Chapter 28: Lighting Up Technology and Brand New Wonders?

"You have dispatched the Falcon Expeditionary Force!"

"Your Falcon Expeditionary Force has split into seventeen teams and begun exploration and observation on the periphery!"

"Your city's population carrying capacity has returned to normal levels; there is no need for excessive buildings and farmland."

"Your city's infrastructure requirements have returned to normal."

Under the powerful judgment of one person, even a team of over a thousand people became orderly once divided.

Because they had already determined to integrate into this environment, a considerable portion of the serfs chose to remain at the Landing Site, becoming Li Ang's staff and construction personnel.

As for the remaining Knights and those serfs who had previous war experience, they were sent by Li Ang to various regions for exploration and hunting.

Regarding small-scale demons—for instance, those weak demons that refused to leave after eating a blast of Li Ang's World Magic Manipulation and lingered on the elemental soil—these Knights had the autonomous right to choose to attack them. However, for those large demon fortresses and corruption settlements, they were to mark them and return to make plans later.

Often, people's disagreements are not because the differences between them are unacceptably large, but because they lack effective judgment mechanisms and ways to communicate.

After Li Ang, the sole ruler, conducted brief psionic questioning and inquiries between them, the teams soon set off carrying colorful flags.

These Knights, holding various honors and beliefs, charged toward the land that was gradually stabilizing.

They were the Goddess's Knights, born with the right to expand territory and annihilate Chaos.

And now, the Goddess's Holy Grail was emitting a green, warm mist among their ranks; this reality made them all hold their heads high, filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

Having sent away these Knights filled with belief, the remaining matters were much simpler for Li Ang.

Wufuruike also led a group of Norscans, setting sail with their dragon ships and a month's worth of food to search along the coastline, intending to bring those Norscans living in the harshest conditions under his command.

If they were lucky, they might even encounter people from a Warband and conduct communication and trade through the sigils brought by the Supreme Wisdom he possessed.

After these two combat forces left, only the submissive serfs and that group of captives remained by Li Ang's side.

With the help of the culture supervisor Oliver, the emotions of these captives were very stable, and there were no accidents.

And for Li Ang, only until now did he truly have space to conduct research.

"Lord, what are your orders?"

"There are no orders; if I wanted you to do something, you should have already thought of it in your own minds. But don't be surprised in a moment; I might have you do some rather great things."

Glancing at his research list, Li Ang smiled at the somewhat bewildered Oliver and shut himself back inside the Observatory Platform.

Facing the complex cosmic space, Li Ang flipped through his mind and lit up all the pages related to scientific research.

And in the next instant, the azure blue representing wisdom instantly filled his consciousness, beginning to calculate the methods and progress of various primitive technologies.

"You have researched the technology, Farming!"

"You have researched the technology, Exploration!"

"You have researched the technology, Imagery!"

"You have researched the technology, Accumulation!"

"You have researched the technology, Narration—"

Although it did not reach the level of flooding the screen, the scientific knowledge provided by all the Norscan research personnel—though it is strange to say it this way, the Experimental Zone and the system could indeed do this—provided countless rays of light before Li Ang almost instantly.

Because the Norscans were not completely unaware of these concepts.

Under the circumstances of raiding along the coastline and constant defensive battles, the Norscans actually had a certain degree of understanding of the outside world long ago. Moreover, with the addition of the Knights, this accumulation of knowledge only lacked the final push.

Finally, adding the on-site data provided by those serfs, it was equivalent to a Eureka state providing 99% of the progress bar. Only a few points of production were needed, or even just one point of research, to light up the technology. And the final result presented was that, before Li Ang, countless production and construction facilities unfolded as if flooding the screen.

How to farm, how to fish, how to tan leather, how to build a house that would not be destroyed by the natural environment in the short term, as well as how to mask one's scent, how to perform body hygiene checks and cleaning, how to search for herbs and basic vegetation management...

Various types of basic knowledge began to emerge in the minds of everyone in the territory like memories, making every resident look in astonishment at the spire that dyed the sky azure blue.

But what Li Ang cared about most was not this basic knowledge.

After glancing at the icons for the basic stage of magic technology and the Wonder icons, Li Ang hopefully opened the construction tab for World Wonders. Dozens of Wonders that could be built under primitive-era technology were listed before Li Ang.

Likewise, there was also the gray color representing "cannot be built."

"World Wonder Great Library (Magic, Hesi Baita) has been built."

"World Wonder Great Pyramid (Magic, Ouhesi Ta Jinzita) has been built."

"World Wonder Hanging Gardens (Magic, Tiantang Huayuan) has been built."

"World Wonder Great Bath (Magic, Ailaxiya Da Yuchang) has been built."

"World Wonder Terracotta Army (Magic, Jixiecheng) has been built."

"World Wonder Temple of Artemis (Magic, Asuyan Shengsuo) has been built."

"World Wonder Oracle (Magic, Airen Xianzu Dating) has been built."

"World Wonder..."

"..."

I am going to kill everyone who stole my Wonders.

Looking at the rows of black, unbuildable Wonders above, Li Ang gnashed his teeth, his heart filled with boundless rage.

Damn it, why? Why do you indigenous people get to build Wonders? But Li Ang still noticed that among the countless dim lights, there were still some buildings flickering with the light of being buildable.

"Does the player wish to build Etemenanki (Magic, Fulan Lingmiao)?"

"Requirements: 1500 Production, 700 Basic Stone, 100 Magic Offering, 1000 Magic, Large Swamp Element Plot"

"Can provide a special status, Rotten Wisdom, to all members of the player faction."

"When assigning citizens to work on any plot with symbols of rebirth and circulation, such as swamps, corrupt matter, or alluvial plains, one can receive a certain degree of bonus to research and production."

"The cap is 1 point of research, 1 point of magic, and 1 point of production per person. Circulation element plots will provide a magic field, treated as a Magic Sentry. At the same time, Magic Manipulation can be performed to change its form."

"Can create swamp plots through Magic Manipulation."

"Your buildings are very likely to bring some wonderful changes to the world."

"..."

A bit trashy.

But what else can be done? Good things were taken by others; just make do with it.

At worst, when the time comes, I will just use magic power to forcefully power the magic technology and see what Wonders the new era of magic technology has to offer.

After looking at the appearances of the other few Wonders, Li Ang ultimately and somewhat subtly chose this building that looked quite strange and had a sort of abscess-like feel to it.

Please! I beg everyone to follow and read! This is really important to me! (End of chapter)
