Chapter 295 The Core Crisis and Turning Point of Ancient Architecture
Lin Yu led his team back into the ancient building, where an even more oppressive atmosphere permeated the air. Strange lights flickered on the walls, seemingly warning of impending danger. They cautiously advanced towards the area where they had previously discovered the control device. Along the way, the surrounding machinery emitted eerie sounds, as if whispering untold secrets.
As they approached the central control area, they discovered unusually strong energy fluctuations. A new energy matrix had appeared around the previously damaged control device, flashing with purple light, seemingly performing some kind of powerful energy calculation. Ellie immediately took out her detection equipment to analyze the energy matrix. The data showed that the matrix was continuously amplifying the attack capabilities of the external energy entity and seemed to be gathering energy, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.
“We must shut down this matrix as soon as possible, or the fleet will be in grave danger,” Ellie said anxiously. Lin Yu nodded, signaling the team members to spread out and search for a way to shut down the matrix. However, just as they were preparing to act, a group of new mechanical guards surged out from all directions. These guards were completely different in appearance from those they had encountered before; their bodies were more agile, they were equipped with more advanced weapons, and their attack power was greatly enhanced.
The mechanical guards swiftly surrounded the squad and launched a fierce attack. The team members quickly raised their guns to return fire, energy beams weaving through the narrow passage, clashing with the glowing weapons of the mechanical guards. Lin Yu fired precisely while observing the mechanical guards' movement patterns, trying to find their weaknesses. He noticed that when these guards attacked, their energy cores in their heads would be briefly exposed, so he shouted, "Concentrate your attacks on their head cores!"
Upon hearing this, the team members adjusted their attack direction. Under the intense firepower, several mechanical guards were hit in the head cores, instantly losing their mobility. However, there were too many mechanical guards, and the team members' ammunition was gradually running out, making the situation increasingly critical.
Even amidst the fierce battle, Ellie didn't give up her research on the energy matrix. She discovered that the operation of the energy matrix seemed to be related to the surrounding environmental energy; if the flow of environmental energy could be disrupted, it might affect the operation of the matrix. She quickly shared this idea with Lin Yu.
After a moment's thought, Lin Yu decided to take the risk. He ordered his team to concentrate their firepower, creating an opening on one side of the controlled area. Then, using the spaceship's energy jammer, they launched a powerful energy interference wave towards the opening. The interference wave spread rapidly, creating a strong conflict with the surrounding environmental energy.
Under the influence of the interference waves, the energy matrix's light began to flicker erratically, and its operating speed gradually slowed down. The external energy entity seemed to be affected, and its attack rhythm became chaotic. The fleet seized this opportunity, adjusted its tactics, and launched a full-scale counterattack against the energy entity.
However, just as the energy matrix was about to stop operating, the ancient building suddenly began to shake violently. The ground began to collapse, and huge stones kept falling from the ceiling. Ellie discovered through her detection equipment that the core area of the building was experiencing an energy out of control; once the core energy erupted, the entire building and everything around it would be destroyed.
"We must find a way to stabilize the core energy immediately, or none of us will escape!" Ellie shouted anxiously. Lin Yu looked at the chaotic situation before him and knew that time was of the essence. He led his team towards the core area, dodging falling boulders and attacks from mechanical guards as they struggled forward.
Finally, they arrived at the core area. Here lay a massive energy core, surrounded by complex energy circuits. The core was emitting a blinding light, threatening to explode at any moment. Ellie quickly analyzed the core and discovered that its energy imbalance was a chain reaction triggered by the earlier damage to the control system.
On the control panel surrounding the energy core, she discovered a set of ancient symbols and control buttons. Based on her previous research into the writing systems of ancient civilizations, she guessed that these buttons might be used to adjust the energy core's output. However, the slightest misoperation could lead to far more serious consequences.
Ellie took a deep breath and calmly considered her actions. Recalling the various patterns and records she had seen in the ancient buildings, she finally found the method to operate it. She carefully pressed the buttons, adjusting the energy output in a specific sequence. As she operated, the light from the energy core gradually dimmed, and the energy fluctuations slowly stabilized.
As the energy matrix ceased and the core energy stabilized, the external energy dissipated. The fleet was finally out of danger, and Lin Yu and his team breathed a sigh of relief. But they knew this was only temporary peace; more secrets and dangers surely lay hidden within the ancient structure, waiting for them to continue exploring.
