Zongman: Just selected the natural disaster to ascend and join the chat group

"The route has been locked. Estimated arrival time is six hours."

Xu An nodded slightly and turned to look at Tarot.

"What's the status of the entire ship?"

Tarot spread out the data pad in his hand and spoke in a low voice.

"The energy system is stable, but supplies are still insufficient."

"Ammunition reserves are less than 60% of normal levels."

Xu An's eyes darkened slightly, "Prioritize the defense system."

"We can't take any risks."

Elena looked up, a hint of worry in her tone.

"If the other party is the same kind, what are our chances of winning?"

"The chances of success depend on our preparation." Xu An said firmly.

Taro shrugged, a wry smile on his face.

"I hope I'm well prepared and don't run into any more crazy people."

"Every action is a gamble of life."

Xu An did not respond, but calmly adjusted the data in the cabin.

The coordinates of the unknown star field appeared on the screen.

This is a chaotic star map, full of unknown risks.

Elena pointed at the screen, "The gravitational field here is unstable."

"It might interfere with starship navigation."

Xu An said slowly, "Find the best entry point."

“Try to avoid abnormal areas.”

Elena calculated quickly, her eyes focused and calm.

A few minutes later, she looked up and reported, "There's a safer route."

Xu An nodded, "Lock it, start slowing down and entering."

The roar of the starship's engines gradually subsided and its speed slowed.

The lights in the cabin flickered slightly, and the atmosphere became even more tense.

Kaxiu's voice came from the communicator.

"The power system is in good condition and can support the track change."

"Keep going and report any changes at any time." Xu An's voice was low.

The starship slowly approached the unknown star region.

A faint blue mist appeared on the screen...

"This is the source of the energy fluctuation." Elena said.

"Can you confirm its nature?" Xu An asked.

Elena shook her head, "It's too complicated and cannot be analyzed at the moment."

"Increase the scanning intensity and obtain more information."

Xu An's eyes were fixed on the screen.

The blue mist outside the cabin grew thicker and thicker, surging like a tide.

"The energy reaction is intensifying, and the frequency of fluctuations is changing." Elena's voice was a little nervous.

Tarot moved closer to the screen and frowned at the data.

"This fluctuation... is like some kind of summoning signal."

"Summon?" Xu An repeated, his eyes stern.

"Yes, there is a pattern, like some kind of guidance." Tarot said in a low voice.

"Maybe to us, or maybe to something else."

Xu An clenched his fists lightly and spoke in a calm voice.

"All ships remain on alert and enter level one combat status."

Elena quickly tapped the console to activate the defense system.

"Hull barrier activated, weapon systems ready."

The atmosphere in the cabin became more tense.

Xu An looked towards the porthole, and the blue mist became more and more strange.

"The speed will be reduced further to avoid causing more fluctuations."

"I understand." Tarot replied in a low voice.

The starship advanced slowly, like a submarine diving into the deep sea.

A strange light appeared faintly in the fog.

Elena's tone was a little hurried.

"Unidentified object detected, two thousand meters away."

"4.2 magnified image." Xu An said coldly.

The image on the screen became clear.

A huge black object floated in the mist.

Its shell is covered with strange cracks.

A faint blue light shone through the cracks, like a beating pulse.

"What is this..." Taro frowned with a complicated expression.

Elena scanned it quickly and said, "The structure is similar to...an ancient starship."

"Ancient times?" Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes, but the energy response is unusual."

“It’s still running.”

Xu An's tone turned cold, "Are there any signs of life?"

"No, but there are strong energy fluctuations inside."

"There's something inside." Taro whispered.

"It looks like some kind of core device."

Xu An's eyes were like knives. "Prepare the detection team."

"I want to confirm its status."

Chapter 249: Keep in touch! Go to the experimental cabin and take a look!

Elena frowned, "What if it's a trap?"

"We have to take this risk." Xu An's voice was firm.

"Otherwise, we will never uncover the truth."

Taro sighed, "I'm with the team, and I can't let the new guy mess things up."

"Elena, keep communicating and report the data in real time."

"Understood." Elena quickly adjusted the communication signal.

Xu An led the exploration team onto the small shuttle.

The shuttle started and slowly sailed towards the ancient starship.

As you get closer, the black object appears even larger.

Its surface is covered with scars from battle.

"This thing has been through a fierce battle." Taro whispered.

"It could be more dangerous than we thought."

Xu An's gaze didn't waver at all.

"Open the connecting cabin and enter the interior of the starship."

The shuttle locked onto a damaged hatch.

The robotic arm extended and slowly opened the passage.

The cabin was dark, with only the low hum of equipment.

The detection team turned on the lights and slowly walked in.

There was a stale smell in the air.

"14 The structure here looks like... an experimental chamber."

There was a hint of doubt in Taro's tone.

"Experiment? Would such an ancient ship have such a thing?"

"Maybe it's some kind of secret project." Xu An said coldly.

"Keep going and find the source of energy."

The team slowly moved deeper, being cautious with every step.

Strange symbols were carved into the walls of the cabin.

"These symbols... I've never seen them before." Tarot whispered.

"Record it, it might be useful." Xu An ordered.

Soon, they arrived at the core module.

The hatch was damaged, but a blue glow emanated from within.

A huge device stood in the center of the cabin.

It is shaped like a heart, beating slowly.

"This is the source of energy." Tarot's voice was low.

“It’s still running.”

Xu An's eyes were calm as he slowly approached the device.

"Check your surroundings for any danger signs."

"Not yet." Tarot responded.

Xu An raised his hand to touch the device and felt a slight vibration.

"This thing... is still alive."

Suddenly, a low humming sound came from inside the device.

The blue light suddenly became extremely dazzling.

Taro yelled, "Back off! It's reacting!"

Xu An didn't move, but stared at it intently.

A line of blurry text slowly emerged from the device.

"The Qiming Project...is starting..."

Xu An's expression changed slightly and he repeated in a low voice.

"What exactly is the Qiming Project?"

The blue light in the cabin gradually dimmed, and the device returned to calm.
