Getting a Technology System in Modern Day
chapter-146

"Hello Aron," Rina greeted as soon as she answered the phone call.

"Hello, how are you?" Aron inquired, returning the greeting.

"I'm doing well, how about you?" Rina asked in response.

"I'm doing well," Aron replied before getting straight to the point, saying "I called because I was hoping to utilize some of your family's political influence."

Upon hearing what Aron said, she smiled, happy for finally having the opportunity to reciprocate the help she had received from him. "Sure," she replied. "I will gladly assist you."

"By now, you must have heard the news about the coup that took place in Eden, right?" Aron asked.

"Yes, I was just reading a report about it," Rina replied and then asked, not discounting the possibility, "Was it you?" knowing full well that Aron was entirely capable of such an act if he so desired.

"Yes," Aron answered without hesitation, proceeding with his request as if he hadn't just confirmed his involvement in toppling the government. "I want you to ensure that the aircraft carrier returns without taking any action upon its arrival."

Rina, taken aback by Aron's response, was momentarily stunned, causing her to forget to reply. Aron, noticing her silence, asked, "Can you do it?" in an effort to snap her out of her frozen state and bring her attention back to the phone call.

"Sorry about that. I was just taken aback by your confession," Rina apologized for her momentary lapse in response.

"Don't worry about it. I can understand the surprise. Even I would be taken aback if someone I was speaking to confessed to causing a coup," Aron replied, eliciting a laugh from Rina.

"So, you're only requesting that they turn the aircraft carrier around, correct?" Rina asked once she had calmed herself down.

"Additionally, when the country announces its neutrality, ensure that they support it, masking their support as a preferable alternative to their enemy having been chosen instead of them" Aron added.

Rina, though slightly surprised that Aron didn't push for the country to align with America, responded, "If they're going to declare neutrality and not align with another country, it will be easier for me to persuade them to halt the pressure. Consider it done," she assured after understanding the direction Eden intended to take.

"That's good," Aron replied, a smile spreading across his face.

"Is there anything else you need from me?" Rina inquired.

"At the moment, no. However, in the coming months, I'll require your assistance a few more times," Aron stated.

"With the help you have provided me, don't worry about a thing. If you need anything from me, I'll always be there to assist you to the best of my abilities," Rina responded.

"Sure, then talk to you later," Aron said, bidding farewell to her. Upon receiving the reply, he ended the call.

Turning to Alexander, who was visibly surprised by the swift resolution of the problem, he said, "Consider it solved. You can now focus on important matters concerning your country. Regarding the economic stimulus, I will provide you with more details in the coming days when you have some free time, as I need to prepare for it."

"That was incredibly fast," Alexander exclaimed, his surprise still evident on his face.

"When you're as wealthy as I am, you come to know people in influential positions," Aron bluffed boldly, despite the fact that he didn't actually know anyone affluent or powerful apart from Rina.

"That's true," Alexander agreed, influenced by his perception of billionaires and their connections.

...…

A week had passed since the coup had occurred. During this time, Alexander and his newly appointed cabinet remained tight-lipped about which side they would be aligning with, stating that their utmost priority was the creation of a new constitution.

They emphasized that until this critical task was completed, they would not divert their attention to any other matters.

The aircraft carrier group, which had arrived a day after the coup, stayed in the country for a week but ultimately departed without any engagement, citing the absence of ongoing turmoil that warranted their prolonged presence in the country's waters.

With Rina's reemergence in the family competition and the influential individuals becoming aware of her renewed influence, her sway regained strength along with the spreading news. This newfound leverage made it effortless for her to ensure that America refrained from taking any actions against Eden.

Rina also took measures to secure America's acknowledgment of the country once the process of creating the new constitution was completed.

On the other hand, Aron had been residing in the presidential palace throughout the entire week, dedicating most of his time to the universal simulation. He engaged in meetings with the think tanks that inhabited the virtual realm, utilizing their expertise and insights.

...….

