The icy suction and the feeling of confusion that seemed to be pulling his soul out made Mou Xuan's brows tightly locked into a "川" shape!
He could clearly sense that what the communication expert Li said was true. The violent and chaotic force of time and space inside the passage was like countless invisible hands, ready to tear apart any intruders at any time.
"Captain..." There was a barely perceptible tremor in the voice of expedition member Tao. The fire of hope that had just been ignited was now just a flickering flame in his eyes that could go out at any time.
The other team members' expressions were not much better, they went from great joy to great sorrow in just a few minutes, and this sense of disappointment was enough to break down anyone's psychological defenses.
"Why are you panicking?" Mou Xuan's voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable calmness. "Since it is a passage, there must be a way to get through it. Expert Li, you just said that the energy level of the space-time vortex is very high, and its distribution is irregular. Is this conclusion based on our current detection methods?"
Li's communications expert was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Yes, Captain. The accuracy of the detectors we carry will be greatly affected in this highly chaotic space-time environment. The energy fluctuations of these vortices are too drastic, which interferes with our prediction of their specific movement trajectories."
"Mr. Xiao," Mou Xuan turned to the space-time expert Xiao who was standing beside him. The gray-haired old man was staring at the energy curtain with a serious expression, his eyes flashing with thought. "Based on your experience, is the vortex inside this naturally formed space-time channel really completely disordered?"
Xiao, the time and space expert, pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Captain, everything in the universe seems chaotic, but in fact it has its own rules. Although these time and space vortices are violent, they must be the product of a certain energy balance being broken. If...if we can find the source of their formation, or some kind of 'node' where their energy flows, perhaps we can find a glimmer of hope."
"Energy imbalance..." Mou Xuan repeated in a low voice, his eyes once again looking at the rotating hole.
Although his time ability cannot directly eliminate these terrifying whirlpools, his perception of the subtle changes and flow of energy is far beyond that of ordinary people.
He closed his eyes, concentrated his mental strength, and carefully reached out to the energy curtain.
This time, he no longer tried to touch it, but just felt it quietly like a bystander.
Violence, chaos, tearing... countless negative perceptions flooded into my mind.
But gradually, beneath these violent appearances, Mou Xuan seemed to catch a faint, almost negligible "pulse".
These whirlpools are not monolithic; there seems to be some subtle increase and decrease between them.
"I understand!" Mou Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed, "The reason why these whirlpools are so violent is that the channel itself is trying to maintain stability, but the energy from the surrounding chaotic space-time area continues to pour in, breaking this stability and forming dynamic 'breach'! These breaches are whirlpools!"
Xiao Shikong's eyes lit up: "Captain, what you mean is... these vortices are actually an extreme manifestation of the energy exchange between the channel and the outside world? If so, can we use the relatively stable space-time energy at the edge of the channel?"
"That's right!" Mou Xuan said decisively, "Feng the space-time resource collector!"
"Here!" Feng, the space-time resource collector who has been responsible for collecting space-time resources, responded immediately.
Although he was afraid of the vortex, he did not hesitate to follow Mou Xuan's orders.
"Your mission," Mu Xuan pointed to the relatively calm energy areas around the entrance of the passage, "is to collect the scattered, relatively stable space-time energies. We need them!"
"Captain, this is too dangerous!" Defender Peng immediately objected. "Although the edge of the channel is more stable than the interior, it is still full of unknowns. Once Collector Feng gets close, he is likely to be swept up by the sudden energy fluctuations!"
"I know there are risks," Mou Xuan's eyes were firm, "but this is our only solution at the moment. Defender Peng, expedition member Tao, your mission is to protect collector Feng's safety. If there is any abnormal movement, immediately cover his evacuation. Communications expert Li, continue to monitor the channel energy fluctuations, especially the intensity and position changes of the vortex, to provide data support for collector Feng's collection work."
"Yes, Captain!" Everyone responded in unison. Although they were still worried, Mou Xuan's determination and confidence infected them.
Feng Shikong resource collector took a deep breath and activated the multi-functional collector on his wrist.
Several slender energy tubes extended from the top of the collector, flashing a faint blue light.
He cautiously approached the edge of the passage entrance. Defender Peng and expedition member Tao were on his left and right, holding energy weapons and observing the surroundings vigilantly.
"Three meters to the left front, the energy escape point, intensity level 7, relatively stable." The voice of communication expert Li came from the communicator.
Collector Feng followed the instructions and the energy conduit slowly extended out and came into contact with the dissipated energy.
The collector made a slight humming sound, and the light blue energy was sucked into the catheter like a stream of water and flowed into the storage unit inside the collector.
The process was smoother than expected, but it was also full of thrills.
Several times, violent energy ripples suddenly appeared at the edge of the channel, almost sucking collector Feng in.
Fortunately, Defender Peng and Expedition Tao reacted quickly and opened fire in time, using the shock waves of their energy weapons to temporarily disrupt the formation of the ripples, buying Collector Feng time to retreat.
As time passed, the energy indicator bar in the collector slowly and steadily climbed up.
