"Wait!"
Lü Yongchang abruptly stopped waving his hand and shouted, "Zero! Replay the video and find that point of light!"
Lü Yongchang's shout shattered the silence in the command center.
Everyone turned puzzled gazes toward him.
"Yongchang?" Fang Xu's voice came from a distance. "What's wrong?"
The holographic projection, already half dissolved, coalesced again, and the footage rapidly rewound.
When he saw that bright point of light reappear on the Sun's surface, he shouted, "Stop!"
The footage immediately froze.
On the surface of the crimson fireball was an object far brighter than the Sun itself.
Lü Yongchang swept his hand through the air, and the holographic projection before him instantly dissolved.
Then the same image appeared on the enormous holographic projection at the front of the command center.
"What-!" Fang Xu's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "What is that?!"
"Has something else happened to the Sun?"
"No, I'm afraid it isn't the Sun..."
For a moment, countless voices filled the command center with noisy discussion.
Ignoring the chatter, Lü Yongchang said, "Zero, process the image."
"Yes, Professor."
The image on the enormous holographic projection rapidly changed.
The region containing the bright point on the Sun's surface was magnified again and again.
Gradually, the image grew somewhat blurry.
But under Zero's processing, it became clear again.
After several cycles of this and a series of adjustments by Zero, a clear image of the point of light gradually appeared before everyone.
"Holy shit..."
"WTF..."
"..."
When they saw the clear image of the point of light, everyone in the command center swore in unison.
There was only one reason.
It was an unmistakably artificial object!
The silvery-white sphere had an extremely smooth surface.
At least, Lü Yongchang could see no rough patches or protrusions on its surface in the holographic projection.
