"Why do you think Space City has so much advanced technology?" the president asked again.
"Long development time, large research investment," Li Xiu thought for a moment and answered.
"The initial research on Demon Armor was done by Changshengtian, and Space City is a place scarce in gemstones, starting late and relying mostly on materials purchased from outside. Yet this place developed the most advanced Demon Armor technology. Don't you find this problematic?" the president said indifferently.
"I've thought about this issue before," Li Xiu pondered, "White Night City was able to establish itself mainly because most of its technology is based on imitation, and then it continued to innovate on that basis. This makes sense. However, Space City's technology has always been at the forefront of the world, right from the start. I always thought it was because they were lucky enough to have many excellent Magic Armor Researchers. It seems you have a different answer, Mr. President."
