260 First Spaceship (1/2)
After Ace heard Wallace's message from Avalon, he didn't immediately react as he was stunned by this sudden news.
'Several months? He's really planning to dump all these tiring works to me, huh...'
Ace was already aware that it was really his task to manage the construction and the creation of magic technology.
After all, although his body was physically strong and has already adapted to mana, he wasn't as strong as Wallace who has Void Phase, Astral Core, and Arcane Link. He has to work on something that would benefit not just his individual strength like what his other body pursues.
He needs to maximize his A.I.'s capability unlike what Wallace did and show to the world the vastness of the galactic technology.
'Sigh~ I just hope that he won't get too attached in that place and decided to live there for good... Anyway, I should be more than enough to protect this place.'
Ace's main strength would still be the technology he has. But considering that his body was trained in several martial arts, as long as he managed to avoid the spells or even managed to destroy the opponent's artifacts, he was confident to finish off his enemy.
It was risky, so that was why even if he was busy constructing the structure in this mountain, the hangar, mass driver, and the others, he didn't forget to develop his own weapons that would fit his style.
In the meantime, the main defense of his property would still be the Mech Frames controlled by Avalon.
”What happened?”
Miya noticed Ace's expression as she worriedly asked.
”Oh... Nothing... I just got reminded by the tasks I have to complete.”
Ace smiled wryly as he answered.
After a while, Miya decided to leave the villa as she confirms that 'Wallace' was fine in contrast to the news she had.
It was also good to know that this place was actually about to be turned to Wallace's business district. A place where all his current and future creations passed by the NMTI will be produced.
She clearly understood this point since this young man's business with his VR Pods was expanding every day! As an endorser of such products, she realized that their target market wasn't just for gamers but it was catered for everyone and not just here in their country.
The virtual world it offers was so advanced that no other competitors would dare to copy their business. It will surely conquer the market sooner or later.
Anyway, she felt that it was natural that a huge business that was now competing in the international stage would have such expenses to create a better quality of products.
Miya looked back at the mountain behind her and confirmed that Wallace has even controlled the temperature around his property through magic.
She was impressed by how meticulous he works to improve the place he has.
”Satisfied?”
A voice was suddenly heard as she was interrupted in her thoughts. It was her manager who decided not to accompany her and let the two have a chat with each other.
Miya smiled before she answered.
”Yes... It seems that he was fine... Nothing to worry about.”
”That's good to hear... But it's weird that Miss Chamber would tell you incorrect news.”
”Hmm... It's fine. He might have just returned or something... As long as he's okay.”
Miya replied before she silently entered the car brought by her manager.
***
Ace had been trying to communicate with Wallace at the northern continent but it seems that Avalon and Veda were unable to help.
Veda explained to him that the message he received through Avalon was actually due to the help of one of its devices left in the continent.
Unfortunately, Wallace has been storing it back to his Spatial Bag and unless he retrieved it out, it won't be able to connect to Wallace.
”Fine... Let's leave it at that... I'll see what I can do here. He should be safe given that he's able to give me such message.”
Ace decided not to think more about Wallace and focused on working at the construction site.
Ace has already built the huge framework of the first combat spaceship sponsored by Veda.
It was equipped with a Positron Cannon, Magic Enhanced Turrets, and several destructive weapons but the internal design was still in a mess.
Ace wanted to create a spaceship that would let anyone be comfortable after getting in so he ordered a batch of expensive products to design the floors, living quarters, comfort rooms, and even the bridge wasn't any exclusion.
After all, this was the first spaceship he was trying to create. Although it was only a middle size spaceship, about 350 meters in length, he wanted to make it as perfect as possible since this would be the flagship of the fleet.
Ace was almost done creating the ship and he only has to place a few more weapons.
”Avalon, check the missile launchers if it's ready to be mounted...”
[ Affirmative ]
Ace was referring to the 10 x 4 tube missile launchers.
It has three types of missiles, the ground missiles, interceptor missiles, and space missiles which was perfected in a different way.
