"Whether they are highly intelligent life forms is still inconclusive." Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and said after calming himself down, "At least, their level of intelligence is not low."

"Let's do a test first."

"Zero, throw the last bait out, as far as possible!"

...

Surrounded by four giant deep-sea fish, the side hatch of the exploration vessel slowly opened, and a mechanical arm emerged from it.

Then, the robotic arm swung forcefully.

The bait was thrown out.

Time passed second by second.

"Activate the decoy."

Just as the decoy was about to leave the controlled area, Lü Yongchang gave the order.

"Smack!"

The decoy's hatch opened rapidly, and large amounts of cesium chloride and rubidium chloride gushed out.

A few minutes later, one of the giant deep-sea fish detected the presence of cesium chloride and rubidium chloride.

It instinctively swayed its body and swam towards the bait.

The encirclement has developed a loophole.

But the next second, a powerful ultrasonic wave came from the first giant fish!

The giant deep-sea fish that had just left the encirclement stopped moving.

“It’s urging its companions on,” Mao Zhengzhi said softly. “The first giant fish seems to be their leader.”

Seeing that the giant fish that had left had not returned, even more intense and powerful ultrasonic waves were emitted.

Faced with increasingly urgent urging, the giant fish that had left the formation slowly returned to its position.

“Their level of intelligence is not high,” Lü Yongchang concluded. “They cannot be considered truly intelligent beings.”

"That leader must be one of the best, which is why it has mastered basic deception techniques."
