Arrival at the Oort Cloud!
Instance World!
The location of the portal between the Solar System and the Trisolaran star system.
After a brief Spatial Jump, Turet and his Green Vine Army have entered this mysterious world.
The ten warships were like tiny sparks of light suddenly igniting in a dark world.
When setting up the teleportation portal, Lin Dong deliberately placed the portal for the Solar System at the very edge of the Solar System.
The outermost edge of the Oort Cloud!
He's not some great philanthropist, and he certainly wouldn't do the kind of thankless and foolish thing that Kaza suggested.
The portal was placed at the very edge, ensuring that Challengers had to experience the entire defensive perimeter.
This maximizes the Instance experience.
Furthermore, being at the very edge of the Solar System, these Challengers would be surprised to find this when they travel from the Three-Body Problem World.
The harsh environment at the very edge of this Solar System is in no way any better than the Chaotic Era of the Trisolaran star system...
Because this is the region with the weakest gravitational pull in the Solar System, it exhibits a chaotic and disorderly state.
The moment they entered this world, the Green Vine Army felt a bone-chilling cold.
A profound chill and darkness enveloped the ten Ancient Tree Aerospace Battleship.
"Holy crap, why is this place so cold?"
Turet rubbed his palms together vigorously.
He sensed a thin layer of frost forming inside the Ancient Tree Aerospace Battleship.
This place is too far from the Sun Fixed Star, its light is so faint that it can provide almost no heat, and the ambient temperature is close to absolute zero (-270°C), so naturally there is no light to be found here.
After a series of complaints, he maneuvered the Aerospace Battleship to begin scanning the environment ahead.
Soon, preliminary information appeared on the screens in the Command Cabin.
At this moment, countless frozen celestial bodies, including comets, ice dwarfs, and some remaining debris, float in front of the fleet.
Preliminary analysis suggests that the surfaces of these small celestial bodies are covered with methane, nitrogen ice, and water ice.
Here, the Sun Wind weakens into weak ripples that collide with the interstellar medium, forming what is known as the Sun Wind.
Then visually, a wall composed of tiny interstellar dust will appear.
At the same time, Light Screen displaying the Instance map appeared before Turet's eyes, marking the Challengers's current location in the Solar System.
In the vast map, the Green Vine Fleet is as insignificant as 10 specks of dust.
The map shows that this location is approximately 50,000 to 100,000 astronomical units from the Sun and 1.6 light-years from Earth.
"Lin Ye's map is indeed very detailed."
Turet couldn't help but sigh.
Due to the extreme darkness, the Green Vine Army's 10 warships had no idea where to go and could only scout out the environment first.
At this moment, Turet is unaware of a very cruel problem.
The Oort Cloud is broadly defined as the outermost layer of the Solar System, but what many don't realize is that this spherical cloud has a radius of one light-year...
Their spaceships couldn't reach from the Trisolaran star system to the Solar System.
Even though they've passed through the portal, they still won't be able to fly there in the short term.
Their spaceships wouldn't have enough energy to support such a long journey if they wanted to attack Earth Online.
"Damn it! We've fallen for Lin Ye's trick again!" Kaza suddenly screamed from the side.
This excessive noise enraged Turet, who was already shivering, and he slapped Kaza across the face.
"Why are you saying such discouraging things?"
Kaza covered his face, and said with a sob in his voice, sounding aggrieved.
"Commander! This Lin Ye is incredibly cunning! He placed the teleportation portal at the very edge of this star system, which is extremely far from both the Sun and Earth!"
"We don't have enough energy and fuel to get there in time."
Only after being told that did Turet realize how tricky the map's design was.
Yes.
Even with a portal, if the map of the Solar System is already large enough, the same dilemma still applies.
He immediately roared in anger.
"That seems to be true!"
"That damn Lin Ye, why didn't he place the portal near Earth? If it's really to make it easier for Challengers to experience the Instance, shouldn't he have placed the portal near the battleground?"
"They say they want to make things easier for Challengers, but they're really just playing us for fools."
The conversation between Turet and Kaza must have made the viewers in the Livestream Room laugh.
[Hilarious! Setting up a portal on Earth? Why don't you just put it in front of your house? That way you can just walk through the portal and start fighting.]
Setting up a portal is already the greatest mercy I can show you!
[These Green Vine people are still fantasizing about clearing the Instance? Don't they realize they're being crushed the whole way?]
[As Dungeon Designer, isn't it perfectly normal to design things to mess with you guys?]
If you don't have the ability, don't talk nonsense!
