Chapter 421 In-depth Exploration and Unexpected Discoveries
During their time on Dawn Star, Lin Yu and his team devoted themselves entirely to studying the mysterious energy fluctuations. They worked closely with local scientists, day and night in that intelligent circular building, busy with various instruments and data. Standing before the enormous holographic star map, Lin Yu frowned, his eyes fixed on the flickering points representing the mysterious energy fluctuations, trying to find patterns in their trajectories.
“These energy fluctuations seem chaotic, yet they also appear to follow some extremely complex rules,” Ellie said, pointing to the constantly changing lines on the star map, her voice tinged with confusion. Beside her, an elderly scientist from Dawn Star named Ivan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with deep thought: “We’ve tried countless analytical methods, but we’ve never been able to fully unravel the mystery behind this. However, we’ve discovered a subtle connection between these energy fluctuations and an ancient ruin on our planet.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes flashed with excitement: "Ancient ruins? Perhaps there are key clues hidden there. Could you tell me more about them?" Aiven slowly said, "In the far north of the planet, there is an ancient ruin covered in ice and snow. Legend has it that it is the origin of our civilization and the hub for communicating with the mysterious forces of the universe. We have detected signals similar to these energy fluctuations in the ruins, but due to the powerful energy barrier within the ruins, we have never been able to explore it further."
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yu said, "Let's give it a try. Maybe we can find a way to break through." Thus, an exploration team consisting of Lin Yu, Ellie, and several elites from Dawn Star set off for the far north of the planet in a specially designed aircraft.
As the aircraft approached the ruins, a powerful chill swept over them. Before them stretched a vast, boundless ice field, and in its center, a massive black structure loomed, exuding a mysterious and austere aura. The aircraft slowly landed near the ruins, and the team members, donning their cold-weather gear, cautiously made their way towards the structure.
As they approached the building, an invisible energy barrier blocked their way. "The strength of this energy barrier is beyond imagination; our conventional equipment simply cannot break through it," Ellie said, frowning as she operated the detector in her hand. Lin Yu circled the barrier, observing it carefully. Suddenly, he noticed several symbols on the barrier that were shimmering faintly, somewhat similar to the ancient symbols they had seen in the city of Dawn Star.
"Evan, do you recognize these symbols?" Lin Yu asked, pointing to them. Evan leaned closer to examine them carefully, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "These are ancient runes of our civilization, representing the convergence and release of energy. Perhaps we can activate these runes through specific energy fluctuations, thereby opening the barrier."
The group sprang into action, using their portable energy devices to adjust energy fluctuations to a specific frequency, as instructed by Evan. The instant the energy fluctuations came into contact with the rune, the rune shone brightly, the energy barrier began to fluctuate, and gradually a gap appeared that allowed someone to pass through.
"We did it!" the team members whispered excitedly, passing through the gap one by one and entering the ruins. The interior was dark and silent, the walls covered with strange patterns and characters, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura in the dim light. They cautiously proceeded along the passageway, when suddenly, a vast, empty hall appeared before them, with a sphere emitting a ghostly blue light suspended in its center.
"What is this?" a team member asked in surprise. Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance and slowly approached the sphere. Just as they got close, the sphere suddenly emitted a bright light, and images appeared within the light. These images included the awe-inspiring scene of the Big Bang, the wondrous moment of the birth of life, and the rise and fall of various strange civilizations in the universe.
"These images seem to be telling the story of the origin and development of the universe," Lin Yu exclaimed. However, before they could study them further, the floor of the hall suddenly began to shake, and cracks spread across the ground. At the same time, huge mechanical devices slowly rose from the walls around the hall, flashing red light, seemingly activating some kind of defense mechanism.
"Oh no! We've triggered the ruins' defense system!" Lin Yu shouted. "Everyone, be careful!" In these perilous ruins, can they escape unscathed from the defense system's attacks, and can they find the key to solving the cosmic crisis from these unexpected discoveries?
