Besides, Dawn Members included all kinds of talented people, and they lacked neither money nor technical expertise. They even had their own internal production base for technological equipment, so modifying a few devices themselves was hardly difficult. To a certain extent, Dawn had already brought civilian applications of quantum technology into use ahead of everyone else.
However, as the world of Kasluopa broke apart and its remnants detached, the effects of much of the interference on Earth had actually been growing weaker. Although this was good news, it would also slow the widespread adoption of quantum communication for civilian use.
Thanks to the conversion setup linking wired networks with Quantum Black Boxes, internet user numbers remained quite high in several major countries of the World Anti-Dark Tide Convention Alliance.
