A chorus of sharp gasps rang out in the Command Center. "Hiss..."
They were astonished not only by the Gravity Bombs' incredible speed, but even more by the method Lü Yongchang had described!
It certainly sounded simple, but actually doing it-screening and checking all that data in such a short time...
Was that really something a human could do?!
For a moment, even Fang Xu gave Lü Yongchang a strange look.
Lü Yongchang noticed the odd looks everyone was giving him, but his attention was entirely on the Gravity Bombs launched by the enemy ships.
He spread his hands helplessly. "I know this method is a little crude."
"We have no choice. At present, we have no means of observing Starships that have entered Curvature Navigation."
"Only by conducting an exhaustive sweep for those faint gravitational changes do we have any chance of picking up their trajectories."
"Therefore..." Lü Yongchang paused briefly. "We need a large number of Probes!"
"A tremendous number of Probes," he stressed again. "Only by monitoring gravitational fluctuations across the entire battlefield in real time will we have any chance of taking evasive action in advance."
After his explanation, everyone temporarily put their astonishment at Lü Yongchang out of their minds.
Cao Liangcai's steady voice sounded beside him.
"Professor, we can strip down and modify our existing Probes."
"Each Probe only needs the most basic gravitational detection module and a communications module."
"We can remove every other function, including the propulsion system."
"It only needs to stay in a fixed area, just like..." Cao Liangcai paused, seemingly weighing his words.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He clapped his hands lightly and declared, "A fishing float!"
"Exactly, a fishing float!"
Lü Yongchang froze for a moment, then understood.
It was an apt comparison.
Like floats used in
