RUST -723
It has been said that science reflects human imagination. This means that the technology imagined by humans will become reality in no time.
Quantum computers were also a technology of the imagination, as were grape clusters and human-like artificial intelligence that used the human brain itself as a unit.
Human imagination was already sufficient, and the singularity of the divine kingdom answered that imagination.
“I heard that electricity and water are free in the floating city?”
“Electricity and water bills are all free?”
“So does that mean if I drive an electric car, I can charge it for free and ride it?”
“They say the public transportation system will change completely. Are there transfer stations? They say they’ll create those too, and they’ll install trams.”
“The heating bill will be incredibly cheap. What if electricity is free?”
“Hey, I found out that it’s not completely free. They said that only the capacity included in the basic management fee is free, and anything beyond that is subject to a progressive rate.”
“Well, if there was no capacity limit, crazy people would go crazy.”
“That’s realistic, it’s not unlimited and free.”
“Anyway, they say that heating costs will drop significantly.”
“how?”
“They said they were supplying hot water?”
“You’re crazy. You’re crazy. I’m applying for a place to live. Should I apply now?”
With the advent of cold nuclear fusion, we have access to nearly infinite power and thermal energy. And floating cities are the first to experience the singularity.
The first fruit of the singularity was freedom from energy costs, a simple but by no means denigrating element.
This was because energy costs were essential for living a comfortable life in extreme environments that ranged from extreme cold to extreme heat.
“Oh. By the way, you said that you were eligible to move into the floating city, right?”
“Researchers and their immediate families?”
“Hey. What is this?”
There was an item stating that a certain level of skill was required in any field to enter the floating city.
“Then that’s right.”
“It wasn’t a complete lottery.”
“They are all like that.”
“The inner city area is also Vladislav Town. It’s only for people related to the Vladislav Tower.”
Even though it was an obvious provision, many people were disappointed.
“Huh? Look at this here.”
“If you are a soldier, can you move in with your wife and children, and if you are an officer or commissioned officer, can you move in with your parents?”
“No matter how great the floating city is, it’s not the military.”
“Then. I heard there was almost a war with ants this time too.”
“Ah- you’re talking ants, haven’t you seen that video? The one where the ants shoot water guns out of their butts.”
“It’s not a water gun, it’s an anemone.”
“Yeah, formic acid. When you shoot that, the rebar just melts and the concrete rots.”
“Ants are dangerous, after all.”
“Because there are a lot of numbers.”
“If the price for fighting those monster ants is to get into the floating city, then I’m fine with it.”
“It worked out well with the ants. What’s the point of fighting?”
“That’s right, ants help with maintenance work too.”
“What the hell are you helping with? They’re just taking their weight in meatballs. Do you know how gross it feels to work with a stray?”
“Are you an ant-phobe?”
“FUCK!!! What kind of hate is this? If I say I don’t like ants, is that hate? If I say they make me feel dirty, is that hate?”
“You. You need to watch what you say.”
“I’m getting along well with the ants, but if something happens, I’ll really be kicked out.”
“No, even if I say I don’t like something, is it still considered hate? Punishment is common, and if it’s not enough, exile is possible…”
“Shut up. Please. You’re going to get kicked out for being so annoying.”
“Just keep your mouth shut. I don’t want to be labeled a hater if we stay together.”
“Okay, I got it. I don’t know what to say.”
“You are free to speak, but do you know about hate speech? Last time, you were expelled from a group of kids who hated each other because of their race. How many times have you been on TV saying that there is a zero tolerance policy for hate speech, regional conflicts, etc.”
“Stop it. Stop it. I was wrong. But honestly, why don’t you just kill those ants with pesticide? Why are you using all that singularity technology to make pesticide?”
Suddenly a drone and a crow flew in.
[I received a report of an ant hater.]
Kaaaak!
A crow sitting on the head of a man who was talking about pesticides pecked the man’s head with its beak. It means this guy.
