One month later.
Escorted by dozens of asteroid-class [Golden Crow] battleships, a lone small starship slowly emerged from the [Dimensional Strike Ship] fleet.
Concerned about the stability of the Two-Dimensional Core containment devices inside them, the Academy of Sciences had not upgraded these Dimensional Strike Ships.
Even now, their capabilities remained within the bounds of a level two civilization.
As a result, the [Golden Crow] battleships escorting them had to keep the thrust of their Antimatter Engines as low as possible, lest they accidentally leave their charge behind.
With the large starships escorting it with extreme caution, the small starship arrived near the Ice Giant.
To accommodate the upcoming research, all personnel inside the Ice Giant had already evacuated, leaving only a few robots carrying out production and mining tasks.
Inside the First Laboratory of the Dawn Star Academy of Sciences.
Lü Yongchang, Fang Xu, and the others watched the enormous Holographic Projection at the front of the laboratory with grave expressions.
In the projection, dozens of robots were installing various detection instruments under Zero's control.
"What do you think it uses to contain the Two-Dimensional Fragment?"
Without turning his head, Lü Yongchang quietly asked Fang Xu beside him.
A thoughtful look flashed through Fang Xu's eyes.
After wrestling with the question for a moment, he replied uncertainly, "Probably... gravity?"
Lü Yongchang fell silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "No, I don't think it's gravity."
"Remember when the Two-Dimensional Fragment attacked the Lator Civilization's flagship?"
"The Gravity Shield on that flagship didn't stop it at all."
Fang Xu frowned and countered, "Maybe their Gravity Shield wasn't powerful enough, so the deflection was too weak."
"A Gravity Shield generated by a level four civilization isn't on the same order of magnitude as one from a level seven
