Evening fell, and An Yang returned to Parlance right on schedule.
It was still the Silver Moon Castle, specifically his own office. An Qi was no longer there, and her chair sat empty, but the projection on the desk was still on. The image was frozen on a page describing the Crystal Card World's method of capturing energy, which was densely packed with formulas, principles, and device models.
To ordinary people, these abstruse texts were bound to be obscure and difficult to understand. Even though An Yang had 'translated' the technical terms above and provided ample annotations, very few people could still understand what kind of process these texts described or what kind of technology was recorded on them. But An Qi was different. Parlance had actually crossed the threshold of matter and energy; otherwise, the proton annihilation bomb would not have been born. Perhaps her understanding of matter and energy was still shallow, but it could still lay some foundation for An Qi's process of comprehending the energy science of the Crystal Card World, at least allowing her to know where the energy captured by the Crystal Card civilization came from.
Regarding the origin of the universe, the real world, Parlance, and the Land of Origin, there was a common cognitive understanding: the Big Bang theory. The universe, originating from a massive explosion, was initially empty of everything, without even a speck of dust, nor matter, light, barbecued skewers, or wind.
Yet now there was the starry sky and all things in existence.
Matter was transformed from energy, and every tiny bit of matter contained astonishing energy, even if this bit of matter seemed so insignificant to us—perhaps it was just a speck of dust on the roadside, a leaf, a casually spit-out mouthful of saliva, a bit of
