Chapter 57: Quickly Travel! Fate of Ice Star (Part 9)
The passage was deeper than they had imagined. The two men groped their way along the cold and rough rock wall, moving forward cautiously.
The deeper they went, the brighter the light became, and the air was filled with a strange energy fluctuation, causing the sensors in Shuyang's body to tremble slightly.
"Be careful!" Feng Ziang shouted softly, reaching out to grab Shu Yang who almost missed his step.
"I'm fine." Shu Yang steadied himself and looked at him gratefully.
Finally, they walked out of the narrow passage and the view in front of them suddenly opened up.
This is a huge underground space. The walls around it are shining with strange light, as if countless stars are dotted in it.
In the center of the space, a huge spherical device is suspended in the air, emitting soft light and illuminating the entire space.
"What is this?" Shu Yang exclaimed. He had never seen such a shocking sight.
"Could this be the core of the ruins?" Feng Ziang was also deeply shocked by the scene before him. He walked to the spherical device, reached out to touch the smooth surface, and felt the powerful energy contained in it.
"Look!" Shu Yang pointed to a platform under the spherical device, where there seemed to be some strange symbols engraved.
The two walked to the platform and carefully observed the symbols.
"These symbols..." Shu Yang suddenly seemed to remember something. He opened the database he carried with him and began to compare them.
"Found it!" Shu Yang shouted excitedly, "These symbols record a method for extracting a new type of energy. This energy..."
He paused and took a deep breath. "This energy is very powerful and sustainable. It won't cause any damage to the environment!"
"You mean..." Feng Ziang widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
"Yes," Shu Yang nodded affirmatively, "We have found a way to solve the energy problem!"
They looked at each other excitedly, their hearts full of hope. However, at this moment, Shu Yang noticed that there seemed to be some other symbols engraved in the corner of the platform. Those symbols were even older and more obscure...
"Wait," Shu Yang stopped Feng Ziang who was about to turn around and leave, "Look at those symbols..."
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang returned to the base with great excitement. They were eager to tell everyone about their discovery, especially Director Li, hoping to get his support.
"Manager Li, we found it!" Shu Yang couldn't wait to say as soon as he saw Manager Li, "We found a way to solve the energy problem!"
Manager Li was processing documents. When he heard Shu Yang's words, he raised his head and frowned: "What can we do?"
Feng Ziang described in detail their discoveries deep in the tunnel, especially emphasizing the new energy extraction methods recorded in those symbols.
However, after listening to this, Manager Li did not show the surprise they expected, but instead showed a hint of doubt.
The sinister Manager Li was afraid that his subordinates would take away his credit. "This is just your guess, isn't it?"
Manager Li said coldly, "Those symbols may just be some kind of decorative patterns, or they may be some kind of text records that we cannot understand. They cannot explain anything."
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Manager Li to react like this.
"But, those symbols..." Shu Yang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Manager Li.
"Okay, I got it," Manager Li waved his hand, "You guys go and have a rest first, I'll think about this matter."
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang left Manager Li's office helplessly. They knew that it would be difficult to convince Manager Li based on their speculation alone.
"It seems that we need stronger evidence," Shu Yang pondered, "We need to prove that this new energy source really exists."
"That's right," Feng Ziang nodded, "We must find a way to extract this energy."
They found Engineer Zhao and Doctor Wang and told them their findings and ideas.
Engineer Zhao and Wang Botu are both the best scientists at the Ice Star Base. They are very interested in Shu Yang and Feng Ziang's discovery and decide to conduct a detailed analysis and test of the new energy source.
After several days of intense work, Engineer Zhao and Wang Botu finally came to a conclusion.
"Director Li, the results are out," Engineer Zhao said excitedly, "Shu Yang and Feng Ziang's discovery is correct. Those symbols do record a new method of extracting energy, and we have successfully extracted a small amount of energy samples. After testing, this energy is very powerful and sustainable, and does not pollute the environment!"
Manager Li was so shocked that he was speechless when he heard the news. He looked at the test report in his hand with a gloomy expression.
He knew what this meant. It meant that the Ice Star Base would no longer face the crisis of energy depletion, that humans would gain access to a new type of clean energy, and that...
It also means that you can get promoted and climb to a higher position.
"Shu Yang," Manager Li was silent for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Shu Yang with complicated eyes, "What are you going to do?"
Shu Yang took a deep breath, his eyes determined: "I will report this discovery to the company's top management..."
As soon as Shu Yang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire office froze. Manager Li's face turned very ugly, and he held the report tightly in his hand, and his knuckles turned white.
He knew what Shu Yang's decision meant. The discovery of a new type of energy would completely change the fate of the Ice Star Base, and Shu Yang, as the promoter of this discovery, would also gain great fame and power.
And he, Manager Li, who once controlled everything in the base, will be pushed into an embarrassing position.
"Shuyang, have you really thought it through?" Manager Li's voice was low and hoarse, with a subtle threat.
Shu Yang met Manager Li's gaze without fear, his eyes firm: "Manager Li, I know what you are worried about. However, the discovery of new energy is of great importance, and we cannot hide the truth for personal gain. I must report this matter to the company's top management. Only in this way can we obtain more support and resources, and develop this energy faster to benefit all mankind."
Manager Li was silent. He knew that Shu Yang was right, but he was still filled with reluctance and anxiety. He raised his head and looked at Shu Yang with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Finally, he sighed and waved his hands helplessly, "Go ahead and do it. I believe you will make the right choice."
Shu Yang nodded and turned to leave Manager Li's office. He knew that this road would not be smooth, but he had made up his mind to bring new energy to the world no matter what difficulties he encountered.
Shu Yang returned to his room and began to prepare a report for the company's top management. He carefully sorted out all the information and data to ensure that every detail was accurate.
At this time, Secretary Chen knocked on the door and walked in.
"Shuyang, this is the printout of the report you requested."
Secretary Chen handed a document to Shu Yang, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, "Also, I have something to tell you."
