Engineer 4: Activating Mission Card

Soon Eric and Peter also negotiated to create a small parent company based on New York for ease of recruitment and management purpose. Peter assured him that he can have a fully furnish office just few blocks from the bank at cost price of 2.5 million dollars. The reason that Peter gave him that the office is quite cheap for their location is due to former owner was declare bankrupt and the bank seize it. Due to the ease of location and Peter personal connection, he could get all the deeds done for Eric is just a few days.

"So what do you want to call your company?", enquired Peter.

Eric hold his breath for a while, thinking,contemplating.

"Artemis. Let's go with Artemis.", answered Eric.

Soon after the two of them parted ways. On the way out of the bank, Eric mischievously winked at the receptionist that received him earlier before going back home with Uber. On his way home, Eric arranged his thought on how to proceed. He need atleast one or two other employees to help him and he also need to create a sample of the steel to test the blueprint.

The very moment he reach his home, he immmediately open his computer and ordered several kilos of pure iron powder and carbon powder and several other alloying elements such as molydenum and the most expensive of the bunch are titanium. He also brought a small gas furnace. All the items he purchases will arrived the next day.

Then he need someone to help him test the new steel plate for him. And he knew someone. It was the only person he always considered as his best friend. Back when he was still in hight school, Eric was the smallest and the youngest among all his peers. Because of this he was always a target of bullying and harassment by the students and sometimes the teachers. It all slowly become mild when this person helped him. He taught him how to interect with others, how to make friends and how to handle the harassment. Their friendship lasted until to this day.

Eric scroll through his smartphone contact number until he stopped at a single name, JOHN TANAKA.

The name invoked some of the most powerful memory inside Eric. During his lowest moment several years back, Eric has basically given up on living and it was John who helped him get through again. John arranged therapist for him all the way from Middle East as a combat engineer. Several weeks ago Eric heard of John retirement and he should be at his home in New Jersey.

The phone beep for a few second before a deep voice answered.

"ERIC! Whatsup!", the voice answered joyfully. Eric knew this voice well. It was John.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

"Sup John,how are you?", replied Eric cordially.

"I am doing great. Thanks for asking.", John replied.

"I am sorry to call you abruptly,but do you have guns?", asked Eric.

"Of course I have gun, i joined the marine to play with guns. Why do you need gun? You need me to kill someone? I am not cheap you know.", jested John jokingly at Eric. While it might sounds joking, based on Eric's experience John was someone who would do that for his friends. Eric always wonder if John is a main character and Eric was just one of the side character that come to John's life.

"I do need you to shoot something. There's some material that I've develop that need some testing with.", replied Eric. Eric was always been a direct person which make him a reason for being picked on when he was younger. John who have known Eric for almost 10 years already knew that Eric will answer him direct.

"Yeah sure, anytime. Gimme a few day head up and pay the rounds. They are expensive you know.", the ever joker John bantered.

"How about this coming weekend?", Eric suggested. The weekend in question are in three more days.

"Yeah sure. You know the way to my house in New Jersey right?"

"Yeah I'll see you there first thing in the morning.",replied Eric before saying goodbye.

Then he organize his thought. So far he already have three blueprint unlocked; the steel, motor and battery cell. Which he was processing his thought on how to proceed, he suddenly have an epiphany. He could make several research paper and sell the product through his company.

For example the Steel blueprint. Even if he included the recipe for the steel in his future paper and some company manage to emulate it, they will never properly make it to the standard of the blueprint. At best they can imitate is 50 percents of it capabilities. But even then it already 10 percent better than current steel in term of performance and durability.

Next the motor blueprint that he received; Eric found out that it not much different from currently most efficient motor by ABB. While ABB motor efficiency is at 99.05 percent max full load at 44 megawatt, the motor blueprint Eric received is at 99.2 percent max full load at 60 megawatt.

Based on this it was inline with Eric thought that the tech at Tier 0 is only few years ahead of current technology. Then he look at the battery cell. The battery cell blueprint are a type of lithium-sulfur battery. Lithium-sulfer battery itself are not a new thing but due to the problem with "shuttle" effect, its never comes to fruitation. But according to the blueprint, a type of graphene screen can solved this problem. The problem now is that he didn't know how to get the graphene needed as the graphene layer itself is a new technological bottleneck that he need to go through.

While scrolling the system shop in his watch, Eric finally found the blueprint that he needed. Research Paper on nano-honeycomb graphene; 2 BP points. If he could withdraw the research paper and study it, he could finally make the battery a reality. But now Eric is lacking in point.

"Alter."

[YES GUARDIAN], replied Alter in the form of text on screen.

"How can I get more point?",enquired Eric.

[GUARDIAN CAN COMPLETE THE MISSION, EACH MISSION WILL REWARD A SET AMOUNT OF POINTS AND OR OTHER REWARD]

Then the text changes again after a few second

[GUARDIAN CURRENTLY HAS ONE (1) BRONZE MISSION CARD. DO YOU WANT TO ACTIVE IT?]

After contemplating for a while, Eric finally approve the activation.

[BRONZE MISSION: THIS WATCH IS REAL

MISSION DETAIL: PUBLISH ONE (1) RESEARCH PAPER

REWARD 5 BP AND OR 1 MYSTERY GIFT]
