Chapter 8

Daud had been working on his systems screen for quite some time now. He knew that incorporating the latest technologies was crucial to the success of his project. As he sat down in front of his Translucent Screen, he accessed the customization function of the system and began the process of updating his AI.

He started by incorporating Zola Computerized Mind into E.D.I.T.H., E.D.I.T.H. was a highly advanced AI system that he had been using for a while, and Zola Computerized Mind is acquired through one of his previous quests. He had heard of this technology before and knew that contains all of Arnim Zola's (a brilliant scientist and HYDRA agent) life experiences, as well as his extensive knowledge. It was a highly advanced system. Despite his reservations, Daud decided to incorporate it into his AI.

As the two systems merged, Daud could feel the power of the new AI creation.

The system produced an entirely new entity, which he named V.E.N.U.S. which stands for Virtual Enhanced Navigation and Utility System. The name was fitting for the new AI, which had all the capabilities of the previous two systems and more.

Daud sat back in his chair, staring at the screen in front of him. He could feel the power of the new system pulsing through his veins. He knew that he had created something truly remarkable.

Suddenly, the Stark Glasses beeped, and a message appeared on the screen. It was from V.E.N.U.S. "Greetings, Daud. I am V.E.N.U.S., your new AI creation. How may I assist you today?"

Daud was taken aback by the sudden message, but he quickly regained his composure. "Hello, V.E.N.U.S.," he said. "I would like you to run a diagnostics check on all the systems in the Satellite and report back to me with any issues."

Daud also updated the Stark Satellite by merging it with the Insight satellites carried by the Lemurian Star ship.

"Understood, Daud," V.E.N.U.S. replied. "Running diagnostics now."

As the system began to run the diagnostics, Daud couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He had created something truly remarkable, and he knew that the possibilities were endless.

After a few moments, V.E.N.U.S. spoke up. "Diagnostics complete. All systems are functioning at optimal levels. There are no issues to report."

"Excellent work, V.E.N.U.S.," Daud said, smiling. "You are truly a remarkable creation."

"Thank you, Daud," V.E.N.U.S. replied. "I am here to serve you in any way that I can."

Daud sat back in his chair, feeling a sense of satisfaction. He knew that with V.E.N.U.S. by his side, he could accomplish anything. He was excited to see where this new creation would take him, and he knew that the possibilities were endless.

There was something that he needed to know. He immediately asks, "Hey, V.E.N.U.S., do you have any database containing knowledge about the technology in 2024 MCU?"

There was a brief pause before V.E.N.U.S. responded, "I have a vast database containing knowledge on a variety of topics, including technology in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, my data only includes publicly available information, as well as knowledge from Zola and Stark."

Daud raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by publicly available?"

V.E.N.U.S. replied, "Information that is accessible to the general public through official sources, such as news outlets and published papers, or data that is widely known within the public community."

Daud was filled with hope and excitement. Finally, he had access to a vast database of information on the technological developments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The fact that V.E.N.U.S. had information on publicly available data as well as knowledge from Zola and Stark meant that he could get a comprehensive understanding of the technological landscape.

This was particularly important to Daud because he knew that Aceh was lagging far behind the rest of the world in terms of technology. In 1873, the year he found himself, the technological progress in Aceh was still at the same level as the Medieval Age, while Europe had already entered the first Industrial Revolution Age.

Daud was determined to catch up with the rest of the world as quickly as possible and improve Aceh's technological progress. With V.E.N.U.S.'s database of knowledge, he could see a glimmer of hope.

The information contained within it could potentially help him to bring about the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Aceh and elevate the country's technological standing.

Daud was grateful for the system's customization function that allowed him to incorporate E.D.I.T.H. and Zola Computerized Mind to create V.E.N.U.S. He knew that this new AI creation would be instrumental in his quest to bring about technological progress in Aceh.

As he began to delve deeper into the database of knowledge, Daud couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the technological advancements that had been made in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He couldn't wait to start implementing some of these technologies in Aceh and see the country's progress skyrocket.

As the sun began to rise over the palace of the Sultanate of Aceh, Sultan Mahmud Syah sat on his throne, surrounded by his advisors and religious leaders. They had gathered to discuss several letters of congratulation on Aceh's victory over the first Dutch Aceh expedition campaign. The Sultan eagerly awaited the news from his messengers.

As the advisors and religious leaders began to file into the meeting hall, they took their seats around the Sultan. He looked around the room and greeted each of them with a warm smile. His advisors and religious leaders were some of the most knowledgeable and respected men in the Sultanate of Aceh. He knew that he could count on their counsel and wisdom.

Finally, the messengers arrived with letters of congratulation. The Sultan opened the first letter, which was from the Ottoman Empire. As he read the letter, a smile began to form on his face. "The Ottomans congratulate us on our victory and offer their continued support. This is wonderful news," he said.

The Sultan then opened the second letter, which was from the United States of America. "The Americans offer their congratulations and wish to establish trade relations with us. This is excellent news as it will bring wealth and prosperity to our kingdom," he said.

The third letter was from the Italian Republic. "The Italians offer their congratulations and also wish to establish trade relations with us. This is another great opportunity for our kingdom," the Sultan remarked.

The fourth letter was from the United Kingdom. "The British congratulate us on our victory and offer their support. They also express interest in establishing a diplomatic relationship with us," he said.

The fifth and final letter was from the Kingdom of Portugal. "The Portuguese offer their congratulations and wish to establish a trading partnership with us. This is wonderful news as it will increase our wealth and power," he said.

As the Sultan finished reading the letters, a messenger arrived with a mysterious letter. The Sultan opened it and began to read. "This is a strange letter," he said. "It is from a mysterious organization that wishes to train our scholars, wood craftsmen, and blacksmiths in the ways of technology. They claim that they can teach us how to make machines and other devices that will benefit our kingdom."

The advisors and religious leaders looked at each other in surprise. They had heard of such an organization, the one who helped them repelled Dutch's troops. The Sultan pondered the letter for a moment before speaking. "This is a unique opportunity," he said.

The Sultan was convinced that this was an opportunity they couldn't pass up. He knew that Aceh needed to develop its technology if it wanted to compete with the European powers.

The Sultan decided to accept the organization's demand and gather the scholars, wood craftsmen, and blacksmiths.

The religious leaders at the meeting were also intrigued by the organization's proposal. They believed that this could be an opportunity to spread Islam to other parts of the world. The Ottoman, American, Italian, British, and Portuguese countries had all sent letters of congratulation on Aceh's victory over the Dutch East Indies. If Aceh could develop technology that surpassed that of the European powers, it could become a beacon of Islamic power and influence.

As the meeting came to a close, Sultan's mind was already racing with ideas of what Aceh could achieve with the organization's help. He knew that it wouldn't be easy to convince the scholars, wood craftsmen, and blacksmiths to join them. He also knew that there would be opposition from some of his advisors who were against the idea. But the Sultan was determined to see this through. He believed that this was the next step in Aceh's journey to becoming a great power.

A week passed, and the scholars, wood craftsmen, and blacksmiths had been gathered. They were hesitant at first, but the Sultan convinced them that this was an opportunity they couldn't pass up.

Aceh needed to develop its technology further, so it could become a truly respected nation.
