On the ground, some Evolvers on patrol looked up in terror at the enormous planet scraping past Earth.
In truth, there was still a great distance between them. It had not even been aimed at Earth, but its appearance still filled everyone with endless fear!
Even though the two were far apart, its appearance still triggered a chain of problems.
Some satellites lost contact. Fortunately, its speed was extremely high, so only a tiny number of satellites were affected.
The Deputy Station Director held his coffee cup and watched the planet fly away, feeling an indescribable awe.
While humanity was still observing celestial bodies, these aliens were already capable of using them. That was the difference between them.
According to some of their research, these aliens' spacecraft could not actually maintain low-light-speed travel indefinitely. In fact, they could not achieve low-light-speed travel at all.
They relied entirely on capturing an asteroid's gravity and turning their fleet into a group of satellites around it. That was how they gained their speed boost.
The entire fleet was actually orbiting the asteroid as well, just very slowly.
In theory, this technology was not particularly complicated. To people who did not understand it, however, it might indeed be difficult to grasp.
But to those who did understand it, it was actually quite simple—and there was already a concrete example: artificial satellites.
The Sun carried every planet in the Solar System as it raced through the Milky Way Galaxy at two or three hundred kilometers per second, while Earth's satellite revolved around Earth at tremendous speed.
Had the satellite shifted slightly because the Solar System itself was moving? No.
Once a celestial body's mass reached a certain level, it could firmly keep its satellites by its side.
That was exactly what the alien space fleet
