A few days after deciding to make shells for the artillery turrets.
I could see a pitch-black sphere hanging from a chain with Cooper.
“It’s all done. The surface treatment is completely finished.”
“oh······.”
The approximate diameter is over 30cm.
The turret was larger than expected due to the size of the turret.
Woohoo.
Just getting closer made me feel gravity.
It wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t get out on my own, but there was a force that was by no means small pulling me.
Cooper added to me.
“It’s not just the iron that has gravity. Among the materials that come out as byproducts, there are some that have even greater gravity.”
It might not have much effect on larger creatures like ogres, but it would definitely be effective on lower-level creatures like zerglings and goblins.
Considering that most monster waves are about quantity rather than quality, these black spheres were sure to be a great help to Pax FC’s defense.
Now the remaining task is······.
“I wish I could put this in a subspace······.”
It was a matter of accommodating this Yuncheol-gu into the of the subspace.
Because it was just a lump of material made of 100% pure meteorite.
I asked Pax,
“Can we put this Yuncheol-gu into a subspace by accepting the category?”
Tiring!
[Category not found.]
I was able to hear the immediate answer that it was impossible.
Because it was a substance whose name and purpose had not yet been properly determined.
“then······.”
After thinking about it for a moment, I changed the question and asked Pax again.
In other words, by setting the purpose of ‘Uncheolgu’.
“Can we include this ‘two-shot put’ in the category acceptance?”
Tiring!
[Can be accepted in the ‘Athletics/Shot Put’ category.]
Surprisingly, as soon as we specified its usefulness through a name, it was accepted into the category.
If you think about it carefully, it was natural.
No matter what substance an object has, it is human interpretation that determines its function.
Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that the problem I had been struggling with had been solved······.
[Registration fee calculation······.]
Tiring!
[The cost for registration is 131,167 magic stones.]
“Ten······thirty thousand?”
Pax brought shocking news.
[The value of the object determined by the awakening system.]
The difference is that it uses the byproducts of monsters.
And the point was that it was made by lumping together dozens of those by-products.
A subspace where the cost required for registration is calculated based on the value of the object.
In light of that ability······ it also meant that the value of the monster byproduct was that great.
It was an expense beyond imagination, but······.
“······I can’t help it. Put it in.”
[Understood.] [Received 131,167 magic stones] [Remaining magic stones are 201,933]
This time I decided to spend it.
The magic stones needed to reach subspace level 8 are a whopping 600,000.
Not only was it not an amount that could be overlooked right away, but it was also a time when Pax FC needed a dedicated weapon to prepare for the coming wave.
Fortunately, it was worth the price.
Even before the Dwarves had a chance to draw the mana circuit using the reactor, it was possible to easily strengthen it up to level 5 simply because the materials were different.
“then······.”
I registered information about Yun Cheol-gu in the subspace laboratory.
Then I went straight to Yongsan and headed to Hangang-daero with my father.
To gauge what kind of power ‘Uncheolgu’ can exert on enemies.
This time, my father stretched out both arms, and red holographic turrets rose up one after another, starting from Hangang University.
As the new round shell was wound onto the automatic mainspring and flowed into the gun barrel······.
Crack!
Now, as if ready, my father clapped his hands.
“It’s done now, Jeong-gyeom.”
“Then I’ll go.”
Jugglings, goblin shamans, lycanthropes, and even stone golems.
I entered the information about the monsters I had obtained through the Chamber of Commerce facility into the subspace laboratory, and summoned a stone golem, my greatest enemy, across the road.
Kuung······ Thump······.
A huge stone golem walking from afar.
Even though it was clearly a hologram, the red afterimage that overlaid the surrounding scenery shook along with it, creating the illusion that the earth’s axis was shaking.
“It’s so huge.”
A giant about 30 meters tall.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff was built like a half-castle surrounded by Emes’ materials, but right now, it felt like the stone golem was walking towards us like a giant castle wall.
Kwung! Boom!
As the guy gradually picked up speed and crossed about halfway down the street······.
Kwaaaaang!
With an ear-piercing roar, ‘Uncheolgu’ flew towards the golem.
The moment when a giant lump of iron that had been strengthened to level 5 clashed with a golem that was as big as level 6.
The winner is······.
“Okay!”
It was a black sphere made of iron.
Parsak!
The golem, whose chest was shattered, fell to the floor with a crash,
“This works! Good, very good!”
My father also clenched his fist and shouted in delight.
Of course, the turret wasn’t in perfect condition.
A strange shell that generates its own gravity.
The golem didn’t attack at all, but the artillery turret was already half destroyed just by firing that very same sphere.
All it took was one shot for the turret to lose its functionality.
“Even so, it’s only one shot… Are you okay?”
Meanwhile, my father reacted as if it was nothing serious.
“You can just rebuild them from scratch. Something like a bombardment turret… Well, you can build them all in a day or two. You can build them in multiple places at the same time. But anyway….”
Rather, it seemed to be focused on a different direction.
