"Maybe I should try again." Ye Ling took a deep breath and looked firmly at the energy body that was flashing with faint blue light.
Recalling the last small explosion of the energy body, she was still frightened, but her desire to explore the unknown and her determination to protect the world made her choose to move forward.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ling activated the core of the ancient mecha.
Buzz——!
The low sound of energy resonance echoed in the laboratory, and a soft light emanated from the core, enveloping Ye Ling like a layer of gauze, bringing a sense of peace of mind.
The surrounding instruments flickered with a cold light and the air was filled with a strange smell, reminding her of the mystery and danger of her research environment.
Ye Ling knew very well that if she was not careful, it might cause the energy body to explode again, or even have more serious consequences.
But she didn't back down.
Slender fingers danced rapidly on the control panel, and lines of code poured down like a waterfall. Ye Ling was fully focused, mobilizing every bit of mental strength, trying to establish a connection with the energy body.
"This time, I must succeed!" she said to herself.
At the same time, in a secret base thousands of miles away, Leblanc was leisurely sipping red wine with a sneer on her lips.
"Hmph, Ye Ling, do you think you can break through my control device? That's wishful thinking!" She firmly believed that Ye Ling would be stumped by the obstacle of device control. After all, this was a trap she carefully designed.
However, LeBlanc's confidence was soon ruthlessly shattered.
With the help of the special ability of the ancient mecha core, Ye Ling actually detected a weak point in the equipment!
"Found it!" Ye Ling
"Report! Chief, Ye Ling... Ye Ling she..." A subordinate ran in hurriedly, his face pale and he spoke with a stutter.
"What's the matter? Take your time!" Leblanc frowned impatiently.
"Ye Ling...she seems to have discovered the weak point of the equipment!" said the subordinate tremblingly.
"What?!" The wine glass in Leblanc's hand fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into pieces. The bright red wine splashed all over her, as if foreshadowing the impending crisis.
"How is this possible?! How could she possibly find out..." Leblanc's face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
At this moment, Ye Ling raised a confident smile and stared firmly at the code jumping on the screen.
"The game has just begun..." she said softly, her slender fingers hitting the last enter key on the keyboard.
Ye Ling's slender fingers danced rapidly on the keyboard, the code poured down like a waterfall, and the screen flashed with green light, announcing her victory.
"It's done!" Ye Ling clenched his fist excitedly, and the crisp sound of clapping echoed in the laboratory.
The core of the ancient mecha vibrated slightly, as if responding to her joy.
The barrier that controlled the equipment collapsed, and the control of some of the equipment returned to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling immediately devoted herself to the study of energy bodies.
She operated the newly acquired equipment, carefully detecting the fluctuations of the energy body, like a skilled performer playing a complex piece of music.
The energy body emitted a soft glow, as if responding to her efforts.
The originally solemn atmosphere in the laboratory gradually dissipated as she made progress, and a ray of hope penetrated the haze.
The core of the ancient mecha exuded a faint warmth, providing her with a constant supply of energy support. This feeling could be summed up in one word: stable!
However, the good times did not last long.
The Duan Yu family was furious when they learned that he was still secretly helping Ye Ling.
The family elders unanimously agreed that Duan Yu's behavior seriously damaged the interests of the family and must be severely punished.
Shen, the shrewd family strategist, added fuel to the fire and suggested that Duan Yu be punished more severely to serve as a warning to others.
Duan Yu was imprisoned in a dark and damp room, his body bound by cold chains and his spirit suffering great torture.
He gritted his teeth, enduring pain that ordinary people could hardly imagine, but there was only one thought in his mind: Ye Ling, you must be safe.
When the news came, Ye Ling was struck by lightning.
She paced back and forth in the laboratory anxiously, her heart distraught.
The surrounding instruments flashed with cold light, as if mocking her helplessness.
She gripped the ancient mecha core tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white.
"Akali..." Ye Ling's voice was low and hoarse.
Akali spun around in the database like a top, her slender fingers sliding across the virtual screen, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
"Sister Ye Ling, there is too little information on the energy body stabilization device! This thing is more difficult to deal with than my predecessor!" She complained while searching relentlessly, fearing that she would miss any useful information.
Ye Ling looked at the busy Akali and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
The lab was filled with the aroma of coffee mixed with the smell of engine oil, which was surprisingly not unpleasant.
She patted Akali's shoulder gently. "Thank you for your hard work, Akali. It's great to have you!"
Akali chuckled, revealing her small white teeth. "We're all sisters, why are we talking about different things? Besides, how can I, Akali, be left out of such a noble cause as saving the world?"
The friendship between the two became stronger at this moment, like an indestructible barrier that could withstand all storms.
However, it's not all friendly atmosphere in the lab.
Kayn watched Ye Ling's control equipment being improved step by step, and the flames of jealousy almost burned him to ashes.
"Hmph, what are you so proud of? I wonder how long you can keep laughing!" He smiled sinisterly, sneaked to Ye Ling's workbench, and while she wasn't paying attention, implanted a piece of fake code into the research data.
When Ye Ling was analyzing the data, she keenly noticed something unusual.
"Wait, this fluctuation is wrong..." She frowned, staring at the jumping curve on the screen with sharp eyes, her fingers tapping on the keyboard quickly, tracing it in reverse.
"Kayn, what did you do?!" Ye Ling turned around suddenly and stared at Kayn with sharp eyes.
The atmosphere in the laboratory froze instantly. The researchers around stopped their work and looked over here. The eyes of the onlookers were full of curiosity and excitement.
Kaiyin was intimidated by Ye Ling's aura, his face turning pale and blue. "I... I didn't do anything! Don't slander me!"
"Heh," Ye Ling sneered, "Do you think those little tricks you did can be hidden from me? I have already cleared all the error codes you implanted." She raised the data analysis report in her hand, which clearly showed the evidence of Kayn's guilt.
Kayn's face turned even uglier, as if he had swallowed a fly.
He glared at Ye Ling fiercely, turned around and walked away, leaving behind a sentence full of resentment: "Just wait for me!"
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill sound broke the silence of the laboratory.
The energy body fluctuated violently, and the dark blue light became more and more dazzling, as if it was about to explode at any time.
The protective device creaked under the heavy weight, and seemed about to collapse in the next second.
Ye Ling looked at the energy body that was about to go out of control and took a deep breath... "Start the fusion program."
