11 Planning for the future ( 1 )

The cold metallic air hung in the air. The atmosphere was chill and the surrounding was dark except for the screen.

The only light source in the room.

Alone man was leaning down in the chair. He wore a black cloak on his eyes and slept soundly.

[Finish.]

Diane said in a loud voice.

Ray flinched and got up from the slumber. He took out the black cloak and looked at the screen.

" Nuclear Fission Gun. "

[ Lame name.]

Ray rolled his eyes. " Name that for me. "

[ Zero Starter.]

He scratched his head and thought about the name. Zero Starter?

' It is quite fitting. The weapon reduces everything to zero. No, it does not work like this. If I shoot this weapon, atoms will scatter and create something. '

' I don't want to risk the unknown. So I will add another tool. Gather the scattered atoms and convert them into energy or something. '

Ray's eyes widened as he thought about something.

He said out loud. " Man, that is dark. I am thinking of using the remains of the enemy. But that should be interesting. Haha. "

Ray chuckled.

[ You sound like an insane person.]

Ray frowned. " I am not. I am just doing the other favour. Who would want to clear the corpse? "

[ Yeah. Yeah.]

Ray smiled and tapped the computer keyboard. He wrote down an equation.

Then started to work on creating a collector.

He had already sent a blueprint of the gun frame. Rigoletto will send guns and he just needs to run the system and all is good.

For the core, he also created a new tool instead of the core. Its function was to absorb the negative energy through the gun handle.

The gun only worked by holding it with your own hands. Which is stupid but Ray wanted to make sure the user was close to the gun. So this way he could kill the user with no effort.

Now the gun's problem was over, Ray was focusing on his stuff. In the next two years, Loki will come to New York with his friends.

Ray hoped to steal the space stone by that time. He could steal the stone pretty easily without facing anyone. But it was better to be cautious.

" Zero Starter. Sent this blueprint to the weapon manufacturer. " Ray said. " And let's create the auto robot. "

He got up from the chair. He had been managing this room for a long time when he arrived from the abandoned building. He cleaned the area and made a place for him to build.

He also ordered Mason to bring tools and mechanic stuff. He grabbed the protective mask and Welder.

Time passed. A second moved to minutes. Minutes turned into hours.

Four hours had passed.

" Open the fan, Diane. It is getting hit here. " Ray said wiping the sweat.

He only finished the big frame, now he needed to set up the small component. Add an AI and it was done.

He threw the towel and walked over to the fridge. He opened it and a cold wave of air pushed through him.

He felt chill rubbing his face. It was a bit uncomfortable.

He grabbed the soda.

" Do we have a 3×3 metal piece? " He asked.

[ No. It's all used up in creating the core.]

" Then threw the shopping list to Mason. "

***

The final day. Tomorrow, Ray will go home and relax a little.

He will walk around the city and check the New York in detail.

Right now, he was looking at the machine he just made. Fully machine, with a lifeless AI, a bit of a downgrade of Diane.

The tower will be next month's project. He didn't need that much energy right now so building the tower would be useless.

Mason opened the door and carried the box. He had been doing this many times. Ray could ask the machine to carry it but it didn't matter.

" Wow, Ray. I never expected your lab to be this gloomy. " Mason said. " I finish carrying the guns. Rigoletto wants them as soon as possible. "

Ray tapped his watch and switched on the machine.

" Why? " Ray asked. " Is he facing the enemy? "

He said in sarcasm.

Mason nodded. " Right now. All the five families are pressuring Rigoletto. They got the local businesses yesterday. "

" Wow. " Ray said. His tone was flat. To be honest, he was not surprised by this.

" Then the fight won't take long. " Ray followed the machine.

It took the gun and moved to the box near the computer. It inserted the gun and waited for a minute.

After the box was done its job. The gun came out with the core. Now, the machine grabbed the wire that was hunting in the air and connected it with the gun.

Diane ran the system to the gun.

It was done. A laser gun.

Ray nodded and looked at Mason. " Wait here. With all the gun frames you bought, it will take an hour. "

" You are a genius. " Mason said.

Ray shook his head.

' Now the gun project is done. I can now focus on my next project. '

' Zero Starter. Capable of dismantling any object into atoms. This weapon will have long range and close range. I don't feel like adding this machine to a gun. If I aimed at the wrong place, it could vaporize the entire building. '

Ray smiled and started to draw.

He then walked to Diane and asked her to scan his drawing.

' Now, the blueprint is ready. ' Ray thought to himself.

He heard a sound and looked around. Mason was collecting all the guns into the box. The machine had finished the work.

Ray sat on the chair.

" I will pick up tomorrow, sir. "

Ray waved his hand.
