Among the 3,074 Flying Devices equipped with Curvature Spacetime technology, 65 were the latest active-duty armed models. On paper, this represented nearly the entirety of the Academic World's military strength.
Put simply, these 65 latest-model Curvature Spacetime Flying Devices were equivalent to 65 Datong Civilization Datong Creator intelligent machines, each of which could easily destroy hundreds of level-two and level-three civilizations on its own.
