The key was that some things could not be discovered before a civilization reached the corresponding technological level, or before it possessed the corresponding ability to explore.
Just like the Micro-Lost Syndrome that Human Civilization was currently encountering, other races would not encounter it.
And this would cause civilizations made up of different races to have blind spots on the path of technological exploration. The reason they needed to pool wisdom and efforts was to make up for omissions and gaps, and to glimpse as much of the full picture of unknown truth as possible.
This was the original intention behind technological exchange between civilizations.
They had all realized that perhaps, relying on themselves alone, even if they reached the correct place, they still could not find the correct answer; even if their own civilization had the potential to find the correct answer, they might not be able to find it within the limited time.
The present could no longer compare to the past.
These civilizations naturally had confidence in themselves. They believed that if they were given as much time as the previous generation of Voyagers, they would definitely be able to master Vacuum Zero-Point Energy before their matter and energy were exhausted.
However, everyone had now realized that they had only 1.3 million years left. No—less than 1.3 million years now.
Once that time passed, all civilizations would be forced to withdraw from the region most suitable for researching Vacuum Zero-Point Energy. Then, if they had not succeeded in the most suitable place, how could they possibly succeed after leaving it?
Now, only 1.25 million years remained.
Yes. Since the various civilizations had entered a state of full-scale research, 50,000 years had already passed.
Fifty thousand years was already enough for Sentient Life in the Planet Era to
