In an instant, a 3.5-meter-long probe, resembling a water droplet, hurtled toward the passage in space.
At 10% of the speed of light, this distance is only a matter of a few breaths.
"Commander, the droplet has detected that the enemy has deployed a probe! We suspect they are also a technologically advanced civilization!"
The group put away their playful mood. Facing an opponent who was also a technologically advanced civilization, they dared not underestimate them. As developers, they were well aware of the power of technology.
This war is probably the most difficult one yet, it will depend on whose technological prowess is superior and whether they can restrain each other in any area.
"Let the water droplets destroy all the detectors! Make sure the enemy is completely confused!"
The commander immediately issued the order.
"yes!"
As soon as the order was given, the water droplets accelerated to a terrifying speed and crashed into the detectors.
Under the influence of strong interaction forces, the surface of a water droplet is absolutely smooth and hard, allowing it to pass through as easily as a needle piercing tofu.
"Bang!"
A series of firecracker sounds echoed through the universe.
The commander grinned, fascinated by the power of the water droplets. This was true technology!
"Commander, all enemy detectors have been destroyed! Requesting further instructions!"
"Don't rush. The other side will definitely send out more detectors to find out the situation. Let the water droplets lie in ambush, and when they send out more detectors, we'll give them another blow!"
As she expected, Zhuo Yuanming and his team quickly dispatched a large number of detectors to check the situation.
Come and enjoy a fireworks display!
The droplet started up quickly, and one detector after another was destroyed in the blink of an eye. The droplet was like the scythe of death, reaping these detectors.
"Hahaha!"
The commander laughed heartily, and the others were overjoyed as well. This was undoubtedly a case of their technology suppressing the enemy's technology, which was bound to excite them.
"Commander, we estimate that the other side may not have figured out the situation yet."
"Hehe...that's for sure. Our detectors can reach 10% of the speed of light. At most, these detectors can only capture shadows."
"In other words, the other side will use other means to figure out the situation, which is also a great opportunity for us to understand their technological level. The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark; the advantage is on our side!"
Everyone was thrilled, and the commander nodded with a smile.
Before long, a huge instrument was exposed within the detection range of the water droplets.
"What is this? Is there only one?"
Everyone was baffled as they watched the surveillance footage.
"Are you scared?"
Some people speculate that this is easy to deduce, since the other side hasn't figured out their methods yet; the unknown is what's terrifying!
"Just one unit, Commander, should we activate the droplet?"
"Start it up. We can't let their detectors gather too much information about this area."
The commander nodded.
So the water droplet used the same trick again, rushing rapidly toward the instrument.
After approaching within ten meters of the instrument, it disappeared in full view of everyone.
"what happens!"
The commander's eyes widened, and as the water droplets disappeared, they lost their vision, and the screen turned completely white.
"this..."
Everyone frantically fiddled with the various facilities.
"Commander, this is bad! We've lost control of the droplet! We can't detect where it is anymore!"
One person was shocked, and the others were no better off upon hearing this.
"What! The water droplets are gone?!"
The commander's expression was grim: "What exactly happened? Have you figured it out?"
"We...we don't know either..."
Everyone looked bitter, but then they said, "It must be the other side's doing!"
"Nonsense, isn't it still us on the other side? This war is just a fight between two sides. I'm here to make you understand these tactics!"
The commander said angrily.
The water droplet that had played a vital role in other worlds was gone just like that. How could he possibly remain calm? What terrified him most was the method! The method! The unknown is what's truly terrifying!
"There's too little footage to analyze..."
Everyone shook their heads.
"Sigh, send out another Waterdrop."
The commander knew that this was not their fault and could only restart the other droplets. They only had three in total, and now that one was lost, they only had two left.
"But... Commander, if we activate the water droplet again, it will probably be destroyed by the enemy..."
The group hesitated.
"I know, so this is the price we paid for our carelessness. You must remember this well! Our past victories were too easy, which led us to look down on other civilizations and believe that we were the strongest."
Reality has now served as a wake-up call: there are always people more capable than us, and the world is vast beyond our understanding! We cannot afford to be careless in the war of civilizations. This time, we only lost a drop of water; if we dare to be careless again, the entire civilization could face annihilation!
The commander warned.
"Yes! We understand!"
"The second water droplet has been activated. We must figure out their methods!"
"call out--!"
The water droplets were quickly launched into space. This time, they were much more cautious, preventing the water droplets from approaching rashly and instead observing them from a distance.
On Earth.
"Is this the thing from before? It looks like a water droplet, so beautiful."
Zhuo Yuanming looked at the surveillance footage and exclaimed in admiration, "Although they captured one, they haven't retrieved it yet, so we don't know what it looks like."
"It must be the thing that attacked our detector. We just fired an electromagnetic signal at the droplet, and it was all reflected 100%. The surface is absolutely smooth!"
Zhuo Yuanming looked at the screen and said calmly, "It seems the other side is very cautious this time, just watching from a distance and not getting close to our equipment. Is there a way to capture them from a distance?"
"Currently, our instruments can indeed fold space over long distances, but the maximum distance is 384,401 kilometers."
The target is 400,000 kilometers away, exceeding the distance limit; we need to get closer.
Others provided answers.
"Not far off. Let the instruments pretend to collect information about their world to induce them to attack. Even if they don't attack, we can slowly approach them. Once they enter our capture range, we'll activate the capture!"
Zhuo Yuanming gave the order: since the instruments have been spatially folded within a ten-meter radius, attacking them would be tantamount to walking into a trap.
"yes!"
Soon the stationary instruments began to move closer to that world, pretending to emit various electromagnetic signals and collect information about cosmic matter.
This grand display was meticulously recorded and transmitted back by Waterdrop.
"Commander, this is bad! The enemy is trying to approach our world!"
"What should we do? Commander, should we activate the droplet attack?"
The commander hesitated. Attacking meant losing a precious Droplet, but not attacking would be even more dangerous if the enemy figured out their bottom line. At that time, they would be caught off guard by various countermeasures!
"Attack! Record everything, and make sure you figure out their tactics!"
The commander gave the order.
"yes!"
Soon, the still water droplets crashed into Zhuo Yuanming and his team's instruments.
"Heh, they couldn't hold back any longer. Only an open scheme can leave people helpless, forcing them to approach and attack even when they know there's danger!"
Zhuo Yuanming smiled slightly: "There's no need to remotely activate the space folding mechanism. We'll keep a secret and give them a surprise later!"
