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: “…”
