After leaving Sanchelli's research institute and returning to the streets of the Xinfei Merchant Guild's Main Base, Xu Yi looked around. The faint sense of absurdity he had felt upon seeing the Heavenly God grew even stronger.
Just thirty years ago, this world's technology had been extremely backward, and its society had still existed under a system that was half slavery and half feudalism.
Yet only thirty years had passed, and now he could see all around him a wealth of products entirely comparable to modern technology on Earth.
There were all kinds of household magic machinery in the roadside shops, magic locomotives running everywhere through the streets, mana airships flying overhead, and a huge cargo mana-powered ship that had just left the harbor out on the distant sea...
If another person from Earth were to cross over here now, they would never think they had arrived in another world. They would merely think they had somehow ended up in another country.
Almost everything here could be considered a replica of a city on Earth.
Of course, that was only if one first disregarded the elves, dwarves, and orcs visible everywhere on the streets.
The main reason for this situation was the scientific and technological theory Xu Yi had brought from Earth. Over these thirty years, the Xinfei Merchant Guild had almost always developed its magic machinery along the lines of technological development on Earth, naturally producing something close to a copy of Earth's circumstances.
And this was not limited to the Xinfei Merchant Guild's Main Base. Every country across the Sains Continent was now developing its magic industry sector along the path laid out by the Xinfei Merchant Guild-or, more precisely, by Xu Yi. Almost every city was also being remodeled after the Main Base and Xinfei City.
