Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"We are ready to accept this challenge." Lin Feng announced firmly, his voice echoing in the control room, arousing everyone's fighting spirit.

"Captain Lin, we will go with you, no matter what lies ahead." Xiao Jie was the first to speak up, his fists clenched.

"That's right. For the sake of our homeland and our future, we have no reason to retreat." Meira's voice was full of power, and her eyes swept over everyone present, as if giving silent encouragement.

Zhou Lili also nodded firmly, with a brave light in her eyes, "I will go too. No matter how difficult it is, I will contribute my part."

"This is the team, this is home." Lin Feng looked around, his heart filled with emotion, "Now, we must not only prepare the boat, but also prepare our hearts to welcome everything that is coming."

In the following days, the control room was filled with a tense atmosphere of preparation. Engineers worked overtime to upgrade the spacecraft to ensure that it could cope with the unknown interstellar travel; scientists repeatedly studied the technical documents of the ancient civilization, trying to extract key information from them; and Lin Feng and Meira were responsible for formulating a detailed expedition plan, while also not forgetting to instill the importance of unity and trust in the team.

"The day we set off will be a new page in our history." At the end of a team meeting, Raymond Lam encouraged everyone.

Time flies, and the time for departure finally arrives. As the spacecraft slowly rises, passes through the clouds, and heads toward the unknown star coordinates, a strange silence echoes in the control room, and everyone is prepared deep in their hearts.

"Captain, are we really going to enter that unknown land?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Xiaojie's voice, but more of a desire for adventure.

"That's right, Xiaojie." Lin Feng smiled, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and determination about the unknown, "Because we are explorers, we believe that at the end of the universe, there are answers that belong to all of us."

The spacecraft traveled through the starry sky, gradually approaching the mysterious coordinates. Just as everyone was holding their breath, a magnificent star gate suddenly appeared before their eyes, shining with an intoxicating light.

"Wow, what...what is this?" someone exclaimed in the control room.

"This may be the gateway to a new world." Meira responded softly, with awe and anticipation in her eyes.

"Then let us step through this door together and explore the unknown new world." Lin Feng stood still, looking forward with firm eyes, his tone full of appeal.

"Heading towards a new world!" With the team's slogan shouting, the spacecraft headed towards the unknown star gate without hesitation, leaving behind a gorgeous trail, as if telling the entire universe that human exploration will never stop.

Inside and outside the control room, countless pairs of eyes witnessed this moment, with both anxiety about the unknown and infinite longing for the future in their hearts.

"This is not just a journey, it's a leap forward for our civilization," Zhou Lili said with emotion. Her voice echoed softly in the cabin, inspiring resonance in every listener.

"Think about it, we might be the first humans to see this new world." Xiaojie rubbed his hands excitedly, "I wonder if there is an alien coffee shop there? I don't want to miss the opportunity to try the cosmic latte."

"I hope the creatures there are interested in Earth's coffee culture, otherwise you may have to bring some beans as a diplomatic gift." Meira joked, causing people around her to laugh and the tense atmosphere was subtly eased.

“By the way, should we prepare a gift list? If we do encounter a friendly civilization, it wouldn’t be nice to leave empty-handed.” A young researcher made a suggestion, and everyone nodded in agreement, beginning a heated discussion.

"We have the latest energy technology, which represents the possibility of peace and cooperation," Lin Feng suggested. "Also, our culture and art, music, and movies are bridges connecting different civilizations."

"Don't forget our food culture," Zhou Lili said with a smile, "There are so many delicious foods on Earth, there must be one that can impress our alien friends."

The control room was filled with creativity and laughter, and everyone was making the best preparations for this unprecedented journey. At this moment, the alarm system inside the spacecraft suddenly sounded, and a soft electronic female voice reported: "We are about to enter the star gate, please prepare yourself."

The air froze for a few seconds, and then there was a silence, with only the sound of heartbeats and breathing intertwined. Then, a collective, almost tangible expectation spread.

"Get ready for a miracle, guys." Lin Feng's words once again inspired everyone. His eyes burned with fearlessness of the unknown and a desire for exploration.

The spaceship slowly approached the mysterious star gate, and the light became brighter and brighter until the entire cabin was bathed in splendor. With a slight jolt, as if traveling through time and space, the spaceship completely entered the star gate, and the scene in the field of vision became distorted and magical.

"We did it! We really traveled through time!" Xiaojie's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

As the distorted image gradually stabilized, a whole new world came into view - on the other side of the star gate was a colorful galaxy, with stars scattered like pearls in the boundless darkness, and the surface of the planets covered with strange vegetation, flowing with strange light.

"This... this place is so beautiful." Zhou Lili exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes sparkling with wonder and yearning for the new world.

"Record, record all around." Mela gave orders quickly, and the instruments in the control room started up quickly, capturing every detail of this unknown area.

"Keep the communication channel open and report our findings to Earth." Lin Feng instructed. He understood what this moment meant to all of humanity.

"Earth, this is the Star Explorer. We have successfully passed through the stargate and are now in an unknown but beautiful galaxy. We have seen sights never seen before and will bring back detailed information as soon as possible. Please look forward to our return."

In the control room, everyone is immersed in the joy of exploration and the imagination of infinite possibilities for the future. At this moment, they are not only moving forward for their own dreams, but also for the hope and future of all mankind.

"Captain Lin, we are really standing at the turning point of history." Zhou Lili said with emotion. "Yes, Lili, and this has just begun." Lin Feng responded with a smile, looking through the porthole, gazing at the vast sea of ​​stars, his heart surging with unprecedented passion and sense of responsibility.

