Inside the command center aboard the Earth.
"H-how did it go?" Fang Xu asked in a strained whisper. "Did it work?"
Before Lü Yongchang could answer, the footage from the probe in the holographic projection had already given him his answer.
Amid intense gamma radiation and the fiery glare of the explosion, a dark gray spherical probe appeared in the projection once again.
Despite the tremendous impact and explosion, the spherical probe's surface remained perfectly smooth.
Scans from the high-precision probes confirmed that it was still an almost flawlessly perfect sphere.
"I-it didn't work?"
Fang Xu instinctively raised a hand and rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"No." His lips dry and his face somewhat pale, Lü Yongchang stared at the footage in the holographic projection.
"It worked."
As he spoke, Lü Yongchang quickly raised a hand and made several adjustments on the small holographic projection before him.
At the same time, a slightly blurry image appeared on the enormous holographic projection.
"Do you see it?"
"Gravitational lensing!"
"Gravitational lensing visible to the naked eye!"
"It activated its gravity shield!"
Lü Yongchang quickly brought up footage taken a few minutes earlier. "Look. When it rammed the Antimatter Collection Device and the probes, it didn't activate its gravity shield!"
"That means it's afraid of antimatter attacks, just as we suspected!"
"But... we can't break through its gravity shield," Fang Xu pointed out beside him in a subdued voice.
Lü Yongchang: "..."
As the spherical probe drew closer and closer to Dawn Star, Lü Yongchang gritted his teeth and made his decision.
"Activate the Dimensional Strike Ship!"
Using the Two-Dimensional Fragment provided by Hua, the Dimensional Strike Ship could launch a dimension-reducing strike against a target.
Its power was immense, and its technology far surpassed any weapons
