I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 102
Advertisement
Today was the 19th of August, and only 12 days were left before the month ended.
Right now, there where currently 5200 men who were assigned to construct these sites, 1000 men who were building the greenhouse, and 6000 workers who were doing road construction in the District E.
So far only the Water & Sewage plant, as well as the power plant have been completed.
While the central heating heating plant was only 98% done, as the workers were still installing essential fixtures like sinks, to all buildings on the site.
Since the first 2 plants were done, Landon decided to start teaching the men how to operate both plants, as well as assign some workers to start placing underground electrical wires from the power plant to District E.
For the 5,200 men who were previously assigned at the construction sites, Landon divided them up like so:
•1000 workers to complete construction on the Central heating Plant.
•700 workers to operate the water & Sewage Plant.
•500 workers to operate the Power plant.
•And 3,000 workers to place electrical cables alongside the roads.
These new industries basically needed chemical engineers, alchemists, electrical engineers and so on.
Hence Landon requested that some of the electrical engineers in training, should be placed in each site.
As well as some of the Alchemists, who would be trained to chemical engineers.
On the other hand, the mechanical and civil engineers would definitely come from the construction workers whom he had assigned to the plants.
Chief Tim and Chief Wiggins, were also to appoint supervisors for every sector within these plants.
For example in the water & sewage plant, after the water leaves the sea and travels through the pipes, it would go to a 300 sq foot building.
This building has different equipments used for filtering out any sand particles, or hard rocks from the water... As well fishes that made their way to the building.
In that stage of water processing, Landon wanted 2 supervisors in charge of all mechanical and chemical processes involved within the building.
They were to supervise all activities taking place in that building before the water leaves and goes to the next processing stage.

Although Landon needed guards and cooks within these plants, he didn't want to assign any just yet, at least until September... For now, the men would still have their food brought into sector 1 by trucks.
Landed decided that for these first 4 days, he would alternate between both plants.
Today, he would only be teaching the workers in the Power plant how to operate the plant.... and the next day, he would do the same for those assigned to the Water & Sewage Treatment Plant.
Landon decided to use this 4 days to give them an intense theoretical lecture on both plants.
And for the remaining 8 days, all the workers from both plants would officially start their training.
Within this 8 day period, Landon had decided that he would spend his mornings in the Power plant... And for the afternoons, he would spend it within the Water & sewage treatment plant.
.
Early in the morning, the selected workers jumped into the trucks and headed out to their new work sites.
Today was their first theory class in the plant.
Once the workers who had never been to the construction site before stepped onto the first sector, they were utterly shocked.
They felt like they had just stepped into another world.
At the front of the sector was a large cemented block that had different words carved on it... The words read: 'Baymard Power Plant'.
The block was standing on another platform that was surrounded by a massive pond... And around the pond, was a small field of grass
Basically, the large words were on a fountain.
The beautiful, smooth and black roads, made the fountain look like a roundabout with several roads going towards different locations within the first sector.
In this sector, there weren't many buildings since most plant activity happens in the second sector.
This sector would mostly be used for the business side of the plant, as well as house the plant clinic, security offices and so on.
The buildings here were fully cemented, and went as high as 4 or 5 stories.... With the exception of 2 large ones that were both 3 stories high, and covered with only blueish glass walls.

These 2 glass wall buildings were connected together on their second floors, by what looked like a glass bridge.
As the trucks drove by, the workers looked around excitedly like tourists.
"Wahh!.. look at that building!!"
"Oh my heavens!! Buildings can be built like this?"
"Look at that large glass door at its entrance!!"
The workers weren't the only ones stunned silly.
Chief Wiggins was really having a hard time believing what he saw.... Once again, the way he looked at Landon had completely changed.
In his mind, Landon's title had now been changed from 'messenger of God', to 'God of knowledge'.
Although Chief Tim had seen the plant during construction, he couldn't help but be amazed when looking at the end result.
As both overseers looked around, they couldn't help but wonder when their own estates would be renovated.
The workers really wanted to have a tour of the first sector.... but sadly, Landon had the drivers drive straight to the next sector.
Landon had promised them that once all 3 sites were up and running, he would give them a grand official tour.
For now, all these buildings were locked, and their keys were placed on Landons desks, as well as Chief Tim's desk.
The only buildings that were open right now, were those in sector 2.
These few days left, as well as the entire month of September, was their training period.... Hence only by completing their training, would they truly belong to the plant.
Plus by the end of September, they would all get their badges and work Identity cards for access within the plants.
Once the men arrived at the 2nd sector, Landon began his lecture.
.
7 days had gone by, and both plants now shared electricity and water between them.
At this point, the Central heating plant was completed.. hence Landon kept 500 workers to operate the plant, and sent the other 500 to aid in installing underground cables along the roads.
And just like that, the last day of August had arrived.
As for the workers, they now felt a little more confident in their plant operation skills and knowledge.
Granted, they made a lot of errors on their first few days, but Landon had expected as much.
Hence he wasn't worried about their learning pace, after all they still had the whole September to learn brush up their skills.
When it concerned learning, no matter how many years one spent in school, nothing could compare to actually doing the procedures.
One could spend 4 years studying chemical engineering... but that didn't mean that if that same person went to an oil plant, that person would automatically know what to do.
Knowledge without practice was useless on the field.
Back on earth, there were people who had never gone to school before, but they could fix any machine, car or engine, just because they had been taught on the job.
And even those who had spent 10 years working on oil plants, didn't know everything about their jobs.
While on the job, new problems would definitely arise daily, making everyday different from the next..
It was impossible to know everything at once.
In schools, people would sometimes cram a lot of information, just so that they could graduate.
That was why practice was important, as well as schooling... both went hand in hand.
So he had first spent his time teaching them the theory, before showing them how the plant actually operated.
Right now, Landon didn't need them to know everything... he just needed them to learn at their own pace, and safely operate the plant.
The more they did, the more they would remember.
I mean.. he couldn't possibly put them through 4 years of schooling, before finally allowing them to work on the plants could he?
The only way was to learn on the job.
As for the workers, they truly liked their new work environment..... especially because they could use the 'toilet', soap and tissue paper.
And don't get them started on the magical light tubes that shines brightly at night, when they pulled the tiny switch upwards.
These plant sites were like heaven to them....
Right now, they all had one question in mind:
When was their king going to start residential construction?

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
