The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2048

While some of Minos' family saw some of the improvements that would soon be available to the rest of the army, he stood next to Titus in the Spatial Kingdom with other professionals.

Near the house were several individuals between levels 88 and 91 who had come to focus on researching alien technologies.

The Black Plain Empire group currently had two fronts for technological development. One was in the Spatial Kingdom, where Minos was helping the best professionals in his state cultivate and understand the things he had already understood, as well as studying the things he had brought back from the North Sea.

The other group was in Dry City and was responsible for taking what the men of the Spatial Kingdom had already understood and adapting it to their reality, replicating these new methods in weapons and army vehicles.

Through the combined efforts of these two groups, the two vehicles tested while Minos was with his men in the Spatial Kingdom had been made possible after only a few months of work.

In short, the best that the Black Plain Empire had to offer was still being developed here, where the professionals were constantly improving their understanding of the enemy's methods.

At the moment, Minos was with Titus and some of the men who weren't working in a moment of conversation that they held every 12 hours.

It would be impossible for one person to understand all of the enemy technology in the time available. So, several people would study different parts of the items left behind by the enemy, and at each group break, they would share what they understood with the rest of their companions.

Through the reports of different people discussing ways to understand the enemy's methods, other professionals, sometimes from completely different fields, could more easily make their way through the aliens' means.

So Minos was with the group that had just stopped to rest and train, talking about what they had seen in the last few hours.

"The alien technologies are really dense. I feel that every time I get closer to understanding their methods, new obstacles appear in front of me, hindering my progress, and I end up with more questions than answers".

"Yes, I feel the same way. If the understanding of extraterrestrial techs were a ladder, it is as if two new rungs appear before me with every rung I climb." Another person commented.

"I think the key is compatibility. Basically, the problem is that we are 'animals' trying to learn 'human' techniques. Our understanding of these methods is limited without proper bodies or structures. So, I think it's normal for new questions to arise." A level 91 individual, someone who had recently joined the empire, commented.

The Black Plain Empire had recruited 10th-stage spiritual practitioners from all over the Central Continent.

It wasn't so easy to attract such renowned professionals, given the more advantageous position that other states on the continent currently had. However, over the past few months, Minos had managed to recruit several levels 90 and 91 experts from virtually every spiritual discipline.

Some of them were currently with him in the Spatial Kingdom, while others were in the other group that had been working on the production of completely new items in Dry City.

With the participation of these people, the empire had made great progress in these months!

Perhaps the most notable advancements had been in spaceships and ships, for these were advancements that the state of Minos had not received information about from other powers worldwide achieving what they did. But even more interesting were the advances in the field of auxiliary armor.

By now, there was a battalion in Dry City specializing in using these armors, as well as a group of blacksmiths and array masters who were gradually creating armor components similar to these alien items.

Some of the men who had made this possible were now chatting with Minos in the circle of companions.

One blacksmith said. "The alien metal alloys are very special. I have the feeling that they have a mind of their own and are 100% efficient when it comes to integrating with inscriptions."

An array master agreed. "Yes. I've seen myself in studies with the alien cables and had the impression that the arrays in those items were moving independently, making it difficult for us to understand."

"In a way, it's like advanced cryptography." Someone there commented.

Titus heard this and looked at one of the doctors there. "These enemies were able to create conscious pieces of metal. We must consider the doctors' opinions on how the enemy robots and armor work. Perhaps they were inspired by living beings from their world to develop these creatures."

"I agree..."

They continued to talk, focusing especially on the enemy robots, as this was the alien structure they had found the most difficult so far. Even after months of trying to study the robot body in their possession, this group had understood less than 8% of it.

But that 8% didn't refer to the most important parts of the robot, but rather the simplest, most external, and easiest to understand.

But even with the parts they understood, they could not go much further and try to make things. They had grasped the idea behind those parts but lacked the ability to replicate them!

After a while, Minos stood up and sighed, "All right, everyone, that's all for now. I want you to focus on your cultivation for the next few hours and remember what we've discussed.

We'll have another meeting in 24 hours, and we'll let you know what the other group will report in 12 hours."

With that, everyone went to their meditation places, leaving the other beings in the Spatial Kingdom to train, meditate, or study enemy technologies.

Meanwhile, individuals like Mirya and Kyla continued their lives in this place, aware that they shouldn't get in the way of these people or see anything too unusual happen between them.

Minos used his innate ability to steal the energy from the giant bones in this place and redirect it to the men cultivating in the area.

While doing so, he looked at the enemy robot, which more than 40 people were studying at the moment.

'When I reach level 90, I'll try to inject some of the chaotic energy of the giant bones into you. Then we'll see what happens.' He thought as he narrowed his eyes, imagining that such a thing would give him some answers.
