After successfully setting foot on Mars and the moons of Jupiter, humanity began turning their attention to the space between these two planets—the Asteroid Belt.
There, countless asteroids drifted between Mars and Jupiter, presenting new opportunities. In response, the world governments began constructing facilities on Mars and Jupiter's moons, dedicated to producing spacecraft for mining operations in the Asteroid Belt.
With these plans, humanity envisioned the next great leap: expanding beyond the Solar System itself.
However, such expansion demanded much larger and far more advanced spacecraft.
Thanks to breakthroughs in warp technology and dimensional gate systems, the new plan was simple yet ambitious:
If a spacecraft successfully lands on a distant planet, a dimensional gate could then connect it back to the Solar System, allowing mass colonization and resource transfer almost instantly.
Meanwhile, exploration of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, officially began.
Ten volunteers, all of whom had undergone the full 5-organ and 2-external-organ surgeries, agreed to embark on this historic journey to Saturn's moon—marking another milestone for human exploration.
The ten volunteers thoroughly studied all available documents about Titan.
They realized that Titan was incredibly far from Earth, much farther than Mars or the moons of Jupiter they had previously explored.
Their main mission this time was:
To install a Dimensional Gate on Titan's surface, allowing faster and stable travel between the solar system and Titan.
To search for new resources that could support humanity's expansion.
To detect potential life forms — either water-based or even methane-based.
Using space-warping technology, their spacecraft finally arrived in Titan's orbit after two full days of travel.
The journey consumed a massive amount of energy, powered by reactors developed on Mars.
As they approached Titan, they witnessed a strange and mesmerizing sight:
Vast seas of liquid methane glistening like black mirrors.
Gigantic mountains seemingly made of solid ice and frozen rock.
Flat lands covered by a thick orange haze.
After a brief discussion, the team decided to land on a large ice plain.
This surface was chosen because:
It offered greater stability for landing.
It was less hostile compared to the open methane seas.
Most importantly, beneath the ice sheet, there were signs of a subsurface ocean — which might harbor primitive life forms.
Before landing, one of the scientists read an important note aloud:
> "Some researchers on Earth believe that if life exists on Titan, it could be methane-based or hydrocarbon-based.
Such life would be vastly different from any water-based life on Earth."
With a mix of excitement and apprehension, the spacecraft finally pierced through the dense haze and gently touched down on the frozen plain.
As the engines powered down, orange mist danced outside the windows.
After successfully landing their spacecraft, the ten volunteers prepared to exit.
Wearing specially designed suits tailored for Titan's extreme environment, they stepped out one by one onto the frozen surface.
As they left the airlock, a strange, bitter smell hit them.
Scientifically, the air on Titan was filled with hydrocarbons like methane and ethane, along with trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide — making it toxic for normal human respiration.
However, thanks to their enhanced internal organs and adaptive suits, the volunteers could produce and recycle oxygen independently, ensuring their survival.
They carefully observed their surroundings:
They had landed atop a solid sheet of frozen methane, which reflected their figures like a distorted mirror.
One of the engineers asked through the comms,
> "Can our equipment drill through solid methane?"
The lead technician replied,
> "Yes, but it'll take time. Methane ice is tough, especially in Titan's temperatures."
They soon deployed portable drills and began boring a hole into the reflective ice.
However, after just a few minutes, they encountered an unexpected discovery.
Crawling near the drill site was a creature — a spider-like organism whose body appeared partially transparent, resembling solidified methane.
Its legs were slow and stiff, adapted to the frigid conditions.
The creature glowed faintly, suggesting some internal bioluminescence or chemical reaction.

Meanwhile, back on Venus,
Rai, now freed from his earlier government missions, was using his immense wealth to develop a new enhanced power suit — a next-generation armor designed specifically for Venusian exploration.
His goal wasn't just survival.
Rai was determined to further evolve his five artificial organs and two external organs to an even higher level.
By combining:
Consistent training,
Careful scientific experimentation, and
Advanced technological support,
he was slowly but surely improving the performance of his enhanced senses — surpassing even the original biological limits.
Eventually, Rai published a comprehensive guide:
> "Training Manual for the Five Internal Organs and Two External Organs",
a book that detailed his exercises, methods, and progress strategies,
inspiring many others to follow in his footsteps.
Thanks to his relentless efforts and training, Rai had fully awakened the hidden potential of the seven artificial organs. Here's the latest evolution:
Pyrothermis Core:
Rai could now control his body temperature at will — heating it up to over 300°C without injury or dropping it close to 0°C, enough to freeze water instantly.
He had even gained the ability to create fire from his hands and manipulate flames, with the possibility of eventually forming ice directly from ambient air.
Aqualung:
The Aqualung not only allowed generation of water from within his body but now could extract water molecules directly from the surrounding atmosphere.
It could synthesize H₂O from available materials and elemental components, ensuring water supply anywhere, anytime.
Voltacore:
The upgraded Voltacore dramatically strengthened his resistance to cosmic radiation and electrical attacks.
Through intense training, Rai learned to manipulate electricity and absorb lightning, making his body even more resilient against electrical discharges.
Atmosmodulator:
Initially designed to break apart atoms to produce breathable oxygen, the Atmosmodulator had evolved:
It could now create oxygen directly from ambient energy sources — including heat, lightning, and natural energy, vastly enhancing his survival capabilities in oxygen-less atmospheres.
Dermafres Matrix:
Through unique training methods devised by Rai, the human skin matrix could now swell slightly like a pufferfish, providing resistance against extreme pressure.
Moreover, the skin could harden like diamond or stay flexible, adapting to different atmospheric conditions or vacuum environments with ease.
Beoforge Reactor:
Rai enhanced the Beoforge to store massive amounts of energy.
It could now form energy crystals capable of storing tens of millions of joules, powering all his organs in extreme conditions.
Gravity Core:
Through intensive gravity training, Rai developed a miniature telekinesis ability.
He could now levitate, move objects remotely, and even warp localized gravitational fields.

Because of the success of Rai's Organ Evolution Training Manual,
the world government decided to establish the first official Space Exploration Academy.
The entry requirement was strict:
> Students must first successfully undergo the Seven Organ Enhancement Surgery.
