In Sigel's view, the probability of an accident at B5 Level is far greater than the probability of Swarm invasion.

Sigel had never had close contact with the Zerg, and due to his rank, he wasn't authorized to access some classified information. However, in his view, the simultaneous loss of contact with multiple surveillance areas and numerous mechanical repair robots without leaving any trace was something even the Zerg themselves probably couldn't accomplish so cleanly and efficiently.

Therefore, he didn't believe it was the Zerg who did it. There were other possibilities that could have caused the situation at B5 Level. He could only think of one: if a highly magnetic device malfunctioned and leaked energy, it could potentially emit an electromagnetic pulse in a small area, producing an effect similar to EMP.

Although their warships have EMP-protected coatings and other defensive measures on the outside, their monitoring equipment and the simplest Engineering Robot are clearly not equipped with such protection.

He happened to know that a high-magnetic instrument in that area had malfunctioned previously. He discovered this while browsing the area's records, but he didn't mention it. The truth would only be revealed at the end to demonstrate its value.

Besides, those instruments weren't under his management. Although that instrument had malfunctioned before, there had been no energy leakage. In his view, it must have been caused by improper handling by the crew members in charge of them.

He also knew which crew member was in charge of the instruments. Although that person was only a junior crew member, he had served for a very long time, at least several times longer than him, and was very good at socializing with a large circle of friends and family. If he were to reveal this matter beforehand, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

In that case, to maximize the benefits of this matter, it is necessary to drag it out until others are at a loss. However, the possibility that others will discover the truth cannot be ruled out; if that happens, then this success will be out of his reach.

However, he also avoided making enemies, so it wasn't a complete loss. As long as he waited and saw how things developed, he wouldn't lose out no matter what he did. But those guys, even his team leader, who were boasting earlier, were now so fearful, even showing it on their faces, which was rather unacceptable.

Time passed slowly, and to make it easier for everyone to see the clues more clearly and to ensure that they could be found as soon as possible, team leader Alikson had Sigel share all the video footage from the ten Engineering Robot.

The screen, divided into ten sections, shows the perspective of the Engineering Robot. After being awakened one by one and confirming the legality and validity of the command, they immediately begin their journey to the accident site.

These Engineering Robot resemble discs; they are not large, only about 30 centimeters in diameter, and are very similar to the sweeping robots of ancient times.

In the space environment, although some areas of the warship have simulated gravity, most of these are living quarters, command centers, and recreation rooms. A warship is not an eco-friendly vessel; it needs to use its energy efficiently. Therefore, many areas remain unaffected by simulated gravity.

B5, located on the lower deck of the warship, was merely a storage area for some less important instruments and was naturally not part of the living quarters. In these areas, objects possessed levitation capabilities, which meant that flying consumed far less energy than walking.

Ten maintenance robots, resembling ten small flying saucers, lined up in a long queue, their tails spewing propellant jets as they flew rapidly along the warship's passageway toward the accident site.

After Sigel connected to their video system, a small hole was opened at the top and bottom of the Engineering Robot's main disc. Then, two monitoring probes extended out. These probes not only had very high resolution but also had a 360-degree rotation function. At the same time, they could perform some repetitive tasks according to a set program, or they could be remotely accessed by the user to control their various functions.

Meanwhile, Sigel was having a headache because of some of the demands from the crew and officers who were sharing the perspective of the equipment. In response to their demands, Sigel manipulated the video functions of the Engineering Robot, frantically switching angles.

However, they did not find anything unusual along the way, and naturally were not attacked.

"Be careful, once you pass through this door, you'll enter the accident area."

"Sigel, spread out the maintenance robots to avoid them all being wiped out at once."

"Yes, sir. But sir, I need to request Gwendolyn's assistance. I can't operate so many devices on my own."

"No problem, send me your application and I'll authorize it." Alikson readily agreed. It was such a small matter, it wouldn't waste many resources, so he readily agreed.

In their race, the person in charge of a certain area is called Captain, but they have quite a lot of authority. They can handle some minor matters on their own without the captain's approval.

With Gwendolyn's assistance, Sigel's work became much easier. Although artificial intelligence is somewhat rigid and lacks creativity, it is far superior to the crew in executing orders and performing tedious tasks.

The crew noticed that the viewing angles they requested were changing much faster, realizing that Gwendolyn was in position. As a result, they requested to change the viewing angle even more frequently.

Each Engineering Robot has two 360-degree rotating cameras, as well as multiple fixed cameras. With ten robots, there are dozens of different perspectives, which can display the surrounding scene in great detail, meeting everyone's needs.

Along the way, the group noticed nothing unusual from these different perspectives. This was within their expectations. However, the Engineering Robot were about to enter the accident area, and that was when the real tension began.

The sealed hatch slowly opened, and before anyone could see what was happening, dozens of viewpoints went dark. Most of the parts of the ten Engineering Robot had been disconnected from the system, making it impossible for Sigel to control them remotely.

However, whether or not it was under control at this point was no longer important. Perhaps because of the greater distance, the robot did not immediately lose contact. It still had some functions and was still transmitting information.

Sigel quickly glanced at the feedback and then breathed a sigh of relief. The feedback showed that the Engineering Robot had just encountered a powerful electromagnetic pulse attack, which was quite consistent with his previous guess.

The equipment malfunctioned without being reported, and it seems some people will be punished. Just then, another electromagnetic pulse swept through, and the ten Engineering Robot couldn't withstand it, instantly losing all contact.
