The probe was still climbing. It was now above the clouds of planet Inferno, leaving the atmosphere and entering the vacuum. The probe sent back the images of the planet from space, and it looked terrific.
The planet's surface was nearly smooth, like a polished snowball without lines and wrinkles. Meanwhile, clouds covered and provided light to the planet. It looked like a pearl floating in space.
But no one could imagine how ugly the planet's surface below the thick clouds was.
The probe continued to fly towards outer space, looking for stars. The MDT lost contact with the probe after the probe crossed some sort of spatial boundary.
"We lost it." The MDT turned off the tracking screen, which was only filled with static noise. "I'm afraid it has crossed the dimensional boundary. If the probe is still intact, it'll return from the void."
"As expected, there are no stars," Hao Ren muttered. "This planet is the only object in the space debris."
