Ch 17, Let it go everything!

Ch-17

Surya returned the company office of the Shreya and leaned towards the room of the Shreya and he heard

Inside the room.

"Shreya, has everything going well?" Vijay asked very soft tone.

"Although the company is going well, but according to data, I don't have much money to invest in the government sector, where I donate the money. To be truth, I never wanted to donate the money, it just because of Surya's parents and my own parents wanted our country to be free from the British and independent that's why, I have been doing this." Shreya hugging Vijay, she said.

Surya stood frozen outside Shreya's office, the soft voice of Vijay drifting through the door, mixed with the words of Shreya. The familiar warmth in her voice, the way she spoke of her frustrations and the quiet intimacy of the moment between them, felt like a sharp knife to his chest. He had always known that Shreya was fiercely independent and had her own world, but hearing her speak so plainly about her relationship with Vijay left him momentarily speechless.

Pawan's earlier words came in his mind—Shreya meeting with Vijay in secret, their past connection, and now this moment of closeness between them. Surya's emotions swirled, but he remained silent.

He had no illusions about his feelings for Shreya. She was someone he had admired, respected, loved, and cared for deeply.

Her intimacy with Vijay, and her candid confession about the donations—done only because of his parents—felt like a quiet betrayal. Not in a dramatic, cinematic way, but in a way that made him question his place in her life and her heart.

Surya stepped back quietly, he, outside of the office unnoticed by those inside. He walked down the hallway, his mind thinking about. He had always been pragmatic, calculating, and forward-thinking.

This, he reminded himself, was no different. Shreya had her life, her decisions, and her own ambitions. She was not bound to him, nor he to her in the way he might have once hoped.

As he reached the exit of the building, the sunset he had admired earlier now felt distant and cold. The world outside seemed to mirror his inner conflict—silent, indifferent, and vast. He knew his emotions had no place in the grander scheme of things.

There were bigger issues at hand, challenges that mother India faced, and responsibilities that weighed on his shoulders. His personal feelings, as powerful as they were, had to be set aside.

Back in the base, surrounded by the hum of activity and the sharp focus of his team, Surya felt a sense of peace.

The path ahead, as always, was clear—strengthen the mother India, protect its future, and ensure that the sacrifices made by so many were not in vain.

Build the military, and create the systems that would secure the nation's sovereignty.

Yet, in the quiet moments, when the noise of the base died down, and he was left alone with his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a flicker of something he rarely allowed himself to acknowledge—loss.

Surya shook off the lingering emotions, reminding himself of the bigger picture. Sentimentality had no place in the mission he had committed himself to. He had come too far to let personal feelings cloud his judgment.

But somewhere, deep within, the image of Shreya and Vijay, their quiet moment together, remained etched in his mind—a reminder that even the strongest of men are not immune to the vulnerabilities of the heart.

After that he returned scientific research laboratories in the Madya Pradesh.

Surya sat in his private chamber at the secret base, deep in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, his mind still lingering on the events in Bombay. The revelation about Shreya and Vijay was not something he could easily brush off.

He turned his attention to a issue: the development of advanced military technology. Surya's foresight, gifted by his knowledge of the future, had given him a significant edge over his contemporaries. He had seen the rise of modern warfare, the advent of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), advanced battery technologies, and the role they played in global dominance. He knew that India, if it were to survive the onslaught of powers like China and Pakistan, needed to embrace these innovations. It was not just about protecting the borders; it was about ensuring India's sovereignty in an increasingly hostile world.

The base around him was bustling with activity. Engineers, scientists, and military personnel moved with purpose, all working on projects that would give India the technological edge it desperately needed. Surya had handpicked the brightest minds from across the country himself, bringing them together in secrecy to develop weapons, systems, and technologies that would change the course of India's defense strategy.

Surya's thoughts turned to the UAV project. Drones, as they were known in the future, would revolutionize warfare. He had seen them in action—small, agile, and lethal. In the hands of a well-equipped military, they could be the difference between victory and defeat. UAVs could perform reconnaissance, deliver payloads, and engage targets without risking human lives. They were the future of warfare, and Surya knew that India needed them sooner rather than later.

He stood up from his desk, his mind racing with ideas. The UAV project had to begin immediately, but it was not just the drones themselves that needed attention. The power systems that fueled them were equally important. In the future, lithium-ion batteries had become the standard for powering everything from smartphones to electric vehicles to military equipment. But in 1948, such technology was still in its infancy.

Surya called for a meeting with his top engineers and scientists. As they gathered in the briefing room, he laid out his vision.

"Gentlemen," he began, his voice steady and authoritative, "the world is changing, and we need to be ahead of the curve. The wars of the future will not be fought with just guns and tanks. They will be fought with technology, and I want our mother India to be prepared. Our neighbors, particularly China and Pakistan, will not wait for us to catch up. We must act now."

