The Tycoon's Odyssey

For some reason, Alexander felt that Evan's smile felt quite unsettling and despite not showing it, he clenched his fist wondering what this young man might demand.

'Maybe he will ask for Macrosoft shares.'

Evan's gaze remained steady as he continued, "I need decentralized military submarines, tanks, and some aircraft."

Alexander's eyes widened in shock, nearly blurted, "What?"

This time, he couldn't maintain his composure.

"Did I hear that right?"

"Yes, loud and clear."

"Why would you want all this?" Alexander's confusion was evident in the deep frown creasing his voice.

Evan leaned back, his demeanor becoming relaxed, but the pressure he emanated made Alexander look at him in a new light.

"You know I'm a military machine collector. I have a private island so shouldn't I have all this? How else can I face the world as a military collector if I don't even have cool aircraft and submarines to show off?"

Alexander swallowed hard, his throat tightening as he processed the request. "How much are we talking about?"

Evan's tone remained casual but precise. "I need a pair of submarines and dozens of tanks, among other things."

Alexander stared at the screen, his mind raced as he grappled with the enormity of Evan's demands. The room fell into a tense silence as he tried to come to terms with the implications of fulfilling such an overwhelming demand.

A few minutes before the building process was set to begin, Aurora had been observing Evan's meeting with Alexander.

After the call ended, Evan looked at Aurora, "Looks like I traumatized the guy too much."

[Hehehe!] Aurora's light, pleasant giggle echoed.

[Who wouldn't be, with demands like those? However, I am sure he expected more mind-boggling things but was stunned after hearing your demand?]

"Am I sure this request is easier to fulfil compared to some other things?" Evan added.

[It surely is except for the fact that transporting such things is gonna be a big hassle. But since he is a big fish of USL, he should know how to handle it.]

"Alright, Aurora, let's quickly finish the ongoing things. I feel as if I am being cooked while staying underground. Create a beautiful villa for me to enjoy.

"It will be done soon, Sir."

At the Fusion reactor site, Aurora checked the stock of newly arrived materials that were being continuously shipped to the island. The supplies seemed sufficient to proceed with the next construction phase, so she got to work.

She initiated the phase by ramping up the fusion reactor's energy production once more. The printer whirred to life, disintegrating the containers that had packed the warehouse to the brim. Hundreds of containers vanished, replaced by massive tracked machines, which swiftly rolled out of the printer.

Among the machines, about ten headed for the fusion reactor. While not completely buried underground, the reactor looked shabby, and these machines were tasked with addressing just that. They began printing a building that would serve as the main control room for the reactor, where scientists and personnel would monitor operations.

Aurora needed a variety of materials for the construction project, each crucial for the successful completion of the task. The primary materials included advanced construction composites, high-density alloys, and energy-efficient substrates. These materials were delivered in large containers, each carefully labeled and organized to ensure smooth assembly.

The process began with the assembly of the printer and its components. This sophisticated machine, capable of handling large-scale volumes, was carefully calibrated to disintegrate the containers and create the required machinery.

The containers were loaded into the printer's intake, where they were broken down into their atomic components. This process required precise control to ensure that each material was properly handled, enabling a seamless transition from the raw material to the finished product.

Once the containers were disintegrated, the printer began materializing massive tracked machines. These machines were assembled with meticulous coordination, combining individual components such as tracks, engines, and control systems to form the final product. Each machine was then tested for functionality before being dispatched to the designated work sites.

When the construction phase required disassembly, the process was equally methodical. The machines used for digging and printing were equipped with advanced disassembly tools, allowing them to break down components and reprocess them into usable materials. This process involved reversing the construction steps and ensuring careful removal and processing of materials for reuse or repurposing.

In the final stages, the completed machines and structures were closely inspected for any defects or issues. Any damaged or excess materials were broken down and reprocessed, ensuring minimal waste and optimal resource utilization.

The entire process was monitored closely to maintain the high standards required for the complex construction project.

During the entire step, workers kept a close eye for potential issues, and through their specialized lenses, Aurora received detailed visual feedback that helped her to make precise adjustments.

The remaining machines headed to a large forested area, splitting into smaller groups that formed a square that covered ten kilometres on each side. They began sinking into the ground, reaching a depth of sixty-four meters.

As they moved sideways, the machines disintegrated soil and trees, storing the atoms in containers, and reinforcing the ground as they progressed. In just two hours, they had created a perfectly measured square hole. Along the way, the machines relayed a road track using the reprocessed atoms.

After completing the excavation, the machines entered idle mode while new vehicles arrived to drop off atom storage containers into the hole. Once tens of thousands of containers were in place, the machines collected the atoms, disintegrated the containers and repaired any damage.

The construction then moved on to the next phase, which was laying the foundation.

The machines printed a meter-thick base, finishing in a mere half an hour. Columns were then printed on top of this base, reaching a height of twenty meters and continued by printing the lowest basement floor with a ceiling that reached a height of twenty meters.

They repeated this process for two more floors, with each new level being printed until the hole was filled and the structure reached the surface.

Finally, the machines started printing walls for the massive building. From above, it resembled a military villa, but inside, it concealed a hidden base with numerous underground apartments.

Aurora watched the process intently as the structure took shape, a blend of imposing exterior and secretive interior.

Soon, modern buildings rose up towards the sky, transforming the landscape.
