The "Fatty" project progressed a little faster than expected.
Less than three months passed from obtaining the Demon-Eating Microbe from the Ukemak Plane to the first experiment.
Thanks to the united efforts of everyone in the Association, along with all kinds of support from research departments across various nations, such a massive project went from "drawing a pie to satisfy hunger" to experimental implementation so quickly.
Since this was the first experiment, they had not placed too much importance on it.
This was mainly because the team's development philosophy was not to make everything flawless, repeatedly verify the theory, and confirm it through multiple rounds of demonstration before putting it into practice.
There was nothing wrong with pursuing a higher success rate for experiments, but when resources were plentiful enough, there was a somewhat wasteful yet faster approach.
Once things were roughly ready, they would run an experiment first and see what happened. They did not expect it to succeed right away; they would look for problems during the experiment. It was a little like writing a program—once the outline was there, run it once and see where it threw an error.
The difference was that running a program once caused no real loss, at most costing a little extra electricity. A large-scale spell experiment, on the other hand, required enormous resources every time it was conducted. It was essentially burning money.
The good news was that the Association could afford to burn it. And it was not just the Association burning money, either. Since fighting the Devil Race concerned every country and organization on the continent, the entire continent was supporting the burn.
Only weapons aimed at the Devil Race could bring every organization together for joint development. If it targeted another race, or worked on all living beings,
