Chapter 248: The Deadly Starry Sky
Even after seeing countless photographs and 3D reconstructions of Jupiter, little Alexios was still struck by the indescribable landscape before him.
Through the porthole, he saw the sky above his head a myriad of twisted earthy yellow and blue lines, intertwined, overlapped, combined with laws beyond human comprehension, and huge stripes of distorted color spanned the sky, seemingly chaotic patterns, but as if they were silently pouring out something.
Little Alexios could hardly describe him with the words he knew, he could vaguely grasp the words in his heart, but he couldn't say them. Neither beauty, nor ugliness, neither appreciation, nor fear, he could not say what that word was or what the meaning behind it was.
Maybe it's an extreme shock, because on this incomparably magnificent picture, every small detail is bigger than the largest ocean on earth, the tiniest wind and waves are higher than Mount Everest, and each of those small particles is hundreds of kilometers in diameter, not to mention that there are incomparably huge storm vortices on Jupiter all the time, which can last for hundreds of years, longer than the lifespan of normal people, such a great existence has touched the limit of human understanding. It's like ants can never understand humans.
The shadow of a moon fell right in the center of a giant storm, like a giant eye, staring at him, and from then on, every red spot on Jupiter in his eye felt like an eye.
Those tentacle-like winding and folding lines are simply crazy to look at for a long time, but little Alexios can't take his eyes off, he has an illusion, he is falling into those giant eyes, they are as warm as the sun, as soft as water, these intimidating eyes are far less terrifying than the invisible eye that is staring at a certain place in the universe, since the attack of the crystal, little Alexios began to think about more things, he felt more and more that in the infinite cosmic space outside, Perhaps there is some kind of ideology, which is observing all this from moment to moment.
Jupiter was floating above him, the strange and beautiful patterns kept turning and changing, this was the first time the eight-eyed spider saw Jupiter, just like Nip had seen the sun before, and the first time the man trapped in the giant tin could looked at the sky, the intense feeling was indescribable. However, behind this amazing beauty, there is also a cold fact, the middle ring has not been supported for a long time, and the protective layer on the top layer has been severely cracked, which makes them look at the starry sky outside through the crack...... This huge rift will speed up the leakage of oxygen, and the remaining oxygen is being consumed rapidly, although the survivors are already repairing it quickly, but this repair is only a drop in the bucket, and it can't change the fate of the middle ring that is dying quickly.
They can't change it...... But someone can change the ......
The eight-eyed spider was standing on the top floor of the signal tower, he was very excited to receive Mark's signal, he never thought that that message really brought hope, that thin letter shining with the warm light of hope in the cold galaxy, brought them a helping hand that spanned more than thirty years. The eight-eyed spider had told Nip that he wouldn't interfere no matter what, but seeing that everyone was desperately trying to change their fate, he still gave in......
After all, this is one thing that no one can do except him, he handed over the key to the underground structure to Mark and them, this is the only thing he can do, he has been excluded from the power circle by his brothers, they are afraid of themselves, they are afraid of themselves, they are afraid that this extremely smart brother will move the interests that belong to them, but even so, it did not stop the action of the eight-eyed spider, and he followed the convenience of intelligence work to master a lot of information in his favor, including a lot of vital secrets, The secret of the underground structure is one of them.
"Come on, that's all we can do." The eight-eyed spider whispered as if praying, the screen in front of him was already pitch black, and after he sent out the key, the other side hung up the communication, not knowing what the situation was on their side......
"Ah, but the starry sky is really beautiful." The girl behind the eight-eyed spider sighed, her nerves praising the deadly starry sky, and every second a large amount of precious oxygen was flowing into the starry sky.
"You're not in a hurry at all." Little Alexios smiled bitterly, "And with a smile, it's obvious that your calculation was wrong, didn't you say that we still have a few months to live?" Now the plan is working, but if you look at the current situation, in less than a month we will be suffocating and we will have to hide in a closed room. ”
"How can I calculate so much detail."
"That means you're completely fooling around."
"Not really." Naile stuck out his tongue and smiled: "I just want to encourage them, I don't want people to perish in despair, I didn't expect to really succeed in the end, miscalculations are indeed my problem...... The rigid body limit of the middle ring is smaller than I thought. ”
"Well, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't be able to see the stars with our own eyes, would we?" The eight-eyed spider sat down next to Nella and took a big breath of precious air in obsession, "I never thought that one day I would be able to look at Jupiter like this, such a big and beautiful giant star is so close to us, but our eyes have been obscured by steel plates, and it is a pity that we have not seen its beauty for so many years." ”
"I've actually seen it once, when I took a spaceship to the space station to do research, but ...... It looks even better from this angle, maybe because I have someone with me, and the whole Middle Ring is looking up at Jupiter with me at this moment, and it's a wonderful feeling. Naile also learned to take a few deep breaths as the eight-eyed spider took a few deep breaths, and she still held the small ecological ball he gave her in her hand, which she held in her hand as if it were a treasure.
"You still have it with you, it's very fragile, let's freeze it, if it thaws, the plants inside will die soon."
"No, it will be saved with us." There was a confidence in Naile's eyes for no apparent reason, she held up the glass sphere, and the sun's rays refracted by Jupiter shone on the surface of the glass and warmed the little creatures in the earth, "One day I will bury it back on Earth, this little world that belongs to us will be reintegrated into the big world." ”
