In the days that followed, Yang Hao and his group outwardly cooperated with the supervision of the alien race while secretly searching for opportunities to repair the Ark and find a way to leave. Lin Xiao delved into the connection between the alien relics and the planet's technology day and night and finally made a significant discovery.
One late night, Lin Xiao excitedly called Yang Hao and Li Qiang over, whispering, "I've found that this planet's core energy system has a peculiar resonance with the alien relics. Maybe we can utilize this to not only repair the Ark but also greatly enhance its performance!" A glint of excitement flashed in Yang Hao's eyes. "Really? That's great news. But we must proceed cautiously and not be discovered by the alien race."
However, their actions did arouse suspicion from the alien race. One day, a group of alien soldiers suddenly burst into their residence, surrounding them. The leading officer said coldly, "You've been up to something behind our backs. What are your intentions?" Yang Hao calmly replied, "We just want to better understand this planet's technology. We have no malicious intent."
The officer didn't believe him and ordered a search. Just as the soldiers were about to discover Lin Xiao's research data, Li Qiang suddenly attacked, knocking down several soldiers. Seeing this, Yang Hao joined the fight. Both sides were instantly embroiled in a melee. Lin Xiao took the opportunity to hide the data and then joined the battle to assist Yang Hao and Li Qiang. But with the alien soldiers outnumbering them, they gradually found themselves in a desperate situation.
Just as they were about to be overwhelmed, a mysterious force suddenly appeared and repelled the alien soldiers. Yang Hao and the others looked on in surprise as a shadowy alien creature slowly materialized. This alien creature was unlike any they had seen before; it was surrounded by a soft glow, and its eyes exuded friendliness.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to help you," the mysterious alien creature spoke, its voice directly resonating in their minds. "I know your purpose and the importance of the alien relics you've brought. The leaders of this planet have been blinded by the shadows of past invasions. They don't understand that there are many mysteries in the universe worth exploring together, rather than blindly guarding against all outsiders."
The mysterious alien creature told them that this planet had once suffered a devastating alien invasion, nearly leading to its destruction. Since then, the leaders had established a powerful defense system and were hostile to all outsiders. However, there were also alien creatures like it who yearned to communicate with the outside world and explore the vast universe.
"I can help you repair the Ark and even provide some of our planet's advanced technology, but you must promise me that after leaving, you will spread a message of peace throughout the universe, encouraging more races to abandon war and prejudice," the mysterious alien creature said. Without hesitation, Yang Hao and the others agreed.
With the help of the mysterious alien creature, Yang Hao and the others began to secretly repair the Ark. They established a connection between the alien relics and the planet's core energy system, utilizing the energy generated by the resonance to not only repair the Ark's power system and energy shield but also upgrade and modify the Ark. Li Qiang looked at the brand-new Ark and exclaimed excitedly, "Great! We finally have the capability to continue our escape journey!"
However, just as they were preparing to leave, the planet's leaders discovered their plan. A large number of alien soldiers once again surrounded the Ark, and a major battle seemed imminent.
