"I heard you were looking for me, what's going on?"

The most concise meeting you have ever seen is the one led by Zeng Li, and there is never any nonsense.

Every time I have to be stunned for a moment before I can react.

The researcher from Sanshui Country spoke first. "Leader Zeng, the analysis results of the volcanic rocks are in, and they show the presence of quartz. This requires volcanic eruptions and large amounts of water to form. However, we haven't found much water on Mars yet. Is it because we haven't found it, or did Mars once have abundant water resources? We need more precise instruments to explore other parts of Mars. Can you provide better instruments than the rover?"

Before Zeng Li could answer, Shi Xinguo immediately asked, "Most areas are too barren. How do we plan to transform them? What kind of large trees can be successfully grown on Mars? Do you have any solutions to this problem?"

Those who didn't know might have thought it was an interview. Zeng Li didn't even have a chance to speak before the British researcher immediately spoke up, "The glacial lake you mentioned last time, will it release unknown viruses after it melts? Another question: what if this glacial lake has existed for a very long time, hundreds of millions of years? What does the lake bottom look like? Can we use any equipment to see what's happening in advance? We can't rule out the possibility of higher life forms. If so, will our plan be shelved? We've invested a lot of time and money."

Russia also spoke up: "Did you know there's methane on Mars? Methane can't be constantly present in the atmosphere. If it were, it would mean that somewhere is constantly emitting methane. Have you done any research in advance? If so, could you share the data?"

Not wanting to be left behind, the Xiba Nation immediately raised a question when they saw the opportunity: "Usually, it's caused by volcanic eruptions or microbial secretions, but there are currently no active volcanoes. So... after all the calculations, we still can't rule out the possibility of higher life forms trying to compete with them for territory?"

Zeng Li had a blank expression on her face as she listened to their questions and thought about how to trick them...

But it seems that it is not easy to fool them at the moment. We need to give them something real, otherwise we can’t keep these people stable.

I made a pause gesture, otherwise there would be more and more questions.

"Let's first talk about why we chose Mars."

"We all know that for a planet to nurture or sustain life, three basic conditions are required."

"First, liquid water, the basis of life."

"Secondly, suitable temperature. If the temperature in our activity area is not suitable, we will not be able to metabolize."

"Third, the necessary chemical elements, such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, ammonia, etc. These elements form the basis of life molecules and are indispensable."

Zeng Li had no manuscripts or computers. She looked at everyone while speaking, explaining the knowledge points in her mind.

"With our current level of technology, it's unrealistic to escape the solar system."

"So our immigration plan can only be carried out within the solar system, so next we will use the process of elimination."

"Venus' diameter, mass, and density are closest to Earth's, and its gravity is also very similar. However, the environment is too harsh, with surface pressure reaching 92 times that of Earth. Ordinary people cannot withstand this pressure. But that's not the point. The point is that Venus' surface temperature is over 400 degrees Celsius, which means there is not even a drop of liquid water. How can it be habitable? It's impossible, right?"

"Then let's look at Mercury. Need I explain more? It's too close to the sun, not even in the habitable zone."

"Mars is our first choice."

Yi Xian took Zeng Li's thermos cup and went on stage, whispering, "Leader, it's warm. You can drink it now to moisten your throat."

Zeng Li opened it and drank most of it before continuing, "Mars is perfectly located in the habitable zone, and its orbital and rotational periods are very similar to Earth's. Its day is 24 hours and 39 minutes, almost identical to Earth's day and night cycle. Therefore, you can also see the sun rise in the east and set in the west on Mars. Did everyone see this during the live broadcast a few days ago?"

"Your problems can be solved slowly, but my point is that we have no other choice but Mars, at least for now. We must overcome any difficulties we encounter, whether there are a hundred or a thousand problems. Otherwise, we will face extinction."

Zeng Li's words were very serious, as if the earth was definitely going to fail.

"Starting tomorrow, I will work with everyone to study this. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. I also hope that we can be partners who can solve problems together, rather than just raising issues unilaterally."

After the meeting, Zeng Li took Gu Luojin to Cangyuan.

It was already dark on Earth, and in Cangyuan it was just as the sun was setting. Countless flocks of unknown birds, large and small, were circling in the sky.

The sunset is not red, but orange, pink, and a little purple, very gorgeous.

"Stay with me and be my assistant on the Mars project. I'll give you a promotion when the project is finished."

Gu Luojin listened carefully, but it seemed as if he didn’t listen carefully, as his eyes were filled with the scenery of Cangyuan.

"Leader, I could only see it in the live broadcast room. When I stood here, I realized that Cangyuan is even more beautiful than what I saw in the live broadcast room."

“It’s a paradise.”

"The air is sweet."

"Boss, seriously, I'm not kidding at all."

Zeng Li understood this excitement and took the man to a yard: "This will be your home from now on."

Gu Luojin saw a small plaque at the door with the word "Gu" on it.

"Leader, can I hug you again?"

Zeng Li couldn't stand this atmosphere, especially since Gu Luojin now had tears in his eyes.

"If you have any questions, go find my mom, or you can find the robot. Get some rest first. I'm going home too. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally. No one is allowed to disturb me."

Turning his back to Gu Luojin, he walked towards home.
