Chapter 79 Quickly Transmigrate! Fate of the Ice Star (Thirty-One)
Shu Yang ignored him and carefully examined the metal table, trying to find some clues. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a line of tiny words on the metal table.
"Wait..." Shu Yang pointed at the words and said, "These words..."
Before he could finish, Wu suddenly exclaimed, pointed at the wall of the laboratory and said, "Look! What is that?!" Everyone looked in the direction of Wu's finger and saw some strange words appearing on the originally smooth wall. These words seemed to be written in some kind of luminous liquid, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim laboratory.
"This is..." Director Wu walked closer to examine it carefully, his brows furrowed, "This is the ancient language of the stars! It was used by the natives of the Ice Star a long time ago!"
"Ancient star language?" Shu Yang's heart moved, "Can you understand it?"
Director Wu nodded, pointed at the words and said, "These words record... a prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Feng Ziang asked, "What prophecy?"
"It is predicted that when the Ice Star is covered with eternal ice and snow, a 'seed' from the starry sky will descend, which will bring light and warmth, melt the ice and snow, and give the Ice Star a new life..." Guide Wu's voice trembled slightly, with excitement and awe in his eyes.
"The 'seed' of the starry sky?" Shu Yang muttered to himself. The red eye on the metal container suddenly appeared in his mind. "Could it be that... that container is the 'seed' mentioned in the prophecy?"
Before he could think about it, Technician Zhou suddenly shouted from the other side of the laboratory: "Oh no! This place is going to collapse!"
Everyone turned around and saw Technician Zhou running out from a pile of instruments in panic, his face pale and sweaty.
"What happened?" asked Officer Sun.
"I...I accidentally triggered the laboratory's defense mechanism!" Technician Zhou pointed behind him and said, "The entire laboratory will self-destruct in ten minutes!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked. Once the laboratory's self-destruction program was activated, it would mean that everything here would be destroyed, including the secret they had just discovered.
"We must leave here immediately!" Shu Yang acted decisively and ordered a retreat.
No one dared to delay. Taking the research data they had collected, they followed the same route they had come, and ran out desperately under the leadership of Director Wu.
The shaking in the laboratory became more and more violent, and rocks above the head kept falling, as if the end of the world was about to come.
"Hurry! The exit is just ahead!" Director Wu pointed at the faint light ahead and shouted loudly.
Everyone tried their best and finally rushed out of the laboratory at the last moment.
With a loud bang, the laboratory behind him completely collapsed and turned into ruins.
Shu Yang, Feng Ziang and others stood on the hillside, looking at the smoke rising into the sky in front of them, and remained silent for a long time.
They knew that although this expedition was full of dangers, it also brought them unprecedented gains.
Not only did they uncover the secrets that had been hidden on the Ice Planet for many years, but more importantly, they found hope to save the Ice Planet and end the Ice Age...
"Let's go," Shu Yang took a deep breath and turned to look at the team members behind him, "We have more important things to do."
The group walked towards the base with heavy materials and hopes. After returning to the base, Shu Yang went straight to Director Li's office...
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang returned to the base exhausted and rushed straight to Manager Li's office without taking a rest. The door of the office was closed, Shu Yang took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Manager Li's voice sounded a little tired.
Shu Yang pushed open the door, and Feng Ziang and several team members followed closely behind, each of them with an undisguised excitement and a hint of solemnity on their face.
"Manager Li, we have important findings to report to you." Shu Yang handed a document to Manager Li.
Manager Li took the information and his brows gradually furrowed as he read. His eyes scanned the lines of data and his expression became more and more serious. "Are you sure these data are true?"
"It's absolutely true!" Feng Ziang said firmly, "We witnessed the laboratory's self-destruction with our own eyes. If the situation wasn't urgent, we would definitely bring back more complete data."
Manager Li was silent. He paced back and forth. The office was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. He knew that if the information was true, then they would have the key to changing the fate of Ice Star, and even end the ice age that had lasted for hundreds of years. However, the energy contained in this information could also bring about a huge disaster. Once it was used by an ambitious person, the consequences would be disastrous.
"This is a very serious matter," Manager Li finally stopped and scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze. "Until everything is clear, no one is allowed to leak any information about this discovery. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" the team members answered in unison.
"Shuyang, you stay. The others go back and rest first." Manager Li rubbed his temples and signaled the others to leave.
The office door closed gently. Manager Li walked to the window, looked out at the gray sky, and whispered, "Shuyang, what do you think we should do?"
Shu Yang was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Secretary Chen walked in in a panic, holding a document in his hand. "Manager Li, you'd better take a look at this..."
Secretary Chen's face turned pale. He quickly walked to Manager Li and handed him the document. "I just found this when I was sorting out the data. A few years ago, other galaxies tried to use this rare energy, and the result was..."
He didn't say anything more, but the implication in his words was enough to make people feel alarmed. Manager Li quickly browsed through the documents, his brows furrowed more and more. The documents recorded several disasters caused by energy out of control, and the shocking pictures and data were chilling.
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang's hearts also sank. They originally thought that what they brought back was hope, the key to changing the fate of Bingxing. However, this document poured cold water on them, making them realize that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.
"How could this happen..." Feng Ziang muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.
Manager Li put down the documents and rubbed his brow tiredly. "It seems that we are facing not only opportunities, but also huge risks."
Shu Yang took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "Manager Li, I understand your concerns, but we can't hide the truth because we are afraid of risks. This information is too important. It concerns the future of the entire Ice Star!"
