Chapter 150 – Do You Want to Wipe That as Well?
This was a spectacular scene beyond human imagination, and no words could be used to describe it.
As the pressure accumulated within Jupiter II for hundreds of millions of years found a release, it resulted in a water column with a diameter exceeding 10 kilometers being created. And in the moon’s near-vacuum and frigid atmosphere, the ejected water boiled, evaporated, sublimated, and solidified, before being destroyed by the subsequent “latecomers,” restarting the entire process again.
In addition, when the ejected seawater reached the highest point of the water column, it would also break away from Jupiter II’s gravitational field and subsequently captured by the distant gas giant’s gravity. As this process got repeated one time after another, a line made of solid and gas appeared to be “stretching” toward Jupiter.
If one looked from afar, they would find this scene to be beautiful and captivating. No artist would be capable of creating such a soul-stirring work.
[How magical.]
[No movie can replicate this scene.]
[Have you never seen a supernova before? I was at the scene of one. It was much more shocking!]
[How can water pressure possibly tear through an ice layer that’s 100 kilometers thick? This is obviously fake. This scene has just exposed the program’s use of computer special effects.]
[We all possess human brains, so how can you be so dumb?]
[I feel that UP will one day detonate a star…]
[Am I the only one to notice that the astronauts are gone?]
[Host, what are you daydreaming for! Time to go fishing!]
Boom… Boom… Boom…
Amidst the deafening roar of the ocean, Chen Yu flew higher and farther from the water column. Simultaneously, he also searched for the two unlucky astronauts.
However, even after searching for over 10 minutes, he still hadn’t found a trace of the Life Sphere.
“This is a little troublesome.” Facing the camera, Chen Yu awkwardly said, “The water column is too large. Trying to find the Life Sphere in it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Moreover, they might’ve been shot into space already. That will make it even more impossible to locate them…”
The sudden “bad news” caught the excited audience completely off-guard, and they could not help but feel a chill crawl down their spines.
“Of course, that is only true if I limited myself to my eyes. It is still possible to locate them using other more troublesome means.” After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out the lightsaber from his storage. He then flew toward the freezing water column.
“I need some help. People from the aerospace institute that are watching the stream, prepare a radiolocation device for me. The sooner, the better.
“I’ll head back to Earth immediately.”
…
Boom…
The closer Chen Yu got to the water column, the louder the tremors became.
However, as seawater continued being ejected from Jupiter II, the pressure the ice layer was subjected to gradually decreased, and the size of the water column began shrinking. Simultaneously, the water column’s outermost layer that had lost pressure started forming a permanent “wall” that enveloped the shrinking water column.
Taking advantage of this situation, Chen Yu flew at the solidified ice wall and smashed his fist onto its surface.
Boom!
Several cracks appeared on the frozen surface.
The water froze to such an extent already?
Seeing this, Chen Yu had no choice but to use the High-frequency Lightsaber again to continue advancing.
Whoosh—
The lightsaber was unstoppable. In less than half a minute, Chen Yu had pierced through the ice wall and entered the actual water column. He was then propelled upward by the immense water pressure.
Powering down his lightsaber and revving up the plasma engine, Chen Yu chose to face the terrifying water pressure head-on and propelled himself down toward the Interstellar Portal’s location.
While diving downward, he also did not forget to explain the situation to his audience to prevent awkward silence.
“The Interstellar Portal is a spatial technology product. Its position is firmly fixed at a point on the dimensional space system, with the host planet’s gravitational force being used as a reference. Hence, regardless of how strong the water pressure is, it wouldn’t be capable of moving the Interstellar Portal. Meanwhile, so long as we teleport back to Earth and return with a scanning device, everything will be alright.”
As Chen Yu was contending with the water pressure, his speed of advance was languid.
Fortunately, the water column was no longer in its initial burst phase, and its pressure had dropped drastically. After struggling for a dozen minutes or so, Chen Yu was finally able to see Interstellar Portal suspended in the water column.
