Chapter 325 Energy Crisis and the Key to Breaking the Impasse
The cheers of the crowd had not yet completely subsided, but Ellie's brows furrowed even more deeply. She stared intently at the energy device, her eyes filled with worry: "Although this device has temporarily stopped transmitting external control signals, its rate of absorbing the planet's energy is accelerating. At this rate, it won't be long before the entire planet's energy is drained, and then a massive catastrophe will befall us."
Lin Yu's expression instantly turned serious. He looked around, trying to find clues to solve the problem from this ancient ruin. "We must find a way to stop it from absorbing energy, or find a way to shut down this device."
Just as everyone was deep in thought, a planet warrior suddenly remembered something: "I once heard an elder from my tribe say that deep within the ruins, there is a mysterious crystal. Legend has it that it possesses magical power and might be able to help us."
Lin Yu and Ellie exchanged a glance, their eyes igniting with hope: "Whether it's true or not, this is our only clue right now, and we have to go check it out."
Led by the warrior, the group cautiously advanced into the deepest part of the ruins. Along the way, they carefully avoided various unknown dangers, and the ancient walls shimmered with eerie light, seemingly telling untold stories.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense, and the air became oppressive. Finally, in a vast stone chamber, they discovered the mysterious crystal. The crystal floated in the air, emitting a soft, enigmatic light, and within it seemed countless stars twinkled.
"That's it!" the soldier shouted excitedly.
Ellie slowly approached the crystal and took out her detection device to scan it. Data kept flashing on the screen, showing that the crystal contained extremely powerful and complex energy. "The energy structure of this crystal is very special, and it seems to have some kind of connection with this energy device."
Just then, the energy device suddenly emitted a violent tremor, and the entire ruins began to shake. Beams of black energy shot out from the device, heading towards the crystal.
"Oh no, it's attacking the crystal!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly directing his team to defend themselves. Everyone raised their weapons, attempting to block the energy beam's attack.
However, the energy beam was too powerful, and the team's attacks were utterly ineffective in stopping it. Just as the energy beam was about to strike the crystal, it suddenly emitted a powerful light, forming a shield that completely blocked the energy beam.
"It seems this crystal is indeed extraordinary; it appears to be protecting itself," Ellie analyzed.
As the energy device continued its attack, the crystal's light grew brighter, and its energy connection with the device became increasingly strong. Ellie suddenly realized, "I understand! This crystal might be the key to shutting down the energy device. We need to guide the crystal's energy back into the device; perhaps then we can turn it off."
Without hesitation, Ellie quickly took out her energy connection device and attempted to connect the crystal's energy to the device. However, she encountered a problem during the connection process: the crystal's energy was too powerful, and ordinary connection devices simply could not handle it.
“We need to find a material that can withstand the crystal’s energy to make the connection device,” Ellie said anxiously.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Lin Yu suddenly remembered a special alloy material on the "Starshine". This alloy is made of a variety of rare metals and has super strong pressure resistance and energy conduction properties.
"I'll contact the 'Starshine' immediately and have them send the materials over." Lin Yu quickly contacted the fleet via communicator.
While waiting for the materials, the attacks from the energy device intensified, and the tremors of the ruins grew stronger. Everyone prayed that the materials would arrive as soon as possible.
Finally, the small transport ship "Starshine" arrived with the materials. Ellie and her team quickly used the materials to create an energy connection device and successfully connected the crystal's energy to the device.
As the crystal energy was reversed, the vibrations of the energy device gradually weakened, and the black energy beam slowly disappeared. Finally, the energy device stopped operating, and the entire ruins returned to calm.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with smiles. However, before they could even celebrate, the "Starshine" suddenly sent an urgent communication: "Captain, we have detected a powerful, unknown energy fluctuation at the edge of the star system, rapidly approaching our direction!" Lin Yu and Ellie's expressions instantly turned serious. What exactly was this unknown energy fluctuation? What new challenges would they face?
