89. New Invention Again

Currently, Indra is doing all his usual agenda. But he is also working on something new. It's an idea from his sister that she got after thinking hard for 3 days, a Gate detector.

Be it now or even in the next few years, mankind still can't detect the appearance of new Gates with any device. The discovery of new Gates always depends on people.

That's why sometimes there are unexpected outbreaks from undiscovered Gates, just like the case in Jin Ah's school where Orcs come out of a Gate hidden in the storage room.

So Dewi thinks that if Indra can make a device to detect Gates in an area, then there won't be any case of undiscovered Gates. Indra thinks it's a good idea because there are a lot of casualties caused by undiscovered Gates.

"Hmm, how should I make this?"

Indra already has a general concept of how the device will work. He plans to make it work like a radar, but he doesn't know how to create the spell from the runes for that.

"There's no doubt it will need to use magic crystals or monster cores as its energy source. But I'm sure it will need a lot of magic power to cover a large area. It will be a problem if we need to replace the magic crystals too often. Hmm...."

Indra is thinking about the energy cost problem. This isn't a weapon, after all, so he shouldn't focus on power, but efficiency. If it spends too much energy, then the cost will be high and no country will want to use it.

"Ah! I can just make it absorb mana from the surroundings."

Although Earth isn't rich in mana yet, the amount of mana in the atmosphere is still high enough for all awakeners to use. If not, then awakeners won't be able to recover their mana in less than a day.

The mana also starts to affect the environment on Earth anyway. Although the changes aren't visible yet, many things on Earth like soil, rocks, plants, and even animals start to absorb the mana that is released from Gates.

After getting that idea, Indra quickly works on his new research. If this succeeds, then he can reduce the number of accidents caused by undiscovered Gates, which will prevent more victims.

"It doesn't need to be able to detect the Gates' ranks. As long as it can detect the Gates, then it's enough. I also need to make sure it only detects Gates, not awakeners that also release mana from their bodies."

There are some other factors that he needs to be mindful of when creating this device. These factors make it more difficult for him, but he can't just ignore these things because they are important.

Indra works on this research using his clones too because he has many other things to do. His main body's job is still to awaken and upgrade the power of people with great potential all over the world.

Having more powerful Hunters is still much better than having more weapons for now. But people with S-Rank potential are not easy to find even if Jin Woo sends a lot of shadow soldiers all over the world, so Indra doesn't awaken people every day.

When he doesn't do it, he is focusing on his research. He focuses on the new device, but he also works on improving the things he has created like the Magic Guns.

Now, they start making different models of Magic Guns. These new models are still being developed and not sold yet though because they are still barely able to meet the market needs.

Unfortunately, KLOK can't produce the new models because these new ones are heavy artillery that KLOK isn't specialized for. So they are looking for new partners to produce these new models.

Tanks, warships, fighter jets. Their new weapons are developed for those kinds of things and Indra is focusing on making it possible for them to be used by non-awakeners because those things are owned by militaries.

Militaries are trained much better than most Hunters, but most of them are non-awakeners because those who awaken among the soldiers usually change professions into Hunters to help their countries kill monsters.

Indra always thinks that it's a big waste for those well trained people to be so powerless against monsters and hunters.

It just doesn't feel right to see how they can lose against an alcoholic uncle next door that is lucky enough to awaken as a high-rank hunter even though he never trained to fight correctly his whole life.

That's why Indra is trying to make all the soldiers in the world capable of fighting monsters even if they don't awaken.

So while creating the Gate Radar, Indra also works on improving the Magic Weapons that can be used by non-awakeners, especially the military.

Time passes quickly and it takes half a year for Indra to finish the Gate Radar. He makes it so efficient that it only needs an E-Rank monster core as its energy source and it doesn't need to be changed for a month.

As planned, it absorbs mana from the surroundings to replenish its energy. But that doesn't mean it will last forever because the core crystal itself will break after being used for a month.

An E-Rank monster core per month is a low price for safety, so Indra is sure that no one will complain. Well, he doesn't care even if there are people who complain anyway.

The device is shaped as a small box with antennas on 4 sides and its top. It can be connected to computers for the reading just like the Magic Power Measurement device.

Each device can detect Gates in the radius of 20 km. It needs to be placed high too, just like signal towers.

Indra will announce his new device in the International Guild Conference again because it's just 2 months away. So before that, he is looking for a partner to produce this device.

The production is simple, so the Director, who previously was his Guild's Secretary General tells him to partner up with a local company because it will be much easier to supervise, which Indra agrees.

Because the scale of their business has expanded so much, he thinks that Secretary General position is not good anymore because it feels like that's a similar position to his personal assistant.

So he promoted his Secretary General to Director position and they reformed the Guild's management structure, making it very similar to a Corporation. As the Guild Master, he is in the position of company President, and his sister is the Vice President.

Well, they think that soon they will need to form a Corporation because of their massive business scale. But Indra thinks that it's too much work to do for now.

He can't think about such a thing, especially when the war is getting closer, so they stay as a Guild but they do much more than any other Guilds.

Anyway, as usual, he leaves the business stuff to his Guild's Director. Having competent people on his side that he can rely on sure is nice.

Thanks to his competent Director, they find a partner to produce the Gate Radar very quickly. They quickly work on the partnership and make sure the Gate Radar is ready to be mass produced after the International Guild Conference ends.

Then just as planned, Indra introduces the Gate Radar in the International Guild Conference. The main topic of this year's Conference is the increasing number of Gates, especially the high rank ones.

They have increased a lot since the double S-Rank Gates appeared. So this is a perfect time to introduce this device because the number of undiscovered Gates also increases and sometimes they are discovered just a day before breaking.

Of course, everyone that participates in the conference is surprised by this new technology. They are once again being rendered speechless by Indra's ability. After all, it's like he doesn't have any limits.

At this point, they won't even be surprised if Indra says he can also grow stronger instead of just expanding his skills. They just don't know how true that joke of them is.

Anyway, the new device obviously becomes a hot topic and all countries want it. So the production starts right away and thanks to this device, a lot of incidents caused by undiscovered Gates can be prevented.

The year changes and Indra is wondering when the next S-Rank Gates will appear this year. He wonders if S-Rank Gates will appear together again like last year.

Luckily, they don't appear at the same time again. However, it just needs to appear in his hometown. The 5th S-Rank Gate appears in Bali.
