One week later.

An experimental ship slowly departed from the synchronous orbit of Puller-452b.

Inside its high-purity vacuum laboratory are a dozen nested grand unified field generation devices.

no way.

The sheer number and complexity of the gravitational sources within the Imperial Fortress's mainframe make this "clumsy" method the only way for human civilization to achieve a relatively perfect replication.

The academicians present put in a great deal of effort to ensure that these dozen or so unified field generation devices would not interfere with each other.

Even so, for human civilization, it is still impossible to perfectly replicate the gravitational source inside the Imperial Fortress's mainframe.

This is a gap in the hard power of civilization.

Since there is no need to manufacture optical components and optical computers, the generation time for a scale model of the gravity source is not long.

...

Kepler-452b Antarctic region.

The Central Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As the experimental ship sailed away from Lepuer 452b, the giant holographic projection inside the research institute quietly turned on.

In the holographic projection, a large amount of data flashed by like a screen, while virtual red cursors were marked in the middle area of ​​the vacuum laboratory.

Each red cursor represents a tiny source of gravity.

That seemingly peaceful space had long since turned into a mess under the influence of these gravitational sources.

To explore the mystery, the spatial arrangement of these gravitational sources is completely consistent with the gravitational sources inside the Imperial Fortress's mainframe.

"Begin increasing the intensity of the gravitational source."

Lu Yongchang composed himself and gave the order to begin the experiment.

Under Zero's control, the dozen or so Grand Unified Fields slowly adjusted the intensity of those gravitational sources with extremely precise amplitude.

To more intuitively observe the phenomena caused by changes in the gravitational source, a bright beam of light, accompanied by extremely fine white dust, was shot directly into the space filled with gravitational sources.

White dust particles diffused throughout the experimental area, and the light from the parallel light source passed through them, revealing straight "trajectories".

When these rays of light and dust reached the gravitational source region, an anomaly occurred!

The originally smooth parallel beam of light seemed to be subjected to some invisible pulling force, twisting and bending within it, forming an extremely complex pattern.

Meanwhile, the fine white dust suspended in the laboratory began to move, gather, and diffuse under the influence of the gravitational source, creating a strange picture together with the complex light patterns.

As the intensity of the gravitational source continues to increase, the impact on the parallel beam gradually intensifies.

Although there are no physical light paths in the experimental area, these beams of light intertwine under the influence of the gravitational source, still outlining the general shape of the Imperial Fortress's main brain.

Time passed by, second by second.

The power of the dozen or so Grand Unified Field Generators has reached its peak, and the gravitational source intensity in the experimental area has reached the limit that human civilization can currently achieve.

However, no abnormalities were observed.

No spatial rifts, no black holes...

None of the spatial phenomena known to human civilization have occurred!

Whether it's the white dust particles or the light rays that take on specific shapes due to the Tyndall effect, they all remain "peacefully" in that space.

Although the gravitational intensity of those gravitational sources is great, their radius of influence is too small to cause any changes in space.

If Lü Yongchang's previous conjecture is true, then perhaps this is why human civilization has been slow to discover this pattern.

Similarly, this is probably the biggest technological barrier between Level VI and Level VII civilizations.

Putting everything else aside, the seemingly chaotic arrangement of gravitational sources alone is enough to sustain a Level 6 civilization for a lifetime!

...

Lu Yongchang stared at the scene in the holographic projection and fell silent.

Faced with this situation, the Tenth Empire could continue to increase the power of the Grand Unified Field Generator without hesitation, thereby further increasing the gravitational field's influence on the surrounding space.

But for human civilization...

It seems that only one path remains.

"Zero, proportionally reduce the distance between gravitational sources."

Yes, that's the simplest and most basic method.

If the intensity isn't enough, make up for it with distance.

What? Why didn't you use it before?

Who can be sure whether the distance between these gravitational sources will affect the final experimental results?!

Moreover, reducing the distance between these strong gravitational sources is inherently a high-risk endeavor.

Given a choice, who would choose such a dangerous and uncertain option?!

...

Zero's ability to precisely control various devices is trustworthy.

At least, there has never been an accident in this area since its inception.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the red cursors in the holographic projection were approaching each other at an extremely slow speed.

The disturbances between gravitational sources gradually intensify.

The increasingly intense white dust is the best proof of this.

Besides the suspended dust, the increasingly distorted light paths also prove that a "storm" is taking place in the ocean of spacetime.

One day later.

The distance between gravitational sources has halved.

Fearing something might go wrong, the academicians had been sitting in their chairs all day.

Every movement of the red cursor gripped the hearts of everyone present!

Time slowly passed by, bit by bit.

The atmosphere at the research center grew increasingly somber.

Suddenly, a tremor ran through Lü Yongchang's heart, and he widened his eyes.

The strange phenomenon has finally appeared!

Large amounts of white dust and light suddenly disappeared into the seemingly peaceful space-time!

Wow!

A sudden commotion erupted inside the research center.

This miraculous scene captivated the attention of all the academicians!

Before anyone could voice their questions, the vanished white dust and light burst forth again from another seemingly calm space!

Then, it disappeared again into the peaceful space on the other side.

When they reappeared, they had changed their location.

These white dust particles and rays of light, like anacondas churning in water, sometimes reveal themselves and sometimes disappear beneath the surface!

This cycle repeats itself.

Ultimately, a complex, layered, self-circulating multi-layered structure was constructed in the experimental area!
