As researchers arrived at Laboratory One one after another, more and more components and functions were added to the probes.
Fortunately, all the probes had modular designs, so adding or removing functions took little time.
Three days later.
The moment the Black Hole Observation Network was completed, the first batch of black hole probes left the manufacturing platform assembled by several engineering ships. Powered by their antimatter engines, they flew straight toward the dazzlingly bright accretion disk.
The moment the Black Hole Observation Network came online, vast quantities of data flooded into the Central Computer aboard the Earth.
Although the Photon Supercomputing Center had been upgraded several times, it still briefly lagged under the enormous volume of observational data.
Fortunately, humanity had Zero.
It saved human civilization countless hours of data processing!
In the laboratory, Lü Yongchang carefully examined the processed probe data in the holographic projection, trying to find what he needed amid the mass of information.
"Professor, probe 9PL67 has detected an anomalous phenomenon."
An electronic synthesized voice interrupted his thoughts.
Still watching the holographic image before him, Lü Yongchang nodded absently.
At his gesture, a holographic projection appeared beside him.
A moment later, he "reluctantly" tore his gaze away from the data and turned toward the image beside him.
"Huh?"
His eyes brightened slightly, and he let out a quiet exclamation.
"I never expected there to be a planet here!"
The laboratory was quiet, and everyone nearby heard Lü Yongchang's murmured words clearly.
"What? A planet?!"
"Holy shit?!"
"..."
In an instant, the quiet laboratory came alive.
Like children who had spotted a lollipop, the scientists put down their work and hurried over to Lü Yongchang, craning their necks to peer curiously at the holographic image beside him.
A planet encircled by several rings slowly orbited
