Chapter 431 The Long Journey and the Mysterious Signal
After leaving the planet containing the second "Heart of Order," the fleet continued its journey through the vast universe towards the star system where the third "Heart of Order" resided. It was a long and lonely journey; the darkness of the universe was like a deep abyss, enveloping the fleet. Lin Yu often stood at the bridge window, gazing into the endless darkness, his heart filled with both apprehension about the unknown and a yearning to complete his mission.
During their long voyage, the fleet encountered cosmic storm after storm. Powerful energy turbulence, like raging waves, constantly battered the warships' shields. Lin Yu and his team remained vigilant, focusing intently on maneuvering the warships, struggling forward through the storms. Each successful weathering of a storm deepened their understanding of the power and mystery of the universe.
As time passed, the fleet gradually approached its target star system. Just as everyone was filled with anticipation, the fleet's communication system suddenly received a mysterious signal. This signal was intermittent, mixed with a lot of interference noise, but it seemed to contain some kind of urgent information.
“This signal is strange, and we can’t determine its source,” Ellie said, frowning as she operated the equipment to try and analyze the signal. Lin Yu’s eyes showed a hint of doubt: “Increase the power, try filtering out interference, and see if we can get more useful information.”
After much effort by the technicians, some of the signal was finally deciphered. "...Danger...SOS...Ancient ruins..." These fragmented words filled everyone with anxiety.
“It sounds like someone is calling for help, and it’s related to ancient ruins,” Lin Yu said. The team members all looked at him, awaiting his decision. Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then said, “We can’t ignore the distress signal. Adjust our course and head towards the source of the signal.”
The fleet changed course and flew towards the source of the mysterious signal. As they drew closer, they discovered the signal originated from a planet shrouded in thick clouds. The planet appeared unusually quiet, devoid of any obvious signs of life, yet the mysterious signal continued to emanate from its interior.
"Prepare for landing, initiate omnidirectional scanning," Lin Yu commanded. The fleet slowly approached the planet. As they passed through the clouds, they encountered strong electromagnetic interference, causing their communication systems and scanning equipment to malfunction.
"Stay calm, try manual control, and descend," Lin Yu calmly commanded. After some effort, the fleet finally landed successfully on the planet's surface. The moment the hatch opened, a damp and mysterious aura rushed out.
Before me lay a dense jungle, with enormous trees blocking out the sky and the ground covered with thick moss and strange plants. Deep within the jungle, the outline of an ancient building could be faintly seen.
“It seems that ancient building is the source of the signal. Let’s go check it out,” Lin Yu said. The team members, weapons in hand, cautiously approached the building. Along the way, they heard all sorts of strange noises, as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.
As they approached the building, they discovered that its walls were covered with strange symbols and patterns, a style completely different from what they had seen in other ruins. The building's doors were tightly shut, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"This building looks unusual, everyone be careful," Lin Yu warned. Just then, the building's doors slowly opened, and a dark aura surged out, sending chills down everyone's spines. What awaits them on this unknown planet? What secrets does this ancient building hold?
