Master Of Time Chapter 10
Advertisement
All Hydra members and their underlings go to work, following the meticulous plans that I have created and distributed via the Hydra Network.
Everyone has their own tasks and timeline to follow.
It is to stop getting in each other's way.
For example, Doctor Mathew and his associates ensure the health and wellbeing of everyone on the island, including the native population. He has the highest authority to things that are medical related.
Jimmy and his men police the inhabitants on the island, but only for the people of Atlantis and their problems, which is often due to the constant change of policy and law by those that are in charge of such things.
Jimmy does not have the authority to tell the army and their leaders what to do, but it is unnecessary for him to.
As the army is composed of highly disciplined men who had fought through many deadly battles, there is no problem on their side.
Most of them are not even interested in mingling with the natives, so they stay in their own barracks and training grounds outside the city when working hours are over.
The city itself is being remodelled rapidly.
Buildings are destroyed and rebuild to 21st century standard.
I only allowed technical information up to the end of 21st century and the beginning of 22nd century to be accessed via the Hydra Network.
Even so, the construction and manufacturing methods that Hydra members has access to is advance beyond anything found in the 1960s.
There are some suggestions here and there to make things more efficient.
I accept the advices as long as it is logical and reasonable.
I like that the members of Hydra are putting up their own opinions and suggestions.
There is no point of having mindless drones as member of Hydra.
Everyone who has a ring must be able to think independently on their own.
It is to ensure that Hydra will continue to function if something happened to the chain of command.
Honestly, I don't think I will just disappear without leaving a notice or message behind, but who really knows.
Even I don't know since the future is constantly changing due to my current actions.
Keep track of everything gives me a headache, especially when anything that can happen will happen due to the multiverse theory.
Within months, the entire island of Atlantis is transformed. Thanks to my power of Time Manipulation, years of progress is done within a matter of weeks.

Foods is never a problem when the field can be ready for harvest within seconds.
Container ships come by to Atlantis every single day, unloading raw materials as well as people that I recruited.
Families of Hydra members and their underlings is also allowed to join their husband. It turns Atlantis into an actual country.
Some unauthorized ships that have found their way to the island of Atlantis are being told to leave. If they resisted, they are disposed of with extreme prejudice.
Despite that, news of Atlantis found far east of Bermuda soon spreads to the world.
However, heavily armed men and coastal gun emplacements dissuade anyone from coming close to investigate.
This is especially true when a battleship from Soviet Union got sunk more than a hundred kilometers from the island by the coastal gun batteries.
The ship and its hundreds crewmen were warned repeatedly on their approach, but they have chosen to ignore the warnings.
A single shell is enough to turn the massive USSR battleship into history.
The extreme range and deadliness of the coastal guns on such a small nation island alarmed the world superpowers.
They would spend the next few decades to investigate.
Similar to Chrono Holdings that has its tentacles into the Economic Sector, Hydra organization will only concern itself with the Technology Sector, especially military technology.
However, unlike Chrono Holdings, Hydra will maintain its own private army. A standing army is an absolute must for take over countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq when the time comes.
For that, Hydra also needs an expandable base, preferably one that is completely hidden from view.
I had prefer the Hydra Headquarter to be in orbit or on the moon, but sadly, I currently don't have the technological mean for that yet.
I can only choose between underwater or underground.
Contrast to a subterranean base, an underwater base allows for rapid expansion.
Water, is after all, softer than dirt and rocks. It also doesn't cause carve in like Jonathan demonstrates in the city of Atlantis.
The ocean allows Hydra to test its weapons without any repercussion.
The ocean also protect the base from nuclear strikes that will probably come with time and infamy.
Atlantis is merely a staging ground for the construction of the Hydra HQ. It is also chosen because of the geothermal vent deep below the crust, right beneath the city.

Thermal energy is the most renewable energy available on the planet.
It is also easy to access and harvest if you knows the mean to.
A lot of money and time when into research of heat transference and conversion in the future. This is because the sun is the most powerful energy source of all.
Stellar matters is drained from the sun to fuel many constructions in space like a Dyson swarm.
The planet buster railgun that destroys Mars is built entirely from matters extracted from the sun itself.
Unfortunately, thermal energy extracts from volcanic veins and magma chambers doesn't have the same great output like extracting directly from the sun itself, but it is sufficient until a fusion reactor comes online.
I will build other type of bases when I have the technology to do so.
Maybe the first Shield HQ will be in orbit?
What does Shield do, exactly?
Just like its name – Strategic Homeworld Intervention Enforcement and Logistic Division – it deals with intervention, enforcement and logistics. It is more logistic at the moment as the company takes care of all my constructions and manufacturing needs.
Note that Shield stands for Homeworld rather than Homeland.
Earth is and always will be the cradle of humanity.
Shield will find its way into other sector eventually, such as security and information.
Chrono Holdings already paves its way into Banking Sector after their success in the stock market.
With so much money at is disposal, it is foolish not to. Besides, its success has cause a lot of accusation about insider trading and monopoly.
Problematic when the US Government got involved, but it is nothing Henry couldn't deal with by himself via bribing, connections and favors. These kind of dealings will come back to bite him in the ass later, but it won't be for many more years.
I will sort that out when it is time.
There are also other organizations that I am setting up in 1955 via Chrono Holdings.
Each of these companies will dominate a particular sector such as the Entertainment, Pharmaceutical, Agriculture, Energy, and Electronic Sector.
Pharmaceutical is next due to me needing a way to explain why I am forever young and healthy.
A health company also gives me the means to distribute healthcare products to everyone, especially those that work for me and sacrifice for the cause.
Having perfect health and longevity is the dream of many people in America and the world, so I named the new health company as Infinite Health with a snake biting its own tail, forming an infinity symbol.
It is being fully funded by Chrono Holdings like every other divisions.
At least until Infinite Health becomes profitable.
Being funded by Chrono Holdings isn't a bad thing. It explains why Chrono Holdings controls so many other companies.
Of course, only companies that directly under my control are important.
Since I am not interested in running a health company, a close friend of Doctor Mathew takes charge instead.
That person knows many health professionals and experts in this field, so he is trying to recruit them at the moment.
Money isn't a problem.
As for me, I am more interest in the Entertainment Sector. This includes movies, music, literatures and games.
I have a lot of information on the entertainment industry in my personal repository.
The virtual intelligence, Selene will help me sort out all the information, allowing me to dominate the Entertainment Industry.
With everything is in place, I am preparing to take the lead of a new company in the 1990.
It is called Terra Entertainment, sound like terror.
Why did I choose that time instead of much earlier? It is because a lot of things are ready by then.
It is also because I somewhat miss living in the 21st century. Jumping to the 1990 to start the company gives me a good 10 years of preparation.
Furthermore, being the King of Hollywood doesn't sound so bad.
However, before I left this time and space, someone calls out.
"Lord Maxwell! Lord Maxwell! I think we have a problem."
The man takes a deep breath before speaking up again.
"Princess… I mean Ambrosia just have a baby."
Those that are part of comfort corps are not being treated too harshly despite their punishment. Most men are very gentle lover. They actually pay the girls for their time.
Some men didn't even want sex. They just want someone to talk to.
"Okay. What that has to do with me?"
"Well. It's yours, sir. At least the good doctor said so."
I froze up at the news.
