In the underground basement, Aron's amazement surged even further as he envisioned the vast amount of knowledge and the universe's secrets that he had uncovered, all thanks to the galaxy rotating before his eyes.
Meanwhile, Nova inquired to the still enthusiastic-looking Aron, [Should I further increase the time acceleration, or do we stick to the usual five to one we had thought of before?]
"How much can you increase it?" Aron asked.
Nova replied, [We can increase it up to fifty-five times, but that's only possible when no one has logged in to the system. And currently, despite having our atomic printer, Earth's material advancements are still lagging behind in this aspect. The necessary materials required to ensure the safety of virtual reality logins, where time moves 35 times faster than the real world, don't exist yet, and to obtain them, we'll need to venture out into the unknown."
"So how much time acceleration is safe enough for the users to log in without facing any harm with the ability of the current devices?" Aron inquired as he was about to conclude his next course of action.
[Maximum of ten times, however, if the logout time is to be extended to five more minutes, I can make the time acceleration go up to fifteen times.] Nova answered.
"Alright, accelerate the time to the maximum capacity we are capable of right now and at the same time open a new instance of the universal simulation. However, stop right after we are done with simulating the earth, we will use that for the people who will log into the universal simulation," Aron ordered after taking a short moment to consider everything.
[Done] Nova reported back shortly since she had immediately raised the time acceleration of the prime universal simulation to thirty-five times faster than the real world, while simultaneously opening a new instance and simulating the earth, expanding the simulation until it simulated the moon, before halting there.
"Use the brain data of the scientists we have as an example and populate them in all those habitable planets in the galaxy. However, make sure that their bodies are exactly the same as would be if they had originated from here. Also, give them the knowledge of how things work, but don't give them answers to everything. Let them start most of the things by themselves from scratch, I want to see how they develop, since that might give us an insight if there were aliens on any of those planets based on their thinking process and technological advancement," Aron said, pointing out what he had thought in order to use the universal simulation to the best of its ability after witnessing one of its advancements.
[Although it won't provide us with a one-to-one comparison, it's better to have at least some base information as to when we encounter them] Nova said as she followed the orders, birthing trillions and trillions of lives in the universal simulation, bringing all of them to life inside all the 29 billion habitable planets situated inside the universal simulation.
While the process was going on, Nova asked, [Should I make them capable of reproducing?]
"Yes, make it accessible to them so that we can witness how different cultures emerges due to the increase in their number" Aron nodded in excitement, realizing the potential.
His order was followed by another question from Nova, [How about death?]
"Of course, with death always chasing behind, they will be forced to make more innovations, or that's what I think of it. Maybe they might even try to overcome it by inventing new technologies," Aron said while explaining the reason behind his thought.
[What about the ones in the lab city?] Nova asked after another moment.
"The ones in the lab city, leave them to be immortal, but allow them to reproduce since I want to see what will be the result if the children are raised in an environment filled completely with geniuses from different fields," Aron said as he started imagining some super kids that would be roaming the city, excited with the thought, he couldn't help but ask, "How long is it going to take?"
[Since I need to individually make their bodies capable of adapting to their respective planets, to finish the populating process of all of the 29,235,673,456 habitable planets, it will take me about three hours.] Nova replied.
"Sure, take your time," Aron said, logging out to do one last thing before he left the basement.
Upon logging out, Aron immediately put his hand on the door, the only opening to enter the server room.
He then cast a shield Rune, that was soon etched onto the open metallic-looking doors. After five minutes of Aron's focus, the Rune turned white before he closed the heavy doors. Shortly after this, Nova immediately reacted by powering the shield rune that was etched on the doors, making it to be immediately covered by a blue hue, effectively blocking access to anyone without permission from trying to enter the server room.
Following that, he immediately boarded the golf cart which, just like the first time, drove itself out of the underground, transporting him to the surface.
.....
[The server is back online, sorry for the inconvenience we caused!]
Sarah received the notification while she was still in the middle of a meeting with a group of lawyers.
Being the only one who can see and hear the notification, she simply smiled and ignored it, continuing the meeting as she asked, "So, the leftover process should be completed by next month, right?"
"Yes, ma'am. Although during the first phase, we were faced with a high level of repelling attempts, it disappeared after some time and the rest of the phase only required some time to be completed," one of the lawyers nodded in agreement.
"Even if this is good, I suggest that we don't let our guard down as they might be just letting it fester before making a comeback with an even more powerful attempt than previous," suggested another lawyer, immediately after the first one answered Sarah's question.
"That's true, and we should keep that in mind. I don't want any trouble or obstacles to appear in the process anymore," Sarah agreed.
"Yes ma'am, but also..."
This back-and-forth conversation between the lawyers and Sarah as they discussed the remaining steps that were required during the process of changing the company's registered country.
