DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 24 Foundational Work
When Dante appeared on the other side, he was standing at the entrance of a small self-contained room that had a tiny yard as well as a strange machine glowing with a green color that looked like a dustbin at the front, which Dante knew was a Quantum Transporter.
Basically, it delivered packages ordered online or even food. No more 3 days shipping or same-day delivery, this was now instant shipping, not even international, but intergalactic!
You might wonder, if they had this technology, then why couldn't they transport humans and invalidate Dante's so-called superpower?
Well, most of the clever folks would already be able to guess that the reason was pretty simple and obvious.
Quantum Transportation involved breaking down an item from its molecular and atomic structure into quarks and q-bits and then reassembling them at a designated quantum reception point.
As you could guess, breaking down inanimate objects with no life? Pretty fine most times.
Doing the same to a living being? Very, very ill-advised. Also, please do not put in plants or animals, you sick fuck.
Dante entered the building after being given the virtual key which was downloaded to his AI chip and tied to his ID. As such, the entire building came under his control, every facility controlled by his mind as if he was psychic.
The door automatically opened for him, showing him his living space for the period of time he would be enrolled here. The Eternal Academy was a place where every bit of land was like gold, because the uncountable number of people in the universe all battled to send their children here to study.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Of course, while they had the technology to expand the landmass and take in more, why would they do that? To control the enrollment and keep the prestige, as well as limit outside interference, it was best to fix the area completely in terms of living space and only add land for necessary facilities that would bring more objective value to the academy.
So even in a super advanced sci-fi universe, schools were still greedy fucks withholding generational knowledge and putting results over nurturing.
Then again, what did anyone expect?
Unless the government was fully run by impartial and untouchable AI, the human element will always find a way to blacken even the whitest canvas.
Dante noticed that his apartment had one bedroom, one study, a kitchen, and a living room as well as two bathrooms. For its size, it was pretty elite and almost as good as his earth bathroom.
But on this floating landmass in space, it was practically a 3000-acre villa. Dante knew full and well that this was a privilege for not only being in the Unique Batch, but also for being a pure human, his link to the Portinari family as well as his high-rank superpower.
The last one likely made up 90% of the reason.
With his brief encounter with the Eternal Academy, Dante's conclusion was that this academy firmly cared about your objective value and would treat you exactly according to your perceived value.
Dante had a feeling that Xue Bing's behavior might not be unique, but a common disposition and treatment here. If so, then there was no incentive to be 'low-profile'. It seemed the higher your profile, the higher your value and the higher your treatment.
Understanding this, Dante settled down and did not cause trouble. First, he checked out his residence and got familiar with it before downloading everything that was public about Quantum Transportation.
Unfortunately, not every detail was available, but it was enough to do a lot with. Coupled with the other technologies he had 'borrowed', it was enough to do a lot of things on earth for a long time to come.
Dante sat down on his bed and opened the Quantum Network, and then found the most popular e-commerce store on the network which was called… you guessed it, the Etramall. He browsed the stores and then bought two things that he needed.
The two items came to less than a hundredth-thousandth of an Etran, and Dante got it delivered to his Quantum Teleporter. He went out and then the machine spat out his packaged items like a vending machine, making Dante smile.
He took the two items and placed them in the pocket of his captain's jacket and then sat on his bed once more. With a light breath, he returned to his home universe, appearing right in his living room where he left.
He was seated on the couch and the apartment was silent apart from the hum of electronics. Dante had left his old iPhone on the table but he no longer needed it as his AI chip connected to Earth's communications network, whether cellular or internet, and then accessed Dante's relevant personal accounts.
The reason this could be done easily was that it stripped the details from Dante's phone and e-sim. Well technically, he could also easily hack into the details of everyone on the planet, but he was not really interested in that right now.
He was still focused on settling himself in the Eternal Universe and acquiring more standing as well as personal power before dipping his fingers into the home universe. However, that did not mean that there was nothing to do, and this was why he came back.contemporary romance
One thing about the modern era is that with the advent of the internet, many things became traceable, and a lot of information was shared really quickly across the globe.
As such, if he waited for a few months later when his Bionics and Psionics were set, his livelihood there was secured and he had better technology to start taking over, he would experience extreme pushback because he would literally appear out of nowhere with all these ground-breaking things and accumulate power too fast.
Many factions and governments would feel alarmed and begin to go against him in every way, using financial, political, and in the worst case, legal methods to hinder as well as crush him.
The simplest way to prevent or control this was to create a trail, a public and clear - as well as trustworthy and irrefutable - roadmap that led to his current location.
For example, if Dante started releasing these scientific technologies through various companies and labs under his name without the roadmap, that would be fine initially until the questions came.
The questions were usually very piercing, like where did the money come from? Secondly, they would ask, where did he get his qualifications? Thirdly, where did he learn this knowledge and how did he get there when so many 'smarter' people before him failed?
He did not necessarily need to answer these questions, but they could be slowly twisted in a way that would cause him endless headaches later. As such, it was just wiser and better to build a slow roadmap unless he planned to use military force to take over.
To that end, Dante was planning to solve the three questions of money, education, and qualification. To acquire that, he needed to take organic and logical means from his current location and position in society, so the first item he bought was indispensable.
Dante opened the package and removed the seal, placing the item on his table in his room. It was a small black box with no opening except for a port to receive power. However, Dante did not dare plug it into any socket in his room for this small black box was a generation 3 miniature quantum Raspberry PI.
In other words, it was a pocket-sized quantum computer!
Its specs were too long to explain, but it could virtually destroy any form of technology in this universe even considering the various alien races Dante happened to discover when he connected to this universe's Quantum Network.
And yet, this thing cost him the equivalent of $200 Earth dollars.
Dante then took out the second thing he bought and then assembled it following the manufacturer's instructions. He opened the tank and poured in water to fill it up then sealed it tightly using the instructions.
After that, he hesitated before trusting the Eternal Universe's technology level and the products sky high reviews before turning it on. With a soft hum, it came to life and the water in the tank began to boil then fold crazily.
The indicator near the output port shone green, meaning that it was functioning perfectly. Dante's pale face regained color and he sighed with relief.
The reason for his reaction was because this product was a 100% efficient ultra-miniature nuclear fusion reactor. It was a tabletop device meant to power the most common devices of the Eternal Universe and was equivalent to the lowest quality power bank.
It only cost like $3 and was equivalent to the average child's science fair project in the Eternal Universe, something that they could smash together with ease.
Yet this thing could likely power every household on this planet.
Comparisons were truly odious…
