Chapter 199 Energy Injection and Amazing Discovery
The starship slowly approached the floating island and came to a steady stop after maintaining a safe distance. The crew on board maintained close contact with the crew on the island through communication equipment, constantly monitoring their every move.
The team members remaining on the island, following the established plan, carefully began constructing a temporary energy connection channel on the crystal ball. This was an extremely delicate and dangerous task; their hands trembled slightly, but their eyes were incredibly focused, and every operation was repeatedly calculated and confirmed. As various complex lines and instruments were gradually connected, a simple yet crucial energy connection channel was established beside the crystal ball.
On the starship, the commander gave the order to inject energy. With trepidation, the crew gradually adjusted the starship's energy output devices, slowly injecting a stable and controllable stream of energy into the connecting channel. This energy flowed along the channel towards the crystal sphere, and the crystal sphere began to change the moment it came into contact with the external energy.
Inside the once-quiet crystal ball, stellar energy began to flash intensely, like a sleeping beast being awakened. The runes and patterns on the surface lit up one by one, emitting a mysterious and dazzling light, and the energy within the entire circular structure instantly intensified. The team members watched the crystal ball's changes intently, their instruments constantly recording data, afraid of missing any crucial detail.
As energy continued to be injected, the crystal ball began to release faint energy fluctuations, which spread outwards and gradually permeated the entire mysterious area. Remarkably, as the fluctuations spread, subtle changes occurred in the surrounding cosmic space. Ancient buildings and facilities, previously hidden in darkness, gradually revealed their outlines, as if activated by the crystal ball's energy, beginning to shimmer with a faint light.
The team members were stunned by the sudden sight. They realized that these ancient buildings and facilities might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the mysterious area. Therefore, they decided to temporarily stop the energy injection, leaving one team member to continue studying the crystal ball and the surrounding buildings on the island, while the other team member took a landing craft to conduct on-site investigations of the ancient buildings that had just appeared.
The landing craft flew toward the nearest ancient building. As it approached, the team noticed that the building's style was similar to the circular structures they had seen on the floating islands, but it was far more magnificent. The building's doors were tightly shut, covered with dense runes and patterns that seemed to tell an ancient and mysterious story.
The team conducted an initial reconnaissance around the building and discovered some facilities that appeared to be energy receiving devices. These devices seemed to have some kind of energy connection with the crystal ball. They speculated that this building might be an important node in the energy network of the entire mysterious area, maintaining a certain balance or performing specific functions in conjunction with the crystal ball.
To gain access to the building, the team began trying to decipher the runes on the door. After some effort, they discovered a hidden code sequence within the runes. Following this sequence, the door slowly opened, releasing an ancient and mysterious aura.
The interior of the building was dark yet spacious, with huge luminous crystals embedded in the walls, emitting a soft glow that illuminated the entire space. At the center of the building stood a tall statue; its face was indistinct, but its posture and clothing suggested a being of extremely high status and mysterious power.
The team members carefully observed and studied the statue, discovering that it held a peculiar object in its hand. This object appeared to be some kind of energy controller, closely connected to the surrounding environment and energy facilities. Just as they were about to study the object further, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from the depths of the building, and the ground began to shake violently.
The team members immediately became alert, realizing that their actions might have triggered some kind of defense mechanism within the building or caused other unknown dangers. They quickly dispersed, searching for advantageous defensive positions while preparing to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
As the tremors intensified, some hidden passages and secret chambers within the building gradually opened, from which emerged energy entities radiating mysterious light. These energy entities took on various forms, some resembling agile birds and others like ferocious beasts. They hovered around the team members, seemingly scrutinizing and warning these uninvited guests.
The team members watched the energy entities intently, their weapons poised to strike. However, they knew that launching an attack rashly within this ancient structure imbued with mysterious power could lead to far more serious consequences. Therefore, they attempted to communicate with the energy entities using stellar energy fluctuations, conveying their good intentions and hoping to avoid an unnecessary conflict. This also allowed them to continue exploring the secrets of the structure, uncovering the truth hidden behind the mysterious area, taking a solid step towards the expedition's mission, writing a chapter of courage and wisdom in this unknown corner of the vast universe, bringing back precious knowledge treasures for the Alliance, and helping humanity continue its journey of cosmic exploration.
