Esmond soon came to learn that the Virtual World was also improved, along with the Virtual Lab as the time dilation changed from an hour rewarding users 5 days within the Virtual World, to 10 days for every 30 minutes.
It was a huge changed but it wasn't something that Esmond noticed till they were working within the Labs.
Tulluan ended up calling a meeting in the new halls and common spaces that were added to the Labs as a result of the upgrade.
He addressed the scientists and users accessing the Labs and asked them to push the boundaries of science and knowledge with the help of the Virtual Labs.
It was an invaluable item many empires wished to employ throughout the research and development department, however it came with dangers that were erased by the Spatial Ark Star World, so Tulluan wanted everyone to get around the Labs.
Tulluan was one to follow through with his own words and created an entire military structure consisting of droids that he improved.
The Thazukraans weren't a fan of fighting with their own hands, preferring to create drones, robots, turrets and other automatic mechanical systems for their safety and warfare, so they were able to adapt their knowledge with what they found in the Labs.
.
In the 30 or so days Esmond and Tulluan were in the Labs, they'd created a military fleet capable to stand up against the modern fleets of the world.
Of course, they were improved measurably with railguns on each ship and smaller versions of the weapon on the Juggernaut droids, which were closely 10 tanks built into one droid.
The military vehicles also got a makeover with automated programs and systems created for everything from cars, tanks, ships, aircrafts, and missiles.
It was a whole lot of work but bringing over their tech from Thazur and then redesigning it wasn't as hard as it seemed, shorting the time it would have taken them otherwise.
Tulluan also allocated teams to work on the space elevator and station.
The Lab that had the two projects open were well designed and engineered in his mind, but it could be improved.
Originally it could house roughly 6 – 7,000 people, though it wouldn't be the cosiest, it was a nice working point.
There was an improved version which Esmond had designed and had Carter begin to create in the Spatial Ark Star World.
Though Esmonds original design schematics offered a living quarter similar to apartments and full-size labs with malls and even a large garden, Tulluan found little space for it to expand and grow.
After that he created a modular schematic system for the space station with an artificial gravity system that could be attuned as they pleased, even created a wrist watched like the bracelet he and Esmond, as another artificial gravity system.
.
Esmond also gave him the project to terraform both Mars and Neptune so they could inhabit the planets and take them before anyone else.
There were plenty of military outposts and bases needed to be created before 2050 and it was easier to have Neptune and Mars ready to live on.
It would also mean some of the inhabitants of the space would be able to create their own lives on these planets and begin laying the foundations of his Empires core.
The Spatial Ark Star World would always be their first home, but he also wanted them to live freely within the Solar System.
Eventually he would showcase the various alien races, but it was the right timing as of now.
.
Once Esmond left the Virtual World with Tulluan, who got to dive into the world from the mancave, for which Esmond had to ask Carter's permission sadly, felt ecstatic to learn about the various opportunities that were afforded to his people.
But he quickly realised that it wasn't just his race but so many others once he arrived at the institute.
Esmond called for Janet, one of the scientists he remembered from the institute and asked her to lead Tulluan around while he went off to his personal lab, he had Carter create for whenever he was around the institution.
Before meeting up with Tulluan again, Esmond hoped back into the Virtual Labs and started work on several new A.Is needed to be made immediately.
Turned out, Carter and the others were it difficult to design the islands.
So, to help them out, Esmond used the base program he'd made before and built Archie, an academic scholar artificial intelligence whose foundation was art of all kinds.
Archie would take over designing the islands and their upkeep.
Part of the administration would be left to it as well, but it wouldn't be alone as Rosie would be asked with designing and adding architecture spirit to the buildings.
Esmond decided to influence her programming with Da Vinci, Beethoven, Picasso and others from human history and that of the Thazukraans so Rosie could work with a wider range of materials to create whatever work necessary.
Scarlett was the third A.I Esmond made in the short time, with Scarletts tasks to manage the residents along with Gabriel but checking out for emergencies and other incidents in and around the islands.
Esmond decided he would have them all upgraded once he had enough credits but it required him to enter the Retail Market for which he had little time right now so he created his last A.I, Maverick whose job would be similar to Eddie thought it would be in the Retail Market.
