Chapter 169 Assembling The Dream

"Let's get to work," Aron said to himself as he rose from his seat, where he had been resting with the other members of ARES.
He began walking towards the completed construction site, which prompted the ARES members to do the same, following his lead.
This compelled him to say, "Not now, you guys continue resting. The preparations are not done." They immediately nodded in agreement and sat back down to continue their rest.
As Aron walked towards the location, he was suddenly intercepted by a vehicle that resembled a golf cart. He couldn't help but laugh as he recognized it as Nova's creation.
Expressing his gratitude, he boarded the golf cart, which promptly started driving itself towards the underground construction site.
"Oh my god, it's cooking in here," Aron exclaimed as the car he was in began descending underground. He could feel the heat emanating from the underground, making the surroundings even hotter.
Immediately, Nova activated the vehicle's air conditioning system, swiftly cooling the air surrounding Aron and alleviating the intense heat. Aron couldn't help but express his gratitude once again, feeling a wave of relief as the cool air enveloped him.
[You are welcome] Nova replied calmly, as she continued controlling the vehicle.
When the car arrived at the underground opening, Aron was greeted by an overwhelming wave of heat. Despite Nova's best efforts, the air conditioning in the car struggled to cool the air around him as quickly as the intense heat replaced it.
"Let me handle it," Aron said determinedly. H as he swiftly casted the cooling rune on himself, channeling its power to cool down his blood. As the chilled blood circulated through his body, he felt an instant cooling effect that countered the oppressive heat.
With his body temperature regulated, he confidently stepped out of the car, now at the center of the massive room in the underground construction site.
After Aron stepped out of the car, it promptly departed, leaving him alone in the pitch darkness of the underground construction site. However, with the glasses on him, they granted him the ability to see in darkness as if he were outside in broad daylight.
"Let's get started," Aron said, his gaze fixed upon the ceiling.
With a deep breath, he began to channel his mana, focusing on casting a rune.
Without delay, a colossal cooling rune materialized. The underground chamber erupted in a golden magical light(for those who could see mana) as the rune grew, expanding to a massive size of five hundred meters in length and breadth.
Following that, Aron steadily elevated it until it reached the rooftop where it began to sink partially into the roof, integrating itself with the structure.
Once the rune had firmly embedded itself on the roof, Aron closed his eyes, entering a state of deep concentration. For the following five minutes, he focused intensely, infusing the rune with his intentions. Shortly after, the rune shimmered and transformed into a radiant white hue, signifying that it had been fully imbued with his intent.
Within that brief span of time, Aron's had imbued his intent for the rune, which was to maintain a consistent temperature of 15 degrees Celsius within the room, regardless of external factors.
The rune, fueled by the supply of mana, would ensure the desired temperature was sustained. However, the amount of mana consumed by the rune would vary based on the degree of cooling required.
The greater the temperature difference, the more mana would be expended to achieve and sustain the desired conditions.
As soon as the rune turned white and the room's temperature began to drop with its activation, Aron abruptly ceased supplying mana to the rune. Instantly, the rune's luminosity dimmed, and the temperature swiftly reverted to its previous hot state.
Nevertheless, for those attuned to the flow of mana, the rune remained visible.
Without hesitation, Aron commenced the casting of another rune. However, this time he allowed it to expand in size until it encompassed the entirety of the chamber. The rune grew exponentially, absorbing the maximum amount of mana Aron could release at once as his heart worked tirelessly to replenish the reserves.
Lowering the immense floating rune until it gently touched the ground, allowing it to sink into the material covering the floor. He closed his eyes once more, immersing himself in deep concentration as he began to infuse his intent into the rune.
While Aron remained immersed in his task of etching intent onto the rune, Nova, stationed outside, initiated the operation of the printer that had been in standby mode. Springing it to life, ready to commence the next printing session.
In a matter of moments, the printer worked its magic, rapidly producing rack after rack of servers at an astonishing pace. The room quickly filled with hundreds of server racks, appearing seemingly out of thin air.
However, these server racks bore little resemblance to the commercial servers commonly seen. Their unique design and appearance set them apart, hinting at the difference of what was inhabiting inside them.
In a fascinating display, the printed server racks extended the wheels they were equipped with and autonomously began moving themselves out of the printer.
As they exited, new server racks were promptly printed in the space they vacated, ensuring a continuous stream of production.
Nova continued printing until she had produced a hundred thousand self-driving server rack-like objects.
They began making their way towards Aron's location while he remained focused on imbuing his intent into the rune.
This time, the process required a substantial amount of time, stretching over two hours before Aron finally ceased his focus. By then, the rune had transformed into a brilliant white hue, signifying that his intent had been successfully imbued into its very essence.
"Are the servers ready?" Aron's voice echoed into the void, disappearing into the engulfing darkness.
[Yes] came a response from Nova.
"Then bring them in, and summon the ARES members as well" Aron commanded, settling himself down as he awaited the execution of his orders.
[I don't recommend it, sir,] Nova replied, respectfully advising against the idea. She added, [The extreme heat would undoubtedly be fatal for them.] emphasizing the grave danger posed by the intense heat.
"Ah, I completely forgot about that. Let them rest," Aron admitted with a chuckle, realizing his oversight.
Within a few minutes, the server racks began arriving one by one in the underground chamber. Without wasting any time, they autonomously moved to their designated locations.
The first server rack made its way to the farthest corner of the room, swiftly followed by the second and the third, and subsequently, the remaining racks fell into formation.
Each server rack finding its rightful place, aligning themselves in an orderly manner as per their given instructions.
The mesmerizing and meticulously choreographed display carried on for an hour, as row after row of servers arrived in a continuous stream. The room gradually filled with the one hundred thousand server racks, their presence creating a silent anticipation.
Now forced to stand at the entrance, Aron observed the chamber now filled with server racks, a smile of deep satisfaction gracing his face. In this moment, he reflected upon the arduous journey that had brought him to this pivotal stage, where his vision of attaining boundless computing power was on the verge of becoming a reality.
