《I'm the King Of Technology 》Chapter 1216: New Weapons!
Advertisement
The room, filled with many important personnel, suddenly grew extremely quiet when they saw the massive door at the back open magnificently.
The door that was honestly as large as an airplane hangar door, if not bigger, immediately called everyone's attention to it as they watched countless people in white lab coats push a few things into the indoor space.
Landon glanced at the scene and felt it funny.
The expressions of these people were all professional and so diligent that one would think that they were astronauts or something.
Not to say that what they did wasn't great or anything. But why all the heroics?
Landon had a hunch that if it were possible, these people would be floating from sheer pride.
Well, this was also a good thing.
It showed that they were overly confident about today's matters.
Today, the overseer in charge of the Weapon manufacturing industry was unfortunately sick. She had caught a bad flu and was so weak that she had to stay bedridden for a while.
Thus, it was one of her chief staff members, Supervisor Bailey that was assigned to oversee today's show. Everyone knew the 29-year-old Supervisor Bailey. So seeing her handle today's affairs wasn't surprising to them at all.
.
When it came to Bailey, she was hard-working and brilliant as well.
If she were a student, she would be within the top 10 of the class. Her mind sometimes worked like a calculator, and at times, as she could sometimes calculate some complex things at the drop of a hat.
For her intelligence, people were both helpless and envious too. If they had such a brain, wouldn't they finish their own tasks early and save them the time they took studying late at night or going overtime at work?
Bailey was highly liked in their industry because she was multi versatile and could do countless jobs at different positions too.
So at times, when people were stuck and didn't know how to bypass a problem, they would rush to her for help. Honestly, she was like an idol in the industry. And if she weren't already married with 3 children, many would've already proposed to her ages ago.
Even the other female workers couldn't help thinking that if she were a man, they too would also want to marry her as well.

Of course, Bailey was 29 and still considered old and already had a stable home too. So no one really had many thoughts on her.
Bailey had her raven hair tied in a bun while wearing her unbuttoned lab coat too. And underneath the lab coat, one could see that she was also wearing a standard black pantsuit, looking very professional and well-kept.
She moved amidst the other lab-coated staff pulling several rollable tables forward, along with her secretary at the side.
And once she arrived at the front, she smiled warmly and did a respectful bow at Landon.
"Your majesty, our respected guests... Welcome to the Weapon Manufacturing Industry's second Viewing."
With that, everyone flipped the document in their hands while listening to Bailey go through the agenda for today.
That's right. They were here to more or less critique the things shown today. If something needed improvements or were going in the wrong direction, then they would have to point it out fast.
.
When it came to matters like these, sure, the designers knew a lot, but they weren't the ones who would use them.
So for example, If armed force representatives held a weapon, they could instantly tell what felt wrong about it.
Was it too heavy to travel or carry during missions? Could the thickness or even the weight be involved? What about the firing range?
Questions like these would pop out. And after the show, there would be a more detailed question and answer session too.
Of course, people could also ask questions or raise concerns during the show since the items were right before their eyes, and they were more likely to notice issues then.
In short, the official Q&A session was there just in case there was something else they missed.
That said, for today's matter, over 18 people were assigned to take down the meeting/event minutes today.
With how excited the guests were, for sure, countless people would try raising questions at once, and if not careful, vital points might slip by.
So many people were tasked with writing the minutes.
Bear in mind that the Q&A session was also a detailed one too. So there would be a lot of vital and exciting points raised about the things liked, the things unnecessary about the designs, and the things that needed modifications.

And after the event, the minutes would be summarized, and the rest would be history.
.
Now, with the minor details said and done, Bailey clasped her hands enthusiastically while looking at the excited crowd.
"As stated in the agenda, we will have a look at the military Drones first! And to start, we'll be looking at the single-propeller drone!"
Like magic to their ears, everyone's body jolted in glee as they leaned forward and listened attentively.
Single Propeller Drone. Single propeller drone... Good name!
The group listened while Landon was wrapped up in his own little world instead.
One should know that there were countless sorts of drones that existed back in the world.
And of course, back then they were large plan-sized drones instead, and weren't the ones used in modern times.
The first ever drones were used in World War 1. It was an entire set up from the small miniature UAVs that Landon was trying to create.
Anyway, Landon had already started configuring and assimilating both old and new knowledge to suite Baymard's current state.
For now, he just wanted drones that had motion detectors and other basic features.
At present, the prototypes for the drones don't have cameras yet. Now, they were more focused on designing and understanding the flight functions of it.
For one, he couldn't make digital cameras without computers coming out.
With cameras, he would need to place the chip in a computer or even a device that would allow them to watch any footage.
Of course, the system had awarded him with all knowledge on camera drones.
So he could also use the old techniques too.
Some people might suggest to place the film in them and allowed the drones to fly with the cameras and record what they saw.
And after the drones descended, they would get the film, piece it together and watch it as if watching a movie.
Back in the 90s or so, there were indeed portable cameras that required one to change the film within it regularly too. So such a plan wouldn't be far stretched.
The film would like a stack of black slippery, rolled-up paper that could be inserted into the portable cameras at the time.
Heh. But he felt that such a plan would be too much of a hassle. After all, soon, the digital age popped up, and thing would definitely change greatly.
Phones changed, Tvs changed, and even the cameras would all change soon enough.
Over the months, the research team had been coming up with various suggestions, trying to wrap their brains over several details.
But Landon had long thought hard about what needed changing and what didn't. So he didn't plan on making unnecessary changes anytime soon.
.
One should know that it was only now that the team had managed to have a breakthrough and had been able to create a successful drone that could lift itself from the ground without going haywire or crashing after just 3 minutes up in the air.
Because he allowed them to make mistakes, they learned more and understood the foundations faster.
It was like working hard on a senior design project and continuously brainstorming over new arising issues.
At times, Landon would give them a hand or posters if free. But many-a-time, they thought things through themselves.
That said, it was only now that they had managed to pull this off. And so far, as per scheduled the internet and computers will be completed next year. So there was no point for him to waste his time embodying the old methods into the drone.
This year will soon end, and next year will be the start of Baymard's true digital age.
So he could only wait till them before finalizing matters on the drone and adding a camera feature to it.
Of course, those here today also knew about the future plans for the drones too.
They were here to check on the progress rate, ensuring that everything went according to schedule when considering all the funding and money spent on it.
They better be impressed, or they might have to cut the budget and focus on something else. And no one in the weapon industry working on this matter wanted this.
F***! How could they let it go after all their hard work?
No way. They couldn't let this happen, not after all they had done through with so many sleepless nights. Plus, they were also very pleased with what they had accomplished.
So without further ado, it was time to unleash the Drones!

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
