The equipment before them was hard at work. A Saronian was being printed bit by bit. With Chu Fei's powers of observation, he could even see the intricate cellular structures, the medium between the cells, and more.
This printing began at the atomic level. Some sort of force field seemed to solidify every atom during the process, preventing the printed bodily fluids from flowing chaotically while ensuring the cells remained stable and precise.
Though he had only taken one look, Chu Fei had already determined that this technology was extraordinary. It even surpassed the atomic printing machine in his possession, one excavated from the ruins and once among the pinnacle technologies of Yanhuang Civilization.
Before Chu Fei could speak, Xue Xingyu did. "I've always suspected that the Saronians' technological level may once have surpassed that of the Yanhuang Federation. They simply failed to take the critical step into interstellar civilization, leaving them trapped within their own star system."
Chu Fei nodded silently. The more contact he had with Saron Civilization, the more he could sense just how remarkable it had been.
Unfortunately, Saron Civilization had gotten stuck at the crucial transition from a spacefaring civilization to an interstellar one. Even when the star of its own system exploded, it had failed to achieve the necessary technological breakthrough.
It sounded tragic, yet for Yanhuang Civilization, it had been fortunate. There were only a little over four hundred light-years between the home systems of Saron Civilization and Yanhuang Civilization. And Saron Civilization had existed for 2.2 billion years.
Had Saron Civilization entered the interstellar age, Yanhuang Civilization might never have had a chance to rise.
Yet from another perspective, this was entirely normal. In scientific research, it was common to be held back by a single technology.
Perhaps it was precisely because
