Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 83 The Theory of Civilizational Leap Forward

"Is it really that simple?"

The two questions came in succession; the first was asked by Dr. Wang, and the second by a young researcher on the side.

"Perhaps it was a misconception of ours that we always thought these alien civilizations were advanced. But in reality, they are just the same civilization that has experienced what we are experiencing now."

Besides, they were all losers who couldn't continue. Wu Ou looked at everyone's expressions and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

This overestimation of extraterrestrial technology, though ultimately destined to fail, is something we should abandon as soon as possible.

Back at the Jiangxin Island base, he had already guided Leng Yue and the others, instructing them to approach Norn civilization technology with the attitude of studying its underlying logic and quickly putting it into practical use.

These people, although they are now in the First University City, will soon join the core research institute of the Northern Base.

Therefore, this change in mindset should be done as soon as possible.

"So, that complex technology that we don't quite understand is actually..." A researcher standing at the back said, a look of embarrassment on his face.

"While we must admit that this energy crystal is indeed more efficient in terms of power supply than the battery technology we have, it doesn't mean that their overall technology is superior to ours!" Wu Ou smiled.

"That's right! It was precisely because we discovered various deficiencies in the energy supply at the beginning, which could not meet our current needs, that we tried our best to improve the efficiency of the energy supply in every aspect!" Dr. Wang also smiled.

After overcoming previous misconceptions, I understood why many instruments were designed that way when I looked at their structures again.

"I knew it! That thing's structure is definitely not the most efficient way to conserve energy!" Another researcher exclaimed, slapping his thigh before rushing over.

"Stop looking! Stop looking!"

Then the young researcher spoke up again, "Dr. Wu, what exactly are these things here? Are they auxiliary mechanical devices?"

When the guards arrived, the place was already a pile of ruins. It took them a lot of effort to sort and categorize the fragments, trying to piece them back together like a jigsaw puzzle.

But aside from the fact that many parts are missing, there are actually quite a few other things mixed in here, and they can't be separated for the time being.

This is currently the issue that is of utmost concern to the entire group.

Wu Ou knew, of course, that this was a source energy-powered auxiliary armor, but given how badly it was shattered, it was already quite good that it could recover a mechanical grappling hook.

Helpless, Wu Ou shook his head. "This requires more structural materials. Also, have you started analyzing the writing structure of this civilization?"

"We've collected quite a bit, but..."

Dr. Wang looked slightly embarrassed. Their main responsibility was the analysis of scientific and technological information, and they were not very professional in the area of ​​textual analysis.

There were professionals present, but they didn't come.

After all, having witnessed the alien technology on Jiangxin Island, they were naturally extremely eager for a new historical site.

Everything, of course, should be geared towards acquiring more advanced technologies.

As for the written word, they felt it wouldn't yield any results in a short time, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

The reason they felt there was no need to wait to decipher the civilization's writing system was that they believed even if the civilizations' technologies differed, the underlying principles of their technologies would still be common.

By simply making a comparison, one can understand the technical principles or usage methods here; there's no need for a written explanation!

Judging from their reactions, Wu Ou knew what the outcome would be.

"Forget it, I'll just go to the basic factory!" Shaking his head, Wu Ou decided not to get entangled with them.

"Dr. Wu, where are you going?" Dr. Wang asked as he saw Wu Ou about to leave.

The young researcher quickly followed.

We arrived at the factory section, where an energy gun was successfully rolling off the production line.

"Professor Wang, take a look at this!" The middle-aged researcher's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"This is……"

"We've successfully manufactured this energy weapon by analyzing the previous wreckage and producing it!"

After taking the item, Dr. Wang glanced at it and handed it to Wu Ou. "Dr. Wu, look..."

Wu Ou glanced at it; it was the most basic model, an energy kinetic gun.

Snapped!

Pulling the trigger, a "bullet" accurately hit a piece of scrap metal in the corner.

"This isn't an energy gun!" Wu Ou said, looking at the middle-aged researcher.

Before he could speak, Dr. Wang said, "Well, this is a basic model. There are only a few complete energy gun samples, and they haven't been fully analyzed yet."

But this power…”

Before Dr. Wang could finish speaking, Wu Ou walked towards the still-operating machine.

With his fingers gently stroking the machine, Wu Ou quickly found a connection point for the power supply device.

The fingers emitted ultrasonic waves, and based on the feedback, the specific structure here was quickly identified.

"Indeed, this structure is an improvement over the previous one."

Sensing the feedback, Wu Ou completed the blueprint in his mind.

"Dr. Wu, have you discovered anything?" the young researcher asked as he approached.

"Give me a piece of paper," Wu Ou said, and quickly drew out the structure.

"Take a look at the difference between these two structures."

The young researcher had just seen the blueprints and quickly noticed the differences between them.

"Structurally, efficiency and stability have been improved in power transmission," he pointed out regarding the structural improvements.

"But this change seems..."

"Did you make such a drastic change all at once?" Wu Ou reminded him.

"Yes, that's right." He nodded quickly.

Next, Wu Ou went to the place where the energy gun was being researched, and soon two sets of blueprints were drawn.

"this……"

This single move alone surprised the researchers here.

Of course, Wu Ou wouldn't tell them that this complete blueprint was actually obtained from the 'Memory Library'.

The two sets of drawings were still placed side by side for comparison.

"This is... it's gone from a kinetic energy projectile to an energy projectile!" the person in charge exclaimed.

"This change reflects the actual situation of these civilizations and is also a problem that our Blue Star civilization will face."

During periods of high energy activity, and with the emergence of special evolved beings, our civilization's technology can rapidly improve. If further influenced by external forces, this leapfrog development will occur.

At this point, Wu Ou's expression turned serious.

"If we only focus on application without absorbing the underlying principles and fail to rationally integrate them into our own civilization's technological system, we will encounter this technological gap problem."

And this is also a problem that makes it difficult for a civilization to progress in the long run.
