Speculation about the capabilities of Electron Warships also made humanity reflect on the direction of its computer development and its energy transmission technology.

Humanity's computers now followed the photonic quantum route, that was true, but at their core they still used electricity, and energy transmission was still all electrical energy and circuits.

So, considering that Electron Warships might possess absurdly powerful electronic interference capabilities, humanity began to worry that its entire energy supply system could run into problems.

The scientists in the Computer Field were under immense pressure because of it.

Humanity was only a Level 4 Civilization now. Whether it could even reach the level of a Level Six Civilization was still uncertain, so this concern might have seemed no different from groundless worry, but that did not stop people from thinking about it.

Thinking about it would have been one thing, but they even wanted to change humanity's entire means of energy transmission. If they succeeded, they would abandon electrical energy altogether, which would be equivalent to tearing down and rebuilding every piece of equipment. But how could that be easy? Leaving aside whether such a path even existed, humanity did not know how to take it even if it did, since technological development throughout human history had revolved around electricity.

Perhaps they could take the route of light energy?

Many people thought so, but no one had any idea how to proceed.

Still, the existence of Electron Warships was one of the reasons many people opposed bodily mechanization.

It had to be said that the civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy were rather tragic. Civilizations in other galaxies did not have this concern, since other galaxies had no Electron Warships. The civilizations of the Triangulum Galaxy, for instance, had no such worries. That was precisely why the
