Chapter 204: Changes, Progress
Inside the warehouse, Silas could be seen working with a serious expression on his face.
"Luna, tell Hephaestus that he and the construction workers are to immediately begin the construction work on the Fusion Power Plant."
Silas was already done with creating the AGI and it has already gone through its learning process. All that's left now is for it to start doing what it was created for.
After Silas told Luna to pass down his order, he decided to focus his attention on the next thing: creating a quantum computer.
As usual, Silas wasn't going to settle for anything average as what he plans to create is a quantum internet. He knew that very soon and in the very near future, regular internet would no longer go serve him anymore.
He plans to create a massive quantum computer that would face no problem even when handling world scale computing. Something that Silas knew wasn't far off.
He also plans to create a quantum internet while he's creating the quantum computer.
"A quantum computer and quantum internet... What a perfect combo!" Silas said as he walked to the Atomic Printer and clicked on its screen.
The screen lit up and he started clicking in what he wants the Atomic Printer to print for him. As he clicked it in, a soft hum was heard as the Atomic Printer clicked into action.
The first thing he created are the qubits. Since he already has a even more advanced method of creating them, Silas intends to create the best of the best.
A few minutes later, one of the compartment of the Atomic Printer opened up, displaying some sets of qubits that has been printed.
Silas took them out of the compartment and placed them on of the working table beside him.
He clicked on the Atomic Printer's screen again and inputted the information of the next thing he wants it to print.
Silas continued his work in that pattern, printing the components he needs and assembling them on the working table.
.....
A couple of miles from the warehouse, massive construction vehicles, machines could be seen of occupying a huge area.
A group of people in heavy PPE were standing beside the machines and vehicles, and looking at a man that was standing on a makeshift platform. They had been told to pause whatever they are doing and gather at where they stood. And just as expected, wherever there's a crowd, there's always noise.

The construction workers chatted enthusiastically as they waited for the construction manager.
"Guys, we got ourselves another job." The construction manager shouted over a loudspeaker, as he stood on the platform.
Everyone working on the site simultaneously paused their conversation and raised their head to look at him with a mixture of shock and disbelief on their faces.
The project manager smiled when he saw the expression on their faces. He understood what they were thinking and he also wasn't an exception.
"Yes, it's true. I know that all of you are shocked and in disbelief, and you're not the only one. I just got information from the headquarter and also, I would like to tell you all that we have a new assistant. Everyone, let's welcome Hephaestus."
Immediately a soft hum was heard from all the machines present at the site.
Everyone on the site were shocked when they saw this. They didn't understand what was going on one bit and they felt very bugged out by it.
The construction manager smiled when he saw this. The truth is that he was also as shocked as everyone wheh he got the two news.
In that last six months, they have been working non-stop after not working for years. This made them very happy and it made them even happier when their pay was raised a couple of months back after all the construction companies in the country was purchase by their new owner.
If he's to be honest, he loves as things are going but he has never thought that one day he would have to work with an AI on a construction work.
It was just a couple of minutes ago that he received news on a new construction project and it was said that it's going to be bigger than anything they have ever worked on.
Not just big, it would be massive and it's a very delicate project that will require the on ground presence of professionals and experts, but instead of them, they were given what is called an AGI.
The construction manager didn't understand what an AGI was until it was explained to him. He also noticed that the person that was explaining things to him also felt the same way he felt.
After he understood what Hephaestus was, he got scared and worried about his and everyone's future but after he was reassured that it was nothing more than an assistant. He finally calmed down.
Not it's time for him to start explaining to the construction workers on the site.
.....
A shocking and major upheaval has started taking place in every single offices related to Venezuela military, security and defense.
It all started after the major players in the areas came back from a meeting. It was only those close to them that had a little idea of how the meeting went.
The sizes of the changes that happened were massive and significant. It was all smiles as those who were let go tried to beg so that they can continue to stay but they knew that nothing could be done after they heard that it's an order from above.
It was worse for those who weren't qualified for their positions and got it through the connections.

Inside a room, Daniel, Elizabeth, David and other Phenomenals were gathered around a table, and seriously discussing something.
"Seriously, how do they expect us to trace and capture someone with such little information? Even if we do trace him successfully, how do we capture him? I'm very sure that everyone remembered what happened vividly that day? We were in no way a match for him. He threw us around like a ragdoll.
Guys, I know that we all want to do our due diligence and all, but we are trying to awaken a slumbering behemoth here. Call me scared but I'd rather be alive than dead. I think we should find a nice way to tell President Adrian that we failed." A young man with brown hair and blue eyes said.
Elizabeth looked at the young man for moment and sighed. She understood very well that he meant well and what he said was right but... She knew that they have no choice but to find this Silas.
Others may not know if the inner working of the agency but she does. She knew a lot of things that others don't and this is why she wants to do as she's told and get things over with.
"Demetri, you know what? You don't have to follow us out on field missions anymore. You can stay here and help out with things," Elizabeth said.
Daniel was watching the fiasco and he couldn't help but chuckle when he heard what Elizabeth said.
'Silas.... Silas... Just you wait, I'm coming for you.'
