The numbers on the countdown timer decreased slowly, as if with a cold, icy speed, from a tense five minutes down to just a few seconds. The air in the laboratory seemed to freeze, and everyone felt the pressure mounting. The mechanical voice of the auxiliary AI reverberated in the highly enclosed space, like a merciless referee announcing the impending crucial moment.
"Countdown at five minutes, all systems undergo final checks," the AI's voice sliced through the silence of the laboratory like lightning.
Neil walked through an automatic door and entered the Observation deck, a small room filled with a futuristic technological atmosphere. The cabin was packed with highly advanced instruments and observation equipment, and the control panel was adorned with numerous buttons and touchscreens flashing with cold light. His gaze was particularly fixed on a simple yet extremely powerful dark energy generator. This machine was no larger than a small suitcase, but the energy it could release was enough to jeopardize the entire observation mission. Neil carefully examined the data display and confirmed that everything was within the appropriate range.
At the same time, Solya also entered the "cosmic rift" and arrived at the command post in the laboratory. Her gaze swept across the room, finally resting on Macol.
" Macol, how's everything going?" Sylvia inquired, her tone carrying a hint of ease but her gaze extremely serious.
"Very smoothly, Sylvia. Thank you for your concern," Macol responded with a smile, but he was also keenly aware of the weight behind this simple question.
Solia turned her head and looked towards the Observation deck where Neil was. Through the transparent glass wall, she saw Neil inspecting the machines with a serious expression. She made a gesture of encouragement to him, and Neil responded with a smile, as if that moment of warmth was enough to dispel all the unease and worries.
" Macol, I have to ask," Solia's tone became serious, "I heard that this mission was personally assigned to Neil by the President. Is that true?"
Macol paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and answered seriously, "Yes, Solia. This mission is crucial for the entire The Eye of the Philosopher. The President believes that Neil has the potential and qualifications to complete it."
"I hope so," Solia took a deep breath, but exhaled with a mixture of worry and anticipation.
"Counting down one minute, please everyone prepare for the final moments," the AI's voice sounded again.
At this moment, Macol and Solya exchanged a deeply meaningful glance, as if in that instant, all words became superfluous. They each returned to their respective work stations, holding their breath, waiting for what was about to come.
Neil adjusted the final parameter to ensure that all systems were running optimally. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, as if giving himself one last pep talk and encouragement.
When the AI's voice in the observation center announced "thirty-second countdown," a tense atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire room. Macol immediately stood up, looking serious, with a piercing gaze.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to initiate the Multiverse observation mission. Please ensure that all equipment is in optimal condition." Macol spoke with an unquestionable tone, knowing the importance of this mission. She then said to Neil: "Observer, close the Observation deck!"
Neil swallowed hard, staring closely at the various buttons and data on the panel. He quickly pressed a series of control keys, and the heavy steel door of the Observation deck began to emit a buzzing sound as it slowly closed, finally sealing tightly against the outer wall.
"The observation deck is closed and operating normally," Neil's voice carried a hint of tension, but also a resolute determination.
Macol nodded slightly, satisfied, and said, "Next, activate the observation system."
Neil lightly touched a huge touch screen, swiftly entering a series of complex commands. The screen began to display a highly detailed multi-dimensional map, showing various clues and Macol ers of the Multiverse.
"The observation system has been activated, the multi-dimensional map is displaying normally, everything is ready," Neil carefully checked the data and reported after confirming its accuracy.
Macol nodded again and then issued the next command: "Check the dark energy generator."
Neil walked to a small panel embedded in the side wall of the Observation deck. He focused on observing the operation status of the dark energy generator and confirmed that the energy output was maintained at a stable level.
"The dark energy generator is operating normally, and the energy output is stable," he confirmed into the communication device.
"Final step, activate the Multiverse transmission bridge," Macol's tone became more serious, and she knew this was the most crucial step.
Neil stood in front of the control panel, took a deep breath, and determinedly pressed the final green activation button. The lights inside the Observation deck suddenly became brighter, and a powerful energy was released from the dark energy generator, guided towards the target indicated on the multidimensional map - the Multiverse.
"The Multiverse transmission bridge has been activated, awaiting final confirmation," Neil watched the data flow on the screen, and it seemed like his heartbeat stopped for a second.
Macol looked around at the surrounding staff, including Sophia standing on the side, and saw the nervous and expectant expressions on everyone's faces. Finally, she gave the decisive command: "Final confirmation, initiate transmission."
At that moment, the AI finally announced, "Countdown five seconds, four, three, two, one."
A tremor spread throughout the entire Observation deck, and Neil seemed to sense space and time distorting around him. A sense of calm filled his heart as he knew he had successfully crossed over to another Multiverse.
This was not just a new world, but also a new challenge. Neil knew deep down that this mission would not only challenge his understanding of the Multiverse, but also his understanding of himself, of human nature, and of the deepest levels of this world.
A new adventure begins now.
