Codename Prometheus

The laboratory buzzed with quiet intensity as the leading scientists of the academy scrutinized the detailed schematics before them. The document contained exhaustive specifications—every material, every circuit, every production step had been mapped out with meticulous precision. This was unlike anything they had ever encountered.

"This documentation is incredibly thorough," remarked Professor Linford, an esteemed expert in modern weapon systems. "Every stage of the manufacturing process is so clearly defined that even a technician with limited experience could follow it without error."

His colleagues exchanged approving nods. Some had spent decades studying electromagnetic weapons, but never before had they held such a well-defined and executable blueprint in their hands.

Professor Caldwell observed Elias carefully before speaking. "Your design presents no visible structural flaws. What would you say if we initiated production immediately?"

Elias, who had remained composed throughout, nodded firmly. "Sir, this project was never meant to remain theoretical. If all required materials and resources are available, I see no reason to delay."

His tone was even, almost detached, as if discussing a routine experiment. A few of the senior professors glanced at each other, their expressions betraying astonishment.

At exactly 20:00, the high-security laboratory was sealed off for production. While cadets across the academy completed their evening studies, senior engineers and weapons specialists converged on the research complex. Surveillance logs recorded an unusual surge in movement as professors, who rarely left their offices at this hour, strode purposefully toward a single destination.

"What's happening over there?"

"Those are the top-tier weapons research professors. Something significant is going on."

Speculation spread among the students, but inside the lab, the atmosphere was focused. Unlike typical projects where the technical staff handled construction, the professors themselves took direct control of the advanced fabrication units. This was too important to delegate.

Professor Linford activated the central projection interface. "Elias, before we proceed, I want you to walk us through every critical system."

Elias stepped forward, gripping the stylus, and began overlaying technical schematics onto the holographic interface. Dynamic models appeared—coil arrangements, energy flux maps, projectile trajectory analyses—all simulated in real time.

Professor Liang furrowed his brow. "This level of precision..."

Another scientist muttered in disbelief, "This is engineering mastery beyond anything I've seen in my career."

Elias continued without hesitation. "The Type-21 is a modular electromagnetic rifle with an adaptive coil system designed to optimize energy transfer efficiency. The projectile chamber incorporates a magnetically stabilized guide, reducing atmospheric drag and improving ballistic efficiency by 17.8% over previous models."

Professor Linford crossed his arms. "What about ammunition storage?"

Elias tapped another section of the display, bringing up auxiliary schematics. "The system is equipped with a high-density capacitor array supporting 900 projectile charges. Peak firing capacity is 45 projectiles per second, sustained. The energy recovery system ensures minimal loss, prolonging operational effectiveness in combat scenarios."

A long silence followed.

Finally, Professor Liang exhaled slowly. "These parameters exceed every established standard."

Linford nodded, his expression unreadable. "Then let's proceed."

With the official authorization granted, the research team moved into action. Elias was placed in charge of overseeing production, addressing real-time questions with an efficiency that left even veteran engineers impressed. His command of the subject matter allowed him to provide immediate, accurate solutions for the most intricate design challenges.

The first phase unfolded with methodical precision. Specialized machining drones cut nanometer-precise components, while high-fidelity 3D printing systems constructed the intricate circuitry required for energy distribution. The laboratory operated at peak efficiency.

At a monitoring station, Professor White rubbed his temples, fatigue creeping in. Linford approached, glancing at the console. "Professor, take a moment to rest. I'll supervise for now."

White sighed. "There was a time when I would've worked through the night without hesitation. I suppose I can't deny the years anymore."

Linford smirked. "We should be grateful to witness a moment of such significance."

He cast a glance toward Elias, who was directing operations with methodical confidence.

"Professor White, what do you think of him?"

White hesitated before answering. "He's beyond exceptional. This isn't just intelligence—it's something else entirely."

The next stage of production demanded even higher precision. Hours turned into a relentless march through the night. At precisely 03:00, Elias stepped to the command console and addressed the assembly.

"All components are complete. We are ready for final integration."

A heavy silence settled over the lab. Everyone present understood the gravity of the moment.

Every scientist in the room had worked their entire careers to reach this point. Now, they were no longer theorizing about next-generation weaponry—they were forging it.

Professor Caldwell moved to the main control panel, his voice steady. "Begin the final assembly."

The lab burst into controlled motion. Expert teams worked with microscopic precision, integrating the capacitor array, aligning the projectile chamber, and calibrating the electromagnetic coils with painstaking accuracy. High-powered diagnostic scanners verified every connection, every circuit, ensuring the system operated at peak efficiency.

Elias remained at the forefront, answering inquiries, adjusting tolerances, and solving unforeseen issues as they arose. His calm focus never wavered.

By 06:30, as the first rays of dawn touched the research complex, the assembly was complete.

Professor Linford took a step back, surveying the final product. Before them stood the first fully operational electromagnetic rifle.

The weapon was secured onto a reinforced test platform, diagnostic links running to every component. The scientists gathered around, monitoring data streams in real-time.

Caldwell turned to Elias. "Initiate first-phase diagnostics."

Elias keyed in a sequence, and the rifle hummed to life. Energy readings stabilized, coil integrity confirmed, and internal cooling systems activated in perfect synchronization.

Linford scrutinized the performance data. "Power stability at optimal levels. Minimal energy loss."

Professor Liang checked the projectile feed system. "Firing chamber and magnetic stabilization are operating within expected parameters."
