Chapter 33 A slip of tongue (1/2)

Aariv picked up the 6 solar panels, battery and wire, and headed to the roof, where the cub followed behind with its small steps.

When he came out of the room he saw Black coming towards him.

”Your highness, I have good news,” Black said cheerfully.

”Oh what is it?” said Aariv,

He wasn't looking like some noble prince but like some mine worker. His face had black dust all over and his clothes had turned dirty due to dealing with sand.

”We found the couple you were looking for. They are still alive but not in very good health. The man had an accident 5 years ago and couldn't do manual work, he was going to be executed but then the mine supervisor took pity on him and gave him a desk job of calculating every day's output. Both of them are currently being respectfully brought to the capital, they'll be here in 2 days” Black answered.

Aariv was very happy with the news, ”Give the mine supervisor 5 gold panas, tell him that prince Aariv is grateful” Aariv said and handed the battery and wire to Black.

”Follow me,” he said.

Aariv went to the roof and looked for a nice place to set up the panels. After looking for some time he settled for a location.

”Black, put the stuff here,” Aariv said.

He set up the solar panels and hammered the nails to the metal frames and the ground. He just used his hand to hammer the nails. Black was surprised to see Aariv doing that like it was nothing.

He then connected the wires and the battery. The battery was waterproof so he fixed it near the panels. He didn't want to use too much wire so he decided to make magnets on the roof.

He took out an iron ingot and levitated it and then used pyrokinesis to burn it beyond the Curie temperature, which was 770-degree Celcius(1,418-degree Fahrenheit).

All ferromagnetic materials like cobalt, nickel and iron, when heated beyond Curie temperature their atoms align themselves to form magnetism. Then the iron is cooled down in a magnetic field and hammered at the same time. This way permanent magnets are created.

It took Aariv 3 hours to make 20 circular magnets. He then started to lay down the wires. He asked Juno for help to hide the wires in the walls, but most of the walls were made of wood, so he had to be careful where he put the wires. He extended one wire to the Royal court and another to the King's bedroom.

”Aariv, when did you come back?” his mom asked, the moment he entered the room. His little brother Bindusara was also there.

”Big brother, where is my present?” His brother asked.

Aariv's brows furrowed. He forgot to tell his mom that he was back and to bring his brother a present. He set up the wires hurriedly and ran to the door.

”I'll be back in an hour with a present and answer your questions.” He said and ran out.

”Your highness, Her majesty will get angry at you later,” Black said, he had gotten used to Aariv's easygoing nature by now.

”I know man, she's too dramatic. Let's go now. we need to set things up.”

...

15 minutes later, Aariv was in the empty Royal hall with Black. He set up the Jukebox near the entrance reserved for the emperor, which was behind the big curtain and the Throne. He set it up there so that the servant could quickly play and stop the music at the emperor's discretion.

He also attached 10 more speakers all around the big hall. He had made so many magnets, just to make speakers and sub-woofers.

After setting everything up, he powered up the jukebox. Many led light light up and made a pixelated lion pattern. Aariv clicked on a cyberpunk song to check speakers and subwoofers together.

Soon the whole Hall was covered in futuristic beats, Aariv felt mesmerized with it, Black nearly jumped when he heard the beats and the bass.

Aariv went to every corner to check if everything was working perfectly. There was another button on the Jukebox labeled 'KING'.

He clicked it and a loud Lion's roar sounded in the hall from the throne's direction, the cub got scared and hid between Aariv's legs.

After the roar, intense drumbeat started, it went from low volume to high volume, making the Black feel like someone majestic would come out of the curtains behind the throne at any moment. then the beat suddenly stopped for a second and another roar came.

He had made this just for the emperor's epic entrance. After that, he picked up the frightened cub and went to his room to make a gift for his brother.

He made a simple wind-up(pull-back) car. It just needed a frame, wheels, some gears, and a spring. With the help of Juno, he made it easily.
