I Became a Genius Mechanic at the Academy

---

After the series of events related to Lucas ended, I began to focus on my work again.

The goal was to raise the technical level to strengthen multiple projects.

“Eve, how’s the progress on the satellite? Will it be possible soon?”

What I was most concerned about was launching an artificial satellite.

This was because one of the key projects I was pushing, ‘Noah’s Ark,’ needed GPS.

Above all, no matter how intense the demonic invasion may become, space is an area in another dimension that they cannot touch, making it a communication fortress that will never be invaded.

[Well, that’s no problem. It’s proceeding as planned.]

However, there was one issue: who could possibly accomplish the absurd difficulty of launching this satellite? Amazingly, Eve alone was sufficient.

Eve had previously explained to me a convincing reason for this.

– Eve, no matter how high-performance AI android you are, how is it all possible?

– …? Difficult? No, no. I just do control c+v.

– Control c+v?

– Yes. It’s copying and pasting. All the knowledge of the world you live in is digitized and stored in me. I just pull it out and show it to you.

– …I see.

– Yes. You might have felt it subconsciously, right? That you possess more technical knowledge than the amount of information acquired in your current life.

– …That’s true. I was indeed called a genius in my current life, but what I’ve accomplished here… has honestly surpassed my original knowledge level. So it means that modern knowledge information has been injected into me.

– Yes. But you are still an amazing person. Even though you have modern knowledge, implementing it in a world that has no infrastructure is incredibly difficult. But you bridged that gap with ‘magic engineering.’ You researched the laws of this world yourself to find formulas and successfully integrated them with modern engineering in the physical world. …I can’t do that well. I’m just an AI that can calculate fast. I can’t create something like a human.

– … …

– Ah. Was that a bit gloomy? It’s okay though. I will become human eventually. Creating new life within my body is my dream.

With those words, Eve looked at me as if she were about to devour me.

It felt like a female mantis in heat, licking her tongue while looking at a male mantis, giving me chills.

– Hehe, then first we should save the world, right?

But that atmosphere vanished in an instant.

More urgent matters were about to confront us right in front of our eyes.

She immediately refocused on the current objectives.

“Phew… Okay. Let’s not think about unnecessary things and worry about what’s ahead.”

Thus, I shook my head to clear away my distractions.

To concentrate on the current objectives, I closed my eyes and emptied my mind.

Envisioning a blank whiteboard, I wrote my grand thesis in large letters at the center.

[Communication]

That’s communication.

To develop and operate Noah’s Ark, a communication revolution must be initiated to elevate this world’s civilization to a higher dimension.

‘The industrial revolution is mostly completed. This should be enough.’

And the reason I dreamed of a communication revolution was due to having accomplished the industrial revolution to a certain extent.

In other words, I had entered a mass production system and created a flow of massive capital.

However, I exerted maximum effort to protect workers and vulnerable groups to prevent events like the ‘Luddite movement’ or ‘Communist revolution,’ which are reactions to the industrial revolution.

Especially since nobles, as capitalists in this world, would treat commoners as expendable and squeeze them dry, I legally mandated that any factory using my technology must provide fair compensation and welfare to workers.

This minimized the adverse effects of the new system.

‘Anyway, everything is ready. It’s time to move on to the next stage.’

Anyway, what’s done is done.

Talking about the communications plan I currently have, I would say it’s about 40% complete.

Just like the fierce war that took place at the northern frontline, which was broadcasted worldwide and raised billions in donations through ‘Star Dust.’

I had chaotically (?) interconnected modern communication with magic engineering.

I patched up the missing undersea cables and base stations with magic formulas and magic engineering.

‘I couldn’t help it. The communication network will break anyway.’

And there was a reason for connecting the world’s communication network chaotically.

Because most of the world can’t escape destruction anyway.

This is something I, who may have repeated hundreds, if not far more, cycles, know very well.

The beings that repelled Lilith’s great army were merely practice games; once the seal of ‘Myeolji,’ where the Grand Duke resides, begins to unravel, humanity will never be able to handle them.

‘That’s also the reason I’m fortifying my territory.’

Thus, the strategy I adopted is: take what I can and discard what I can afford to lose.

