At this moment, according to the orbital data about Yushen that Han Yang searched, the remaining voyage is about 36 billion kilometers.

The telescope on the Hope spacecraft still cannot see the figure of Jade God at this moment. Even though the voyage has entered the final stage at this moment.

Because this distance at this moment is still about seven times the distance from the Earth to Pluto.

Too far, really too far.

Han Yang finally realized the vastness of the universe.

In the past, these distances were just numbers to Han Yang, lacking intuitive understanding. But at this moment, after actually going on an interstellar journey, Han Yang had such a real feeling.

And that's just within the solar system.

On a cosmic scale, Ephemera and the Earth are almost right next to each other. But even this small distance is already so far away.

The Hope spacecraft began to decelerate with all its strength.

Time passed slowly, and when there was only one month left before the end of the scheduled voyage, the speed of the Hope spacecraft dropped to 1,030 kilometers per second, and the distance to Elysium dropped to about 1.3 billion kilometers.

At this time, the telescope on the Hope spacecraft vaguely captured a small bright spot.

That is the Jade God.

Based on the visual coordinates, Han Yang began to accurately adjust the course of the Hope spacecraft. Finally, at a distance of about 100 kilometers from the surface of Elysium, the speed of the Hope spacecraft dropped to only 600 meters per second relative to the planet. successfully entered its orbit.

At this speed, the Hope spacecraft can orbit it in about 2 hours and 42 minutes.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Han Yang through the telescope was an extremely magical world.

Ephesus is more than 220 billion kilometers away from the sun. But even at such a distance, the sun is still extremely bright when seen from here.

Its brightness reaches magnitude -10.94.

This brightness is about one-fifth of the full moon seen from the earth, and more than 260 times the brightness of Venus, the brightest star that can be seen from the earth.

This brightness is enough to illuminate the land of Jade God, and even cast an obvious shadow.

The power of the sun is clearly revealed in this way.

Illuminated by the sun, the earth of Ephemera shows a dark red color.

Han Yang, who had studied continuously from thousands of teachers, knew that it was the color of Tuolin.

Thorin is a complex copolymer molecule that can only be formed on distant, icy dwarf planets and has no equivalent on Earth.

It is organic and can burn. Theoretically, Han Yang could generate electricity by burning tholin. However, Han Yang, who specially brought a nuclear fusion reactor with him on this trip, naturally looked down upon this backward method of power generation.

On the dark red earth, there are undulating mountains, crisscrossing ravines, and dense impact craters.

The surface of this small planet is not flat, and it is even difficult to find a place that can be called a plain.

If it had an atmosphere, the mountains would probably be blown flat by wind and erosion. And because it is too small and has no crustal movement, it should take on a more regular spherical shape.

It's a pity that it doesn't have an atmosphere in a macro sense, so its surface can only be so uneven.

But this is a good thing for Han Yang.

What you want is unevenness.

Han Yang thought secretly, and after the Hope spacecraft entered orbit, he immediately remotely controlled the robot to open the belly of the spacecraft.

There is a small landing spacecraft there, as well as some resource exploration satellites.

The resource exploration satellite was released, away from the Hope spacecraft, and began to comprehensively survey the planet's surface landforms and resource reserves. The landing spacecraft descended to the surface of the planet and began on-site investigation.

The results of the survey made Han Yang quite satisfied.

Jade Star is indeed a planet of little value. The specific manifestation of its worthlessness is that there are mineral resources everywhere in the universe, such as silicon, iron, aluminum, etc., and there are also many of them.

There are few resources in the universe, such as gold, silver, rare earths, etc. There are either none at all, or there are only a little bit, and they have no mining value.

But this disadvantage can be overcome for Han Yang.

Han Yang can draw bulk resources locally from this planet. Rare resources are used in smaller amounts and can be shipped directly from the earth.

This is also the significance of the existence of the revived transport fleet.

It took Han Yang half a month to survey the Jade God Planet's land totaling approximately 8.45 million square kilometers.

After picking and choosing, Han Yang finally chose a huge canyon above the Jade God as the place to build his first base.

It is a huge canyon that is more than a thousand kilometers long, more than 20 kilometers wide at its widest point, and 4 kilometers deep at its deepest point, with an average depth of about 500 meters.

There are abundant mineral resources here, and large amounts of minerals can be obtained locally.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that when there are more bases in the future, Han Yang can build a lid on this canyon to create a layer of concealment.

In this way, even if the Eta people's detector comes, without careful observation, it is impossible to detect that there is a huge base on this small planet.

This maximizes security and concealment.

After determining the target location, in the cargo hold of the Hope spacecraft, dozens of robots jointly pushed a standard cargo box with a mass of hundreds of tons and fixed it to another larger landing spacecraft.

The belly door of the Hope spacecraft opened, and the landing spacecraft took the cargo compartment and landed towards the canyon.

Some robots that landed here in advance have completed the initial leveling of the site.

They used electric heating to directly dry the dry ice, solid methane hydroxide, etc. that had solidified on the surface and turned into solid ice. They also used machinery to cut some stones and brought sand and gravel to fill the depression, which is about the size of a football field. A large amount of flat ground was cleared.

The ion thruster on the landing spacecraft continued to reduce its speed, allowing the cargo compartment to be placed smoothly on the ground. The other robots immediately stepped forward, untied the cables, and the landing spacecraft flew away.

The warehouse was opened by the robot, and more robots came out.

Warehouses were being transported one after another. In a short period of time, there were more than a thousand robots gathered here, and more and more various parts and equipment were piled aside.

High-power searchlights were set up, and more than a thousand robots began to work.

Under the direct control of Han Yang, these robots are like old skilled workers who have been working with each other for decades, and they cooperate with each other to the extreme.

In less than a day, a small base covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters and a height of five meters has been built.
