"For now, it seems that we can only continue our research step by step until we make up for the gaps."

…

After learning about this situation, Chen An asked Fuyao: "What content is interrupted?"

We originally belonged to a Level 1.6 Transcendent Civilization, but the Divine Witch Tribe's technology is equivalent to Peak Level 2 or even higher.

[The missing content involves every industry, such as the most basic mathematics. We know the conclusion, but we don’t know how to deduce it from the existing knowledge reserves.]

Chen An was surprised: "Is there no record? It's like when we learn calculus, we won't forget multiplication and division."

Even if a middle school student knows the calculus formula, he or she may not know where it came from or how to apply it.

[For example, we now have a very clear understanding of the principles of the extraordinary railgun, but we cannot build it.]

Each technological iteration can produce hundreds of millions of variations. If we don't grasp some of these variations, we won't get the final result.

Chen An: "To put it bluntly, our technology tree is broken in the middle and needs to be repaired, otherwise the top part won't be able to grow. Just proceed according to the plan, there's no rush. After all, we have plenty of time in the long river of time. By the way, with the technology we can use today, to what level can we raise our civilization?"

[Up to 1.9 at most. The Transcendent Railgun will lock us down unless we achieve a technological breakthrough.]

Chen An understood, and he continued to review the reports from various research institutes and provide appropriate guidance on their work.

In short, don't be impatient, and you will always succeed if you study step by step.
