I handed over to another world

The Abyss's bulkheads groaned under the weight, their metal frames twisting and deforming under the extreme pressure of Jupiter's core.

Captain Wang Yan held on to the edge of the console tightly, watching the collection progress bar stagnate at 89%.

"Hold on for another thirty seconds!" Wang Yan shouted into the communicator, "Transfer all the backup energy to the collector!"

Engineer Li Ming's fingers flew across the holographic control panel, and the sweat on his forehead formed floating water droplets in the weightless environment.

"Energy transfer completed, but shell integrity only remains at 12%!"

Outside the window, golden supercritical hydrogen surged like lava, occasionally flashing strange hexagonal ripples.

Wang Yan suddenly noticed that the ripples were exactly the same as the patterns of the nanomachines in the infected person's brain.

"Captain!" the radar operator suddenly screamed, "Gravity anomaly detected! Something is approaching!"

On the main screen, a huge shadow emerged from the depths of the golden ocean.

That was not the Morning Star spacecraft, but a giant structure naturally formed from liquid metallic hydrogen - its surface was covered with the same hexagonal patterns as the nanomachines.

"This is impossible……"

Biologist Dr. Xu Ying stuck to the observation window, "How could Jupiter's core have such a structure?"

At this moment, the collection progress bar suddenly jumped to 100%.

Almost at the same time, a terrible tearing sound was heard from the hull of the Abyss.

"The shell is broken! Urgently surface!"

Wang Yan pressed the red button - boom!

The spacecraft rose rapidly like a stone thrown by a giant, pushed by the compressed gas.

The communications officer desperately adjusted the antenna: "Command Center, we found an unusual object!"

The signal was suddenly cut off by a sharp interference sound, and the huge hexagonal structure on the main screen began to glow, and its frequency was even completely synchronized with the signal from the Kuiper Belt!
"It's sending a signal!"

Xu Ying was horrified to find familiar ripples appearing on her biometric scanner, "And...it's affecting our brains!"

Wang Yan felt dizzy, and fragments of memories that did not belong to him flashed before his eyes - scenes of countless civilizations being swallowed up, and a huge hexagonal structure composed of seven galaxies.

"Don't look at that pattern!" He ordered, suppressing his headache, "Activate the electromagnetic shielding for the entire ship!"

Fortunately, the Red Dragon Association's equipment was powerful enough at this time, and their previous efforts were obviously effective. The spacecraft suddenly pulled out of the liquid hell and quickly increased its altitude.

"Those damn things are still chasing us!"

Xu Ying spoke again. She saw that the huge device behind them actually rushed out from the liquid hell and continued to chase them.

"Speed ​​up! Keep speeding up!"

The Abyss broke through Jupiter's atmosphere with violent vibrations, and the Morningstar spacecraft chasing behind it suddenly turned collectively, gave up the pursuit and returned to the glowing structure.

"They...are protecting that thing?"

Li Ming spoke in confusion, but Wang Yan did not answer. He stared at the golden sample he brought back, in which tiny hexagonal structures could be vaguely seen reorganizing themselves.

"Isolate the sample immediately, highest level of protection."

When the Abyss returned to low-Earth orbit, battered and battered, they were greeted not by a rescue fleet but by a dozen Red Dragon warships with their guns charged.

"Abyss, shut down the engine immediately and accept boarding inspection."

A cold voice came from the communication channel, "You may have been contaminated."

Wang Yan looked at the bridge crew members, and everyone had the same fear in their eyes - they all knew what the standard purification procedure meant.

"This is Wang Yan from the Abyss." He pressed the communication button. "We brought back samples, but we also brought back more important discoveries! There is an artificial structure in the core of Jupiter, which may be a facility of the Morning Star Community..."

The signal was suddenly cut off and the battleship's tractor beam locked onto the Abyss.

"Be prepared to accept compulsory isolation." Wang Yan said solemnly, and quietly stuffed the data chip into the launch device of the emergency cabin, "At least let the truth be transmitted back."

Just as the Red Dragon Marines broke into the room, Wang Yan pressed the fire button.

The micro escape pod, carrying the data chip, glided silently into the Earth's atmosphere.

At the same time, the golden sample in the medical cabin suddenly became active, forming a small hexagonal vortex in the container...

When the micro escape capsule broke through the Earth's atmosphere, Chen Lin was reviewing the latest scan report in the command center.

An alarm suddenly sounded and a flashing red dot appeared on the low-Earth orbit monitoring screen.

