Reborn With A Technology System In A Fantasy World-Chapter 106: Transportation Plans

The world dissolved in a flash of light, and Adrian found himself back within the confines of the underground capsule.

He easily climbed up the hole with the help the grips and he carefully removed the camouflaged hatch, pushing aside the loose soil and stone that concealed it.

Emerging from the six-foot-deep hole, Adrian’s boots crunched against the hard, cracked earth of the Corrupted Lands.

Adrian stood still for a moment, taking in the silence of the wasteland. He deactivated the Power Suit entirely, its sleek blue black form melting away into his [Inventory].

The absence of its weight felt liberating, and the cool, arid breeze brushed against his skin, grounding him in the real world.

Summoning a woven mat from his [Inventory], Adrian spread it across the cracked ground and lay down, staring up at the overcast sky.

"I have some more projects waiting after the drones," he murmured to himself. But for now, he needed rest. He set a mental command to the Tech Core:

"Wake me in ten hours or if you detect a mana spike." With that, he closed his eyes, letting the quiet of the Corrupted Lands lull him into sleep.

For the full ten hours, Adrian slept in peace, his body finally surrendering to the rest it craved.

The Tech Core’s alarm soon pinged sharply in his mind, snapping his eyes open. The sleep had worked wonders as his mind felt sharp and his body refreshed.

Without a hint of grogginess, he stood, retracting the mat into his [Inventory] with a mental command.

His focus returned instantly, and he summoned the drones from his [Inventory].

Eleven sleek, Sylvaris-framed drones materialized in a perfect line before him, their aerodynamic curves glinting faintly in the dim light.

Adrian inspected each drone meticulously, checking the propulsion systems, runes, and array field connections.

He activated the signal receiver clipped to his belt, ensuring it was synced to the swarm. Satisfied, he launched them one by one, triggering a rune on each drone’s frame to activate its propulsion.

The drones whirred to life, their gyroscopes stabilizing them as they lifted off with a soft hum.

They ascended gracefully, weaving separately through the air to avoid collisions, their jaw-dropping speed carrying them into the sky like a flock of mechanical birds.

Adrian watched, a smile spreading across his face, as they vanished into the distance.

"According to my calculations, they’ll need at least five days for a thorough search of the entire land."

The swarm’s array field would ensure they covered the 20,000-square-kilometer expanse efficiently, each drone scanning a designated sector.

If mana was detected, the receiver would beep, and the GPS tracker would log the coordinates, guiding him to the source. For now, though, he had to wait.

Summoning the Power Suit once more, Adrian felt its familiar weight settle around him, the black nanomaterial molding to his form, its blue conduits pulsing softly.

He climbed back into the capsule, lowering it into the pit and packing the soil tightly around the hatch.

"If there’s anything these drones might help me with," he mused, "it’s my next project."

He needed a means to travel. If the drones confirmed mana’s presence, he would need to reach it quickly.

Even if they found nothing, exploring the vast Corrupted Lands on foot was impractical. "I wasn’t sure I could create one before," he said to himself, "but now I’m certain I can. I’m going to build an automobile."

With a steadying breath, he spoke the command: "Visit Factory."

The world dissolved, and Adrian reappeared on the lush green grass outside the Factory, the vibrant sky swirling above.

He didn’t pause to admire it, heading straight to the assembly room.

He navigated the console, programming it to switch to producing grenades with the 100 3-Star magic crystals in his [Inventory].

"Only revert to default settings when they’re done," he instructed, ensuring the lines would prioritize his orders. The console pinged in acknowledgment, and he moved on to the workshop.

Grabbing another massive sheet of paper, Adrian began sketching his next project: a magi-tech automobile.

He had considered two options: a motorcycle, which offered speed and agility, or a car, which provided space and durability.

After weighing the pros and cons, he settled on a car. Its larger frame could accommodate more components and it would be better suited to the Corrupted Lands’ rugged terrain.

A motorcycle might be nimbler, but it lacked the versatility he needed for long-term exploration.

For the design, Adrian envisioned a sleek, utilitarian vehicle; nothing flashy, but optimized for efficiency and resilience.

The car would have a low-profile chassis, reinforced with a custom alloy he would develop using his new knowledge.

He planned to combine Drakonium for its corrosion resistance and Sylvaris for its lightweight strength, creating a hybrid alloy that could withstand the desert’s harsh conditions and potential attacks from rogue beasts or environmental hazards.

The frame would be angular, with sloped panels to deflect impacts, and fitted with modified wheels for superior traction on the cracked, uneven ground.

The most challenging component was the engine. Unlike a traditional fuel-powered engine, this would be a magi-tech system, similar to the drone’s propulsion.

It would use enchanted conduits to channel mana from magic crystals, delivering power to a series of runic actuators that drove the wheels.

Adrian aimed for extraordinary speed; capable of exceeding 200 kilometers per hour on flat terrain while ensuring the vehicle could absorb shock and tolerate attacks.

The chassis would be reinforced with runic dampeners to cushion impacts, and the alloy’s natural resilience would protect against minor assaults.

He envisioned a vehicle that could barrel through sandstorms, climb rocky slopes, and shrug off glancing blows from hostile creatures.

His experience at a car company in his past life gave him confidence. He had worked on engine designs and chassis frameworks, so the principles were familiar.

But this project was special as they were elevated by magi-tech.

The windscreen and windows posed a unique challenge. Plain glass couldn’t do. Adrian needed it to be strong and capable of handling mana output.

The material he planned on using was the solution for the cauldron’s transparency, and he would never had figured it out if it wasn’t for the new knowledge he got.

The answer lay in an unexpected material that he never considered as metals: mana-drained magic crystals.
