Unveiling Secrets Hidden for Countless Ages

"."

Hearing Sui Meng's question, Halsey said nothing more and merely turned her gaze toward Cortana beside her.

A simple exchange of glances conveyed every necessary instruction.

Cortana's blue holographic projection gave a slight nod, then immediately refocused her attention on the enormous holographic star map at the center of the control room.

Her hands danced elegantly through the air, like an invisible conductor of exceptional skill commanding a vast symphony composed of immense quantities of monitoring data.

Countless faintly glowing streams of information swirled around her, intertwining, filtering, and comparing themselves into a dazzling waterfall of data.

At the same time, her voice rang through the control room, providing synchronized explanations with each step of her operation to ensure that everyone present could understand the reasoning behind the complex analysis:

"Prioritizing the retrieval of all recorded data streams within the effective coverage range of the pulse wave.

"Filter parameters set: focus on natural energy fluctuation peaks from non-background radiation sources, anomalous gravitational disturbance signals, microscopic spatial folds beyond known physical models, and any residual information radiation bearing the characteristics of an intelligent civilization."

Her operating speed exceeded ordinary comprehension. Information across the star map shifted like a surging tide, constellation lines brightening and dimming in turns, while points of light representing different energy levels and signal types flickered like fireflies on a summer night.

"Preliminary wide-area screening complete. Based on analyses of anomalous signal intensity, duration, and spatial distribution patterns, seventeen high-value star system coordinates have been marked, each potentially containing advanced civilization ruins or persistent anomalous energy residues."

As she spoke, she highlighted several coordinates with the most prominent signal signatures in striking blue. She then swiftly retrieved related encrypted classified files that had been cracked from the core databases of the Earth Federation and the Church of
