"We are ready to accept this challenge." Lin Feng declared firmly, his voice echoing in the control room, arousing everyone's fighting spirit.
"Captain Lin, we will go with you, no matter what lies ahead." Xiaojie was the first to express his stance, clenching his fists.
"Yes, for our homeland and for the future, we have no reason to back down." Meira's voice was full of power, and her eyes swept over everyone present, as if giving silent encouragement.
Zhou Lili also nodded firmly, with a brave light shining in her eyes, "I will go too, no matter how difficult it is, I will contribute my share."
"This is the team , this is home." Lin Feng looked around, feeling moved, "Now, we must not only prepare the ship, but also prepare our hearts for what is coming."
In the days that followed, the control room was filled with an atmosphere of intense preparation. Engineers worked overtime to upgrade the spacecraft to ensure that it could cope with unknown interstellar travel; scientists repeatedly studied the technical documents of the ancient civilization, trying to extract key information; and Lin Feng and Meira were responsible for formulating detailed expedition plans. All while not forgetting the importance of instilling unity and trust in the team.
"The day we set off will be a new page in our history." Lin Feng encouraged everyone at the end of a team meeting.
Time flies and the time to set off finally comes. When the spacecraft slowly rose, passed through the clouds, and headed towards unknown star coordinates, a strange tranquility echoed in the control room, and everyone was prepared deep in their hearts.
"Captain, do we really want to enter the unknown?" Xiaojie's voice contained a hint of uncertainty, but more of a desire for adventure.
"That's right, Xiaojie." Lin Feng smiled, his eyes shining with curiosity and determination for the unknown, "Because we are explorers, we believe that at the end of the universe, there is something that belongs to all of us. Answer.”
The spaceship traveled across the starry sky and gradually approached the mysterious coordinates. Just as everyone was waiting with bated breath, a majestic star gate suddenly appeared in front of them, shining with an intoxicating light.
"Wow, this...what is this?" Someone exclaimed in the control room.
“This may be the gateway to the new world.” Meira responded softly, with a mixture of awe and expectation in her eyes.
"Then, let us step through this door together and explore the unknown new world." Lin Feng stood still and looked forward firmly, his tone full of appeal.
"Go to the new world!" In the team's slogan, the spacecraft sailed towards the unknown star gate without hesitation, leaving a gorgeous wake, as if to tell the entire universe that human exploration will never be completed. stop.
Inside and outside the control room, countless pairs of eyes witnessed this moment, with both anxiety about the unknown and infinite longing for the future in their hearts.
“This is not just a trip, it is a leap forward in our civilization.” Zhou Lili said with emotion, her voice echoed gently in the cabin, inspiring the resonance of every listener.
“Think about it, we may be the first humans to see this new world.” Xiaojie rubbed his hands excitedly, “I wonder if there is an alien cafe there? I don’t want to miss out on trying the universe. A chance for a super latte."
"Hopefully the creatures there are interested in Earth's coffee culture, otherwise you might have to bring some beans as a diplomatic gift," Meera quipped, eliciting chuckles from those around her. The tense atmosphere was subtly eased.
"Having said that, should we prepare a gift list? If we really encounter a friendly civilization, it would not be a good idea to leave empty-handed." A young scientific researcher made a suggestion, and everyone nodded in agreement. , started a lively discussion.
"We have the latest energy technology, which represents the possibility of peace and cooperation." Lin Feng suggested, "Also, our culture and art, music, and movies are all bridges connecting different civilizations."
"Don't forget our food culture," Zhou Lili said with a smile, "There are so many delicious foods on earth, there is always one that can impress our alien friends."
The control room was full of creativity and joy. Laughter, everyone is making the best preparations for this unprecedented journey. At this moment, the alarm system inside the spacecraft suddenly sounded, and a soft electronic female voice reported: "We are about to enter the star gate, please be ready."
The air froze for a few seconds, followed by a period of silence. , only the sound of heartbeat and breathing intertwined. Then a collective, almost palpable anticipation spread.
"Get ready for a miracle, friends." Lin Feng's words once again inspired everyone, his eyes burning with fearlessness for the unknown and a desire for exploration.
The spacecraft slowly approached the mysterious star gate, and the light became brighter and brighter until the entire cabin was bathed in splendor. With a slight bump, as if it were a fluctuation through time and space, the spacecraft completely entered the star gate, and the scene in the field of vision became distorted and magical.
"We did it! We really traveled through time!" Xiaojie's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
When the distorted picture gradually stabilized, a brand new world came into view - the other end of the star gate was a colorful galaxy, with stars scattered like pearls in the endless darkness, and the surface of the planet Covered with strange vegetation and flowing with strange light.
“This... this place is simply unbelievably beautiful.” Zhou Lili admired in a low voice, her eyes shining with wonder and yearning for the new world.
"Record, record in all directions." Meira quickly gave the order, and the instruments in the control room quickly started to capture every detail of this unknown territory.
"Keep the communication channel open and report our findings to Earth." Lin Feng instructed. He understood what this moment meant to the entire human race.
"Earth, this is the 'Interstellar Explorer'. We have successfully passed through the star gate and are in an unknown but beautiful galaxy. We have seen unprecedented sights and will bring back detailed information as soon as possible . Please look forward to our return.”
In the control room, everyone is immersed in the joy of exploration and imagination of the infinite possibilities of the future. At this moment, they are not only moving forward for their own dreams, but also for the hope and future of all mankind.
"Captain Lin, we are really standing at a turning point in history." Zhou Lili said with emotion. "Yes, Lily, and all this has just begun." Lin Feng responded with a smile, looking through the porthole and staring at the vast sea of stars, his heart filled with unprecedented passion and responsibility.
