Chapter 12 – 02. Sequence
+++
“We have reorganized the system to make it easier for Sihwan to understand.”
“Well….”
Sihwan blinked his eyes a couple of times.
In response to his words of consolation, he punched Bari, who made an outrageous comment, and walked around the academy in search of good land to build an underground base.
When he arrived near Yuina’s office, a transparent window suddenly appeared in Shihwan’s field of vision. Like stats.

Several pieces of information are listed.
Whether it’s resources or facilities…
It’s like looking at an information window from a strategy simulation that runs a country.
“What’s this?”
“Since you came to this world to have fun anyway, I made a system like a game.”
“Five… So, is it okay to play like an rts game?”
“Yes.”
“It’s fine.”
I don’t know if it’s virtual reality, but it’s implemented in reality.
Shihwan nodded her head as if he was surprised but satisfied.
“Then briefly explain.”
“First of all, the control center is literally a facility that controls this system as a whole. Normally, this is my job, but it was designed so that Sihwan-nim can operate the entire facility as if he were playing a game.”
“Ohh. If you have this, you’re not giving orders to me, but I can build, direct, and do things myself, right? Without going through you?”
“That’s it. Also, the control center functions as Sihwan-nim’s home. Basically, the exterior is set close to the residence, and the initial construction cost is low.”
“It’s the control center… I guess I have to build it to be able to do the rest.”
“That’s right. Other facilities are unlocked only by building a control center first, and some of them have other conditions attached.”
“You made it look like a real game. In a world with stats.”
It’s not bad.
No, it’s rather good It wouldn’t be fun if Bari did everything by herself, but Sihwan could control it, albeit in a limited way. Then you can enjoy it. Although it is a different world far from the superuniverse era he lived in, he will be able to feel the pleasure and thrill in his own way.
“Great. Then, start with the control center. Where to build Aren’t there any restrictions?”
“You can build in the air if you have enough resources. But now, after building the minimum 〈 Control Tower 〉 and 〈 Collector 〉〈 Atomic Fission Unit 〉, we have only a small stockpile left.”
“Isn’t it a crisis then?”
“You’re right. My main weapon, the plasma beam, consumes 1.5ml of nanomaterial on average. Arithmetically, it is impossible to shoot less than 700 times, and in the event of a special situation, it will consume much more, so we urgently need to have a mass production system for nanomaterials.”
Sihwan felt a little threatened.
If it was Bari’s main weapon, it would surely have tremendous power. And if it’s about 600 times, you’ll be able to cope with a fairly dangerous situation.
However, that is simply the amount of usage calculated for that weapon alone. In reality, it had to be seen that much more wasted.
“So does Collector 〈 〉 produce nanomaterials?”
“No. 〈 Collector 〉 is a facility that literally collects matter in the vicinity and breaks it down into smaller, invisible units for stockpiling. Afterwards, it is passed to 〈 Atomic Nuclear Fission Device 〉, where it produces ‘meta-atoms’, which are the basis of nanomaterials.”
“What is a meta-atom? .”
“It is the basic unit of matter created artificially because it was not possible to create the universal substance that mankind desires freely with the properties of existing atoms. By combining and arranging them, countless new materials can be created, and among them, nanomaterials are the ultimate product.
Each nanomaterial has a mechanical character—”
“Ah. I’m sorry, but I’ll stop talking. So, in a word, 〈 Collector 〉 picks up rocks and stores materials in a form that cannot be used as resources yet, takes them and does this and that, and then produces 〈 meta atoms 〉, which are the basis of nanomaterials, 〈 atomic nuclei. Is it Disruptor 〉?”
“Yes. You are correct.”
“Just by building it, the stockpile is almost exhausted.”
“You should see that.”
“So you can’t produce nanomaterials after all? Only metamaterials come out in abundance.”
“As I will explain later, it is not necessarily so. Also, I can turn metamaterials into nanomaterials. For the time being, you will have to produce your own. We can complete the nanomaterial production process within a week as long as we have a production system up to the metamaterial.”
