The number of Yalong Bay Cave People rapidly increased, continually being sent to Jupiter.
With this group's addition, the sealed mega-structure finally began to awaken from its long slumber.
The cave-dwellers on Jupiter completed the first String Light command editing, successfully slowing down a Star Anchor.
In the space hole region connecting Earth and Jupiter, two Star Anchors could now be freely activated and deactivated, with the ability to reset their rotation speed.
Through the Star Anchor, the cave-dwellers discovered an ultra-high-pressure state material connected at its base to Jupiter, primarily consisting of a liquid metallic hydrogen layer.
Twenty-seven days later.
The Star Anchor determined that beneath Jupiter's metallic hydrogen layer was a slushy fluid, mainly composed of superionic water ice, mixed with a significant amount of rock salt.
Scattered remnants of broken intelligent cores were also found here, with cave-dweller corpses discovered inside. Using the Star Anchor, the cave-dwellers gradually retrieved them, reading the records on the remains.
Sixty-one days later.
Deeper within the core boundary, beneath a supercritical fluid of iron-silicon compounds, was found an enormous void.
Dong showed Zhou Yi the scene observed by the Star Anchor.
It appeared to be a material resembling a spherical black hole.
Its structure was incredibly stable, with a force field repelling surrounding material from approaching it, being a high-density energy body.
"Mr. Zhou, according to the Star Anchor's information, this is a 12-dimensional space hole."
"Normally, 12-dimensional space holes are rare and can self-migrate. Most 12-dimensional space passages are sealed space bubbles, and due to their high energy density, cannot be forcibly opened. Such a freely open hole is exceedingly rare in the universe."
"Jupiter's core is precisely this 12-dimensional space hole; upon this discovery, the String Civilization utilized its energy and inherent gravity to modify it into the current stellar megastructure."
Dong narrated. The source of thɪs content is novel✦fire.net
At the edge of this high-dimensional space hole, light arcs flashed in and out, resembling evaporation, accompanied by numerous particle fragments between the arcs.
Expanding the view further.
One could find that those particles were actually tiny stones, with many arcs of light appearing on these fragments, seemingly marked by the space hole.
These fragments gradually blended into the surrounding environment, beginning to drift with the waves.
Upon seeing them fully, Zhou Yi was surprised: "The Intelligence Cores weren't artificially made, but erupted from the 12-dimensional space hole?"
Dong said: "This revelation greatly surprised the cave-dwellers too. We also didn't know that the origin of the cave-dwellers wasn't here but on the highest dimension side."
"However, these primordial forms of the Intelligence Core don't directly birth cave-dwellers; special conditions are required, and only a small portion inside can ultimately birth cave-dwellers."
This place is largely confirmed as the source of the Intelligence Core of the Cave People's ancestral origin.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but think.
This scene of the black spherical space hole gently releasing Intelligence Cores capable of hatching cave-dwellers, seemed familiar...
He suddenly caught a spark of inspiration.
Human reproduction involves a small sperm entering a relatively large egg, forming a fertilized egg, and gradually developing into an embryo.
This 12-dimensional space hole is like a cosmic-level fertilized egg incubating special life.
Cave People are born contrary to humans, starting from a fertilized egg state, then secreting or releasing Intelligence Cores akin to daughter cells, which in turn nurture cave-dwellers.
Thus, cave-dwellers are undoubtedly 12-dimensional space life.
Zhou Yi had another question: "If so, why did the cave-dwellers go extinct? Logically, as the Intelligence Cores continue to be produced, cave-dwellers should gradually be born on Jupiter, right?"
Dong stated: "While many Intelligence Cores are indeed produced here, they naturally can't evolve into cave-dwellers."
"Ultimately, they'll only transform into salt rock form, becoming part of Jupiter's core."
"To birth cave-dwellers, activation through a one-dimensional space hole is needed. The Intelligence Core material must be sent into a one-dimensional space for dimensional deactivation, then returned through dimensional elevation... Only through such continual dimensional compression can the potential cave-dweller factor in the material be activated, allowing the life of cave-dwellers to sprout."
"The whole process resembles forging iron, repeatedly hammering and compressing until a resilient piece of metal is formed."
Zhou Yi observed, around the 12-dimensional space hole, indeed lay small space holes.
As the 12-dimensional space hole of Jupiter's core spewed out Intelligence Cores, many entered these space holes, then emerged from others. It's like some stellar device forging impurities out of fragments.
The core's space hole was wrapped in purple String Light, like crisscrossing threads, locking a gigantic black sphere.
The compressed and altered Intelligence Cores were all absorbed by the String Light's gravity, firmly fixed in this zone of purple light, unable to move.
"The space hole can no longer produce new cave-dwellers."
Dong narrated: "The reason is that this giant structure of Jupiter was issued a command by the String Civilization through the String Light, locking the birth of new inhabitants."
"Intelligence Cores will still erupt here, but the String Light penetrates and secures them in the Earth Core region. If they can't be brought close to the surface area, in this overly high-pressure, high-temperature lethal environment, cave-dwellers cannot be born."
