Just over an hour later, Zhao Zijie switched off the Hall Thruster, thoroughly satisfied.
"Whoa!"
Gao Yang strode over to the porthole and looked down.
"That worked like a charm!"
A smile spread across Zhao Zijie's face. "Of course it did. High temperatures are these creatures' natural enemy!"
"According to the test results, most of their bodies consist of liquid methane."
"Just like the water in Earth's organisms."
"At the current atmospheric pressure, methane liquefies at around -160 degrees Celsius."
"In other words, if the ambient temperature rises by more than 20 degrees Celsius, these creatures will burst and die."
"But even so, they still can't resist their instincts."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Holographic Image suddenly appeared beside the captain's seat.
"Captain Zhao Zijie, those creatures outside are still alive, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Zijie grew even more embarrassed. "How about I fish a few more out of the sea for you?"
Lü Yongchang: "..."

"Some of the test results aren't back yet anyway."
Curiosity flickered in Gao Yang's eyes. "Professor, did you discover something?"
"Are these jellyfish useful to us?"
Lü Yongchang made no attempt to hide anything. He nodded and
