The Human Fleet hung silently in the Central Black Hole Region of the Unnamed Galaxy.
Compared with the enormous quasar at the center of the M87 Galaxy, this small galaxy's black hole seemed exceptionally "gentle."
After selecting a suitable area, the Human Fleet settled in for a brief stay-[Kuafu] maneuvered the micro-universe and opened a gateway connecting it to the greater universe.
Not far away, the stars transported by the [Star Picker] were slowly approaching in neat formation.
Every star had been carefully selected-from an energy-extraction standpoint, blue giants of moderate mass offered the best value.
Replenishing supplies and maintaining the fleet would take a considerable amount of time.
These were all fully automated processes controlled by Zero and would not affect the Academy of Sciences' regular research.
Inside the Human Federation Micro-Universe.
The silver-white Silicon Ray bobbed within a blue giant-ever since human civilization had advanced to a level eight civilization, it had embraced a life of utter idleness.
Beside this blue giant, an oddly shaped artificial fortress larger than most terrestrial planets hovered silently within the micro-universe.
During long-distance voyages spanning superclusters, every inch of space within the micro-universe was worth its weight in gold!
Yet even so, an almost extravagant expanse of empty space surrounded it.
This alone demonstrated the fortress's special standing within the Human Federation-the [Human Federation Academy of Sciences Dimensional Research Center].
Its predecessor had been the Human Federation's Dimensional Laboratory.
The Research Center had a highly distinctive appearance-it had been built in the shape of a Möbius Strip.
Like the [Spacetime Research Center] established when human civilization was at level seven, the [Dimensional Research Center] held tremendous significance for human civilization at its current stage.
According to the Technology Tree's guidance, a level eight civilization needed to explore the mysteries of dimensions.
