Chapter 1458 Rare Purple Technology
Of course, ordinary cosmic-level civilizations are not inferior either, because after mastering vacuum zero-point energy, they will generally gradually master some related technologies and derivative technologies over time as they delve deeper into the study of vacuum zero-point energy.

Similarly, technologies that were difficult to master in a Level 6 civilization will be able to spread to other technology trees as the zero-point energy technology tree is opened up, allowing those other technology trees to advance as well.

This technological radiation is not one-way, but rather involves mutual influence between various disciplines.

For example, at the sixth level of civilization, each civilization has only initially mastered space technology. However, when they reach the cosmic level, space technology will naturally make breakthrough progress. This is because the research on vacuum zero-point energy also involves the research on the principles of space, the research on microscopic and macroscopic spatial dimensions, especially the topic of cosmic energy.

Furthermore, the study of spatial dimensions also involves the four fundamental forces, which in turn involve various related technologies.

The most important thing, of course, is the modification and application of the physical rules of the universe.

In short, a normal cosmic-level civilization must be comprehensively developed and inevitably very powerful.

However, among the 84 civilizations, the ordinary cosmic-level civilizations do not seem to be that powerful. They are indeed not that powerful, and the reason is simple: they did not break through on their own, but rather shared vacuum zero-point energy technology with other civilizations.

If progress is achieved through their own efforts, then the moment they master the zero-point energy of the vacuum, they will not only immediately master space folding technology, but their application of technology in other areas will also be just as good.

In other words, a cosmic-level civilization, if it happens to specialize in a certain field, can easily recreate the distinctive technological creations of those level-six civilizations.

For example, a two-dimensional foil, a weapon of dimensional reduction, is something that a paper-based civilization possesses at the level 6 due to its unique technology. However, any cosmic-level civilization that specializes in studying macroscopic low-dimensional space can also create it.

The pioneers' quantum macro-tunneling, a cosmic civilization that specializes in the field of quantum tunneling, could also build warships with similar capabilities, though their manufacturing methods might differ, or they might be the same.

If it's the former, it might be accomplished through some similar principle. If it's the latter, it can't be said that the individual life forms of this cosmic civilization possess the same racial talents as the pioneers, but rather that their intelligence has reached a level where they can understand the pioneers' unique technologies.

Of course, this would only be possible if that cosmic-level civilization were fully developed and specialized in its relevant field.

Similarly, if an established cosmic-level civilization were to obtain the Lyra from human civilization, and given their deep research in the microscopic and higher-dimensional realms and their expertise in this area, they too could build a warship capable of quantum banishment strikes.

Therefore, the distinctive technologies of a Level 6 civilization are actually cosmic-level technologies, but they are not ordinary technologies. Rather, they are premium technologies on a specialized technology tree. In game terms, they are purple rare technologies, which require a cosmic-level civilization to complete the prerequisite technologies to unlock them.

However, an established cosmic civilization with quantum banishment technology may not necessarily possess the same third-person dream talent as humans and awakeners, because they can acquire these technologies through other normal rare technology tree paths.

From this perspective, the breakthrough in the limits of intelligence that the Awakeners have been so eager to achieve has actually already occurred during the process of a civilization advancing to a cosmic-level civilization through its own efforts, but it was a subtle process that no one noticed.

Especially in the process of using various scientific tools to understand and apply the laws of cosmology, wisdom gradually breaks through constraints.

Of course, races with unique talents often unleash even more remarkable talents after their civilizations advance to the level of cosmic civilizations. However, this requires time. The cosmic civilization needs to mature and accumulate quantitative changes through the comprehensive development of each technology tree. Only then can it create its own unique technological creations, just like it did when it was a level 6 civilization.

And this is what every unique technological civilization within the Star Trek Organization is pursuing.

In other words, if the target were a cosmic-level civilization specializing in the microscopic realm, then humanity's current quantum exile attacks would be ineffective against them. Just like that unknown civilization that built electronic warships, if those warships were their own, they might be able to emerge on their own after being pushed into the microscopic realm. Moreover, such a cosmic-level civilization might possess more than just electronic warships.

Therefore, the Starry Sky Expedition Organization is actually quite weak right now. They are all newcomers who have just been promoted and are far behind established cosmic civilizations.

A fully developed cosmic civilization is far beyond what this group of newbies can compare to.

Of these things, some knowledge and understanding have been discovered or speculated upon due to the progress of scientific research in various civilizations over the years, while others remain shrouded in mystery.

For example, the understanding of the specialized development path of a cosmic-level civilization has been discovered by most civilizations. This is because after entering this level, they found that the various branches of technology of a cosmic-level civilization are so vast that even if the wisdom of the entire civilization is exhausted, it may not be possible to develop each technology to its fullest potential.

In this situation, most civilizations would know how to make the choice.

This means keeping conventional technological development at a normal level, and then specializing in one area of ​​research, or even specializing in one rule or one thing.

To develop a particular technological application into one's own specialty.

Each unique technological civilization has already demonstrated to all civilizations at the sixth level of civilization just how powerful its specialization and unique skills are in terms of combat strength.

So what are these routes like?

The answer is obvious. As the Star Defenders once said, if we look at it from a broad perspective, there are four fundamental forces: the strong force, the electromagnetic force, the weak force, and gravity, as well as dimensions, macroscopic, microscopic, spiritual and soul, and even the ethereal art.

Of course, these are just general directions of development. The actual application of a certain technology must be specific to a particular branch of the technology tree.

For example, dimensions have a whole host of branches and technology trees, such as macro dimensions, micro dimensions, whether it is dimensional upgrading or dimensional reduction, spatial dimensions or mysterious time dimensions.

When it comes to a specific thing or rule, it is the study of a certain mechanism, such as the Higgs mechanism, the Pauli exclusion mechanism, the fermion mechanism, the boson mechanism, the tachyon mechanism, the quantum mechanism, and so on.

It can even be specific to a certain intrinsic property of a particle. In this regard, the civilization that came out of the Milky Way is most familiar with the "identical spin attack" of electronic warships.

What are weapons based on physical laws? These research findings, when transformed into weapons, constitute the application of physical laws.

At the sixth level of civilization, some civilizations had already begun to glimpse these secrets through their racial talents, such as the paper-like civilization that the Galactic Great Expedition Organization encountered a long time ago.

Their "dimensional reduction attack" is a way of utilizing the laws of space physics.
