The cold light screen in the main control room reflected everyone's faces. Lin Yu stood in the center with his fingertips hovering over the interface.

Pegana's star map is slowly rotating.

The pale blue outline of the planet marks the speculated area of ​​the "original anchor point of the star orbit" mentioned in Akivalli's journal.

Attached to it are scanned copies of a few lines of beautiful handwriting, which were Achievelli's handwriting at the time.

He could feel everyone's eyes on him, a mixture of curiosity, vigilance, and anticipation. His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously as he added, "Silver Wolf was very careful when they cracked the system. They didn't touch the train's core defenses. They only read the log fragments from the backup library, which didn't affect the train."

Ji Zi leaned against the wall, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips, and her eyes moved away from the diary fragment and fell on Lin Yu's tense profile.

Of course she noticed that Lin Yu didn't mention the matter of cracking the log in advance.

As the train's pilot, she should have been the first to know about such things.

But looking at Achievelli's handwriting on the screen, and thinking about how he had been guarding the Star Train for so long and had never discovered such a secret hidden in the backup library, the curiosity in his tone overwhelmed the concern.

"Akivelli's Anchor Point... I've been studying trains for so long, and I've only heard of the 'Star Track Primordial Anchor Point' in legends. It's said to stabilize coordinates for interdimensional navigation. Are you sure this anchor point can help you break through and pioneer your destiny?"

"The journal says 'The resonance of pioneering destiny requires an anchor point to guide it.' The pioneering energy in my body has always been scattered, without the core imprint of destiny. Perhaps in Pegana, I can find the key to resonance through the anchor point."

As Lin Yu spoke, he mobilized a trace of pioneering energy, and pale golden light particles floated in his palm, but quickly dissipated.

"Furthermore, the train's core power is connected to its mission of pioneering. The anchor point may be able to solve the mystery of the train's memory corruption and find more of Achievelli's remaining information."

Pam huddled beside Walter, her furry ears drooping, staring at Lin Yu warily.

"But... suddenly hacking into the train's backup library is like someone sneaking into my room and rummaging through things! Who knows if they'll accidentally damage the train's system? And Pegana is an unexplored planet for us. What if there's danger? We encountered that kind of thing last time we went to Black Rock City. What if we encounter an enemy stronger than Guiji this time..."

Walter patted Pam's shoulder gently, pushed up his glasses, and looked at the risk marked area on the star map.

"Pam's concerns are justified. The risks of unexplored planets are uncontrollable. Danheng, prepare the surface detectors and focus on detecting atmospheric composition, geological stability, and energy anomalies. Send out drones for reconnaissance before landing."

"Okay." Dan Heng nodded, turned and walked towards the equipment warehouse. He paused when passing by the screen, and pointed his finger at the Arctic Circle area of ​​Pegana.

“The star map shows that the temperature difference between day and night here is more than 50 degrees Celsius, and it will drop below -30 degrees Celsius at night. We need to prepare cold-weather gear.

In addition, according to the database fragments synchronized by Silver Wolf, the energy fluctuations of Pegana's earth veins are abnormally active, and there may be natural energy cracks. Be careful to avoid them during detection."

Lin Yu looked at Pam's still tense expression, knowing that he had to dispel his concerns, and said in a slow tone, "Pam, the current fuel is enough for the train to detour to Pegana and then return to the original route."

"We will also help you monitor the train system throughout the entire journey. If there is any abnormality, we will immediately suspend operations to prevent the train from being in danger."

"Really?" Pam looked up. "Then...if we encounter danger, we must retreat immediately! I don't want the train to become space junk!"

"Sure." Lin Yu nodded with a smile, and saw the communicator flashing in his peripheral vision. It was a message from Silver Wolf.

When I clicked on it, I saw supplementary information about Pegana.

There are several areas marked with suspected ancient civilization ruins, and a line of small words.

"The log mentioned that 'pure energy is needed to resonate with the earth's veins.' Cerydra's energy might be able to help."

He looked up at Cerydra and Hetheon who had just returned from the main control room.

Cerydra noticed everyone's gazes. "I just heard about Pegana in the corridor. I can sense the special energy flow. Once I get there, I can help you locate the approximate location of the anchor point."

Heiseyin nodded. "If we encounter a sudden battle, Dela and I can take charge of the alert. You two can focus on detecting the anchor point. When we dealt with Guiji before, our energy has adapted to the cosmic environment and won't be a burden again."

Ji Zi watched as everyone gradually reached a consensus, stood up and clapped her hands, "Since everyone has no objection, let's proceed according to the plan.

"Lin Yu, you and Silver Wolf will compile the anchor point information in the log into a detailed report. Walter will be responsible for adjusting the defense and route. Dan Heng will prepare the detection equipment and cold-weather gear. Pam...you will be responsible for inspecting the train to ensure there are no problems."

"Okay!" Pam immediately stood up straight and her ears finally perked up.

Having something to do made it temporarily forget its previous vigilance.

The cold light screen in the main control room reflected everyone's expression clearly. Lin Yu's fingertips hovered over the virtual interface, and Pegana's star map was rotating at a slow speed.

