After taking the photos, Nie Yun immediately directed the Space Spy to accelerate and shift into a higher orbit!
The difference in their speeds grew smaller and smaller, and their orbits drew ever closer, but the Communications Satellite remained oblivious.
Finally, the two collided precisely with only a tiny difference in speed. Smack! Had there been any air, a faint slap would have been audible.
Then, on the Communications Satellite's golden surface, a palm-sized, irregular smear of silvery-white graffiti suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The contrast between gold and silver was striking! It was like someone had splattered mud across an exquisite work of art.
Because Nie Yun had controlled the difference in their speeds with extreme care, and the Space Spy itself had little mass, the Communications Satellite's orbit was barely affected.
Next, the Mechanical Insects that had successfully landed devoured a pinprick-sized hole in the satellite's surface, then all streamed through it into the Communications Satellite. Under Nie Yun's painstaking control, they skirted most of the precision equipment and spread deeper inside, searching for the satellite's control center!
Nie Yun's technological capabilities had improved beyond recognition. Even without knowing the satellite's technical details, locating its control center by following the layout of its electronic circuits was hardly difficult for a tech expert like him!
Soon, the Mechanical Insects gathered around a main control chip, like diners holding knives and forks, ready to feast.
"Do it!" At Nie Yun's command, the Mechanical Insects swarmed forward and completely devoured it in less than ten seconds. Then they immediately assembled themselves into an identical chip to replace it! A perfect switch!
The Mechanical Insects immediately began processing data and handling communications according to the original chip's design, making the satellite appear perfectly normal.
NASA satellite control center, America.
Beep, beep!
