"Wait, hold on!"
Zhao Zijie's expression shifted slightly as he asked urgently, "Fifty Black Lady Twos-how many people did you bring?"
With a smile in his eyes, Bart gave him a number. "Fifty-two."
"Counting the two stationed aboard the Luan Bird and the two aboard the [Glutton], we're exactly two people short. You two."

"You two know Titan best, so naturally, you can't leave."

A week later.
With the robots working around the clock, an enormous basin appeared on Titan's shore.
The basin's interior was made of steel with high thermal conductivity, while its exterior was wrapped in highly insulating material.
A large electric heating system was installed at the bottom.
The basin was shallow, with sides only a little over ten meters high.
Once the tide rose, its upper rim would probably sit just a meter or two above the sea.
This design also made it easier for the jellyfish to enter.
Overall, the entire killing apparatus looked rather like an oversized electric hot pot.
Although its structure was simple and its construction crude, to the jellyfish living on Titan, it was the equivalent of a nuclear weapon.
Aboard the Luan Bird Starship.
Having lived on Titan for over a month, Zhao Zijie took command of the operation.
He sat in the captain's seat with a solemn expression, gazing out at the rolling methane sea.
The sky gradually darkened as Titan's eight-day night descended.
Zhao Zijie's gaze shifted slightly.
The wind had picked up.
Under the combined influence of Saturn's gravity and hurricane-force winds, ever-higher waves rose from the
