Chapter 447: The Radiation Dilemma and the Mysterious Rescue
The fleet moved slowly along the edge of the radiation belt, the energy readings of the protection systems steadily climbing, emitting sharp alarms. High-energy particles in the radiation belt, like dense bullets, relentlessly bombarded the warships' shields, creating ripples of energy. Lin Yu stared intently at the screen, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead, his hands flying across the control panel, trying to find the optimal path through.
"The radiation intensity is far beyond expectations, and the shield's energy is being consumed too quickly!" The shield operator's voice was visibly tense. Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Adjust the shield frequency, try to find gaps in the radiation particle attacks, and reduce energy consumption." The technician responded quickly, his fingers dancing across the control panel, adjusting the shield's frequency.
However, the situation in the radiation belts was far more complex than expected. The impact of high-energy particles not only failed to weaken but intensified, and the shield's energy was decreasing at a visible rate. "How long can the energy last?" Lin Yu asked anxiously. "At most fifteen minutes, after which the shield will completely fail." The operator's answer made the atmosphere on the bridge even more tense.
Just as everyone was sinking into despair, a jumble of static signals suddenly came through the fleet's communication channel. Immediately afterward, a strange but gentle voice rang out: "Foreign fleet, you are traversing a dangerous zone. Do you need assistance?" Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly responded: "We are a fleet from the Cosmic Alliance, currently on a mission, and have encountered a radiation zone predicament. Who are you?"
After a brief silence, the other party replied, "We are the guardians of this universe, having lived here for a long time, and we are quite familiar with the radiation belts. Please adjust your fleet's course according to our guidance, and we will help you cross the radiation belts." Lin Yu did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the fleet to act according to the other party's instructions.
Guided by the mysterious voice, the fleet slowly changed course, heading towards a seemingly more dangerous area within the radiation belt. The surrounding high-energy particles grew increasingly dense, and the shield's light flickered erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment. "Can this really work?" a team member couldn't help but ask. Lin Yu's gaze was firm: "Trust them; they are our only hope right now."
As the fleet ventured deeper, something strange happened. A gap suddenly appeared in the previously dense stream of high-energy particles, as if pried open by an invisible hand. The fleet successfully passed through this gap, and the radiation intensity began to gradually decrease. "We did it! We did it!" cheers erupted from the bridge.
Soon after, the fleet came to a stop in a relatively calm area of space. A massive spaceship slowly emerged from the darkness. Its shape was unlike any spaceship Lin Yu and the others had ever seen before; its surface shimmered with a soft light and exuded a mysterious aura. The spaceship's hatch opened, and a figure dressed in a white robe slowly stepped out. His face was benevolent, and his eyes revealed wisdom and power.
"Welcome to this universe, brave guardians," the mysterious figure said with a smile. Lin Yu stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your help. Without you, we probably wouldn't have been able to cross the radiation belt. May I ask who you are?" The mysterious figure nodded slightly. "My name is Augu. I am a native of this universe, protecting the peace and tranquility here. We sensed your arrival and felt the mission you bear."
Lin Yu explained their mission in detail to Augu, as well as the unusual signals detected by the Cosmic Alliance. After listening, Augu's expression turned serious: "We have also detected those unusual signals. They come from the ruins of a forgotten ancient civilization. A great secret is hidden there, and there may also be unknown dangers."
“Can you tell us more about this ruin?” Ellie asked eagerly. Augu pondered for a moment: “This ruin is located in the core region of the star cluster, surrounded by various defense mechanisms and puzzles. Many brave explorers have tried to enter, but none have returned. If you wish to go, you must be extremely careful.”
Guided by Augu, Lin Yu and the fleet continued their journey towards the core of the star cluster. Ahead lay the mysteries of an ancient civilization's ruins, as well as unknown dangers and challenges. Would they be able to successfully unravel the secrets of the ruins and uncover the truth behind the unusual signals?