Around the edge of the pale blue planet's outline were a few simulated energies from the earth's veins, which were the approximate directions deduced by Silver Wolf based on the log fragments.

The speculated area of ​​the "original anchor point of the star track" is marked with a striking golden spot. Attached next to it is a scan of Akivalli's handwriting. The handwriting is so elegant that it seems to have traveled through time and space. You can even see the tiny scratches left by the pen tip as it passed across the paper.

When he mobilized the pioneering energy, he could clearly feel the energy at the moment when the light particles floated in his palm.

Like a rootless duckweed, it can clearly sense the faint resonance between it and the train, but it can never grasp the key clue that can condense into "destiny".

When the light particles dissipated, a slight numbness remained on his fingertips, which made him more determined to go to Pegana.

"I tried to sort out some things in the Imaginary Number Tree before, but I found nothing."

"The log says that anchor points can 'guide the way.' Perhaps once we reach Pegana, the ley lines of energy can help me 'twist' these scattered energies into one."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zi walked to the front of the screen, pointed her finger at Akivelli's handwriting, and her eyes were full of inquiry.

"I've searched the train's history database and only found a snippet of 'Achieveri departed from Pegana,' but never a single mention of an anchor point."

"The backup repository is hidden so deeply, maybe it was left there intentionally by Achievelli, fearing that the anchor information would fall into the wrong hands."

She turned to look at Lin Yu, her tone a little more serious, "When we get to Pegana, we must be careful when detecting, and don't easily touch the unknown energy mechanism."

Pam also came back at this time, came to the front of the screen and pointed at the Arctic Circle area of ​​​​Pegana.

"It's so cold here, will the train freeze? What if it freezes?"

Hearing this, Walter pushed his glasses again and said, “I will help you adjust the cold resistance threshold of the train to the highest level, and the train will be wrapped with three layers of insulation.”

"Also, I've added three emergency stops to the route so we can avoid danger in time if we encounter energy turbulence."

As he was speaking, the communicator suddenly rang, and Silver Wolf's voice came over with a bit of excitement.

"Lin Yu! I've cracked another log! I found out that in the ruins of the ancient civilization of Pegana, there might be an energy guidance device left by Achieveri. The detector can focus on scanning this frequency band!"

Dan Heng came back at this time with a silver detector and placed it on the main console.

"The surface detector has been debugged and can simultaneously detect atmospheric composition, geological density and energy fluctuations."

"I have also prepared three drones, each equipped with a cold-resistant camera. They will fly around before landing and transmit images of key areas."

He paused and called up the detector's parameter interface. "Also, I've added a 'shielding' function to the detector. This will protect the data from being lost in the event of strong energy interference."

Lin Yu looked at the busy figures of the people and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He took out his communicator. "Silver Wolf, in the anchor point data you compiled, did you mention any special conditions required to activate the anchor point? For example, a specific time or energy frequency?"

"I haven't found it yet, but the log says, 'When the star tracks and the earth veins are in sync, the anchor point will appear.'" Silver Wolf's voice was filled with the crisp sound of keyboard tapping. "I suspect it has something to do with Pegana's rotation cycle. For example, when day and night change, the earth vein energy reaches a peak, and this is when the anchor point is most easily detected."

"Okay, I'll take note." Lin Yu turned to everyone and said, "We will set sail early tomorrow morning. Everyone should prepare your things today and have a good rest tonight. Get enough rest."

When Pam heard the word "rest," her eyes lit up. "I'll check it out right now! And get me a warm pack!"

Looking at Pam's back, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Ji Zi patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "Don't be too nervous. With us here, nothing will go wrong. You should also rest early. You can't take everything on yourself."

Lin Yu nodded and his eyes fell back on the Pegana star map on the screen.

The pale blue planet rotates slowly in the dark sea of ​​stars, like a gem waiting to be explored.

He could feel the pioneering energy in his body pulsating slightly with his anticipation for Pegana.

It was a throbbing feeling of "yearning", as if urging him to quickly set foot on this land carrying the legend of pioneering.

That night, lights were on in every compartment of the train.

Dan Heng was checking the drone's cold resistance in the equipment compartment, while Ji Zi was sorting out emergency supplies on the train.

Pam was putting a hot pack on herself, while Lin Yu and Silver Wolf were checking the anchor point information one by one, piecing together the fragmented information in Akivelli's log into a complete exploration plan.

The next morning, the engine of the Star Train emitted a low and powerful roar, and light blue flames spewed out from the thrusters. It jumped out of the current star field and headed towards Pegana.

In the main control room, everyone was looking at the route map on the screen, their eyes full of anticipation and caution.

Lin Yu stood by the window, looking at the stars outside the window that were rapidly retreating, his fingertips gently stroking the star core seal on his wrist.

The two star cores quietly emit warmth, forming a subtle resonance with the pioneering energy within the body.

The journey to Pegana may not be smooth sailing, but with the companions around him and the clues left by Akivalli, he will definitely find the original anchor point of the star track, break through the bottleneck of development, and solve the mystery of the origin of the train.

"Pegana, we are here." Lin Yu said softly, looking firmly at the sea of ​​stars in the distance.

The train, carrying expectations and determination, heads towards the planet that carries the legend of pioneering in the vast universe.
