"What?!"
In Orange Star's conference hall, every professor and researcher stared in stunned disbelief.
But once Orange Star transmitted the footage, everyone fell silent and watched it from beginning to end.
The video opened against a pitch-black background-the void of space.
A tiny silver speck appeared in the center, gradually growing larger.
They saw Warship No. 37 sitting alone in space, moving at a constant speed.
Ahead of the ship, a swarm of aircraft sprayed vast quantities of liquid water.
Once the liquid water entered space, where temperatures were extremely low and atmospheric pressure was negligible, it rapidly turned into solid ice.
Under the sunlight, it glittered and gleamed.
The battleship's material analysis identified it as water. All of it was water, though other substances were mixed in.
"What are they trying to do?"
"Lay down a sheet of ice?"
Water freezing in space was a certainty.
And with so much of it, the water rapidly froze.
The ice sheet's speed barely changed, remaining roughly in step with the battleship, mainly because the ship had not accelerated.
As the ice spread farther and farther, it formed a thin sheet ahead of the battleship.
The ice did not look entirely continuous, but visually, it already formed a surface.
That ice had condensed from water.
Once there was enough of it, the other half of Warship No. 37's consciousness awoke, mobilizing all its spirituality and treating the ice sheet as a flat mirror.
All sorts of water surfaces appeared within its server cluster's calculations, including a surface of frozen water.
Water: Mirror Traversal!
The ship treated the flat expanse of ice as a mirror, imagining it was water.
Its thrusters suddenly blasted out scorching plasma, accelerating the battleship straight toward the ice.
By then, everyone was preparing to capture it, and Warship
