Once my conscious transferred Back to my main body I immediately got to work reclaiming the shrubbery and other miscellaneous items and plants around me in a 3-meter radius. That filled up my Mass Storage to about ¼'s full. I had Just enough Mass to place a metal extractor On the ground near me. Once I finished fabricating it I started to produce a slow yet steady income of mass that was being directly being deposited into my internal storage.
My internal array was going to fill up quickly though so I went back into the unit design And created a small storage unit that I could place Underground. Once I finished that I built the 'small storage unit Mark 1 Underground version'. then Directed my attention towards energy Production.
There wasn't much sunlight on the Forest floor So I had to improvise and climb a tall tree that was nearest to me. I started drilling the solar panels mounting bracket into the tree branches. I then extended the mounting pole a little higher so it could reach above the branches and get the most sunlight possible. I had to fabricate 50 Solar panels To cover the whole entire treetop. After that, I started placing Metal extractors In a large area around me. Once I got most of my economy down I started thinking about unit Design. First off I needed some sort of universal Factory Since I don't know much about this Planet that I was catapulted into.
I decided to go to the Stealthy route. In the unit Design, I started thinking about designs I could use Without getting noticed By anyone or anything. I decided to go to -the underground path. First I needed some stabilization so that nothing will collapse out on my buildings or factories. Once I created a small box with adequate support I added fabricator arms on each side. Then I added a ramp-up to the surface And a Metal hatch So that nothing could get in while it's fabricating. Now that I've created the basics of a base I need a Workforce to support it And that Workforce Would, of course, be robots, Tiny robots, but robots nonetheless.
The reason behind Keeping the robots small Was that first I would have to build a huge economy On my own To support such large bots And second that would be highly noticeable Some degree my size was an Advantage! I thought of what bot style I should design and the first thing that initially came to me was a spider bot Their obvious advantages were the ability to climb Steep Terrain And be quiet while moving. Plus the spider legs that my unit design had were very advanced. My first obvious design To make Would be a construction spider bot.
The creature I made had four legs With three joints And a boxlike body and a camera on the front. The odd thing about this design is that there is a small box on the back Of the spider. Inside of the box were four fabricator arms, Each of them could get damaged easily so I put them inside the container where they could unfold when Constructing. It was as half as tall as me so it was pretty small but it had a very cheap construction cost. The most expensive thing about it Is the back Fabricator arms stored inside of the box.
Next, I made two more Designs One was a scout bot. This was a very interesting design, It was made so I can be shot long distances Into enemy territory with a launcher. It looks like a small Grenade Except it could unfold. The four sides of the grenade-looking object deployed into four legs plus had a camera in the middle, and The resource core to power it. The extra building that came with this Was a Box with a tube sticking out of the top. The Box was a bit more expensive but it was worth it so that they could be manufactured Inside of the box In shot out through the top Into other Territory. In the last design, I made was, of course, A soldier bot It had four legs like all the other bots And it had a rectangle Sticking out the top and two antennas pointed outwards. There is a Camera at the front and on the sides were two Plasma weapons.
After that long session, I decided that nothing else is needed. Once I finished up with the unit designer I started to manufacture five Construction Bots Mark 1s. Once they finished building I sent all five to build two scout Launchers Underground with only the Launcher Barrel Sticking out. At the same time After the construction Bots Finished Building, I was creating 20 Soldier bots. My main strategy was to overwhelm with numbers. Once the soldier Bots Finished constructing I buried My commander body Deep in the ground with a stairway down And on the top there was a hatch.
I started to set up my command center I created a Plug that I could Insert myself into And I would have a 3D view of all my units. Once I was completed I now had complete control Overall of my units. Now decided to make use of my scouting units. I launched one Scout unit To the maximum height And Unfolded it At its peak height. I took a 360-degree photo At that time. Once it fell and smashed back into the ground I started reviewing the photo that it took. I seemed to be inside Of a large Forest But about half a mile away Was what looked like a medieval town. At first, I thought I was transported back in time As I zoomed in I saw Multi-colored blobs in equine shapes. But the problem was that they seemed Like my commander unit Would only reach up to their ‘knees’. As I was musing on how small I was an observation came across my processor. Their society appeared to not have much technology, And the most advanced thing I could see Is a steam train. interesting, very interesting
