Mao Zhengzhi gazed thoughtfully at the Holographic Projection before him.
His opinion was much the same as Lü Yongchang's.
"That counts as good news." Mao Zhengzhi let out a small sigh of relief. "If they really were Highly Intelligent Organisms, they could cause us quite a bit of trouble."
Lü Yongchang nodded noncommittally.
If they possessed advanced intelligence, they would inevitably interfere significantly with the Academy of Sciences' upcoming mineral survey mission.
After all, no creature would stand by and watch an alien species invade its territory.
As a prerequisite for the Asteroid-Class Warship project, the mineral survey mission currently held the highest priority in the Human Federation.
Thus, if that situation arose, war would be inevitable.
But that was precisely the problem.

For one thing, the Ice Giant's Liquid Ammonia Ocean was vast. These giant fish could easily adopt guerrilla tactics, which would severely hinder humanity's construction progress.
For another, the environment inside the Ice Giant was not particularly friendly to the Human Fleet.
Lü Yongchang had no intention of wasting too much time on these giant fish!