“Ahhh- Did you see this? Did you all see this? A crow is pecking at my head right now. I told you crows are watching us. They’re called crows, but they’re watching us!”
[Currently, I request your voluntary escort to the police station on charges of inciting hatred.]
“Dog shit- Look at this. Is this normal? People should come first. Is it normal to come running and drag you to the police station just because you cursed at an ant?”
Kaaaaaaah! (This kid is out of his mind!)
The crow began to peck at the man’s head.
“Ouch! Aah! Ouch! I’m going. I’m going. Stop it.”
Foodduck – The sound of flapping wings and shuddering cries of pain slowly faded away.
“That guy, that thing. That’s gonna be a headache.”
“Ha- I told you to take it easy.”
The people who had gathered dispersed one by one.
So, the topics of moving into floating cities, the war against insects, and the relationships and hatred between different species have become topics of conversation among people.
“Honestly, even if it’s not a floating city, Detroit has become a place where people can live comfortably.”
“The modular nuclear power plant provides a stable supply of electricity. Compared to the past, electricity rates are also reduced by 20-25%.”
“It would be nice if it were free if it were below the standard usage, like in a floating city, but the electricity rates in Detroit are not bad. Considering the cost of moving, it’s okay to just stay there.”
“Yeah. Don’t even think about enlisting. Didn’t you see the spider video this time?”
“Video of the Royal Guard desperately escaping?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“I got goosebumps when I saw that. What kind of traps does a spider have? Double or triple…”
“In the southern region, there are still cannibals and vampires, and in the outskirts, they are still fighting mutated monsters.”
“It’s true that once you enlist, you never know when you’ll be gone.”
“The Royal Guard was equipped with the latest exosuits, so they were able to escape and such. If they had gone as regular infantry and worn regular exosuits, it would have been over a long time ago.”
The previously announced qualification notice for moving into a floating city has also been gaining attention again. And in the midst of all this, ultra-small core technology has been announced.
“They say a micro-core has been developed?”
“Core? Is that like an arc reactor?”
Woooooooooo!
“Ants and spiders, FUCK! It’s called a heart attack.”
“Ultra-small core!!!”
“Sparta!!!”
“I’m Iron···.”
“What th···” is finally coming.
The tiny core has sparked imagination.
Even the armored exosuit alone was a technology that was close to a dream, but if an ultra-small reactor was added to it, it would be possible to create equipment that existed only in imagination.
It was not impossible to create infantry combat equipment that appeared in space war games or to have a steel man suit from a movie. Men were excited about micro-nuclear reactors and futuristic weapons.
‘Huh? If there’s something like that, it might be worth fighting the bugs?’
“A mutant monster? I think I can beat it.”
‘If this is the case, don’t you think it’ll be okay to enlist?’
With the addition of qualifications for living in a floating city, applications for voluntary enlistment skyrocketed.
“I. Teacher, you’re so old…”
“What’s wrong with my age? I’m still an Iraq War veteran. Huh-”
“Isn’t there a quota system for female soldiers?”
“···There is none. If you fail the basic physical test, you will definitely fail.”
However, there was no truth. This was because the punishment for truth and bullying was severe in the Holy Kingdom.
“Isn’t it dangerous to make reinforced armor with a micro-core?”
The hood in charge of information and security spoke cautiously. It was a technology that could turn into a walking nuclear bomb if done wrong.
“There’s no problem controlling it since it has an assistant AI. It’s made of new materials so it can withstand impacts well. But let’s replace the guards first and then mass-produce it after we’ve accumulated enough data.”
Everyone agreed with Maru’s answer that while the deployment would be expedited, the distribution to the entire army would be done after observing the situation.
The limitations of battery charging were clear in the fight against spiders, cannibals, and vampires. In order to maintain stable power and secure operational time, energy conversion to a micro-core was inevitable.
