The countdown ended.
The solar wind storm swept past Jupiter's orbit at hundreds of kilometers per second.
Although this was the strongest solar wind storm in human history, it was clearly too insignificant to pose much of a threat to Jupiter.
Confronted with Jupiter's powerful magnetic field, the surging solar wind storm obediently changed course, sweeping around the planet's enormous bulk.
Jupiter under the solar wind storm
"Large amounts of X-rays detected at Jupiter's poles."
Zero's alert rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
A moment later, the regions producing X-rays were marked in a distinctive color on the holographic projection directly ahead.
Those were Jupiter's auroras under the solar wind storm.
Unlike Earth's auroras, Jupiter's existed in the form of high-energy X-rays, carrying hundreds of times as much energy as those on Earth!
The invisible solar wind storm swept past Jupiter's orbit and charged straight toward Saturn beyond it.
Like Jupiter, Saturn had its own magnetic field.
"Speaking of which, if there are still jellyfish on Titan, will this solar wind storm affect them?"
Sitting in a corner, Gao Yang quietly posed the question to his teammate.
Zhao Zijie rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Seriously, why do you care so much about those jellyfish?"
"Forget the solar wind storm. Even if things had developed normally, those jellyfish would already have gone extinct."
Gao Yang gave an awkward chuckle, a flicker of unease crossing his eyes. "I don't know why, but I keep feeling something's wrong."
"It's like we left something behind on Titan."
Zhao Zijie ignored him.
After a brief silence, Gao Yang clicked his tongue softly and spoke again.
"Zijie, do you think it's possible that some of those jellyfish had already developed consciousness and deliberately hid from us?"
Zhao Zijie gave Gao Yang an exceedingly odd look. "..."
"I'll
