Inside the High Council meeting room, Matt, Serena, Mark, Joe, Lidia, and Johannes start their meeting.
Virtual remote meetings are also part of their administration, but Alex has them do at least one every 2 days. When this rush slows down, they probably do it once a week or every 2 weeks.
Matt: [I would like to start with the latest news from the Engineering and Sciences Departments about the D-D Fusion reactors successful installation and tests to start operations in 2 hours; this would allow us to have more freedom to scale up our forces and everything this implies; please include the proposals too. Mark, can you give us a short briefing, please?]
Mark: [Hello, yes, we are ready to start operations in sections 01, 03, 04, 06, 07, 08, 09, and Alvair City, each having their own D-D Fusion Reactor with 10 GWh capacity.
At the same time, in 2 hours, we are asking permission to activate 2 million more AI's with robot-golem bodies and the auxiliary or complementary equipment.
We also propose that 1.2 million of the new activating citizens come to the Engineering, Industry, and Agriculture Departments. With too many projects in the queue, we really need manpower, and the main problem is solved, meaning energy.
Matt: [Lidia, Johannes, how are your needs of manpower?]
Lidia: [We can wait; the last reinforcements were enough.]
Johannes: [We urgently need more. After the last battles, we lost almost 35,000 soldiers; thankfully all the chips and cores were retrieved; the idea to build them as black boxes was excellent; we just need to give them new bodies. Also, may I add to the request slave soldiers, vehicles, drones, and others?]
Slave soldiers or any other type are robot-golems with simple programming like the old golems they first found here; they are not AI integrated inside or remotely driven; this last can be accessible if the AI with the codes decides to.
Matt: [Mark, what do you think?]
Mark: [No problem, just send the detail and requirements later, including the bodies of those 35,000 that need new bodies].
Matt: [Lidia, how about the refugee treatment?]
Lidia: [The treatment started for all the humans we had at the moment; they would take 1 day to finish; we are coordinating to end almost at the same time tomorrow; Alex should be there to receive them in Alvair City].
Alvair City is located 18 kilometers away and 400 meters deeper from them. The city is built to hold around 10 million people; the remodeling is still in works, but almost 10% can be used now.
Matt: [Alex?] He turned to see Serena.
She nods back.
[Yes, his medical remission ended very well; he should be taking some time off before coming back. Selena went to join him, and they will be back tomorrow early in the morning.
Matt: [Okay, so all the humans want to settle here?]
Lidia: [Yes, some of them want to join our military if they can; not all are from the military we rescued; the majority want to search for jobs. Alex asked if we can introduce economic measures like currency and also offer them job counseling; maybe some want to manage their own businesses.]
Matt: [An economy would be difficult without many consumers; their demographic could allow something, but most of the market prices should be fixed; we don't need the same as they, and even if there are advances in biorganic golems and robots...]
Golems are made of engraving codes in parts and cores, robots are born from Earth technologies, and the biorganic Matt talks about is a version of bodies that can emulate humans in tasting and eating or drinking, using a complete digestive system, feeling pain, hot or cold, are still experimental.
[Ok, we can use blockchain to allow using digital and physical currency; coins could be platinum, gold, silver, and bronze; bills should be beautiful art pieces; I know Alex likes some countries bills; some of the put sharks, monkeys, and art works there< yeah! That would do; we need commemorative money!]
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
All the others swiftly retire from the hall, leaving Matt monologues? development, they know he can just now be in meetings with different teams.
🔱
Alvair City center, Mark came here to look at the works. In 1 hour and 15 minutes, more than 300 thousand workers and their equipment will start working here; other teams will be assigned to the electrical and communications network; most of the remodeling works are basically making new; in the way to correct problems and issues from designs or upgrades, they ended up making new; the works in tunnels, support pillars, and others went that way too; they can rebuild again, but they think the aesthetics should count too.
This was one of the reasons they ended up with city planning designs this big; other was some logs tell the former inhabitants sometimes received massive influx of refugees; they usually just let them in one of the caves used as fields or ranches; this won't do with them.
They could use the PDM as temporary shelters, like they used just now, but they will prefer using it as emergency food or item production and also as medical support.
🔱
Alex was sitting with 4 beautiful girls at his sides; he was wearing trunks and sleeves less shirt; they were on a beach replica from Fiji; the beauties, meaning Maira, Selena, Serena, and Lidia, all wearing bikinis or one-piece swimsuits, all of them drinking coconut water from the coconuts; the place is a shabby bamboo and palms roof bar with a bartender; he is a robot-golem with looks like a human; a Maori looks by the way.
Alex was just diving in the sea; the ecosystems seem to be going very well; the reefs, fish, and even a whale shark were around; the crystalline sea waters with no pollution; and the sand in the bottom.
Many of these PDM floors replicated Earth conditions: one moon, the stars position, and one yellow sun.
