Starting with the defeated female knight

One reason is the bottleneck in cognitive field technology. Let alone continuing research, it's impossible to even expand production scale or add more applications.

The other reason is that nothing has happened in the empire for over two hundred years.

Moreover, there is no threat not only within the empire, but also outside of it. The task of fighting can be easily handled by that group of monsters who are called nobles but read as extraordinary beasts.

As for production, given that technology can no longer be further developed or scaled up, the mages can't come up with anything too groundbreaking.

Moreover, before industrialization, nobles and mages didn't actually get along very well.

The nobles looked down on the mages' bloodline, and the mages thought the nobles were stupid and had been trying to use them as experimental subjects.

It was only later, when Green demonstrated the immense benefits of industrialization, and given that the mages had largely fallen from grace, that a series of subsequent events ensued.

But although this sounds terrible, it also illustrates a problem.

That is, apart from being unable to break through the bottleneck of the cognitive field, this group of mages has already researched almost everything below this line.

Otherwise, if there had been any possibility, these sorcerers would not have let go of the opportunity to continue their research, and things would not have ended up like this.

After the great battle between gods and men, due to the disintegration of different schools of thought and various other needs,

Various schools of thought then began to peruse the knowledge and artifacts stored within their respective schools of thought.

But it would have been better not to flip through it at all, after flipping through it and organizing it.

Looking at the mountain of knowledge and technology, even the scholars fell silent.

"Did we have this much stuff all along?"

"Then why didn't you use it before?"

The answer is that the nobility did not support it, the conservative church opposed it fiercely, and it had no use or market.

In addition, due to research bottlenecks, the research was left untouched and eventually gathered dust, or even forgotten by everyone.

Moreover, it's not just research within the cognitive field.

As mentioned before, although mages do find it difficult to create large-scale, high-precision cognitive fields, they have indeed made some achievements in these areas.

For example, some advanced magical technology instruments are stored in a fixed cognitive field, and only specific personnel can use them.

Therefore, mages are not only familiar with technology within the cognitive field, but also with some aspects of it.

However, due to bottlenecks, funding, and a series of other reasons, it was unable to be promoted and explored extensively.

However, they do have relevant data on some minor aspects, especially those high-precision aspects that cannot be mass-produced, and can even use it directly for Green.

And that's not even all.

After organizing the knowledge system within the school of thought, and even the entire association.

In addition to the knowledge within each school of thought, the mages also unearthed a plethora of unsigned information and data from some obscure corner.

It's fragmented, correct, but I don't know what use it is, and it doesn't seem like low-level knowledge.

Even Aurora didn't know where those things came from.

But after listening to them finish speaking, Tentacle had an idea.

Gu Long and his contemporaries focused on cognition, not knowledge.

They may consume history, but that's all they consume.

[Things that have nothing to do with history are probably of little interest to those slow-witted, super-lazy dogs.]

The empire's history spans over two hundred years, or three hundred or four hundred if you include the era of the gods.

But humans couldn't have just appeared out of thin air.

Not to mention, according to Dolores, the Age of Gods only became chaotic after the gods absorbed human faith.

In addition, there were casualties at the time.

Clearly, before the age of gods, there existed at least a human civilization of considerable size.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough humans to offer them faith and convert them into followers.

The reason there are no records of it is certainly due to the turmoil and chaos of the Age of Gods.

On the other hand, it must also be related to those white lizards that have devoured history.

After all, history is never independent; rather, it is interconnected and intertwined.

Although, through its abstract power, the human empire was not swallowed up by the belly of history.

However, with the disappearance of other histories, its own history will most likely become fragmented, missing pieces here and there.

Especially regarding the history before the age of gods, there are almost no records at all.

Even so, some knowledge has still been passed down.

And if things go as Green predicted.

These are not even the work of magicians, but rather the knowledge that scholars painstakingly preserved to survive the calamities of history.

It's highly likely that they are the group they consider the most important.

However, due to the state of the empire and the gradual decline of the association, it was eventually buried in obscurity.

Now, he's finally brought it up again.

[Wow, that's quite a roundabout way...]

Looking at the various scattered messages continuously coming from the Mage Association, I couldn't quite understand them at first glance.

But even with just his intuition, Green could easily sense the energy and importance contained within that knowledge.

He didn't know what had happened in the past.

I don't know yet, at least not at the moment.

