Chapter 337 Exploring Mysterious Areas and the Reappearance of Mysterious Signals
Lin Yu commanded the fleet to slowly retreat from the dangerous cosmic dust zone, stopping in relatively safe airspace to begin emergency repairs on the damaged warships. Technicians raced against time, the sounds of tools clashing echoing inside the ships. Lin Yu and Ellie were on the bridge, monitoring the repair progress while analyzing the details of the recent battle.
“The technology of that giant warship far exceeds our imagination, and the strength of the dark forces is unfathomable.” Ellie studied the combat data repeatedly, her brows furrowed.
Lin Yu nodded, his expression grave: "But we didn't come away empty-handed. At least we now know that their weapons and defenses are not invincible."
At that moment, the fleet's communications officer suddenly reported: "Captain, we have received another mysterious signal, which is somewhat similar to the signal we received near the ruins before, but not exactly the same."
Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity. "Analyze the signal source and content immediately; this might be the key clue to finding the headquarters of the dark forces," Lin Yu quickly ordered.
The research team acted swiftly, and after a tense process of deciphering, the source of the signal was located deep within this mysterious region of the universe. While the signal content was mostly gibberish, several key symbols closely matched those found in ancient civilization ruins.
"It seems we can't leave like this. This mysterious area must be hiding more secrets." Lin Yu looked at the markers indicating the source of the signal on the star map and made a decision.
The fleet readjusted its course and headed towards the signal source. As they ventured deeper, the surrounding cosmic environment became increasingly bizarre. Space seemed to be distorted by some force, the starlight dimmed and flickered, and small meteorite clusters exhibited unusual trajectories.
"Be careful and avoid them. The movement of these meteorites is very strange. Don't get too close," Lin Yu reminded each warship through the communication channel.
As the fleet cautiously advanced, a massive energy vortex suddenly appeared ahead. The vortex shimmered with various colors of light, and powerful turbulent energy streams continuously spewed out from it, resembling a giant trap in the universe.
"The energy intensity of this energy vortex is extremely high. If our warship is caught in it, it will likely be torn to pieces." Ellie analyzed the detection data, her face full of worry.
Lin Yu carefully observed the energy vortex, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I think this vortex is related to the signal we are tracking, and the source of the signal seems to be at the center of the vortex."
"But how are we going to get through it?" a fleet commander asked.
Everyone fell into deep thought. At this moment, a young engineer stepped forward: "Captain, I have an idea. We can use the warship's energy shield to create a stable energy field around us to resist the vortex's suction, and then use the engines at maximum power to propel us quickly through the vortex."
A hint of appreciation flashed in Lin Yu's eyes: "Theoretically feasible, but very risky. However, we have no better solution. All warships, take note: prepare according to this plan and be ready to act at any time."
The fleet slowly approached the energy vortex, each warship activating its shields at maximum power and its engines roaring deafeningly. As the warships entered the edge of the vortex, a powerful suction force instantly struck, causing the warships to shake violently.
"Stabilize! Maintain a stable energy output!" Lin Yu shouted.
Under immense pressure, the shield energy of several warships began to drop rapidly, and alarms sounded incessantly. "Increase energy output, hold on!" Lin Yu stared intently at the screen, his hands gripping the control stick tightly.
Just as the shield was about to shatter, the fleet finally managed to pass through the energy vortex. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could even recover, the scene before them stunned them.
At the center of the vortex, a colossal interstellar city floated suspended. Strange lights flickered within the city, its massive buildings arranged in a staggered pattern, surrounded by a dense array of defensive structures. And the mysterious signal emanated from this city.
"Is this the headquarters of the dark forces?" Ellie murmured to herself.
Lin Yu's expression was serious: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, we must proceed with caution. First, conduct a comprehensive scan to understand the situation."
Just as the fleet prepared to begin scanning, the city's defenses suddenly activated, and beams of energy shot towards the fleet. It seemed their arrival had been detected. How should the fleet respond to this mysterious city's attack? And could they uncover the secrets hidden behind it?