“We’re here. That sure was a difficult journey. Speaking of, this situation truly is amazing. A small hole of one-meter diameter was actually capable of causing such a huge chain reaction.”
Further accelerating, Chen Yu shot through the portal and arrived back on Earth’s Phoenix Mountain. Without resting, he approached the captain of the armed soldiers and said, “Contact your superiors and tell them to give me the aerospace institute’s address. I’ll head over immediately.”
“Yes, sir.”
The soldier treated Chen Yu as if he were his senior officer. After saluting, the soldier took out his communicator and contacted his superior.
“My King, what about the two other people?” Little Peach asked suspiciously as she approached Chen Yu and eyed the water world inside the portal.
“They’re having an outer space honeymoon.”
Little Peach: “?”
“Mr. King!” The captain approached Chen Yu with large strides. He then presented Chen Yu with a neatly written note and said, “This is the aerospace institute’s detailed address.”
“Thanks.”
After receiving the note, Chen Yu quickly established a spatial link to the recorded address and stepped through the portal.
“He’s here!”
At the aerospace institute’s square, over a hundred people had long since gathered here. As soon as they saw the Interstellar Portal appearing, they promptly rushed up to the metal arch.
“Hello, it is a great honor to meet you. I am the aerospace research institute’s director. My name is Zhao-”
“Where’s the thing?” Chen Yu disrespectfully interrupted the elderly man’s words. Stretching out his hand, he demanded, “Give it to me.”
“Ah… Ah, here! Here it is!”
After being briefly stupefied, the old man hurriedly passed a device resembling an old-fashioned cellular phone to Chen Yu and explained, “You can determine the position of the astronauts using this device. Their spacesuits are equipped with automatic positioning transmitters, so there is no need to use radiolocation to locate them.”
“How do I use it?”
“Simple. There are a total of 12 indicator lights corresponding to 12 different directions. You just need to follow the direction of whichever indicator is lit up.”
“Okay.”
Nodding, Chen Yu turned around and started reestablishing a spatial link to Jupiter II.
Taking advantage of this “extremely precious” opportunity, the institute director made a sidelong glance. Immediately afterward, a beautiful young lady fully clad in a protective suit rushed forward and started graciously wiping down Chen Yu’s armor with a white cloth.
“Huh?”
Feeling a little dazed, Chen Yu asked, “What are you doing?”
“I-I’m wiping the dirty water for you. You’ll look more majestic once you’re clean,” the girl shyly replied, her hands not slowing down at the slightest.
“Oh, you provide this kind of service as well? Not bad, not bad. But why do I feel as if there are steel wires inside your towel? I keep hearing scratching sounds.”
“N-No! There are absolutely no steel wires in it!” the girl sternly assured. Inwardly, though, she muttered to herself, There are only razor blades…
“Wipe the inner thighs too, then,” Chen Yu said as he spread his legs.
“Okay, okay!” The girl grew overjoyed and hurriedly nodded her head. She then squatted down and said, “I’ll wipe the crotch as well.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Chen Yu flatly refused. He then turned toward the old director and asked, “Right, what did you say your name was just now?”
“M-My name is Zhao Dabao.”[1]
“What a blessed name.”
“Thank you…”
After several more seconds passed, Chen Yu pushed the girl away and said, “The spatial link is established. I’m leaving.”
“I just finished as well. Y-You can go now.”
“Mhm.”
Nodding, Chen Yu stopped wasting time and stepped through the portal.
After seeing Chen Yu’s departure, the old director could no longer suppress his excitement as he said, “Quick! Head to the lab and separate the blades from the towel! See if there’s anything on them!”
“D-Director, are we not going to wait for the astronauts here?”
“Those two brats are still alive and kicking! Forget about them! Now, hurry!”
“…”
“I have a hunch that we’re going to make a big discovery! Oh, bring a knife here as well. See if we can scrape anything off this portal…”