Maverick was left in charge of exploring the Retail Market and understand how the Stock Exchange worked so they could begin their own operations.
Esmond wanted Eddie to show Maverick the ropes first before sending it off, but he understood the importance of recycled materials and made that Mavericks main goal to create a market connection.
If there was enough time, Esmond would go out and sort everything himself, but he didn't have the time right now.
.
They were all sent to the A.I World to train for a little time before they started working with Carter giving the last confirmation.
Even after all this work, after leaving the Virtual World once more, Esmond didn't feel tired and with Tullan busy, he thought about touring Thazur and called for Carter to come to his side.
As they entered the capital of Thazur, Azira Planetary Captial, they noticed the wide-open roads and massive skyscrapers that reached into the lower stratosphere.
That was until the planet merged with 12 other planets and became this goliath planet which continued to operate as before because of the powers of the Spatial Ark Star World, but it didn't stop people questioning everything as they were a very scientific race.
Some people recognised Esmond and came over to greet him once Nighmora and the other Thazukraans sent out his information and image to the public.
There were those who were sceptical about it all but seeing whole food that wasn't reprocessed into pastes or nutrition packs that tasted bland, changed many minds.
Just communicating with the few residents that already inhabited the Second city were more than informative about the place and what it offered them.
Nedric, the hooded commander with dark brunette and sapphire eyes, also came out from the shadows and tried to recruit as many people as possible for the Shadow Intelligence Agency.
Because he came from the Xoplis Empire and from a time as Esmond lived in, Nedric knew a great deal about the Thazukraans and what they were capable of.
He actually wanted them to create clones but learnt from Esmond, Tulluan had tasked the project to a scientist named Snow who was the head of their cloning projects.
Esmond had also tasked Snow with figuring out the Hitman cloning tech, so they could utilise them as soon as possible.
The Second City and even the First City, with Carter's approval, was running amok with Thazukraans coming down from their home planet to see what the place had to offer but also the previous residents were travelling every all over and to Thazur as well.
It was quite the busy time around within the Spatial Ark Star World.
…
..
.
The two continued travelling around Thazur, seeing the open city designs, with the cooperation of nature throughout their cities and towns.
It was quite the magical sight to see.
Esmond took note to add this to Archies database as it was necessary for it to understand the value of such design and construction and incorporate it into the layouts of the islands.
Even though they all had a partial amount of work already done on the islands, Esmond didn't expect it to be long before Archie built the most magnificent cities and towns that would be the start of their empire.
When asked for a portion of the design of Diorado, Archie thought about lining part of the inner city in the Capital with roads made from white gold.
There would be a palace on each island which would be the main house of the Royal family whenever they would visit them, and each would be designed in respect to the aesthetic of the city.
Esmond approved and let him continue with Rosie helping to develop the cultural theme for each and the kingdom altogether.
Rosie was taking information from human history, those of the various races within the Spatial Ark Star World, including the Thazukraans who'd just arrived.
With most of their history already uploaded to their servers, it was easy for Rosie to obtain but it still required Rosie sometime in the A.I World before it could make final decision on the matter.
.
Eventually, Esmond returned home and thought about relaxing as he turned on the Xbox to play Assassins Creed for a little while with Carter assuring him that he would be ready to help out.
Esmond had the right robes, a sword, and some armour created that used nano and biotech that could change form as needed.
There was no guarantee Esmond might receive anything worthwhile, but he believed it would be a nice change from the current mayhem in the space.
After Assassins Creed, he planned to check out Mass Effect and Halo, even asking Eddie to purchase all sorts of media from books, comics, films, video games and so on for everyone in the space but for him to access and use.
Esmond hadn't checked to see if his Spectral Consciousness worked on media beside films and videos games, but he was excited to test out the Skulduggery Pleasant book that he was gifted for Christmas in 2007.
He loved the type of magic power system and gods included in the story, fascinated by the characters, and setting, but Esmond knew first off, he had to go to Hogwarts.
As the game was selected and the Assassin symbol showed up as the game loaded, Esmond activated his Spectral Consciousness ability once he started a new game.
