Doomsday Code

Chapter 72: Implementing and Adapting the Ancient Tech



With the remarkable breakthroughs in the ancient technology, the alliance wasted no time in moving forward with implementing and adapting it to benefit all their communities.Powering the Settlements

The engineers focused first on integrating the replicated energy system into the power grids of the settlements. They worked on constructing larger-scale versions of the energy-generating sections, carefully following the design principles they had deciphered from the underground chambers.

Teams were dispatched to each settlement to oversee the installation process. They dug trenches to lay the conduits that would carry the mysterious energy-carrying compound, ensuring that it was properly insulated and protected from the elements. The synthetic crystals were installed in central hubs within each settlement, creating a network of energy nodes that could distribute power to homes, workshops, and essential facilities.

The impact was immediate. The settlements that had previously struggled with power shortages or unreliable energy sources now had a stable and efficient supply. Lights burned brighter and longer, and the machinery in the workshops hummed with increased productivity. The water purification systems ran smoothly, providing cleaner water for everyone, and the medical facilities were able to operate advanced equipment without worrying about power failures.Boosting Agricultural Production

In the agricultural areas, the farmers expanded the use of the energy fields around their crops. They worked with the engineers to create a modular system of energy emitters that could be easily placed and adjusted in the fields.

The enhanced growth and resilience of the plants continued to amaze. Crops that had once been difficult to cultivate in the harsh post-apocalyptic climate now thrived. The increased yields meant that food shortages became a thing of the past, and the communities were able to build up reserves for times of need.

The botanists further studied the effects of the energy fields on different plant species. They experimented with new combinations of crops, introducing varieties that had previously been too delicate to grow. This diversification not only provided a more varied diet for the communities but also strengthened the overall agricultural ecosystem.Upgrading Communication and Defense

The improved communication devices, thanks to the energy field's influence, were distributed throughout the alliance's territories. Lookout posts were equipped with the enhanced long-range transmitters, allowing for even more effective surveillance and early warning of any potential threats.

The defense forces also benefited from the ancient technology. The energy fields were incorporated into the design of the barricades and weaponry. The barricades became more resilient, able to withstand greater impacts from attacks, while the weapons were enhanced, with some developing a newfound ability to fire with increased power and accuracy.Overcoming Challenges

However, implementing the ancient tech on a larger scale wasn't without its difficulties. The demand for the unique materials needed to create the energy systems and crystals far exceeded the supply. Expeditions to search for more resources were met with mixed results. Some areas that were thought to hold deposits of the necessary compounds turned out to be depleted or difficult to access.

The manufacturing process of the synthetic crystals also faced setbacks. The quality control was a constant struggle, as even slight variations in the crystal structure could affect the performance of the entire energy system. The alliance's scientists and craftsmen worked together to develop more precise manufacturing methods, investing time in training and research.

There were also concerns about the long-term effects of relying so heavily on this ancient technology. Some worried that if something were to go wrong with the energy systems, it could leave the communities in a vulnerable state. To address this, backup power sources were maintained and upgraded, and emergency plans were developed to quickly restore basic services in case of a system failure.

Despite these challenges, the alliance remained committed to adapting and making the most of the ancient technology. They saw it as a crucial step in building a more prosperous and secure future for themselves and were determined to overcome any obstacles that came their way.
