Chapter 213 The True Origin of the Heavy Object (Part 2)
"Yes, you are right."

Jin nodded slightly, indicating that Gu Wei's guess was correct.

As she said.

Although we do not yet have 100% accurate evidence, this is probably the most reasonable inference.

The director of the Royal Institute needs to monitor, study, and summarize the information carried by members of the Persian royal family in real time. Therefore, it is the position with the highest requirements for scientific research ability among the three guardians, and only top scholars can hold the position.

The main infiltration direction of the Alliance Pact happens to be the scientific research field. In this case, the probability that a certain director of the Royal Institute is a member of the Alliance Pact is not low. After all, the Watchers have been established for more than 30,000 years, which means there have been several hundred or even nearly a thousand people.

After obtaining information about Perska.

The alliance then took advantage of the scheme already laid out by the Kingdom of Bhikkhu to achieve its own goals.

This is the Persian card.
The whole truth.

"In short, that's about it. There are only some differences in the details," Jin nodded to Gu Wei and then turned her attention to something else: "Let's put the topic of the alliance meeting aside for now and discuss more practical issues. How should we deal with this thing?"

Gu Wei followed Jin's gaze and discovered that what she was pointing to was...
The large black orb left behind by Melendorth.

It was a source of information collected from members of the Bosca royal family, and also a so-called heavy object that the Aurora Federation sent away before its destruction.

To be more precise, it should be a nearly complete heavy object—after all, it's still missing information about Ophelia.

“Oh right,” Gu Wei blinked a couple of times, belatedly realizing that Jin had focused her attention on the big black ball: “Jin, what exactly is this so-called heavy object?”

Perhaps it was because he was too eager to know the truth about Boska.

Over the past period, Gu Wei had heard Jin mention the concept of heavy objects quite often, but subconsciously ignored their specific meaning and focused on the context of the events.

It wasn't until Jin mentioned it that he realized he had overlooked such an important matter.

Not an exaggeration.

It is the root of all evil.
The infamous War of the Betrayer was sparked by it, and the Bosca civilization was also affected, being kept in captivity for over 30,000 years without gaining freedom. Now it has also become involved with the Covenant, a terrorist organization.
What magic does this seemingly dark little ball possess that can bring about so many events?

"Huh? After all I've said, you still haven't guessed its origin?"

In response to Gu Wei's question, Jin countered with a question: "Both parties in the War of Betrayer are top-tier seventh-order civilizations in the Star Sea. The Kingdom of Biqiuli has yet to salvage its interstellar image due to its betrayal, and now it's defying the world by keeping Persian as a captive. What else could it be?"

Gu Wei was stunned.

After regaining his senses, his brain began to work at lightning speed.

Two top-tier, seventh-order civilizations.
Um? ? ? ?

A top-tier, seventh-order civilization?!

Suddenly.

Gu Wei realized something, suddenly looked up and stared at Jin, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth:

"Could it be polarized fracture energy?"

As he said this, Gu Wei could feel his cheeks trembling slightly.

Yes
Besides polarized fissure energy, what else could cause two top-tier seventh-order civilizations to turn against each other?

To know.

The Star Alliance's civilization assessment framework is quite unique, resembling an American football or a spindle shape overall—the advancement requirements for low- and high-level civilizations are quite simple, while those for mid-level civilizations are extremely complex.

For example, the definition of a first-order civilization is the formation of a feudal state, while a second-order civilization can advance simply by recognizing the micro-framework.

The transition from third to fourth order, and from fourth to fifth order, becomes much more complex.

For example, it may be necessary to consider the collection efficiency, achieve bidirectional conversion of matter and energy while ensuring that the mass-energy loss rate meets certain conditions, or to construct a stellar engine to achieve overall displacement of the star system, etc.
However, when it comes to advancing from the seventh to the eighth rank, the conditions become quite clear:

It has only one requirement: to master polarized fracture energy.

Of course.

This is merely a succinct statement at the textual level.

The difficulty of achieving polarization rift energy in reality can be roughly understood by comparing it with the entire history of the universe—in the hundreds of billions of years since the birth of the universe, apart from the first civilization, there are only three cluster civilizations that have mastered polarization rift energy.

That is, [Zhou], [Xu Guang], and Xing Hai.

Apart from these three peak civilizations, the other civilizations with the highest achievements have only reached the top level of the seventh tier.

True.

One reason for this situation is that many civilizations were killed in their infancy by creatures from the upper space, failing to realize their potential—for example, those nine non-eighth-order cluster civilizations destroyed by the invaders might have had even greater potential than Xinghai or even Zhou.

However, 'survival' is a necessary test that a group needs to face in the process of development, and the technical threshold of polarized fracture energy itself is also an objective fact.

Furthermore, the thickness of the barrier to polarized fissure energy can be seen from the population structure of the Star Alliance.

Once civilizations reach the level of interstellar development, technological exchange between civilizations will be very frequent. In many cases, technological barriers can even be considered a false proposition. For example, if a second-order civilization wants to break through to the third order, it can use trade to exchange for the corresponding technology from a higher-order civilization if it has sufficient resources.

It is precisely for this reason that there are more than 400 seventh-order civilizations in the Star Sea—excluding [Zhou] and [Xu Guang], the total number of seventh-order civilizations in this universe throughout history may not even be that many.

This is an inevitable result of technological interoperability; to put it bluntly, if you live long enough, everyone can benefit from it.

However, this logic does not hold true when considering polarized fracture energy:

Even within the Starsea cluster civilization, only nine Arbitrator civilizations possess the ability to master polarized rift energy.

Countless seventh-order civilizations have devoted all their resources and spent tens or even hundreds of thousands of years researching, yet they still haven't been able to even touch the threshold of polarized fissure energy.
Therefore, the same principle applies.

Only the allure of polarized rift energy could lead a top-tier, seventh-order civilization to betray its allies, even at the cost of initiating a super war that would affect countless star systems.
You're right.

Then, under Gu Wei's gaze.

Jin slowly walked to the side of the large black sphere of light, stared at it for a long while, and then sighed with deep emotion:
"That's right, it's the core component that unlocks polarized fissure energy, and its scientific name is the Wirtz polar singularity."

Note:
I'm having surgery in a few days, I hope it goes well. I also sprained my ankle today.