"Look over there, there seems to be some movement!" Xiaojie suddenly pointed to the screen, and a technician quickly zoomed in on the screen. Everyone held their breath and saw some unnatural light jumping on the surface of a planet, as if in response to their arrival. .
"Is it a sign of life? Or... another civilization?" As soon as Zhou Lili finished speaking, the control room fell into silence. Everyone was shocked by this sudden discovery.
"Keep calm, we can't assume anything." Lin Feng commanded calmly, "Xiaojie, you and several team members are preparing the landing craft. We need to investigate at close range. Remember, follow the first contact principle, don't Causing unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Roger, Captain!" Xiaojie saluted, turned around and left the control room with a team of people, preparing for what may be the first interstellar contact in human history.
"Meira, can you contact Earth's expert advisory group? We need their immediate guidance." Lin Feng turned to Meira, who quickly operated the communication equipment to contact Earth.
"Earth, this is the Interstellar Explorer. We have discovered suspected signs of intelligent life. Please prepare an expert team immediately. We need your professional advice." Mela's steady voice was transmitted to the distant blue planet through radio waves.
While waiting for a reply, everyone in the control room gathered unconsciously and whispered to each other. The air was filled with a mixture of tension and excitement.
"This is incredible. We may actually be the first members of human history to contact alien civilization." A young scientist murmured to himself, and his companions patted him on the back hard. , to show encouragement.
"The Earth has responded, and the expert team is waiting online to provide us with support at any time." Mera's announcement interrupted the whispers in the control room, and everyone immediately returned to their respective places, concentrating on the next preparations. Work.
The landing craft landed smoothly on the target planet. The team led by Xiaojie wore special protective equipment and carefully set foot on the unknown land. With every step they take, the control room shares the novelty and uneasiness through real-time transmission of footage.
"Captain, here... there are buildings here. They look like ruins of an abandoned city." Xiaojie's voice trembled slightly and was transmitted back to the control room through the communicator, triggering a burst of exclamations.
"Confirm whether there are direct signs of life. We need to proceed cautiously." Lin Feng ordered. Even though he was not at the scene, he could still feel the tension and excitement of exploring the unknown world.
With the in-depth exploration of Xiaojie's team, the people in the control room seemed to have experienced it themselves, witnessing through their eyes the remains of ancient civilizations and miracles that could not be explained by existing science. Every exclamation and doubt is a challenge to the limits of human cognition.
"Captain, we have found some kind of device, it seems to still be working, it...it emits a beam of light, pointed directly at us!" Before Xiaojie finished speaking, the crowd in the control room erupted. There was chaos.
"Keep calm, act according to the plan, and don't touch anything until we know more." Lin Feng's voice was unquestionable and firm, trying to calm everyone's emotions.
Just as everyone was staring at the screen, anticipating the next move of Xiaojie's team, a warm and peaceful thought suddenly sounded in everyone's heart, like a whisper from the depths of the universe:
"Welcome , friends from afar. Your courage and thirst for knowledge are our long-lost melody. Let us jointly uncover the mysteries of the universe and weave new stories.”
At that moment, everyone in the control room was silent. They were all immersed in the inexplicable shock and emotion. Lin Feng spoke slowly, announcing to both the unknown existence and the entire crew:
“Thank you for your acceptance. We come with peace, eager to learn, and eager to understand. I hope that this encounter will become the beginning of two The beginning of friendship in this world."
"What a wonderful answer, Captain Lin." The warm thoughts echoed again, accompanied by an inexplicable joy, "Please follow the guidance of the beam, there is us there. The gift prepared for you is a reward for your brave exploration.”
Xiaojie and the team members exchanged looks of shock and curiosity, then carefully moved forward in the direction guided by the beam, and finally came to an ancient structure that looked like an altar. In the center of the structure, a brilliant crystal lies quietly, emitting gentle yet powerful energy fluctuations.
"This...is this a gift for us?" Xiaojie's voice was mixed with awe.
"It seems so, Xiaojie. But before contacting us, we have to ensure safety." Lin Feng reminded through the communicator, and at the same time contacted Meira, "Meira, conduct a remote scan immediately to confirm the crystal "
In the control room, Meira acted quickly, and the sounds of high-tech equipment were heard one after another. "Captain, preliminary analysis shows that this crystal not only contains unknown forms of energy, but also seems to contain a huge amount of information, like an information library." Meira's voice was slightly trembling with excitement.
"Information database?" Zhou Lili repeated, her eyes lit up, "Could it be the history, technology, or even their understanding of the universe of that civilization?"
"It's possible, Lily. But the deeper content needs to be studied by ourselves." Lin Feng responded, then turned to Xiaojie, "Xiaojie, follow the safety procedures to retrieve the crystal and bring it back to the spacecraft."
Xiaojie He and his teammates carefully completed the mission, the crystal was safely placed in a special isolation box, and slowly lifted off and returned to the "Interstellar Explorer". Throughout the whole process, that warm thought was always with me, as if it was a silent blessing.
As soon as the crystal returned to the spacecraft, the research team couldn't wait to start the analysis work, and the control room was filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. As time goes by, shocking pictures gradually appear on the screen: the development of alien civilizations, cognition of the universe, and even unimaginable technological principles.
"This...this is the design drawing of the jump engine! It is centuries ahead of our existing technology!" An engineer shouted excitedly, and colleagues around him cast shocked and envious looks. .
“It seems that there are indeed civilizations in the universe that are more advanced than ours.” Zhou Lili sighed, her eyes filled with infinite longing for the future.
"What's more important is that they are willing to share." Lin Feng answered with gratitude and thoughtfulness in his tone. "This is not only a gift, but also an invitation, inviting us to join the broader cosmic civilization."
"Captain, you are right." Meera nodded, "We should consider how to respond to this invitation and what we can bring to the universe." (End of Chapter)
