Chapter 157 Lost in Space...Again 4 (1/2)
”We're almost finished with this.” Forge said as she lifted her glasses that were falling from her nose, ”The computer is going to do the final touches and testing. If everything is alright, we will have a blueprint for the makeshift engine.”
”Urgh...finally...” John groaned as he tried to lift his head off the keyboard in front of him, ”I now remember, how much I disliked my classes of engenniering.”
Forge sighed and also rested her head on the table, ”Yeah... engenniering isn't my strength by far...if it was my sister, she would have done everything on less than a few hours.”
John looked at Forge and curiously asked, ”You always compare yourself with your sister, is she that great?”

Forge's eyes instantly brightened as she answered, ”Yes, yes! She's great! At the age of 15, Githa was already the lead scientist in bioenginnering, mechatronics, biorobotics, and the chief of Tech Abilities Research and Development Department, TARDD!”
John was shocked at the portfolio of Forge Umbra's sister, Githa Umbra.
What really surprised him, was the fact that in the young age of 15, she was already the chief of one of the most important department in the Miniknog, the TARDD.
Almost 30% of Tech Abilities created until now we're developed by the TARDD alone. By comparison, the Independent Scientific Union (ISU) developed 10%, and the Terrene Protectorate was responsible for 50%.
The remaining 10% were mostly created by other private companies such as the USCM, Letheia Corporation and others.
The Terrene Protectorate was only able to stay ahead the ISU and Miniknog's TARDD because of almost unlimited resources, and personnel available, from across all sectors.
Seeing the shocked John in front of her inflated her pride as she continued, ”The newly developed Tech Ability known as X-Ray was created by her. She was also working in a secret project that aimed to create a new and more advanced PIPS, since it didn't change for a long time. Is not easy to change and modify Ancient technology such as the PIPS.”
[Wow, they are really daring.] John commented inwardly, [Trying to modify the PIPS, the Terrene Protectorate tried to modify the PIPS after reverse engineering it, but why only managed to gather enough technology and info to create the Matter Manipulator. Improve Ancient technology is impossible, at least with our current knowledge and technology.]
The PIPS only became widespread as it is because the Terrene Protectorate was the one that found how to make them inside an Ancient Vault and made it public knowledge soon after.
If it was some company or government like the Miniknog that found the Ancient Vault that contained the knowledge on how to create the PIPS, it would certainly be kept in secret for profit or military advantage.
After speaking about her younger sister with such enthusiasm, Forge suddenly became downcast, ”I wonder how she's going...when I left the Miniknog, she was almost 17 years old.” Forge sadly whispered.
”How you escaped from the Miniknog?” John became curious about Forge's past after hearing about her genius younger sister, ”I heard is very hard to escape from their control, even more so scientists that they deem important.”
”It was the Nova Rebellion, they helped me.” Forge answered, ”I was contacted by a famous rebel called Lana Blake. She got everything ready to me and in no time shipped me away from the Miniknog and into a Nova Rebellion outpost. They offered me job inside the Rebellion, but I didn't want to develop weapons and stuff to be used in war and conflicts, and so I rejected their offer. They didn't seem to be displeased with my choice and they simply asked if I wanted to join the ISU then. I accepted and they got me working there ever since.”
