Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Now, as the near 30% of the people in stasis were dvergars, their population is in millions; the demographics are off because most of them are young; the same is with elves, demihumans, or humans.

There's more, and even if one could say there are few in comparison, but they are numbering hundreds of thousands each.

There are mermens hominids with mermaids and tritons included, as well as certain cetacean hominid tribes and orcs that's not limited to the looks like hominid Suidae/Bovids species (pigs, bulls, buffalo, goats, and others), as there's others with different looks and sizes; some can even morphing at will.

There's a theory among experts from Earth that to have a better understanding is like comparing humans with apes, and modern humans usually don't follow new archaeology findings, like the 7 similar hominid species remains found so far on Earth.

Let's say the actual human on Earth looks like this because the path took our species, and in other planets or dimensions there could be another path with almost the same results.

There's an additional issue that came with the awakened people from Fylhoff: money and values, species like humans; most of them come from Terra; not all went into stasis because they had a terminal sickness; some were to delay their natural death because of aging; others included their servants and entourage; some kingdoms even without knowing exiled rebels to stasis and then were "stored" in Fylhoff; the mentioned rebels numbering thousands and had key aristocratic families among them; Alex ordered to awaken and look for a solution; if other parties complain, they need to be stronger than the High Council.

So, the movements were big, many properties were returned to their owners, and the real states were a little bit complicated because most of the places were rebuilt, and that included the places they used to have.

Some "smart guys" try to impersonate or claim properties or valuables; some even try to push forced marriages or even rape or kidnapping attempts.

To respond to this, the judiciary acted fast, and the offenders were sent to penal colonies inside a PDM.

All this was very publicized, as the old Chinese say: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

The High Council representatives explained the problem they are now facing: they're incomunicated, and if they want to return, they need to wait; overwhelmingly, most of them didn't want to; maybe a visit later.

To this end, the High Council at the moment doesn't plan to restrict movements.

🔱

In the deepest of the facilities in the labs of the exclusive PDM of the engineering department, a sci-fi vision is in the making.

As something done in reality from movies, like "Steel Man," a group of great masters and masters Dvergars and AI's engineering teams were ensambling a very delicate next-gen product in the middle of the holo-illusion; they could see what the fabricator is doing in another specialized PDM, a series of complicated devices and bunkers trying to make contention in case some dimensions started to collapse.

Tull, now in a biorganic body, and Mark are leading the researching groups; the fabricator ended the platform like Giant Manta Ray.

This series comes with another model: an airbyke; this one is bulkier, with a windshield; the concept is based on the cruiser motorcycle from Earth; this model is a military build; it is mainly used by explorers and scouts; they often need to move great distances and need great support, but also require being less noticed in the surroundings.

The Airbyke comes in civil or military tunned versions, with space expansion storages, mini PDMs with a camper-style room filled with a kitchenette, microwave, freezer, bathroom and toilet, bed, and a small living room.

This model can be brought out to the exterior, adding camouflage-painted exterior, perimeter defenses, surveillance cameras, and sensors.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

The airbyke also has a small power plant and ethera high-density crystals to fuel the needs and devices, be electric or ethera.

The defenses and weapons are strengthened, also in battle works as "power banks," something that has become common in other small and medium vehicles. This improved version has more upgrades than the current in service that have almost all mentioned above.

When the first airbykes came to Summer Field, it was for military use only, but unexpectedly, there were many enthusiastic fans among the Earth survivors.

The High Council responded with new policies stimulating private enterprises.

The Summer Field transportation network is becoming more and more used, from high-speed trains to highways and airways.

With all of this and the Earth experience, many types of vehicles are being built. as is now, the civil-oriented vehicles are built in mass inside the PDM, mostly unmanned factories, the basic frames, and then the enterprises bring them to their own plants to be modified accordingly to the clientele wishes.

Now with millions of new inhabitants, they adapted very quickly to the many conveniences that come from Earth and joining the enthusiasm for new products, devices, and more.

