"The Enroget Civilization doesn't have the ability to change a star's trajectory."
"However, we can help you select a star that meets your requirements."
"The Imperial Fortress can move, can't it?"
[Ten] fell silent for a while before giving an answer.
[Two hundred thousand years ago, the power of the supernova explosion exceeded the Empire's expectations. The warp drive suffered damage that was nearly impossible to repair.] [At present, the fortress has lost its basic mobility.]
Lü Yongchang immediately frowned when he saw those lines.
That made things difficult.
[Sufficient quantities of hydrogen and helium can serve as substitutes.]
A line of pearly white text appeared in the projection at the front of the Command Center.
Lü Yongchang's worries vanished.
Just hydrogen and helium.
If necessary, they could simply bring it a few gas giants.
They could not move a star, but moving gas giants was barely within their capabilities.
For Human Civilization, this was merely a minor matter that would cost some computing power and time.
Never mind anything else.
The detailed observational data on the fortress's optical computer alone was worth far more than the resources needed to transport gas giants!
As for [Ten], it had given up nothing at all. It had merely let the "Enroget Civilization" tour the Fortress Central Brain's control room in exchange for precious energy supplies.
Both sides were therefore very satisfied with the transaction.
A win-win.
One month later.
The Human Federation's Expeditionary Fleet arrived at the Imperial Fortress with a large shipment of supplies and replenished the research fleet's depleted fuel reserves.
The research fleet had also completed every "permitted" form of examination and successfully withdrew from the Imperial Fortress.
Meanwhile, the Human Federation's Megastructure Engineering Project Team received a new order from the Academy of
