"Besides..."
The smile on Lü Yongchang's face grew even brighter. "A micro-universe completely breaking free of the greater universe's constraints is actually a good thing for human civilization."
"Why do you say that?" Lin Yongnian frowned beside him.
He could not quite follow the logic.
"If the micro-universe and the greater universe move closer together, wouldn't it be easier for us to enter?"
Lü Yongchang shrugged and countered with a question. "What about the enemy?"
Lin Yongnian froze.
When the micro-universe and the greater universe drew close, they spontaneously formed Klein bottle structures.
Granted, that made it easier for human civilization to enter.
But by the same token, enemies could easily enter the micro-universe through those natural Klein bottle structures.
That clearly was not the safe haven exclusively for humanity that they wanted.
On the contrary, it could even become a cage humanity had built for itself!
"Only by pushing the micro-universe away from the greater universe and letting it drift freely within it can we make it safe enough."
"Without knowing the micro-universe's four-dimensional coordinates, enemies would have a hard time attacking it."
"I have reason to suspect that true micro-universe creation technology doesn't just involve creating a tiny bubble on the Hyperspace Membrane. It also requires pushing that bubble completely away from the Hyperspace Membrane."
"Then some unknown method is used to tow that bubble drifting outside the Hyperspace Membrane."
Lü Yongchang's eyes gleamed as he said, "So our top priority right now is to find a way to tow a micro-universe."
While carrying out its survey mission, a survey ship had unexpectedly picked up a "wild" micro-universe one light-year in diameter.
The news caused a sensation throughout the Human Federation Academy of Sciences and drastically altered the Expedition Plan the Academy of Sciences had originally drawn
