"The potential produced by protons, and how electrons transitioned from higher energy levels to lower ones by emitting photons—we had long ago reasonably avoided discussing how protons and electrons communicated by introducing the concept of potential. That allowed our science to develop beyond those discussions."
In a virtual conference hall within the Divine Matrix Civilization's Small Universe, a Research Team composed of several hundred scientists was discussing the microscopic phenomena of certain particles.
Their team studied the Precursor rhomboid crystal—the Warp Enhancement Device aboard the Lyra—and the subject of their discussion was Quantum Macro Tunneling.
They had been trying to help Humanity understand that phenomenon, but despite who knew how many years of effort, they had achieved little. Even so, they were unwilling to give up.
Just then, they had used the Lyra's Consciousness Linking Device to conduct a microscopic observation of the rhomboid crystal, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of its composition.
This was equivalent to using a product of the Awakeners' Characteristic Technology to observe a product of the Precursors' Characteristic Technology.
It had already been confirmed that the Precursors' Characteristic Technology product could achieve Quantum Macro Tunneling, so the rhomboid crystal still standing in the Lyra's engine room naturally became their object of observation.
Yes, still standing there—for now.
According to future plans and established practice, Humanity would inevitably build a New Flagship. Of course, that would require many Level Six Civilization technologies to mature first.
These included technologies related to space, Dark Energy technology, more powerful Tachyon Detection and communications technology, the discovery of more types of functional tachyons, new weapons, more powerful Warp technology, and so on.
Most importantly, they needed to master their Characteristic Technology. Humanity had now identified the direction of its own Characteristic Technology, and once it mastered it, it would
