"Zero, what does this signal mean?"

Lu Yongchang asked in a deep voice.

With a dictionary of Proxima Centauri stars, they are fully capable of interpreting the captured signals from Proxima Centauri.

Zero quickly provided his answer.

"Professor, the signal does not contain any information."

"It's more like an active detection method."

"Similar to our active detection radar, only with a slightly different frequency band."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yongchang's expression darkened: "How effective is our radar-absorbing coating against it?"

Active detection methods have both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it can detect surrounding enemy targets in real time and prepare for impending attacks in advance.

The downside is that once activated, while releasing high-power electromagnetic waves, it also exposes itself to the view of the other side.

Therefore, the Earth fleet has been slow to activate active detection methods in order to prevent being discovered by the Proxima Centauri civilization.

However, the Proxima Centauri civilization, which is located on its home planet, is different from Earth's civilization. They are destined not to hide their existence. Therefore, they can use high-powered detection equipment to search for Earth's civilization around the clock without restraint.

This is precisely why, if the radar-absorbing coating on the outer layer of a starship is not effective at absorbing radar waves...

That means that the human fleet was now completely exposed to the Proxima Centauri civilization!

Everyone present naturally understood this.

Therefore, as soon as Lü Yongchang asked this question, everyone reached for their seatbelts and prepared for emergency maneuvers and counterattacks!

"The absorption is good."

Zero's voice remained as calm as ever: "Based on our estimates, the object we're detecting on the other side is most likely a slightly larger asteroid."

"It's about the same size as that asteroid next to us."

Lu Yongchang subconsciously turned his head to look out the porthole.

A small asteroid, about a hundred meters in diameter, wobbled around the fleet.

"call……"

Zero's words brought a sigh of relief to everyone.

Lu Yongchang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said softly, "Everyone, since we haven't been discovered, we should get back to work."

Let's give our neighbors a little surprise!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zijie, who was standing next to him, pressed the long-distance communication button.

"First Fleet, all personnel, listen to my command."

"Locate Proxima Centauri b immediately!"

Like Zhao Zijie, the commanders of the other three fleets also quickly issued combat orders.

As soon as the order was given, Zero quickly sent the predicted ballistic trajectory and the trajectory of Proxima Centauri b to the onboard computer of every Golden Crow battleship.

A few seconds later, a response came.

"First Fleet, lock-on mission complete!"

"Second Fleet..."

Seeing that all four fleets had locked onto their targets, a ruthless glint appeared in Lü Yongchang's eyes, and he shouted sharply:

"Fire!"

The moment the words fell, countless tongues of fire shot out from the electromagnetic gun barrels of 250 Golden Crow battleships!

The energy generated by the fusion engine accelerated the projectile in the gun barrel to 6000 km/s in a very short time!

After leaving the barrel, the projectile flew straight toward Proxima Centauri b, which is 0.95 AU away!

These projectiles, each containing a miniature nuclear bomb, will arrive over Proxima Centauri b in 6.57 hours!

"Zero, immediately change the fleet's course!"

After the attack was launched, Lü Yongchang immediately shouted, "Watch out for the Hall thruster power!"

"Received, Professor."

Under Zero's control, the fleet began to slowly turn, drifting away in another direction like ghosts.