“It’s taking a little longer than I thought.”
One might ask why a week takes a long time, but since I lived in the nature of instantaneous everything, even a week was quite a long time in the sense of sickness.
“This is because the situation is different from the nature that started development after completing all preparations from the beginning. It took 20 years to develop even half of it.”
Due to the development of her technology and the improvement of her own functions, development began to progress at a speed that was incomparable to the beginning, but now, even if the technology is not known, the foundation has been completely blown away. Of course, the familiar speed does not come out.
“Then what will happen? How much is produced.”
“First of all, there is something you should know. Nanomaterials are used to realize ultra-high technology, but more often they are simply used to create objects in a short period of time. As in the case of facility construction, once you have meta atoms, it is possible to create them somehow, even if it takes some time.”
“Five?”
“Thus, if you want to enjoy it fully even if it is slow, you can build up to 〈 Atomic Fission Device 〉 with nanomaterials and build the rest with meta atoms. It will take a little longer.”
“Can’t you just turn the stockpile of meta atoms into nanomaterials? I don’t think it will take even a week….”
“It is, but… That’s the amount I was going to use for Si-hwan-nim’s armament.”
“Why are you arming me?”
“… You’re not serious, are you? It seems to be sincere.”
“I’m serious.”
Barry’s “Haa… ‘ She sighed.
“Looking at Sihwan-nim’s aggro, I thought that there could be a battle or assassination targeting Sihwan-nim in the near future, and even if it wasn’t so, arming for safety is essential in this world that hasn’t been fully revealed yet. Also, since there may inevitably be additional uses of nanomaterials after construction, at least meta atoms should be stocked.”
“I see.”
Sihwan lightly agreed.
“Then let’s build a base here underground. Can you do it?”
“Yes.”
Bari stood in front of a building that looked like a dormitory, twisting her arms and jabbing her into the stone floor.
Contrary to the solid-looking exterior, it is so easy to enter.
Googoo goo.
Soon after, a weak earthquake.
If you don’t know, it’s a vibration that you can’t even recognize because it’s buried in everyday life.
After about 5 minutes, Bari raised her body.
Her deformed arm also returned to normal.
“It’s amazing every time I see it.”
Sihwan pokes Bari’s arm, which has returned to being human.
I couldn’t believe that the soft and chewy thing was the machine mass from earlier.
“I made a spacious cavity about 100 meters underground.”
After all, even if they blew up all the existing facilities (although they exist in nature), Bari is Bari. Making a cavity 100 meters underground with a casual face.
After a while, a hole opened in the floor where she had placed her hand, and her elevator continued to rise.
Chunk!
“This is the entrance.”
.
.
Rattle.
She climbs into the elevator and continues down.
In the original castle, teleportation was freely available, but it is a luxury that cannot be desired now. One day that will happen, but for now you have to move your body to save money.
Well, the elevator is a convenient enough machine, but….
“But if you do it like rts, units will come out and that’s it, but are you creating humans or creating new life forms?”
“It could be done, but for the sake of human ethics and Shihwan-nim’s mentality, all units were replaced with androids or robots.”
“I see.”
“Still, in terms of appearance, they won’t be much different from humans. If you wish, you can borrow the appearance of other races on this continent.”
“Let’s think about that later.”
“Yes.”
In the midst of talking, I stopped with a ringing.
Appearance arrived at the joint.
The door opened, and I could see a truly fantastic empty space.
“There is nothing.”
Definitely not that wide.
You can fit a building or two, but it’s not as huge as I thought.
“Because I have to save it. Still, it took about half a liter of nanomaterial to make this much.”
“Eh… Hearing that, I really feel the need to save it.”
I never thought it would take so much to make a pupil of this size.
“Nanomaterials are inherently high in consumption. If you mass-produce workers and use meta-atoms in the future, resource consumption will decrease. It will take some time.”
“Hmm… Then, once the mass production system is in place, if you can build using meta atoms, you can hire a worker to build them with meta atoms, and only high-end buildings or units that can’t do that can use nanomaterials, right ?”
