Getting a Technology System in Modern Day



"By the way, how did the soldiers manage to survive against such a concentrated explosion?" John asked.

"They were using one of our experimental technologies known as the C-Kinetic Shield MK-II," Aron answered as he materialized something that appeared like a thick smartphone and handed it to John who was immediately shown the details of its technology.

Note: The C-Kinetic Shield MK-II is currently in the testing phase. It is not completely operational and its performance is subject to the ongoing evaluation. Use it with extreme caution, as there is a possibility that it may not provide complete protection in all situations.

"It should be ready for real combat use in a few real-world months after a version ready for military use is be completed," Aron finished his explanation while he gave John enough time to read through the description of the device.

"When it is officially ready for combat use, it will be a revolutionary tech and might make it almost impossible to lose a fight when someone has this on," John muttered in excitement as he imagined how it would be like when going full haywire on a group of enemies with this type of shield on him which will allow him to fight without any fear of death.

"As long as it has enough energy to sustain the fight," Aron added after seeing the expression on John's face, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

"How long can the energy last when the final version is on rollout?" John asked, curious about for how long this shield would be able to protect the soldiers.

"As long as it is not shot upon, the energy will only be depleted after a month of the shield being in a constant active state. However, that is for standby, every time the shield is forced to block a projectile, the energy will be depleted and the more powerful the thing that hits the shield is, the more energy will be drawn from the power source. So, it might last, maybe a full day of constant combat," Aron explained.

"That still gives enough time for the soldiers to deal heavy damage to the enemies," John remarked upon hearing Aron's answer.

"Yes, but it won't be carried separately by the soldiers. It will be stored inside the soldier's kinetic skeleton.," Aron added.

"Mh…" John nodded his head, understanding that having it come integrated with the kinetic skeleton would ensure that it remained in a place where falling due to some mistake would be almost impossible when compared to if the soldiers were to carry it themselves.

"Then what about the artillery that shot down the bombers?" John asked, recalling how the intimidating bombers were shot down by artillery fire instead of missiles.

"Those came from an electromagnetic rail gun from an island located a hundred and fifty kilometers away from the battlefield," Aron answered as he showed John the footage of the railguns turning and firing in a sync, having the shells fly the whole distance of more than a hundred kilometers in a matter of three seconds before downing the bomber fleets.

John's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in astonishment after hearing that the distance from the bombers and the time it had taken for the projectiles to reach and hack down the bombers.

His mind was envisioning having the country covered with these systems, creating a shell coverage, allowing it to stop anything from entering the country's airspace without permission.

Aron continued to show him the different weapons within the warehouse, almost causing the General to lose his life by a heart attack since he couldn't get used to the advanced technology that he was being continuously shown, and with each item that passed, the next would have an even higher level of novelty. Having at least one of such advanced weapons was the dream of every military, however, Aron had all of them stored in a massive warehouse where they were waiting for their need to rise.

…..

At Aron's house in America.

"What can we help you with?'' Donald, the head of security at Aron's house, asked the two men wearing vests and hats with a logo he recognized from the local electric utility company as they tried to enter the compound of the house.

"We have been sent from the company to investigate the source of the energy usage spike that had occurred a few days ago from this house," answered one of the men as he rummaged through the bag on his back after setting the toolbox in his hand down.

"Here are our credentials and the order from the company for the checkup we are supposed to conduct in this house," said the man after finding the necessary documents from his bag.

Donald took the documents and read them carefully, not skimping on anything on the documents before taking out his phone and calling the utility company's customer service.

When they answered the call, he asked them if there was a scheduled check-up on the house and provided them with the address so that they could verify it in their systems.

After receiving a positive answer from them, Donald allowed the two to enter the fence as he escorted them to the front door of the house where rang the doorbell and waited with them for a response.

The doorbell's ring echoed throughout the house, prompting Rose, Aron's mother, to get from the sofa and head to the door to see who it was.

The door's surveillance feed displayed Donald and two people whom she didn't recognize, the two were wearing hats and vests which had a symbol she recognized as belonging to the local electric utility company.

Pressing on the microphone button, she asked "Donald, is there a problem?"

"No Ma'am. They are from the utility company and were sent to take a look at the cause of the power consumption surge that occurred a few days ago," Donald reported immediately after he was asked.

"There was a power surge in the house?" Rose murmured, quite surprised by such an anomaly having occurred in the house without her being unaware of it.

"It seems so, Ma'am, that's why they came to check if there is something wrong with the wiring and to see if it is dangerous to those occupying the house," Donald explained.

"Come in," Rose said as she immediately pressed the button to open the door, not wanting to waste any time since she was worried there might still be some potential danger.

"Sorry for the disturbance, Ma'am," the two men said after entering the house.

"No worries," Rose replied, her eyes turning to the side as Michael, Aron's father came after noticing his wife raising her voice slightly out of nervousness.

"Where is the distribution panel?" the utility worker asked moments after Rose explained the whole ordeal to Michael.

"It is in the basement. Donald can take you there," Michael answered, prompting Donald to take further action, understanding the underlying meaning behind Aron's father's words. This meant that Donald needed to keep an eye on them as Michael knew that the basement was the place where his son's impromptu server or something was stored, which resulted in Aron spending most of his time there.

"I will lead the way," Donald said, taking off his shoes and wearing slippers, giving the two men slippers to wear too before he guided them down the stairs, heading to the basement.
