"No matter how much I see it, seeing the drones creating things from nothing always surprises me."
Devola says as he stands to Simon's left. Popola, who stands to his right, nods her head and says.
"Yes. In a matter of hours, you are able to create hundreds of drones and sentry weapons."
Simon is currently refilling his troops. Not only that, he also decides to scrap the old ones and make better ones. Each of his machinery and weapons are now made of Solar-Titanium synthetic metal. It is lightweight, but very durable. It is now five times more durable, twice as heat-resistant, and its self-healing capability is now ten times faster under sunlight than that of previous metals.
Not only that, but all of them now have two coatings. The first one is a Thermal-mirror coating that reflects laser and plasma, making all the things coated with this material more resistant to energy-based attacks.
The second one is an impact-absorption gel. Just as the name suggests, this item significantly reduces the amount of kinetic damage. This will make the already durable sentry guns even more durable and hard to destroy.
While Devola and Popola are busy controlling and producing more drones and sentry guns, he is busy watching the wall using his [Resource] power and turning them all into a {Resource} for him to change into other things.
Because of his fabricator, he rarely uses his [Resource] power, but that doesn't mean he does not use it. He still needs that power to create exotic matter for his project, which is too energy-hungry for his fabricator to produce.
Now? Now he is even more glad to have this power because he can deconstruct the entire wall without wasting too much time. The twin does not even question him when he sucks the entire wall, after putting away all the sentry weapons, and turns it into a {Resource}.
They just look at him with awe and nod as if it is normal for their God to be able to do that. Sometimes he wonders if he needs to intervene to prevent them from going too far. He will think about it later. For now, he needs to think about the present.
"Of course, your ability to deconstruct things into energy is also impressive, Simon."
Popola quickly says that. He waves his hand and says.
"It is nothing. Anyway, you can now order the drones to start building the wall. The entire Eastern Wall is gone, and I will deconstruct the Western Wall."
"Roger!"
"Leave it to us."
Devola and Popola happily obey his command and control the army of builder drones. The number of drones is increasing. Now there are 220 Builder Drones, 30 Maintenance Drones, 120 Assault Drones, 100 Scavenger Drones, and 85 Hunter Drones.
It is double the amount of the previous drones.
However, drones are not the only things that are increasing in number. Simon is already planning on increasing the number of sentry guns on the wall. He plans to manufacture 70 Tarantula Sentry guns, 40 Hawk Sentry Guns, 24 Hydra Automated Missile Launchers, and 45 Firestrike Sentry Guns, then place them across the new wall.
Simon shakes his head and focuses on the current job at hand. There is still a massive amount of wall he needs to deconstruct.
==| Line Break |==
Simon perks up when he feels his [Inspired Inventor] recharged and his [Resource] gets another delivery.
"It is already another day?"
He looked up and released a sigh.
"Without a night and day cycle, it is hard to notice the time."
His powers always recharge when the sun rises, but when the planet stops spinning, there is no sunrise. He shakes his head and looks at all the work he has done. The old wall is gone, and now he and the twins are putting all the sentries around the wall.
Because of his {Fortification} specialization, he knows where he needs to put the sentries to cover the entire city without leaving any weak points.
It appears that placing and programming the sentry guns, alongside the deconstruction of the old wall and construction of the new wall, consumes a significant amount of time.
Lucky for him, the twins are helping him; otherwise, it would take him two to three days to complete all of this.
He releases a sigh and does a small stretch.
"Simon? You need to rest. It has been eighteen hours since you slept."
Popola walks toward him with a worried expression. Devola follows her and says.
"My sister is right, Simon. You need to rest and eat some food."
Simon waves his hand and says.
"Don't worry. I can still go. I can stay awake for two days without sleep without any problem. Scan me. Check it for yourself."
Popola nods her head and starts to check on him. After a few seconds, she blinks and says,
"Huh? Interesting. You are healthy, with only a slight bit of strain."
"See? As you can see, I am not an average human. Not sleeping for two to three days is not a problem for me. The fourth day that I need to watch out."
The twins nod their heads and reluctantly agree with him.
"I understand." Devola nods her head. "However, I still think that you should sleep each day."
"And!" Devola raises her finger and looks him right in the eyes. "You need to eat at least two times a day! I can see your body needs extra fuel when you skip sleeping for a day."
Simon smiles and says.
"Don't worry, I will do that. I will make sure to take care of my body. I don't want to delay the projects I have, after all. Anyway! I will return home. Can you two finish this project?"
"Leave it to us, Simon."
"Yes. We will finish this quickly and return to your side."
He waves his hand and says.
"Don't rush it. We don't want something to go wrong, after all."
After saying that, he walks back home and goes to the kitchen to take out the stew Popola made last night from the fridge, then heats it up. While waiting for the stew to be done, he turned on his Omni-Tool, his pocket computer, and showed him his digital workshop.
He reviews the projects he is currently working on and the future goals he needs to achieve. The first one? Adding more types to his army. Ares already fills a good chunk of it, but he needs more. However, at the moment, Ares is enough because he is not attacking the machine lifeform.
However, he wanted something that would let him dominate the air. He needs an aircraft, or at least something that allows him to fight in the sky and eventually in space.
He thinks for a few seconds and decides to use three of his charges to create {Aerospace}, and suddenly, Simon receives a massive amount of knowledge. It combines perfectly with his {Efficiency}, {Stealth}, and {Vehicles}.
Ideas are flooding his brain, and he now has an idea of creating VTOL aircraft capable of both void and atmospheric travel.
However, he is not done. Simon put two charges to create {Communication}. The reason for this? He needs to create an Orbital Communication system that lets him communicate with the twins even from across the world.
With this, he can create a satellite that lets him create a global-scale communication network, and with his {Surveillance} specialization, he can make the satellite scan the planet to give him a general location for the Resistance Army.
With his {Stealth}, he is able to create a stealthy aircraft that carries the satellite to space without the machine network or the YoRHa noticing. Even with the previous battle, stealth is still his biggest strength, and he needs to maintain it.
It does not take him a second to determine which direction he needs to take for the rest of his charges. He uses all of them, five charges, to create an {Energy Generation} and feels a massive amount of knowledge entering his brain.
"Oh shit!"
He snaps from his thoughts when he smells a burning smell from the pot. He quickly turns off the stove and picks up the pot. Lucky for him, only the bottom burned while the rest of the stew was still good.
He takes some of the stew and pours it into a bowl. He sits in the chair and works on the new blueprint for carrier aircraft.
