Seeing the hesitation on Xu Ruoxi and the commanders' faces, S2K already knew what was going on.
He shook his head and explained.
"Actually, it's because the propulsion systems are too outdated. There's an incredibly powerful energy force field here. It's troublesome to explain, so you only need to understand the general idea."
"If our ships' propulsion systems are too outdated, they simply can't navigate here. This is the handiwork of those high-level civilizations!"
"Their goal is to restrict low-level civilizations from developing into higher-level ones, to prevent low-level civilizations from entering High-Dimensional Space from low-dimensional space..."

After finishing, he added, "But if we can acquire those Star Destroyer Motherships with advanced propulsion systems, we'll be able to leave this place!"

"What do we do now?"
Xu Ruoxi immediately asked.
"It's fine. I'll make
