With the "Parallel Gate" project achieving a breakthrough, the Cosmic Peace Alliance has ushered in a new era of development. Su Yao is well aware that every decision at this moment could influence the Alliance's trajectory for thousands of years to come. In the Alliance's core conference room, a heated discussion is underway regarding the next steps of the parallel universe exploration plan.

"We must carefully select the first group of explorers to enter the parallel universe. They must not only possess formidable strength, but also keen insight and adaptability," Su Yao said firmly. The representatives in the conference room nodded in agreement. An expert from the technology research and development department then spoke: "Based on the information we have obtained so far, we also need to develop a completely new set of protective equipment to cope with the unknown energy fluctuations and dangerous environments that may occur in the parallel universe."

Thus, the Alliance began intensive preparations. Su Yao personally participated in the selection of the expedition team, choosing a group of elites from among numerous volunteers. These included Space Marines skilled in combat and tactical analysis, diplomats fluent in multiple cosmic languages ​​and cultures, and scholars with outstanding achievements in scientific research. Meanwhile, the research team worked day and night, combining information and data from parallel universes and utilizing the latest materials and technologies to create a lightweight yet powerful protective gear. This gear not only withstands high-intensity energy impacts but also possesses adaptive environmental adjustment capabilities and a life support system, ensuring the expedition team's survival and mobility in the parallel universe.

With everything prepared, Su Yao led the expedition team to the "Parallel Gate." The team members' eyes held both tension for the unknown and a thirst for exploration. As a massive influx of energy was injected, the "Parallel Gate" slowly opened, and a dazzling light shot out from within. Su Yao took a deep breath and stepped into the passage first. The team members followed closely behind, instantly engulfed by the light.

The moment they stepped into the parallel universe, a strange feeling washed over them. The gravity, light, and air composition here were slightly different from their own universe. The surrounding scenery astonished them even more: enormous creatures soared through the sky, their body structures defying the biological common sense of their own universe; the architectural styles were bizarre, some floating in the air, others appearing to be a fusion of biological and mechanical elements.

The expedition team quickly sprang into action, dividing into groups to explore according to the pre-arranged plan. Su Yao led one group towards a massive energy source. Upon approaching, they encountered an attack from a group of guardians resembling mechanical golems. These golems were agile and possessed powerful weaponry; their energy beams nearly struck the expedition team. Su Yao immediately used her spatial abilities to distort the attack's trajectory at a crucial moment, while simultaneously directing her team to counterattack. The Space Marines engaged the golems in fierce combat using their advanced weaponry, while the scholars analyzed the golems' attack patterns and energy sources, attempting to find a way to break through their defenses.

After a fierce battle, the expedition team finally broke through the puppets' defenses and reached the energy source. The energy source before them was a massive crystal, radiating a dazzling array of colors, its energy fluctuations sending chills down their spines. Su Yao used her special abilities and technological equipment to begin probing and analyzing the energy source. Just as they were about to obtain crucial data, the surrounding space distorted, and a group of unknown creatures appeared. These creatures were transparent and could move freely through space; they seemed hostile to the expedition team's arrival and instantly launched an attack.

The expedition team was engaged in a fierce and arduous struggle. Su Yao had to protect the team members who were collecting data while simultaneously fending off attacks from all sides. She realized that these creatures might be unique energy lifeforms from a parallel universe, and conventional attack methods were largely ineffective against them. Therefore, she focused her mind, mobilizing her spatial abilities, attempting to trap these creatures within a confined space. Through her efforts, space gradually distorted and deformed, forming a temporary cage. However, these creatures possessed immense strength, constantly assaulting the spatial cage, and were on the verge of breaking free.

At this critical moment, members of the other teams arrived just in time. The diplomatic team established a preliminary communication channel with the creatures through a special energy frequency, attempting to convey their desire for peace. After a difficult exchange, the creatures seemed to understand that the expedition meant no harm, and their attacks gradually ceased. The expedition seized the opportunity, successfully obtaining complete data on the energy source and reaching a preliminary agreement for peaceful coexistence with the creatures.

Armed with valuable data and experience, Su Yao led the expedition team back to their home universe. Their return was warmly welcomed by the Cosmic Peace Alliance. This data and experience provided crucial evidence and reference for the Alliance's further exploration of parallel universes. Standing in the plaza of the Alliance headquarters, watching the cheering crowd, Su Yao knew in her heart that this was just the beginning. The mysteries of parallel universes, like endless treasures in a vast sea of ​​stars, awaited their deeper excavation and exploration. And the Cosmic Peace Alliance, guided by the spirit of peace, exploration, and cooperation, will continue to meet one unknown challenge after another, bravely forging ahead into the depths of the universe.
