Song He smiled, shifting his attention away from the livestream and back to the Moon Battleship plans. The opening ceremony was nothing special no matter how many times he watched it. Work came first.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred!
A small window suddenly popped up on the screen, glowing with an eye-searing red light.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time. Several more images split off inside the small window. Each image contained a sharp, elongated line, with speed changes and longitude, latitude, and altitude coordinates marked beside it.
Mach 50!
Before Song He could react, the target's real-time speed on the graph plunged from Mach 50 to Mach 0.1 in less than two seconds!
"The Bates Ball!" Xiang Xiaotong cried out. "It's appeared again!"
"These coordinates... Did it go to watch the Robot Olympic Games opening ceremony?" Song He was stunned. "That's right. It stopped!"
The couple's scalps prickled as they stared fixedly at the unidentified object in the image. Judging from the radar, it was less than half a meter wide, roughly the size of a fitness ball in a gym. Yet it had suddenly appeared at the North Pole, its peak speed soaring to Mach 70 before quickly dropping to Mach 50 after entering their territory, then plunging straight to zero!
Its altitude changes were equally bizarre. When it appeared at the North Pole, it first rose sharply to thirty thousand meters above sea level. Upon reaching its destination, it then dropped sharply to an altitude of one thousand meters, drawing an extremely straight vertical line.
This was not the first time they had witnessed the Bates Ball's terrifying mobility. It seemed to completely disregard Newton's laws. It flew however it pleased, and it was impossible to imagine what powered such incredible speeds—or
