Novel Full 211 Mapping Complete
“Wow”
A unified gasp of surprise escaped from his parents’ mouths after they got off the boat which had brought them to the island and saw the massive and brightly lit port. There were thousands of people moving to the trains since they were the new batch of trainees who had come from those freshly recruited, while others boarded the boats and departed the port as they were heading to their stationed locations to take over the positions of the people who were had been there till now and needed to come for their training as well.
As for Henry, the young boy was still asleep, enjoying the privilege of sleeping in the car and would be waking up on the bed since he was being carried by Aron who at the moment seemed as if he was carrying nothing but cotton candy.
But that gasp was nothing but a mere start of a surprise marathon for his parents as they were surprised once again as they boarded the trains. As they started moving, they saw the brightly lit, beautiful-looking road, saw the grand building rising from the horizon, thinking if it was a wall, they realized it was indeed a building when they got closer and saw the size of the building
As the train came to a stop, they were amazed to see the Reserves, of people going in and out of the building, later they got onto the elevator and were shocked by its size.
As they entered the house they would be staying at they weren’t much shocked after seeing its luxury, his parents had finally become used to the surprises they had come across one after the other in such a short period of time and had almost numbed to any surprise now.
…
The following day in Esparia.
The first batch of mercenaries had already started arriving at Esparia, the only difference they have from any regular soldiers is that they are mainly intelligence and tactics specialists with some of them even being training specialists.
They were welcomed by high-ranking soldiers of Esparia and were immediately escorted to the central command of the country’s military for allowing them to immediately begin their tasks since they had less than one month to do the job assigned to them. Their objective was to act swiftly and not give Eden enough time to prepare a counter against them since Eden seems to expect Esparia to attack them.
When they arrived at the military headquarters, they wasted no time and immediately got to work, starting by analyzing the intel they had gathered from Esparia and coordinating with the spies in Eden to gather the crucial intelligence for devising a more sound plan.
At the same time, those specialists acting as trainers started doing targeting training with the special forces batch of soldiers, officially marking the start of the plans and preparations for their upcoming war against Eden.
This was just the first batch of mercenaries and more of them were expected to arrive within the week, totalling to more than a thousand of them and all of them were going to be using their expertise in their specific fields to bring up a grand plan for victory during Esparia’s second round against Eden.
…
For the past four days, a plane resembling a dot was spotted in the sky by numerous people. Being seen by many people in many cities and villages in the country, it had attracted their attention and became quite a topic of conversation between people, but as always it didn’t take long before they forgot about it as well.
[Sir, the mapping has been completed and we now have an extremely detailed map of Eden] Nova reported to Aron, who had just woken up early in the morning and finished freshening up.
“Good, let’s take a look at it,” Aron said, putting on his glasses and taking a seat on the sofa as Nova immediately logged him into the universal simulation.
In the VR simulation, Aron found himself in an open field with Nova standing at his left, looking as beautiful as always.
“Show me the results of the mapping,” Aron said after he enjoyed the view of the surroundings for a few moments.
Nova said nothing and created a miniature version of the entire map of Eden, with various of its regions being highlighted in different colors with the information of what each color indicated, which displayed different minerals and other resources the mapping plane had managed to detect.
The map had incredible details, going as deep as thirty kilometers underground, meaning that every small bit of information from that depth to the ground and water was scanned and mapped with the accuracy of nanometers, making Eden as the most accurately mapped country in the world. And with the military now having access to the most detailed map of a country to date, this would allow it to be uploaded in a simulation and conduct various training based on the cities and villages and everything with unprecedented accuracy, perfectly matching the real world one-to-one.
“Wow, I didn’t know they were this blessed,” Aron remarked, surprised when he saw the vast reserves of the highlighted regions, this indicated that there was something valuable in every highlighted parts of the map.
[Yeah and although I expected them to have many minerals, thanks to how the earth was in the universal simulation this exceeds my expectations by quite a large margin] Nova answered expressing that she too was surprised by these results.
Mineral Wealth (Deep Ground Reserves) :
Iron Ore Reserves: Reserves 500 billion metric tons
Copper Deposits: Reserves 350 million metric tons
Gold Reserves: Reserves 25,000 metric tons
Uranium Resources: Reserves 2 million metric tons
Rare Earth Elements: Extensive deep deposits
…..

Aron silently read through the list of resources found and the reserves they had, the list even included the reserves, arable land, river, lakes, underground water reserves, timber resources and one of the hottest resources: oil and gas reserves, which were within their Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ), with the reserves being about 30 billion barrels of oil equivalent, which immediately rose them to the 12th country with the most reserves of oil in the world right behind America and on top of Qatar.
[Do you plan to buy the spots that have minerals and use them for yourself?] She asked Aron when she was sure that he was done with reading the information.
“I’m stuck with two options, one is to buy these locations and own the mines. The second is to inform the government about the reserves and make an agreement with them for revenue splitting, this would give me the right to mine the resources and since I can mine them at a very cheap price, I can create a great amount of profit from them without having to spend any money from start,” Aron answered after a short thought.
“Which one do you think is the better option?” Aron asked followed by a brief moment of pause, wanting to know what would be her opinion.
