Chapter 302 First Contact with a Mysterious Galaxy
The "Starshine" slowly approached the mysterious star system. The atmosphere on the bridge was tense yet exciting, with everyone's eyes focused on the screen. As they drew closer, the details of the enormous artificial planets gradually became clear. The crisscrossing metal structures and shimmering energy nodes on the planets' surfaces all demonstrated the advanced level of this civilization.
Lin Yu stared intently at the screen and issued the order: "Stay vigilant, activate all detection equipment, analyze the enemy's technological level and energy characteristics, and send a peaceful communication signal at the same time." The crew acted swiftly, the spaceship's detection radar operated at full capacity, and various data continuously flooded into the analysis system.
Soon, the communications officer reported, "Captain, we have received a response signal, but the content cannot be deciphered. It seems to be using an extremely complex encryption method." Ellie stepped forward, looked at the garbled characters flashing on the screen, and after a moment's thought, said, "This may be a self-protection mechanism of the other civilization. We will try to reverse-decipher it using a portion of the encryption algorithm from an ancient civilization."
The research team immediately got to work, and after some intense calculations, the signal was finally successfully cracked. The other party's message came: "Outsiders, state your purpose. This is the territory of the Azel civilization. Any ill-intentioned actions will be met with retaliation."
Lin Yu immediately replied, "We come from a distant alliance, seeking peace and communication to explore the universe. We have no ill intentions." After a while, the other party replied, "You may approach, but you must keep a low speed and submit to our inspection."
Lin Yu ordered the "Starshine" to move forward slowly and stop at the designated location. Soon, several small spaceships flew out from the artificial planet and surrounded the "Starshine". These spaceships had unique designs, and their surfaces were covered with a layer of light blue energy aura, indicating powerful defensive capabilities.
As the small spaceship approached, it emitted a soft energy scanning wave to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the "Starshine." After confirming there was no danger, the other party allowed Lin Yu to lead a diplomatic team to their planet for exchanges.
Lin Yu selected Ellie and several experienced crew members, and they boarded a small landing craft, heading towards one of the artificial planets. When the landing craft touched down on the planet's surface, the sight before them left them speechless with amazement. Enormous energy towers soared into the clouds, the surrounding buildings were futuristic, and various spacecraft moved about in an orderly fashion.
They were received by a representative of the Azel civilization. This representative was tall and slender, with skin that had a faint silver sheen and eyes that shone with a deep light. He led Lin Yu and his group to a huge council hall, the walls of which were inlaid with various strange crystals that emitted a soft glow.
After both sides were seated, Lin Yu spoke first: "We deeply admire the scientific and technological achievements of your civilization. We hope to establish a friendly exchange and cooperation relationship with your civilization and share our knowledge and experience."
The representative of the Azel civilization nodded slightly: "We have noticed that your spaceship technology and energy utilization methods are very different from ours. But before deciding whether to cooperate, we would like to understand your exploration objectives and your understanding of the universe."
Ellie took over the conversation, giving a detailed account of the Alliance's development, exploration experiences, and the knowledge gained from the "Heart of Origin." The representative of the Azerian civilization listened attentively, occasionally asking some pointed questions, which Ellie patiently answered one by one.
During the exchange, Lin Yu discovered that the Azel civilization showed a strong interest in the "Heart of Origin." They revealed that long ago, the Azel civilization had also pursued similar cosmic mysteries, but to no avail.
Just as the exchange between the two sides was deepening, a guard from the Azel civilization hurriedly entered the council chamber and whispered a few words in the representative's ear. The representative's expression changed slightly, and then he apologized to Lin Yu and the others: "I'm sorry, there has been an emergency, and we need to temporarily suspend our exchange. Please rest in the designated area. We will handle the matter as soon as possible and continue to discuss cooperation with you."
Lin Yu and the others were led to a comfortable rest area, but their minds were filled with questions. What emergency had occurred? How would this affect their communication and cooperation with the Azel civilization? Did the mysterious Azel civilization hold even more untold secrets?
