Looking at the glowing white text in the Holographic Projection, Lü Yongchang fell silent.
Damn, we'd been exposed.
Waiting online. Pretty urgent.
His quantum brain raced, and he soon "cooked up" an explanation.
"We..."
"We never evolved such an efficient means of communication."
"Individuals of the Enroget Civilization primarily exchange information through microcurrents."
Then, to lend credibility to this explanation, Lü Yongchang had Zero demonstrate it.
Watching two Research Robots touch fingertips and release faint microcurrents, [Ten] understood.
[That is indeed an inefficient means of communication.]
[You must have encountered considerable trouble because of it during your civilization's early evolution, correct?]
Lü Yongchang: "..."
That pretty much killed the conversation.
Yes, there was no denying that electromagnetic wave communication was extremely efficient, especially for a fledgling civilization.
But microcurrent communication wasn't that bad, either!
Just think of how Human Civilization had communicated in its early days...
Shouting, beacon fires, letters...
It was almost too painful to contemplate!
"Yes. Only after we mastered electromagnetic wave communication did our development accelerate."
Even so, Lü Yongchang swallowed his objections and gave [Ten] a definite answer.
[Ten] responded again.
[Your means of communication is very similar to theirs.]
Lü Yongchang froze, staring blankly at the message before him.
Suddenly, he couldn't quite understand what [Ten] was saying.
"Theirs? Who are they?"
He hurriedly questioned [Ten]. "Is there another civilization on this planet?"
A suspicion began forming in Lü Yongchang's mind.
Could this be why [Ten] had forcibly brought the Research Robots into the residential area?!
[Please follow me.]
Faced with Lü Yongchang's questions, [Ten] offered no detailed answers and simply displayed the directional markers again.
Following the markers, the Research Robots arrived on a platform.
The platform's construction style was identical to the fortress's. It was clearly a technological artifact left behind by the
