Chapter 1869 – 1869. Eternal Eden
After coming out of the shower, I roughly touched my dripping hair and headed to Na Chae-young’s lab. Dressed in a white gown, she was sitting in her chair and looking intently at her computer monitor. She glanced at the monitor. She was looking at mechanical blueprints or something.
“What blueprint is it?”
“Combat AI Blueprint. Because what we got is software. This is the hardware blueprint.”
“Isn’t it necessary to have a supercomputer?”
I don’t know much about engineering, but I do know that AI basically needs to be able to handle huge amounts of computation.
“Have you forgotten that I am a technologist? Here’s the blueprint, and even the resources I got from Taewang, so there’s no reason why I can’t make it. Until that day comes, we will be able to make the minimum equipment to utilize the combat AI.”
“They said that technologists need to understand what they are making in order to use their abilities to make them. No matter how much data you have, how can you understand it so quickly?”
“I can only say that I am a technologist. Could it be some kind of superpower? When I study machines, it feels like my brain suddenly gets better.”
After saying that, Na Chae-young finally took her eyes off the monitor. She turns her chair slightly and looks at me. She immediately narrowed her eyes.
“… Why are you naked?”
“Because it’s frustrating. And I’ll go to bed in a little while anyway. When I go to bed… Know?”
She smirked and laughed. Na Chae-young was not shy about my coy gaze. She just let out a small sigh.
“The subject that was dying until just now… Do you really have to do that?”
“Sex is the meaning of my life. And the body has already fully recovered. What I felt today is that the recovery speed is faster than before.”
“It’s not strange. Although there are individual differences, Awakeners become stronger the more they use their abilities. Your powers must have become stronger.”
“I am Dr. What level of ability do you think recovery is?”
“I don’t know much about your ability to recover. Because it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
“I’m a doctor. I’m a player.”
“Just because you’re a player doesn’t mean you know everything about Eternal Eden. Because the game was too vast.”
“If the recovery continues to grow, will it be possible to become immortal?”
“It could be similar. However, it is impossible to become completely immortal.”
“Why?”
“Ability is not a no-cost. Mental fatigue and physical fatigue when using the ability. Because they both stack up. If either side runs out… The ability won’t activate.”
“Are you talking about the feeling of losing your stamina when you use thunderbolt? Mental fatigue… Hmm. Aren’t you talking about physical exhaustion?”
“The absolute spirit seems to be affecting that side as well. But nothing is absolute. If you just believe in recovery and roll your body, you will be in big trouble. There will come a time when you will not be able to recover.”
“It seems that recovery also restores that physical strength, right?”
“… You said that mental fatigue accumulates.”
“That’s why I’ve never felt mental fatigue.”
“… If that’s true, your recovery might really be triggered like a permanent organ. However, there is no guarantee that the ability will be activated after death. Don’t do anything weird.”
“No, it will activate even after death. Side effects of Bister I. Did you forget After I killed the gangsters then, the blood vessels in my body burst and I died.”
“Are you unconscious?”
“No, it didn’t feel like I was losing consciousness.”
“Then how can you be sure it’s death? It might not be death.”
“I know because I am dead.”
“…”
Na Chae-young looked at me strangely.
It was hard to explain what this was. I’ve already died several times. And came back to life through full recovery. So I was used to experiencing death.
“It will be difficult to achieve meaningful growth just by ignorantly continuing to use one’s abilities. Especially since you have bluntness as a trait.”
“Do I look dull?”
“… No. Your fighting skills are beyond genius, to the level of a monster.”
“I am Dr. I mean, it’s dull. Isn’t that a characteristic that makes it difficult to learn new things?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s hard to learn, but there’s nothing wrong with using what you already know.”
“… That’s what I don’t understand Your swordsmanship, your ability to use lightning, your ability to endure pain… How do you know those things?”
“Well.”
Na Chae-young stared at me and shook her head with a sigh. Because I know I won’t tell you in the end.
I went out of the lab, took the knife I had thrown away, and handed it to Na Chae-young.
“Stand me up.”
Na Chae-young took her knife out of her scabbard and hesitated. I was surprised too. This is because the titanium blade, which had been close to gray, had turned white.
“… Did you even paint it?”
“Dr. I know best that there was no time for such a joke.”
“The metal has deteriorated.”
Na Chae-young pulled all of her swords from her scabbard. Except for the hilt, the entire blade turned white.
“Does metal deteriorate?”
“It happens sometimes even in Eternal Eden. Very occasionally, when metal touches the blood or flesh of evolutionary creatures, it causes mutations. I’ll have to research what kind of special metal it is.”
“Is it because you killed that monster?”
“Simply killing Brainy Bau with a knife doesn’t change the metal. There must be other factors. Tell me more about the circumstances when you killed Brainy Bau.”