“Did you say your name was ‘Uncheolgu’?”
“Right? Because it’s a ball made of iron.”
“Isn’t there another name? This one sounds just like a person’s name. It kind of reminds me of Mr. Kim next door······.”
“then······.”
I thought it might be okay to use a different name for the shells.
This black lump of iron will be used not only by me, but also by my father and all of the Pax FC’s awakened architectural abilities.
After a short period of deliberation, I answered my father.
How about a ‘meteorite bomb’?
After sending a large quantity of ‘meteorite bombs’ to my father.
I went straight to the Joint Chiefs of Staff Headquarters and met with Operations Director Yoo Seong-cheol.
Perhaps, now he is no longer just a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but could be said to be the Chief of Operations for Pax FC.
“How are you?”
“Haha, I’m so busy these days that I don’t even have time to breathe.”
In effect, the management and treatment of civilians was left to his own hands.
In addition to maintaining public order in Korea, they were also responsible for protecting citizens through cooperation with local representatives.
Swish swish.
He pushed aside a pile of papers and a few walkie-talkies on the table, poured me a cup of water, and asked me.
“So what brings you here today?”
“I have something to discuss. I want to really establish the framework for Pax FC.”
It must have been a topic that interested Yoo Seong-cheol as well.
I slowly told him the story of Jericho, the Awakened One of Olympus, with shining eyes.
A story about Olympus, business, and field effects.
“I see. It’s a business······.”
Recently, Pax FC has been growing at an incredible rate.
Thanks to the efforts of the Avalon people, we were able to obtain a by-product, and we were able to obtain the Gehanna fire that could be used to process the by-product, and we were able to actually develop a ‘meteorite bomb’, which helped to strengthen Pax FC’s defense capabilities.
But our goal was to get the ‘field effect’ of the business, and there were still some steps left to go towards that.
“I’m thinking of making an organizational chart while I’m at it.”
It is none other than having an orderly organizational system.
Because that was a prerequisite for becoming a business, as Jericho had said.
“But we have a world government······.”
“In order to do that world government······it seems like we need to do some concept work.”
Needless to say.
The Pax FC world government should be the strongest shield for humanity.
If we can create a field effect, Pax FC can truly become the protector of humanity.
That’s why.
Before going into the next fight, we decided to revise Pax FC’s organizational chart.
“I just had something in mind.”
“······I see. When it comes to organizational systems, I am an expert. Please tell me.”
“I’ll tell you in order. First······.”
No matter what anyone says, Pax FC’s identity is that it is a logistics center.
In keeping with that identity, I decided to categorize Pax FC’s power into three stages.
First is the ‘main terminal’.
Yongsan, where the Joint Chiefs of Staff is located, and Elvenheim are the central bases of Pax FC.
The second is the ‘subterminal’.
A city that can withstand the waves on its own, without my help.
Considering the various power situations, it seemed that Busan, Beijing, New York, and Prague could barely meet this standard.
All the rest were ‘agencies’.
Areas that cannot handle monster waves on their own or require separate support in case of emergency.
In fact, most of the regions under Pax FC belonged to this area.
“Haha······ It really is a logistics center.”
Yoo Seong-cheol, who had been laughing for a moment, soon grasped the essence of these three distinctions.
“The key is the subterminal. That’s where the real power starts······.”
“That’s right. Our immediate goal is to grow dozens of ‘dealerships’ to the level of ‘sub-terminals.’”
As long as we have a subspace portal, we can support them at any time.
But there were limits to that too.
‘I can’t help you forever······.’
No matter how much I move around, in the end I only have one body.
However, if the ‘agencies’ grew into ‘sub-terminals’, they would be able to handle the monster waves on their own, and at least buy the necessary time.
“That’s a good direction. If that happens, Colonel Kim’s shoulders will feel a lot lighter.”
It wasn’t impossible.
Because turrets carrying ‘meteorite bombs’ were already being installed in each region.
Perhaps this monster wave will be the catalyst for some areas to rise from being dealerships to sub-terminals.
If you go further and become a business and have field effects······.
“From then on, I guess I’ll be able to play in bigger waters.”
A powerless group is bound to be trampled by a larger group.
However, if we could only respond to them at a stinging level, even if it was not on equal terms, it was clear that the number of invaders provoking the Earth would decrease significantly.
To keep Earth out of the orbit of the war of aggression that surrounds the multiverse.
Isolating the Earth from the cosmic asura of death and killing.
This is how I thought of ‘putting Earth into subspace’.
“I see. As expected, the Emperor of the Fulfillment Empire thinks······.”
“······And maybe we can go one step further from there.”
That wasn’t all.
I felt this while processing Yuncheol this time.
That the matter of this universe has infinite possibilities.
If you collect byproducts, imprint magical circuits, invent new items, and combine them, you might be able to create something you’ve never imagined before.
I added the last thing to Yoo Seong-cheol.
“You never know. Maybe we can give those Chamber of Commerce guys a real kick in the butt.”
Perhaps thinking of the future that is just around the corner.
