Chapter 17

After a month of taking a rejuvenating serum and a complex of some healing exercises, the effect finally became visible. Right before my eyes, Sarah looked five years younger and looked like a girl in the prime of her life. No, she already looked pretty, especially considering that she was already over thirty, but after my development, she directly blossomed.

I think that with this, the blonde will be able to live for seventy years and will look the same, and then I will already figure out how to proceed and make sure that she is as long-lived as my sister and I. I don't want my girls to fade away while I myself will remain the same for a very long time.

It seemed unnecessary to give the serum to Steve, since the guy has not yet fully developed, and I do not know what will happen to the child's body when he accepts my development. I'll wait a few more years until he grows up and his body comes to an optimal state. I told Sarah the same thing so that she wouldn't worry that she would live longer than her son.

At the same time, I was also working on a network of observing drones. I'll need them to monitor different personalities or just monitor the security of my possessions, huh. But the fact is that in the future I will really need drones. And it's better to start developing them now than when they are needed, and I don't have anything that could help in such a situation.

Only the drones themselves need a control center, as well as communication with it. I'm going to give the role of communication to a satellite, which also needs to be constructed. The center will be in my bunker. Yes, I recently bought a new territory and I'm going to build a new house there, along with a bunker under it, so that no stray bomb can harm my loved ones.

And then the main question arises-the materials. Where can I get so much raw material to create all this? I thought about it for a long time, but eventually came to the conclusion that gold is still the most valuable metal in the world, and other types, for example, titanium, are not yet in such great demand and the price, accordingly, is much lower. And the fact that most of the mineral deposits have not even been found yet…

In general, the problem with the necessary materials is solved. And it seems to me that one very clever monopolist of some resources will soon appear in the world. Hmm, but this will already be a great help in the future both in the economy and in politics. And why didn't I think of this before? Well, my head was busy with other problems, and even at that time I wouldn't have been able to do it anyway.

It would be necessary to hire some people to buy all this while, but not to work hard, otherwise such a demand can stir up something and prices will suddenly rise. I still have money, because recently my company has started to grow in price, and soon it will turn into one of the most expensive. My developments began to displace some others from the sales market. Well, yes, I have all the most "modern", and the price for this is the same as for others.

Now I already have two businesses that represent my company. The first is hospitals and pharmaceutical stores, which already have a reputation as the best and most advanced in the city. Subsidiaries will soon begin to appear in other cities as well. These assets of mine have received their own sign — a circle in which the plus sign icon is shown below, and waves seem to come from it.

The second are factories where consumer electronics, furniture and even some products are created. I just didn't want to be petty. If I create any production, then on a large scale. Soon my inventions will be all over the world, well, in those countries to which it will reach. As with my previous enterprise, this also has its own sign. A double circle, in which the pattern of a closed loop is depicted.

In general, I have everything to achieve my goals, so it remains only to start. Then everything depends on the time. And I have it... before the Second World War. Okay, I don't argue, seven years to become a monopolist will definitely not be enough for me, but I will still capture most of the market. But I still have a problem with finding an energy source.

Let's say I still manage to somehow provide my developments with energy. But what to do with the Vita-emitter? It is no longer a problem to construct it, because the drawings and diagrams are already ready. No, we can activate the serum. That's just its very potential will open up to only fifty percent maximum.

We need a tesseract. Or wait until someone else invents some powerful generator. In "The First Avenger", they somehow managed to create Captain America and this without my intervention. Maybe this time there will be someone who can do it? Oh, we can only believe and continue our experiments.

In the thirty-ninth, the Second World War began, when on the first of September Hitler invaded Poland from the west. I learned this thanks to my drones, which I created a year ago, at the same time I launched my satellite. There was already a working control center in my bunker, and the computer could control a group of flying machines from a huge distance.

It came out thanks to Stark, who flew into the American scientific community like a rocket. He then claimed his drawing of the finished gravity engine. Naturally, the engine itself was supposed to work only in theory, but I just lacked only this. The rest is a matter of technology, so I was able to create the first drone in a month.

Since the war began in Europe, it was there that it was going on, so the United States was still not involved in it. And ten days after the start, Stark founded his company. I offered him to join mine, as I could not miss such a genius, but the man himself refused this, arguing that he himself wants to achieve everything. His choice. I didn't bother him further and went about my business.

Just recently, Abraham sent me a message. He is called upon to provide scientific support in the war, and this is already bad, because Erskine himself hates war and everything connected with it. He doesn't want to develop weapons for this purpose even more, so he asked me for help in moving to the United States. But just like that, I can't get to him — Germany is now snapping at everyone who wants to encroach on its territory.

But I'm not going to leave him there, so I've already started developing an evacuation plan. I will go there, of course, alone, to bring Abraham and his wife out quietly, otherwise it will be problematic to do this with a group of people. I hope that during this time he will not do anything wrong. For example, he will not give the final version of the serum to some scientific unit of Hydra, as it was in the movie. I have already warned him about this, and if he gets stuck, he will give only the initial variation.