There was nothing to hide. I said that I swung a sword with a huge amount of electricity.
“So that’s the attack that split the research center in half. Put some electricity in the knife. Don’t be too strong.”
Na Chae-young said. The eyes, which were usually deeply sunken, were shining brightly for some reason.
Takes the knife and causes a weak thunderbolt.
Dismissal.
The small thunderbolt that flashed the thunderbolt permeated the pure white sword as it was. For an instant, the sword glowed silver and then disappeared.
‘Was I too weak?’
Paperweight!
The thunderbolt that rose from her hand soaked into the knife. I felt like a thunderbolt was being pulled. The blade imbued with thunderbolt shone silver. It continues to turn silver even though the thunderbolt was not supplied. Change is not only that. The blade sharpened in an instant.
“Wait for a sec. Stop the electricity supply.”
“Already stopped. It’s charged like a battery. And look at this I sharpened the blade on my own.”
“… Celebration? Then can we turn off the electricity?”
“I’ll try.”
Disconnect the electricity from the knife. It wasn’t difficult. The sword’s power to attract electricity was very weak. It is considered to be almost non-existent. When the electricity went out, the sword that had been shining silver returned to white again. The blade was sharpened.
“Oh. Is it an automatic blade repair function!”
I chuckled. I don’t know why, but it was a feature I liked. There is no moment as annoying and irritating as the blade coming out every time you swing it.
“… This metal just isn’t like that. Recovering the shape is probably one of the abilities it possesses. Robbery? How strong is the knife?”
Her voice rose slightly. It’s excited
“Uh? That’s what I don’t know. The base was titanium, so isn’t it about titanium?”
“I will have to experiment. More important than the strength of metal is the amount of charge and the speed of charge. If metal itself could act as a battery… No wonder it’s called a revolution. It will help. Give me the knife Because I have to study it from now on.”
“… The sword is my weapon.”
“If you study and understand it, you can mass-produce it.”
“How long will it take to research everything?”
“It won’t take long. A knife is not a complex machine, but a thinly stretched and sharpened object. If you look at its structure, it is the same as stones scattered on the street.”
“To underestimate the skill that goes into a single sword… Oh right. I am a technologist.”
She doesn’t need to melt and beat metal to make a knife. She can forge metal with her resources and shape it with her powers. The sword, as she said, was nothing more than thinned and sharpened metal. I saw firsthand how she made the sword. With her hands using her abilities, she just stretched the metal straight, and a sword was created.
“I need to start researching right away.”
“… Can I help you?”
There was nothing to do. It wasn’t even evening time yet to go to bed.
“Help me. With your help, we will be able to produce research results faster.”
I looked at the knife in my hand.
The titanium sword has turned into a new sword. So it would be right to abandon the name Titania and give it a new name.
“You are now a hairtail sword.”
“… What?”
“The one that shines silver looks like a hairtail. Hairtail sword. Hmm. I like it.”
Shouldn’t it be called a sword because it’s a sword? The thought passed by, but the hairtail sword became more toned.
“Oh right. People who see metal for the first time give it a name, right? Then should I put it on?”
“… No way.”
“This metal is now galcinium.”
“That bastard’s hairtail…”
Na Chae-young held her head as if her head hurt.
As a result, Galcinium was a formidable bastard. Its strength was similar to that of titanium, and its storage capacity was about 12 times greater than that of a battery of the same size. Even if it is not separately processed.
According to Na Chae-young, if galcinium is processed and made into a proper battery, its efficiency will increase at least twice.
“This is a formidable metal. The biggest headache in modern society was the battery problem… Now the matter has progressed a great deal. One step? No, with this metal alone, the battery system has advanced at least three steps.”
“Awesome, Galcinium.”
“What can I do with that bastard’s hairtail?”
“I have already decided on galcinium. But if it’s such a great skill, shouldn’t it be hidden?”
“Right now we can monopolize it, but… It will be difficult. I am this…”
“Galcinium.”
“… Okay. Because I plan to actively use galcinium. Those who fall into the hands of technologists will also research and create galcinium right away. So, I plan to use it for trading as well.”
“Who are you dealing with?”
“Enterprise. Or the government. Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to do that right away. And I’m just giving an opinion. You are the one who chooses my opinion.”
“Me?”
“You are the leader of Seongak Elementary School here. The wealth of the faction is ultimately decided by you, the leader. This galcinium is yours. What are you going to do?”
I thought for a moment and then said.
“If such an opportunity comes, let’s make a deal with the government.”
“Why? The company might pay more.”
“I know the limits of a company well. If you’re going to be friendly, it’s better to be friendly with the government.”
“Okay.”
And finally, the day was right around the corner.
D-1.
