Chapter 1163: Beautiful Planet
One side of water, one side of mountains...
When the spaceship came to a complete stop, Ji You, along with Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and others disembarked from the spaceship, their feet landed on a lush green meadow. Not far away, a babbling brook flowed, and a few white birds were preening their feathers by the stream. They were graceful and composed; even when they noticed Ji You and the others not far away, they showed no sign of fright and continued to preen their feathers calmly, occasionally fluttering their white wings...
In the sky, as blue as a washed sapphire, birds occasionally soared by...
Amidst the sound of chirping insects and birds, the fragrance of green grass and the scent of soil filled the air...
This scene before them was so beautiful that Ji You and the others almost thought they weren’t in the real world but rather in a holographic display on the Star Network. In today’s world, planets with such well-preserved environments are exceedingly rare. The majority of planets inhabited by humans have more or less suffered severe damage from cosmic radiation, with the ecology nearly destroyed, animals mutated into Star Beasts, and plants dying in large numbers...
Natural plants and animals almost entirely rely on artificial protection to grow.
However, the planet before them seemed completely devoid of artificial traces, as if everything was native-born.
Principal Hong and Dr. Luo stayed inside the spaceship and did not disembark. The other nine students, led by Ji You, all resembled country bumpkins entering the city, their eyes wide open, mouths agape, marveling at everything they saw.
Lou was the first to act without restraint; he suddenly squatted down, raising his hand to grab a handful of the green grass at his feet, only to be stopped by Lance beside him: "Don’t pluck it; this is naturally grown green grass, can you afford to pay for it if you pluck it?"
Lou’s fingers paused, immediately stopping, and he said, "Damn! You almost let me pluck it without saying anything."
After speaking, Lou impulsively ran his hand over the grass, face full of emotion: "These green grasses, the cows and sheep on the ranch must really love eating them."
"Sigh! Our school’s ranch is still too small in scale, and the grass grown in the pasture is mowed one batch after another, not enough for the cows and sheep to eat." Lance said, squatting down as well, staring at the green meadow, and said: "Cultivating such a vast expanse of green grass, while ensuring their growth environment is always good, must be quite costly."
