Chapter 42 - What is the Kardashev Scale? (Patreon)

These blueish red crystals were the key to my future in Star Trek. Kardashev was a visionary when he came up with his method of measuring a civilization’s level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy it was able to create and use. In the Star Trek dimension, power generation was often the limiter in what was or was not possible. The Collector power cells I had stolen during my first encounter with the Collectors had been the reason so much of my technology and designs were even feasible. Right now, a Collector ship power core, harnessing a large quantum singularity, was powering both my starship and the facilities on my island home. Unfortunately, I had lacked the ability to create any of my own, despite having the knowledge from the Husnock database I’d stolen. It was a hard limiter on what I could ultimately build or accomplish.