Maybe they can be opened to the public in the future; there's more than 40,000 survivors, but that will have to wait, the challenges to come soon in a matter of weeks are driving them to scale up all the preparations, especially military, after tomorrow's Alvair city inauguration or reinauguration?.
They will wait a few days and inform everyone about it.
The city will have all their modern Earth conveniences, including smart phones, laptops, or desktop computers. Most of the remaining items from the containers were taken and stored; they are now modified to be used in Motherland conditions. Tomorrow, each new citizen will have choices to make, from where to live to jobs to apply for, and others, but they all will receive a basic package, including the smart phones.
A big plate with warm snacks with barbecued meats like fish, pork, beef, chicken, and seafood, all with delicious-looking pineapple pieces, salad on the sides, and sauces, was placed on the table where they were sitting.
Alex had a big smile looking at the plate and started to pick up with his chopsticks on the small plate in his other hand.
The ceviche was good, but he wanted to eat barbecued meats.
He looks at girls.
[You can eat now, right?]
Selena: [Yes, we have a complete digestive system and tasting emulators].
Alex: [Go ahead, take what you want].
A cold beer bucket was placed on the table.
Even if it is a big and heavy plate with snacks, Alex needs to eat more, especially when the food doesn't have ethera at all. After this, a plate with fried rice and "mar y tierra" meat mix will be his late lunch.
They will stay here around 15 days before going out to his new apartment (penthouse) in Alvair.
Matt sent a message saying he was busy with preparations and will come to stay here the last 3 days.
🔱
Martha, Anna, Miriam, and Katty are part of 1200 more people that come from the Balkans.
The crews from ships usually had many nationalities among them, from the Philippines, India, Europe, and many others, is not difficult count around 79 nationalities just in one Cruise Ship, most of them are usually from the Philippines.
But a special case have overturned this idea: several military and merchant services ships from Western countries, including more than 8,000 people from USA, also Spain, France, Germany, UK, Denmark and many others.
After the disaster and rescue, they received medical treatment and spend some time relaxing inside some kind alternative dimension that Summer Field people had.
They could choose destinations, but mostly all is small cabins in towns, they explained here is almost a replica from Earth places and they intend were not tourists attractions.
They spent more than 10 years adapting to their new modified body, they can use magic now; they received treatments that is only heard in sensationalism news, superhero or fantasy movies back on Earth; they also they received education in classrooms and inside pods while their bodies were customizing or following the treatments.
It feels weird living so many years without aging and heading back to the place that would be their new home after 3 months of vacations that can only be possible if you are a billionaire back on Earth, this without mention their traveling to places testing what they would like to do as job in the future.
The last 3 years, even though they were clear you can do planning changing in the future, their life expectancy now is at least 4 times more than Earth and their productive age is also extended.
Many of her friends wants silly jobs like cafeterias and bookstores, flower shops, restaurants like pizzerias, or ethnic foods place, and even some want have barbershops.
This is possible because the favourable conditions, they not only will have the places to live and do business given to you in nominal costs or mortgage, but also assistants, some type of robots and machines helping you do your work, they also had a basic income given to you for 1 year, but from the deposit, 80% is restricted to only items, the rest you can have cash money, the system is open and you can buy wherever you want to.
Health insurance and many things, specially food and clothing are cheap, now they finished do some quick preparations in her new apartment, they are going to assist to the inauguration of the City, the unmanned taxi comes to pick up her and her friends.
The taxi is a minivan for 6 passengers.
The unmanned taxi drove few blocks, moving to the left lane and taking the parallel street exit, then took flight to be able drive in the expressway without problems.
There's a bit of traffic, and almost everyone will go to the inauguration ceremony.
The inauguration ceremony will take place in a convention center, 20 minutes later, they arrived at one of the landing bays of the convention center, they went inside, walking.
They soon they found friends, many of them from 10 years or so, Dek and Mitch were 2 of them.
Anna: [Hello Dek and Mitch, Mitch I heard you were accepted in the Strategic Command?]
Mitch: [Yeah, well I had almost all my old life as a military officer; they were pleased, 10 years out in medical treatments and traveling made me realize that I love being in the Military]
Anna: [What about you Deck?]
As they were walking to their seats, Dek explained he was from a small coastal village in Africa, and after his adventure arriving Summer Field, he wanted to serve some years in the military.
The 4 girls understood his feelings, after all, they would join the army too, almost 10% of the people rescued joined Summer Field Military Forces.
Not all the military people joined, many went to try out other jobs.
After the ceremony they went to a new bar close to their homes, the City of Alvair, even if is a big metropolitan city, only 10% is open, more than 90% has been completed the exteriors, public services, roads and others necessary infraestucture.
In 3 days they will formally start their duties, as their basic and officers formation was done in the time they spend inside the PDM.
