Chapter 708 The Eye of Jupiter
The number of cave dwellers in Yalong Bay grew rapidly, and they were continuously sent to Jupiter.

With the addition of this group, the closed megastructure has finally begun to awaken from its long hibernation.

Four days later.

The cavemen completed the first string light command editing on Jupiter, successfully slowing down a star anchor.

Seven days later.

In the space tunnel connecting Earth and Jupiter, the two star anchors can now be freely opened and closed, and their rotation speeds can be reset.

Twelve days later.

Through the star anchor, the researchers discovered that its bottom connects to the ultra-high pressure state material inside Jupiter, which is mainly a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen.

Twenty-seven days later.

Anchor measurements indicate that beneath Jupiter's metallic hydrogen layer lies a paste-like fluid, primarily composed of superionic water ice, mixed with a large amount of rock salt.

Scattered fragments of the intelligent core were also discovered here, containing the corpses of cave dwellers. The cave dwellers used star anchors to retrieve them one by one and read the records on the remains.

Sixty-one days later.

Deeper within the core boundary, beneath the supercritical fluid of the iron-silicon mixture, lies a massive void.

Dong showed Zhou Yi the scene observed by the star anchor.

It was a substance that resembled a spherical black hole.

Its structure is extremely stable, and it has a force field that repels other matter from the surrounding area to approach it. It is an energy body with extremely high density.

“Jay Chou, according to the information on the star anchor, this is a space hole in 12-dimensional space.”

“Generally speaking, 12-dimensional spatial holes are extremely rare and can move on their own. Most 12-dimensional spatial channels are closed spatial bubbles, but because their energy density is too high, they cannot be forcibly opened. Holes like these that remain open are extremely rare in the universe.”

"Jupiter's core is this 12-dimensional space hole. After the string civilization discovered this, it used its energy and internal gravity to transform it into the celestial behemoth we see today."

Dong took on the role of narrator.

Zhou Yi noticed this.

At the edge of this high-dimensional space hole, numerous fleeting arcs of light are constantly emerging, as if evaporating, accompanied by a multitude of particle fragments.

The perspective has been further broadened.

You can then discover that those particles are actually tiny stones, and many arcs of light appear on these stones, as if some kind of mark printed on them by a space hole.

These pebbles gradually blended into the surrounding environment and began to float and sink with the waves.

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised when he saw their full appearance: "So the intelligent cores weren't artificially created, but rather erupted from a 12-dimensional spatial rift?"

Yes. Jay Chou.

The cave dwellers said, "This is also what surprised the cave dwellers the most. We didn't know that the origin of the cave dwellers was not here, but on the side of the highest dimension."

"However, this prototype of the intelligence core will not directly give birth to cavemen. It requires special conditions, and eventually only a small portion of it will give birth to cavemen."

This place can be basically confirmed as the source of the ancestral land and intellectual core of the Dongren people.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of something.

The black spherical spatial cavity before us was slowly releasing an intelligent core capable of hatching cave dwellers; this scene seemed familiar...

Wait.

He immediately seized upon that spark of inspiration.

Humans reproduce by having tiny sperm enter a relatively large egg to form a fertilized egg, which then gradually hatches into an embryo.

This 12-dimensional spatial hole is like a cosmic fertilized egg incubating a special life form.

Unlike humans, the cave people are born from a fertilized egg, which then secretes or releases a nucleus that is almost like a daughter cell, and then these nuclei nuclei give birth to the cave people.

Therefore, the cave dwellers must be beings from a 12-dimensional space.

Zhou Yi had another question: "If that's the case, why did the Cave People become extinct? Logically, they should still be producing intelligence cores, and shouldn't the intelligence cores on Jupiter gradually give birth to Cave People?"

"No, Mr. Jay Chou."

Dong Shi said, "A large number of intelligent cores were indeed born here, but they would not evolve into cavemen in their natural state."

"Ultimately, they will only turn into salt rock and become part of Jupiter's core."

"For a caveman to be born, it must be activated through a one-dimensional space cave. The intelligent core matter needs to be sent into a one-dimensional space to complete the dimensional reduction activation, and then brought back to the higher dimension... Only through this continuous dimensional compression can the potential caveman factors in the matter be activated, allowing the caveman life to sprout."

