Chapter 31: New Heights of Innovation

August 2274 - Vault 101

Despite the night incident, Victor focused more on his work to keep his mind from thinking about the nightly exercise.

 August found Victor deeply engrossed in his medical studies, occasionally meeting with his friends but gradually abandoning his morning exercise routine. His physical abilities had advanced beyond the need for such exercises, and his focus was now entirely on his research and experiments.

In the hidden section of the vault, Victor 's secret lab had undergone significant upgrades. His terminal had been transformed into a powerful mainframe, equipped with over 200 processors, 15 sound processors, 30 graphics processors, and 50 dedicated data processing chips. The system now boasted 200 terabyte of ROM and RAM, along with an astounding 20,000 terabyte of SSD storage. This setup allowed Victor to run complex simulations and analyze vast amounts of data with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

While working on the mainframe, Victor spoke aloud to AZ, his AI assistant. "AZ, initiate the system diagnostics. I want to make sure everything is running smoothly before we proceed with the new research."

AZ's synthesized voice responded almost instantly. "System diagnostics initiated. All processors are functioning within optimal parameters. No anomalies detected."

Victor nodded, satisfied. "Good. We're going to need this system running at peak efficiency. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."

The completion of his greenhouse marked another milestone. It was now producing a steady stream of essential ingredients—flowers, mushrooms, fungi, fruits, and vegetables—that were crucial for crafting various medical and chemical recipes. Victor had also begun experimenting with new formulas, adding to his growing repertoire.

While examining a freshly harvested batch of Glowing fungi, Victor muttered to himself, "These should be perfect for the new batch of Abraxo cleaner. I've been wanting to refine the formula."

He carefully measured out the ingredients, speaking to AZ as he worked. "AZ, log the new formula for Abraxo Industrial Cleaner: 1 Mutated fern, 2 Glowing fungi, 1 Med-X, and 1 plastic."

"Formula logged," AZ confirmed. "Would you like me to run a simulation on chemical stability?"

Victor smiled, appreciating the AI's thoroughness. "Yes, please. Let's make sure it's as stable as possible before I start mass-producing it."

As the simulation ran, Victor turned his attention to the Auto-Doc Mark III. AZ had thoroughly analyzed the differences between the Auto-Doc Mark II and Mark III models, and with Victor 's guidance, the AI had successfully repaired and upgraded the Mark III unit with new hardware, integrating it seamlessly with the upgraded mainframe.

"AZ," Victor called, examining the Auto-Doc's interface, "run a diagnostic on the Auto-Doc. I want to ensure the new hardware is fully compatible."

"Running diagnostic," AZ replied. After a few moments, it reported, "All systems are green. The Auto-Doc Mark III is fully operational."

Victor leaned back, pleased with the progress. "Perfect. Now, let's start experimenting. We'll begin with something simple—maybe a routine surgery to test the precision of the new tools."

When NIM was up and running AZ uploaded the research materials data, progress report and work plan on the mainframe. Keep it updated.

With the Auto-Doc up and running, Victor was ready to push the boundaries of medical science. The newly upgraded mainframe, now known as NIM (Neural Interface Mainframe..Although it didn't have a neural interface right now it will have in future), it was far more powerful than before, allowing Victor to conduct more extensive and sophisticated experiments. He planned to research advanced technologies such as quantum chips, quantum transmitters, and cold fusion cores.

As Victor reviewed the latest data on quantum chips, he mused aloud,"NIM, look through the quantum chip blueprint, formulate a production plan."

"Calculate the energy efficiency of a quantum chip versus our current setup."

NIM's voice, slightly more advanced than AZ's, responded smoothly. "Quantum chips are projected to be 20000% more efficient, with a 60% reduction in energy loss during data transmission."

Victor 's eyes lit up. "Excellent. This could revolutionize our systems—and solve some of the problems."

He began sketching out designs for the new transmitter, his mind racing with possibilities. "Once we've got the quantum chips in production, the next step will be integrating them into the mainframe. NIM, start running simulations on how the quantum chips will interact with our current hardware."

"Simulations initiated," NIM confirmed.

Victor 's work had reached a new level of complexity and potential. With each passing day, he delved deeper into the mysteries of science and technology, pushing the limits of what was possible within the confines of Vault 101. The future was filled with endless possibilities, and Victor was determined to unlock them all.
