Chapter 378 Crisis Response and Mysterious Communication
An energy beam grazed past, causing the warship to shake violently, and alarms blared shrilly in the bridge. Lin Yu stared intently at the mysterious spaceship, his heart pounding, his brain racing: "Analyze the energy frequency and pattern of the attack just now, find its attack patterns and weaknesses." The technicians responded quickly, their fingers flying across the control panel, the data on the screen refreshing rapidly.
While keeping a close eye on the analysis results, Ellie said, "The frequency fluctuations of this energy beam are very complex, and the way the energy gathers before each attack is different, but it seems to be related to the changes in the patterns on the surface of the spaceship." Upon hearing this, Lin Yu turned his gaze to the strange patterns on the surface of the spaceship, where they were flashing with an eerie light, as if they were speaking some ancient language.
"Try launching a low-energy probe wave, with a frequency opposite to the energy wave that just attacked, and see if we can disrupt its attack preparations," Lin Yu decisively ordered. The fleet adjusted its energy emission devices, and a gentle probe wave shot towards the mysterious spaceship. The moment the probe wave touched the spaceship's energy shield, the light on the spaceship's surface briefly became erratic, and the speed at which energy gathered also slowed down significantly.
"It's working! Keep the jamming going, and look for an opportunity to get closer to the ship. We need to figure out its attack intentions; maybe it's related to the distress signal." A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Yu's eyes. The fleet cautiously approached, maintaining the emission of jamming waves at all times.
Just under a kilometer away from the spaceship, a huge opening suddenly appeared on its surface, emanating a powerful gravitational pull that attempted to suck the fleet in. "Damn it, a gravity trap! Full power on the engines, resist the gravity!" Lin Yu shouted. The warship's engines roared to life, spewing out dazzling streams of plasma as they fiercely battled the gravity.
As the two sides reached a stalemate, Lin Yu suddenly came up with a solution: "Use the energy link between the warships to create a reverse gravitational field to counteract the spaceship's gravity." Ellie quickly organized the technicians to carry out the operation, and an energy link was established between several warships. A blue energy halo slowly formed and extended towards the spaceship's gravitational field.
As the reverse gravitational field formed, the gravitational pull on the fleet gradually weakened, finally freeing it from the gravitational trap. However, the mysterious ship did not stop there; it fired energy beams again, this time with greater density and wider coverage.
"Spread out and take cover, while looking for gaps in the attack. Try to send communication signals into the spaceship to show that our intention is peaceful." Lin Yu directed the fleet to evade the attack while attempting to establish communication with the spaceship.
The fleet weaved nimbly through the gaps in the energy beams, and one warship seized the opportunity to launch a communication signal carrying a message of peace. Just when everyone thought the signal would be lost forever, the mysterious ship's attack suddenly ceased, and the energy shield began to slowly dissipate.
"Cease attack and remain vigilant," Lin Yu cautiously issued the order. The fleet slowly approached the spaceship, whose interior glowed with a soft light, seemingly welcoming their arrival.
As the fleet entered the spaceship, the sight before them stunned everyone. The interior was a vast space filled with all sorts of strange devices and shimmering crystals. In the center of this space was a massive platform upon which floated a sphere emitting a blue light. Surrounding the sphere were humanoid beings, their bodies translucent and emitting a faint glow.
"You've finally arrived..." A gentle voice echoed in everyone's minds, seemingly from these humanoid beings. Lin Yu took a deep breath and stepped forward, saying, "We received a distress signal and are here to offer assistance. What happened here?"
The humanoid beings slowly began to speak, recounting a shocking story: they were survivors of an ancient civilization, and their spaceship contained a powerful ancient force that had recently shown signs of going out of control. Fearing that this force would trigger a cosmic catastrophe, they sent out a distress signal.
