Chapter 121: Drawing An Architectural Plan, Meeting With The Construction Company
The next morning started early for Silas, as it's the day that he finally start putting his plans into action.
"LUNAR, send an email to Venequip, S.a. Tell them that we want to hire their services for the construction of a bank building and ask them if they can do it." Silas said to LUNAR, immediately after he woke up and saw the message from Mr Yusmairobis.
After he did that, he walked into the penthouse's bathroom to freshen up and prepare for the day.
With the way he planned the day, Silas knew that it's going to be very busy and he wants to get himself ready for it.
After he was done freshening, Silas ate the the breakfast that LUNAR had already pre-ordered for him.
After he was done eating, Silas was about to start drawing a rough architectural plan for the bank building he wants to build.
The architectural plan he's drawing is more like a draft and blueprint to follow when the actual architectural plan is going to be drawn. In other words, it's a guide for Silas when be wants to draw the actual architectural plan.
"LUNAR, can you get me a real-time aerial view of the location that Mr Yusmairobis gave us? Map it out accurately and give me every single details on it," Silas said, and LUNAR nodded in response before walking towards the penthouse suite's door that opens to its balcony.
Standing on the balcony, LUNAR climbed onto the balcony handrails and jumped down.
Silas saw LUNAR's action and smiled. He knew what she wants to do and he was curious to see the result.
The next moment, still seated where he was, Silas saw her flying back up, floating in front of the balcony.
Silas smiled when he saw this. This is the first time he's seeing LUNAR using the MAU's flight ability but he wasn't sure if LUNAR had used it before.
"LUNAR, is this the first time you're using its flight ability?" Silas asked, and LUNAR nodded in response.
"LUNAR, send me the MAU's schematics." Silas as curious to see what allows it to fly and how it's done.
From what he can see, there's no indication or sight of the said repulsors which is the device that gives the MAU its flight ability, its thrust mechanism.
LUNAR nodded and sent the schematics before she flew away to get the information of the area where the bank will be built.
After he received the schematic, using the Gear's AR mode function, Silas displayed a full-size MAU schematic in front of him.
Silas stood up and walked around the schematic, as he looked for the location of the repulsors. Since it's in AR mode, Silas can control how it's displayed as he likes.
It took him a while but he saw a series of miniature vents along the MAU's calves and a hole under on the sole of each its feet.
He curiously tapped on the series of small vents and the holes, expanding them to see what's behind them.
Behind the holes and small vents, Silas something that looks exactly like the repulsors he knew.
Series of small repulsors were located behind the small vents along the calves, and behind the hole on the sole of each foot, was a bigger repulsor.
"Nice engineering. I guess the smaller repulsors are for short flights, and the bigger ones are for extended or high-speed flights," Silas said to himself, thoughtfully.
While he waited for LUNAR to get the information he asked of her, he took his time to study the MAU's schematic as much as he can.
"This looks amazing. I wonder how long it would take me to build it?" Silas thought to himself, and he shook his head at the impossibility of his thoughts becoming reality.
"It would be easier if I get a free pass for the MAU. Yes, that would be better," He said to himself with a nod.
It took a few minutes before he finally got a message from LUNAR, containing the information he needed.
When he got the message, he decided to put what he was doing on hold, and go back to what he initially wanted to do.
Silas went through the information LUNAR sent to him and used it as a guide, as he drafted up a rough architectural plan.
Few minutes later, he was done drafting up the architectural plan he wanted to and was now drawing the real architectural plan for the banks building, using the Gear's AR mode and the smartwatch holographic imaging function.
As he drew the plan, he constructed an holographic image of it in front of him.
The reason why Silas is drawing the architectural plan himself is because he wants to personally design the building. This is also one of the reasons he chose a construction company based in Venezuela, instead of using any world-renowed construction company.
Silas intends to build a massive bank that will serve his future business empire and since he has the money, he wants it to be grand and built to his taste.
Though it's called a bank, Silas actually intends to use it for himself and his business.
The question is how is Silas able to draw an architectural plan when he's not a licensed architect? The reason for this is because of the knowledge he absorbed.
The file sent by LUNAR contained knowledge on every subjects and topics, and after he absorbed it, he got knowledge on all of them. This is the reason he's able to draw a very accurate and functional architectural plan that took all things involved, into consideration.
It took him almost half the whole day before he was finally done drawing the architectural plan.
In front of him stood a holographic image of a massive structural edifice.
Silas nodded in satisfaction when he saw the holographic image of the bank building he plans to build.
With the help of the smartwatch's holographic imaging function, Silas was able to eliminate any errors in the drawing, therefore producing a perfect architectural plan.
The building's has a total of 120 floors, standing at a height of over 500 meters. The building taking inspiration from the design of the Burj Kalifa, had the same design, making it to look like a somewhat miniature version of it.
"LUNAR, what do you think?" Silas asked LUNAR who had returned, and was now sitting on a sofa beside him.
{It looks... normal.}
"... That's not what I meant. I was asking if it's beautiful or not?" Silas replied, as he facepalmed.
He felt that LUNAR emotional intelligence hasn't improved since her creation.
{If you're asking if it looks beautiful by how normal the design looks and how it's a exact copy of the tallest building in the world, making it look like a miniature of it, then yes.
Although I understand the reason behind you wanting to create a bank, I don't understand why you're drawing the architectural plan yourself, when you can get a professional architect to draw it for you.} LUNAR said.
Silas was surprised when he heard what LUNAR said.
"What do you mean normal and miniature? Even though it's a miniature of it, I think I did a good job designing it. Also, the reason why I decided to draw the architectural design myself is because I wanted to make use of the knowledge and skills I have," Silas replied, feeling very mentally exhausted.
{A good excuse but still not enough reason for why you wasted half the day doing nothing. You have a lot of things you want to accomplish but you don't want to manage your time properly and get things done quickly.}
Silas rubbed his temple when he heard what LUNAR said.
"Ughh... You're behaving like a mother," Silas said and sighed, before asking "Fine. Have you gotten a response from the construction company?"
{Yes. When you were playing around, I got a message from them.}
Silas couldn't help but look at LUNAR strangely when he heard her response.
"What's with he sudden change in your personality? Where's my sweet LUNAR?"
{I'm still your sweet LUNAR but as your personal assistant, I must make sure that you don't lose sight of your goals and ambitions.}
"It still doesn't explain your sudden change in personality. You're behaving like a woman, like a.... wife?" Silas said to himself, and looked at LUNAR scrutinously, like he was trying to figure something out.
After looking at her for a few moments, he sighed and walked to the bed, and sat down.
"Fine. What's the response of the construction company?" He asked with a tired voice.
{They agreed to it. They want to know when they can set up a meeting with you, to discuss things.}
"Tell them today. You will be the one representing me, and also take the architectural plan I drew when you're going." Silas said, and LUNAR nodded.
{I have already sent a reply to the email they sent, and I will be leaving for the meeting.} LUNAR said and stood, before she left the penthouse suite and walked towards its elevator
Silas saw LUNAR leaving and smiled.
'I'm not going to lose sight of my goals, LUNAR. I'm just taking my time as I'm not in a rush."
