Chapter 220 Exploring a New Chapter and the First Appearance of Unknown Threats
With order restored at the Silent Star research base, scientists, with a sense of lingering caution, resumed their exploration of the ancient civilization's spacetime technology. Under the Alliance's comprehensive resource support and strict supervision, they improved the energy conversion device, ensuring stable energy output that met the stringent requirements of the ancient technology. Research on the core sphere of spacetime technology also progressed smoothly, with each new discovery bringing them closer to mastering the mysteries of spacetime manipulation.
In a sophisticated experiment, scientists successfully opened a spacetime tunnel several meters in diameter and maintained it for a full five minutes. This achievement greatly excited the entire research team, who deployed more complex detection equipment through the tunnel and collected a wealth of valuable data. This data suggests that the spacetime tunnel connects to what appears to be the edge of another parallel universe, where the physical rules and energy distribution share similarities with their own universe, yet also exhibit subtle differences.
To further explore this mysterious parallel universe, the Alliance decided to form a professional time-travel exploration team. The team members include not only experienced scientists but also battle-hardened space warriors. Their mission is to traverse time-space portals to conduct preliminary exploration and research of the parallel universe.
After months of meticulous preparation, the exploration team boarded a specially designed spaceship and slowly entered the spacetime tunnel. The space around the ship rippled like water, with various strange lights and energy flows intertwining and shimmering around the hull. The moment the ship successfully traversed the tunnel and entered the parallel universe, the team members were stunned by the sight before them.
The sky in this parallel universe is a deep purplish-red, with massive gas giants suspended in the interstellar space, their surfaces swirling with mysterious energy vortexes. In the orbit of a terrestrial planet, the team discovered a colossal man-made structure, resembling a giant interstellar fortress, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.
The exploration team cautiously approached the interstellar fortress and scanned it using the ship's detection equipment. The results showed signs of a highly advanced technological civilization inside the fortress, but strangely, the detection signals could not penetrate deep into the fortress, as if blocked by a powerful shielding device.
Just as the exploration team attempted to get closer, the fortress suddenly unleashed a powerful energy beam that struck the exploration ship's shields precisely. The ship shook violently, and alarms immediately sounded. The team reacted quickly, activating the ship's defense systems and attempting to communicate with the fortress, but there was no response, followed by an even more intense attack.
In the fierce firefight, the exploration team discovered that the interstellar fortress possessed extremely advanced weapon systems, and their ship's shields were gradually weakening under continuous attacks. Left with no other option, the team had to temporarily evacuate. During their retreat, they gathered as much information as possible about the interstellar fortress, including its energy fluctuation characteristics and weapon attack frequency.
Upon returning to their original universe, the exploration team immediately reported their encounter to the Alliance headquarters. The Alliance leadership took this very seriously and convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. Scientists conducted a detailed analysis of the data brought back by the exploration team, speculating that the interstellar fortress might belong to a highly advanced and strongly xenophobic civilization.
In response to this potential unknown threat, the Alliance began to strengthen its military defense capabilities. Planets across the continents increased their investment in military technology research and development, and the construction of new warships was put on the agenda. At the same time, the Alliance organized large-scale military exercises to improve the combat capabilities and coordination of its interstellar fleets.
In the diplomatic arena, the Alliance also took proactive measures. They informed neighboring interstellar organizations and planets of the discovery, calling for joint efforts to strengthen the monitoring and defense of unknown regions of the universe. Simultaneously, the Alliance dispatched more exploration fleets to conduct broader surveys of the area surrounding the spacetime tunnel, attempting to find more clues about this parallel universe and the mysterious interstellar fortress.
Meanwhile, the research base on the Silent Star has also prioritized the exploration of parallel universes. Scientists work day and night, attempting to find effective ways to counter this unknown threat through in-depth research into spacetime technology. In this universe full of unknowns, the Interstellar Alliance once again stands at a crossroads of destiny. They must rely on wisdom and courage to meet the severe challenges that are about to come to ensure the peace and prosperity of the Alliance.
