Wang Dong immediately understood.
It was precisely this "slight trembling" that had led Liu Zhi to that conclusion.
Why?
The farther away the target was, the harder it was for a change in direction to make the "Wisteria Compass" needle sway.
Conversely, the closer the target was, the more easily the same degree of directional change would make the needle sway!
The needle on the "Wisteria Compass" was swaying so frequently, which could only mean one thing.
The "Zheng Family Compass" it pointed toward was currently quite close to the region of space occupied by the Sky Peng Horizontal!
Of course, "close" here certainly didn't mean a few tens of thousands of kilometers.
The distance still had to be measured in light-years.
But at least, this was a glimmer of hope!
"Leave a Tracking Beacon in this region of space and another on the Mechanical Ship Island. We'll set off immediately and use the 'Wisteria Compass' to search for the 'Zheng Family Compass'!"
Everyone responded in unison.
At any rate, as long as they could see a glimmer of hope, there was still something to strive for.
And with hope, humanity would never lose its way.
Even Xu Zhenzhi, who had been yearning to explore the Mechanical Ship Island, raised no objections at this moment.
With his intelligence and emotional acuity, he naturally understood what the most urgent matter was!
At Wang Dong's command, Wu Baiyi took control of the Sky Peng Horizontal and immediately set off.
The two Tracking Beacons were placed respectively on the black dwarf star in this system and on the Mechanical Ship Island.
They would serve as reference points.
Then the Sky Peng Horizontal quickly accelerated and, following the direction indicated by the "Wisteria Compass," activated the "Thunder Warp Device" and entered faster-than-light travel!
