The next fifteen minutes passed in complete silence as Sarah and Felix absorbed the information they had just received.
By the fifteenth minute, Felix was the first to break the silence, his reaction surfacing before Sarah's. Unlike Sarah, Felix had ntally prepared himself for this mont, having harboured high expectations due to his prior knowledge of the coup being orchestrated by Aron.
"Damn," Felix muttered, his voice filled with disbelief. He instinctively adjusted his glasses, which had been displaying visual evidence throughout Aron's detailed account. The evidence presented left them with no reason to doubt Aron's statents in the slightest.
"How did you manage to convince the general to support the coup, knowing that they would ultimately lose the power they previously held?" Sarah asked, regaining her composure after Felix's exclamation.
"There's a saying that it's better to be a servant in a palace than a common man in the streets," Aron replied with a smile.
"So, let get this straight," Sarah questioned incredulously. "You're saying that they agreed to beco your subordinates because you promised them a position among the servants in your palace?" Sarah found it hard to believe that individuals who had tasted power would willingly relinquish it to beco re pawns in a powerful army.
"If you recall, in my account, I ntioned 'One of the notable discoveries was the advancent in virtual and augnted reality technology,'" Aron replied, deflecting Sarah's question. "What do you think I ant by that?"
Sarah offered her interpretation, stating, "Perhaps it implies that the technology already existed, and what unfolded after the coup was simply a trendous advancent of that technology."
"Correct," Aron affird, and before them materialized a peculiar-looking headgear. "This," he continued, pointing to it, "is what you would refer to as version 01 of the technology. Its initial breakthrough coincided with the developnt of quantum computers during the sa ti period." Aron proceeded to provide an explanation.
"I didn't go to such extres. What I did was simply instill an overwhelming sense of fear towards . As a result, they have reached a state where they will unquestioningly obey any order I give them," Aron explained, a smile spreading across his face as if he were discussing sothing positive.
Felix and Sarah exchanged bewildered glances, their confusion growing as they wondered if they were sohow perceiving a different aning than what Aron intended.
Sarah, attempting to divert her attention from Aron's unsettling smile, posed an astute question. "Is this why you chose to handle the task personally in Eden instead of delegating it, as you did with Felix when he acquired the companies?"
"Yes, nobody else knew about the technology, and it had to stay that way," Aron responded, his smile persisting. "That compelled to take matters into my own hands."
Felix, making a connection between Aron's previous peculiar travel plans and his current involvent, asked, "Is the reason for your personal involvent here similar to when you embarked on your trip throughout Europe, or is there sothing else at play?"
"Yes, indeed," Aron replied, his satisfaction evident as Sarah and Felix demonstrated their astuteness in connecting the dots based on the information he had shared.
Sarah's voice carried a mix of curiosity and excitent as she asked, "What did you do in Europe? I'm really curious to know what transpired during your trip that required you to spend over three months there."
"It is better that I show you rather than explain," Aron replied. Without further delay, Nova swiftly teleported them, transporting them to the skies above Lab City.
"Behold the fruit of my extensive travels throughout Europe and Arica," Aron declared, paying little heed to the astonishnt displayed on Sarah and Felix's faces as they beheld the massive city sprawling beneath them.
"Explore the city at your leisure and return here after twelve hours. Your physical bodies in the real world are being safeguarded, so don't worry about any harm coming to them. Enjoy your ti as the ti compression ratio here is five to one," Aron instructed, swiftly teleporting Sarah and Felix to different locations within the city before they had a chance to inquire about the phenonon of ti dilation.
After regaining their composure, Sarah and Felix began their exploration of the city, utilizing the interface provided to them by Aron. They carefully read the instructions and details displayed on the screen, instantly comprehending how to navigate and utilize the interface for their tour.
Sarah wasted no ti in acquiring the research labs list and selecting the one focused on computing technology. In an instant, she found herself transported to the chosen location. As her eyes opened, an astonished expression crossed her face, and her mouth fell open in awe.
Before her stretched endless rows of server racks, each holding an array of what appeared to be quantum computer chips. The information she had obtained about the lab confird her suspicions—these chips were being optimized to seamlessly operate as a unified entity.
Similarly, Felix decided to start his exploration within the industry he was already familiar with. Upon his selection, he found himself teleported to a lab where rows upon rows of server racks, filled with quantum chips, stretched out before him. However, the purpose of this particular lab differed from the one Sarah had visited.
Here, the focus was on communication technology, specifically optimizing the utilization of quantum teleportation as a ans of transmitting information.
While Aron had already harnessed this technology for instantaneous communication between his quantum computer at ho and his watch, it still hadn't reached the stage of mass communication for millions of devices. The researchers in this lab were diligently working towards achieving that goal, and they had been achieving consecutive breakthroughs every few days.
