For the probes of a level two or even a level three civilization, this was already an attack from an entirely different league.
After all, they had no way of observing spacecraft that had entered a warp state!
A speed of 1.01c was not particularly fast, but on this scale, it was already blindingly quick.
As such, this plan put Zero's capabilities to a serious test.
Fortunately, as a strong artificial intelligence, Zero had never let humanity down.
Just seconds after the three probes vanished one after another, they reappeared in unison beside the "clueless" Ellipsoidal Probe under Zero's control.
With their Antimatter Engines, the three Spherical Probes effortlessly maintained their positions relative to the Ellipsoidal Probe.
As an electromagnetic message containing a dictionary was transmitted, three mechanical arms rapidly extended and shot toward the Ellipsoidal Probe at tremendous speed.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The mechanical arms brutally shattered the Ellipsoidal Probe's outer armor and injected vast numbers of silvery-white nano-robots into it.
Under Zero's control, these nano-robots quickly dispersed and infiltrated the various ports on its circuit boards.
The instant the connection was established, Zero's immense computing power surged in like a tsunami, smashing through all of the opposing civilization's defenses before they could react.
"Probe control privileges successfully seized."
"Reverse-engineering the enemy Quantum Communications Mother Unit..."
As the stiff electronic synthesized voice rang out in the [Command Center], Lü Yongchang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Only a few seconds had passed between the appearance of the three Spherical Probes and the seizure of control, but Lü Yongchang had still spotted some problems.
"Extending the mechanical arms and gaining access took too much time. We need a more efficient method."
Lü Yongchang turned to Academician Cao Liangcai beside him and said quietly, "I'll leave that research to you."
Without
