Chapter 204 - 204 204 Colony

?Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Colony Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Colony Before this detection activity, scientists had launched several artificial satellites in advance, trying to use remote sensing technology to discover mineral deposits exposed on the surface. Over the past few days, most of the data of the entire planet had already been collected, and indeed, many types of minerals had been found.

However, the demands for minerals were high, not just in terms of abundance but also in terms of transportation considerations. It was not possible for the mineral deposits to be scattered about, one here, one there; if each site was thousands of kilometers apart, transportation would be troublesome. It was preferable to have them concentrated within a radius of one hundred kilometers. This would greatly simplify railway construction.

Due to the reliance on satellite detection, the accuracy decreased with increasing depth. Most of the minerals on the planet were hidden underground, so another simple technology still had to be relied upon—planetary impact!

Heavy objects were dropped from a high altitude, striking the planet rapidly, and then analyzing the dust raised could determine the specific composition of the rocks and soil.

Among these, the crucial minerals were water resources and organic matter.

Theoretically, this planet was not short of metals; it lacked only these two things.

“The surface temperature variation is too significant; it’s impossible for there to be moisture on the surface… thus water resources are likely hidden deeper underground, possibly in the form of ice blocks. We’ve found large quantities of ice mines at the south and north poles of the planet. However, the poles are too far from the spaceship’s stopping point, and transportation is not convenient.”

“As for organic compounds, these are of utmost importance in this detection. Whether for the production of carbon fiber, or for the growth and development of plants, humans, and animals, all require the support of organic matter…”
