A Big Surprise?
When Lü Kuan arrived at the Administrator's Office with a trace of suspicion, the massive object inside indeed did not disappoint him.
"This is the Industrial Core?"
Lü Kuan's face was filled with astonishment. He was somewhat shaken that Blue Star had developed such a monster after he left.
This seemingly clumsy core.
It was undoubtedly a combination of cutting-edge technology and top-tier manufacturing, bringing human ingenuity into full play.
It could even be treated as the prerequisite Technology Tree for modular technology.
Aside from its abysmal maintainability, which was impossible to describe in words, its other conveniences were practically identical.
"Was there no news about core research and development when you left?"
"Of course not. This is a product of a later generation." Lü Kuan honestly shook his head, then added, "And don't forget, a full three hundred years passed between our departure and the research of this thing. Try counting three hundred years backward from Earth's modern history. You'll understand how I felt when I saw this thing."
Counting three hundred years backward from Earth's modern era, using the year 2000 as the reference, brought one to 1700—the era when the Ming Dynasty still ruled.
With Lü Kuan's comparison, Su Mo immediately understood the relationship between the core and the era he had lived in.
It could be said that there was no relationship at all.
Back then, he had no idea which direction the Technology Tree was developing in. How could it have reached such cutting-edge technology? Perhaps even the concept had not yet been completed. It had only been proposed after technology advanced step by step to that point.
Still, using the Industrial Core did not require much understanding. Its operation was practically the same as modular technology.
All they needed to do
