As the Morning Star slowly entered the atmosphere of its "new home," Lin Xia felt the spacecraft drift like a feather on the current. The azure outside the porthole gradually grew clearer, the white clouds pierced by the spacecraft, revealing the rolling green mountains below. Blue lakes dotted the mountains like scattered sapphires. The alarms in the control cabin had long since died down, and the data on the dashboards were normal, as if the planet was gently welcoming them.

Chen Ye was busy debugging the lander's navigation system, the veins on his forehead bulging slightly with concentration. "We'll reach the designated landing point in 30 minutes." He looked up at Lin Xia, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Engineer Su has tested the atmospheric composition, and the oxygen content is 21%, almost identical to Earth's pristine environment."

Lin Xia's gaze fell on the observation screen, which displayed a three-dimensional image of the landing site—a vast plain. In its center stood a silver building, shaped like a giant ring encased in a triangle, the very symbol of the "Watcher." Small greenhouses dotted the building, filled with green plants, vibrant in the sunlight.

"I wonder how the advance team is doing," Lin Xia whispered, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the metal box on her chest. The memory crystal had grown dim, like an old man who had completed his mission. She recalled the materials on extraterrestrial colonization in her mother's laboratory, which said that the most difficult part of establishing a new home wasn't technology, but trust between people.
