I am the God of Technology-Chapter 58 Shopping~
Nuclear weapon… such a thing sounded too good to be true. Dante initially had some speculations, but the actual result terrified him. This weapon was one that had three mode, single fire, rapid fire and launcher.
Each individual bullet was not different from the size of the kinetic weapons bullet. In fact, the exact measurement was not different from the standard 5.56 which was small enough to fit inside a standard magazine.
However, the internal of these bullets did not have gunpowder. The weapons themselves use a small chain reaction to propel the bullets outward, and the tiny bullets contained a small cube that was filled with 50 septillion atoms that could be split remotely to form a nuclear explosion greater than the atom bomb.
To compare, the atom bomb used around 27 sextillion atoms, so you could imagine the gap. The remote explosion was the crazy part as no matter how long or how far after the shot, the atoms could be split on command.
So fire the bullet into an enemy and they flee thinking they are just wounded. Wait for them to return to their base's medical camp for treatment and then set it off. An explosion that was at least twice as powerful as Hiroshima would then happen.
If Dante took this to earth…
Forget human civilization, there were a few alien civilizations he could conquer. However, earth was lucky he was not a ruthless character and planned to use the soft method rather than the hard one.
His shocked expression was seen by the vendor and he thought the worst. His sweat almost pooled to the ground and his weapon was already partially pulled out to deal with what happened next. His helpers saw his movement and were filled with fear, while the other vendors also noticed this one's fear, so their hearts clenched.
The cyborg guards also noticed the tension and hasty movement, so they readied themselves to attack at a moment's notice. It was likely that before this guy could even fire one shot, he would have his entire body riddled with holes and turned into mincemeat.
Amidst all this, Dante exclaimed and glanced at the vendor with a bright smile. "This is a fine weapon. How much is it?"
The entire area became deathly silent. None of the mixed breeds or aliens expected that Dante was actually here to genuinely survey goods and buy them.
What the fuck!
It wasn't even that he was on a mission to uproot rebel forces, but as a Vice Admiral, how could he lack top-tier weaponry issued by the council? Even if he didn't have any, there should be an armory on the dreadnought that he was a vice admiral of, right?!
Well, yes. The Inferno that Beatrice commanded had a huge armory with weapons up to the anti-matter level. However Beatrice was so strong due to her situation that no weapons was better than her firsts, so she hardly had use for them.
Not to mention that there were no other troops on the ship, so who was there to arm up and deploy?
Dante was aware of the dreadnought's impressive armory as he had received the ship's entire layout and inventory when Beatrice took him in, but such weapons were government-issued and required not only paperwork, but were also not truly his.
Hence, here he was. This was also one of the reasons he chose Etonia and not any other place, because on a frontier planet, his purchasing of weapons could be easier to effect than if say, he returned to his villa on earth.
After confirming with the stunned vendor that he was truly shopping, Dante bought one type of every weapon and plenty of ammunition. He bought enough to have a personal armory but also made an extensive order worth a whole 30 Etrans for enough weaponry to arm a whole regiment.
He then chose the delivery location to be his temporary residence in the estate. He would then cart them back to earth bit by bit, but only his personal armory for now. As for the other weapons, he would find a warehouse to store them before taking them to earth when it was time to conquest to occur.
After all, Dante was not delusional to think that every country and human being would toe the line just because he had money and game-breaking technology. Humans were extremely shortsighted and unable to think critically when faced with wealth, so an iron fist would be required to control them.
After shopping, Dante left the weapons mall that looked like a deathclaw had passed through it… uh, maybe a deathclaw wearing a business suit. Not very violent or messy, but the sheer shock left everyone else with frazzled hair and crazed eyes.
Afterward, the entourage continued through the city and eventually came to a robotics vendor that was a big chain business in the galaxy. They sold cyborgs, androids, their parts, and even trained technicians who repaired them.
Dante was immediately starry-eyed as he rushed in. Once again a scene of tension ensued as Dante marveled while the vendors prayed to their sci-fi gods that they would be spared.
Dante shopped and bought a few personal androids guards. He had them customized to look like 2B, Number 18, Roll, and Alita, four powerful Android guards with at least 50 stats in each field and a Bionic output of 7x.
That was the best this group could do as they were a commercial entity. They certainly could not match the government and other larger factions, but this was enough for Dante.
When the vendors received Dante's order, their fear disappeared as they gave him filthy smiles, which told 'I didn't know you were a connoisseur brother'. Dante's face became red and he could only make excuses to explain himself while the other fellows just laughed knowingly.
When the four androids were commissioned and came to stand before Dante, they all greeted him in their sweet voices.
The jade beauty like 2B with a skimpy attire that revealed a large… 'mountain'… behind her, the country girl like 18 who had a cool yet fierce nature, the lovely Roll who looked like a girl next door, and the lithe as well as unruly Alita who looked ready to fight anyone.
No matter who, the eyes turned to this group that surrounded Dante. Since the source material for these beauties did not exist in the Eternal Universe, they were completely novel to the onlookers.
Dante had them programmed with some basic adoptions of their personalities, but he would do a problem recalibration using media from Earth. For now, he had them sent back to his estate as it would be awkward to bring them around on his tour.
After this, Dante also ended up in a spaceship sales company. He bought the latest model planetside 'car' which would travel through all terrains, from underwater, to within the atmosphere, to ice, lava, and even small vacuums.
He then bought a sleek speed-type spaceship that was enough to fit only 10 people at best. It was meant for him, his android guards, and anyone important like Beatrice or something who had to travel with him.
He couldn't always use the government-owned Inferno to travel around, right? That was a right reserved for Beatrice and even though theoretically could… just no. The important thing about positions of power was not how to milk them, but how to maintain them.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm After sorting out his transportation, Dante was satisfied. He had spent a lot of his saved-up Etrans over this four-week period since he arrived in the Eternal Universe, but he had gotten himself many things he needed.
He would have bought armor too if not for the fact that he already had the most powerful Exosuit available attached to his body. He also considered buying enhancements, but he already had the school Bionic and Psionics which were better than anything on the market. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
He did not bother buying gene enhancers because he had the school's welfare enhancements and the Absorption power in the Apocalypse World. Also, he could not take them back to his universe and use them on his parents, because they would likely melt.
Don't forget, Beatrice had to custom-make a special gene enhancer to bring Dante's genes up to the basic level of a pure human here. Without this, he would not have been able to survive being given Bionics, Psionics, or any enhancers.
Now that Dante was done with his shopping spree, it was time to consider his next step. He now had the knowledge and understanding to know that the school probably did not have any qualms against him.
If anything, those teachers would be punished, but the factions behind them would still covet him covertly. However, rather than on Planet Etonia, he was far safer within the boundaries of the school, because it was held up by the arguably most powerful being in the universe in terms of raw martial power, Lara Sanguis!
As long as she said you are safe, you would be safe. If she wanted you to die well…
Then you would die.