"Look over there, there seems to be some movement!" Xiao Jie suddenly pointed at the screen, and a technician quickly zoomed in. Everyone stared with bated breath, and saw some unnatural lights jumping on the surface of a planet, as if responding to their arrival.

"Is it a sign of life? Or... another civilization?" As soon as Zhou Lili finished speaking, the control room fell into silence. Everyone was shocked by this sudden discovery.

"Keep calm, we can't assume anything." Lin Feng commanded calmly, "Xiao Jie, you and a few team members prepare the landing craft, we need to investigate closely. Remember, follow the first contact principle and don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Got it, Captain!" Xiaojie saluted, turned around and led a team out of the control room, preparing to meet what might be the first interstellar contact in human history.

"Mera, can you contact Earth's expert advisory group? We need their immediate guidance." Lin Feng turned to Mera, who quickly operated the communication equipment to contact Earth.

"Earth, this is the 'Star Explorer'. We have discovered possible signs of intelligent life. Please prepare a team of experts immediately. We need your professional advice." Mera's calm voice was transmitted to the distant blue planet through radio waves.

While waiting for a reply, everyone in the control room gathered together unconsciously and whispered to each other. The air was filled with a mixture of tension and excitement.

"This is incredible. We may be the first group of people in human history to come into contact with extraterrestrial civilization." A young scientist murmured to himself, while his partner patted him on the back to show encouragement.

"The Earth has responded, and a team of experts is waiting online, ready to provide us with support at any time." Mela's report interrupted the whispers in the control room. Everyone immediately returned to their positions and devoted their full attention to the next preparations.

The landing craft landed smoothly on the target planet. The team led by Xiaojie wore special protective equipment and carefully stepped onto the unknown land. With their every step, the control room shared the novelty and uneasiness through the real-time transmission of the picture.

"Captain, there are buildings here... They look like the remains of an abandoned city." Xiao Jie's voice trembled slightly and was transmitted back to the control room through the communicator, causing a burst of exclamations.

"Confirm whether there are direct signs of life. We need to proceed cautiously." Lin Feng ordered. Although he was not at the scene, he could still feel the tension and excitement of exploring the unknown world.

As Xiaojie's team explored further, the people in the control room seemed to be experiencing it firsthand, witnessing through their own eyes the remains of an ancient civilization and miracles that could not be explained by existing science. Every exclamation and every doubt was a challenge to the limits of human cognition.

"Captain, we found some kind of device that seems to be working. It...it emitted a beam of light directly at us!" Before Xiao Jie finished his words, chaos broke out among the crowd in the control room.

"Stay calm, follow the plan, and don't touch anything until we know more." Lin Feng's voice was unquestionable firmness, and he tried to calm everyone's emotions.

  Just as everyone was staring at the screen, anticipating the next move of Xiaojie's team, a warm and peaceful thought suddenly sounded in everyone's heart, like a whisper from the depths of the universe:

“Welcome, friends from afar. Your courage and thirst for knowledge are the melody we have long missed. Let us uncover the mysteries of the universe and weave new stories together.”

At that moment, the control room was completely silent, and everyone was immersed in the inexplicable shock and emotion. Lin Feng slowly spoke, an announcement to the unknown existence and to all the crew members:

"Thank you for your hospitality. We come in peace, eager to learn and to understand. May this encounter be the beginning of a friendship between the two worlds."

"What a wonderful answer, Captain Lin." The warm thought echoed again, accompanied by an inexplicable joy. "Please follow the guidance of the light beam. There are gifts we have prepared for you. It is a reward for your brave exploration."

Xiaojie and his teammates exchanged shocked and curious looks, then walked carefully in the direction of the light beam, and finally came to an ancient structure that looked like an altar. In the center of the structure, a dazzling crystal lay quietly, emitting gentle yet powerful energy fluctuations.

"This...is this the gift for us?" Xiaojie's voice was mixed with awe.

"It looks like it, Xiaojie. But before we touch it, we have to ensure safety." Lin Feng reminded through the communicator, and at the same time contacted Meila, "Mela, immediately conduct a remote scan to confirm the nature of this crystal."

In the control room, Meera quickly moved, and the sound of high-tech equipment running came one after another. "Captain, preliminary analysis shows that this crystal not only contains unknown energy forms, but also seems to contain a huge amount of information, like an information library." Meera's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Information database?" Zhou Lili repeated, her eyes lighting up. "Could it be the history, technology, or even the understanding of the universe of that civilization?"

"It's possible, Lily. But the deeper content requires us to study it ourselves." Lin Feng responded, and then turned to Xiao Jie, "Xiao Jie, follow the safety procedures to retrieve the crystal and bring it back to the spaceship."

Xiaojie and his teammates completed the task carefully. The crystal was safely placed in a special isolation box and slowly lifted off to return to the Star Explorer. Throughout the process, the warm thoughts always accompanied them, as if silently blessing them.

As soon as the crystal returned to the spacecraft, the research team could not wait to start the analysis work, and the control room was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. As time passed, shocking pictures gradually appeared on the screen: the development process of alien civilization, the understanding of the universe, and even the technological principles beyond imagination.

"This... This is the design drawing of the jump engine! It's centuries ahead of our current technology!" an engineer shouted excitedly, and his colleagues around him cast shocked and envious glances at him.

"It seems that there really are civilizations in the universe that are more advanced than ours." Zhou Lili sighed, her eyes filled with infinite longing for the future.

“More importantly, they are willing to share.” Lin Feng continued, his tone full of gratitude and deep thought, “This is not just a gift, but also an invitation, an invitation for us to join the broader cosmic civilization.”

"Captain, you are right." Meera nodded, "We should consider how to respond to this invitation and what we can bring to the universe." (End of this chapter)
