He pressed a few spots on the wall cautiously, confirming his guess.
If it were him and Fang Er capturing prisoners from another civilization, they would definitely install surveillance in the prison!
The Trisolarans, with their superior technology, couldn't possibly have overlooked this.
Yet, she hadn't found any surveillance equipment in the cabin.
Now, the anomaly in the corner provided the answer.
As someone who originated as an AI and now possessed a physical body, she not only had human senses but also a sense that humans lacked!
That was the ability to sense data streams!
She had clearly sensed a massive amount of data being transmitted continuously from this corner!
After taking out heavy objects from the storage and blocking the cabin door, Xi Tong returned to the corner and swung her hammer down with all her might.
**Eighty!**
The smooth wall emitted a dull thud, and an indentation was instantly created.
Sparks and electrical arcs flashed from the wall, and the struck area immediately became dim and lifeless.
The entire cabin, all four walls, ceiling, and floor, turned out to be a comprehensive, no-dead-angle surveillance system!
"Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep..."
As her hammer struck, a shrill alarm blared.
Outside the cabin, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. It was clear that the Trisolarans knew what was happening inside.
Glancing back at the heavy objects blocking the cabin door, a smile appeared on Xi Tong's lips.
She reached into the wall, pulled out a data cable, and began her infiltration of this world-ending warship.
If she couldn't win head-on, she would sow discord from within!
This was the strategy she and Fang Er had chosen when facing Captain Mo Shi on the White Emperor.
**Buy me ten minutes!**
In the adjacent cabin, Fang Er, having received the message, immediately removed his handcuffs and shackles.
He then retrieved a pile of tools from storage, found the connection point between the cabin door and the hull, and effortlessly detached the entire door.
As he stepped out, he came face-to-face with the approaching Trisolaran soldiers.
"Take him down!"
The leading Trisolaran was Captain Mo Shi, who had boarded the White Emperor earlier. Upon seeing Fang Er, he immediately waved his hand and shouted at his subordinates.
The Trisolaran soldiers repeated their previous tactic, throwing the balls that could transform into large nets at Fang Er.
But this time, Fang Er chuckled.
"Grandchildren, did you really think Grandpa couldn't dodge this?"
Before he finished speaking, he charged towards the nets.
What Captain Mo Shi saw next stunned him.
Fang Er, before his eyes, was like a black hole that could devour everything. A dozen nets, the moment they touched him, vanished instantly, as if they had never existed.
"This is impossible!"
Captain Mo Shi's eyes widened like bells, a stark contrast to his palm-sized face.
"Nothing is impossible!"
Seeing the Trisolaran soldiers pulling out gun-like weapons, Fang Er casually threw out a tank, separating the two sides and, in the process, completely sealing off the door to Xi Tong's cabin.
Li Shimin and the others, confined to other cabins, also heard the commotion outside.
Qin Shi Huang and the others feared some accident had befallen the ship, and their hearts were filled with anxiety.
Only one person was different!
That was Yuan Tiangang!
Before being confined, the Trisolarans had searched everyone.
But at this moment, the old Yuan seemed to be performing magic, producing a pile of explosives from somewhere!
"Namo Amitabha, daring to steal this old Daoist's teleportation gate!"
"Now, it's time to witness a miracle!"
After uttering these disgruntled words, he quickly retreated to a corner.
Immediately following, a violent explosion rocked the ship, and the originally sturdy cabin door collapsed with a roar.
Hearing the commotion behind him, several black lines appeared on Fang Er's forehead.
"Old Yuan, can you be a little gentler!"
Yuan Tiangang frowned, "Only great force can create miracles!"
Fang Er: ........
Miracles, my foot!
If Xi Tong succeeded, this ship would bear his surname!
Wouldn't he have to repair it himself later?
The Trisolaran soldiers were blocked by the tank, unable to advance. But soon, Fang Er and Yuan Tiangang heard footsteps approaching from behind.
"You handle the front, I'll deal with the rear!"
Yuan Tiangang was clearly angered by his previous capture. With a casual sweep of his hand, another lump of explosives appeared...
"Stop!"
Fang Er quickly shouted to halt him.
Trisolarans, whom even ion cannons couldn't harm, would surely be unaffected by these explosives.
Furthermore, it would fill the ship with the smell of gunpowder, which was quite unpleasant.
Casually pushing Yuan Tiangang back into his cabin, he retrieved another tank and firmly blocked the corridor behind him.
On the other side, Captain Mo Shi was directing his soldiers to dismantle the tank. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of this through a gap and finally realized something.
"Is this the legendary spatial ability?"
"This is impossible!"
"Abilities have long since died out. What race are these beings?"
"Quick, request support!"
His expression was tense, and he issued the command almost by shouting.
These two sentences made Fang Er's eyes light up.
Ability users?
Long since died out?
This meant that the Trisolarans had encountered them before, or perhaps, they too had once had individuals with strange powers!
If it were in the past, Fang Er might not have paid much attention.
However, after witnessing Li Shimin's ability to start fires without detection and Xi Tong's power to condense mist into pearls, he was eager to discover what other abilities could be developed.
Ever since his last experiment was interrupted by Wang Xuance, he hadn't discovered what his own ability was.
Spatial ability?
That was the system's doing; it had nothing to do with him!
The tank, weighing over 30 tons, blocked the narrow corridor. Despite Captain Mo Shi sweating profusely, he couldn't move it in a short period.
The same situation applied to the tank behind.
Meanwhile, Xi Tong was still busy with her own tasks.
Although only a few minutes had passed, from the data streams she had accessed, she had already understood the Trisolarans' methods and the techniques they used to attack the White Emperor.
Machine Storm!
The so-called machines were nanobots launched in a special manner. Once they came into contact with the enemy's hull, the programs embedded within these nanobots would automatically guide them to find exposed data pathways, export the invasion data stored within them, and thus gain control!
For example, various chips on the spaceship or circuits!
In essence, it was not much different from the method Xi Tong was currently using.
However, Xi Tong's method required her personal contact.
Whereas the Trisolarans' Machine Storm could be controlled remotely!
As long as the warship's defense system had a vulnerability, these nanobots would be like unseen guests!
Coincidentally, the White Emperor had been injured earlier when it mistakenly entered the battlefield!
"Not good!"
As soon as she figured this out, Xi Tong's heart leaped into her throat.
Since these Trisolarans could use nanobots to attack ship control systems, they could equally use them to attack Fang Er and the others!
