"No, no, no, Commander Lu, your idea about infinite energy is incorrect," the expert hastily waved his hand. "If such controlled nuclear fusion relies on idealist material, then the price will be restricted by the availability of that material."
"You know these materials won't be cheap."
"Moreover, isn't human resources also a cost?"
"Well... I understand generally. What does this mean for us?"
The physicist, Lu Li, spoke confidently: "This civilization is quite adept at integrating idealist and materialist technologies, which must have been honed over a considerable length of time. If we could find theoretical knowledge on the combination of idealism and materialism, it would also be a significant gain for us. Our current population is small, but that doesn't mean it will be in the future... someday it will be useful."
"That makes some sense. So, what is their productivity compared to ours?"
