Getting a Technology System in Modern Day



"Which option do you think is a better one?" Aron inquired, his voice trailing off after he asked, wanting to know what would be Nova's opinion.

[Regarding some of the resources, I suggest option one and for the resources, I recommend going with option two] Nova responded before pausing for a brief moment after which she continued by elaborating the reason behind such a recommendation from her.

[Starting with the resources that I believe option two is better suited for, the oil and gas reserves. Firstly, these resources are usually developed through the collaboration between the governments of the countries that have these resources and the private companies that will be responsible for extracting them. The arrangements of such a deal will involve revenue sharing between the two parties through the drilling rights of these resources. It is done this way to allow for the country to reap continuous benefits without being forced to invest heavily, making that resource a country's income stream]

[The next reason I suggest you do it this way other than precedent is so that the citizens can sense the direct benefits from the amount of investments the government would be doing by using the profits generated through this venture. These benefits could include universal health care, tax cuts and much more of such public initiatives. And given that you can extract the resources with what could almost be considered as little to no cost at all, the profits resulting from this venture will be substantial, far surpassing any of those oil and gas exporting country's profits margins by several magnitudes higher, allowing those countries to have massive funds for investing them in the public.

[The third and final main reason is that, although I can manipulate and steer the public opinion in any direction you want, it would be very difficult to justify to the public for handing over a massive amount of profits to a private company that has been trying to infiltrate every part of their country. This could lead to dissatisfaction between the citizens and us, potentially harming your reputation. And while you could make them sway from it after a long time of persuasion, it still wouldn't erase the negative opinions they might form about you] Nova paused after that long, detailed explanation, allowing Aron to digest the information before she resumed shortly.

[Regarding the other minerals and resources, you can simply choose the second option, just buy the locations that have the significant deposits while leaving the rest of them in the hands of the government. This aligns with the already established precedents where companies buy mines and profit from them. However, you will have to make it known that you are buying them after you release to the public about the potential existence of minerals in those locations. This transparent approach will facilitate a rightful price from the government and save you from any public outrage that might happen if you publicize the existence of minerals in those locations after you have bought the lands for cheap]

With those words, Nova finished her explanation, letting Aron have some time of silence to contemplate on his decision.

After an extended period of silence, Aron responded, "Start formulating a plan regarding it for the acquisition of the locations based on your suggestions. We should hold off on the announcement of us being the ones discovering oils until our second round with Esparia. It will serve as a good revelation during a victory speech and should make Alexander's government's approval rate to break the ceiling since the announcement will coincide with the announcement for the preparations of the first presidential election of the country in three months, after that announcement, his win will be secured to the point where the election results would resemble those from North Korea," Aron had managed to maintain a serious look on his face throughout the time he said all those words but ended cracking a smile as he delivered the last few words.

...….

While Aron was having a pivotal conversation with Nova that could remold the shape of the entire country, at the roads on Avalon island, a name that Nova had opted to give to the island based on the public thoughts about the island being shrouded in mystery due to the constant brown clouds covering most of it.

Right now, one could even witness some unconventional sights that were different from any usual sights that one could expect to see in their whole lifetime on a normal road. Fifteen massive cargo airplanes could be seen parked on the road, having already been loaded with their cargo and doing their final taxiing before they started the run for a takeoff.

Named as Titan, nicknamed as Paradisemovers, these planes were definitely not like any normal plane, each of the planes had a size that was comparable to the Ukraine's An-225, while also being capable of carrying twice the weight of the AN-225, yet having the ability to fly faster and longer than it. The aircraft itself exhibited a high degree of intricacy and reflected rigorous craftsmanship and even though there were fifteen of them, each carried an undeniable power and utmost technology of its time. With the fiercely sculpted bodies of these aircrafts, it's sweeping wings and angular tail radiated an aura of power and technical sophistication, enough to instill fear in even those who were used to seeing such warplanes.(image here)

These extensive logistic movements were planned to continuously take place in the upcoming days, for a team of humans to come up with an efficient plan, a week or two would have been easily used up. So, Athena, recognizing the urgency and complexity of the situation, simply asked her mother to build Hermes, an AI capable of overseeing the military's entire logistics, for her and made it responsible for the entire logistical planning and movements. Hermes, in turn, generated smaller versions of herself to assist in the task, ensuring as much efficiency as possible.

With the cargo planes now ready and prepared for takeoff, the pilots asked for permission to take off, to which they received swift approval and without wasting any time, they immediately commenced their departure. With a massive surge of power in the thrusters,  the first plane gained speed and went down the runway. After traveling for a remarkably short distance for such a massive cargo plane, the plane's front wheels started rising, indicating that it had gained enough speed to start the final process of takeoff. This was soon followed by the rear wheels leaving the ground as well, followed by the plane starting to gain a stable altitude as smoothly as possible, without the risk of rattling the cargo within since it was something quite sensitive.

In a span of less than a quarter of an hour, the remaining fourteen cargo planes took off similarly, each heading off and veering in different directions from the other, disappearing into the early morning darkness.
