บท 73: Sharing the Ancient Technology with Allies

As the alliance continued to see the remarkable benefits of the ancient technology in their own communities, they recognized the importance of sharing it with their allied groups. It wasn't just about spreading the advantages; it was also a way to strengthen the bonds among them and create a more united front in the post-apocalyptic world.

Envoys were dispatched to each of the allied communities, carrying detailed reports and small-scale models of the ancient technology. They were tasked with demonstrating how the energy systems worked and explaining the potential it held for improving life in every aspect, from powering homes and farms to enhancing communication and defense.

When the envoys arrived at the first allied community, they were greeted with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. But as they set up the model energy system and powered it on, showing the stable energy field and its effects on nearby tools and small crops, the local leaders and residents were quickly intrigued.

The envoys explained the process of integrating the technology into the community's infrastructure. They offered to send teams of engineers and technicians to help with the installation and provide training to the local workforce. In return, they asked for the community's unique resources and skills that could aid in further developing and improving the ancient technology.

This pattern repeated itself in each allied community. Some were quick to embrace the offer, seeing the immediate benefits it could bring. They eagerly provided materials like rare metals they had mined or specialized fabrics made from local plants, which could be used in the manufacturing of the energy systems or the protective coverings for the conduits.

The communities that were more hesitant at first had concerns about whether they could handle such advanced technology and how it would impact their existing way of life. The envoys patiently addressed these concerns, emphasizing that the implementation would be gradual and customized to fit each community's specific needs. They also shared stories of how the alliance's own communities had overcome initial difficulties and were now thriving because of the technology.

As more allied communities agreed to adopt the ancient technology, a network of shared knowledge and resources began to form. Regular meetings were held among the engineers and scientists from different communities to discuss improvements and troubleshoot any issues that arose during the implementation process.

Together, they worked on adapting the technology to suit the diverse environments and needs of each community. For example, in a coastal allied community, they modified the energy system to better withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater, while in a mountainous community, they focused on making the conduits more resilient to the harsh weather conditions and potential rockslides.

The sharing of the ancient technology also had a positive impact on trade among the allied communities. Those that had an abundance of certain materials needed for the technology could trade them with others in exchange for goods that they lacked. This led to a more vibrant and diverse economy within the alliance, with each community specializing in certain aspects of the technology's production or utilization.

However, with the spread of the technology came new challenges. Some neighboring groups that were not part of the alliance became envious and started to make veiled threats or attempt small acts of sabotage. The alliance and its allies had to work together to increase security around the areas where the technology was being implemented and transported.

Despite these obstacles, the decision to share the ancient technology was proving to be a wise one. It was strengthening the alliance, improving the lives of countless survivors, and setting the stage for a more prosperous and technologically advanced future in the post-apocalyptic world.
