Chapter 69: 069 Shadow Moon X

Arc has been watching the movements of the Shadow Units according to Eve they will be ready in two days almost the same time the Army will arrive in Enigma City.

"Well we already waited for one and half years it is no big deal waiting for another two days," Arc said to Eve.

Arc look at the spreadsheet details of Grand Trading Corp. Over the past year and a half Grand Trading Corp. Has releases a number of new products.

The Taste replicator machine is a big hit on earth as well as in space HFA and GFA bought a lot of it, the machine was capable of replicating all kinds of pre-program food taste and incorporate it in the solution. It is compatible with all solutions released by Grand Trading Corp.

The Taste Replicator Machine becomes an instant hit the moment it was released in the market, GFA pre-ordered 1 million of them in advance. HFA also pre-ordered 100k of them.

They also released a new drink called G Energy Drinks that will quickly replenish stamina and body fluids, G multivitamins were also released which contains all the vitamins a body needs and was good at maintaining one's body.

It is a good alternative to solutions that are quite pricey. At first, both the energy drinks and multivitamins are not accepted well but as people began to realize the difference in quality compared to other brands as well as the price difference it quickly becomes a favorite especially the energy drinks for many athletes...

Grand trading also releases several types of new electronics under Grand Tech Corp.

GM alpha II has also been released an upgraded version of GM Alpha it boasts a 2x boost of capability compared to the old model, several other electronic devices were also released by Grand Tech Corp. But the biggest release is the Full dive VR which becomes the biggest hit even toppling the sales of food solutions, it's not like the VR technology is not available in the world but VR tech was mainly used for military application and was never released for commercial used one reason is that HFA, and the rest of superpower in space didn't see the need to release it on earth.

Because for them it was just a waste of materials as it needs a fairly large amount of rare metals, and because they didn't really care about the currency from earth as it holds no value for them in space. So the earth was deprived of Full Dive VR Technology...

But the multi-purpose manufacturing factory can easily create a rank 2.5 VR Technology which only uses common materials and has an 80% realism, Originally Arc plans to Create a Rank 3 VR Technology with 92% realism but it required some rare metals and although it didn't require much, but if multiplied by millions it becomes a large number of rare materials, so he settles in 2.5 rank which is the same level as VR used by military in space.

Originally Human superpower in space didn't need a VR tech as Virtual Universe offers a much better technology with almost 99.9% realism and offers many services. The only problem is that it requires Bright Stone Credit or BSC in order to avail its services if only a few soldiers are going to use it, it won't be a problem but in order to support millions if not hundreds of millions soldiers the amount of BSC it requires is too much for any superpower to afford as BSC credit is a very important resource for any human superpower in space, so even though a superior version of VR is available they still using VR version developed by humans which have 70% realism. as even though it's in the same level of technology the one produced by the factory System has better quality.

So when Grand Tech Corp. Announce the releases of VR tech on earth the whole world celebrated...

In order to cope with all the production Arc build two more multi-purpose manufacturing factory. Two was dedicated to producing Solutions and one for many other things.

He also builds a Rank 5 military Weapon Factory, and rank 5 Military Armor Factory, and Rank 5 military heavy machine Factory, as well as a number of medium and small Energy Gathering Factory to increase his Energy Unit Accumulation.

Arc originally plans to buy another 1-star rank mobile phone with AI like Eve but apparently, it's a limited stock and only one can be bought once,

so he settles with a rank 5 supercomputers with Rank 5 AI to support the VR technology.

Two VRMMORPG was released at the same time one was a Futuristic VRMMORPG called Space Frontier Odyssey where you can choose to be either a ship pilot, ship commander or Mecha Pilot and many others. The other is a classic Sword and Magic style VRMMORPG called Lost Saga.

Both Games have different settings so people can choose what they preferred to play...

On the day it was announced the number of pre-ordered VR helmet reaches more than 100 million in just 1 hours. And the number of pre-orders reaches a staggering number of 1.2 billion in just 1 week even Arc was dumbfounded by the result much less the media.

The lines of people trying to buy the VR helmet in Grand Trading Exclusive store was too much that it caused widespread traffic in every city across the world but the thing is nobody is complaining every media across the world are all reporting the same thing the news even reach the space people can be seen camping while lining up in front of Grand Trading Exclusive Stores.

Some are even there a week before the actual launched date, and instead of being annoyed for waiting too long it becomes like a festival where people can be seen performing near the Grand Exclusive Store many aspiring artists used this chance to displayed their crafts, and talents, and many celebrities was born on that day...

On the released day of the VRMMORPG, the people online are almost 2 billion that is more than half the population on earth Arc was forced to build 10 Rank 5 supercomputers to ensure the flawless run of VR games as well as many of its applications.

Many are expecting Lag or error because of the number of people who went online at the same time but to everyone surprised not only there was no lag there was no error reported either even the technical support team hired by Grand Tech Corp. Who was expecting a huge number of complaints because they predicted lag, and errors didn't receive any calls of complaints, instead they receive many calls of gratitude from many callers. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the situations...

Of course, in order to not be suspicious Dianna create a huge technical team to handle the events, and promotion in the game. Countless expert was recruited. Of course, they weren't just for show they are responsible for the future game updates, and events as well as creating new apps suitable for VR technology in the future.
