Chapter 123: Storm!

Editors and Proof Reader: Alterious, Dervish, King of Mortals, garantiertnicht

It was a normal morning for fans of the "Evos" company. Many would regularly check the website of the company to see if there were any new products available or the company had released any new updates for the game or their translation software. 

For the past month, the website remained the same, without publishing any kind of news or updates. 

This morning, as many clicked on the website like usual, they noticed that something was different about the website. 

There was a new section on the upper left corner of the website. There was an additional option there and it read. 

[RL Simulator]

Many clicked on it, and it took them to a download page that showed a massive file to be downloaded. The file had a size of more than 400Gb. 

Besides the download button with the size of the file on it, there was another button with "About" written on it. 

Clicking on that, it took them to the information page that explained all about the RL Simulator. 

Again for many, it was nothing but nonsense as they could not understand the technical terms written there. 

Inside a well-furnished office, a man was sitting in front of a computer while typing something on the keyboard. On the screen, there was 3D software opened, and that man was trying to add some formulas to the system to get the expected result from it. 

While he was busy, one of his coworkers suddenly came to him and whispered something near his ear. The man stopped whatever he was doing and looked at his coworkers with confused and suspicious eyes. He put down the documents in his hand and questioned with an uncertain voice.

"Are you sure about that? I mean, have you verified it? It's not that I don't trust you, but I can't believe that an unknown company could crack these problems." though he said this to his coworker, he could hide his excitement. 

Kane Flin was a computer scientist who had a double Ph.D. in computer science and physics. His work focused on creating 3D software that could simulate real-life problems and effects. For Kane, it was not work but a passion. He wanted to create a 3D software that could simulate everything in real life, but that was easier said than done. It was not just adding physics formulas to the system and then expecting it to deliver the results. They had to optimize the system and formulas little by little until it gives the expected outcome. While trying to create a system like this, the fundamental problem was to make sure that every formula added to the system does not conflict with others. 

He spent years trying to solve these problems and now his coworker told him that some small game company had released software that was able to do just that. 

Following his coworker, Kane came to a room that had a giant screen on the wall. He sat down on a chair right next to the wall and looked at the screen with eagle eyes. 

On the screen, some document was being shown, and Kane read it eagerly. As he read it, his breath became unstable, and he clenched his fists. 

"I want to try this software. Have you downloaded the file?" Kane asked as he looked at the technician who was operating the computer.

"Yes, Mr. Kane. We have downloaded the software, and I am currently installing it on a virtual machine. Because we don't know if this software is harmful or not, we can't afford to take risks."

Kane nodded and waited patiently while reading the document again. 

'Simulate everything from a dust particle to the molecules in the air. I don't know if they are just making bold claims or it's true. If it's true, then I am afraid an immense wave is coming. This software touches the interests of many and I am afraid they won't stay still.' Kane muttered to himself as he looked at the progress bar of software being installed.

After a while, the software finished installing, and after scanning and making sure that there was nothing wrong with the system, the technician opened it. 

When they opened it, a small fireball-shaped cartoon appeared on the screen and started to guide them. It asked them to choose the interface type. They could choose any of the existing 3D software interfaces so that it could become easy for them to interact with the software. 

Kane patiently went through the tutorial and then after understanding everything, he started to operate the system.

After spending more than 3 hours, they created a scenario according to real life and then ran the simulation. When he ran the simulation a pop-up appeared on the system. 

[Please Log in to your account.]

Kane looked at the technician and he immediately typed in his account. 

[Congratulations! You are a new user. You will get 3 free simulations.]

[Kindly remember that every simulation requires an active internet connection.]

Kane skipped these details and ran the simulation. A timer popped up on the screen and the countdown began. 

The timer showed that it will take 1 hour and 7 minutes for the simulation to be completed. They all waited patiently and after the timer expired, a message appeared on the screen.

[Simulation completed. Remaining points: 2]

Kane again skipped it and immediately ran the processed simulation. 

The video began to play and all of the people in the room looked at the screen with shocked eyes. 

The simulation was about a bomb exploding in a city and they wanted to see how this software would calculate the outcome.

In the video, after the bomb exploded, a shockwave traveled through the city and knocked down glass windows and doors. Immediately after that the fireball swept through the city and started to burn everything in its vicinity. 

This was not the shocking part as all this could be achieved by the existing simulators. The most amazing thing was how the buildings collapsed and how people were knocked down, how dust covered the city. This software even calculated how people would be affected by the explosion. It showed the people with broken bones and the people who died and the ones who suffered minor injuries. 

"OMG. I can't believe that someone was able to create such a perfect simulator. We have not yet tested its technical aspects but just from this, this product is at least 20 years ahead of its competitors. No, it won't even have competitors. The company that created this software is going to be worth billions. Everyone would be rushing to cooperate with them." someone spoke in the room with an excited voice. 

Kane did not say anything and just looked at the screen with open eyes that were filled with admiration and curiosity. 

Similar scenes happened in many institutes. Everyone who knew how epoch-making this product was, were talking about it. 

Of course many started to work on cracking the software and see how it worked. But they were destined to be disappointed as Fu Yan used the best encryption technology he could master. 

Even with all supercomputers combined, it will take them 20 years to crack it so he was not worried that someone would be able to crack it and release the same software. 

From the moment he decided to create this software, he planned to have a monopoly in the market. 

For the moment, only a small number of people knew about the potential of this simulator and as time will pass, more will know about its greatness. 

2 days passed and Fu Yan was looking at the statistics about how many times the simulator was downloaded and how many simulations were run. 

To his surprise, it was not as hot as he had expected it would be. 

'I guess not many people know how to use this thing so that might be why the number of simulations are so low.' Fu Yan leaned back on the chair as he muttered.

He did not know that a huge storm was rising and was ready to hit his company. It was just the calm before the storm and this storm was very unusual.

can I get some red stones please. I really need them. They make me feel full and energize.
