Hearing Liu Shuying say this, I carefully sensed the space of the distant branch base, and as he suggested, I detected a discordant flavor.
If we liken normal space to a vast cloth, then the state of the space at the distant branch base is like a patch sewn onto the cloth. Although the color and pattern are highly consistent with the surrounding space, it cannot change the patch's inherent nature. It was fine when not discovered, but once discovered, it feels awkward.
However, even though I understood that such an anomaly exists in that space, I couldn't analyze what specific result this anomaly would produce. After all, the operation of the branch base was completely normal and did not show any notable changes due to the presence of the space patch.
From another perspective, since it gives the impression of a "patch" anomaly, perhaps the normal operation of the branch base is actually thanks to it. If it were removed, would it then show truly abnormal changes?
