Of course, Xiao Hongchen wasn't idle either.

He regularly taught these researchers modern scientific knowledge, from basic physics and materials science to energy utilization and astronautical theory.

But bridging a technological gap of over ten thousand years within a single generation was clearly no easy task.

They had to
