On a terrestrial planet at the edge of the Swan galaxy, the environment is extremely harsh, and almost no life can survive here. Its atmosphere is full of toxic gases, and the air is filled with a pungent odor. There are no green plants or clear water sources here. The ground is covered with bare rocks and sand, resembling a lifeless desert.
The climate on this planet is extremely harsh, with daytime temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees and dropping to tens of degrees below zero at night. It is difficult to imagine that any human could survive in such extreme temperatures.
A humanoid figure is in a partially collapsed rock cave, which is like a labyrinth, twisting and complex, making people dizzy. In this dark world, the cave is like a huge maze, with countless secrets and dangers hidden in every corner. This humanoid figure can only rely on intuition to move forward.
Although the humanoid figure is naked, he runs through the cave like a wild animal, unaffected by the steep rock walls. His body is agile and nimble, able to climb freely on the rock wall and even crawl on the cave ceiling like a gecko. His eyes sparkle with dazzling light, seeming unstoppable against any difficulties.
Despite the dangers and unknowns in the cave, he is fearless. He knows that only through constant effort and exploration can he find enough water sources and obtain a chance to escape. He has found a few drops of drinkable water, and as long as he finds two more drops, he will have enough ability to make his next escape.
On this solitary planet, full of violence, heat waves, coldness, and lifelessness, he is alone and has been forced to adapt to this cruel environment since he was young.
The coldness of the night is gradually replaced by the increasingly violent sun, and hot air begins to pour into the cave. He finally finds five drops of water in such extreme temperatures, and the extra three drops of water are an unexpected joy for him. He knows that only by maintaining enough water sources can he hide in volcanic ash to avoid disaster during the next crustal upheaval.
This figure carefully sucks each drop of water into his throat and hangs it on the wall of his trachea without absorbing it. Here, having a water source means survival.
On this planet full of extreme environments, the meaning of life is more important than anything else. In order to survive, he must steadfastly pursue survival. This is the only way to express the meaning of life and what he instinctively does.
This humanoid figure has a strong will to survive and can survive in the most adverse environments. A long time ago, water droplets would accumulate in the cave every morning, and crustal upheavals only occurred occasionally. Today, crustal upheavals occur every day. When he was young, there would be exciting water mist emanating from the cave, but now it is just a bare patch.
After absorbing enough water, the figure lies on the cold stone, hiding his mind deep in his soul. His heartbeat and pulse stop beating. The rumbling of the planet's crust warns him that a violent crustal upheaval is brewing on this planet. The figure shields his heart with his hand, with nothing but a firm belief and will to survive.

At the same time, a massive black spacecraft, a "Mo-Star class" combat ship of the Galactic Alliance, suddenly appears in the outer space of this terrestrial planet. It is ranked third in the Galactic Alliance's combat ship sequence. After the Zeta Star battle, the Galactic Alliance suffered heavy losses, and the number of third-level combat ships was reduced to just over a hundred. The catastrophic defeat and shame of that battle is something that all members of the Galactic Alliance hope to forget.
The hull number U3-173 of the "Mo-Star class" combat spacecraft gradually slows down to half the speed of sub-light speed after transitioning from antimatter space to normal space, flying towards this terrestrial planet. The over two thousand crew members of the "Mo-Star class" U3-173 combat spacecraft awaken from hibernation. At the same time, the internal circulation system of the "Mo-Star class" U3-173 combat spacecraft automatically injects fresh air into the cabin, and the virtual gravity system starts to operate, allowing crew members to move around with U3-173 spacecraft surface as the reference.
The main cockpit of the "Mo-Star class" U3-173 combat spacecraft has a giant panoramic window. Looking out from the window, you can see two stars at the center of the Cygnus galaxy twinkling. Originally, there were only eight planets revolving around the two stars at the center of the Cygnus galaxy, and the disappeared planets were swallowed up by the helium flashes released by the two stars and disappeared into the void.
The instruments in the main cockpit of the "Mo-Star class" U3-173 combat spacecraft begin to operate one after another. The filtering system of the panoramic window can filter out harmful light, allowing crew members to observe the two stars with their naked eyes, and they can also see spectral analysis, energy readings, and dynamic diagrams of radiation wavelength rates displayed on both sides of the panoramic window. At the back of the spacious main cockpit is a command post that can be raised or lowered at will. Admiral Samuel White sits in his comfortable synthetic leather chair. Samuel White is tall and wears a neat uniform, looking very tidy and clean. His facial features are distinct, his facial features are correct, and he has a neat short haircut. Although his posture is somewhat lazy, his figure still looks very tall and straight, exuding confidence and majesty. His eyes are deep and shining with sharp light, as if he can see through people's hearts.
Samuel White concentrates on staring at the binary star system in the Cygnus galaxy, imagining the terrible scenes on planets in the galaxy and lifeless dead worlds. Each planet represents an independent world.
On the command post, a communication officer reports to Samuel White that Explorer No.1's information has been lost. Samuel White frowned and issued an order to continue searching and exploring. At the same time, in response to the increasing helium flash radiation, the spacecraft entered a state of alert, and the magnetic shield was activated.
Samuel White deeply understands the importance of patience and caution, which also made him one of the survivors of the Zeta Star battle. Samuel White left the main cockpit and went to the captain's quarters. The captain's quarters are one of the forbidden areas on board, developed by the Galactic Alliance at great expense. Even if a combat spacecraft is destroyed, as long as the captain's quarters are not destroyed, they can become a huge escape capsule to help the captain escape danger.
After entering the captain's quarters, Samuel White opened the secret communication screen inside and said to the figure on the other side of the screen, "The signal of Explorer One has been lost."
