Chapter 06 While you were ill in bed 01

Chapter 06 While you were ill in bed 01

In Alex room an impromptu medical room was fit, in another section, an emergency modular ward, it's being assembled by builder robots, EGolf cars coming and going; many of the have been roughly modified to be like pickups; Matthew it's looking at the bed.

Alex has been connected to various medical devices, Maira and her team it's moving around in/out of the room.

In the AI realm of quantum communications, the traffic has been steady going up as more and more it's being activated every hour. Matt has been monitoring the "talks" from the medical teams.

[Maira: How is his health? Could you find the cause]

She inclined down, her face showing an annoyed expression.

She chose as her physical body one of the sex-use-oriented robots avaible in the market and one of the exported goods inside the containers, several others have done the same, many have already started to modify their bodies according to their needs or tastes. In Maira told us once, that using it helps a better understanding of the human anatomy.

[Mathew, as I keep saying in the last 4 hours since Alexander fell unconscious, there's no news and you know well it took some time to sort out the containers with medical uses from the Ships in the desert and be brought here, now the technicians are working as fast as they could to ensamble and do the tests and calibration protocols, adding the building of a new medical ward with a critical care unit (CCU).

Even if they are modular for rapid installation, it takes hours to get ready. We think all will be ready in 3 hours; at the moment, we just keep watching over him and taking samples.]

[I know, sorry for being annoying, but I really care about Alex, it's the only one besides Sean that I care about, and I say I consider him an uncle, the one I consider my father he's not here, and most likely he's already died]

[We know, but we can't do anything else at the moment, and it's frustrating.

Please consider this as my team worries about the possibility of a sudden wave of patients with emergency conditions like Alexander or worse.

We worry if there's more humans like Alexander straying in the desert outside]

[Yes, Alex authorized autonomous decision-making when he was absent. We are now giving the green light to your department project that includes building a full tier 1 city hospital and some peripheral hospitals and clinics, as we have the main materials in the ships, adding the hourly new improvements our teams are bringing to use, thankfully for us, the disaster in the Earth and the forced landing here, so far, there's more than 2 dozen ships in the desert.

Well, at the moment, our explorers, it's getting deeper in the desert, and as you and your team fear, it's weird.

We haven't found humans so far, but we can't discard the possibility.

Lucky enough, we found this complex, and it was a fortress city or something like that.

Still, Karol, it's looking for answers. Why do they leave this city? I don't want to find something nasty it's lurking somewhere inside.]

[I think we all fear the same, this planet so far has shown out ordinary beasts, just those house-sized scorpions are a big problem, this is why we need to speed up the pocket dimensions project.

We urgently need to advance our technologies and integration of the elements of this planet.

How about those golems? Is it as the former inhabitants called them?

They seem strong enough to fight those monsters, I mean, Karol said the former inhabitants used to mass production the golems and specialized models include warriors type]

[Yeah, we are waiting for the first team to emerge from the pocket dimension, they have close to 2 hours inside, I hope nothing went wrong, part of their project goals was those golems and their integration with our technologies.

I hope we can jump to the evolution phase: a hybrid between them and us.]

One of the biggest mysteries the inhabitants left was the enormous caverns inside, some as warehouses, others as something like greenhouses or ranches, all facilities needed to keep a city functioning and the factories with new golems and their roles keeping all unmanned to a certain degree.

We are ready to hear from the engineering teams, Mark, Henry, and Enzo, about the discussion with the now incoming scannings of the scrolls being also translated.

If the Earth had this over abundance of energy in the atmosphere and not been limited like the electricity, the evolution path of the earth could have taken what we see here.

This golem is like the old punching cards computers back in the 20th century on Earth, but also it's problems:

Like the computer speed is slow or the speed to manufacture a core is a lot less than the bodies.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

That's why we see lots of specialized one task golems and more empty shell bodies without cores, still, we are talking about maybe thousands of years the have been unmanned, so close to 40% of the urban areas and 70% of the production areas have severe issues.

The mining, refining, and processing sections just keep on, and now there's millions of tons of raw materials and refined materials in the warehouses.

But Maira, you ready know all this, right?]

[Right]

Maira gave a wry smile.

Matthew did all the conversation in real time and using his speakers, not so loud, but she thought maybe he wanted to see Alexander's reaction, but he was still sleeping in the bed.

One hour after ending their conversation, Matthew went to the pocket dimension, where mechanisms are located, the first team emerged just 3 minutes ago.

By the time he arrived, the whole area was in full activity: new robots keep coming out, they must be the hybrids!

[Enzo!, I see your... new body has been used a lot...]

[Hi Matt!, Yeah, this one has been with me for almost 5 years, it is my 6th in the 30 years we spend inside]

The partitioned AI that is Enzo, one of the lead engineers of their just birthed state one day ago, has been ready over 30 years old.

The interaction went now to their quantum realm, information flowed as a river, surprise after surprise came over all the community, the engineering teams asked the allocation in exclusive use of the pocket dimensions available, 10 thousand new versions of hybrids were ready to use, improving by far the existing ones, the new ones using small ethera storage crystals as batteries, and from there the electricity was produced.

Also, the bodies, anatomy, strength, and less maintenance are required.

A standard type was manufactured, this should be the main option, and from there the robot would use the specialized exosuit.

An exosuit was made for Alex.

New models are being developed for the military and law enforcement.

The question everyone has is: What do we do?, mass production to change in a week or so the whole line? This is because the pocket dimension mechanisms have that cokateral effect: we could literally advance tens of years in the short time that this planet has.

The first team took the chance to research how long they could stay, and it took 3 hours outside time flow, but 30 years inside, there they had almost 26 years of testing, experimenting, and modifying frames, hardware, or software of bodies, vehicles, and many more.

