Chapter 1642 Success: Hello, Alien Tech! Time flew by swiftly, as the nights and days passed before many could react. October 16th. Do you know what this means? Bahahhahahahahhaha~~ Tim slapped his secretary's back so hard that the poor guy almost fell on his face. But what was amazing was that the guy didn't seem fazed, but was instead shocked by what occupied his eyes. Holy sh**! They really did it! Standing above a towering metal walkway suspended high in the air, Tim, himself, his superiors, and people from several ministries stood in awe at the sight below. Representatives from the army and the royals were also in attendance. Mother Kim was shocked, but couldn't deny the fact that she had black lines on her face from fear. Ewww~ She hated bugs. So the colony of spiders marching and crawling below made her feel like they were crawling all over her. Of course, there were only a few women and men who felt this way. There were a total of 30 prototype spiders now, with some still naked without exoskeletons, and some shown as complete models. "Amazing! They are magnificent. They are worthy of the name Spi-Builders!" Minister Gonovich from the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Industry, praised. The other ministers also nodded. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺 Tsk. Had it been unsuccessful, you can be sure they would have drowned Tim with comments about taking a stance on budget cuts and so on. These people were not his friends in times like this. He had a deadline and had to keep it up or it would be game over for him! Wooooo~ These people can be ruthless when they want to. Tim wiped his nonexistent sweat, thanking his lucky stars for how hard he pushed for the first prototypes to be made. Sure, there are still adjustments that must be done. But the board of directors, the ministers and everyone else here must see the results of what they have accomplished so far. Tim wiped his sweaty hands on his white lab coat, before giving the signal to the group of workers and field testers below. As for who was taking the center stage to guide the group of visitors, of course it was Supervisor Mariam. "I'm sure every one of you wants to go down to see these spiders up close. But rather than doing that, why don't we let them come over themselves?" Here we go. There were a few computers on the ground floor for the testers. A special software program was already loaded onto the computers. And soon, everyone watched a scene they would never forget in their lives. The spiders who were staring at them motionlessly suddenly shook their bodies, like real spiders, before crawling in their direction, like beings from a horror movie. Erm... Can they say they are impressed, but also somewhat scared? All 30 spiders were no taller than everyone's knees. "Please note how proficient they are at climbing over the few crate obstacles like real spiders. Their agility, flexibility, and speed are essential for maneuvering through any nooks and crannies during production or manufacturing." "..." The spiders proved their worth, as they all leapt into the air, reaching over 2 floors high. Yes! The reason they chose this building for the demonstration was that the suspended observation bridge was really tall. These spiders are supposed to be able to jump on top of a plane too. Bear in mind that though they were knee-length and not so bulky in size, they could lift heavy structures for repairs or manufacturing. Their body size, without their spider legs, was similar in size to a toddler aged 3~5. "They... They are flying? Good God! Did your team succeed?" Everyone's eyes burned with excitement, especially those in the military. Mariam's smile broadened playfully. "Yes. As you've probably guessed, we have indeed been successful with the anti-gravity system. However... As you can see, the spiders can't fly past this high yet." The spiders couldn't fly past 20 feet. This wasn't good enough. Thus, they still had to improve things in the following months and years. But at least it was a positive start. Though they couldn't fly past 20 feet, once they land on an object for construction, they crawl and climb higher too, don't they? Mark, Josh, Gary, and Trey, who were Landon's sworn brothers, all felt their bodies tremble the more they watched the spiders move. Anti-Gravitational Belts! It won't be long before their various departments receive them. But how long will it take? Damn! Mark felt his eyes bleeding, wishing he could carry a spider back to the military base immediately. In the absence of Lucius, Mark took over all army matters. Likewise, Josh overlooked all police matters, as Lucius wanted him around. Gary had always cared for Navy and marine matters, while Trey oversaw Coast Guard matters, protecting Baymard's shores and water borders. Bam! The spiders clung to the rails of the suspended bridge but did nothing else. Minister Gonovich felt warmth rushing into his body when staring face to face with these magnificent creations. He rubbed its many spider claws, rubbing it up and down, as though it was a pet. 'My precious~' Gonovich fell in love with its smooth blackish-purple exterior. And just then, the spiders moved, jumping down to ground floor again. It wasn't long before Gonovich and the rest met with them, and a series of demonstrations were conducted. "How strong is it? I couldn't believe that when the spider slipped underneath the thick metal compressor, it shattered the compressor instead... with barely any scratches at that!" "Ahhh! What a marvelous creation! It's made of enhanced metal. So it's only natural for it to be strong." "Hey, the metal-enhancing machinery and processes are also amazing. Look at the data shown. Improved resistance to corrosion/rust, improved tensile strength, yield strength, durability, malleability, and so much more." "I'll be damned!... Strength has increased by 60%!... If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have never believed it!" Do you know how much this changes things? With improved metal and these fast robotic spi-builders, how long do you think it would take to get the job done? They were talking about planes!
