Don't Mess with That Dragon Chapter 322 - 318 Knowledge and Technology

The tribe is gradually becoming stronger, as the developnt of its territory expands, it is slowly spreading its influence externally.

A vast amount of territory has been incorporated into the control region of the Dragon Nest Tribe, with dangerous beasts, magic beasts, and giant beasts within the territory being cleaned out one by one by the Beastman Legion.

Large swathes of area have beco a paradise for the peaceful developnt of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

For the next long period, the environnt in which the Dragon Nest Tribe develops will basically be stable.

What the Dragon Nest Tribe needs most for its developnt is ti.

Fortunately, after Austin slew the Half-Legendary Realm dark-striped tiger man Vira and pulled a tiger pelt from Celestial Dragon Island, the Dragon Nest Tribe is about to experience a relatively stable period.

External wars will not disturb this remote corner.

In any case, relying on that tiger pelt in his back, Austin has already extricated himself from that war.

Or rather, it is precisely because of the broad-reaching war outside that Austin and his Dragon Nest Tribe have drawn away the majority of attention.

As long as they develop quietly during the war period, there will basically be no problems.

As for the tispan of this war sweeping across the entire Kawa Great Forest, by Austin’s estimation, it won’t end for several years.

Not to ntion the lengthy ti needed for the tug-of-war with the Beastman Royal Court, even just the preliminary preparations for gathering a coalition of the various Beastman forces within the Kawa Great Forest require at least over a year.

In this uncivilized Barbaric Zone, with no unified governnt and endless war between the various tribal powers, if not for being subdued by strong power, gathering a large number of Beastn may not be accomplished in a year.

Moreover, after gathering the Beastman army, various logistics coordination and the subsequent tug-of-war with the Beastman Royal Court would extend the war for several years with no way of ending it.

These few years will be the golden phase of developnt for the Dragon Nest Tribe.

With the absorption of the remaining wealth from the Elf Kingdom, the Dragon Nest Tribe now has replenishnts in areas they lacked, like crafting extraordinary weapons, alchemy, potion-making, and spellcaster inheritance, supplented by the rich Magic Resources within the Kawa Great Forest.

I believe that within these years, the overall strength of the tribe will see a significant increase.

Of course, since the Elf Kingdom’s defeat was so abrupt, much of the profound knowledge essence didn’t survive, and coupled with the fact that the elves stagnated over the subsequent millennia, the already scant technology faded over ti, leaving only the most basic public knowledge.

Whether in alchemy, potion-making, or extraordinary weapon crafting, it is at most entry-level technological heritage, sufficient only to train an Alchemy Apprentice or attempt basic potion making.

But even this is enough.

Even apprentice-level knowledge is enough to greatly enhance the strength of the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Various introductory potions, primary alchemy materials, and basic extraordinary weapons, though elentary, are far better than having no foundation at all.

The basic extraordinary weapons crafted are always more effective than those ordinary bronze weapons.

The basic potions concocted through alchemy are more potent than common herbs.

Although basic, these items have already crossed the barrier of being extraordinary.

However, the material costs to craft these extraordinary items remain quite high, requiring materials imbued with Magic Power to produce.

Even with the mobilization and collection capacity of the Dragon Nest Tribe, it is impossible to gather too many magic-infused materials.

Moreover, up till now, the Dragon Nest Tribe has yet to cultivate many talents in potion-making or extraordinary weapon crafting, so these items remain in short supply for the tribe; it’s impossible for every individual to have an extraordinary weapon or a potion bottle.

In such circumstances, bronze-forged armor and weapons, along with commonly harvested and processed everyday herbs, remain the prevalently used items in the Dragon Nest Tribe.

Now, the goblins in the manufacturing workshop have begun trying to use iron ore to forge steel weapons near the volcanic cluster domain around the second base, making use of the rich mineral resources of the volcanic area nearby.

Once the forging of steel weapons and armor succeeds, it will only be a matter of ti before they replace the bronze armor and weapons on a large scale.

Still, even steel weapons lag considerably behind the true extraordinary weapons.

Even with the goblins making significant improvents to the steel forging techniques, replacing the rare extraordinary weapons is impossible.

For the foreseeable future, extraordinary weapons will primarily be allocated to Beastman officers and Beastman transcendent beings, while ordinary Beastman soldiers will be outfitted with steel weapons.

The potent magic alchemy potions will only be prioritized for critically injured personnel.

For a long ti to co, the scarcity of production capacity will keep these extraordinary items from becoming widespread, and this situation will persist for quite so ti.

"Steel, potion-making, extraordinary weapon forging..."

In planning for the future, Austin specifically highlighted these areas.

Though the knowledge technologies absorbed from the Elf Kingdom are foundational, for the Dragon Nest Tribe, they represent an unparalleled gain.

These foundational knowledge harvesting ans a leap from zero to one for the Dragon Nest Tribe.

With these extraordinary power insights from the Elf Kingdom as a base, the Beastn can gradually elevate and develop more detailed and superior technologies through continued experintation.

Back then, the developnt of the Beastman Six Techniques, the successful forging of bronze weapons, and the establishnt of a dical herb system were all achieved through trial and error identification of a correct path.

Now, it’s the sa for the knowledge riches from the Elf Kingdom.

Those more profound knowledge technologies can ultimately be understood through relentless exploration, potentially crafting a research frawork suitable for the Dragon Nest Tribe.

With solid foundational groundwork over several years, absorbing the knowledge wealth of the Elf Kingdom, plus Austin’s guidance with so modern thinking theories, what kind of outcos can be realized is sothing Austin eagerly anticipates.

Having determined so of the general developntal directions for the Dragon Nest Tribe, Austin turned his attention to the establishnt of the upcoming third base.

The first and second bases have expanded to their limits, signaling the ti for the third base to be developed.

But just before Austin could finalize the location for the third base, Vini and Quik ca together to pay respects, revealing so information that swayed his thoughts, causing his original steadfast decision not to participate in the war to waver.
