Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 220 Chapter 220: Branding Technology

This old scholar with white temples was evidently highly respected within the entire Sin City advisory group, holding significant prestige. After he spoke, many scholars behind him echoed his sentiments.

Team leader Caroline didn’t express any opinion on this. She was only responsible for ensuring the smooth progress of the academic exchange. As for the rest, these scholars from Sin City, being precious talents, had a great deal of freedom to choose.

“So it’s true what they say about scholars from Sin City being eager for knowledge, a model for the entire academic world. Now I see it’s well-deserved. I understand, then let’s have our research department’s Tia lead you to the ‘Research Corridor’.”

William nodded. After he finished speaking, a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed female researcher standing behind him stepped forward and bowed slightly to the Sin City advisory group.

The rest of the activity was no longer related to William. The head of the administrative department seemed to have other tasks to attend to and left in a hurry after a few more instructions.

Now led by the researcher named Tia, the group soon left the VIP hall and entered a technologically advanced corridor.

“In the ‘Research Corridor’, you will see the results of each phase of our research department. Moreover, these exhibits are not models, but actual one-to-one real objects. Next, I will explain each one to you in turn, helping you better understand Kael Technology and lay the foundation for our subsequent academic exchange.”

Laying the foundation

Many scholars frowned upon hearing this. It seemed like Kael Technology wasn’t planning to reveal the main course yet and was going to waste their time showing them other trinkets?

However, as one so-called “trinket” after another was displayed and introduced by Tia in the corridor, many scholars in the advisory group started to concentrate and take it seriously.

“Plasma V-Type Cluster, taken from [Ancient Relic-051], is one of the key components of the ‘Levitating Superconductor Cannon,’ providing it with a more efficient and faster charging speed.”

“This weapon, named the ‘Thunder Staff,’ is based on the ability to control thunder and lightning from [Ancient Relic-027], modified and imitated, finally successfully reproducing its properties. Unfortunately, at present, it can only produce enough electricity to fell a tree, far less than 10% of the power of 027.”

“Miasma Purifier, whose design idea originated from [Ancient Relic-012], can collect and compress extremely dangerous Miasma radiation and pollution, forming a relatively stable and less polluting liquefied state. However, due to several research members developing physical discomfort under the influence of Relic-012, the subsequent project for a ‘solidifier’ was suspended.”

“This one is derived from [Ancient Relic-654].”

As Tia continued her crisp explanations, Eileen looked around at the serious expressions of the surrounding scholars, feeling somewhat puzzled, especially upon seeing their astonishment at the Miasma Purifier, which only made her more baffled. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

She nudged Renji, whispering, “Doctor, don’t you think these are just so-so? Aren’t they overreacting a bit?”

“No, I’d say I’m now convinced that Kael Technology is indeed quite impressive.”

Renji’s sentiment was not surprising.

To put it simply, Kael Technology at present is like an ancient person trying to figure out how to use a ‘smartphone’. To understand how to ‘turn it on,’ they might have to disassemble the phone and trace each circuit and electronic component, even for something as simple as pressing the power button. 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Renji found Kael Technology impressive because, although he is a “modern” person who not only knows how to turn on a smartphone and use its applications, and what each application does, if asked to replicate a smartphone, he would find it challenging. Kael Technology, however, has succeeded, even if they have only replicated 10% of it, it’s still a replication.

For instance, the Miasma Liquefier, which Eileen was least impressed by, clearly possesses capabilities more advanced than the one developed by the mad scientist they encountered in the Holy Kingdom’s Callewa gang. More importantly, it can be mass-produced.

For Renji, indeed, he could easily create a Miasma crystal with a purity hundreds of times higher, but that ability belonged only to him. However, if Kael Technology continues to develop and research, perhaps one day, everyone will be able to hold such a purifier, and everyone will have the capability to purify Miasma.

Of course, whether this phenomenon is good or bad, Renji doesn’t judge. He simply acknowledges the strength of Kael Technology in his mind.

Furthermore, Renji’s focus was actually on another aspect, which was also the potential reason for the increasing shock among the scholars.

It wasn’t hard to notice that the new products in the ‘Research Corridor’ were all related to one term — [Ancient Relics].

The question then arises: how did Kael Technology manage to acquire so much information and intelligence on so many [Ancient Relics]? Renji already had a rough guess in his mind.

Soon, without much waiting, as if reaching the climax of the exhibition, Tia led the advisory group to a small shooting range within the corridor. They observed a small handgun in a sealed display, apparently the product they were to be shown.

As the scholars wondered, the previously mentioned white-

haired elder was the first to squint his eyes, which, though somewhat murky, still gleamed brightly. He immediately focused on a particular part of the handgun. When the other professors followed his gaze, they noticed that the handgun had three strange indentations.

And on one of these indentations, there was a strangely patterned object that was flashing an enigmatic light.

“The technology I am about to introduce to you does not belong to any modification of [Relics], or rather, it is the [Ancient Relic] itself that we have restored. It is the emergence of this technology that has allowed us to make breakthroughs in [Dream Zero] and explore many unknown territories, uncovering more and more ancient relics.”

“The more we study this technology, the more we discover its beauty. It’s an artistic beauty, unlike other [Ancient Relics]. Composed merely of patterns, when arranged in specific combinations, they can endow all sorts of unimaginable and incredible powers. The researchers at Kael Technology unanimously believe that any other new name for them would be a desecration. Therefore, we followed the name used for them five hundred years ago and called it Branding Technology.”
