Chapter 132 – Diving into Venus…

The four astronauts worked continuously for over 20 minutes. Just as their oxygen supply was running out, they carried the big box up to Chen Yu and bowed.

Initially, they had come on this mission with the thought of never returning in mind. They had never once thought that Transdimensional Review’s UP would willingly delay his livestream and wait for them for nearly half an hour.

After “escaping from the jaws of death,” they were naturally extremely grateful toward Chen Yu.

Seeing that the astronauts were ready to leave, Chen Yu waved his hand and said, “Go on.”

After exchanging looks with each other, the four astronauts lugged the box filled with lunar dust and rocks through the Interstellar Portal and left the moon, leaving behind a bunch of electronic equipment that were still running.

At this time, Chen Yu slowly approached the portal and looked at the crowd that was busy sealing “samples.” He then stretched out his hand toward the portal and said to the camera, “The ones on Earth, toss 10 small red flags to me.”

Several police officers that were earnestly watching the livestream hurriedly notified their superiors of Chen Yu’s demand. And in no time at all, a bunch of red flags got tossed through the portal.

Bending down, Chen Yu picked up the flags and placed it in the temporary storage box located on his backplate. He then disconnected the spatial link.

Simultaneously, the arch back on Earth disappeared without a trace.

“Friends in the livestream rooms, I sincerely apologize for this small delay. Now, let us resume the livestream.

“Aside from the absence of air and the abundance of cosmic radiation, the moon’s environment cannot be considered extreme…”

While Chen Yu was midway through his sentence, a meteorite suddenly fell from the dark sky and smashed into the moon’s surface, the impact causing the ground Chen Yu stood on to tremble slightly.

“…Fine, then. Aside from the absence of air, the presence of cosmic radiation, and the falling meteorites, the moon’s environment isn’t exactly extreme. And honestly, my main goal of coming here is simply to satisfy my dream of stepping on the moon.

“Now that I’ve fulfilled that dream, let us move on to our second stop in our trip through the solar system—Mercury.

“Let us experience the sun’s terror up close!”

After saying so, Chen Yu called out the solar system’s hologram and established a spatial link to the surface of Mercury.

Immediately, space within the metal arch distorted. A short moment later, a silent and lifeless world similar to the moon appeared beyond the arch. Compared to the moon, though, this world was significantly brighter.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu calmed himself and looked back at the partially bright and partially dark Earth. He then stepped through the portal.

Bright!

Bright!!

Bright!!!

The instant Chen Yu stepped onto Mercury, he immediately felt a mild sting in his eyes. His body also felt a lot heavier.

If not for his helmet automatically cutting off a large portion of the light shining at him, he might’ve gone blind already.

“So, this is Mercury.”

Facing the camera and gesturing an ‘OK’ sign, Chen Yu explained, “The protective suit has just notified me that my surrounding temperature exceeds 400 degrees Celsius. However, it is still far from reaching the suit’s thermal insulation limit, so there is no need to worry.

“Let me give you a brief introduction. In ancient China, the planet Mercury is called…is called the…something. Well, don’t mind it. Similar to Earth, Mercury is one of the four terrestrial planets found in our solar system. It is also the closest planet located to the sun.

“How close is it?”

Smirking, Chen Yu slowly shifted the camera to face directly toward the sun.

In the next moment, a massive fireball filled the screens of the livestream’s 900,000 viewers!

[You just blinded my dog eyes.]

[I suddenly gained a phobia of large objects.]

[This is too frightening…]

[Spectacular!]

[Thank you for sharing this scene while I am still alive, UP.]

[UP, won’t you melt if you don’t have your armor?]

[He won’t melt, but he will burn.]

[That’s over 400 degrees! He’ll be ready to eat in just a few minutes.]

[Why not visit Mercury at night?]

[You go there at night, then…]

[The temperature of Mercury’s night side is minus 150 degrees.]

