July 2274 - August 2274
The next two months were a period of relentless focus for Victor as he pushed forward with his ambitious projects. While the medical department basked in the success of the Auto-Doc, Victor 's mind was already several steps ahead, buried deep in his secret lab.
Az, the AI Victor had been meticulously developing, was becoming more integral to his work. The chip production had been a major success, with Victor now moving forward to create relevant boards and ports for mounting these chips. With each passing day, Az's capabilities grew, making the AI a more sophisticated and reliable assistant.
With Az's assistance, Victor upgraded his mechanical workbench and chemistry station, increasing their precision and efficiency. The new upgrades allowed Victor to have better control over the materials he used and the AI functionalities that governed the systems. He had no intention of upgrading his Pip-Boy just yet, preferring instead to pour his resources into enhancing Az.
The upgrades were substantial: Victor equipped Az with a hub board of 18 processors, dedicating 6 of them to sound processors and 10 to video processors . He also loaded Az with an impressive 10 terabyte of RAM and ROM, along with a 100-terabyte SSD(combined). This massive increase in processing power and storage meant that Az could now directly connect with the lab's terminals, the upgraded workbench, and the chemistry station via Wi-Fi, enabling seamless coordination and control.
With Az now fully operational and bug-free, Victor set the AI to work on building an additional workbench and chemistry station. He also planned for the construction of a greenhouse in Hall 2, a dedicated space for growing the ingredients he needed for the advanced recipes he had recently mastered. The greenhouse would allow him to maintain a steady supply of the rare plants and fungi essential for his chem creations.
But Victor wasn't finished yet. With the diagnostic reports he had gathered from the Auto-Doc, he directed Az to allocate time for constructing a personal Auto-Doc, utilizing parts from the Mark 2 and Mark 3 models left in storage. This personal unit would be Victor 's backup, a vital tool in case he ever needed urgent medical care that he couldn't trust others to provide.
As Victor 's projects advanced, he realized that a transmitter would significantly enhance his lab's functionality. With a reliable transmitter, he could operate and monitor his lab remotely, issuing commands to Az without the need for frequent visits to the secret lab. This led him to consider quantum processors—an ambitious leap in technology that could solve his problem.
Quantum processors would allow Az to process data at unimaginable speeds, essentially future-proofing the AI and the entire lab setup. However, creating these processors would require rare materials and advanced knowledge that Victor was still acquiring. He began researching quantum mechanics and micro-fabrication techniques, slowly piecing together the information he needed to bring this vision to life.
