Because it was their first time in a prosperous star region, Xiao Hu increased the range of its active scans.

After all, the rules here were strict. No amount of caution was excessive.

The space probe was more than seven hundred thousand kilometers away, no bigger than a cigarette pack, and coated in radiation-resistant matte paint.

In the pitch-black void, even Xiao Hu would not have detected it without its faint electromagnetic signal.

Old Lady Jia checked the probe type and frowned in puzzlement.

After receiving an affirmative answer, she nodded. "Then destroy it. There are so many cosmic storms out there."

Qu Jianlei paused and confirmed again. "Could there be some kind of malfunction investigation... I mean, there won't be any repercussions, right?"
