I am the God of Technology

Chapter 16 Quantum Network

?What is a Quantum Network?

It was a unique form of communication that surpassed the common method that required a direct physical connection. Unlike typical networks that transmitted data through wires or waves, the quantum network used the quantum realm of the universe.

In other words, you don't necessarily need a 'cable' to connect two interfaces. Through quantum entanglement, one side would send the communication and the other side would receive it through the quantum network.

The AI chip in everyone's heads at level 1 was a basic quantum processor, which was why it was so powerful. Through it, anyone could connect with the quantum network of their sector without a terminal, even if you were in the dead of space.

However, even if it could do so, the AI chip at its current basic level was not powerful enough to use the quantum network of the universe on a large scale.

Putting aside its own limitations, it worked with the brain power of the user. Unless you wanted to fry your brain from overextension, it was better to find a terminal if you wanted to access the full quantum network.

As Dante was on Earth, the entire planet was a hub, so his connection was fluid and could reach anywhere in the universe.

And the quantum network when used directly through the mind was akin to a virtual reality experience. In fact, Dante knew from the tutorial uploaded to his mind that some sites even possessed augmented reality features.

For now, he accessed his bank to start. He was banking with the biggest and most stable establishment in the universe, the Bank of Eternity. They were the central bank of the entire universe and handled the financials of the entire universe as well as all civilized systems.

They also issued Etrans and were the only authority allowed to do so, so they kept strict control on the amount of currency floating about throughout the universe at any time.

With AI and the quantum network, you could be sure as hell that inflation was a thing as rare as a unicorn. The level of intensity and calculations the bank had over this was beyond what even a skilled economist could speculate.

After all, working with AI and the quantum network meant one solid fact; the human element that poisoned all concepts and ideas was gone, replaced by the cold impartiality of AI.

No embezzlement, no stealing, no nepotism, no favoritism.

Dante appeared in a virtual banking hall where he could see the avatars of other bankers. He realized that he was in an instanced banking hall, and this one was instance number 4 quadrillion and some remnant numerals.

There was a limit to the number of people who could enter each instance, which was 30. Dante saw that there were 23 of out 30 in the room and it was filling up quickly as new instances were being created to handle newcomers.

Dante looked around and saw a variety of races and species just like on that street on Planet Etonia. Standing here, he finally felt the Sci-fi vibes again that filled him with excitement.

The past few hours he had been stuck with Beatrice and despite being beautiful, she did not excite him much. Not to mention she took him straight to earth and he just saw some futuristic human buildings and another human.

This right here was much better for his sense of accomplishment and adventure.

The aliens who were in the banking hall doing various things were also surprised to see a pure human in their instance. After all, the ratio of pure humans to any other species was like grains of sand on a beach to the number of crabs on that same beach.

Dante just happened to see a lot of them because he was one, so they seemed more common than they were.

Despite his rarity though, the other aliens only looked a bit to see what was different about this one before looking away. None came to fawn on him for being a part of the racial elite of the universe or to find out more about him.

In fact, there was a faint hostility in their demeanor, not enough to do anything violent, but they certainly would not show any unnecessary goodwill without a solid reason.

Dante narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Beatrice had underplayed the dislike the other species had for pure humans.

Whatever the case, Dante noticed that he was called up to a booth that was numbered 23, which was his number. In there, an AI-generated human was formed right before him that was based on his taste.

This was generated by his preference through his AI chip. At all times he was communicating with the Etranet with his mind, so any command he had that he wanted to share was implemented at the speed of thought.

The representative flashed a brilliant smile and gestured to the seat opposite her. Dante naturally sat down and got to business, stating that he was there to bind his account.

The bank's representative nodded and then processed his Citizen ID. She soon found an in-trust account opened for him and then handled the transfer process.

The account was bound to Dante's AI chip and could not be accessed by anyone else without his permission. Not only that, but he could use it anywhere in the universe since the Etranet was everywhere.

Even in those outland places, they mostly had to use the quantum network, and the bank didn't care if you were a criminal or a hero. They only dealt with money and not law, this was something they were strict about.

Dante opened his account and saw that a balance of 300 Etrans was sitting inside, ready to use however he wanted. That reminded Dante of something else he had to do and he thanked the representative before logging out of the Bank of Eternity's site.

Dante came to his home page and pondered. He then gave the AI chip a command to download all the formation, be it writing or videos of 'basic' things like Controllable Nuclear Fusion, the initial breakthroughs in medicine like the Penicillin 2.0 which could cure all known diseases, as well as the Literfuel, a special nutrient solution that could slowly enhance the quality of life of any species.

The Literfuel was proprietary, but the patent was over 3,000 years old and had become obsolete with modern tech that had found better formulas and even the gene enhancer, so such a thing was dumped into the public for kids in high school who chose a medicine-related course to study.

Dante was excited. To the Eternal Universe, these things were absolutely outdated and useless, akin to a modern earthling hearing about the steam engine and locomotion, an ancient breakthrough in technology that was long developed upon.

However to the earthling that was stuck in this 'ancient' era, this was revolutionary!

With this, Dante could start on some basic things on Earth. However, before that, he would need to set up a few things and buy some other things.

Most importantly, he would need to empower himself further as his current ability was not enough to make him infallible. If he was to use these things to stand out on earth, he would need martial might as well as political and financial power.

The kind of progress he would be bringing would revolutionize the planet and usher in a new era, causing his name to be in the history books forever. Many would kill for such an opportunity and Dante wasn't about to die to his measly earthling colleagues when he had access to this vast world.

Dante sighed a logged out of the Etranet. His mind could situate itself in reality while his AI chip was on the network doing things for him, so there was no conflict.

The only reason he went in like that was because he was somewhere safe and also because it was his first time. He absolutely had to experience for himself what such a thing would be like, and his curiosity was mostly sated for now.

Beatrice was seated before him, glancing at him with interest. "Well, how was it?"

Dante smiled. "It was actually quite fun."

Beatrice laughed. "Right? I also felt the same way when I first logged in. Oh, we're here by the way."

Dante was startled and looked out. He noticed that they had left the bustling city and had come to a countryside-like area. There was a swath of beautiful villas on each plot that extended for miles and the environment was almost magical.

The mental health of anyone who lived here would be extremely good, that was something Dante could swear.

The shuttle came to a villa numbered 56 and entered its compound. A few butler robots and maid robots filed out from the main door and stood on either side of the entrance, bowing to the humans.

"Welcome Master Dante and Mistress Beatrice!" They echoed in vibrant tones.