"An unknown object broke through the defense network!" The monitor's voice was tense, "It's... it's the Abyss's escape pod!"

Chen Lin walked quickly to the holographic projection and watched the micro-pod falling towards the lake behind the Red Dragon Association headquarters in a precisely calculated trajectory. "Immediately block the lake area and send a task force to salvage it."

When the technicians took out the data chip from the escape pod, ominous hexagonal light patterns were flashing on the surface of the chip.

Chen Lin put on protective gloves and inserted the chip into the isolation terminal.

The holographic projection instantly unfolded, showing the last scene recorded by Wang Yan - the huge hexagonal structure at the core of Jupiter, and a fragmentary voice:

"… not naturally formed… older than the morning star… they are waiting to be awakened…"

Xu Ruolan suddenly pointed at the edge of the projection: "Zoom in on that area!"

Magnified images show that the surface of the giant structure is engraved with a spiral pattern that is strikingly similar to human DNA.

Everyone at the scene was stunned. How could things from the Morning Star civilization be related to humans?
But they didn't have time to think yet, as the shrill alarm interrupted the thoughts of everyone present.

An emergency communication from the medical department interrupted at this moment: "President! There is something wrong with the survivors of the Abyss! Their brain waves are synchronizing!"

In the surveillance footage of the isolation ward, five crew members including Wang Yan were lying in the medical cabin, with silver lines appearing on their temples.

What's even more terrifying is that these lines are pulsating at exactly the same frequency.

"Isolate the entire medical area immediately." Chen Lin pressed the alarm for the entire ship, "Prepare nerve blockers."

At this moment, the image of Jupiter on the main screen suddenly changed. The giant structure burst into intense light, and an energy beam spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers shot directly to the outer edge of the solar system.

"An object in the Oort Cloud has been detected to be activated!" The monitor exclaimed, "Hundreds of signal sources are waking up!"

On the holographic star map, hundreds of red dots moved from the edge of the solar system to the inside - Chen Lin immediately recognized this formation. These things were exactly the same as the patterns engraved on the surface of Jupiter's core structure. It can basically be determined that these things are facilities of the Morning Star civilization.

Chen Lin's fingers hovered above the holographic projection, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

The DNA comparison results flashed on the screen - those spiral structures looked similar to humans, but a completely different coding logic was hidden in the base sequence.

"This is not human DNA..." Xu Ruolan's voice tightened, "This is some kind of...imitation."

The alarm in the medical cabin suddenly became louder.

In the surveillance footage, the silver lines under Wang Yan's skin were wriggling like a living thing, his pupils split into a hexagonal honeycomb structure, and the corners of his mouth were twisted into an inhuman arc.

"We're back."

The five crew members in the medical bay spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping into an eerie harmony, "The Earth should have belonged to us."

Chen Lin suddenly looked up and looked at the image of Jupiter on the main screen.

The huge hexagonal structure was disintegrating, and countless golden fluids were stretching out like tentacles and reorganizing in space - they were forming black ships that were completely different from the Morning Star spacecraft, and the surface of the ship was covered with veins similar to the blood vessels of organisms on Earth.

"The signal source of the Oort Cloud is accelerating!" The monitor's voice was almost torn, "They are not the facilities of the Morning Star civilization - they are chasing the Morning Star!"

On the star map, hundreds of red dots suddenly split into two groups - one group was the silver-white light points of the Morning Star Fleet, and the other group was the dark signal source coming from the Oort Cloud.

The two forces collided violently near the Kuiper Belt, and the resulting energy fluctuations threw the entire solar system's communication system into chaos.

Xu Ying suddenly sent an urgent communication from the isolation room: "President! The sample analysis results are out - those golden fluids are not machines, but living things! A silicon-based life form based on liquid metal!"

"They call themselves... the natives of Earth!"

The floor of the command center suddenly shook, and from deep underground came the roar of some giant machine starting up.

An encrypted file that had never been seen before automatically popped up on Chen Lin's terminal, and an ancient video appeared on the screen - on the surface of the earth tens of thousands of years ago, countless black towers rose from the ground, and the sky was covered by a hexagonal energy grid.

Standing under those towers are creatures that look like humans but are covered in silver shells.

Chen Lin's palm pressed on the holographic projection table, and the cold touch suddenly became hot. The DNA map on the screen suddenly twisted and reorganized, and a fault structure similar to that of geological layers appeared in the base sequence. Xu Ruolan suddenly covered her temples, and a memory that did not belong to her gushed out like magma - at a certain ancient dawn, the entire earth's atmosphere turned into a burning giant hand, throwing the creature covered with silver shells into the stars.

