The scientists were not discouraged, but with the research having progressed to this point, they truly seemed to have run up against an uncrossable chasm. For a long time to come, humanity's research in this area fell into stagnation.

The Daya Civilization could be said to have been marking time all these years.
The Silver Heart Civilization had not fared much better. They had played Three-Dimensional Shuttle Technology in all kinds of ways, but could not make any achievements in dimensional reduction. Even after participating in the Human Civilization-led scientific research project and obtaining a large amount of cooperative research data, they still could not move an inch.
