My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 279
#279
technological revolution (1)
Howard, an avatar created using Zaonic's beloved pickaxe 'Eline'.
There was one thing I realized while working on producing the body of a different race..
‘indeed. At this rate, it would be difficult for other races not to feel deprived..’
It was the fraudulent nature of the being called ‘Dwarf’..
In the first place, technology was the sum of the experiences and theories of countless craftsmen, craftsmen, and engineers over many generations, with their blood and sweat, and a tower of knowledge built up through their endless agony and research..
Therefore, it is natural that there are limits to what can be learned and developed in a short period of time..
‘That's common sense.’
However, the beings who completely ignored that system were the dwarves..
They were different from other races in everything from their way of thinking to their sensory abilities..
Original creative logic, which is insufficient even in the word creativity, is fundamental, and instinctively performs microprocesses that surpass precision machines, and even processes that require complex calculations are understood solely through feel..
It was no exaggeration to say that they were a race specialized in creating things from the very beginning..
‘Perhaps, if there had been no flaws in other aspects, dwarves would have become the race that rules the world..’
Fortunately or unfortunately, despite their absurd genius in production, they were desperately lacking in sense in many other areas..
If they had not had such talent in the first place, it would not have been surprising if they had become extinct or reduced to slavery..
“Oh, is this... indeed?!”
And the dwarf's overwhelming talent was passed down to the avatar, Howard..
A secret safe house near Incheon, South Korea.
Howard's eyes, who had been summoned remotely from inside the warehouse, sparkled..
In front of him, filled with emotion as if he had encountered a treasure, were magical tools from various worlds that he had collected one by one..
‘After all, seeing it in person is completely different! All functions are working properly.!’
A vividness that was different from what I had experienced indirectly until now stimulated my five senses without mercy..
It was a completely different sensation than when dealing with two-dimensional objects that were transmitted through shared senses or that had lost their individuality after moving to Outerica..
“Hehe, this is amazing again. What on earth is it made of??”
He picked up a metal trinket shaped like an animal's tooth, looked at it closely, and then sniffed it..
licking—
It doesn't stop there, I even lick it with my tongue..
“Tsk tsk, calcium phosphate? It seems closer to bone than teeth. Indeed, it is metallic yet biological. Is there magic in this? The heat treatment is too crude to be overlooked, but it's not bad that they paid attention to preserving the characteristics of the material..”
Howard, a dwarf who studied abroad, is knowledgeable about Earth science through continuous systematic education..
He lifted his specially made glasses with one hand and nodded seriously..
The fluffy white lab coat he wore along with his sparkling glasses made him look particularly intelligent..
‘Even after all this, I have already been recognized by Zaonic as a craftsman..’
To him, items that came from another world and contained a unique system were no different from a well-prepared feast..
Just like when Hans encountered other worldly magic techniques..
Also, like when I finally realized the “Way of Magic” at the end..
And that appreciation reached its peak when I encountered the prosthetic eye beyond the reinforced exoskeleton collected from the ruler..
“her!”
The moment I saw it, like a volcano exploding, the lava called inspiration broke the frame that had confined me and burst out..
Is this what an unprecedented thing is??
‘this···.’
Seeing, hearing, touching, tapping, smelling, biting, etc..
Howard, who came to his senses only after going through a series of frantic processes, was certain of one thing..
‘···This is definitely something made by dwarves..’
A dwarf from another dimension than the one he was in..
Of course, that race may not be completely the same as the dwarves of Outerica, to which Howard belongs..
Perhaps not only the race name, but also the appearance and other detailed characteristics may be completely different..
‘but···.’
The basic framework that underlies it is clearly that of the same race..
The “dwarven creative logic” that had deeply permeated Howard was fiercely insisting on this..
‘that's interesting. Is there any open source for intelligent creation shared among the gods??’
A question that had already occurred to me while experiencing vampires from various dimensions suddenly surfaced again..
But what was important to him now was not the secrets of the world..
Howard snorted and frantically indulged in the wonders of the civilization before his eyes..
“Oooh—that's great. very good!”
Dwarves, a race with an absolute advantage in technology.
However, despite their presence, the level of science in Outerica was not very outstanding..
There were many reasons, but the biggest one ended up being one..
‘It's because of the environment. To be more precise... we could call it civilization..’
It is a world full of monsters that can fight armies alone, and it is not impossible to blow up a castle with a single spell..
In fact, there was a record of a moving disaster called the Immortal King destroying half of the continent..
Naturally, the dwarves' ultimate goal was bound to be influenced by it..
By creating a peerless divine sword that can cut through anything, an impregnable armor that is like a moving fortress, and magical tools that contain miraculous powers, etc..
And if it falls into the hands of a qualified person, it will help to destroy great evil..
‘There will also be differences in the basic science that serves as the foundation. Perhaps Dimension's 'world view' may have had an implicit influence there..’
But now, here on Earth, where all levels of civilization intersect, Howard was different..
A dwarf dressed as a researcher wearing a white coat and glasses raised the corners of his mouth and stroked his beard in satisfaction..
He is not bound by anything..
No one could stop his growth, and not even the world could limit the direction of his creativity..
“Puhahaha! My hands are itching for this.!”
Howard busily moved around and waited for the 'Room of Time and Space', the time acceleration barrier that Hans had painstakingly installed in the Incheon safe house, to activate..
Because space-time magic was so complex and there were restrictions that it had to be used in secret, even Hans could only maintain it properly for a day or so at a time.···.
‘Ten times the speed of time isn't that bad. At least it can be said to be at a similar level to when it was in another world..’
All necessary preliminary preparations had already been completed by ordering heterosis to prepare a safe house..
Now all he has to do is focus on his research with all his might..
In addition, isn't he currently receiving the effect of 'elixir of growth'??
