293: Chapter 28 Space Jump!【Subscriptions Wanted】_1 293: Chapter 28 Space Jump!【Subscriptions Wanted】_1 The fragments of Compound Eyes reveal a strong desire to survive!
Even in this desperate situation, he still seeks to live!
Even in this utterly hopeless universe, even if he’s not on Earth but on Neptune, far away from Earth, he still insists on staying alive!
He has to live!
He will keep living!
He will absolutely survive!
The Giant Mosquito, though damaged, is filled with an even stronger will.
It stirs on this meteorite!
“So cold!
Why is it so cold?”
Jia Yan feels an extreme cold on his back.
This icy feeling instantly overpowers the previously existing heat within his body.
This prompts Jia Yan to accelerate his speed.
With a slight movement of his legs, he inches away from the meteorite!
However, he dares not stray too far from the meteorite.
His body maintains a tiny distance, and he repeatedly extends his scythe-like right forelimb, which isn’t excessively damaged, to hook onto the meteorite’s surface.
This guarantees that he won’t drift away!
He absolutely cannot fly in space.
In this place, even if he flaps his wings until they break, he won’t advance even one millimeter!
If he dares to stray too far from a solid object, he’ll perish asphyxiated in the vacuum of space!
The principle that allows flying creatures to take flight relies on pushing air forward.
All of the Giant Mosquito’s evolutionary adaptations regarding flight are related to aerodynamics.
In this space where air doesn’t exist, he can’t possibly fly!
If he leaves a solid object, he’ll simply float in space, suspended in mid-air and waiting to suffocate to death!
Yes, his ability to hold his breath has greatly improved through several mutations.
He is even confident that under extreme conditions, he might be able to go a whole day without breathing.
Of course, this is under the condition that he doesn’t engage in activities that consume a lot of oxygen!
At this moment, his previous actions have already consumed much of his oxygen, and he begins to feel a hint of oxygen shortage!
“No!
I must figure out a solution!
I can’t despair at this moment!”
Jia Yan slightly distances himself from the meteorite, finding that his back has almost frozen solid from the short duration leaning on it.
This is despite his high body temperature and extreme heat tolerance.
If he hadn’t crashed into the meteorite while being ablaze, he might’ve already been frozen stiff and immobile on the surface of the meteorite!
“Why are they so cold, while I don’t feel too much of this coldness in space?” Jia Yan is extremely curious, but this is not the time for him to wonder about these things.
Indeed, for Jia Yan who doesn’t understand astronomy, this phenomenon seems hard to understand, but the reason is simple!
In a vacuum environment, there is no such thing as temperature.
However, if an object itself possesses temperature, and it finds itself in a pure vacuum, it will always maintain its initial temperature.
It won’t be reduced!
But in reality, the vacuum in the universe, in theory, is not completely void.
It contains a few particles.
For Earth’s scientists, these particles can be neglected because they are too few!
But it’s precisely these few particles, little by little, that make up the universe.
Even many stars are made up of these few particles.
However, this involves complex astronomical theories, which will not be discussed here.
Since the space contains some particles, the transfer of heat occurs through these particles.
Therefore, the substances in the universe, if they’re not near a heat source like a star or anything similar, tend to lower their temperature to a limit!
Just like the meteorite in front of him.
It should have been a fragment disintegrated from a large celestial body.
If it indeed existed in a pure vacuum, it should have maintained the temperature of the impact or disintegration.
Yet, in reality, over thousands of years, its temperature has been taken away by the particles in space, thus getting infinitely close to the lowest temperature!
Fortunately, this meteorite, due to its proximity to Neptune and the faint radiation energy from the distant sun, has a temperature that is not at the absolute zero of negative 273.15 degrees Celsius.
Otherwise, Jia Yan would have frozen to death the moment he fell in!
Even so, its temperature is around negative 150 degrees Celsius.
If not for the external influence of the explosive force and Jia Yan’s own exoskeleton’s strong temperature regulation capability, he would have been frostbitten.
“Even if I don’t freeze to death, what comes next!”
Jia Yan looked at the endless darkness ahead, burning with a fierce will to survive, yet his hopeless reality bound him in despair.
Where was he?
In space!
Unable to breathe, devoid of gravity, as soon as he left a solid object behind, he could potentially touch nothing and suffocate to death!
What if he could fly?!
Could he, at this place, fly back to Earth before he suffocates?!
“No!
I must find a way, There has to be a way!”
Jia Yan glanced behind him; he had crashed against a small, approximately ten-meter diameter, star-level material, fundamentally composed of iron-rich minerals.
Despite its solidity, the impact from Jia Yan had marked it clearly and cracked it!
In front of him were countless similar, small meteorites, some consisting of similar iron compounds but most looked like shards of ice – remnants of a comet’s fragmentation.
It was as if previously, a comet-like celestial body had dismembered here around Neptune, forming the present planet’s ring.
Due to the explosion, Jia Yan was now far away from the base.
Almost using his broken Compound Eyes, he saw that about ten kilometers away, flames were still soaring.
There seemed to be some remnants of the explosion still flaring up!
“No.
My only chance of survival is there, at the site of the accident!
I can’t possibly find other means of survival here!”
The moment Jia Yan spotted the flames, he set his future direction!
He didn’t want to die.
The fate of his family was still unknown.
If what Daphne said was true, that these so-called Auster people were controlling those metal monsters, their departure from Earth seemingly cleared of any worries, what would happen to Earth next?
Would it turn into a critical survival situation?
This was Jia Yan’s primary concern, without his protection, his family would become extraordinarily vulnerable.
He wanted to protect his family!
Of course, he had a bigger dream – to become the so-called Star Sky Beast!
Without achieving this aspiration, how could Jia Yan possibly resign himself to death!
He didn’t want to die, couldn’t bring himself to even contemplate it!
“Isn’t it just ten kilometers!?
I will find a way to make it!”
Even though a devastating explosion occurred there, Jia Yan estimated the blast force and range in his mind.
He reckoned that the so-called Auster people’s signal base might not have been entirely decimated!
After all, the metal they used was the kind that could not be significantly damaged, even with Jia Yan’s full-powered front foot attack!
Moreover, he could sense that the previous explosion had mainly affected the upper part of the base, there was no evidence of a blast on the lower part!
However, whether the reality matched this inference, Jia Yan couldn’t be sure.
After all, who would have the presence of mind to observe other things in the heat of the moment?!
“No matter what!
I have to trust my judgment!
As long as there’s even a glimmer of the base’s existence left, there’s still hope!
The base facility has compartmentalization.
If any section still has intact living facilities, then I can be saved!”
Jia Yan forced himself to believe in his own judgement at this crucial moment.
He looked at the meteorite beneath his feet; it seemed to be less than twenty meters away from the crystalline material ahead.
Under normal circumstances, he would easily leap over it, but now he couldn’t fly, so he had to make use of the force from the meteorite below, accurately judge the direction and leap towards it!
