Exploring a star sector is not quite the same as navigating with a clear objective. A reconnaissance spacecraft tasked with exploration will often drop out of warp speed because their mission is not just to explore planets. For peculiar astronomical phenomena or even unusual signals, exploratory vessels will make stops. Frequently, ships intentionally exit warp speed in the most desolate of areas to carry out a series of detection operations.
Such exploration missions are tedious, complicated, and can potentially involve certain risks, and someone of Bai Zhongqi's stature would not typically be expected to undertake them. However, Bai Zhongqi had a strong interest in pioneering unfamiliar space. This vast, magnificent, and mysterious universe—how many treasures and adventures are still waiting for humans to discover?
