Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Research II
Aron sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, appearing to be in a state of silent meditation. He wasn’t alone, as several clones of various individuals surrounded him, each adopting the same posture and engaging in the same activity as he was.To an ordinary observer, it might seem as though they were all meditating. However, someone with exceptional sensitivity to mana would have perceived the truth: mana waves radiated from each figure, varying in frequency and intensity. Aron himself emitted the most intense waves, as if releasing vast amounts of mana—equivalent to buckets—every second.Each individual appeared to be connected to others emitting similar mana wave frequencies, creating a harmonious link. They showed no interaction with waves of different frequencies, regardless of how much more intense those waves might have been in comparison to their own.This continued uninterrupted for about a minute. However, as soon as the minute passed, all of the meditating figures were telep
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Henry Michael
“Are you sure about that?” a youthful-looking individual asked his friend with a concerned tone.“Yeah, I can’t join you on this tour because of the resources needed to accommodate my existence there,” Henry replied, his gaze fixed on the screen in front of them. The screen displayed an announcement for an upcoming tour organized for children under the House of Hope program, scheduled to take place in about a week.The individual questioning him was one of the few close friends Henry had made in his life. They had first met a few years ago when Henry accompanied his brother on a visit to one of the buildings under the House of Hope program. Their bond had grown stronger ever since, making the friend's disappointment over Henry’s decision even more palpable.After that initial introduction, Henry had maintained regular visits with the friends he had made, and Aron had even ensured that Henry attended the same school as them to provide him with as normal a childhood as possible.“But is

“They plan, we plan, and the best planner wins,” John muttered as he sat in his office, going through the large amount of information prepared for him. His focus remained steady as he reviewed each piece, carefully deciding the direction to move forward.One of the documents contained all the information gathered from the brain data of killed combatants and the ships they had infiltrated. This data was used to assess and grade the currently known civilizations based on their strength and their capability to sustain a long interstellar war against another civilization. The document was the first of its kind to be prepared without factoring in external opinions or speculations, resulting in several civilizations being ranked either a few levels higher or lower than previously thought.Another document detailed the results of a joint research effort between the military and the Imperial Mana Agency, focusing on the limits of mana oaths. It explored whether these oaths could be exploited
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Presentation
Inside one of the meeting rooms in a building belonging to the Ministry of the Exterior, a presentation was underway, with a few individuals attentively listening to the speaker."Taking into account all the reasons stated above, I propose the creation of a space station to serve as a trade hub due to the restricted and limited access to Earth for outsiders," the presenter concluded before pausing, allowing the attendees to ask questions as she finished her presentation.“Why not use any of the moons in the solar system or one of the currently unoccupied planets?” asked an attendee who had been diligently taking notes throughout the meeting.The presenter nodded, prepared for the question. “Aside from Earth, which is now closed to outsiders under imperial order, the other planets are either allocated for military use or are too close to the sun, making it prohibitively expensive to terraform and shield them from radiation.As for the moons, the majority are already being utilized as r

“Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” a piercing scream echoed throughout the room as a man thrashed violently, his face contorted in agony. Desperation filled his movements as he slammed his head against the nearest solid surface, desperate for even a fraction of relief from the searing pain coursing through his body.His hands trembled, clutching his head as if trying to contain an unbearable force within. Blood smeared across his forehead from the repeated impacts, yet he showed no signs of stopping.The man’s agonized screams tore through the air, raw and guttural, a reflection of suffering beyond physical pain as he clutched his head, his body writhing uncontrollably. The pain felt like countless needles piercing directly into his brain, an unrelenting sensation that no amount of screaming or physical thrashing could alleviate. It was as though his brain had prioritized this excruciating torment over all other functions, rendering him unable to focus on anything else.Every attempt to dull
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day A Discovery
After sifting through the mountain of data available to him, Aron took a break to rest and spend time with his family. This time away from his lab allowed him to solidify his thoughts and carefully plan his next course of action. Once he felt mentally refreshed and confident in his approach, he returned to his lab, ready to resume his research.Aron was now prepared to use a small amount of his saved SP (System Points) to supplement the remaining gaps in his research. He understood that achieving satisfactory results independently would take centuries—time needed for the necessary technologies to be fully researched and matured. Instead, leveraging the SP would allow him to expedite the process, ensuring that his universal simulation could be accessed with the utmost security.The universal simulation was, without a doubt, one of the most critical assets maintaining the empire's strength. Aron was determined to protect it at all costs, ensuring that only he and those he permitted woul
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day A leap
It didn’t take Aron long to finish assimilating the new knowledge he had purchased from the system shop. However, the cost had been steep—nearly twenty-five percent of the SP he had painstakingly hoarded for over a decade had suddenly vanished. Yet his expression remained calm and composed. He had always known the SP existed to be used when necessary, and feeling regretful or hesitant at a critical moment would have been counterproductive.The urgency of the new revelations, which had reignited his drive, ensured that he felt no remorse for spending the SP. In fact, he was confident that the knowledge he had acquired was sufficient to solve the remaining obstacles in his research. With everything he now possessed, Aron was sure that unless unforeseen issues arose, he would have a functional production-ready product within the next few weeks.Motivated and focused, he was ready to move forward, knowing the path ahead was clearer than ever.“Let’s start getting to work,” Aron said after
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The Contemplative Seraphina.
