When he walked down the starship's gangway, he was greeted by a group of Imperial officials who had prepared a welcome ceremony for him.

Minister of Scientific Research Dr. Holland took the lead and walked forward to pay a solemn salute to Xu An.

"Welcome back triumphantly, Xu An!"

Xu An nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"Although this mission was full of challenges, we have successfully completed it and brought back very important samples and data."

Orland's eyes were full of admiration.

"Your command was impeccable, bringing back valuable resources for the starship and the Empire."

"These samples will bring revolutionary breakthroughs to our research."

Xu An smiled calmly, looking at the starry sky of the empire, his eyes full of determination.

"Mission accomplished is only the beginning, and there is still a long way to go."

He knew that his journey across the starry sea had just begun.

After the starship docked at the Empire's main scientific research base, the samples were quickly sent to the highest-standard laboratory.

Xu An sat in front of the core console of the research center. The screen in front of him displayed the crystal data brought back from the Ilmus Belt in real time.

These crystals contain a complex energy fluctuation, and despite preliminary analysis, the secrets of their microscopic structure remain elusive.

He knew that if he could uncover the true secrets of the crystal, it would lay a solid theoretical foundation for the development of the Star Artifact.

Chapter 133 Particle Resonance! Beyond the Technological System!!

The scientific research team arrived at the laboratory one by one, wearing protective clothing and looking focused and expectant.

Elena walked up to Xu An and handed him a preliminary analysis report.

"Xu An, preliminary results show that the energy flow within these crystals is completely different from that of ordinary ores."

"They have an extremely high energy density and possess a self-healing property, as if they can self-adjust and stabilize at a microscopic level."

Xu An took the report and read through it calmly.

"Self-repair? This means that the crystal is not only an energy medium, but also possesses some kind of intelligent properties, capable of self-maintaining energy balance."

He paused, thoughtfully.

"If this feature can be applied to the starship system, it will greatly improve the starship's endurance."

He turned his gaze to the console and lightly tapped with his fingertips to bring up the crystal's structural diagram.

The image slowly unfolded on the screen, revealing the complex and dense energy channels inside the crystal.

"According to the structural diagram, these energy channels seem to follow certain specific arrangement rules."

He whispered to Elena while observing carefully.

"Perhaps, we need higher-precision equipment to further analyze the energy fluctuations inside the channel."

Elena nodded, and the researcher next to her quickly adjusted the microscopic wave detector, magnifying the internal details of the channel on the screen.

Enlarged images show that these channels are not straight lines, but are composed of countless tiny nodes, through which energy flows at a strange rhythm, forming a self-balancing cycle.

Carter, an expert in the energy field, also stood by and watched.

He marveled softly, "This energy cycle has almost no loss, as if it were a perfectly closed loop formed naturally."

"If we can understand the principle of this cycle, we can greatly improve the efficiency of the existing energy system."

Xu An nodded slightly, his eyes wandering across the image, as if pondering its deeper meaning.

"This energy cycle may involve ultra-microscopic particle resonance, which is completely different from our current technological system."

"Tarot, call up the resonance analyzer and test the fluctuation frequency of these nodes to see if there is a stable energy frequency."

Tarot responded quickly, and data jumped on the screen line by line, gradually forming a clear energy spectrum.

Soon, Tarot's voice came: "Report, an extremely stable energy frequency has been detected. It is different from the known physical fluctuations in nature and seems to possess some special spatial properties."

Xu An stared at the spectrum and couldn't help but come up with a bold guess in his mind.

"Perhaps, the energy of this crystal not only circulates within itself, but may also resonate with the outer space."

"If we can simulate this frequency in a starship's energy system, we might be able to significantly increase the starship's self-powered capabilities."

He turned to look at Carter and Elena and continued on his journey.

"Next, we will try to simulate this energy cycle using a small-scale system to see if we can successfully stabilize the output."

Carter nodded and led the researchers to start building the experimental model on the experimental table.

They used a transparent alloy as the shell of the energy channel and placed tiny crystal fragments inside it to simulate a similar closed-loop system.

Chapter 134: Not Just an Energy Carrier! It Also Has Some Intelligent Effects!

After a few hours, the experimental equipment was finally completed.

Xu An stood in front of the experimental bench, personally adjusting every parameter to ensure the accuracy and safety of the experiment.

"Start the equipment and gradually increase the energy input."

He gave instructions and the researchers carefully observed the changes in every value.

Energy is injected from the bottom and flows slowly along the channel, gradually forming a closed loop.

Just as they were observing nervously, a weak fluctuation suddenly came from the system, and the frequency of energy flow began to change, gradually synchronizing with the crystal's original frequency of 767.

Xu An's eyes flashed with surprise, and his hand paused slightly while observing the data.

"It worked... The system's energy fluctuations are indeed moving closer to the crystal's frequency."

Elena couldn't hide her excitement and said, "This means our simulation system has initially achieved the energy circulation characteristics of crystals!"

