9. Memory

When Zhuge Yun's consciousness was about to turn into a chaotic state, he didn't know why, he remembered the dream he often had when he was a child.

To be precise, it was not a conscious recollection on his part, but some kind of memory that had been forcibly implanted in his brain. Even he wasn't sure if it was a real memory or a dream hallucination.

The dark green moss reflects the olive-green building as soon as the boulder rises to the surface. The waves washed furiously over the stone steps and countless raised rock creations. The stone structures are covered in a thick layer of moss, twisted and hideous, revealing obelisks that are not formed according to human beauty.

It was a huge city, all sunk to the bottom of the sea, and all that was exposed was a huge fortress.

The structure of the city is similar to that of Futurist art, and the structure of the buildings is abnormal, completely contrary to Euclidean geometry. At first glance, it looks like a raised surface, but if you look closely, it looks like it's sunken.

Its never-before-seen spatial structure and dimensional dimensions can cause people to feel a strong sense of disgust.

As if from the edge of the dark stars, the endless darkness is projected over those creations, and everywhere it is alluding to the shattered spatial structures, and even the sun is distorted by the abnormal refraction of these geometric forms. These buildings are built of gigantic, too large green stone to come from the earth; There are also dizzyingly tall boulder carvings, magnificent stone statues and ornate reliefs; The whole city exudes a strong smell of uncleanness.

In front of the bronze gate, you can feel the cold wind blowing from the door just by feeling it.

An unimaginably large black shadow obscured the sky, like mountains falling into the curved sea level, and the changing shapes reflected strange symbols that were incomprehensible.

As the shadows skimmed over the buildings, the starlight took on the arrangement of ancient, forbidden ancient books, moving through its body......

Zhuge Yun had dreamed of those terrifying scenes more than once, and every time he woke up, his pajamas would be wet with sweat. He didn't know if it was some kind of deliberate display, or if it was due to fragile and sensitive nerves playing tricks on his mind.

As I get older, I have fewer and fewer such dreams. But that feeling was retained, and the impression in his subconscious mind continued to improve his memory.

At this moment, even if he knew that he was still in the cabin of the "Pacific", a certain consciousness had already stripped away from his body, allowing his mind to wander in the world and feel the incomparably intimate feeling.

He suddenly retracted his consciousness and remembered his mission, so he shifted his steps and walked towards the ship's living quarters.

……

Launched in the year 230 of the ephemeris, the "Pacific" departed from the outer reaches of Jupiter.

It is the second exploration spacecraft to leave the solar system since the first space immigration base was established in the orbit of Mars.

The first is an experimental exploration ship, which departed two years ago, has no human beings on it, is completely controlled by an intelligent mastermind, and operates according to a system program.

In addition to making important decisions, the ship's MAX7003 smart computer properly arranges all the work on the spacecraft that does not require human operation.

Even the general navigation instructions are coordinated by computer intelligence.

In this era, there have been two technological explosions – one is the discovery of superparticles, and the other is the breakthrough and application of millionths of a nanometer material.

The ensuing scientific and technological progress covers almost all walks of life that people know, and the scientific and technological strength of mankind has surpassed the original knowledge system that took 300 years to establish in less than 70 years.

Many of the beliefs that were previously thought to be immutable truths have been falsified.

With the gradual improvement of the new theoretical system and manufacturing level, human beings have dominated the solar system.

Just like the people of Columbus's time, hand-drawn maps with parchment in their hands, and pieced together the location of European coastlines with broken geographical boundaries, the concept of the earth exists only in people's imaginations. Nowadays, people can see what is happening in any part of the world, in any corner of the world, with just a small mobile phone - as if they were looking down on the planet with God's eyes.

This is the gap in human cognition brought about by the 800 years since the disappearance of the century AD.

The original human probe, Voyager, took 35 years to travel less than 20 billion kilometers, and now it can reach Mars in as little as 35 hours.

Of course, there are many more universes unknown and ununderstood.

Human beings are still just frogs at the bottom of the well, just jumping out of the well, wanting to see the infinite universe under the sky.

The people on the "Pacific" are ready to take a look outside the wellhead.

Time jumps back to Jupiter's outer orbit.

The interim report meeting on the barge was underway, but Zhuge Yun's mind was obviously not on this.

His gaze was fixed on the scenery outside the porthole.

Jupiter is a giant liquid hydrogen planetary body. As the depth increases, at a depth of at least 5,000 km above the surface, liquid hydrogen is formed at high pressures and temperatures.

It is speculated that the center of Jupiter is a nucleus composed of silicates and iron, and the composition of matter is in a continuous transition with density.

It is one of the Jupiteroids: that is, it is not composed mainly of solid matter, and it is the largest planet in the solar system.

Although Jupiter is 11 times the diameter of the Earth, it is very large, but it is very dense. So Jupiter is more than 1,300 times the volume of Earth, but its mass is only 318 times that of Earth. The earth is in front of it, like a glass marble in front of a basketball.

The gas giant rotates very fast, requiring only 9 hours a day on Earth.

Humans have set up outposts in Jupiter's orbit for a clear purpose – for the almost inexhaustible source of liquid and metallic hydrogen energy on Jupiter.

Metallic hydrogen is a liquid or solid hydrogen that becomes a conductor of electricity at a high pressure of millions of atmospheres on Jupiter. These substances will be ideal fuels for controlled nuclear fusion engines.

At this time, Jupiter in Zhuge Yun's eyes is showing the beautiful and famous "Big Red Spot". The Great Red Spot is a violently rising air stream that is dark brown in color.

This colored cyclone rotates in a counterclockwise direction. In the center of the Great Red Spot there is a small particle, which is the nucleus of the Great Red Spot, which is about a few hundred kilometers in size, and the diameter of the entire "Great Red Spot" is large enough to accommodate 2 to 3 Earths.

This nucleus is immobile in the vortex around it, and its lifespan is very long, lasting hundreds of years or more.

At this time, the other 12 scientists were listening intently to the reports.

The first report reads as follows:

Reported by the Interstellar Mineral Exploration Vessel, Captain Kraken of the Intrepid.
