A tiny whale no more than a hundred meters long was truly inconspicuous in the outer space around this unknown planet.
It did not even look much bigger than a satellite.
If not for its unusual shape, its undetectable body, and its swift, completely unmasked movements,
this small planetary civilization—which had already achieved global unity and joined the entire interstellar civilization network—would never have detected the Red Whale.
On the geosynchronous orbit nearly 350,000 kilometers above the planet's surface, a strange scene could be observed.
A tiny whale with jet-black skin and a distinct golden line along its back kept circling the many satellites drifting freely through space.
Its two not-so-large wings gently fluttered on either side of its body.
When the light from the star shone upon the Red Whale's taut, smooth skin, it seemed to reveal a blue radiance rippling across its back, complementing the golden line that even the starlight could not conceal.
The Red Whale's adorable little eyes glittered at the surrounding satellites, filled with a hint of excitement.
It seemed not to have realized that its body was now hundreds of times smaller than before.
Likewise, the surrounding objects seemed to be the same enormous metals as before, but their mass was worlds apart.
In the Red Whale's mind, these metals deliberately cast out into space were all useless refuse.
Although it had never made a habit of actively attacking civilized planets to plunder their metal,
it had no understanding of these metallic objects orbiting the planet and merely regarded them as food.
Therefore, without realizing the truth, the Red Whale happily wandered through this ocean of food.
Along one section of this geosynchronous orbit, nearly two hundred satellites of various functions drifted.
Most of them were communications, broadcasting, weather, and other satellites, providing great
