Mou Xuan looked at the beads of sweat oozing from Expert Li's forehead, and felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart.
The interruption of communications means that they have completely lost contact with the base. In this dangerous time and space, they are like a small boat floating in the vast ocean, which may be swallowed up at any time.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Everyone," Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, glancing around at the team members surrounding him, "Everyone knows the seriousness of the communication interruption. We must find a solution as soon as possible."
Xiao, the gray-haired but energetic time and space expert, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said solemnly: "I suspect that the time and space turbulence in this area has interfered with the communication signal. We must find a relatively stable time and space node to re-establish communication."
"A relatively stable space-time node?" Tao, an experienced expedition member in the team, frowned. "The space-time fluctuations in this area are drastic. It is not easy to find such a node."
"There is no time to lose," Mou Xuan made a prompt decision. "Tao, you and Peng immediately search the surrounding area for relatively stable space-time nodes. Feng, you go collect more special energy in case of emergency." He turned to look at Expert Li, "Expert Li, you conduct a comprehensive inspection and debugging of the communication equipment to see if you can find the specific cause of the signal interruption."
The team members took the order and left, but Mou Xuan was still worried.
Time passed by minute by minute, like sand in an hourglass, decreasing little by little, and his anxiety deepened.
He paced back and forth, looking into the distance from time to time, hoping to see Tao and Peng bring back good news.
The wind from another time and space whistled past, blowing up the dust on the ground and forming strange spirals, as if mocking their helplessness.
In the distance, strange-shaped plants swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.
The waiting time always seemed extremely long, and Mou Xuan felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, like the beating of a drum.
Suddenly, a shout from defender Peng came from a distance, and then a dazzling flare streaked across the sky, blooming a brilliant spark in the gray sky.
"Found it!" Mou Xuan was delighted and immediately called Expert Li and ran towards the direction of the flare.
Tao and Peng stood next to a shimmering energy vortex, with undisguised excitement on their faces.
"Captain Mou, we have found a relatively stable space-time node!"
Before Mou Xuan could say anything more, he immediately asked expert Li to start setting up the communication equipment.
Feng Shikong's resource collectors also arrived in time and injected the collected special energy into the communication equipment. The originally dim equipment instantly glowed with dazzling light.
Expert Li operated the equipment nervously, his fingers moving rapidly on the control panel.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him and the air was filled with tension.
Once, failed.
Twice, still failed.
Expert Li's forehead was covered with sweat and his hands began to tremble slightly.
"Expert Li, don't be anxious, take your time." Mou Xuan patted his shoulder and encouraged him.
Expert Li took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and started trying again.
This time, he was more cautious and took every step carefully, as if he was performing a delicate operation.
As time passed, the indicator lights on the communication equipment flickered, and everyone's hearts fluctuated.
Suddenly, the indicator light stabilized and emitted a dazzling green light.
Expert Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "It's done!"
Mou Xuan's heart was beating violently, and he felt a warm current flowing through his body.
He picked up the communicator and took a deep breath...
The moment communications were restored, the depressing atmosphere in the command room was instantly broken.
Cheers and conversations rang out one after another, and everyone's face was filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
Mou Xuan clenched the communicator in his hand, listening to the familiar voice coming from the base, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
The situation at the base was better than they had expected. Although it was also affected by the distortion of time and space, it was generally within controllable range.
This undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm.
He quickly reported the team's current situation to the base, emphasizing the abnormal energy fluctuations and suspected remains of an ancient civilization they had discovered in the area.
The base expressed its full support for their exploration and promised to send support teams and necessary supplies as soon as possible.
Just as everyone was relieved that communications had been restored and the future was full of hope, Professor Xiao's voice exploded in the command room like a thunder: "Abnormal fluctuations have occurred at the space-time nodes, and the intensity is continuing to rise!"
Professor Xiao is the time and space expert in the team, and his words undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone.
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the command room froze in an instant, and everyone's face was filled with shock and anxiety.
Mou Xuan immediately walked to Professor Xiao and looked at the waveform graph that kept jumping on the screen with a frown.
The red warning light flashed brightly, indicating the approach of danger.
"What is the specific situation?" Mou Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"The space-time node we are in is becoming extremely unstable, and the space-time fluctuations around us are becoming more and more intense, just like... like a dam that is about to collapse!" There was a hint of tremor in Professor Xiao's tone, he had never seen such violent space-time fluctuations.
"The collapsed dam?" Mou Xuan murmured to himself, and a terrible picture emerged in his mind: the surging turbulence of time and space swallowed everything, and their spaceship was like a lone boat tossed in the stormy waves, and was finally ruthlessly torn apart.
