On the surface of the Twin Stars Warships resting quietly in the void, a blue light suddenly flickered. Its Force Field Shield rippled faintly, deflecting a tiny piece of cosmic dust that had struck it.
The thumbtack-sized speck of cosmic dust spun as it slowly drifted away, but a bright silver gleam briefly flashed across its dark surface.
On the Sea Wolf's bridge.
Nie Yun curled his lip and scoffed, then turned toward the display. It showed hundreds of close-up images of sections of the Winged Race warship. They were exceptionally clear; obviously, they had been taken from quite close to the enemy vessel.
"Hmm... this should be some kind of reflective armor? This type of warship probably emphasizes defense...
The Sea Race and the Winged Race are exact opposites? All offense and all defense? Could this be a fleet configuration designed around cooperation..." Nie Yun tapped the armrest with his index finger, analyzing every possible clue.
Both sides' miniature probes were almost all no bigger than a little finger, and gravitational-wave detectors could not achieve resolution on such a tiny scale.
With the probes' camouflaged exteriors, even the tens of thousands of Space Spies Nie Yun had deployed nearby were only a drop of ink in the ocean compared with the vastness of space. The probability of the two sides' probes happening to encounter each other was virtually zero.
Normally... finding these probes would have been nearly impossible for either side! However...
"Trajectory calculations complete. My apologies, Captain, but I only acquired approximately five percent of the enemy probes," Codename reported.
As she finished speaking, dozens of little red dots appeared on the star chart in the surveillance feed, moving at constant speeds. A dozen or so were heading straight toward the Sea Wolf.