But he knew, just like the church.

Anthropologists of the past have also left behind the most precious seeds in their own way.

After an unknown period of silence, it finally saw the light of day again.

It began to sprout slowly on the land called Dawn City.

However, it will take time to analyze and digest these things.

And that gray mist's heart was already pressed against his face.

So, despite another bumper harvest of seeds.

But for the time being, Green doesn't need them.

In comparison, some of the data and models recorded within those schools of thought regarding the past are more applicable to the current situation.

But this only applies to mages and associations.

As for Uli's case, that's a different story altogether.

Yes, much of her knowledge comes from the association and her past experiences.

Unlike those other schools of mages, she did not live off her savings, but genuinely studied and researched diligently, and always remained committed to the goal she had expressed when she first met Green.

Megastructure.

A goal that the mages considered impossible to achieve.

It's not just about cost and technology; the most crucial point is that if you want to build a giant structure in this world, you must first solve a problem.

That is a cognitive field stabilizer with a very large range and high precision.

If the mages could create this thing, they wouldn't be stuck at the bottleneck of the cognitive field.

Moreover, Uli herself didn't have high hopes for this matter.

After all, it's something that mages have been working on for hundreds of years without success, so it seems unlikely that Green could solve it for her in a short time.

But even if it's not a megastructure, you could let her do something like the large structures from the previous Gray Fog version of the Thousand-Legged God to satisfy her craving.

At least, that's what Uri thought before that purplish-red tentacle appeared.

And after that tentacle emerged.

Uli's eyes lit up.

It was so bright it was almost burning.

Yes, the beacon tentacles that Green made in the cathedral were ready-made megastructure stabilizers.

With this as the core, as long as other technologies are combined, it is entirely possible to build a super megastructure, even in the current Dawn City.

After all, it's different from the Mage Association.

The Mage Association primarily researches magical reaction technology. Although their research is quite in-depth, their technological line is relatively singular.

In addition, its relationship with other forces is not good, so it is the type that has a theory but is very inconvenient in terms of manufacturing and other aspects.

But Dawn City doesn't have this restriction.

The industrial zone is already under construction, not to mention all sorts of normal industrial furnaces.

By now, even the Holy Forge and the Magic Reflection Forge have undergone several iterations.

In addition, there was the accumulation of materials brought about by two major advancements in materials science—one before the year when they developed the magic-powered steam engine, and the other after the Empire's devastation when Dawn City was draining resources—as well as the various construction technologies that were continuously improved during the two construction projects of Dawn City, and various specialized construction workers.

The more Uli thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

So, whenever he had free time after work, he would take out paper and pen to do calculations and plans.

She was so focused on eating, bathing, teaching, and being bullied by the tentacles of her sugar daddy.

I've been spending most of my time on this.

And now, things have come to this point, with Green requesting an air unit.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately threw out the things he had prepared beforehand.

That is, those few dozen drawings.

But even with dozens of drawings, only a rough outline was drawn.

After all, this is a truly massive weapon, even exceeding Green's expected scale and capabilities.

Not to mention that many of those dozens of drawings were drafts and discarded drafts, even if they were all design drawings, the amount of information was completely insufficient.

But that is indeed a possible approach.

Uli had even sketched out the general outline; all that was left was to fill in the details.

Moreover, if this thing can really be made, it will not only be a mini-map, but it can also solve two important problems that Dawn City is currently facing.

Air superiority.

And the ability to take the initiative.

Green himself can be responsible for the underground, and if it is only underground, the scope of his responsibility is even much farther than the people in Dawn City are aware of.

He deliberately didn't perform well just to reduce the group's dependence on him and to take the opportunity to slack off.

Even so, Green's range of movement is ultimately limited; at the very least, he cannot go directly over and turn the Gray Fog Heart into a spinning top.

This means that this time, Dawn City can no longer simply rely on proactive defense.

When the need arises, it is essential to take the initiative.

but......

[Although it sounds good, the thought of how this thing is maintained makes it impossible to take it seriously.]

[Also, what's the purpose of that room next to the tentacles? It looks a bit...]

"It's a prayer room."

Wuli answered immediately.

"It's not just a decoration, but can provide you with pleasurable energy in certain ways when necessary."

"It is also the most critical component in this design, and no technology can replace it."

silence.

Although he had expected this answer, he still sighed after it was proven.

What kind of tech is this...?
