Chapter 529: Mining in Desperate Circumstances and an Unexpected Turn of Events
The warship struggled to hold on within the encirclement of dark energy. Each attack felt like fighting against a raging tide; the slightest lapse would mean being swallowed up completely. Lin Yu stared intently at the energy monitoring screen, gritting his teeth as he said, "This won't do. We have to break through and find the Star Stone!" With that, his hands flew across the control panel, trying to find a weak point in the dark energy.
"Captain, I've detected a brief disruption in the flow of dark energy to the left front!" the monitoring team member suddenly shouted. A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and he immediately steered the warship towards the left front. Under the continuous attack of the laser beams, the warship finally tore open a gap in the dark energy and successfully broke through.
"Full speed ahead to the star system where the Starstone is located!" Lin Yu gave the order, and the warship sped off like an arrow towards the distant star system. During the long interstellar journey, the team members dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest, closely monitoring the warship's status while constantly calculating the arrival time.
Finally, the warship arrived at its target star system. This system was shrouded in a thick nebula, the complex environment within which interfered with the warship's probes. Lin Yu carefully steered the warship through the nebula, diligently searching for traces of the Star Stone.
"Everyone, spread out and search, and keep in touch," Lin Yu said through the communicator. The team members took control of small probe ships, launching from the warship to conduct a thorough search of the star system. Time ticked by, but the search yielded no results, and everyone's spirits grew increasingly heavy.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Ellie's voice came through the communicator: "I think I've discovered something! There's a strong energy reaction underground on that planet ahead, it's very likely a Starstone!" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately rushed towards Ellie's location.
When they arrived above the planet, they discovered that its gravitational field was unusually strong, and its surface was covered in deadly radiation. Landing on the planet's surface to obtain the Star Stones would be extremely difficult. Lin Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's modify a small landing craft, enhancing its protection and radiation resistance. I'll go down."
The team members objected, worried about Lin Yu's safety. But Lin Yu was determined: "I'm the captain, I have the most experience, and this operation is no exception. You all stay on the warship and provide support."
Amidst the worried gazes of the crowd, Lin Yu piloted the modified landing craft slowly down to the planet's surface. The moment he touched down, intense radiation assaulted the landing craft's protective shields, producing a hissing sound. Lin Yu quickly donned a special protective suit, grabbed his detection equipment, and headed towards the source of the energy reaction.
During his arduous journey, Lin Yu discovered that the planet's surface environment was extremely harsh, filled with bottomless ravines and erupting lava. He carefully avoided the dangers and finally arrived at the center of the energy reaction.
Before them lay a massive cavern, its interior shimmering with an eerie light. Lin Yu stepped inside and saw a huge crystal emitting a soft blue glow—the very Starstone they had been searching for. Just as he was about to collect the Starstone, the cavern suddenly trembled violently, and a colossal mechanical monster emerged from the ground.
The mechanical monster, made entirely of black metal, with eyes flashing red, opened its gaping maw and let out a deafening roar as it lunged at Lin Yu. Lin Yu swiftly raised his weapon and engaged the monster in battle. Laser beams struck the monster, only sending sparks flying; they did not inflict any real damage.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yu discovered that the mechanical monster's leg joints were its weak point. He immediately adjusted his attack direction, concentrating his firepower on the mechanical monster's legs. Under the continuous attack, cracks began to appear in the mechanical monster's leg joints, and its movements became sluggish.
However, just when Lin Yu thought victory was imminent, the mechanical monster suddenly activated its reserve energy, becoming even more ferocious. Its attack speed and strength increased dramatically, putting Lin Yu in a dangerous situation.
Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky; it was the crew of the warship launching a special energy missile. The missile struck the mechanical monster precisely, and in the powerful explosion, the mechanical monster was finally destroyed.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly collected the Starstones, and returned to the landing craft. With the help of his team members, he successfully returned to the warship. With the Starstones, could they reach the core of the spacetime vortex in time to repair the crystals and save multiple dimensions?
