Seeing the photo of this "sea urchin," Yang Ming's first reaction was to run.
How could this thing suddenly appear in a backwater place like Saka Star?
The Poisoned Stinger Ship, a special operations ship rarely seen in the Empire, was solely equipped with the high-powered, multi-purpose antennas resembling sea urchin spines as its only weapon.
In "Abyss," it rarely appeared on the front lines and never participated in any of the Empire's external wars. It roamed the corners of the Empire, controlling networks, purifying information, and manipulating public opinion. There were even rumors among players that it could collectively brainwash the population of large cities—similar to mind control.
More outrageous rumors had no reference value, like it could cause players to disconnect en masse and block IPs.
That was sheer nonsense.
Simply put, the ship's field of application was information warfare.
