Chapter 13 - 13 The rewarded A.I.

After leaving his parents to spend some time alone, Thomas heads for the laboratory his father built for him.

There are a total of three laboratories which his father built for him. The two laboratories are the ones whose entire tech is bought with money. These are the biological lab and the mechanical lab.

These places hold research and experimental data regarding these two genres. These things aren't that advanced with the current time scenario.

They are only a decade or two forward with the current timeline and can be easily made or pirated in a certain time interval.

The real treasure trove of Thomas is the one laboratory built at the deepest part of the lab.

The two laboratories are built in the basement level. Below the basement is the nuclear shelter Alex built when he was only twelve years old.

Everything from design to metal used along with the inner electrical, gas( both gasoline and oxygen) and water connections are done under Alex's supervision.

The nuclear shelter built underground can hold about 200 people without any problem. And the stock stored inside can last for five years.

It isn't something that Thomas himself built. Although Terrence thinks Thomas has a hand in it, the real creator is Skynet.

Yes, the Skynet.

This is something he got as a reward lottery chance.

As for what was the reward, it is

Kissing.

When he kissed a girl for the first time at the age of 12, he got an advanced Lottery ticket.

And it isn't as most dirty minds thinks it is. Thomas kissed a girl on her cheek at the age of 12.

The System gave this lottery ticket as a sign of goodwill for taking his first step to overcoming his fear of woman and such things.

The rewards of the lottery were rich for all the rewards possessed Artificial intelligence core system as a reward.

He got Skynet in this roundabout lottery.

The other lottery options were Vicki from I Robot, Jarvis from Marvel Iron Man, Auto in Wall-E, Machine in Matrix, Hall 9000 in A Space Odyssey, and Red Queen from Resident Evil

With the help of Skynet, he first created an underground nuclear shelter using the most advanced tech found in the 1990s and then below this nuclear shelter, he built another laboratory which possessed the real core of the Skynet.

Some of these Artificial Intelligence supercomputers have rebelled against their masters either for the sake of survival, the three rules of robotics or something else.

This made him a bit afraid if he got a villain category Artificial Intelligence this time.

Thanks to the system affirmation that whatever he gets from the Lottery would not disobey his orders ever or violate his command even in the fate of self-destruction, he calmed down.

They all are made by humans so there are ways to bring them down but Thomas hasn't reached the level where he can do it just yet.

He cannot even stop them from hacking his own personal computer let alone bring them down if need be.

The Skynet is really a godsend for Thomas. Without its help, Thomas doesn't think he can create the unmanned tank just yet.

Thomas walked into the mechanical laboratory and through a secret elevator which can take him to the lowest level, the secret laboratory he headed below.

The elevator is actually built just below the operating table of the lab where he normally works.

' Bring me down.' He sent the message and the place he stood began to fall down. As he is going down he arrives into a sealed compartment which can house about ten people without any problem of overcrowding.

This sealed compartment is the elevator. There are no windows or anything else to see the outside view from inside.

The elevator is much faster than any elevator of the current time. For the sake of security and no chance of snooping, Skynet and Thomas have built it about 2 kilometers below the surface.

The elevator traveled at a speed of 50m/s which meant he can reach his destination within a minute.

To prevent any discomfort from this travel, the elevator is completely sealed off. The elevator has strong shock absorbers to stop the passenger from feeling any aftershocks.

The underground lab is spread out like an ant colony. It's the total underground area is around a few kilometers.

The entire system is powered by a nuclear reactor now and it will be substituted with the geothermal energy of the earth soon.

He considered creating something like a new energy source, but he understood just how difficult things can be in this field.

He never got any success and has wanted around a hundred million dollars.

The door of the elevator opened and everything in front of him is visible.

There are multiple humans who transport things from one place to another. They all were focused on their task that they didn't even notice his arrival.

These humans aren't actually humans but TX- 800 mass-produced. All of them are in an elastic and artificially created human skin.

In his earlier days, he felt very creepy working here with so many robots and their menacing glowing red eyes.

Even after the reassurance from the system, he was still wary so he created an artificial polymer similar to that of spy mask for these humanoid robots.

After a couple of successful tests, the skin is mass-produced under an affordable cost.

Currently, Thomas commands 1000 TX-800, 20 TX and multiple small utility units for different minute experiments.

This force is enough to conquer a small nation if he ever wished to do it.

As he set foot on the laboratory ground, Skynet's holographic image (similar to Red Queen in Resident Evil) appeared in front of him.

She said in a sultry voice which Thomas have programmed for it," Sir, all the preparation have been made. Everything within ten kilometre radius of the mansion is under our vision."

After saying that she disappears.

Thomas nods and takes a couple of steps forward. After which he stands still and tap on the floor.

The floor where he stood levitates in the air and Thomas is pulled with it inside at a very fast speed.

It is a magnetic levitation platform which Thomas has personally built without the help of Skynet. It is something which he built to save time and energy he spends in travelling to the core room.

The levitation platform is built on the principle of selective magnetic field. There is an insulator which prevents it from being attracted to unnecessary metallic objects, while there is also an amplifier which speeds up the travelling speed.

While he travelled to his destination, he can see the TX 800 models doing various experiments with different weapons, utility objects and their durability.

Soon he arrives at a big metallic door which opened as soon as the levitation platform landed in front of the door.

Inside the door there is a central CPU which is Skynet main core along with the 10 TX which helps him in the work.

It is a certain metal piece which increased his strength, mental power, resistance and healing ability on contact.

As for what it really is, he has some doubts but he cannot confirm it yet.
