Chapter 13: Project SEDS

Nen's younger sister who had done CA and CS courses was the company executive body. Excluding the major decision of the company, Nen was never troubled to do the official paper works. He had left all those works for his younger sister.

He was more of a geek or nerd who liked to play around with his computer, laptop, and programs. After showing Xin his personal cabin, both of them headed to the eighth floor where he had set up his self-designed custom-made supercomputer for his work.

Xin was highly impressed by Nen when he said he was the one who had made that supercomputer, and that too from scratch, without the help of any external third party.

After turning on all the servers and starting the computers, Nen showed Xin the entire programming about which Xin was guessing at the restro. The program really had twenty-seven units and as deduced Nen was having problems in the last seven units.

"Mhm… As expected, in this one you have made some mistakes here and there. But no problem, I can complete the program in half an hour."

Nen "…"

Listening to Xin's proclamation, Nen was really surprised, also suspicious of Xin at the same time. Surprise because he was aware that he had done some mistakes in the above units, and spotting the mistake at a first glance, was not something any high school student can do.

And suspicious because he was not sure if Xin was really a high school last year student or someone sent there by any rivalry company. Though he was introduced to him by his university time senior and one of his good friends Professor Han, even then he was still not sure about it.

"So tell me now," Xin asked again and dragged Nen out of his contemplation.

"Huh, tell what?"

"Tell who asked you to develop this program. Judging from its structure and application feasibility, it's not something any tech company would ask you to do."

"Yes, you are correct." Nen stopped at that because beyond that point the info he was going to provide was going to be confidential. And to make it available to Xin, he had to ask him to sign certain papers and an agreement of confidentiality.

Xin understood it was the normal company norms and signed on the paper without hesitation, which clearly stated that he will not disclose the company secrets to anyone. And he was found to breach this clause he would have to pay nine hundred million dollars for the company loss and violating the disclosure agreement.

After signing the paper, Nen became somewhat assured as Xin signed them as soon as possible and didn't make a scene out of it.

"Mr. Xin, now that you have signed the agreement, let me show you something."

Nen began to make gestures in the air to swipe the screen of his wall-sized glass screen. After opening some folders and entering the passwords in them, Nen opened a file and posed it before Xin.

The title of the heading was "Project SEDS"

Xin's eyes widened upon seeing the name on the screen. Like Nen, Xin too made some gestures in the air to swipe down the screen and had a thorough look at the contents of the files and the presentation.

Everything became clear to him now. The Nen Enterprises, the Project SEDS, the twenty-seven units of the program, everything was making sense now.

In his previous life, he had developed a whole set of hardware designes for the Japanese government that was part of a joint mission called, "Project Space Exploration Delta Spaceship."

The aim of the mission was to prepare a spaceship that can take humans and explore the universe. And this project took place in the magical world, during the time when Xin retired from his special forces because of his disability and joined the research department to showcase his talent there.

At that time it was someone else who had developed this program, and Xin had a rough understanding of it as he had some contribution in it. But when the soul and mind of Xin from the magical world merged with the Xin of the magic-less earth having a vast knowledge of programming skills, he revised, redesigned, and made a new program out of the old program that he had seen in his past life.

One more thing he remembered from his past life was the work distribution. Since completing the entire program of the Delta Spaceship operating system wasn't possible by one company, it had been divided into three parts.

One part was given to the Special Forces of the government sector, and two other parts were given to two companies from the private sector.

Seeing Xin was contemplating about something from the last fifteen minutes, Nen got worried and shook his shoulder to bring him back to reality.

"Uh, huh, yes?!" Xin asked in a puzzled voice.

"Mr. Xin, you have been quiet for the last fifteen minutes, so I thought of~~"

"Oh, yes, yes. I was thinking about something."

Xin was still hesitant whether he should put his nose in this matter or not when the system's voice rang in his mind.

New long-term mission generated!!

New long-term mission generated!!

Xin knitted his eyebrows and clicked on it to check out the content of the mission.

Long-term mission: Complete Project SEDS.

Time Limit: N/A

Reward: ???

This time there was a reward for completing the mission, but for some reason, Xin wasn't able to check what's the reward.

Xin didn't think about it for the time being, and whispered, "Accept," in a low voice.

Mission Accepted!!

Mission Accepted!!

And with that, the system's UI screen vanished before his eyes.

Observing Xin was keeping quiet, Nen asked him again about what he was contemplating earlier.

This time Xin didn't act dazed like the first time and blurted out the thing that he was hesitating to tell earlier.

"Mr. Nen, not only I can complete this part of the program, I can complete the other parts too."

Nen "…"