After waiting for the audience to get their fill of looking at the sun, Chen Yu shut his eyes and slowly turned toward the sun as well. Three seconds later, his eyes suddenly opened, and gave himself a shock!

Beautiful!

Spreading his arms and giving the massive fireball before him a “hug,” Chen Yu suddenly had an inexplicable impulse that he could not suppress. Simultaneously, his nose also started becoming stuffy.

How great the universe was.

And how humble a human being was.

At this moment, aside from himself, nobody else could understand the feeling in his heart.

This was the instinctive respect a carbon-based creature held toward the magnificent universe.

In the meantime, over one-third of the audience watching the livestream chosen to take a screenshot and record the image of a human hugging the majestic sun.

Today, human history had finally gained a new entry…

“Friends, I feel regretful.”

After some time passed, Chen Yu lowered his arms and sighed. “I feel regretful that only I can enjoy this magnificent and unique moment.

“What’s even more regrettable is that I will be visiting Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and maybe even discover alien lifeforms by myself. You, on the other hand, can only watch from afar.

“What a pity…”

[Jealousy, transforms my face beyond recognition.]

[Jealousy, turns my mouth and eyes crooked.]

[You’re going to lose us if you continue like that…]

[Crossdress to apologize!]

[Go to the sun! Go to the sun!]

[UP, I am the Astronomical Institute’s director. Can you enter Mercury to collect video data?]

[Don’t waste your energy. The UP doesn’t read bullet comments.]

Turning around, Chen Yu walked back to the Interstellar Portal and called up the virtual solar system. He then established a spatial link to his third stop.

“Following the planetary order, our next stop will be Venus. The environment there is even more extreme, so we will speed up our review. Before that, though…”

Letting his words trail off, Chen Yu retrieved a small red flag from his backplate’s storage box. He then thrust the flag into the ground.

However, immediately, the flag made out of cloth caught fire and rapidly burned away, leaving behind only an iron rod that was growing increasingly redder…

Chen Yu: “…Apologies.”

Shrugging, Chen Yu looked up and saw that the Interstellar Portal had finished establishing the spatial link. He then stepped through the portal without hesitation.

Instantly, the world around Chen Yu darkened, and an orange-yellow brilliance enveloped his body.

“This is Venus.” After turning around and observing his surroundings, Chen Yu could not help but frown. “The gravity here is similar to that on Earth. According to the protective suit’s data, the temperature here is at 465 degrees Celsius, which is higher than even the side of Mercury facing the sun. The atmospheric pressure here is scary as well, reaching up to 90 atmospheres at my current location. That’s almost equivalent to being 1,000 meters deep in the ocean. Oh? It seems it’s raining here as well?”

While saying so, Chen Yu wiped off the rainwater that had fallen on his helmet and observed it. “The rainwater is yellow. It should be acid rain. This place is like hell!”

Crackle!

A burst of thunder suddenly came from above him!

Immediately, Chen Yu looked up and saw numerous arcs of lightning streaking across the sky, followed by a series of thunders.

“My bad. It’s not ‘like’ hell. This place is hell.”

[The Planet of Hell.]

[Aunt Venus, is that really you? You’re actually so violent under that orange surface…]

[Such thick smoke. UP, breathe it in! Just one breath!]

[Earth is great.]

[Earth is great. +1]

[Venus experiences the most potent greenhouse effect among the planets in the solar system. If you don’t care for the Earth now, Earth will eventually become Venus in the future!]

After waiting for the thunderstorm to dissipate, Chen Yu quickly took out a red flag and stabbed it into the ground.

“I feel even more uncomfortable here than when I was at the Mariana Trench’s bottom. Let’s quickly leave.”

As soon as Chen Yu said so, the little red flag became scorched under the high temperature and acid’s corrosion.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Yu said, “We’re mainly here to experience the environment. It’s fine so long as we get the meaning across…”

Audience: “…”
