It's Reasonable for Me, a Level 2 Civilization, to Have a Binary Sunset Flaw, Right?

In the year 2050 AD, the sun is affected by an unknown influence, and a helium flash is imminent!

Is Earth in danger?

It doesn't matter, I'll make a move!

Chapter 245 Jellyfish in Abnormal Condition

"They're here!"

Zhao Zijie, who was constantly watching the camera feed, suddenly brightened up and shouted, "Holy crap! So many!!"

Gao Yang immediately got up and ran towards the porthole next to him.

Soon, the same exclamation came from Gao Yang's mouth.

"Holy crap! How can there be so many?!"

Although they didn't know exactly how many jellyfish had come from outside, one thing the two were certain of.

This is outrageous!

The once transparent methane ocean has now turned completely pale yellow!

An endless stream of jellyfish surged toward the rather narrow wire mesh cage!

"Quick! Turn off the heater!"

Seeing that the barbed wire was about to be crushed by the countless jellyfish, Gao Yang shouted repeatedly.

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the switch next to him.

"Click".

The sound of a switch being toggled could be heard.

The residual heat on the heater surface was quickly consumed by countless jellyfish.

When they realized the heater was no longer warm, the jellyfish stood frozen for a few seconds.

Then, the jellyfish army changed direction again and charged straight at the phoenix!

"Holy crap! Gao Yang!"

"What the hell did you do?!" Zhao Zijie's expression changed drastically, and he roared angrily, "Turn on the heater right now!"

“But, but it’s a wire mesh cage…” Gao Yang said hesitantly.

"Who cares about the wire mesh cage now!" Zhao Zijie rushed to Gao Yang's side and pressed the switch on the heater. "Do you want to be wrapped up again?"

"Don't forget, the number of jellyfish this time is at least several times that of before!"

As the heater was activated, the jellyfish hesitated for a moment before adjusting their course and rushing toward the heater in the wire cage.

The sturdy wire mesh cage gradually deformed until it burst.

"Did you see that?"

Zhao Zijie swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "If these jellyfish were to climb onto the phoenix, we'd probably end up like this wire cage."

"Then, what about the trapping plan?"

Gao Yang, his face somewhat pale, asked, "Professor Lü, did you tell us to..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zijie fell silent.

"Let's catch as many as we can."

"Professor Lü probably didn't expect there to be so many jellyfish in the sea."

...

The tide gradually receded.

Most of the jellyfish left with the tide, leaving only a few "greedy" jellyfish still clinging to the heater.

With the help of several robots, the jellyfish were moved into the starship.

One corner of the starship was temporarily converted into a breeding area.

To ensure the survival rate of the jellyfish, the environment inside the breeding room is basically the same as the surface environment of Titan.

After a busy day, Zhao Zijie sat down in a chair, looking exhausted.

"First, turn on the monitoring screen in the breeding room."

The holographic projection unfolded, presenting dozens of surveillance images from different angles in front of him.

In the video, more than a hundred jellyfish rest quietly in a large pool.

The pool contains seawater drawn from the Methane Sea.

"Why do they seem a bit listless?" Zhao Zijie stroked his chin, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Aren't we going to let them die?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang quickly came over.

"It can't be that bad, can it?"

"All indicators are the same as those outside, how could something have gone wrong?"

"I reckon he's just tired and will be fine after a day or two of rest."

Zhao Zijie: "..."

"Are you raising goldfish?"

"Forget it, forget it, I can't count on you for this kind of thing."

"First, keep a close eye on the condition of these jellyfish and remind me immediately if there is any problem."

"Received, Captain," a rigid voice immediately replied.

...

A few days later.

A sudden alarm woke the two from their sleep.

"Captain, the jellyfish in the aquaculture area are exhibiting abnormal behavior."

The reminder from Yi rang in Zhao Zijie's ears.

At the same time, the holographic image displayed the surveillance footage in front of the sleepy Zhao Zijie.

The moment he saw the image, Zhao Zijie's spirits lifted instantly!

Holy crap!

"Gao Yang! Something's happened!"

...

Wearing full-body spacesuits, Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang slowly walked into the breeding room.

"What happened... how could they all just suddenly be dead?"

Gao Yang looked at the "horrific" scene before him and muttered to himself.

More than a hundred dead jellyfish floated on the surface of the pool.

Perhaps due to death, the cell membrane lost its original activity, and lipid substances began to leak out of the jellyfish.

The once clear and transparent seawater turned a pale yellow.

"First, let's review the surveillance footage."

Zhao Zijie said in a deep voice.

The video was quickly retrieved and projected onto the transparent face shields directly in front of the two men's helmets.

"This is footage from an hour ago," came Yi's voice through the earpiece.

In the video, more than a hundred jellyfish are seen quietly sinking to the bottom of the water.

It was in the same state as when it was first placed in the pool.

"This footage was taken 20 minutes ago."

The recording speeds up.

A jellyfish located in the very center of the bottom of the pool suddenly twitched, and a clump of pale yellow substance slowly oozed from its body.

A few minutes later, the jellyfish floated from the bottom of the water to the surface.

As if it were a signal, within just a few minutes, almost all the jellyfish entered their death countdown.

After watching the entire video, Zhao Zijie stared grimly at the pool full of dead jellyfish.

"First, have they not moved at all these past few days?"
