If the Daya Civilization knew that the dark star they had been yearning for was fake, and that it had been released by the Silver Heart Alliance as bait, one wondered how they would feel.
In fact, the Daya Civilization's deduction had not been wrong. Dark stars were as important to a Level 5 Civilization as Natural Wormholes were to a Level 4 Civilization.

From that perspective, the Silver Heart Alliance was essentially no different from the Harvesters. But from their point of view, all the low-level civilizations they had taken over these years were because of the Electron Warships.
They too wanted Characteristic Technology capable of standing against Electron Warships, which was why they had begun doing such things.
It had to be said that although the Silver Heart Alliance's methods were despicable, they were undoubtedly effective. The Three-Dimensional Space Travel ability displayed by their Star River, which was like opening a short-range teleportation gate, was Characteristic Technology developed from the Racial Talent of a civilization they had absorbed.
Not every type of Characteristic Technology was like the Awakener's Characteristic Technology, where only races possessing the corresponding talent could use its technological creations. That was a relatively special kind of Characteristic Technology.
As for technological products, many could be used without understanding their principles. Just as someone who did not understand electromagnetic theory could flip a light switch and still make the light turn on.
