In an age of mind-over-matter interference, even successfully developed Quantum Computers could only operate within a ruleless field, at an exorbitant cost. The World Cube, however, had no such restriction.
Computing power was an important part of academic research. With enough of it, even somewhat inferior algorithms could work miracles through brute force, grinding out answers through sheer computation.
Thus, the World Cube made all the major technology civilizations green with envy.
But the Shangbu Civilization was asking for 8,000 Sources of the World, and they had to be genuine Sources of the World!
That condition alone put it beyond the reach of almost every civilization.
With their connection to Zhang Ming, however, perhaps they could pay in Wanhai Coins. Even a slightly higher price would be worth it.
There was also the unique technology called the Silent Observer, likewise from some advanced civilization, which could monitor an entire world.
Naturally, it was not intended to monitor civilians, but outsiders such as Shadow Beasts, to better protect the world.
Then there was the Furnace of All Things, self-repairing reverse entropy technology...
In short, the technologies the Shangbu Civilization had brought over from other world clusters were all quite impressive.
Of course they were. Otherwise, they might not even earn back the shipping costs.
"If we really make that much, we could certainly buy some impressive technology."
The Snake People's leader, Heikui, flicked his tongue. Despite his wild delight, he threw cold water on the idea. "But wouldn't buying technology like that be too extravagant for a single civilization?"
That was true. Even if each civilization's investment of 10,000 produced a profit of 120,000, buying things individually would soon exhaust it.
What if they bought them together?
The World Cube had parallel computing capabilities and could serve more civilizations simultaneously.
