651. A Message from Space

Ajax gave all the people there an amazing buffet that night. He brought food directly from Phixheim. There were just 30 or so people in the village anyway. Many of them were children too.

"Ah, finally some real food." Senku devoured food like an animal.

The people were like that too. They had never eaten such tasty food in their life.

There was also an old man called Kaseki. He looked small and weak but he suddenly ripped his clothes and buffed up. But his eyes were also tearful because of the taste.

Ajax then noticed Hats not eating food. "Hey, Hats. Stop texting. I've told you already, you are being catfished. I can guarantee that the person on the other side is a guy."

"Oh really? Since when did Ajax become love guru?" Hats scoffed.

"Because I read your chat, dude. I know when there is a guy on the other side. Call it a hunch." Ajax insisted.

"Huh, well, my hunch says my Kirin is a cute kitty cat." Hat rebuked.

Ajax shook his head, "That is not a hunch, that is desperation."

"Big Brother, I'm sleepy." Thea came to Ajax. She rubbed her eyes. She had played with other kids the whole time that day and had gotten tired.

"Okay, you will be sleeping in my tent. Can't have you away from my eyes. Let's go." He had already set up a tent for himself in the village. He was also going to bring some Hoi-poi capsule houses later. They were amazing as they came with all modern convenience.

For the night, they slept cozily. The next day, Ajax disappeared into Phixheim for a few minutes. When he appeared, he came with lots of stuff.

"Senku, here you go. 100 mobile phones, 2 step-up transformers, a full communication system setup. Uncle Alfred made it smaller and more efficient. And here are 24 mini-satellites for our real-time 24X7 worldwide communication coverage." Ajax revealed.

Senku was excited, very very excited. But before they sent the satellites in space, what they needed was to set up a command centre. To control and maintain these satellites.

But, they had a problem. Insufficient electricity. Even though they had a transformer now, it still needed electricity first.

"Hmmm, Senku. Let's make a hydro-electric dam. We have a running river here and we will be making a small dam, so that it does not affect the river badly. I have the strength and you have the mind. If you make the design and concrete, I will bring the turbine and the motor, along with some big batteries." Ajax suggested.

Senku smiled ear to ear. He wanted to make a dam eventually but this was better, his plans were getting fulfilled much faster. "A good plan, Ajax. Let's do it."

So, with that, everyone got to work. Senku had already worked to make concrete so this time making it was easy. What they needed to do was to make it on a large scale. Hence, Ajax told them to catch a few horses or bulls to help them will man work. He was already surprised that these people had not domesticated many animals yet.

After that, making the concrete became easy as the bulls were used for mixing. No animals were harmed in all this process, instead, they were given a better life, away from the dangerous jungle, filled with predators.

Once done, Ajax went to Phixheim and brought the needed material. He then first dug into the sideways for the river to make it bypass. Then he blocked the middle section.

"Quickly, keep on handing me cement. I will lay it perfectly, "Ajax instructed.

Senku oversaw the whole project. He made sure that all the designed plans were correctly followed. So Ajax just built a dam in a day. With the help of magic, it also solidified very soon. After that was the important machinery that needed to be added.

After a few more minutes, the Dam was done and he redirected the river to its original path. Ajax quickly released the breaks from the turbine and the water flow started increasing the turbine's speed. The metres at the control station started showing a positive charge. The needle in the metre slowly rose up. Soon, the electric grid switched on and light bulbs around the whole village and inside the hits started to light up.

The whole village looked bright even in the darkness. Kids and elders cheered for this bright invention. Ajax couldn't help but smile. These people, except Senku, were really like stone-age people. Every new invention was a first for them.

But Ajax and Senku were not done. Then they went ahead to set up the communication system. The control centre was set up in a house.

After a lot of thinking and celebrations, Senku agreed, "Ajax, throw them."

Ajax looked in the sky to focus on where he was supposed to throw them. But then he noticed something. A blinking light in the sky.

"Senku, why is that light blinking in the sky?" Ajax asked.

Senku focused on the sky. He also noticed the flickering lights. "This... space station should be in shreds by now. What could it be?"

"Oh that, I know about that. It was some kinds of lines. I plotted them but couldn't read them." Chrome interjected.

"What? Where is the paper?" Senku asked.

Chrome ran towards his lab, Senku did it too. Ajax calmly went after them. Once there, Senku held a page with Japanese characters.

Chrome started explaining how he found this, "I paid close attention to the stars and notices a pattern in the light signal. I noticed that the light shines in different places each time. I then arranged the light signals the way I saw them and plotted out the points. The points, when put together, read something I don't know."

"'Byakuya, I am here,' that is what the signal said. This means, there is someone or something up there, waiting to be rescued." Senku exclaimed.

"No problem, Hats here will go up there, set up the satellites and bring back whatever is the originator of this signal." Ajax decided.

"Will he be okay?" Senku asked.

"Sure, he can easily live in a vacuum. Don't forget who he is." Ajax boasted.

"Huh, all right, I will go and save whoever is stuck there." Hats heroically agreed.

Meanwhile, Ajax talked to Senku. "Now that we have this device working, where will we put it for your friend to pick it up?"

"Somewhere near the base of Tsukasa." Senku planned.

"In fact, you don't even have to worry about this Tsukasa empire anymore because I am here. Don't worry." He patted Senku's shoulder.