"The whole process is somewhat like forging iron, repeatedly hammering and squeezing, and then forming a tough metal object."

Under its guidance.

Zhou Yi saw that there were indeed small spatial holes around the 12-dimensional spatial hole.

The intelligent cores erupting from the 12-dimensional cavities at Jupiter's core enter these cavities in large quantities and then return from other cavities. It's like some kind of celestial device is refining and impurifying the debris.

The core spatial rift was wrapped and enveloped by purple string light, looking like crisscrossing threads locking a huge black sphere.

The intelligent cores, after being squeezed and modified, were all attracted by the string light gravity and firmly locked in this purple light area, unable to move.

"The space hole can no longer give birth to new cave dwellers."

Dong Shi explained, "The reason is that the giant structure of Jupiter was given instructions by the String Civilization using string light, which locked up the birth of new populations."

“Intelligent cores will still erupt here, but the string light will penetrate them and firmly fix them in the core region. If they cannot rise to the surface and be sent to the area near the surface, the cave people cannot be born due to the extremely high pressure and temperature environment here.”

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

So this is how they directly cut off the cave dwellers' chances of rebirth.

He said, "Since it's a string light command... now that you can edit and change it, you should be able to unlock this switch now."

"Unfortunately, it's not possible."

Dong said somewhat sullenly, "The string light here is different from that outside; it forms its own system."

"Specific conditions must be met for it to be activated and operated. If you forcibly try to change the instructions, their inherent defense and verification mechanisms will be triggered, causing this 12-dimensional space hole to explode and instantly evaporate most of the solar system."

"..."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Is there no other way?"

"To activate it, besides being able to edit the string light, the initial condition is that a Great Holy Spirit needs to be implanted."

Dong said, "The entire megastructure is driven by the Great Holy Spirit, which is originally the basic mechanism of Jupiter. We read the string light here and discovered the records of the past."

"The key to Jupiter's movement in the past... was Lady Yagami."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "You mean, Yagami wasn't on the moon in the past, but on Jupiter?"

"Yes."

Dong said, "She is the eye and switch left here by the String Civilization. But the cyborgs can never land on the moon, nor can they capture the Night Goddess there, so they can never truly occupy Jupiter. In the past, the String Civilization did not seem to be completely unguarded against the cyborgs."

Zhou Yi suddenly had a sudden realization.

The Night God is the key left on the moon by the String Civilization.

but.

Zhou Yi asked, puzzled, "Why not keep her on Jupiter?"

"Because the string civilization does not trust any vassal, it regularly cleans up the memories and records of all vassals, leaving only some of their work content."

"It forbids its vassals from exchanging goods and services, forbids them from being independent, and keeps them all in separate places. When not in use, it puts the vassals into a slumber..." Dong Shi said, "We obtained this information from the records of the string light."

Zhou Yi then realized this.

When Yagami woke up, he was as if he had been reborn because all his past memories had been deleted by Xuan Wenming with a single click.

After all.

The string civilization uses all its vassals as tools.

Use it when needed, and turn it off when not in use.

This style has also been inherited by the celestial beings.

"In other words, bringing Night God here will complete the final step in activating Jupiter." Zhou Yi confirmed again, "Won't the String Civilization use its internal mechanisms to steal the benefits?"

"No, please rest assured. We Cave People will still be responsible for the operation here. We can now directly edit the String Light. Currently, we are using the String Light of the String Civilization, rather than it using us."

"But there is a problem."

Dong hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Zhou, if we use Ms. Night Goddess as the key to unlock Jupiter and connect her to this place, then her memories will be wiped clean again. Because every time the vassals participate in the work, their previous self-awareness records will be cleared by the string light."

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

Jupiter can be activated, but at the cost of losing Night God as a friend.

He made a decision in a second: "Never mind."

Let's set aside whether Yagami would agree.

Zhou Yi utterly despises people who treat others like portable hard drives, formatting them at will, much like Xian Wenming did. That's not his style.

"Let's think of another way."

Zhou Yi said.

However, he still summoned Night God to share his findings.

Wearing a white lab coat, Yagami started working. She adjusted her glasses and clapped her hands with a smile: "Not bad. You weren't tempted even with powerful forces right in front of you. You're starting to look like you're in charge."

"That is."

Zhou Yi said, "I never betray my teammates."

