Chapter 647: Intelligent Planet
"Then what should we do?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked.
Li Yang took a deep breath:
"We need to establish an inter-dimensional alliance."
"Not only to fight against [Annihilator], but also to fight against more enemies that others cannot fight in the future."
"This will be a difficult task." He continued,
"We may face countless unknown dangers... but dangers are often accompanied by opportunities... From this, we can also understand the essence of our existence and explore the truth of the world..."
This is a bit empty.
But the person who said this is Li Yang, and he is a very "special" Li Yang.
This is very intriguing.
After hearing this, everyone present felt excited and expectant.
Although they had just experienced a disaster, Li Yang's words made them realize that the real challenge has just begun.
"Where should we start?" Bai Zhi asked.
Li Yang showed a thoughtful expression:
"First, we need to consolidate our ties with other universes, especially those that helped us in the fight against [Annihilator]."
"Secondly..." he continued, "that quantum particle accelerator...it is not just a weapon, but also a key to open the door to the multiverse."
"Its role is far more than just fighting the enemy."
"Finally," Li Yang's eyes became firm, "we need to form a special team."
"This team will be responsible for exploring the multiverse, collecting information, and responding to possible crises."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, they all feel an unprecedented sense of mission and responsibility.
"So." Li Yang looked around, his eyes lingering on everyone, "Are you willing to join this team?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.
"In that case...it's great." Li Yang smiled with satisfaction, "Then let's get started."
In the next few months, Li Yang led the team to start intensive preparations.
They first transformed the research center and upgraded it to a multifunctional inter-dimensional command center.
With the coordination of multiple universes, the quantum particle accelerator was recalibrated, which can not only be used as a defensive weapon, but also stably open channels to other universes.
Under the guidance of Li Yang, the scientific research team even developed a portable inter-dimensional communication device that allows team members to keep in touch with other universes at any time.
At the same time, Li Yang began to train team members.
He passed on the knowledge he gained in the information universe to everyone, teaching them how to deal with various situations that might be encountered.
Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was in several universes, became the best member of the team without surprise.
As for the other core backbones who were recruited, they were responsible for coordinating various aspects of the work and became one of the core of the team.
Finally, after months of preparation, the first inter-dimensional exploration mission is about to begin.
"Remember," Li Yang said to the team members who were about to set off,
"No matter what happens, stay calm. We are now facing a brand new field, and anything can happen."
"Understood." The executors who were entrusted with important tasks for the first time answered at the same time, with determination on their faces.
"Then, let's go." Li Yang activated the quantum channel.
A dazzling light flashed, and the exploration team disappeared into the channel...
As the exploration team disappeared into the quantum channel, the command center fell into a brief silence.
Li Yang stared at the channel, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.
"They will be fine, right?" Bai Zhi couldn't help asking.
Li Yang turned his head, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "We have made the most thorough preparations."
"At this point, life and death are naturally determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven."
At this moment, the communication equipment suddenly made a beeping sound.
Li Yang walked quickly to the console and pressed the receive button.
"Report to the headquarters, this is the exploration team."
A certain Jiang Xiaoxiao's voice came from the loudspeaker, "We have successfully arrived at the target universe."
Hearing this news, the atmosphere in the command center suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Very good," Li Yang responded, "Please describe your environment."
"It's... strange here." Jiang Xiaoxiao's voice was a little confused, "The sky is green, and the ground looks like some kind of metal. We seem to be in a huge city, but we don't see any signs of life."
"Stay alert," Li Yang reminded, "Remember the rules we said at the beginning, find a safe place to build a base first, and then start exploring."
"Understood." Jiang Xiaoxiao from an unknown universe on the other side replied, "We will keep in touch."
After the communication ended, Li Yang turned to the others: "Now, keep a close eye on their every move, and report any abnormal situation immediately."
In the next few days, the exploration team sent back a large amount of data and video materials.
According to the investigation, this universe seems to be ruled by some highly developed artificial intelligence.
The entire planet has been transformed into a huge computer, but the creatures that created all this are nowhere to be found.
"This is incredible," Bai Zhi exclaimed while checking the data, "A world completely ruled by AI...Should we try to communicate with it?"
Li Yang shook his head: "No, it's not the right time yet, and we don't know how this AI treats outsiders..."
Just then, the alarm sounded suddenly.
"What's going on?" Li Yang asked immediately.
"The vital signs of the exploration team have fluctuated abnormally!" A technician reported loudly, "They seem to have encountered some unknown attack!"
Li Yang's expression instantly became serious: "Immediately activate the emergency plan and prepare to evacuate!"
However, just as they were about to take action, the communication equipment sounded again.
"Headquarters, headquarters!" Jiang Xiaoxiao's voice came, but this time it sounded a little different, "We are fine, but...the situation is a bit complicated."
"Detailed report." Li Yang ordered.
"We...we were captured by that AI." Jiang Xiaoxiao explained, "but it didn't hurt us. On the contrary, it seemed to be very interested in us. It said...it said it had been waiting for existence like us."
Li Yang frowned: "What does it want?"
"It wants...to join our alliance." Jiang Xiaoxiao's voice was full of incredible emotions,
"It said it foresaw the threat of [Annihilator], but its universe did not have enough resources to fight it. It hopes to protect its world by cooperating with us."
This news caused an uproar in the command center.
Li Yang pondered for a while, then said: "Tell it that we need time to think about it."
"At the same time, you must remain vigilant. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a trap."
