Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

"Zeus sent those materials to the facility. We need to get serious."

[[I've done that.]]

"Good" Emma nodded.

[[Master, what do you think about runes? Creating weapon is of no use to us presently.]]

Hearing Zeus' monotone voice, Emma didn't bother to reply but smiled mysteriously. 

Emma stood in front of a transparent glass, where at the other side were various robots, performing various operations. These robots were in different shapes and sizes. However, their efficiency was top-notch. The synchronous reaction of these robots was pleasing to the eyes. However, Emma didn't have the luxury to see all this.

Since he left the Military command. He had thrown himself into the creation of the rune pen. Being a scientist, he saw many areas where the rune pen created by Wata can be upgraded. So he decided to change the equation and tweak some of the matter proportions. However, things were far easier said than done.

Things had not gone the way he thought. Wata had to use a crude way to create his pen while he was using a robot to create his. But he couldn't create the cover of a pen, not to talk of the whole pen. At first, he thought it was due to some miscalculated equation. However, it shocked him to realize that no not matter how he changes or tries to balance his equation. The rune pen creation was a total failure.

 Emma had tried various approaches but it was futile. Even with the assistant of Zeus, nothing worked. While he was still in thought. He heard the frustrating voice for the umpteenth time. 

{Rune Pen creation test 312 failed.}

The monotone voice came from the speaker. Emma didn't have any change in expression. He had already expected such but he couldn't wrap his head around where the error was coming from. 'I'm too naïve to think I can easily change the rune pen.' His lips curled upward a bit where his gaze lost focus. 'In research, there are many setbacks. But these setbacks won't stop me from achieving what I wanted.'

"Zeus let re-analyze everything from the beginning." He commanded walking away from the transparent glass. 

Behind Emma was a small table and a chair while beside the table and chair was an electronic board with the latest Elementor processor. The board can handle various high-level computations while it synchronizes its data in real-time. 

The board screen changed, displaying the Emma equation regarding rune creation and Wata analogy on his first and second rune. Emma stared at the two identical drawings and equation, rubbing his temple. He moved to the board and began to re-study the rune drawings, materials proportions, and step carefully not even having the intention of blinking.

Meanwhile, Zeus was also analyzing Wata data cross-checking with Emma's research but it couldn't even detect the error in the research. This would be the first time this would happen where it couldn't detect the error in a program. The simulation tested to be successful but the life result says something else. Then either the simulation had a bug that was oblivious to both Emma and Zeus or the machine used in creating the rune pen had problems unknown to them.

After studying the research from the beginning to the end. Emma couldn't pinpoint where the error was. He racked his brain for a solution but nothing came up. And he knew the narcissist in his head was just taking her time before the nagging of his life began. However, he didn't care about that. He was trying to bite the bullet and asked Lily for assistance but the lingering thought in his mind deterred him from doing so. If he had no Lily would he choose to be a failure? With that thought, he threw the thought of asking Lily for assistance out of his mind and vowed. If things go south. He would remain in this facility until he found the answer to the problem. 

Subsequently, Lily was laughing hysterically in Emma's brain. Emma's reaction was just like a movie. Most especially, his never-changing expression gave her the thrill of her life. With popcorn in hand, Lily continues to watch as Emma dabbles from one research to another. 

'You think a rune pen is that easy to create. You are more naïve than I expected. Hum. This is good. This will serve to curb all his growing wings and learn properly from this mama.'

Emma was oblivious to Lily's thought and besides if he knew. He won't give a damn. Every hunch of his body. His body, soul, and spirit all concentrated on the research, looking for the problem. Emma makes some slight tweaks and runs the simulation again.

[[60% successful. Simulation completed.]]

Though it was only 60% successful. Emma didn't care. What he needed right now was to discover where the error was. Correct it and use it to upgrade the rune pen. "Send the file."

[[Sent.]]

At once the robot began another batch of creating the rune pen. If these robots were to be human. They would have beaten some sense into Emma. Man, if you're not sure of what you're doing. Don't disturb us. You mother fucking nigga. After 20 minutes, the usual monotone voice echoed again. 

Emma gnashed his teeth. He felt like destroying something but when he tried to pick the nearby object. He realized that if he destroyed anything inside the room, it would be detrimental to his research. Left with no choice, he stumped his foot on the ground, gnashed his teeth, and kicked the wall. 

After venting his anger, he looked at the board with a lost gaze. 'A man that doesn't have this type of resources can succeed. Then what's stopping me.' It wouldn't be a lie to say Emma's resolve was shaken. He hadn't encountered such before. It was either success or failure. But now this. A failure inside success. 

[[Master, I have a suggestion.]] Zeus' monotone voice wakes Emma from his raging thoughts. Emma squinted his brow and looked at the set of robots, standing lifelessly at the opposite of the room. "Zeus, you know I welcome your idea. So whatever you think."

[[hmm. I think the problem is not with our research and calculations. Though you change many materials and substitute many contents with more powerful ones. However, according to my calculation, all of your work is in perfect alignment with Mr. Wata's research? It is praiseworthy for you to deduct so much from reading the Wata journal and coming out with new things. Since I can't detect any error in your research and deduction. Then this left me one answer. Physical creation. We are not including the atmosphere condition into the equation. Besides the rune may need mental power or something like intent.]]

Hearing this, Emma widens his eyes without a thought. He jumped from his seat and rushed to the board. He picked his pen and began to write furiously on the board. His hand was dancing furiously on the board. The silent room echoed with the dancing of Emma's pen. 

After what it seems like forever, Emma stopped writing and looked at the board, and smiled confidently. He looked at the frozen robot and walked out of the room shouting. "Zeus, send the file. This time, it would work"

[[Sure, it would work.]] 

>>Hump! You arrogant brat. You haven't learned your lesson.

'Oh, you think I won't make it. Lie. Lie. Lie. Watch as I make the rune pen and something you've never seen before.' Emma puffed his chest and entered the room where all the robots were placed. There were various machines and big tanks of various sizes placed in the room while the robots were arranged neatly on one side of the facility. 

Emma walked to a position not far from the robot and stood silently. After a couple of seconds, the robot began to work, picking various materials from the tanks and combining them. Seeing this, channels his mental power to the materials. Instantly, the material began to glow, changing color slightly. 

Seeing this, a slight grin crept to his face. He poured more mental power into the rune pen. After a couple of minutes, the rune pen began to take the shape of a pen. But not just an ordinary pen but a pen which affects the people in the surrounding. Noticing this, Emma was convinced that he succeeded. He stopped pouring mental power into the pen and waited for the final part of the build to be completed. 

{Rune pen creation successful} 

Hearing the notification he had been waiting for. Emma wanted to laugh but he refrained himself. He straightened his back, walked forward, and picked the rune pen. At once, Emma felt a slight pressure on his mental space but it disappeared immediately. 

>>What type of pen do you create? Are you sure you created a rune pen? Lily asked bewildered. She had seen various types of rune pens in her life. But this in her presence was nothing like she had never seen.

'Let find out.'
