well-developed infrastructure at the planet. Only the word «developed» was not very suitable here, rather it was underdeveloped. First of all, this was due to the low concentration of energy there. Modern cities consume lots of energy that is used to ensure the comfort of their inhabitants. This energy is generated somewhere, transmitted to consumers, and partially dissipated in the form of thermal radiation during utilization. No matter how much energy efficiency increases, no matter how the transmission lines are isolated, good scanners will immediately determine whether they are facing a modern mega-city, a pre-space era city, or a medieval settlement. However, here we were faced with something completely incomprehensible. There were signs of modern technology, but it was kind of fragmented and lost in the mass of something that seemed to be very much outdated and clearly insufficient to sustain normal life in such large settlements.
