"Psionic Energy?" Morningstar was puzzled.
Sheng Ge said calmly, "You still don't know how Psionic Energy comes into being, do you?"
"Well..." Su Yu and Morningstar exchanged a glance.
They really did not know, nor had they ever thought to learn about it.
Sheng Ge explained, "Psionic Energy is the most peculiar kind of energy in the universe. Its creation primarily relies on Carbon-based life.
The more Carbon-based life there is on a planet, the more diverse its species are, and the higher the intelligence and strength of that Carbon-based life, the more Psionic Energy the planet produces—and the better its quality."
"Oh, so that's how it is!" Su Yu and Morningstar suddenly understood. So this was how Psionic Energy was formed.
Sheng Ge added, "This is precisely the weakness of mech civilizations.
Although mech civilizations possess highly advanced technology and far surpass Carbon-based life in scientific research, they have one enormous flaw: they cannot produce Psionic Energy.
Take the current planet, Grella-13, as an example. If there were no Carbon-based life on the planet, not even a trace of Psionic Energy would be produced.
This was also why intelligent life, rather than mechs, formed the main body of the Singer Supercluster.
Without Psionic Energy, what could we Carbon-based life use to compete with mechs?"
"Uh, Lord Holy Song..." Su Yu had wanted to point out that Sheng Ge's true body was not Carbon-based life!
As a Super AI, Sheng Ge was actually more similar to Crystal Blue's mechs.
However, Su Yu did not say it aloud.
What if saying it gave Sheng Ge some terrible idea? That would be a grave sin!
After pausing for a moment, Su Yu looked down at the ground and changed the subject. "No wonder Crystal Blue keeps so many intelligent beings in captivity.
