In the holographic projection, the signals picked up by the passive detection equipment were unmistakable.
Lü Yongchang was almost certain that these probes had come swaggering straight toward them with their full-spectrum active radars switched on!
"How could they dare to do this..."
Beside him, Fang Xu murmured in disbelief, "Aren't they practically announcing their arrival to us?"
Lü Yongchang's expression darkened slightly.
"Perhaps their civilization's technology is even more advanced than I imagined."
"At the very least, they're extremely confident in this encirclement operation."
He took a deep breath to settle his conflicting emotions, then said gravely, "But looking at it another way..."
"This is also our opportunity."
"Zero, have you pinpointed their probes?" Lü Yongchang changed the subject.
"Locations confirmed." As Zero answered, the coordinates appeared on the holographic projection directly ahead. "Currently searching with optical telescopes."
A star map unfolded in the holographic projection.
A dozen or so bright white dots appeared in one corner of the map.
Watching the direction in which those dots were moving, Lü Yongchang paused in surprise.
"They... haven't detected us yet?"
Before Zero could answer, he answered his own question. "Of course."
"It would certainly be difficult to find a fleet with all its engines shut down in such a vast, dark expanse of space."
"But since they've already located this area, discovering us is only a matter of time."
"Professor..." Zhao Zijie's voice came from beside him.
Lü Yongchang knew exactly what he wanted to say and slowly shook his head. "Don't attack yet."
"Wait until they get closer."
"If possible, recover as much probe wreckage as you can."
"I need it to gather intelligence on their fleet."
Zhao Zijie's expression grew serious, and he nodded lightly.
