Chapter 594: Discovery

“Exactly, Elder Humes. It seems we need to find another approach. You’re stationed there, and with these speculations, have you found any clues?” Elder Cecil asked, shrugging slightly.

Their social structures, networks, and information systems are impenetrable. Combined with some of their unique methods, even with them occupying LKDW399, infiltrating and investigating there isn’t easy. Moreover, I lack sufficient specialized personnel here.

“Great service? With such primitive thermonuclear reactions, if it had participated in any major battles, it couldn’t have escaped our monitoring and early warning systems.” As she said this, Elder Cecil’s eyes suddenly widened.
