Deep Space Scavenging, Hand Over Alien Warships at the Beginning

In his mind, the system interface’s energy reserves were climbing upward from a negative number at a slow but steady pace.

【-500 / 200】

【-100 / 200】

【0 / 200】

【50 / 200】

The moment the energy reserve turned from negative to positive, Lin Yuan felt his entire ”soul” jolt, and his connection to his body was instantly restored!

”Cough! Cough, cough!”

On the connection chair, Lin Yuan, who had been in a state of death, suddenly coughed violently and snapped his eyes open.

He gasped for air, like a drowning person who had finally taken their first breath of fresh air.

”He’s alive! He’s come back to life!”

”Heartbeat restored! Blood pressure returned to normal!”

”Brainwave activity is recovering rapidly!”

In the Command Center, an earth-shattering cheer erupted.

Everyone excitedly hugged each other, and many young researchers even wept with joy.

Watching the normal vital sign curves on the big screen, Chen Weiguo and Academician Wang’s legs went weak, and they both collapsed onto the floor.

Those few short minutes just now had been more thrilling than anything they had experienced in their entire lives.

”Quick... quickly help Comrade Lin Yuan down!” Academician Wang gasped, shouting to the medical personnel.

Lin Yuan was helped down from the chair by several doctors. His body was still very weak and soaked in cold sweat, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

He looked around, seeing the scientists flushed with excitement, and Chen Weiguo and Academician Wang sitting on the floor, and he grinned, revealing a pale smile.

”Chief, Academician Wang... I... I’m back.”

His voice was hoarse but full of strength.

Academician Wang struggled to stand up, walked quickly to him, grabbed his hand, and was so excited he couldn’t speak.

”It’s good that you’re back... it’s good that you’re back...”

”Comrade Lin Yuan,” Chen Weiguo also walked over. Although his voice remained dignified, it carried an unmaskable tremor. ”How do you feel? Is anything uncomfortable?”

”My head still hurts a little, but it’s much better than last time.” Lin Yuan shook his head, and then his eyes became incredibly intense. ”Chief, Academician Wang, guess... what I brought back?”

Everyone was stunned.

That’s right! What was the result of this salvage mission?

Everyone’s gaze subconsciously turned toward the materialization platform in the center of the connection room.

There, in the center of the platform, lay a palm-sized object, made entirely of blue crystal and resembling a USB drive.

Its surface flowed with a faint radiance, full of a mysterious sense of technology.

Although the drone had suffered a fatal blow at the very last moment of the return trip, this treasure in its possession had been brought back intact!

”The data core! It’s that data core!”

A scientist exclaimed.

Academician Wang’s eyes instantly turned red. He rushed over like a gust of wind, put on the sterile gloves that had been prepared long ago, and carefully, as if holding a sacred object, cradled the data core in his palms.

”We succeeded... we really succeeded...” he muttered to himself, tears streaming down his face.

For this tiny chip, they had almost lost Lin Yuan, and lost the future hope of this country.

But now it seemed that all the risks had been worth it!

Lin Yuan looked at Academician Wang, who was as excited as a child, and leaning on the medical personnel, he said weakly but with immense pride:

”I brought it... the technology tree of the ’Oracle Civilization’... back for you all!”

This sentence, like a bombshell, exploded in the entire Command Center!