[Hmm then let’s get started.]
Soon, Hans quietly appeared outside the safe house, wondering how long he had been there, and activated the barrier, and time inside began to flow in a flow different from that of the world..
“Oh my! The more I look at this prosthetic eye, the more fascinating it gets.!”
“Hmm, now that I think about it, this reinforced exoskeleton was also given to the ruler by that doctor. It's definitely a bit different from the others. Is it handmade using materials from Isekai??”
“If others can do it, there’s no reason I can’t! Let's give it a try!”
Howard moves passionately while constantly muttering to himself..
So time goes by.
When the hour hand of the clock has turned roughly one revolution.
《The entity achieved enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire skill “Magic Engineering”.》
Howard was able to learn more about magic engineering in less than 5 days after entering the closed training facility, perhaps due to the fruits of his constant intake of growth elixirs and his dedication to training..
When only one full day had passed in external time and ten days in internal time, the barrier was about to lose its strength.—.
‘···I see I think I know something?’
《Objects bloom into possibilities by achieving conditions. Acquire the special skill “Technological Revolution”.》
I was finally able to achieve some of the results I initially set out to achieve..
sooner than expected.
-Entity Name: Howard
-Race: Dwarf
-Common Attributes: 「Mind Herb」, 「Persona」, 「Super Recovery」, 「Bright Scenery Index」, 「Supernatural Strength」, 「Nervousness」, 「Visiting」, 「Xenoglossy」」
-Object characteristics: 「Craftsmanship」, 「Dwarven creative logic」, 「Song of Fire and Metal」, 「Spirit of Craftsman」, 「Technological Revolution」, 「Metallurgy」, 「Precision Crafts」, 「Magic Engineering」」
-Special note: Due to the influence of 'elixir of growth', additional growth correction is given to all actions. Through constant effort, I explored magic engineering and realized its essence. Using the “Technological Revolution,” it became possible to intervene in items made with technology from other worlds and modify some of them..
‘···Wait, if you use this well,···.’
Maybe it's a bigger achievement than expected.
***
Imperial hospital located on one side of the Imperial Palace of the Azerion Empire.
After the attack by the masked men, including Starv, who became the Dark Knight, Hesperon was once again hospitalized for a long period of time in the hospital..
“Oh, really, why not??”
“It's not possible. You must remain calm and monitor the situation further. Don't worry. We have arranged for the cult's Shin Seong-jin, as well as aromatherapy, massage, and imperial bards to help calm the nerves. In addition, you can receive various books and a wizard to help you with your training at any time, so please rest comfortably here..”
A lot of time had passed since the treatment for the side effects was over, but no matter how much he protested that he was fine now, the medical staff who had received direct orders from the princess remained steadfast..
Isn’t he the one they should be looking at in the first place??
-Riley, I'm feeling really good now..
-···sorry. This part is almost over now, so please be patient. I'll organize everything as soon as I get back..
「Riley, who was connected through the “Chain of Covenant,” responded in an apologetic voice..
Actually, I knew why she was so cautious..
The atmosphere in the entire palace was so scary that I could feel it even though I was only in the hospital..
After the last attack on Princess Riley.
Not even a few months have passed since the turmoil in which even the commander of the imperial guard was involved was brought to an end, and the entire capital's defenses became even tighter..
Of course, this attempted kidnapping of Hesperon could never have happened in the first place..
It is an empire in name and appearance, the strongest nation on the continent, and no matter what anyone says, it is not the capital that is at the center of it..
‘But it actually happened..’
Even if a trap was dug in the outermost slums, where there was bound to be a security vacuum, and someone disguised as a coachman led the way there... that could not be an excuse..
One way or another, the result was already clear..
Someone high-ranking who intervened in public security deliberately created a loophole in the defense, and a criminal was caught at a crime scene that was so crowded..
The former imperial guard captain, who is said to have been killed, was corrupted by dark magic..
‘The royal family's reputation has become meaningless..’
Even if the target of the operation was not a member of the imperial family, but merely a foodie, nothing would have changed..
How severe was the wound to the pride suffered by this incident, so that the emperor, who had so far taken a step back and only supported the princess's initiative, would have taken the initiative himself?.
It meant that he had crossed the line of turning a blind eye to a certain extent because he was his wife's family..
-I was so anxious that I resorted to self-sufficiency. Still, if you're cornered, you might try something crazy, so it's the safest place right now. Although the hospital director is completely neutral, he never stands by and watches what happens in his hospital. In fact, excluding the knight commander, he is the strongest in the imperial palace..
-Uh, that was about it.?
-They say he is the senior of Marquis Lawrence, the owner of the magic tower. I heard he changed his career path due to personal issues..
-That's right···.
Although Hesperon agreed, he couldn't help but lose his appetite inwardly..
Anyway, the bottom line is that it's dangerous now, so be calm..
‘I appreciate your concern, but.’
He was planning to take a quick trip to Earth, but he couldn't help but feel very frustrated with the current situation..
Of course, if you wanted to, you could sneak away and come back at any time by canceling the summons, but the moment you really do that, there will be an even bigger commotion than now..
‘Life reactions within the imperial palace are probably being checked in real time..’
In addition, wasn't the hospital director also said to be an archmage who ranks above the level of a magic tower master?.
Most likely, as soon as he disappears, the abnormality will be detected and a state of emergency will be declared, and if he appears in the palace again after that... it probably won't end in an embarrassing situation..
‘Tsk, I wanted to do it right away, but should I just put it off until later? ···No, just hold on. Now that I think about it, there’s no need to go all the way to Earth.?’
After thinking for a moment, Hesperon stood up with his eyes shining..
As he walked forward, a milky-white sphere was suddenly held in one hand..
A bead that doesn't feel any energy, just like a smooth ornament..
