"The potential generated by protons, and how electrons dropped from high energy levels to lower ones by emitting photons—we had long ago reasonably sidestepped the question of how protons and electrons communicated by introducing the concept of potential. That allowed our science to develop beyond those debates."
Inside the Divine Matrix Civilization's Small Universe, a Research Team composed of several hundred scientists was discussing the microscopic behavior of certain particles in a virtual venue belonging to Human Civilization.
Their team studied the Precursor rhomboid crystal—the Warp Enhancement Device aboard the Lyra—and their discussion concerned Quantum Macro Tunneling.
They had tried 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 further understand its composition.
Doing so 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 could accomplish Quantum Macro Tunneling, so the rhomboid crystal still standing in the Lyra's engine room naturally became the subject of observation.
Yes, still standing there—for now.
According to future plans, humanity would inevitably build a New Flagship, as was customary. Of course, that could only happen once many Level Six Civilization technologies had matured.
Such as certain spatial technologies, Dark Energy technology, more powerful Tachyon Detection and communications technology, the discovery of more functional types of Tachyons, new weapons, stronger Warp technology, and so on.
Most importantly, there was mastery of Characteristic Technology. Humanity had now clarified the direction of its own Characteristic Technology. Once it was mastered, it would certainly be installed on the
