It's the CCT one. It talks about how satellite relays don't work because Dust doesn't function out in space. That implies that the only power source is Dust. Which... I'm having trouble buying because computer technology and lights all require electricity in my mind, and to me, Dust is an explosive that causes some sort of basic "elemental" energy, like fire, ice, gravity, earth, lightning. Not nanotechnology.

Relevant part of the transcript:

The destructive nature of the creatures of Grimm severely limited the reliability of ground-based technologies.

''The concept of relay satellites orbiting around the planet was promising. Unfortunately, modern man has yet to make the technological advancements to achieve spaceflight, as all known Dust types lose their power as they begin to leave Remnant's atmosphere.''

Eventually, it was the people of Atlas, the world's leader in science and technology, that developed the Cross Continental Transmit system.

''It was revolutionary. Like radio, signals were sent and received wirelessly, though the contents of these transmissions were not nearly as limited.''

So it's not radio. It's not a "ground-based" technology, so no underground wiring. Don't recall seeing any above ground wiring either. So is Dust the only thing powering anything in Remnant, and if so... what, Lightning Dust provides the electrical technologies like light and computers and Aura transfer machines? Or are there other Dust types that make this world function which simply have never been  mentioned?
