Chapter 179 Touring the Warehouse
Afterpleting the basic structure of the underground building, the machines started printing the walls, however, this time they were joined by a new batch of simr machines as they helped in the construction of the building much faster. But, the batch of these new machines wasn''t all there for the construction of the walls. Instead, some of them went to the massive square holes that were left by the previous machines while they were printing the rest of the building, each of these holes was more than twenty meters in length from all sides and had a number of over fifty.
These holes were strategically ced in simr positions in all of the printed floors, indicating that they were left there for a purpose and these new machines immediately started to aplish their purpose as they started printing what appeared like electromaic rail beams that were being ced in the four corners of the squares, extending directly from the topmost to the lowermost floor of the building and while these rail beams were being printed they were also fused with the printed floor, making sure they werepletely secured, not falling out of its designated position unless the whole building were to fall with it.
For those who might have watched the ongoing construction a little bit, they would have immediately realized that these square holes left behind were nothing but elevator shafts and those railgun beams were what will be used to move the elevator, capable of carrying any heavy loads, no matter how much weight they carried, as long as electricity was provided to raise the elevator, removing the need to put a weight limit on them since this building was supposed to be housing many machines in the future which would be quite a problem if it had elevator wasn''t capable of carrying weights exceeding a certain weight limits.
Now, with the new machines assisting in the printraction of the new and massive building, the construction of the five more floors at the top was immediately taken care of in a matter of hours, leaving behind a colossal building project that had a total of eight floors, three underground and five floors on the top, waspleted in a day, which would have taken humans a year or more for itspletion.
The building''s size itself was intimidating, but the emptiness on its inside was scarier since the machines had only printed the shell of the building, leaving behind all the interiors and all the necessities to be aplished by another batch of machines, after that the whole building will have all the necessities and would beplete and operational ready within a week, and this in itself was an unimaginable feat.

Meanwhile, back to Aron and John.
John now found himself being bombarded with vast amounts of information as if there was no tomorrow just a few moments before the headgearputer immediately filtered all of them and only disyed the information for the things that John was directly looking at.
His eyesid on the cab of weapons he had used before hade from with their stats appearing in front of his face and now that the headgear was allowed ess to the server of the warehouse, the information was now even more detailed than what it previously was.

He was surprised to see all of this enhanced amount of information that the headgear could now ess thanks to the new credential that allowed him to ess all of the new information..
He then moved his head to the next rack which had handguns that had a make style simr to the previous guns, wasting no time the system responded and disyed its information.

And holy shit, the handgun version of the model did not disappoint him at all since it was packingparatively more firepower than any conventional rifles used by any other country''s military.
The standoff distance of this handgun was almost the same distance as any enemy weapon''s maximum firing range.
(Standoff distance refers to a weapon''s ability to outrange the enemy''s weapon. )
Aron continued to demonstrate the other weapons avable in the warehouse. With John wearing the headgear, the process of introducing him to the various weapons became much faster and more efficient.
"As for that," Aron said, pointing at a shelf with different-looking bombs thatcked boosters behind them, "that is what they call the ''That Direction Remover.'' It''s responsible for removing the original direction it''s sent towards, and you''ve already seen it in action, albeit in its weakened version."
"Regarding the boosters for it," Aron exined, gesturing towards a rack disying different sizes of boosters, "they are inserted after the mission is already nned. There are three types of boosters: long-range, medium-range, and short-range. These boosters enhance the capabilities of the ''Direction Remover'' bombs depending on the specific mission requirements."
"Is this the bomb dropped by the fighter jet?" John inquired, his eyes scanning the details of the various-looking bombs on the shelf shown to him by the headgear, all bearing the same name but distinguished by different numbers at the end.

"Yes, that was the weakest version," Aron replied, providing further exnation. "Its setting was to explode at a time when it would cause the most damage to the designated targets. In that instance, it was the soldiers who survived the initial attack that faced the impact of the explosion." Aron answered and exined.
"By the way, how did the soldiers manage to survive such a concentrated explosion?" John inquired, his curiosity growing even stronger. Having read the bomb''s description, he knew that surviving such an explosion, even in a bunker, seemed improbable without sustaining serious injuries. Moreover, it would require the bunker to have at least twenty-five meters of concrete or granite between them and the st to stand a chance of survival."
