However, a few geologists stayed behind, eager to submit their geological reports to Jason.
"Is it something important?" he asked casually, taking the physical report and examining it with patient care.
The geologists had indeed uncovered several highly unusual planetary features.
First, just as William had noted, no viable uranium veins had been found on the surface!
It wasn't that the planet was entirely devoid of uranium, but the deposits they had discovered were of incredibly low quality with minuscule reserves, rendering them practically worthless for large-scale mining.
Over the past few months, automated drones and countless reconnaissance robots had mapped a landmass roughly half the size of Australia, yet they still hadn't found any high-yield uranium deposits.
Perhaps massive veins existed, but they were buried so deep underground that the surface scanners simply couldn't detect them.
