Ancient Technology is a quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard.
Walkthrough
To start this quest, "A New Order" must have been completed. Speak to Sorine Jurard to begin the quest and she will explain that she has located a schematic that can provide a new upgrade or ammunition type for the crossbow. She asks the Dragonborn to retrieve it from a radiant location, typically a Dwemer Ruin or bandit stronghold. The chosen location can also be a part of another DLC.
The schematic is always located inside the boss level chest at the radiant location, sometimes guarded by a boss level enemy, such as a bandit chief. A Dwarven haul note alongside various pieces of Dwemer metal may also be in the chest.
Once the schematic has been obtained, deliver it to Sorine in return for a leveled piece of enchanted armor or weapon. She will also teach the Dragonborn how to craft the item in question, provided the corresponding Smithing perk has been unlocked. This quest will repeat six times, and each instance will grant a single upgrade or ammunition type.
However, it is possible to find a schematic and associated goods in a chest randomly before speaking to Sorine Jurard to officially begin the quest ("A New Order" needs to have been completed before this may occur). If this happens, the quest will begin when the schematic is obtained, indicating that the Dragonborn should return to Sorine Jurard.
