Inside the Offering Hall's research base, Kong Deming was just about to put down his communication soul tool when it lit up on its own.

"Since when have the Sun Moon Empire's finances been so flush that even funding to develop new mineral deposits can be approved without hesitation?"

Their speed far exceeded Kong Deming's original expectations.
By his own estimate, even after gathering almost every top soul engineer in the Ming Capital, successfully deciphering the scientific soul tools should have taken at least six months.

On top of that, the documentation on scientific soul tools provided by Sasori of the Dawn Organization recorded every detail.
Everything was covered, from materials to fabrication techniques.
All they needed to do was study and understand the terminology, materials, and formation patterns in the documentation.
Once they had finished their research, they discovered that the Sun Moon Empire's current technology
