Upon hearing what the commander said, the technician trembled again.
He looked up at the screen in front of him with a panicked expression, silently praying for the results of the investigation.
The screen above displays a countdown to the probe's arrival.
Ten days.
This meant he would have to spend ten long days in the shadow of death.
"You go first."
Perhaps because they failed to locate the human civilization, or perhaps because of an "unexpected" situation with the long-distance communication device, a hint of impatience flashed across the commander's face.
"In these ten days, I hope you can find sufficient evidence!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the technician's eyes.
It nodded repeatedly, then stood up and ran quickly toward the gate.
...
The isolation room for long-distance communication devices.
The technician's face was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
Ten days have passed.
To it, the long-range communication device still appeared completely normal!
Not only that, it also brought in a group of its colleagues.
But no matter who it was, they couldn't find the problem.
The technician sat on the cold ground, feeling the faint gravity transmitted through the simulated gravity device, his eyes filled with deep despair.
He turned his head and glanced at the time.
Time is almost up.
It still hasn't found the so-called evidence.
If there are no enemy ships near the signal source...
With a bitter expression, it stood up, disconnected the maintenance terminal, and staggered toward the door of the isolation room.
Following the orders issued by the commander, it now needs to go to the command center to face its final "judgment".
The moment it stepped out of the isolation room.
A piercing alarm sounded inside the flagship!
This incredibly sharp sound did not frighten it at all!
on the contrary.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, it revealed a relieved and relaxed smile.
Finally, the gamble paid off.
...
When the technician leisurely walked into the command center, it was already in complete chaos.
It glanced casually at the screen directly in front of it.
As expected.
Besides the flames from the explosion, a brand new signal source appeared before everyone.
"technician!"
The once calm commander was now in a state of utter panic.
It shouted, "What on earth is going on?"
"Why were our long-range communication devices compromised by a Type II civilization?!"
At this moment, the stubborn and arrogant commander finally admitted this unbelievable conclusion.
As for the reason...
The alarm just now is the best evidence.
Same starship, same self-destruction.
Although the self-destruction did not cause any damage to the detector, it was like a slap in the face.
While feeling embarrassed and ashamed, it also felt an uncontrollable rage rising within it!
In its heart, its anger toward human civilization had reached its peak!
Damn bugs!
"Commander." The grey technician remained calm and respectfully saluted the fleet commander.
"Technician, have you found the cause?!"
The commander, panting heavily, asked in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this question, the gray technician's expression changed slightly, but he still calmly replied, "Not yet."
"you……"
Before the fleet commander could even reprimand it, it spoke again: "To be precise, none of us have found the reason."
"...You guys?" The commander's expression shifted slightly as he suppressed his anger.
Although these technicians do not hold a high position in the civilization, it is not foolish enough to do something that would offend the entire group of technicians.
“Yes.” The technician adopted a humble attitude. “Your Excellency Fleet Commander, not a single technician has discovered the problem in the past ten days.”
"This only shows that in the field of computer software, the other side has far surpassed us."
"This is normal, after all..."
"As you know, we do not belong to a normally developing civilization."
The commander didn't speak, but simply sat quietly in his seat.
It was filled with awe!
This...how is this possible!
A Level 2 civilization has actually surpassed a near-Level 4 civilization in the field of computer software?!
It gritted its teeth fiercely, its eyes flashing with a cold light!
"Smack!"
It raised its hand and slammed its hand on the control panel in front of it.
"In that case, I absolutely cannot let them escape!"
"Release all detectors!"
"Prepare to re-enter warp drive mode!"
"Even if I have to turn this area within a light-year radius upside down, I will find this tiny level-two civilization!"
...
Human fleet.
"Professor, the second Mystic Maiden has been discovered."
Zero's voice rang out in the command center.
Lu Yongchang slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Ten days..."
After a moment's thought, he unplugged the electromagnetic suction device from the chair, stood up, and said, "Zero, tell everyone that from now on, be prepared to respond to enemy attacks at any time!"
"All fleet, maintain radio silence!"
"At the same time, activate the defensive formation!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zijie, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise.
"Starting now?"
"Don't we still have 15 baits?"
"Good." Lü Yongchang nodded vigorously and repeated, "From now on!"
