From millimeter to micrometer, and then to nanometer scale, it requires countless investment and talent, and moreover, it will experience countless failures, but those failures also lay a solid foundation for future development.

Now, they've directly acquired ready-made products, and not just any products—these are the technological outputs of a Cosmic Level 2 Civilization!
