Chereads / The Rise of the Blood Mosquito / Chapter 274 - Chapter 13: Neptune, Really?

Chapter 274 - Chapter 13: Neptune, Really?

Her figure was unmistakable when the armor-like equipment appeared, exuding a perfect feeling that was almost unattainable for Earth women.

However, Jia Yan wasn't interested in observing too much. After all, he was an extraterrestrial who had lived for who knows how many years.

At this moment, the visor on Daphne's face emitted a sound.

"Mr. Mosquito, follow my lead later. I'll operate the spacecraft to attack their base and then we'll penetrate their interior together."

"Can't we just use the spacecraft directly to destroy their base?" Jia Yan's voice questioned at this moment.

"No, this base, after all, was left behind by the Ostos. While my spacecraft might have some self-defense capabilities against them, it doesn't have the power to completely destroy it. You'll understand when you see it later," Daphne's voice slowly transmitted.

Jia Yan nodded slightly.

They stood in the spacious area, and Daphne seemed to have the ability to operate the spacecraft at this moment. So the two of them stood in the space, waiting for the approach.

Jia Yan felt a bit surreal at this moment. Although a month had passed in the spacecraft, he hadn't yet felt the real sense of entering space. After all, facing such a thing so suddenly was something that a creature living on a planet could never get used to!

And he had experienced, seen, and even fantasized about being so close to the universe while on Earth. But at that time, Jia Yan could never have imagined that he would enter space so quickly and even become involved in such an event that required evolution for space combat!

Strange, absurd, several emotions spread in Jia Yan's heart!

And it was at this moment that the spacecraft seemed to change direction among countless meteorite fragments...

A huge bright light!

Appearing in Jia Yan's luminous compound eyes!

Mr. Mosquito was truly shocked this time!

The thing in front of him might have been the target of the spacecraft before, and the video he had been watching was showing the scenery behind him. So Jia Yan didn't know that what the spacecraft was approaching was such a huge celestial body!

Huge! The entire field of vision was dominated by this huge celestial body.

It was so massive that it almost occupied the entire field of vision.

Compared to Earth, its body size could be said to be unimaginably large!

And its appearance presented a slightly blue hue, almost dominating the entire field of vision. This immense appearance easily led people to think of its true identity!

That is—a gas giant!

It was what is known as a gas giant, with a faint blue color that had nuances—some places were darker blue, some lighter—and some white clouds floating above, extremely dazzling and bewildering!

Compared to biology, Jia Yan's astronomical knowledge was relatively limited, so he felt a bit confused about this suddenly appearing huge celestial body. He didn't know which planet it was!

It must be one of the planets he knew. After all, even if he lacked common sense, he knew that the speed at which the spacecraft had performed couldn't possibly take them to another star system in a month!

He even doubted whether there was a possibility of faster-than-light travel! After all, although Jia Yan didn't understand astronomy, he still knew some basic things. For example, if an object could accelerate to the speed of light, then its mass would be almost infinitely large! And the power to propel this infinite mass forward, in his imagination, was simply impossible!

But nothing is absolute. When Jia Yan learned of the existence of those mysterious 'extraterrestrial civilizations', he had already somewhat abandoned his insistence on the idea that 'life cannot travel through space'. After all, they had appeared before his eyes, and facts speak louder than words!

Thinking of many things, Jia Yan once again turned his gaze to the huge celestial body in front of him!

So, which planet was this?

"This is what you Earthlings call Neptune," Daphne explained to him, resolving Jia Yan's confusion not long after.

So it was Neptune...

Jia Yan looked at the planet and was about to deeply imprint this scene into his mind. After all, not everyone could see Neptune.

But the next moment, his expression showed a slight change!

Neptune...

This meant that within a month, they had flown from Earth to the farthest planet in the solar system!?

Neptune's distance from the Sun seemed extremely far, right? Jia Yan didn't know the specific value, but it seemed to be tens of times farther than the distance from Earth to the Sun!

The distance from Earth to the Sun was already exaggerated enough, but this planet, was it tens of times farther from the Sun than Earth was?! Did this mean that this seemingly inconspicuous spacecraft, or even Jia Yan, who felt a bit rustic, had traveled to such a remote place in just thirty days?!

Jia Yan was almost stunned. In his life on Earth, using his wing vibrations, he could reach a speed of about several times the speed of sound. He was quite proud of it, but facing such a desperate speed, and in the vacuum of space where he couldn't fly at all, what else could he say...

He could only admit defeat!

"Alright, Mr. Mosquito, do you see the planetary ring over there? Our target is within that planetary ring," Daphne ignored Jia Yan's astonishment. In fact, she didn't even know if the giant mosquito had any concept of the universe. After all, she had always treated Jia Yan as a native creature that had evolved in just a few months. It was already very surprising that he could understand language and even read. Wanting this giant mosquito monster to understand things and know about astronomical knowledge was probably impossible!

But she didn't know that this giant mosquito monster did have some astronomical knowledge, although not very extensive. However, it couldn't be said that it knew nothing.

"What... what should we do next?" Jia Yan looked at the video ahead, where there was a seemingly dim light band. These things should be the planetary rings, right?

But this planetary ring was not as beautiful as Jia Yan had imagined. Instead, it was relatively dim, and as they approached, their colors gradually faded, turning into small pieces of debris resembling rocks and ice.

This was Neptune's planetary ring. For this planet, it had only five planetary rings, and these five rings seemed relatively small and lacked the grand scale of Saturn and Jupiter. Moreover, the celestial bodies contained in them were not very large.

However, at this moment, Jia Yan's eyes caught sight of a relatively large object in the planetary ring, which, along with those celestial bodies, floated around this planet continuously.

This object had a huge body of over two hundred meters. Among the celestial bodies that were no larger than tens of meters, it stood out prominently.

"Neptune has a very strong thermal reaction. According to the temperature they received from the sun, they shouldn't have had such a high temperature. So the Ostos, who suspected that this planet possessed another substance they urgently needed, built the basic base here. However, their idea was not verified. Neptune's temperature is indeed born in a special way! But it's not helpful to them. So those Ostos abandoned this basic base. It serves as a signal base now, which is what you see in front of you!" Daphne explained.