However, just as they were rejoicing over their initial success, the energy in the system suddenly began to fluctuate, the closed loop of flow became unstable, the data jumped rapidly, and gradually showed signs of being out of control.

Carter's face changed and he quickly operated the panel to make adjustments.

"The energy began to become unbalanced, and the closed loop could no longer maintain its own balance."

Xu An looked at the jumping data calmly and took a deep breath.

"Immediately cut off the energy input and reset all parameters to zero."

The system gradually calmed down, the circulation of energy through the channels stopped, and the experimental model returned to its initial state.

Elena looked at Xu An in confusion and asked doubtfully.

"Why can't our experimental model maintain the balance of energy circulation like the crystal?"

Xu An frowned slightly and spoke slowly.

"Perhaps we overlooked some key factors within the crystal, causing the closed loop to lose its original stability."

He stared at the crystal fragments in the experimental model, thoughtfully.

"These crystals are not just carriers of energy; perhaps they also possess some kind of self-regulating intelligence."

"This intelligence may be related to the microstructure of the crystals, or even rely on some special energy-sensing mechanism."

Taro's analysis quickly revealed: "A highly synchronized pattern of vibrations among the particles within the crystal was detected. It is likely that this synchronization maintains the stability of the energy cycle."

Xu An nodded, as if he understood something.

"Perhaps this is the core property of crystals – they maintain energy balance by vibrating in sync."

"If we can crack this synchronization mechanism, we can apply it to the core systems of starships."

He pondered for a moment and continued.

"Next, we will shift our research focus to the microstructure of the crystals and analyze the principles behind their synchronous vibrations."

Under his instructions, the research team began to use the most advanced microscope equipment to analyze the microstructure inside the crystals.

As the magnification gradually increases, the internal details of the crystal slowly emerge.

The researchers were surprised to find that the microstructure of the crystals showed a perfect honeycomb arrangement, with each node connected to the surrounding nodes, as if forming a sophisticated network.

Carter sighed softly, "This structure is not only beautiful, but also extremely stable. It seems to be the most optimized form of energy conduction in nature."

Xu An gazed at these microscopic structures, lost in thought.

Chapter 135: A brief break, let’s talk about past crises!!

 "This suggests that the internal structure of the crystal itself is a natural energy conductor, which not only reduces energy flow losses but also enables efficient synchronization."

He exhaled lightly, his eyes showing determination.

"Perhaps this is what we need to simulate—achieving energy self-balance through precise synchronization of structure and vibration."

Elena looked at Xu An.

"Xu An, your speculation has pointed our research in a completely new direction."

Xu An smiled slightly, his tone gentle but firm.

"We still need more testing and verification to ensure the feasibility of applying this technology in the Starship system."

He looked around at the scientific research team in the laboratory and continued to encourage.

"Next, we will face countless experiments and data analysis."

"I know this won't be easy, but every step forward will be the foundation for our progress."

"I believe we will eventually unlock the secrets of this crystal and lay a solid technological foundation for the future of the empire."

The researchers nodded one after another with determined looks on their faces. They knew that this research would bring immeasurable value to the empire.

In the laboratory, the low hum of equipment continued to be heard, and data was constantly updated. Under the guidance of Xu An, the scientific research team gradually deepened the research.

In this microscopic world, Xu An and his team are gradually approaching the technological truth of ancient civilization.

This research will lay the foundation for the development of star artifacts.

It provides an indispensable theoretical foundation and becomes a new starting point for their exploration of the universe.

After the mission was completed, Xu An finally relaxed for a moment.

He walked into the crew rest area, which is usually where the crew relaxes and gathers. Hanging on the wall are photos and badges of the missions they have performed, showing the cohesion and pride of the team.

As soon as I entered the rest area, I saw Lina, Elena, Carter and several other crew members sitting around a long table, chatting with each other about their experiences. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"Xu An!"

Lina was the first to see him and immediately stood up and waved to him with a smile on her face.

"It's a rare opportunity to relax today. Would you like to come and chat with me?"

Xu An nodded, walked over to them with a smile, found an empty seat and sat down.

"Of course, we're not talking about research today, so please be casual."

· ····Request flowers···· ··

Everyone chuckled, and Lina handed him a warm drink from the table.

"Xu An, you rarely attend gatherings like this. We are all curious about what you are usually busy with."

Xu An took the cup and smiled gently.

"On a starship, the mission naturally takes priority, but I'll occasionally check on everyone's status."

.... ... ....

"But since I have the opportunity today, I would like to hear your stories."

Hearing what he said, everyone became excited and started sharing their most impressive mission experiences.

Elena recalled an experience of exploring a planet, in which she and another researcher were trapped in a cave for more than ten hours.

she said with a smile.

"We only had two bottles of water and an energy bar and we thought we were going to die there."

"It was only a few hours later that we discovered that the communication equipment had only a broken button."

Carter laughed out loud and patted Elena on the shoulder.

"I still remember how disheveled you looked when you returned to the ship, with your hair covered in dust!"

Elena glared at him deliberately, but with a smile in her eyes.
