However, within just a few days, those charlatans disappeared, the rumors were brought under control, and the people were appeased.
Although Chen Xiao and the others still did not know who was helping them, in the days that followed, Chen Xiao led everyone to conduct a more in-depth study of the ancient and lost arts and techniques.
This research team originally consisted of nine mission participants of different ages, personalities, and backgrounds.
But when they were half-open and frank with Xu Qian and the others, the nine-person team became a sixteen-person team.
They found a secluded place in Guangling City and set up a secret research base there, where they gathered all the objects and books related to ancient technology that they had collected from various places.
Everyone had their own responsibilities and clear division of labor. Some were responsible for deciphering the information contained in those obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient runes and incantations, while others tried to improve the existing machinery and technology of the Night Dynasty so that it could better integrate ancient technology.
With his unique talent for mechanical ingenuity, Ning Ci constantly tries to repair and improve the broken devices found in ancient ruins, attempting to gain more insights into the use of ancient energy.
Xi Xi then used her knowledge of ancient times to help Chen Xiao decipher records in ancient scrolls that were similar to the Spirit Pearl, hoping to find a more comprehensive method of control and solutions to potential risks.
As the research progressed, they gradually discovered that ancient technology was not isolated, but rather a complex system of interconnected and complementary elements.
Each new discovery was like opening a door to a mysterious world, deepening their understanding of the ancient times and bringing more opportunities for the development of the Night Dynasty.
However, their research journey was not without its challenges.
As external forces gradually became aware of the unusual activities in Guangling City, some unscrupulous organizations and individuals coveted their research results, attempting to seize these technologies that could potentially change the world's landscape.
On one occasion, a group of mysterious men in black launched a surprise attack on the research base under the cover of night.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao had taken precautions and set up some traps and warning gongs.
In the midst of the chaos, the group quickly organized a resistance, relying on their familiarity with the terrain of the stronghold and their individual skills to engage in a thrilling battle with the men in black.
During the battle, Chen Xiao discovered that these men in black were exceptionally skilled and adept, seemingly having undergone special training. Moreover, they possessed an intimate knowledge of the layout and locations of important facilities within the research base, leading Chen Xiao to realize that there might be spies hiding inside.
After a fierce battle, the group finally repelled the men in black, but also suffered some losses, with some research books being burned.
Chen Xiao knew that they had to speed up the research process and strengthen security measures at the base to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Therefore, on the one hand, they increased their research efforts on ancient technology, and on the other hand, they began to investigate their own personnel and search for traces of spies.
During this process, the trust among the group was severely tested, but they always firmly believed that as long as they worked together, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome.
As time went by, they made more breakthroughs in the research of ancient technology and successfully applied some new techniques to the people's livelihood and military fields of the Night Dynasty, which significantly enhanced the national strength of the Night Dynasty.
And the traitor hidden in the darkness gradually revealed his weakness through everyone's tireless efforts...