(Inside the Universal Simulation)

Aron could be observed engrossed in reading the plan devised by the think tank residing in Lab City. The objective of the plan was to assist the country in its development, enabling it to rise above the legacy of the previous regime.

Aware that the government's support may not always be guaranteed, the think tank crafted the plan to also strengthen Aron's influence within the country.

The plan revolved around a simple yet impactful idea: establishing an infrastructure company.

This proposed company would serve as a mechanism to exert a significant grip on the country.

It would function in such a manner that, in the unlikely event that the government attempted to seize control or interfere with Aron's interests, he could utilize the company's influence to subdue them without resorting to using his private forces.

Aron understood that deploying his private forces would inevitably lead to the downfall of the government in question.

Therefore, the infrastructure company would provide a more subtle and indirect approach to safeguarding his assets and objectives.

This company would undertake the construction of most of the essential infrastructure to transform the country into a desirable place to live. Not only would the company focus on delivering high-quality products, but it would also strive to make them affordable to the point where people would question whether any profit was being made.

In the process of building these vital structures, Aron would provide employment opportunities to hundreds of thousands of individuals, offering them a chance to improve their livelihoods and elevate themselves from their previous circumstances as he gained influence over them.

The main project of this company involved the provision of electricity to the entire country, utilizing Lab Cİty's nuclear fusion technology. The cost-effectiveness of the energy produced through this method was expected to be so remarkable that it would create a significant advantage for his company, solidifying its position as the only provider in the market.

With an abundance of limitless and affordable energy at their disposal, The think tanks chose to plan all of the company's remaining plans to be designed to operate using electricity as the primary power source.

Another ambitious project from the think tanks involved establishing a comprehensive transportation network akin to the interstate highways in America.

However, instead of constructing roads, which fell under the government's purview, They chose to take inspiration from Russia's approach and planned to build a railway system spanning the entire country.

By connecting it to every part of the country, it would grant Aron unparalleled control over the transportation industry. Allowing Aron to hold a monopoly, further consolidating his influence and power.

These were merely two of the significant projects outlined in the comprehensive plan for the new company. The report revealed numerous other endeavors, including water desalination and various other initiatives. As Aron perused the document, a broad smile graced his face, and he couldn't help but feel a profound sense of satisfaction with what they had come up with.

"This is an exceptional plan," Aron remarked, placing the papers back on the table while the smile lingered upon his face.

[I agree with you, sir,] Nova said to Aron, her voice laced with concern. [When they presented me with the plan, I conducted several simulations, and the results were indeed promising. However, we need to devise an explanation for the fusion reactor. If someone were to discover its existence, it could potentially lead us into a conflict with the world, similar to the BugZapper incident. but on a world scale.]

Aron's smile wavered for a moment, his expression revealing his contemplation of the potential consequences. He furrowed his brow and posed a crucial question to Nova, seeking a possible solution: "How long would it take to construct a single reactor?"

[Given that we lack the manufacturing foundation for such intricate technology, even with Rina's assistance in acquiring cutting-edge machines, it would take approximately a year to complete the entire construction process,] Nova responded, her tone reflecting the practicality of the situation.

As he processed Nova's response, he shifted his focus to another crucial aspect and inquired, "And how is the progress on the reverse engineering of the atomic printer?"

[The conventional version has been successfully completed,] she began, [but implementing it in the current real world is unfeasible due to the lack of necessary technology.] Nova delivered her report, outlining the progress on the reverse engineering of the atomic printer.

"And what about the runic version?" he asked.

[For the runic version, the progress is nearing completion, but they have encountered an obstacle in the final step,] Nova reported.

"What seems to be the issue?" Aron inquired, seeing if he could find a solution.

Nova proceeded to provide a detailed report on the challenge they were facing with the runic version of the atomic printer. [Although they have successfully reconstructed the atomic printer by integrating runes with conventional machines, and despite incorporating runic intent during its creation, they have yet to devise an effective method for accurately manipulating the runes,] she explained.

With a smile on his face, he stated, "If that happens to be the sole issue, I have a solution for it." As opened the system's shop to find the remedy for the problem.
