary.
To be honest, Leo was a little shocked. He didn't expect the so-called pioneering of the Skrulls to be like this.
At this rate, let alone five or ten years, Leo felt that the Skrulls would be able to build a steel city in even ten months.
The originally grandiose leap-forward development was not a dream at all, they could even make it a leap-forward development!
In a few years, the Skrulls will be able to turn Io into their backyard!
There is no doubt that with the assistance of various high-tech and instruments on the cruise ship, they can easily do all this.
"No, this earth is mine, and I can't let them waste all the resources so quickly." Leo thought to himself.
So, Leo spoke seriously:
"Taros, you have too few Skrulls now, and the original environment of Io needs to be maintained. Therefore, I want to limit your normal activity range to 100 square kilometers, and the area where resources can be exploited is limited.
Within an area of 1,000 square kilometers.
When your population exceeds 10,000, I can give you more areas to develop."
Leo is actually very generous. An area of 100 square kilometers is definitely enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
With their current group size of less than a hundred people, they actually don't even use 1 square kilometer of land.
Talos naturally understood this and had no objection to Leo's arrangement.
Although they have a high level of technology, their numbers are only so small, so there is no need to go against Leo's wishes and invade more land.
As for the larger number of people, waiting until their group reaches 10,000 people will not be something that can be solved in ten or twenty years, so there is no need to worry.
With the standards given by Leo, Talos immediately selected a pioneering point.