Many of the products in the containers that were teleported to this planet, are being categorized, and samples is open to anyone whom they wish to use as a base for their new business.

Inside the PDM labs.

As the researchers team finished the prototype, they all exhaled, everything went right, then walked to the next room where teleportation platforms are working; the recently built aerial platform appeared in front of them, levitation systems are working fine, and now it will send to the test area. if everything is alright, soon it will be mass produced.

Tull keeps mulling in his mind: in the past this would have been an impossible task; one of the problems is the delicate process of the engravings; every step needs to be safe; every step they need to check twice; everything is fine, not mentioning the cores availability, but technologies are advancing; they now have a way that reduces the cores need.

Now one of the assistants brought a small jewel, encased in a simplistic jade neck pendant with a frame of iron and bronze. They finished the process linking both: the jewel and the aerial platform is stored inside the jewel, then is deposited inside a box.

[Well, Tull, when do we take the upgrade containers project?]

[Now?, this time we need 10 thousand prototypes, right?]

Everyone laughing went walking to the room they were in before.

This phase of the tests comes to the mass production lines, quality controls and many other necessary aspects.

Even if they say "now," they need to wait the recalibration and tuning process. The labs and fabricator need to be linked, and they will use another production line, this one adapted to be used in mass production.

Few hours of waiting later:

Now the holo-illusion shows a rectangular iron box skeletal frame; the fabricator arms start with a basic frame; the other engineers and assistants are working in their stations, some supervising the mechanical engraving arms; others were checking, testing, and calibrations.

In a few days, they will put together all the pieces and a new revolutionary artifact comes to make everyone life's easy and cheaper the transportation costs, this time, the upgraded "container" will not only have an expanded space inside, but also time suspension functions and can store up to 1000x content with 99% weight reduction, the model now in use can transport 100x and and 90% weight reduction, this new features comes because they could upgrade the integration of pocket space mechanisms and expansion space engravings in 20 nanometers, everyone can't wait to reduce to 10nm, another point is the ethera source necessary to keep stable the PDM by the supply using high density crystals that are stored safe in expansion spaces, this aspect is currently also under research.

Be able to make independent ethera supply from the ley line the trains uses as a medium- to high-speed and safe railroad of sorts. Dvergars are now planning and developing a line using the ley line itself. In the original place Fylhoff City was placed, there's some remains outside the dungeon, now under research, that were used to develop this technology that comes from their original planet.

By the way, safety measures are included in all models, like in case something alive kept inside when time suspension comes, the artifact won't close.

In the same line, other models are ball-shaped with a few inches in diameter, with extra safety in dimensional space. Tull or the other Dvergars didn't get why many of them were smiling and moving their hands as something we're on their heads shouting, "I choose you!".

[Why are they doing that?]

A dvergar asks.

[You need to see the anime; maybe later you can; are you subscribed to XTream?]

This is an integrated service a private company is setting up; the services include banking video, voice, and mail, among others, and they announced soon they can link to the Fortress Cities.

The services are using open source platforms, so any can try and build their business; now there's also transport, food, groceries, or daily needs deliveries, and is expanding.

A detail many don't understand, mostly the people from Fylhoff, is the concepts of "open source," "patents," "license," "common use," "intellectual property" and others. For the above-mentioned works, they do not charge because of the work itself; it's the service's basic costs.

Now that there are many people, there's talk about sports and entertainment.

🔱

The High Council Building, as the preparations for the upcoming Tysnaedra mission, the Council of the Deep formed by Dvergars Grand Masters is signing documents in a room with Alex and his assistants.

They now formally could take the town they used to have more than a thousand years ago, and even if they could go and search the others that live on this planet, somewhere.

They like to have a city here in this new Summer Field; the mentioned town is deep, nearing thousand meters, and the location is very special: earth, fire and water ley line veins are close, as any realtor likes to sing: location!, location!, and location!.

The town, was problematic because the same that made it so attractive, the different overflowing energies create dungeons or at bare minimum monsters; now they will coordinate with Summer Field Military Forces to tame those rich places.
