In this Great Voyage World, the human race had never been the master.
In other words, the human race had never managed to conquer the entire world, whereas the goblins had.
Although evidence of their existence had mostly vanished in the river of history, there were still some remaining—such as those buildings outside.
However, those buildings only had aesthetic value and little practical value compared to the research institute.
To be seen as a research institute, it should at least contain some useful information or resources from the past, such that one could infer how prosperous the ancient Goblin Empire had been.
It was said that the reason why Ettoman could develop their Ironclad Navy in a very short period of time was due to their discovery of a steam research institute constructed by the ancient Goblin Empire.
