Chapter 201 Legacy Of The Doom-Tex Corporation (2)

[During the exodus of the Korias Empire, Doom-Tex Corporation prepared 1,000 official shelters for the Korias Empire and other purposes of the Doom-Tex Corporation. From the official 1,000 shelters termed as Vaults, 546 have been breached by intelligent species and plundered, 214 have been destroyed either by Holy Legendary Level Arrakian sandworms or were destroyed through other means and 74 are deactivated. Currently, there are 166 Vaults of the Doom-Tex Corporation still activated and sealed. Most of the Vaults are located within the center of the Sikarra where several Holy Levvel Legendary Arrakian sandworms have been identified.]

Samiel heard the Virtual Intelligence of the Research Site Alpha answer him. This was far more shelters sealed than he anticipated, though if he had to guess, there were 1,000 of them and the fact that 166 shelters still remained was a miracle on its own, though they were mainly in the central area of the Sikarra...

"Where is the main computer of the Doom-Tex Corporation and what are the official shelters?"

Samiel then asked another question to the Virtual Intelligence as Yvraine just remained on guard next to his right, as Ashimer was doing the same and observed the entire atrium for potential enemies because they noticed that some of the glass tanks with the Death Claws were broken...

[In the Imperial Date of Year 7,801 of Korias Kalendar of the 90th Epoch of New Era, the Doom-Tex Corporation started building the underground doomsday shelters across the entire 10th Floor, because the evacuation was impossible due to outside interference. Doom-Tex Corporation officially built 1,000 shelters termed, from Vault-1 to Vault-1,000. Aside from them, there is Vault-X0Z which houses the main computer of the Doom-Tex Corporation with its entire databank, containing the inheritance of the Doom-Tex Corporation along with all of its research on everything that the Korias Empire and Doom-Tex Corporation ever done.]

Samiel frowned hearing that because he had a hunch that the Vault-X0Z was out of his reach for a very long time, but he wanted it... it was common knowledge that at its height, the Korias Empire had one of the best research and knowledge of the Primordial Psionic Energy across the Material Plane of the Cosmos, not falling much behind the Mind Flyers.

"Where is the Vault-X0Z?"

Samiel asked as suddenly one of the dots on the screen lit up with the words 'Vault-X0Z'.

[Vault-X0Z as the main headquarters of the highest-ranking members Doom-Tex Corporation and Korias Empire, is located deep under the former Imperial Capital of the Korias Empire. Current state: serves as lair of two Holy Legendary Level Arrakian sandworms which are mates and an entire colony of sandworms.]

When both Samiel and Yvraine heard that, they were aware why nobody till this day bothered with it... it was like a mission impossible. No one Holy Legendary Level Arrakian sandworm, but instead two together with an entire colony of them, there could be possible tens or hundreds of Legendary Level sandworms.

Samiel knew that even his master would probably never go there because it was too dangerous. Legendary Level Arrakian sandworms could easily fight those above their level in their natural environment, and there were two sandworms of that level was almost suicidal.

"What was researched here in the Research Station Alpha?"

Seeing that he couldn't get to the complete inheritance of the Doom-Tex Corporation, Samiel wasn't sad because he had time to spare and he was suicidal enough to try it in the future. Now, he was most curious about what they were doing here, seeing here countless Deathclaws.

[Special Research Division of the Doom-Tex Corporation was researching genetic modification of the Deathclaws to feed solely on the meat of the Arrakian sandworms within the Project: Sandfall.]

The moment he heard that his ears perked up as he ordered the Virtual Intelligence to explain what the Project: Sandfall was.

[Project: Sandfall consisted of three phases. Phase One was to contract doomsday shelters that would be immune to the attacks of the Arrakian sandworms, where the elites of the Korias Empire would hide. Phase Two consisted of gene-engineering Deathclaws to force them to feed on the Arrakian sandworms and increase their reproductive abilities. Phase 3 was to release the specifically created Deathclaws onto the 10th Floor and let them hunt down every Arrakian sandworm during the time the population of the Korias Empire would hide in the Vaults. Phase 4 was the elimination of the Deathclaws through the self-destruction and subsequent terraforming of the 10th Floor to its previous state.]

Now, this was the most shocking thing, but not that surprising to hear... the Korias Empire was indeed put to its destruction by the very sole thing that contributed to its rise. Naturally, he was aware of what it would mean that if someone released these genetically modified Deathclaws... they could grow stronger with time, probably even reaching the Holy Legendary after some years and annihilating every single Arrakian sandworm.

"Has the research been completed?"

Soon enough, the answer put chills into him as even Yvraine paid attention closely to what the Virtual Intelligence was saying.

