During the jump, Xu An sat in his lounge, flipping through the data report that had just been sent back.

He knew that after returning to the empire, these data would become the core of the research, providing direction and basis for the next stage of scientific research.

At this moment, the communicator made a slight beep and Tarot's image appeared on the screen.

"Xu An, I detected that the core crystal produced a tiny energy fluctuation during the jump, and it seems to be sensitive to the space environment."

Xu An frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.

"What kind of fluctuations are they? Will they affect the stability of the jump system?"

Tarot analyzed the situation for a moment and replied.

"The energy fluctuation is extremely small, not enough to affect the starship's systems."

"However, the crystal's fluctuations seem to be related to the ancient memory resonance phenomenon we detected previously. It may be that the special energy environment of the jump space has stimulated some of the information within the crystal."

Xu An pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Record the fluctuation data completely. We will conduct further research after returning to the Empire."

"This may be a key step in unlocking information within the crystal."

Tarot responded quickly and began to store and analyze the data.

The jump process was smooth and successful, and soon after, the starship slowly entered the outskirts of the imperial star field.

The distant imperial planets came into view, and the bright starlight illuminated the starship's navigation path, like a galactic road leading them home.

"Attention all departments, the starship is about to return to the core star field of the empire and prepare to enter orbital parking."

Lina's voice rang out over the communicator, and the atmosphere in the entire fleet gradually relaxed.

Xu An looked at the familiar imperial star field, and a sense of satisfaction emerged in his heart.

This exploration mission is about to end successfully, and he knows that the next research work is the key.

Soon, the starship smoothly entered the Empire's orbital station and docked at the base's port.

The scientific research team carried all the samples off the ship in an orderly manner and transported them to the laboratory of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, awaiting further research and analysis.

When Xu An got off the starship, several high-ranking imperial officials were already waiting at the port. They saluted him and expressed their welcome.

Dr. Orland, the Imperial Minister of Scientific Research, stepped forward with a look of admiration on his face.

"Welcome home, Xu An, how did this mission go?"

Xu An nodded slightly and briefly outlined the main content of the task.

"The mission was a great success. We discovered an ancient relic in the Ilmus Belt and obtained a batch of extremely precious crystal samples."

Chapter 130: In accordance with Order VII of the Second Order

"These crystals may contain high-energy technologies from ancient civilizations, which could bring new breakthroughs to the Empire's scientific research."

Dr. Orland listened.

"This is a great discovery."

"I will personally organize a special research team to conduct in-depth research on these crystals."

Xu An nodded slightly, with determination in his eyes.

"These samples are related to the empire's future technological advancement and interstellar expansion. We must treat them with rigor and care."

"Dr. Orland, please keep me updated on the progress of this research. Any small breakthrough should not be ignored."

Orland nodded solemnly, fully aware of the value and significance of these samples.

"Understood. We will definitely do our best."

After the greetings at the port, Xu An finally returned to his office, put down the mission report, and let out a long sigh.

He knew that this mission was just one of his countless interstellar journeys.

In this

In the vast sea of ​​stars, he will continue to lead the empire towards an unknown direction.

Returning to the empire, returning to this star field he was familiar with, made him feel a sense of peace.

And this tranquility does not come from the end, but from the beginning of a new stage.

The starship steadily moved away from the Irmus Belt, preparing to return to the Empire's star territory.

Along the way, the crew members gradually relaxed, and the successful completion of the mission made everyone happy.

Xu An stood in the command cabin, looking at the starry sky outside the window, but he remained alert in his heart.

The journey back was not without danger. He knew very well that changes in the universe often appear at the most peaceful times.

Just as he was lost in thought, Tarot's voice suddenly rang out over the communication system, with a hint of uneasiness.

"Xu An, there is an asteroid storm ahead, moving at high speed, and is expected to enter our navigation path in twenty minutes."

Xu An's eyes instantly became sharp, and he immediately called up the star map in front.

On the screen, the trajectory of the asteroid storm was constantly updated. Huge asteroids collided with each other, forming countless tiny fragments, which moved densely towards the starship, like an overwhelming frenzy.

"How extensive is the storm?"

he asked in a deep voice.

Tarot quickly calculated and replied.

· ····Request flowers···· ··

"The storm covers an area of ​​approximately 30,000 kilometers and is extremely dense. At the current speed, the starship will not be able to completely avoid it."

Lina suggested quietly, looking nervous.

"Would you like to consider slowing down temporarily and waiting for the storm to pass before continuing sailing?"

Xu An shook his head, thought for a moment, and analyzed calmly.

"Slowing down will allow us to stay in the storm longer. This storm is moving erratically, and stopping there will only increase the risk."

.... ...

His eyes swept across the storm path on the screen, and he quickly formed a relatively safe route through it.

"Tarot, calculate a route that avoids high-density areas as much as possible."

"Lina, convey the order. All crew members enter level one combat readiness, maintain the main engine at full speed, and prepare for the impact of the storm."

Lina quickly issued orders and the crew members returned to their respective posts, nervously adjusting their equipment and preparing to deal with the coming storm.