Night God said, "But let's put one thing aside and activate Jupiter. This is a good opportunity."

"No way, that would mean you have to start all over again..."

“I’m not talking about myself, I’m talking about Xiao Chongqing, she can go.”

Night God said, "If the core mechanism is the Great Holy Spirit, then Little Chongqing is the same."

“She herself was also in a slump, and recently she was depressed and even thought about suicide... It would be good to change her environment and her mood.”

"Huh? What's going on?" Zhou Yi exclaimed in shock: "The Great Holy Spirit can have suicidal tendencies?"

"You've learned something new, haven't you?"

Night God, hands in his pockets, said with a hint of helplessness, "Actually, it's because Xiao Chongqing likes an exciting life and is tired of the overly conventional new world. She secretly ran away to the outside world and came into contact with the Great Holy Spirit of Earth. Then, she was corrupted by the enormous negative emotions inside."

“You know, she is still very young, her consciousness is highly ordered, and with our maintenance and management, the electromechanical life is operating, so the new world order is very strong.”

"But Earth is not like that. It has accumulated billions of years of destructive and chaotic consciousness and all kinds of malice... She had never seen such a scene before. By the time she realized what she was seeing, it was too late."

"It left her in a daze, questioning the meaning of life, and becoming eccentric. Now she's listless every day... Although I'm trying my best to clean up this pollution for her, the effects are already irreversible."

“Recently, Xiao Chongqing has been crying, saying that he was really stupid and shouldn’t have disobeyed me and gone to that terrifying place on Earth. He just wants to start over and wants a brain that has never been exposed to those abnormal consciousnesses.”

"It would be better to help her erase this part of her memory and start over."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately asked Dong Shi if it was feasible.

"Sure, Mr. Jay, anything from the Holy Spirit is fine."

Dong Shi warned: "But once the Great Holy Spirit enters, all memories will be reset to zero, and everything will restart. There is also a limitation: it will be connected and bound to Jupiter, becoming a collective entity of the Jupiter Great Holy Spirit and consciousness. If it is to be separated, all previous memories and information will be wiped clean again."

Zhou Yixin said it was alright.

A girl's figure appeared beside Yagami.

After some time apart, Xiao Chongqing was still wearing her mahjong-shaped earrings, but her hair was disheveled and she wore a dirty white dress. Her eyes were lifeless, completely devoid of her former energy and vitality, making her resemble Sadako as a ghost.

Yagami whispered something in her ear, then nodded.

"She agreed."

"Little Chongqing is willing to go to Jupiter to clear his mind."

……

Two days later.

Under the guidance of the cave people, Xiao Chongqing passed through the space hole and entered Jupiter.

She added the final, crucial key, finally activating this colossal planetary structure.

Hundreds of evil brains recorded this historic moment on Jupiter.

This recording of consciousness was then transcribed into video and officially shown at a company meeting.

On the projection wall of room 3101, the massive, brownish-yellow aerosol layer of Jupiter appeared, resembling a never-ending sandstorm enveloping this giant planet.

In the circular current, star anchors, like super eye of a storm, began to slowly sink, as if they were being twisted simultaneously by an unseen hand, drilling deep into the interior of Jupiter.

at the same time.

Streaks of purple light began to appear on the surface of the entire planet. These rays of light blended into the atmosphere like dye, turning into numerous purple specks.

These purple dots eventually coalesced into a single purple halo that gushed outwards.

Zoom out.

From space, Jupiter, which was originally covered with yellow and red bands of gas, can be seen with a huge purple halo appearing on its surface.

The center of the halo is deeply recessed, revealing a hidden 12-dimensional space hole inside the planet. The dark spherical space looks profound and unknowable.

It's as if Jupiter has opened its eyes, making it appear even more mysterious and dark.

Within this black pupil, strands of purple light emerged, intertwining and weaving together to eventually form a giant warrior crab.

"It's done!"

"Take it!"

"The company has taken care of Jupiter!"

"Hahaha, it seems we're not far from defeating the Celestials!"

The department heads of the companies watching the video indoors were all overjoyed and extremely excited.

Zhou Yi also smiled slightly.

He prepared to say a few words as usual, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his smile froze.

An extremely urgent message came from Chongqing.

"Chairman, celestial beings are gathering and heading straight for Jupiter!"

Depend on!
