49 Receiving reports

[Sir, how did the assimilation go?] Nova asked him the moment he sat on his chair the next day.

“It went well but two of the three of them are impossible without completing the third one.”

[Are you talking about quantum computers?]

“Yep, Although creating the virtual reality or the simulation is possible with conventional computers it needs to be the size of a state to be able to even handle tricking the brain to give the same feeling as reality. As for the universal simulation don’t even start about that, for even the small part of it to begin simulating we will need computers the size of America”

[Well Quantum computers will solve all of that.]

“You are right about that. Looks like we need a lab to create the quantum qubits & bits”

[I will be looking for advanced labs available for rent and inform you when I find one.]

“Good”

[Also..]

“Is there something else?”

[Yes, we received two of the four reports]

Aron smiled when he heard about that. “Show me the reports”

[Yes] Nova said and opened the reports in two windows.

Investigation Report.

Country Name: Eden.

Country size: 7 million square kilometers (2.7 million square miles).

Location: -1.602022, -135.131618 (Pacific Ocean)

Eden exists on the equator line in the middle of the pacific ocean as a combination of 5 large islands and many small ones.

Neighbours

They have one Neighbor, Esparia and the pacific ocean.

Resources

-Marine resources.

The largest industry in the country due to large coastlines.

-Natural resources.

They have an insignificant amount of mineral resources.

A medium amount of natural gas and fertile land for agriculture.

-Water resources.

They have large water bodies but due to mismanagement and low safety oversight nearly all the water in the country is somewhat contaminated.

Population: 69 million people

Background

Eden is a country with a population that is suffering under an oppressive regime. It is situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the largest of the two countries in the region.

The country’s resources, specifically its fishing resources are large, but are being exploited by Esparia, a neighboring country with no retaliation from Eden’s non-existent military.

The collected intelligence suggests that there might be a link between the dictator’s slush fund and the neighboring country’s fishing industry.

The investigation revealed the following information:

Due to difficulties in living conditions the population of Eden is showing signs of rebellion.

The rebellion is being led by a small group of activists who are using social media to organize protests and disseminate their message.

However, their efforts have been met with brutal crackdowns by the regime’s security forces, resulting in several arrests and fatalities.

Our sources indicate that the security forces are receiving training and support from a foreign country as a form of favor due to their location being the center of two large economic continents. Asia and America.

The dictator of Eden is focusing all military funding on his personal security detail, equipped with modern weapons and receiving foreign forces training.

The dictator is afraid of empowering the military as he fears it could turn on him and stage a coup. Furthermore, the dictator’s security detail has been observed collaborating with the neighboring country’s fishing industry.

Our sources suggest that the security detail is facilitating the neighboring country’s illegal fishing activities in exchange for financial gains for the president.

The neighboring country has taken advantage of the lack of military presence in Eden’s waters and is fishing with impunity.

This led to many small fights between citizens of both countries leading to a large number of casualties over the years.

After he finished reading the report about Eden he took a few seconds to recollect the information he just read then he moved on to read the next report About Esparia

Investigation Report.

Country Name: Esparia.

Country size: 1 million square kilometers (386,102 square miles).

Location: –5.336653, -117.963566 (Pacific Ocean)

It exists just under the equator line in the middle of the pacific ocean as a combination of 1 large island and few small ones.

Neighbors

They have one Neighbor, Eden and the Pacific ocean.

Resources

-Marine resources.

The largest industry in the country due to their coastlines.

-Natural resources.

A small amount of natural gas and fertile land for agriculture.

-Water resources.

Enough for everyone but only few of them have access to them.

Population: 15 million people

Background.

Estoria is a country with a small population led by a corrupt democratic government.

It is situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the smallest of the two countries in the region.

The country’s economy is mostly dependent on its fishing resources, but most of it comes from exploiting Eden’s economic exclusive zone.

The collected intelligence suggests that there might be a link between their country’s uninterrupted exploitation of their neighboring country and a slush fund of Eden’s president(Dictator.)

.

.

The investigation revealed the following information:

Their government is stable compared to their neighbor Eden who are on the verge of rebellion given enough time and support.

After Aron read the second report he asked Nova “What do you think about the reports?”

[It covered most of what we needed and they even managed to find somethings that can’t be easily found on the internet like the slush fund made with the collaboration of both country]

“You are right about that.”

[Sir, do we really need to wait for the remaining reports about the other two countries before we decide who to choose and begin our next step?] Nova asked.

“Why do you think so?” Aron asked, he was curious as to why Nova thought that.

[Aren’t you looking for countries that are in turmoil so that you can support the revolutionaries and then later make that as your base of operation to avoid a similar situation of you being attacked for your technology or being forced by a government to hand over your technology without compensation?]

“Yes, that is the gist of it. And?” He agreed with what was said but he still waited for the reason.

[To be able to do that without interruption you will need to avoid the US or any other government’s eyes before your foundations in the country are stable enough.

But the remaining countries are near the US border and one of them is even sanctioned by them making your required stability an impossibility in them.

But these two countries are out of most of the world’s eye and they are isolated from most of the world.

They just have themselves as neighbors to each other.

Hence this will reduce the number of complications that might occur during your force building process due to neighboring countries interference as there will only be one of them.]

“Now that is a good suggestion” Aron couldn’t help but be happy that his child has grown enough to even suggest good ideas.

[Thank you sir]Nova replied as he was happy.
