Chapter 9: The Mysterious Radio Wave

Kyle piloted the battered spaceship, fleeing desperately in the vast universe. The spaceship's outer shell was covered with the marks of battles, with pits and charred patches intertwined, like a warrior full of scars. Having just escaped from the life - and - death crisis in the meteorite belt, Kyle was physically exhausted, but his eyes still held a firm resolve. He stared fixedly ahead of the spaceship, as if trying to see through the endless darkness and find his way out.

Inside the spaceship, the alarm sirens blared continuously, sharp and urgent, as if constantly urging Kyle and reminding him that danger was never truly far away. Kyle rubbed his throbbing temple with one hand while skillfully operating the dashboard with the other, trying to stabilize the spaceship. At that moment, the communication device suddenly emitted a harsh "hiss", like the groan of an old - fashioned machine on the verge of collapse.

Kyle was startled by the unexpected sound. He frowned in confusion and turned to look at the communication screen. On the screen, the originally normal signal interface was now filled with a jumble of disorderly radio signals, flickering non - stop, as if telling some unknown secret. "What on earth is this?" Kyle muttered to himself. A sense of unease welled up in his heart. In this difficult time of being hunted by the Interstellar Federation, any accident could be a deadly trap. His hand unconsciously hovered above the operation button of the communication device, hesitating whether to answer this mysterious radio wave. "Maybe it's a trap set by the Federation, just waiting for me to fall into it." Kyle bit his lip, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. But curiosity, like an invisible hand, tightly gripped his heart. "What if it's important information related to the stardust? I've come so far on the road of exploring the secrets of the stardust. I can't let go of any opportunity." Thinking of this, Kyle took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and slowly pressed the answer button.

A faint and unclear voice came from the other end of the radio wave, like someone whispering from a distant time and space, or like an ancient incantation scattered by the wind, faint and intermittent. Kyle furrowed his brows and listened intently, trying to distinguish useful information from the chaotic sounds. He continuously adjusted the frequency of the communication device, his fingers quickly tapping on the operation panel, and his eyes fixed on the screen without blinking. As he adjusted, the sounds in the radio wave gradually became clearer. "Stardust... the source of power... the ancient mission..." These words reached Kyle's ears intermittently, and each word was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in his heart.

"The source of the stardust's power? The ancient mission? What does this mean?" Kyle couldn't help but talk to himself. The doubts in his heart grew like a snowball. His eyes were filled with curiosity and eagerness, as if he saw a door leading to the core of the stardust's secrets slowly opening. "Could it be that the answers I've been searching for are hidden behind this radio wave?" Kyle's heart rate involuntarily quickened, and a sense of excitement welled up in him. Since awakening the stardust power, he had been groping in the dark, with very little knowledge about this mysterious power. And this mysterious radio wave seemed to light a lamp for him.

Kyle began to search frantically in the spaceship's database for information related to these keywords. Although the spaceship's database was not large, it was an important source of knowledge for him at present. His fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and his eyes were fixed on the scrolling data on the screen, not missing any potentially useful clues. Among a pile of obscure materials, he found some records about ancient civilizations and mysterious energies. These records mentioned that in the remote corners of the universe, there were some forgotten ruins, the remnants of ancient civilizations. It was said that they contained the key to controlling mysterious energies. Kyle's eyes lit up, and a strong premonition welled up in his heart: "Could these ruins be related to the stardust? Is the secret mentioned in the radio wave hidden in those ruins?"

"If that's really the case, then I must find those ruins!" Kyle clenched his fists, his eyes shining with determination. But soon, his eyes dimmed, and a hint of worry crept into his heart. "However, it's not easy to find the ruins. The universe is so vast, and those ruins are hidden in dangerous places. How can I find them? Moreover, the Interstellar Federation is still chasing closely behind. They surely won't miss the opportunity to unlock the secrets of the stardust. If they find the ruins first, the consequences will be disastrous." Kyle's brows furrowed again, and he was caught in a tangle and struggle. On one hand, there was a strong desire for the secrets of the stardust, and on the other hand, there were numerous difficulties and dangers in reality. He didn't know if he had enough ability to face all of this.

"No, I can't give up!" Kyle gritted his teeth, and his fighting spirit was reignited. "Since the moment I awakened the stardust power, my fate has changed. I can no longer live an ordinary life on Planet Tar as before. I have to face all of this bravely. Even if there is an abyss ahead, I will take a risk!" Kyle took a deep breath and cheer up. He decided to follow the clues of the radio wave and embark on the journey to find the mysterious ruins.

On the flagship of the Interstellar Federation, Rain stood in front of the command console with a face full of anger. His hands were tightly clenched, his knuckles turning white from the force. He stared fixedly at the tracking screen, as if he could pull Kyle's spaceship out of the universe with his eyes. "That kid managed to escape again!" Rain roared angrily. His voice echoed in the command cabin, filled with uncontrollable rage. "Keep increasing the search intensity. Even if we have to turn this universe upside down, we must find him!" He turned to look at the adjutant beside him, his eyes exuding an unyielding authority.

The adjutant nodded cautiously and said, "Yes, sir. However, Kyle always seems to find ways to get rid of us. Moreover, he is becoming more and more proficient in using the stardust power. We need to be careful." Rain snorted disdainfully and said, "No matter what tricks he has, I won't let him escape. The stardust power must not fall into the hands of someone like him. It would be a huge threat to the entire universe." A fierce glint flashed in Rain's eyes. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would catch Kyle and bring the stardust power back to the Interstellar Federation.

At this time, Kyle was completely unaware that the Interstellar Federation's pursuit of him was still in full swing. Immersed in the exploration of the stardust's secrets, he piloted the spaceship firmly in the direction indicated by the radio wave. He knew that countless unknown dangers and challenges awaited him ahead, but his heart was filled with hope because he seemed to be one step closer to the secrets of the stardust. The spaceship flew slowly in the universe, carrying Kyle's dreams and determination towards the mysterious unknown. And the Interstellar Federation's fleet was constantly searching for his trail in the vast universe. A contest related to the secrets of the stardust and the fate of the universe was quietly unfolding...
