The real-time images transmitted back by the three robots were also seen by Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang.

When Zhao Zijie saw the overwhelming number of pale yellow jellyfish, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

"I see!"

Lü Yongchang's muttering came from the loudspeaker.

After exchanging a glance with Gao Yang, Zhao Zijie asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Professor, have you discovered something?"

The question interrupted Lü Yongchang's train of thought.

He looked up at Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang in the picture, and shook his head with a smile: "It can hardly be called a discovery."

"I've just figured out a few things."

"A problem?" Gao Yang's tone was full of doubt.

“Yes.” With that, Lü Yongchang stood up from his chair and walked to the office window with a look of deep emotion. “About the cause of death of those jellyfish we caught.”

"Unlike the Kraken-Marie Sea, the inland sea has a higher water temperature and contains more organic matter."

"Furthermore, these inland sea materials will erupt into the Kraken-Mare Sea via ice volcanoes."

"As for the cause of the eruption, it is most likely due to the tidal forces caused by Saturn."

"This has led to the phenomenon that the eruption of these ice volcanoes is periodic."

"For those jellyfish, the ice volcanoes distributed on the seabed of the Kraken-Marie Sea are like resource-rich habitable sites, which not only motivate them to keep moving, but also provide them with ample nutrients."

"Unless we can create a similar environment in the breeding tank, we will never be able to raise these amazing creatures."

Zhao Zijie stared blankly at the holographic image in front of him: "Then, what about our breeding plan..."

"Give up."

Lü Yongchang sighed deeply: "Even if we could simulate a similar environment, it would take too much effort and time."

"We can't do a business that loses money."

"Professor Lü, what should we do next?" Zhao Zijie glanced at the images transmitted back by the robot and asked again.

According to experimental data, these pale yellow jellyfish are truly valuable from head to toe.

In addition to the fluids secreted from the body surface acting as lubricants, the body also contains a large number of organic compounds needed by humans.

After leaving Earth, it becomes much more difficult for humans to obtain large quantities of organic compounds.

Before interstellar travel truly began, these tiny creatures on Titan were like a gift from heaven to humankind!

Lü Yongchang turned his gaze away from the window.

"Prepare the extermination plan."

Lu Yongchang slowly uttered a few words.

...

Compared to fishing and aquaculture, the culling plan is obviously much simpler.

However, it also poses a greater psychological challenge for the person enforcing the order.

After the long-distance communication was cut off, Gao Yang sat silently in his chair.

After a long silence, he raised his slightly bewildered eyes and looked at his companion: "Zijie, do you think what we're doing is right?"

"These jellyfish, though currently lacking intelligence, have already formed a complete ecological cycle within Titan's ocean. Given time, they may also be able to develop an advanced civilization."

"Just like us."

"By doing so, we might be killing a future advanced civilization."

Zhao Zijie let out a long sigh and shook his head firmly but slowly.

"Gao Yang, you can't say that."

"Now that we have left Earth and become an interstellar civilization, we must start from the perspective of humanity itself when observing things."

"No matter what they are like now, even if they have evolved intelligence, as long as they are useful to us, we must do so."

There's a saying I don't know if you've heard before.

"Losing humanity means losing a lot; losing animality means losing everything."

After saying that, he stood up, walked to Gao Yang's side, patted his teammate on the shoulder, and then turned and left the cockpit.

...

Mars.

Lu Yongchang sat behind his desk, silently watching the images transmitted back by the robot.

Countless pale yellow jellyfish roam in groups on the seabed of Kraken-Mare.

"zero."

After a long silence, Lü Yongchang suddenly spoke up: "Enter the data on these jellyfish into the core database."

"Do not delete voluntarily."

"Furthermore, this event must be recorded in detail in the annals of human civilization, and no subsequent modifications are permitted."

A second later, Zero's virtual avatar appeared next to Lü Yongchang: "Mission complete, Professor."

Lü Yongchang nodded and leaned back in his seat.

Although he was prepared to wage war against the Proxima Centauri civilization and carry out a plan to exterminate it, that was, after all, a galaxy 4.22 light-years away.

In his mind, life on Titan and Mars was completely different from the civilization on Proxima Centauri.

This is life that has been nurtured in the solar system!

Bathed in the light of the same star, even the atoms that make up our bodies come from the same nebula countless years ago.

In some ways, humans and them are like brothers.

Life on Mars is destined to be wiped out by the solar crisis.

But life on Titan was driven to extinction under Lü Yongchang's orders.

Thinking of this, Lü Yongchang sighed again.

...

Beyond Titan.

A giant starship, 1,500 meters long, slowly sailed toward Titan, a planet with an orange-yellow body.

That's the [Taotie] Nebula-class supply ship from Mars.

"...Captain Zhao Zijie, please respond."

Bart's voice echoed in the cockpit of the [Taotie].

A few minutes later.

The holographic image in front of Bart flickered slightly.

"Haha, my friend, long time no see!"

Upon seeing Zhao Zijie, Bart, who was sitting in the captain's seat, greeted him with a big laugh: "Zijie, you look to be in good shape."

"How's life on Titan? Is it comfortable?"

Having already composed himself, Zhao Zijie rolled his eyes in annoyance: "It's alright, isn't it?"

"At least, it's much more comfortable than mining in the asteroid belt."

Bart: "..."

His lips twitched slightly, and he immediately changed the subject.

"Cough cough!"

"【Taotie】is expected to enter Titan's orbit in 1 hour."

"Due to its mass and size, the Taotie cannot enter the atmosphere."

"so……"

"So we have to come pick you up?" Zhao Zijie interrupted Bart, looking at the holographic screen with disdain.

“Of course not, we will go down in the Mysterious Maiden II.” Bart glanced at Zhao Zijie with a surprised look.

"The [Gluttonous Beast] is equipped with fifty Mysterious Maiden II vessels, which are used to transport methane. Didn't you know that?"

Upon hearing this, a bad thought suddenly flashed through Zhao Zijie's mind.