"This is not a replica..." Chen Lin's pupils reflected the ever-changing map, "This is the genetic memory of the earth itself!"

The medical cabin suddenly exploded, and the alienated Wang Yan was suspended in mid-air, with patterns of continental plates emerging on his liquid metal body.

Seven glowing spheres emerged from his chest, arranged in a strange shape.

"You think Morning Star is the enemy?" His voice echoed with the rumble of the earth's core. "It's just a puppet civilization we cultivated in Rigel."

The star map suddenly expanded, and the battle in the Kuiper Belt revealed the horrible truth - inside each Morning Star spaceship were curled up larvae of silver-armored creatures, gnawing at the nerve cords of the Morning Star people.

The black fleet attacking from the Oort Cloud suddenly changed direction, and tens of thousands of ships formed a huge hexagonal matrix in space, which resonated with the cracked silver structure of the moon.

"Mother Earth buried us with a magnetic pole reversal,"

Wang Yan's body began to crystallize, gradually turning into a material similar to obsidian. "But she didn't expect that we have preserved the fire outside the earth..."

The global earthquake monitoring network sent out a shrill alarm, and a gap of 20,000 kilometers long appeared on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

In the images sent back by the deep-sea detector, countless silver-armored creatures are being reborn in the magma on the seabed. In their hands, they are holding weapons that are transformed from the wreckage of human nuclear submarines.

A strange buzzing sound suddenly rang in Chen Lin's ears. It was not a sound, but the pulsation of the earth's core vibrating directly in his brain.

All the screens in the command center flashed emerald light at the same time, displaying abnormal data from all over the earth - a never-before-seen lavender gas was seeping into the atmosphere.

"Atmospheric composition suddenly changes!"

The monitor exclaimed, "Gas with unknown molecular structure has been detected spreading around the world!"

Xu Ruolan suddenly pointed to the surveillance screen - at the Pacific Rift, those newly reborn silver-armored creatures suddenly twitched violently.

Green smoke came out of their shiny shells, and they began to dissolve as if they were doused with strong acid!
What's even more terrifying is that countless tiny hexagonal structures emerged from the dissolved silver liquid. They frantically tried to reorganize themselves, but they kept disintegrating under the encirclement of the purple gas.

"Is this... Earth's immune response!?"

Chen Lin looked at the purple gas cloud spreading across the globe on the holographic projection, "It is releasing targeted biological weapons!"

The silver device on the back of the moon suddenly vibrated violently, and the seven beams of light shot towards the earth turned into a warning scarlet color.

On the star map, the alien fleets that were piecing together a hexagonal matrix began to lose control, with ships colliding and exploding with each other.

A large amount of silver liquid gushed out from each exploding ship, condensing into strange sculptures in space.

A crack suddenly appeared in Wang Yan's crystalline body, and silver blood oozed out.

"Impossible..." His voice began to distort, "We have obviously adapted to the Earth's environment..."

At this moment, the golden sample brought back by the Abyss suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

In the surveillance footage of the isolation cabin, those tiny hexagonal structures are frantically reorganizing to form a miniature silver human figure.

But just as it was about to take shape, the ventilation system automatically injected purple gas, and the silver figure immediately collapsed like a melted wax figure.

"Attention all bases!" Chen Lin immediately started a global broadcast, "Shut down all external ventilation systems immediately! This gas only targets alien creatures!"

The surveillance footage from the surface showed that wherever the purple gas went, all the silver-armored creatures were struggling in pain.

They tried to burrow underground, but the same gas began to seep out of the soil - even more amazing was that the silver lines on the infected Abyss crew members were fading, and their pupils were gradually returning to normal.

"The Earth is healing the infected humans..." Xu Ruolan's voice was filled with awe, "It can tell who its own children are."

Suddenly, the main console received a signal from deep inside the earth. There was no language, only a series of pulses - like a heartbeat, or some kind of ancient code. Chen Lin suddenly understood something and immediately called up the global seismic wave imaging map.

"The core of the earth... the core of the earth is changing its structure!" He pointed at the perfect 20-sided crystal structure that was being formed on the image. "This is not a natural phenomenon... the earth is actively transforming its core!"

"Oh my god..."

Chen Lin was also completely shocked like everyone else at the scene. "This is really unbelievable..." (End of this chapter)