I mean, I’ll discard most of those kingdoms that can’t be protected no matter what and focus on keeping the Empire. Specifically, I’ll ensure that only certain areas closely related to my territory are protected unconditionally.

As long as we can keep this place somehow, even if most of the world gets devoured, we can aim for a comeback.

‘Of course, I don’t plan to throw everything away.’

But even while saying that I’ll take what I can and discard what I can, I won’t throw everything away.

I will save people I can.

Through the currently ongoing ‘Noah’s Ark Project.’

‘Of course, for Noah’s Ark to operate, the four satellites need to be in orbit.’

However, Noah’s Ark requires four satellites to function normally.

In other words, I need a GPS system that can determine the exact location by calculating the three-dimensional coordinates of x, y, z with three satellites and adjusting variables with the other satellite, applying coordinates of the Earth’s surface.

This is because the code-named ‘Noah’s Ark’ project is a massive aircraft carrier project that carries hundreds of aircraft.

For a suitable example from a famous movie, it’s like a ‘Helicarrier.’

***

The Fix Territory, the birthplace of the industrial revolution, has achieved an advanced civilization far ahead of the 2nd century.

Urban infrastructure, social systems, rule of law that aligns with social norms, technological expertise.

All of these elements combined have created a miracle resembling the summoning of a modern city into a medieval fantasy.

Of course, the decisive difference is that I am the owner of this miraculous city, and everything is mine.

Factories, houses, roads, railways, cultural facilities, bathhouses, land, etc. Everything in this territory belongs to me, and the residents here can only rent my buildings or land; they can never be the actual owners.

“It’s an unavoidable matter.”

And this dictatorship is a strategic choice that must be made.

In the end, all power must be concentrated on me to reach the goals I have planned.

I willingly ruled as the dictator of my territory.

The residents of the territory also expect that.

‘Anyway, the target figures are being met well.’

Holding full power over my territory made it easier for me to achieve my desired goals.

I made significant technological advancements in agriculture, fishery, and livestock farming, allowing me to control the mass-produced food as I wished.

Of course, my control over food here is not for personal benefit.

It’s to prepare for the food crisis that is bound to occur at some point.

In other words, due to the demonic invasion, I need to stockpile large amounts of food in anticipation of the food shortage.

Therefore, I processed 80% of the harvested food as preservatives for storage and distributed 20% to the market for sale.

However, even with just 20% in circulation, food was pouring out, so there was no chance of supply shortage.

“Lord!”

At that moment, the butler rushed in through the door.

Just by looking at his expression and demeanor, I could tell it was an urgent matter.

Panting, the butler finally gathered his breath and said,

“I apologize for coming in without knocking! I have an urgent report!”

“It’s alright. Take your time.”

“Haa… Haa… The demonic invasion has begun again. The location is the Kershtan Kingdom at the eastern edge. King Xavier Kershtan III has personally requested reinforcements!”

The Kershtan Kingdom.

I knew well about the incident of that kingdom being invaded.

It was a shocking event that a rather strong Kershtan Kingdom among the eastern kingdoms could not hold out for even half a day before falling.

‘…They’re coming for us.’

And the biggest factor in the destruction of the Kershtan Kingdom was the ‘Worshippers of the Seven Deadly Sins.’

In other words, it refers to the high-ranking demons worshiping the seven deadly sins of humanity: pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, and sloth.

Those seven demons were the main culprits and disasters that trampled the Kershtan Kingdom in an instant.

‘…This won’t be easy.’

The Worshippers of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Those beings are infamous demons that have caused immense damage to humanity in past lives and even previous previous lives.

I could only manage to take two or three of them as companions back then.

‘Right now, they seem like fodder.’

But that was in the past.

Right now, they are fodder.

With the Doom Suit, it would be a one-second cut.

I could spare the Doom Suit and face them with my Devil Suit, but it would be a hassle to catch them.

‘Above all…’

Above all, I have the children of the Grand Duke’s house who are growing day by day.

Currently, Enya is advancing beyond the beginning stage of a Sword Master to an intermediate stage, and Lucas is nearing the Great Mage stage.

Isabella is also becoming stronger day by day, honing her freezing spells.

‘I’ll use them as a power measurement device.’

Thus, I summoned all my children.

It was time to see the results of their training.
