In an instant, Wenger's face flushed red, his eyes shining!
If humanity could really open up a third star route, that would be insanely amazing!
After all, Bose Star Navigation and Silicon Speed Star Navigation were controlled by the Bose Particle and the Silicon-based Lifeforms!
They charged exorbitant tolls!
And they only let you use their routes when they felt like it. If they didn't, they'd shut them down outright!
If they didn't open a route to a resource-rich starfield, you simply couldn't get there!
Distances of hundreds of billions of light-years were enough to daunt anyone!
And starfields like the North Crown Starry Sky Mine charged tolls ten times higher than other regions!
You had to pay to use their routes, and if you were shipping cargo, they took a cut of the goods, too!
Otherwise, they wouldn't let you through!
Was there anything you could do about it? No! You had to use their routes, or else cross the vast interstellar distances yourself!
Even with a Warp Engine, interstellar travel took an incredibly long time! And you might get ambushed!
If humanity's Dimensional Star Navigation really came online...
Wenger swallowed:
(*?△?) "Wh-when will it be ready?"
Jiang Nan looked troubled:
(??ˇ~ˇ??) "Well~ It'll probably take a long time. We don't have enough people, and we don't have startup capital!"
"To spread Dimensional Star Navigation across the entire starfield and build stations on every planet belonging to every race, who knows how long that'll take!"
"And humanity has a bad reputation right now. The other races don't welcome us when we go to do business or get things started. Building Dimensional Star Navigation will be even harder!"
Jiang Nan wasn't wrong. Building and operating Dimensional Star Navigation across the entire starfield would require an enormous amount of capital and
