The alarms were shrill and red lights were flashing. The atmosphere in the control room was so tense that it was almost frozen.
Carl's sinister smile was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, which made Ye Ling instantly recall all the unpleasant interactions in the past.
This guy is still alive!
And you dare to show up here!
"Carl! How dare you show up!" Ye Ling shouted angrily, while gathering spiritual power in his hands, ready to fight at any time.
Duan Yu stood beside her, with a chilling aura around him. His powerful aura locked Carl, making him unable to move.
"Long time no see, Ye Ling," Carl spread his hands pretending to be relaxed, "I didn't expect that we would meet again, and in such a... tense and exciting situation." As he spoke, his hands kept moving, trying to continue operating the console.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Ye Ling asked sternly.
Carl just smiled and didn't answer.
As time passed, the energy readings displayed on the control room screen became higher and higher, and the alarms became more and more urgent, as if an explosion was about to occur in the next second.
At the critical moment, Ye Ling suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up.
"Azir, give me the blueprint of the Sirius system's energy core structure!"
Although Azir didn't understand why, he immediately sent the blueprint to Ye Ling's mecha terminal.
Ye Ling quickly browsed through the drawings and fixed her eyes on an inconspicuous node in the core device.
“It’s right here!”
She decisively activated the mecha core's super analytical capabilities, and a huge stream of data poured into Ye Ling's mind.
The structure of the core device, its operating principle, and the self-destruction program set by Carl were all clearly visible before her.
"I see..." Ye Ling raised her lips with a confident smile, "It's just a trivial trick."
Her fingers flew as she entered a complex string of codes into the mecha terminal. A golden light shot out from the core of the mecha and accurately hit the node on the core device.
"No! Impossible!" Carl widened his eyes in disbelief. His carefully designed self-destruct program was cracked so easily by Ye Ling.
The alarms in the control room gradually faded, and the energy readings stabilized. The crisis was over.
Azir looked at Ye Ling, his eyes filled with admiration. "How... did you do that?"
Ye Ling smiled slightly and was about to explain, but suddenly she felt a strong energy fluctuation coming from outside the control room.
"Oh no, there are other people!" Duan Yu grabbed Ye Ling's hand and looked at the door of the control room vigilantly.
The door swung open, and a figure in a black cloak slowly walked in...
The man in black robe slowly took off his hood, revealing a familiar face - it was Li Shangren!
With a fawning smile plastered on his face, he rubbed his hands together as he walked over to Azir. "Oh, it was a close call! Thanks to Miss Ye Ling, an interstellar disaster was averted! On behalf of the Interstellar Chamber of Commerce, I, Li, express my sincerest gratitude to you and Earth!"
Azir gave him a suspicious look. "Merchant Li? What are you doing here?"
Li Shangren laughed: "I'm worried about your safety! I came here specially to take a look, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thrilling scene! Fortunately, the ending is good!" As he spoke, his eyes were wandering, as if he was hiding something.
Ye Ling keenly noticed his abnormality and calmly turned on the scanning function of the mecha. The result surprised her: Merchant Li was carrying a large amount of banned energy minerals!
"Merchant Li," Ye Ling looked at him with a half-smile, "Can you explain what's going on with these ores?"
The smile on Merchant Li's face froze instantly, his eyes flickering: "This...this...I...I'm going to use it...for business!"
"Business?" Ye Ling sneered, "Who are you planning to sell these dangerous items that could trigger an interstellar war to?"
Cold sweat broke out on Li Shangren's forehead, he knew he was exposed.
His original plan was to use Carl to create chaos, and then take the opportunity to steal the core energy technology of the Sirius system, and then sell these banned minerals at a high price to forces on other planets.
Unexpectedly, all his plans were ruined by Ye Ling.
Faced with Ye Ling's questioning, Li Shangren was speechless.
Azir was furious and immediately ordered the detention of Li Shangren.
An interstellar crisis was completely resolved by Ye Ling.
The alien civilization was deeply grateful to Ye Ling, and the two sides formally reached a comprehensive and unreserved all-round cooperation agreement in trade, culture, technology and other areas.
Ye Ling became a legendary figure in the history of communication between Earth and extraterrestrial civilizations.
Duan Yu excitedly picked up Ye Ling and spun her in the air: "Ye Ling, you are so great!" Ye Ling also responded to him affectionately. At this moment, their love, like their cooperative relationship, reached a happy state.
However, Ye Ling knew that this was just the beginning.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, Azir's assistant hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Azir's expression changed slightly, and he turned to Ye Ling and said, "Miss Ye Ling, there is one more thing..."
