The last time Ning Xuan and the others were able to explore the New Star Body was an opportunity the government fought hard to secure for new graduates. It was done under the pretext of a joint graduation examination, and they still had to pass through multiple rounds of selection to be allowed entry.
The military had agreed because Space Buttons were unusable on the New Star Body at the time. The students exploring there could only gain some experience; they couldn't take any resources with them. However, the military later learned of the Primitive Civilization Ruins on the New Star Body and, to their surprise, discovered Space Artifacts within them.
To recoup their losses, they conducted a large-scale search of all graduates and their entourages at the graduation ceremony. They found more than a dozen Space Artifacts from the New Star Body's primitive civilization. Along with confiscating the artifacts, they also seized half of the valuable resources stored within them.