For the next five months of VR time, Aron dedicated himself to an intensive cycle of designing, building, and testing the tower. Each iteration was subjected to rigorous scrutiny, with problems identified and resolved as they arose. He continually adjusted the testing environments, introduced unforeseen challenges, and attempted to breach the system from various angles to ensure its resilience. Aron left no stone unturned, determined to account for every possible scenario.{We can now say that it has passed level one security and is ready for rollout,} Nova finally announced, bringing the final test instance to a close. “Good,” Aron replied, exhaling a sigh of relief. “Send the data to Lab City and have them work on refining it further.” While he was relieved to have completed this critical phase of his plan, the lingering knowledge of the existence of beings far more dangerous than he had previously imagined tempered his satisfaction. The safety of the empire and its citizens had re

Interrogation
Three Months LaterFrom the silence of space, a single ship could be seen descending into the atmosphere of a large, grayish planet, aligning itself with the traffic heading toward the largest port on the surface. It joined one of the seven tightly regulated lanes, each filled with ships maintaining a few hundred meters of distance, moving in perfect coordination.As the ship drew closer to the planet’s main port, a breathtaking scene unfolded: tens of thousands of vessels parked in a massive, truss-frame layered structure. Nearly a hundred thousand ships were arranged within an enormous open rectangular bay, organized in tiers to maximize space efficiency.Unlike most interstellar ports, there was no immigration checkpoint for this vessel. It glided forward unhindered, heading straight for its assigned docking bay within the colossal truss-framed structure. The moment it entered, a web of scanners activated, sweeping across the hull. Every detail was instantly analyzed and cross-refe
Briefing
{He is currently in a transit period and should arrive at his destination in about three months,} Nyx reported, her holographic form flickering slightly as she finished delivering her update to Aron, John, and Youssef—some of the few individuals aware of the operation from the start.“What plans and objectives do you have for him? What is his theme?” Aron asked, leaning forward slightly. He knew full well that there was a reason Dreznor had been selected the moment the ship confirmed he was the sole survivor.Each individual chosen by the little protagonist had a specific theme, a guiding principle, a source of conflict, and growth. It wasn’t just about assigning a role; it was a bond that aligned motivations on both sides, ensuring the endeavor didn’t become a one-sided arrangement.{Although not yet set in stone, we’re aiming to shape him into a revolutionary figure within the Conclave, someone who pushes for the abolition of slavery, and later, the emancipation and compensation of
“From stardust you are made, and to stardust you shall return”
As he sat there, replaying the conversation in his mind, he began analyzing whether anything important had been overlooked during the heated exchange between the four holograms. It didn’t take long before he noticed a flaw in Hologram Four’s logic, one that hadn't been addressed during the debate.The oversight? Hologram Four had failed to consider the possibility that the Empire might resort to using their black hole bombs if pushed into a corner. Any attempt to dominate or provoke the Empire could lead to catastrophic consequences if their survival was truly at stake.Still, the realization came a little too late. A direction had already been chosen. A decision had been made. There was no longer room for second-guessing, at least not until the next meeting, when the final details would be reviewed and only approval remained.So, without dwelling on it any longer, he rose from his seat and left the ship. As he walked through the corridors toward his quarters, he gave a command to his
Decisions
After gathering every last body from the wreckage and laying them in the hangar, Dreznor finally broke the silence.“Do you have any way we can cover them for burial?”{I can print them for you if you want,} Little Protagonist replied gently.“Please do so,” he said, his voice subdued as he turned back to kneel before the body of his son, small, still, and cold, with a gaping hole in his chest where the energy round had ended his young life. Dreznor lowered his head and placed a cloth over his son's face with shaking hands.“Rest in peace. I’ll join you after I’m done with all of them,” he whispered.He moved to his wife next, then to his mother, repeating the same words, the same gesture, each time slower than the last. Each time it felt harder to let go.Half an hour later, the 3D printer beeped softly, indicating that the burial cloths were ready. One by one, he wrapped the bodies in the printed covers, each fold done with reverence and care. The process was slow, painful, six hour
