BOOM

'Again' I sighed in my head, the idea I had was good but the execution was taking almost as long as it had taken for me to replicate the transmutor and configure it so that I could make almost anything.

Looking at the smoking wreckage I couldn't help but sigh again, I had attained moderate success with my idea but for now it could only fire one shot before the second would destroy it.

It would be perfect for a flintlock or something.

I scoffed at the idea, using something that primitive. For now though I was not going to continue, it would do good for my head to work on some other project, maybe that would clear my head if I succeeded in another area.historical

Done planning I wandered around, leaving my rifle and the smoking mess of a rifle that I had wrecked in testing.

I had no particular aim in mind, all around me were various blueprints and although they were limited to human sized, that did not mean that there weren't some interesting designs.

LIke the one in front of me now, a miniature power core. It was certainly meant to be plugged into something judging by the power cords that flowed off of it.

However it wasn't something that I was interested in, I would memorize the blueprint but I doubt that I would ever use it. Even if I never used it, the principle behind it was magnificent even if the core was wildly inefficient, not in the fact that the energy gathered from it was what was inefficient but that the size limited it to being inefficient.

It was what drew me to it in the first place. It generated antimatter then with the air around it would use the energy generated by the matter and antimatter to create more antimatter. Although it was wildly efficient, the only limiting point of it was the size, this type of energy source would be better suited for large equipment where the core could be hundreds times bigger.

Anyways, I noted the principles behind it and how it was done and moved on.

The next blueprint that caught my eyes was what seemed to be some advanced computer system.

This, this was what I was looking for, something that I could upgrade myself with. The advanced computer was a great find, it was only the size of a fingernail but could process calculations hundreds of times faster than what I could do with my own inbuilt computer.

At least that was what the blueprint detailed, though with how accurate the previous blueprints were to their final products it was likely that this was not false either.

The only downside to this was that its logic programs were shit. All it could do was process calculations, it could not run anything more complicated. It could not even run a single simple game.

But that did not mean that I was not going to integrate this into my own body, only that it would be an accessory, not something that was integrated into my brain but would be integrated into my armor as part of my combat prediction program.

With the blueprint memorized I wandered back to where I was researching the gun that I had failed. Even now after a peaceful walk and renewed creativity I could not help but grimace at my inability to integrate something that seemed so easy.

I soon shook those thoughts out of my head as I started to produce the computer, following the blueprints to the letter.

Soon enough I was left with a tiny computer chip, it seemed like the blueprint lied to me, or was at least incomplete as what I had expected to produce, a computer, turned out to be a computer chip. Something to add onto a creation not a full product.

That did not mean that my plans were changed though, on the contrary they had become even easier.

HISSS

A sound came from my arm as a cooled chip flew into my hand. Comparing the two chips in my hand I ponder on how to integrate them. The only solution that came to mind was to detach the whole computer and tinker with it enough that the chip that I had just created would fit.

With another sigh that seemed to be more and more common, I detach my combat prediction computer and disassemble it.

"This is going to take a while. '' I sigh out again, looking out at the everpresent sun in the sky.

..

I had expected the evolution of Delta to be no different than the ones of Tama, Aoif, or even Melia.

Well Melia was a bit of an outlier but Delta's was just like that, I watched transfixed by the focus that Delta put into her research and although I could not understand most of it, Rhea next to me could.

Again Melia had set the screen up so that she could see however that included Rhea who sat enraptured by the smooth moves of Delta as she again and again took apart her gun, adjusting the settings the tiniest hit only to undo it.

At some point she had even gotten a fresh notebook that by now had been filled with notes and designs.

Looking over her shoulder I could see the hundreds of handwritten bits detailing the processes, what she would do, what she wanted to ask, and most importantly how she would implement it.

I was never one for science but the applications that it gave me would be a good enough reason to start learning.

I knew I could excel if only I put my focus to it, just as I had in learning combat. However I shook those thoughts out of my head. I did not have the luxury to learn.

Right now I could only focus on improving in the things that mattered.

I could only leave Delta and her subordinates to their business in the interests of time.

Maybe another day when we had conquered enough that I actually had free time would I learn.

With that I looked back at the screen, intent on watching Delta's evolution to its end.
