Chapter 451: Core Crisis and Difficult Choices
Lin Yu stared at the core device surrounded by electric current, his brow furrowed, knowing they faced a new challenge. The current was extremely strong; contact with it would have unimaginable consequences. He turned to his team members; though their eyes showed fatigue, they held even greater determination.
"Everyone be careful, this current is dangerous. Ellie, analyze the pattern of these currents and see if you can find a safe way to approach," Lin Yu said calmly. Ellie quickly took out her equipment and began scanning and analyzing the current. In this tense moment, every second felt exceptionally long.
"Lin Yu, the frequency of these currents keeps changing, and the changes are completely unpredictable. Finding a safe time to approach is very difficult," Ellie said with a hint of helplessness. Lin Yu nodded slightly, his gaze never leaving the core device, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures.
Just then, a burst of noise came through the fleet's communication channel, followed by an unfamiliar voice: "You shouldn't have come here. Once the secrets of these ruins are revealed, the consequences will be unpredictable." Lin Yu immediately responded: "We are the fleet of the Cosmic Alliance, tasked with exploring the truth. Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"
After a moment of silence, the other party said, "I was once a guardian of this ruin. Although I no longer have a physical body, I still have to fulfill my duties. The energy device in this ruin was created by an ancient civilization to cope with a huge disaster. Its power is too great. Once it gets out of control, the entire universe will be plunged into crisis."
Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He knew he faced a difficult choice: continue forward and unravel the secrets behind the unusual signals, or heed the warnings, abandon the exploration, and let the mystery persist. The team members also fell silent, waiting for Lin Yu's decision.
Lin Yu took a deep breath and said, "We've come a long way, overcoming countless hardships, all to uncover the truth. Now, the truth is right before our eyes, and we can't give up easily. But we also can't act rashly; we must ensure everything goes perfectly." He then looked at Ellie and asked, "Is there any way to interfere with these currents, even just for a brief moment?"
Ellie pondered for a moment and said, "We can try using the fleet's energy weapons to launch interference waves of a specific frequency, which might disrupt the frequency of the current, but this requires precise calculations and extremely high operational skills." Lin Yu nodded and said, "Okay, calculate the frequency of the interference wave immediately, and I will be in charge of launching it."
While Ellie was calculating nervously, Lin Yu returned to the flagship, sat at the control panel, his hands trembling slightly. He knew the success or failure of this operation hinged on this moment. "Frequency calculation complete, Lin Yu, are you ready?" Ellie's voice came through the communication channel.
"Ready." Lin Yu took a deep breath, concentrated, and controlled the energy weapon to fire a jamming wave according to the parameters given by Ellie. An invisible wave shot towards the current in the core device, and at the moment of contact, the frequency of the current became briefly disordered.
"Now!" Lin Yu shouted, leading his team towards the core device. They cautiously navigated through the chaotic currents, each step fraught with danger. Just as they were about to reach the core device, suddenly, the current intensified, and a thick beam of electricity surged towards Lin Yu.
In the nick of time, a team member lunged at Lin Yu, pushing him away, but was struck by electric current and instantly lost consciousness. "No!" Lin Yu cried out in anguish. He picked up the injured team member and quickly retreated to a safe area.
The current had returned to normal, once again tightly encircling the core device. Lin Yu looked at his unconscious team members, his heart filled with self-blame and anger. But he knew this was not the time for grief; they had to find a new method as soon as possible to unlock the secrets of the ruins and rescue their injured teammates. Could they find a way to break through this perilous core of the ruins once more?