Watering the Seed
“I understand your reluctance, but my proposal doesn’t violate the restrictions placed on you,” Minister Youssef replied calmly, the confidence in his tone making it clear they had already considered such limitations. “Our side won’t receive any wormhole technology, we’ll simply provide mana stones for their operation. Your side would handle all technical aspects. We’d share the profits as business partners.”He leaned slightly forward. “Think of it as us being shareholders. You manage the operations; we invest and receive dividends. That way, we maintain full compliance, we never come into direct contact with the technology.”“If that’s the case,” the representative said after a pause, “and the wormhole use is restricted within our own territories, then yes, it might be possible. But I’ll still need to report this back home before anything can move forward.”His tone remained neutral, but the subtle shift in his expression was enough; he was already hopeful and leaning toward agreeme
Lacing it With Temptations
The fleets of the Astral Conclave civilizations, carrying the exchanged mana stones, departed a day after the trade was completed. This time, the process was far smoother than before, as the exchange had taken place inside the Trade Hub itself. Their representatives, along with their close entourages, remained behind, unsure when their negotiations with the Empire would conclude, but aware that the importance of the talks warranted their continued presence.While discussions around the VR network had stalled, pending approval from their respective governments. During this period, the empire requested individual meetings with each representative to discuss separate matters.Now that VR access was granted, those who accepted the invitation found themselves summoned to private virtual meeting rooms, far from the watchful eyes of other representatives. This allowed each nation to negotiate without the risk of backlash from the top ten civilizations, who might otherwise view one-on-one mee
Our Conditions
“Should we accept your requests, what are the conditions?” the Elara representative asked, breaking the heavy silence that had settled over the room. The air was thick with contemplation as each delegate weighed the enormous implications of the offer before them.They all knew this wasn’t the meeting where a decision would be made. The stakes were far too high. Instead, they were here to gather the full list of demands, terms, and potential benefits, enough to return to their respective governments and present a comprehensive proposal for final judgment.Masimbi gave a slight nod, then replied steadily, “There are only a few conditions, but each exists for good reason. They’re not just to protect our interests, but to ensure that the system cannot be corrupted or weaponized to the detriment of the entire network.”He raised one finger.“First, we require that the VR network be protected from hostile interference. This protection must be formally enshrined within Conclave law. Any indi
Resumption
The meeting that had initially been postponed for just one day ended up being delayed by an additional four days at the request of the representatives. They needed more time to inform their governments, allow them to fully digest the implications of the technology, and formulate a new approach before presenting their decisions.Though five days might have seemed excessive at first, the time passed in what felt like the blink of an eye. When they reconvened in the same meeting room, the atmosphere had shifted. Gone were the strategies and agendas of the original meeting, replaced now by entirely new plans shaped by the earth-shattering potential of what they had witnessed."Our government is inquiring about the possibility of purchasing the technology," Carvath said as soon as the floor was opened. "They’re ready to hear your terms in exchange for it."Over the course of nearly five days of rigorous analysis, the top fifteen civilizations formed a covert pact to collaborate in investig
Nyx's First Action
“Looks like this is what he was talking about,” the Trinarian prince murmured as he removed the VR device from his head. The thin, metallic trusses, designed to automatically and comfortably adjust to any head size or shape, felt strangely underwhelming in his hands, considering the sheer magnitude of what they were capable of.He stared at it, already dreading the thought of going back to a life without this technology. Now that he knew it existed, how could he? More importantly, he knew the government would feel the same once they learned the full extent of its capabilities.“Any updates on our request for a meeting with the emperor, or are they still delaying?” the prince asked, not bothering to look up.“We haven’t checked yet, sir,” his assistant replied. “We were awaiting your directive. With this new information, you may want to reconsider your approach, perhaps adjust what we’re willing to offer after consulting with the king and hearing his input.”The prince smirked slightly
