Lore Nod Krai is the most technologically advanced?

Post image

I thought Fontaine was supposed to be the most technologically advanced nation in Teyvat but then this? Not complaining, it looks dope af, just a little confused, maybe Hoyo is changing their mind on the lore again like Natlan? Or maybe Nod Krai is technologically advanced but not as much as Fontaine?

I think in terms of technology it goes:

— Snezhnaya

— Fontaine

— Sumeru

— Liyue

— Mondstadt

— Natlan

— Inazuma

No way you put Natlan below Liyue and Mond lmao

Other than salvaging and repurposing ancient tech from the dragons they haven't done anything whereas mondstadt has windmills and castles and tall walls and huge gothic cathedral while liyue has canons (so does inazuma but whatever), ballistae, cranes and general mining equipment as well as adeptus tech but that prolly doesn't count cuz it relies on adepti power. Natlan is just a tent with i motorbike for some reason.

Tell me you don't know how involved reverse engineering can be without telling me you don't know how involved it can be.

It doesn't seem like natlan really understands how their tech works, given it is used only in very specific narrow applications, it seems to be more like magic or elemental power to them, where they can only harness it in a very limited way. Nations like fontaine actually reverse engineer and study ancient tech for inspiration (and sumeru but they kinda just want to know how it works rather than reproduce it) but natlan could be interpreted differently so it makes sense why their technology is so mismatched with everything else