He paused, looking around the room at the attentive faces. These were the men and women who would help him change the course of history.

"Our first priority is the development of unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs will allow us to gather intelligence, monitor enemy movements, and, if necessary, strike targets with precision. We need a fleet of drones that can operate in various environments—mountains, deserts, jungles, and coastal areas. But more importantly, we need to power these drones with advanced battery systems."

One of the lead engineers, Dr. Anil Sharma, raised his hand. "Sir, while the concept of UAVs is sound, the technology required for batteries is still very new. We don't have the materials or the manufacturing capability to produce them on a large scale."

Surya nodded. "I'm aware of the challenges, Dr. Sharma. But we cannot afford to wait. We need to develop a battery that is light, efficient, and powerful enough to keep these drones in the air for extended periods. I want you and your team to focus on battery development as a top priority. We need to start experimenting with lithium-ion cells, even if it means importing materials in secret."

Dr. Sharma looked uncertain but determined. "We'll do our best, sir. But it will take time."

Surya's gaze hardened. "Time is something we don't have, don't worry I'll give you the prototype of the battle that I have studied, you can take a look and try to upgrade it as soon as posible. The world is moving fast, and we need to move faster. You have my full support and access to any resources you need. Just make it happen."

As the meeting continued, Surya outlined the broader scope of the UAV project, he most of the time teaches those scientist about the production technology of UAV and li-on battery. He wanted drones that could serve multiple purposes—reconnaissance, surveillance, and combat. They needed to be equipped with cameras, radar systems, and communications equipment that would allow them to operate independently or as part of a larger network. These drones would be India's eyes and ears in the sky, and they would provide the intelligence needed to make strategic decisions.

After the meeting, Surya retreated to his private workshop, a space where he often worked on his own inventions. He was a man of science, and his knowledge of future technologies gave him a unique advantage. He had seen the evolution of battery technology firsthand, and though he couldn't replicate everything he knew, he could certainly lay the groundwork.

He began sketching designs for a new type of battery—a lithium-ion cell that could be produced with the materials available in 1948. It wouldn't be as efficient as the batteries of the future, but it would be a start. He also worked on the design for the drones themselves, focusing on aerodynamics and weight distribution. The drones needed to be light enough to fly long distances but sturdy enough to carry payloads and withstand harsh conditions.

Over the next week, Surya worked tirelessly, often spending long hours in the workshop, refining his designs and testing prototypes.

One evening, as Surya was reviewing the latest test results for the UAV project, he received a report from the intelligence team. Tensions with Pakistan were rising, and there is even rumours that Pakistanis military buildup along the northern border. The threat was becoming more real by the day.

Surya leaned back in his chair, staring at the map of India on the wall. The country was vast, and its borders were vulnerable. Pakistan to the west, China to the north—both nations posed a significant threat to India's security. Surya knew that India's current military capabilities were insufficient to handle a two-front war. The country needed to be stronger, more resilient, and better equipped.

That's when the idea hit him. It wasn't enough to just develop drones and batteries. India needed a comprehensive intelligence network—a system that could monitor enemy movements, gather data, and relay information in real-time. Surveillance technology would be key to this, and drones would play a crucial role. But beyond that, India needed a way to stay ahead of its enemies, to anticipate their moves before they happened.

Surya called for another meeting, this time with his intelligence and communications teams. He explained his vision for a nationwide surveillance network, powered by UAVs, radar systems, and advanced communications technology. The goal was to create a system that could track movements along the borders, detect threats early, and provide the military with the information needed to respond quickly and effectively.

Surya said, his voice filled with determination. "This is about creating a defense system that will protect India from any threat, internal or external. We need to be proactive, not reactive. We need to know what our enemies are planning before they act."

The team listened intently, taking notes and asking questions. Surya's vision was ambitious, but they knew it was necessary.

In the months that followed, the base became a hive of activity. Engineers worked around the clock on the UAV prototypes, refining the designs and testing the battery systems. The communications team developed new radio systems and began experimenting with early radar technology. Surya personally oversaw the training of personnel in the operation and maintenance of the drones, ensuring that the knowledge was passed on to future generations.

By the end of the August, the first UAV prototypes were ready for field testing. Surya stood on the edge of the testing field, watching as the drones took to the sky. They were small, sleek, and agile—exactly as he had envisioned. As they soared through the air, Surya felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. This was just the beginning.

Surya had no intention of stopping here. The development of UAVs and battery technology was just the first step in a much larger plan—a plan that would ensure India's security and position it as a global power in the years to come.

As the drones flew overhead, Surya couldn't help but think of the future.

And in that moment, Surya knew that he was on the right path. The path to a stronger, more secure India.
