After repelling the mysterious fleet, although the Ark was temporarily safe, it was also left in a battered state. Inside the cabin, emergency lights flickered, alarm sounds intermittently blared, and a pungent smell of burnt odor permeated the air. Yang Hao, forcing himself to stay upright despite his exhaustion, directed everyone to repair the Ark. Li Qiang led a team of crew members, shouldering tools as they rushed between various damaged areas, their shirts drenched in sweat, yet not daring to pause for a moment. Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was in the control center, intently staring at the constantly fluctuating data on the screen, furrowing her brow as she tried to analyze a deeper connection between the alien relic and the Ark's energy system to find a way to repair the energy core.
"Report, the engine propulsion system is severely damaged. Currently, the power output can only maintain sub-light speed cruising. A hyperspace jump is almost impossible!" a crew member reported anxiously. Yang Hao's face darkened. Hyperspace jumping was the key to them breaking free from their predicament and quickly reaching a habitable planet. Now, with power limitations, their plan was thwarted.
At that moment, the Ark's energy monitoring system suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. Lin Xiao quickly checked it and her face paled. "Not good. The attack from the mysterious fleet caused the energy shield to overload, and the core energy is becoming unstable. If we can't stabilize the energy in time, the Ark could undergo a chain reaction explosion in a few minutes!"
Yang Hao was extremely anxious and immediately ordered, "Everyone, stop your current work and focus on stabilizing the energy core! Lin Xiao, come with me. Let's try to use the energy from the alien relic to balance the core energy." Everyone sprang into action, but the fluctuations in the energy core grew more and more intense, like a bomb about to detonate.
Yang Hao concentrated his mind and, through the spiritual connection he had established with the alien relic, guided its energy into the energy core. The energy surged through the pipes, flickering with light, but the unstable state of the core did not subside. Li Qiang, sweating profusely, shouted while operating the equipment, "This isn't working. The energy is too violent!"
Just as everyone was on the verge of despair, Yang Hao suddenly remembered some technical fragments that had flashed through his mind during his connection with the alien relic. Taking a deep breath, he quickly adjusted the method of energy injection, dividing the energy from the alien relic into multiple streams and slowly injecting them into the energy core.
As the energy was steadily injected, the fluctuations in the core gradually decreased, and the alarm sounds gradually ceased. Everyone let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, a sense of joy at having survived the ordeal welling up in their hearts. But Yang Hao knew that this was just a temporary respite. The Ark's predicament was still dire, and they must quickly find new energy supplies and a safe place to land.
