Chapter 216 The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations and the Choice of Alliances
The exploration team continued their in-depth research near the mysterious celestial body, gradually deciphering more information about the ancient civilization. They discovered that this civilization possessed a mysterious technology capable of manipulating spacetime. This technology was not simply interstellar travel, but rather the ability to distort spacetime at a microscopic level, achieving efficient energy conversion and matter recombination.
As the research progressed, the exploration team discovered hidden entrances on the surface of celestial bodies. These entrances were protected by ancient energy shields, inscribed with intricate runes and radiating a mysterious light. After a difficult deciphering process, they finally found a way to enter.
When the exploration team stepped inside, the sight before them left them in awe. The interior was a vast underground space, its walls inlaid with various strange crystals that emitted a soft glow, illuminating the entire space. In the center of the space stood a colossal metal statue, holding a sphere radiating intense energy in its hand.
Scientists speculate that this sphere is likely the core device for manipulating spacetime technology. They cautiously approached the sphere, using their onboard detection equipment to scan and analyze it. However, just as they were about to complete their initial analysis, the sphere suddenly released a powerful energy fluctuation, engulfing the entire exploration team.
Under the influence of this energy fluctuation, the exploration team members witnessed a series of strange sights. They saw the former glory of this ancient civilization, how they used spacetime technology to create miracles in the universe, and also the reason for its eventual decline—a sudden cosmic catastrophe destroyed their home, and despite their advanced technology, they could not withstand the calamity.
As the energy fluctuations gradually dissipated, the exploration team returned to reality. They knew that the technology contained within this sphere represented both a tremendous opportunity and a severe challenge for the Interstellar Alliance. Mastering spacetime technology would allow the Alliance's technological capabilities to leap forward, enabling them to solve many current problems, such as resource shortages and limitations on interstellar travel. However, the misuse of this powerful technology could also lead to catastrophic consequences, such as spacetime distortions and invasions by creatures from different dimensions.
The exploration team returned to the alliance headquarters with the sphere and a wealth of research data, causing a huge uproar. The alliance immediately convened an emergency meeting, bringing together representatives from all member organizations to discuss how to handle the discovery.
At the meeting, the delegates expressed their opinions freely. Some delegates believed that in-depth research on the sphere should be conducted immediately to master spacetime technology as soon as possible, thereby enhancing the alliance's strength to cope with various challenges that may arise in the future. They emphasized that in this dog-eat-dog universe, strong technological capabilities are key to ensuring the alliance's security and development.
However, other representatives expressed concerns. They pointed out that the complexity and dangers of spacetime technology far exceed imagination, and that hastily researching and applying it without a full understanding of its principles and potential risks could bring annihilation to the alliance. They advocated sealing the sphere first, organizing top scientists to conduct long-term, cautious research, and ensuring that sufficient knowledge and technology are acquired before considering its use.
Some representatives proposed a compromise: establish a dedicated research base on a desolate planet far from the Alliance's core region. This base would be staffed by the Alliance's most outstanding scientists, who would conduct research on spherical and spacetime technologies under strict security measures and supervision. During the research process, if any risk potentially leading to serious consequences was discovered, the research would be immediately halted, and appropriate measures would be taken.
After intense discussions, the alliance ultimately decided to adopt this compromise. They began constructing a research base on a desolate planet called "Silent Star." This planet, far removed from other planets and with a complex surrounding environment, could effectively reduce the potential impact on other planets during the research process.
While constructing the base, the Alliance was also selecting scientists to participate in the research. These scientists not only needed top-notch research capabilities but also a high sense of responsibility and ethical standards. They deeply understood that they bore the future of the entire Alliance on their shoulders, and that any decision they made could affect the fate of countless people.
With the gradual completion of the research base, research on the spacetime technology of the ancient civilization is about to officially begin. The entire Interstellar Alliance is paying close attention to the progress of this project, hoping to find new hope from the legacy of the ancient civilization and pave a bright path for the future of the Alliance. However, they also know that every step on the road to exploring the unknown is full of risks and challenges, and they need to proceed with caution.
