What was mental energy?
Perhaps the Insectoids had a different understanding than humans.
In the Insectoids' understanding, it was an innate ability that they were born with. It was a type of energy that they could use as they wished.
In fact, the Insectoids, who had never developed technology, had always thought that this energy came from the Insectoids themselves. They had never noticed that the Insectoids were only born with the ability to transform this type of energy.
On the other hand, if one were to use the term 'mental energy' to understand the Insectoids' mental energy, one would realize that the two races' mental energy was completely different.
If one were to use human terms to describe the Insectoids' mental energy, there was a very suitable term …
Dark energy!
That's right, the Insectoids' mental energy was actually the use of dark energy.
If one were to look at it from this perspective, the Insectoids were practically the universe's favorites!
A Insectoid that was born with the ability to use dark energy. How could they be born with the universe's favor?
Unfortunately …
Just as Wei had said, even with such a powerful talent, the Insectoids' use of dark energy was too crude!
Furthermore, the fact that the insectoids had merely used such a powerful energy to build a communications network was simply blinding to everyone's titanium alloy dog eyes.
...
In the virtual conference room, after listening to Wei's report, a group of big shots had strange expressions on their faces.
Especially after hearing Wei's explanation of the Insectoids' mental energy …
Come to think of it, all of the big shots here, including Lin Fan, had only taken the literal meaning of the mental power of the Insect race into consideration.
Their faces were red!
"So, this device you've developed, called DEAC, is actually a device that allows humans to use dark energy?"
On the main seat, after listening to Wei's explanation, Lin Zhen asked.
"Yes, you can understand it that way!"
Wei nodded in confirmation.
DEAC's full name was DarkEnergyAidedCalculus, which was the Dark Energy Auxiliary Computing Device.
It was just like what Wei had told Lin Fan before.
As long as a human wore this device, they would be able to instinctively control the dark energy that was everywhere like the Insectoids.
Of course, although it was instinctive, it still required a certain amount of training.
This was like suddenly giving a human a third hand. You would need a certain amount of training to get used to it. It was the same principle as how to use the third hand.
After understanding this technology, Lin Zhen had a difficult decision to make.
Should they promote this technology throughout the Federation, or should they promote it in the Federation army first and use it as a restricted military technology?
If it was the former, then were humans prepared to let everyone obtain such powerful strength?
There were advantages and disadvantages to this.
The advantage was that with the DEAC device, all humans would be able to use the dark energy and become like little supermen. It would be much more convenient for people in all walks of life.
The downside was that when all individuals became stronger, some uncontrollable factors would be born rapidly. A single mistake could cause the entire civilization to collapse from within!
After all, humans were still a bunch of creatures filled with desires!
"What does everyone think of this technology?"
Lin Zhen, who was still hesitant and unable to make a final decision, decided to listen to the opinions of the upper echelons before making a final decision.
"I think that humans are not ready to accept this change. Therefore, I suggest that we only use this technology in the Starfleet for now. Also, we need to take sufficient precautions!"
After thinking for a while, the first to speak was the vice president, Eide. He had the same concerns as Lin Zhen.
Before the DEAC, there might only be a few criminals that caused some injuries or even deaths.
However, once the DEAC was popularized among the people, the same criminals could cause more damage. It could even increase the original damage by ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times!
The consequences of this … were too terrifying.
Moreover, the most important thing was that once everyone obtained the DEAC device and mastered the control of dark energy.
Then, inevitably, the Federation's ability to control the people would drop to the lowest point in human history.
If this was the case, the Federation might even be divided and forced to become independent!
When that time came, it would be too late to cry!
The upper echelons nodded. Popularizing the technology among the people was definitely not a good idea!
"Erm … Can I add something?"
Just as Lin Zhen was about to make the final decision, Wei's voice sounded in the virtual conference room again.
Looking at Wei, who raised her right hand, Lin Zhen nodded.
"Of course, please speak!"
"Although the DEAC device can give humans the ability to control dark energy, in reality, not everyone can control powerful energy. It can even be said that only a small number of people can control powerful energy!"
"Is there such a thing? Why?"
Speaking of which, Lin Zhen had always thought that once the DEAC device was popularized, everyone would be able to completely control dark energy.
However, Wei's words did not seem to be the case.
"It's like this. Even with the DEAC device, controlling dark energy still requires a lot of talent!
Let me give you an example. This is like human football. Although everyone can play football, only a small number of people can play football well. Those who can become professional football players are even rarer. As for great football stars, there aren't many of them in the entire human race.
The same goes for the DEAC device. I once created a model using humans as the foundation and calculated an astonishing result!
"First of all, I've divided the usage of dark energy into five levels!"
Then, according to the calculation of the human model, if the DEAC device is popularized among 100 billion Federation citizens, then only one person can use dark energy at level three!
As for level two, the proportion is 99.999997!
"As for the remaining small group of people, they are the ones who have reached the third level of dark energy usage and are extremely talented!"
In other words, the probability of someone with enough talent to control dark energy well is only one in a billion. "
Wei explained.
However, after understanding Wei's explanation, Lin Zhen had another question.
"I understand what you're saying now. Just as you said, the use of dark energy is divided into five levels. But why did you say that there are only levels one to three?"
This was not only the question
in Lin Zhen's mind, but also in the minds of all the big shots present.
What about level four or five?
Was it eaten by a dog?
