NOVEL WEB Chapter 77: Progress of Clones
The smell of cedar wood permeates the surroundings, followed by a smoky smell of ores being smelted. The progress of industrialization is progressing smoothly. With quick and confident strides, Quagmire watched in awe of everything that was transpiring, and after a few moments of looking and observing what was happening around, he finally had had enough, and so he began to think of what he would do next.
After a few moments of giving it some thought, he has finally decided to check up on the progress of his children. Though only a day has passed, there must have been a significant amount of progress, as in the future it will only progress much more rapidly than it is now.
With that in mind, and a quick turn of his feet, and a few hasty steps, he changed direction and into the direction of the cloning facility. Moreover, along the way, there were more cloning facilities being made; it seemed that the droids prioritized the manufacturing plants. he left the prioritization on automated after all.
He has no problem with it anyway, as building up his economic power is much more important than the population, especially with the power of automated things and artificial intelligence, with droids and his technology, it would definitely lead to prosperity. If they prioritized manpower, then he would only raise them, and it might lead to more problems, as he was still only one person.
Right now, it would take about four days for the clones to fully mature into eighteen years of age from his world. It was due to the boost that he received, but usually it would take a week of development in the cloning facilities, and two weeks to be raised to fully mature and then start to age normally, like him.
Which is why after today, there would be three days left, and tomorrow would be the day his children would come out as children, right now he was visiting as he was curious to see the progress of development of his children, and also he was really just curious how babies are formed in the womb.
After all, before being born are inside the womb of their mothers, and so you would not be able to see the inside, unless special instruments are used, but even with special instruments it was black and white, and not fully colored and you would have to guess its shapes too, not a fully see through, which is why it was such an opportunity.
With that in mind, all the while being filled with fascination and awe, he went out and got out of the platforms that were being built, the place where he was observing the developments from earlier, and started to hurriedly quicken his steps, but remaining soft and precise, with confidence exuding from his aura.
Structures that span a few dozen meters up quickly pass by, followed by droids of different nature going back and forth. Thus, after a few moments of travelling had passed, he finally arrived at his very first cloning facility.
With a twist of a knob, opened and entered through the door. Inside, he was greeted with four pods, marking an entire squad of his clones, or what he would like to call his very children and blood. After all, it was through his blood that they were created.
He would like to increase the production rate of the cloning facility. Unfortunately, this was the current limit of the facility, and for him, so he brought such thoughts out of his mind. As soon as things would definitely change for the better, he just needed to be patient and let things happen naturally.
Upon arriving at the cloning facility, he stepped forward and moved closer to the pods. Inside, it was a baby being formed. It did not look like the complete baby, but definitely there were no resemblances, and the more he stared at it, the more fascinated he was. Not only that, he was extremely happy as he let out a pleasant smile. After all, who would not be happy? It was his very own flesh and blood that he was seeing at his very front.
Unable to shake his happiness, he brought his hands forward and touched the glass panel, the only thing separating him and his children. Suddenly, the baby moved; he saw his feet move as if kicking. Quagmire let out a chuckle as he saw his children's antics; they must have been already impatient, wanting to come out soon.
Unfortunately, they would need to wait a few dozen more hours so that they are fully mature and have turned into children. Quagmire stayed there for a few more moments, seemingly lost in his own thoughts and fascination, until he snapped out of it, as he had spent a lot of time already, and he still had things to do around the base.
With that in mind, he twisted his feet and turned back from the glass panels leaving behind his children to develop more, he then moved forward and arrived at the front of the door, with a twist of the knob he came out and was greeted by the rays of high noon sunshine. By this, a few hours had already passed as he stared at his watch, which was now charged and powered by the Central Power Beacon.
Now that he was out, he begun to think of what he was going to do next, and after a few moments of deliberation, he decided to receive the rewards that he have accumulated in the past day, and after that start patrolling again later, as he needs to make sure that the perimeter of his base, and maybe go buy some blueprints of automated defense systems along the way.
With that in mind, he glanced around his surroundings, and when he saw a spot he could use to rest and think about things, he raised his foot and started moving there with sharp and confident strides. Upon arriving, he sat below the shade of a tree, all the while taking in the beauty of nature along with the beauty of industrialization.