“The Knights also need a core machine.”
PD also requested supplies, saying that the Holy Knights also need core gas.
“···Let’s do that.”
“thank you.”
The Holy Knights were currently protecting the HOLLY Church in forts in Canada and the outskirts of Michigan.
After the cannibal invasion and the mutant monster incident, the HOLLY cultists participated in the rebuilding of the Canadian stronghold and the outer forts, and they built churches along with evangelism. The Holy Knights were mobilized to protect such cultists.
They protected the village, fortress, and HOLLY Church from attacks by mutated monsters and those who had fallen for the temptation of cannibalism and turned into cannibals.
“As summer approaches, the attacks by mutant monsters are becoming more severe. Defense is fine, but supply problems are increasing due to disruptions in air transport.”
The problem of air supply soon became a problem for crows. As the weather got warmer, flocks of birds and flies became more and more violent, and to get through them, supply flights needed an escort of crows.
In winter, when there were no flocks of birds or flies, a small number of escort crows would suffice, but in spring and summer, it was different. A supply transport ship needed a considerable number of escort crows, but there were not enough of them.
Of course, the crows also recruited wild crows, but they were still short on numbers. To make up for this, they had to give birth to chicks. But these were not even laying eggs.
I don’t like it when other birds come, even if they don’t call me Aldo.
“You brought it up last time. What on earth is the reason you’re not having children? This time, it won’t go away. Tell me why.”
“Ah- Again- they say the environment isn’t good for giving birth.”
You said the same thing last time, and now you’re talking like a dog bone.
“Okay. Then, let’s make it so that only crows that have given birth are eligible to move into the floating city. Then, go to Europe and Asia to recruit crows using the Black Drake-class airship. Or, bring a crow to marry from there.”
“Huh? Huh? Crow international marriage and immigration?”
“What can we do when we have insufficient air power? Even if we were to have offspring now, it would take at least 4~5 years to produce one. We have to immigrate.”
“Eh-eh, is that okay?”
“What’s wrong? The supply is currently in turmoil. If possible, bring over some of the ones who want to mate here, so that we can have an international crow marriage. Oh, and magpies too.”
“Magpie. Magpie? I heard you don’t get along well with crows.”
“I told the crows who would stay in the outer fortress their whole lives to stay quiet unless they came out.”
“Yes. Four.”
Magpies were distinct territorial animals. They had a similarly sharp head to a crow. Once they had established themselves in the outer fortress and become acquainted with the villagers, they would take care of defending and monitoring the area.
Maru said, looking at the crow sitting on the nurse’s shoulder with its beak tightly shut.
“If the crows are bothering you, tell me right away. There are also new kids here, so the atmosphere is a bit loose.”
“Ah. Okay, I understand.”
A quiet crow, perhaps noticing that the atmosphere on the floor was unusual.
“Catch crows and magpies in Japan, Korea, northern China, and the Russian Far East and eastern regions, and check out information about those areas. In particular, check the situation in China and Japan.”
“···yes.”
Maru’s gaze, which had been watching the nurse, turned to Ms. Kim.
“Go and come back with the nurse.”
“···Can I go after replacing it with new armor?”
Even if you go, you should bring new equipment.
“Okay, replace it with a core-type gas cylinder and depart.”
“···Okay, I understand.”
Maru’s gaze turned to Ms. Kim.
‘You know? China and Japan. I’m looking for information related to altars.’
‘Aren’t you telling me to find information on the altar fragments and Chinese bioweapon information? Don’t worry about it.’
‘Don’t overdo it. Since it’s a core gas, there won’t be any energy problems.’
‘That’s the composite coil gun that Dan Brown gave me a while ago. Let me use that.’
Kim Yang and Maru exchanged glances.
The apparent purpose was to recruit international crows for marriage and immigration. Although the purpose was to recruit magpies, internally, reconnaissance in China and Japan and tracking of fragments of the altar began.
