Inside the command center of the Earth.
In the holographic projection, the remaining 16 detectors circled around once more before launching another "attack" on the human fleet.
The result was predictable.
With the obstruction of the Golden Crow battleships, these probes were successfully reduced to fragments of space debris.
However, there is one exception.
It luckily escaped the fate of becoming space debris—it was successfully captured.
This high-tech-looking probe quietly resides inside the Xuan Nu II module.
With the coordinated efforts of several robots, the communication equipment inside the detector was quickly removed.
Inside the Earth, Lü Yongchang was intently issuing commands to Zero.
As for Zero, he was controlling the robot to perfectly execute Lü Yongchang's orders.
The detector was disassembled piece by piece, and the various devices inside were exposed to everyone.
"this……"
Lu Yongchang was speechless for a moment as he looked at the scene before him.
"how so……"
The detector's internal structure is not complex; in fact, it is somewhat rudimentary.
The technological sophistication of most of these devices is even less than that of human-made detectors!
Its futuristic design and incredible mobility...
Shouldn't this be an advanced detector manufactured by the opposing civilization?!
But why is there such a shabby thing under its glamorous exterior?!
Lu Yongchang sat in the chair with a livid face and took a deep breath.
Although he felt like he was being played by an advanced civilization, he quickly thought about it and his depressed mood immediately eased.
At least, there are some things worth learning from this detector.
power.
Like human civilization, this technologically advanced probe also employs a Hall thruster and a fusion reactor.
Unlike human civilization, their Hall thrusters employ a novel architecture.
In addition, there are more energy-efficient fusion reactors...
Human civilization has made a fortune from these two technologies alone.
However, this also brought new doubts to Lü Yongchang.
"Could it be... that the other side has just entered a level three civilization?"
Otherwise, he would never be able to find out why the other party did this.
Only fleets that have just entered the third level of civilization would use some old facilities as consumables.
Lu Yongchang's eyes were filled with confusion.
After racking his brains without finding a solution, he shook his head helplessly: "Never mind."
"Instead of thinking about these things, we should prepare for the battle as soon as possible."
...
Little Grey's flagship store.
The alarms blared incessantly.
The little gray man in the first seat had already stood up from his chair.
It was breathing rapidly, its pupils trembling slightly as it looked at the large screen in front of it.
"What's going on!"
"How were they able to detect our detectors?!"
"Aren't they a Type II civilization?!"
The commander's slightly shrill voice echoed within the flagship.
At the same time, its sinister gaze slowly swept over the crowd.
The technicians who were initially responsible for assessing the other party's level of civilization all lowered their heads.
Embarrassment and confusion flickered on the faces of each little gray person.
"Technician No. 126!"
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Seeing that no one answered, the commander became somewhat annoyed and directly called out names.
A visible look of bewilderment crossed the face of the technician who was called upon.
It looked up helplessly, only to meet the commander's cold gaze.
Technician No. 126 suddenly shuddered.
"But, perhaps our assessment was wrong..."
After carefully considering its words, it cautiously began to explain, "We have too few data samples, so errors are inevitable..."
"Then what level of civilization do you think the other side belongs to?" The commander's face grew increasingly grim.
The losses caused by the technicians' misjudgments are not important.
If the other party is a true Level 4 civilization, then their previous actions were tantamount to courting death!
"..."
Technician No. 126 did not immediately answer the commander's question.
After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Level three!"
"Level three at most!"
"They could never be a Level IV civilization!"
"Otherwise, we should have been caught long ago!"
"I believe that no civilization can tolerate this level of provocation!"
The commander did not express his opinion, but simply sat quietly in his chair, staring blankly at the large screen in front of him.
On the screen, the signal from the last detector also disappeared.
a long time.
Thinking of the current state of the fleet, a ruthless glint flashed in the commander's eyes.
"Except for the detectors."
"All starships proceed to the target star system!"
"Our incomplete technological system will be improved!"
"Preparing to enter warp drive mode!"
"Let's get in front of them!"
...
One month later.
Human fleet.
During this month, everyone's nerves were on edge.
In fact, in order to detect the enemy even a second earlier, the human fleet completely abandoned concealment and directly activated its active detection equipment at maximum power.
but……
A full month of detection and scanning.
Not a single enemy was found.
Not even a single detector was detected!
Sitting in the command center, Lü Yongchang's eyes were full of exhaustion.
He habitually looked up at the holographic projection directly in front of him.
