Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 747 Gravitational Pull
The most disappointing thing is that the Orange Star Civilization did not share the thousands of years of observation information it obtained from the Booker species with humans.

In fact, what they wanted to give was, after all, to find the location of the small universe, but firstly, they also had selfish motives, and secondly, if they said that they got this information from Booker, then it would be exposed.

Of course, they could also use excuses like "information obtained from the drifting bottle" to cover it up, but they also have their own little tricks in mind.

This is the small universe left behind by a level six civilization. Maybe the first person to find it will be identified as the successor owner of the small universe. This is possible, so the Orange Star Civilization decided to hide the thousand-year observation data for their own use.

If you can really be the first one to find the small universe and become its master, you can just go in and close the door. Then you can enjoy the inheritance alone.

Humans actually have their own little thoughts, and have not told the Orange Star Civilization that they have the key to the microcosm. Of course, humans are actually not sure whether the Orange Star Civilization also has the key, so they also want to find the exact location of the microcosm as soon as possible.

On the contrary, the dynamic picture civilization did not take any action. They did not send out any reconnaissance spacecraft to explore this star field, and in the days that followed, they did not even say a word that the declaration was invalid.

But humans know that they must also be using probes to secretly observe the stars in this star region.

Humans were also worried that the dynamic picture civilization would tell the news to the Perseus Trade Federation behind them, but now that things have come to this, they can only find it as soon as possible.

Some experts believe that this worry is unlikely. The reason is that the animated civilization does not seem to have told the Trade Federation headquarters about the life planet they have encountered. Judging from the recent contacts, the atmosphere of the Perseus Trade Federation is not bad, but it is not to the point where all members are completely like a family.

The civilization in the dynamic picture probably wants to grab this life planet first and then report it to the headquarters. I don’t know where their headquarters is or whether they have any special contact information.

They really have a backer. Humans can only pray that the civilization in the animated picture is a little greedy and doesn't tell the news to their headquarters for the time being, so that humans will have more time to explore the ruins.

Humans are now strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If that Level 5 civilization really comes, they can only run away. It is not known whether they can escape. Therefore, in the process of exploring the starry sky, humans are very concerned about the actions of dynamic picture civilizations, for fear that they will invite the boss behind them.

Time passed slowly in this quiet and tense atmosphere, one year, two years, three years, thirty years, fifty years.
Fifty years have passed, and the three civilizations are still observing the starry sky in their respective star systems. It takes time to obtain the answers bit by bit, no matter how advanced the technology is.

Without enough time, it would be impossible to discover the laws governing the movement of celestial bodies.

This principle applies everywhere.

So just like the ancient Chinese calendar and the twenty-four solar terms, the laws obtained through observing the stars must have been summarized through the efforts of generations of people, and it is not something that some great Western sage could compile a great astrological calendar by himself.

Having said that, after fifty years of observation, humans and the dynamic map civilization have not captured any clues, but the Orange Star civilization has discovered some clues.

Combining the thousand-year observation data obtained from the Booker class with the more precise observations of the past fifty years, they finally discovered the laws of the movement of the five stars. In addition to the mutual influence of their own weak gravity, the five stars are indeed also affected by the gravity from the void.

That is a much stronger gravitational source than the five stars. That gravitational force does not come from a massive black hole, but from what humans call a microcosm. The Orange Star Civilization is a Level 4 civilization. Although it has not yet achieved a theory of everything, like humans, it has some understanding of the characteristics of gravity, such as the infinite propagation characteristics of gravity as a long-range force, and its propagation characteristics regardless of dimension.

Therefore, although the small universe is hidden and cannot be detected by conventional means, it can still be detected by sensitive gravitational detectors. Therefore, a truly hidden small universe is generally not built near a star, but in the empty void.

Preferably the outer edge of the Milky Way.

However, this small universe was obviously not built for concealment, but to leave something for the new civilizations in the Milky Way. Therefore, it is impossible to place it on the outer edge of the Milky Way.

It is for this reason that it was discovered by a mere level-four civilization.

The Orange Star Civilization has determined the coordinates of the small universe, but they did not make it public. Instead, they behaved as usual, and then dispatched exploration spacecraft and scientific research spacecraft to carry out daily scientific research as usual, and "accidentally" sailed to that coordinate point.

But then they were confused, because there was nothing here except a completely normal three-dimensional space.

This feeling of knowing that the microcosm is here but being unable to do anything about it is very frustrating. The Orange Star Civilization does not know how to open the microcosm at all.

It is like a ghost, invisible and intangible. You only know it is near you, but you can't do anything about it.

In the following time, the Orange Star Civilization quietly came to this coordinate countless times in the name of normal exploration operations, and secretly conducted countless experiments, but still had no clue. That small universe seemed to be separated from them by a dimensional wall, and no matter how they called, it would not appear.

Finally, after another thirty years, the Orange Star Civilization finally faced up to reality, and they felt that if they delayed any longer, there would be enough time for humans to find the location, so they simply shared the news that they had found the specific coordinates with humans. However, they did not share Booker's thousand years of observation data, but only said that their scientists had discovered it first through a certain algorithm.

Now, they no longer had to explore in secret, after all, humans also knew about it. So, in the following days, probes and research ships from the two civilizations frequently came to this starry sky and carried out various experiments.

The level of human technology is just so-so. The Orange Star Civilization can't do anything about it, and neither can humans. They have tried all kinds of experiments, such as gravity bombs, antimatter bombs, and various rays bombing the void, but they still can't blast out the small universe.

In fact, humans probably know the reason. It is probably that a key is needed. Maybe when the Lyra runs to the coordinate location with the key, the entrance to the microcosm will appear automatically.

However, just as humans were planning to send the Lyra, which had already retrieved the key from the civilization headquarters, together with the First Fleet to the coordinates, the civilization in another star system that had been silent for eighty years suddenly moved. They directly dispatched a huge fleet of four million warships, heading towards the target point in the starry sky.

The moment the fleet entered the boundary between humans and Orange Star civilization and was discovered, they directly sent a message that looked like a dynamic picture: You have been busy for so long and haven't found the entrance. Let's see if there is any way we can help.