“Similar. In the case of nanomaterials, even high-performance weapons consume a large amount, so the consumption increases over time. So, it is better not to use it as much as possible.”
“I see. If you have meta atoms, you can do pretty much anything anyway, right?”
“Yes. And just in case, construction and unit production are not only consumed by meta-atoms unless they are nanomaterials.”
“Eh? Nope?”
“As expected, it was the correct answer. Everyone consumes a large amount of compression materials. I’ll just put this on the information window.”
“Hmm. Well, when I think about it, it makes sense. There’s no way you can build a building with just a few liters… You will need some other resource.”
“That is the correct answer.”
“Then [Compressed material] [Meta-atom] [Nanomaterial] Are these three main resources? Are there any more?”
“For now, that is the end.”
“I get it roughly.”
If you use [Nanomaterial], Buildings or units are produced immediately, but it is inefficient and consumes a lot.
In addition, construction and production using [Meta-atoms] Consume additional [Compressed material], And in the case of construction, a separate construction robot is required.
That’s basic information.
“Great. Let’s start by building the [Control Center] One by one.”
“I will build the control center.”
“Yes.”
Barry reached out.
With that alone, the pupils, which were generally dark, brightened, and something began to rise from the ground.
It is the size of a small one-story house.
“This is the control center.”
“Something is shabby.”
Well, I didn’t really expect to be able to live a luxurious life as much as I came to this world, but what can I say… Are you too modest?
“Well, yes. But considering the current situation, even this is quite a luxury.”
“Eww….”
What can’t you do Because it’s not that important. Still, it’s not like shower facilities are missing, right?
“It is none other than Sihwan-nim’s house. It can’t be.”
That’s a solid answer. Believe.
“Let’s go in.”
Upon entering, I was greeted by an interior similar to my home in Bonseong.
Of course, the size is incomparably small.
There were quite a few rooms, and among them there was a room to manage this system.
Several large monitors are installed and various information is described.
Of course, there is only one control center now, so there is not much written.
“Okay. We can build here.”
I tried to manipulate it lightly.
Should I build a collector first?
When I clicked on the building, the current state of the entire community and the image of the selected building appeared as a hologram.
The collector looks like a huge oil refinery.
Once built in a corner place.
[Collector starts construction immediately Collector.Lv0 = 〉 Collector.Lv1]
[5L of nanomaterial was used.]
Along with the message that came to mind, the scene of the collector being built was projected on the hologram.
Hmm. It looks like you’re playing a real game.
“Now, let’s build 〈 Nuclear Fission Facility 〉.”
“Yes.”
[Construction of the atomic fission device will begin immediately. Atomic Nuclear Fission Device.Lv0 =〉 Atomic Nuclear Fission Device.Lv1]
[Nanomaterial 7L is used.]
A simple message like before.

Well? Something seems to have changed in the information window.
The list of unbuilt buildings is all gone… Something like scale has been added.
“Every day at 00:00 midnight, the turn passes. A day is 1 turn. What is displayed in production is both ‘production per turn’ and ‘consumption per turn’.”
“I see. What units do you have?”
“You can produce ‘construction robots’, the most basic unit in the control center.”
“Oh my.”
Let’s see… It costs 1 nanomaterial or 50 compressed material and 0.5 metaatoms to produce one SCV. First of all, it has to be done with nanomaterials… Since we only have 3 liters of stockpile right now, let’s make one.
“If there are too many of these, the construction speed will decrease, right?”
“Yes.”
Great. Produced once.
[Immediately produced one construction robot.]
[1L of nanomaterial is used.]
Now, the remaining nanomaterial is 2 liters… Wow, you really came across without anything… I can feel it.
“Is there anything you can do now?”
“Yes. If compressed materials and meta atoms are produced tomorrow, I will convert them into nanomaterials, and you can build additional collectors with them.”
“Then how much is left?”
“It’s an O-ring.”
“Eh.”
“So please don’t drag it with aggro for a while.”
“….”
It was a serious request.