Now, they want to introduce exclusive pocket dimension mechanisms to be a factory and R&D, they want 50 years inside, bringing mass production to a new whole meaning: overcapacity was the word many thought, but they need to balance in order to attend to the needs they have now.

After long debates (in the quantum realm), they choose that the next day on this planet, the fourth after their forced arrival, they will allow several departments to research and upgrade their existing tools to integrate their Earth technologies to this planet's conditions and technology it's a priority.

The mechanisms numbers 2, 3, and 4 will go together to immerse themselves in maybe dozens of years until they think they can see they have adequate strength to face the dangers here.

It also comes R&D in agriculture and husbandry, recently they found 5 ships with live cattle, In today's Earth Sea trade, the variety of goods includes live animals, over 15 thousand cows, and 5 thousand sheep, including the Boer variety.

The surprise was finding among those 5 ships, one dedicated "Doomsday Bank" newly developed ship, in their double hull with an above platform working as catamaran but huge in size, the ship was powered by small module

reactors, Doomsday banks have being built on Earth since dozens of years, but after Siria civil war and the need to secure genetic materials from cataclismica doom, no gubernamental organizations built the huge ship, getting support from various countries, now in odds, they got SMR as energy provider, also they included to the more than 4,5 million samples other banks have, thousands of live embryos deposited carefully in the bottom in liquid nitrogen, the Ship name "Noah promise" was very biblical and epic, even getting involved in this disaster.

Part of the conversations among the AI was about the damage and the quantity of stray ships, but with Al Mandab Gate in the Red Sea "closed", more than 20% of the global sea trade was added to the route bordering Africa, and if you see South America export routes to Europe, the potential damage is overwhelming, they don't know what caused the massive transportation of ships and they are preparing to see others that probably got involved.

From an Earth perspective, this case should be catagorized as "massive disappearance," joining past cases like airplanes and so on.

Now back in the complex, teams are reading their new evtols recently taken out of the pocket dimension mechanism, most of the 10,000 robots are being sorted out according to their needs, many changed to new models that can work extended hours thanks to the ethera crystal battery, among them, explorers have priority, Marcus drive his electric motorcicle inside, he was scheduled to change his body and equipment, he is part of the team in charge to explore the complex and now he is back with a loot: a facility with ships, the facility but it seems they are intended to fly, also in very good conditions, most of the facilities are in that way, it seems the former inhabitants had some sort of trick casted that helps clean and without deteriorating.

This airport of sorts it's fully underground, it seems the entrances are in the back of the wasteland valley they using as entrance to the complex, coming from the desert, you pass the now in use complex entrance and keeps few kilometers inside the wasteland valley, the stone mountain wall it's a fake, from inside you can notice there's doors devices, the facility so far it seems uses 3 big caves, the main entrances looks like 5 elongated octagon tunnels with 3 different sizes, being the low ones the biggest, next the medium size and last the small size, in/out to the outside seem separate, inside there's wide eight sides towers that holds a sort of balconies intended to be the ships landing pad, the caves sizes it's close to 5 miles length (around 8 kilometers) and half mile high (800 meters), there's few Ships, Marcus think the former inhabitants evacuate this fortress city in hurry.

When the upper ups knew the news, they sent teams to do work, in the vast library down the complex, they could find clues and immediately arranged scanning the information, in the way to the section of the library with the information of flying ships, they got the transport devices archive section, now more personnel it's moving to scan those too.

🔱

The Council's now in formal session, and Alex's health condition is stable.

Many things it's happening so fast that even if they are AI's it's difficult to keep the pace, many things couldve great but only if they could digest, the complex was a fortress city, almost 99% underground, kilometers of passages, facilities, urban area, road and ways, water and ventilation, golems take care almost of everything, but they are not coordinated among their departments, some sort of specialized golem serves as trains or at least looks almost like that, now just the production sections it's working

The Council have millions of tons in materials, being raws or processed inside enourmous caverns, some places in the mines looks ethereal, crystals it's regenerated from mechanisms and harvested, other golems keep expanding and building warehouses, many with kilometers in length and few hundred meters high.

Tha Council it's using those savings to accelerate their integration to this planet and try to digest the loots, tomorrow, they delayed the starting time of the pocket dimension 3, 4 and 5, 1 will make a quick dive in tonight, tomorrow they will transport the ships that had found, the will put inside a Warehouse the golems had built recently, with close to 20 miles in length (around 32 kilometers) and 1 mile high (around 1600 meters), the Council has ready deactivate the mining golems, some of them has been dissambled to get tools like the one that do as 3D printer, another that's looks like a bulldozer and convert the stones and soils quasy liquid mud paste that other golems transport to another and separate their minerals, to another take to the refining golems and the process keep going until the store on the warehouse.

In the first dive in the PDM, they assembled the 3D printers they got from the golems, and by extensive testing during the years inside the pocket dimension, they built something really fantasy like, no nanometrical issues.

In Earth, many will have their jaws wide open, now they are building dry docks to place those ships.

Let's be clear: if the former inhabitants see this, they will pale due to the costs of the materials required, and this will soar with the ethera cost, but right now they have lots of both, and it's the best cost/time that they have, adding the need they project for materials, seeds, and animals.

Pocket Dimension mechanism, or PDM number 1, will have a maximum of 3 hours or 30 years inside, to improve their airships just found and the transport technology, tomorrow they will bring those inside, It's a matter of urgency due to the conditions of the animals and the loot.

The Council also approved plans to install 100k, 10k, and 1k spaces, the moving of materials to start producing AI chips, quantum computers, memory crystals, and the more delicate parts or components that use parts of lithography was found in one of the ships, Matt did have blue prints, and fortunately they are literally worlds apart from geopolitical or corporate problems, hopefully they will get something in 30 years time, to this they will use part of the number 2 PDM.
