Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

While the President had finished his meeting with his subordinates, somewhere else.

“We have already hired around a hundred thousand people and from our cooperation with the government, we have already been able to buy more than 50 percent of the land required for our projects,” Felix reported to Aron, meeting inside the second universal simulation that solely stimulated Earth.

“How much of the railway network land have we already purchased?” Aron inquired further.

“Since most of the land is passing through the wilderness most of the time, we were able to acquire about 89 percent of the railway network land, as for the remaining portion of the land, since we have to negotiate with different land owners, however, the negotiations are also in the last steps and this matter should be resolved within this month,” Felix answered, as he presented the information about railway land acquisition.

“That’s good news. We can begin the construction immediately,” Aron said, a smile gracing his face. “If we start the construction by this month when will be the closest estimate for the railway to be completed?” he asked after a moment of thought.

Nova, who had been standing behind Aron, replied, [It will take about 15 months if we divide the whole railway project into thousands of small parts and assign multiple builders for the construction of those portions. Later on, when these constructed parts are combined, we can send them to initiate the construction in another region. And if they work in three shifts of eight hours, the work will continue without any break. However, for the project to achieve that goal of completion, you would need about three times the current amount of workforce which you have already hired] she added by the end.

“We can increase the workforce once the project has started, so based on your estimates, it should take about 17 months for construction of the entire rail network to finally end,” Felix chimed in.

“Can’t it be finished earlier than that?” Aron asked, concerned that he might not be given enough time by the world before other interferences would emerge, trying to interfere with his growth.

[The limitation is manpower, sir, although we will be able to increase the number of people in the project, it won’t be cost-effective. However, we can simply focus on a part of the railway that is of the most importance and start the construction by solely focusing on its completion in a matter of a few months. After that, we can just repurpose the workers to expand the rail network, finishing it in a year or two.] Nova suggested, offering another approach.

“That makes more sense. We indeed could start by focusing on the railway network from the airport and the ports to the island. And once that is done, we can then immediately start expanding the network within the city and other cities, finally linking the rest of the country with the rail network. This will act as an artery, keeping the country connected and at the same time, provide good paying jobs to its citizens for a period of a year and a half,” Felix agreed after hearing Nova’s suggestion.

“How long will the construction of the ports and airports take?” Aron asked when the topic was brought up in the conversation.

“For the airport, we can make it operational in a matter of six months, but the whole project’s completion is to be expected to take two years,” Felix answered about the airport and continued to answer about the expected completion time for the ports. “As for the ports, it will take about 9 months to make them operational and about two years for their complete compilation.”

Upon hearing their response, they took a moment to think about ways to expedite the process even faster.

“How about we do it this way? We create large, moving atomic printers and just label them as the machines we made to ease construction,” Aron suggested his idea, wanting to understand how they thought about it.

“Isn’t that the same as revealing our atomic printers to the world?” Felix asked after hearing his friend’s suggestion.

“No we are not going to make it print and build everything, all it will be doing is act as an assistant to the construction project. For instance, it can be used to produce and fabricate the pieces while the workers will be responsible solely for the purpose of construction. This will make sure that the workers only focus on the construction and won’t have to worry about the production of the material for the construction.” Aron explained as he further continued.

“We can also create another one which looks similar to the caterpillar construction vehicle that will be responsible for constructing the Runway. As for the question about who will be controlling it, all we have to do is send ARES members who will be given the responsibility of building railways and ensure that the other workers can focus on their tasks without poking their noses in it,” Aron said, diving deeper into his reasoning.

“As for the ports, we can send something similar to the fabricator which we will be sending in order to aid the airport construction, but we’ll also send another one that will be responsible for the complete underwater construction, allowing for the atomic printer there to work to its full potential without having a need to be worried about anyone being able to see what it was doing and start asking suspicious  questions”

Aron continued, getting even more excited as he spoke.

“For the rails, we can just build one that looks like an existing railway constructing car which exists in the world and all we need to do is have the people construct a two-hundred-meter long railway section, upon which we will then immediately put the machine and send the workers a few hundred kilometers away for them to construct another patch of two-hundred-meters railway again. This way,  we can finally have about hundred of these machines working on different sections of the railways’ network, connecting the rails while they build the parts of rails before they finally meet their fellows and connect them”

Aron finally paused, taking a breather before turning to Nova and asking her with an expectant look in his eyes, “Is it feasible while ensuring that no one, even in the slightest, suspects that we have such unimaginable capabilities?”