In the next few minutes, the starship's systems entered a full emergency state, with data on the screen updating in real time. Taro quickly adjusted the course based on the asteroid's trajectory.

Chapter 131: No Way Out! Charge Forward with All Your Strength!!

Xu An stood in front of the command desk, staring at the star map, not missing any details.

"Engine output power increased to 120%, maintaining stable propulsion."

"Activate the energy barrier to its highest power, focusing on protecting the upper deck and front of the ship."

He maintained a calm expression while directing, bringing confidence and stability to everyone.

A moment later, the starship gradually entered the edge of the asteroid storm "Seven Five Three". Countless tiny spots of light flickered in the dark universe around it. Those were countless asteroids and fragments colliding with each other at a rapid speed.

In this brilliant and dangerous sea of ​​stars, the starship is like a small boat, sailing forward steadily.

A huge piece of asteroid debris suddenly flew towards the right side of the starship at an extremely fast speed.

Lina quickly reported: "The starboard side is about to be hit, the energy barrier has been adjusted to the highest protection!"

Xu An gave the order without hesitation.

"Thrust the engine to full power to avoid the impact!"

With the roar of the engine, the starship flexibly shifted to the left, avoiding the asteroid fragment almost by a millimeter.

The debris brushed past the starship, sending ripples of energy and a flash of light across the barrier.

"Report, the load on the right side of the energy barrier has reached 70%, the system is normal."

Tarot calmly reported the data to ensure that Xu An was fully aware of the system's operating status.

As the storm deepens, the density of debris increases, and the starship faces endless challenges in its high-speed travel.

Xu An's eyes were steady and sharp. He calmly calculated every position in his mind, looking for the most appropriate response strategy.

"Maintain the current speed. All ships should monitor the trajectory of surrounding debris to ensure the stability of the energy barrier."

At this moment, everyone in the command cabin held their breath, operating their respective instruments and closely monitoring the status of the starship.

Their faith was as firm as steel, because Xu An's command was always calm and powerful, which gave them great confidence.

While continuing to dodge, the starship gradually approached the core area of ​​the storm.

A huge debris belt appeared in front of them, and the dense asteroid debris was like a high wall blocking their way.

Lina frowned and whispered, "There's almost no space in this area. Forcing through is extremely risky..."

Xu An stared at the screen, his eyes showing determination.

"There is no way back, we must go through."

He quickly gave the order to the (sixth) Lin Chen paratrooper master Scarsda.

"Strengthen the entire ship's protection, open up the thrust, and pass through the debris field at top speed!"

With the roar of the engine, the starship suddenly accelerated, like a meteor, rushing straight towards the area with dense debris.

Huge fragments whizzed past both sides of the starship, making a harsh friction sound as they scraped against the surface of the barrier.

The energy value of the barrier continued to decrease, but the speed of the starship did not slow down at all.

Xu An stared at the gradually approaching exit with a determined look, silently counting the time and distance in his mind, firmly believing that they would successfully pass through.

"Everyone stay calm, the goal is just ahead!"

Following his encouragement, the crew members gripped the control console tightly, gritted their teeth, and had immense determination in their eyes.

Finally, the starship, with energy ripples and slight vibrations all over its body, successfully passed through the debris belt and rushed out of the core area of ​​the asteroid storm.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on their faces.

Chapter 132: Permission Obtained! Mission Completed and Returned to the Empire!

Lina reported: "The energy barrier has returned to normal, the damage to the hull is minimal, and we have successfully escaped from the core area of ​​the storm."

Xu An nodded slightly and slowly exhaled.

"Very good, Lina, everyone did a great job."

He turned around and looked at all the crew members in the command cabin with a smile of approval on his face.

"This storm was a great test for our fleet, but I could not be more proud of your performance."

The crew members showed joyful expressions and exchanged proud smiles with each other.

In their view, this danger is not only a challenge, but also a process of growth for them and the starship.

After a short repair, the starship's energy system returned to normal and the navigation route returned to stability.

They continued to advance towards the Imperial Star Territory, all the way smooth and safe, and the distance from the Empire gradually shortened.

Under Xu An's command, the Xingliu VIII ship successfully left the dangerous area and returned to its normal course.

He was in his lounge, leaning gently on his chair, and his mind couldn't help but recall the dangerous situation just now.

Every command and decision is related to the safety of the entire fleet. As a leader, he is fully aware of the responsibilities he shoulders.

But it is this sense of responsibility that makes him calm and decisive at critical moments.

Soon after, the starship entered the edge of the Imperial star field, and the familiar starlight illuminated their way home.

The challenges of this journey did not make him feel tired, but instead made him more determined.

The starship gradually approached the Imperial space station, and several small frigates sailed out of the port to greet their return.

Lina reported to Xu An through the communicator: "The Imperial Space Station has confirmed our port entry permission and we can enter and dock at any time."

Xu An nodded, stood up and walked towards the command cabin, ready to welcome the successful completion of this mission.

Soon after, the starship slowly entered the Empire's space port and anchored steadily in the main port.