[The research on the sandworm hunting Deathclaws has been completed and Phase 3 of the Project: Sandfall has never been initiated because only the Research Site Alpha contains the genetically-engineered Deathclaws. During one incident, several of the Deathclaws went out of control and killed everyone before they could be released on the 10th Floor of the Tower.]

Hearing this, he sighed in relief because he planned to do something which would probably piss off Yvraine a lot, but seeing her to calmly standing there and sending him a nod, he looked at the computer before giving it the most important command.

"Upload all of the Research on the Deathclaws and the entire database on the computer to the databank and then start deletion of anything related to it."

Samiel ordered... because he had his own intentions and the Arrakian sandworms were too valuable a resource just to pass them on. Just the breeding of the Arrakian sandworms and harvesting their Nuclei for a few centuries made the Korias Empire one of the strongest factions in the Cosmos and also, one of the richest factions, far eclipsing out even some of the biggest interdimensional corporations that ever existed.

[Order has been entered. Data on the Deathclaw Research are being uploaded on a separate data bank.]

[Upload of the data on the Deathclaw Research has been finished.]

[Initiating deletion on everything related to the Deathclaw Research and Project: Sandfall.]

[Deletion o everything related to the Deathclaw Research and Project: Sandfall has been finished.]

When everything was deleted from the main computer of the Research Site Alpha, then the only place where the other copies of the same data are contained is the central computer of the Doom-Tex Corporation in the center of the Sikarra underneath the ruins of the former Imperial Capital.

Samiel then took the databank as he stored it in his diíimensional storage, making sure it was safe. Maybe one day it would come in handy, and on top of that, he wasn't fond of destroying some fine pieces of research and knowledge on a whim.

"Show me the levels of the Vault-76 and how many Deathclaws are now moving freely across the research station?"

Samiel then proceeded to ask the thing; as it was time to close the search through the Vault-76, he would then seal the entrance and they would stay just in the residential area during their entire stay on the 10th Floor. When he would be done with the all things on the 10th Floor and has completed the Advancement Quest, he would activate the self-destruction sequence to ensure that nobody would be able to make use of this place again.

Though before that, he planned to hunt down all Deathclaws... in case some unforeseen circumstances happened which would force them out of their lair before the scheduled time and at the same time he wanted to fight against the pinnacle of genetic engineering of the Korias Empire as it sounded fun.

[Currently, across the entire Research Site Alpha, there are exactly 1,000 Deathclaws, from which 67 are awake and roaming the Vault-76 through its three levels. The remaining Deathclaws are in the status in the container tanks. As long as the machinery is functioning, there is no zero possibility of them waking up. From the Deathclaws that are awake, all of them are Silver-Tier initial levels.]

"Create a self-destruction protocol that could be activated through my Holo-Brain."

Samiel then started typing something on the holographic keyboard of his Holo-Brain while connecting with the Virtual Intelligence of the main computer of the Research Site Alpha, downloading the program for the self-destruction.

"What are the chances of the of the active Deathclaws surviving the self-destruction sequence?"

Samiel asked though at the same time, he was utilizing his Level 4 Transcendental Ability Architect to calculate the result of the situation he asked the Virtual Intelligence.

[34,98%.]

'21,77%.'

While he trusted more his own calculations, more than 20% was still unacceptable... though for Samiel, only 0,00% would be totally acceptable results. He knew that the Deathclaws that were deactivated would surely die in the self-destruction, but those who were awake, some of them were bound to survive and then, they would get to the surface world, where they could start hunting for the weaker Arrakian sandworms, reproducing, hinting and establishing the cycle, thus endangering his future money.

"We need to go and hunt every Deathclaw that is still activated and roaming these halls... apparently they have a solid chance to survive through the self-destruction of the facility and that would mean less money for me... that is unacceptable."

Samiel stated seriously as Yvraine rolled her eyes at this, though, at the same time, she was aware that this was a unique money-making opportunity because they obtained countless research and legacies of the Doom-Tex Corporation in that data bank.

And while their main concern was the research on the Deathclaws, there was plenty of that on the sandworms and apparently, the central computer o the Doom-Tex Corporation contained a method for breeding the Arrakian sandworms.

Certainly, there were countless people that would want to return the 10th Floor to its previous state because, truth to be told, the presence of the Arrakian sandworms right now is not benefitting anyone.

With the fall of the Korias Empire, there breeding methods of the Arrakian sandworms were lost and right now, there were only so few places where they lived naturally, with the 10th Floor of the Tower was basically a single place that wasn't categorized as a Death Zone.

With all of that lost, nobody could efficiently control the Arrakian sandworms and use them for anything. While there were some efforts and tries from Germinal Order a few centuries ago, they ended spectacularly bad and even for the Germinal Order it was not worth the effort.
