Chapter 8: Remodeling and Reinforcements

Raghu's underground lab was buzzing with activity. With his new combat team of 247 highly skilled individuals, the island was transforming into a fortress of unparalleled strength. The team began by remodeling the island to conceal its true nature, building underground houses and workstations. The surface appeared desolate, while beneath it, a thriving, high-tech community took shape.

Raghu's team practiced their combat and shooting skills, ensuring they were in peak condition. Raghu focused on procuring equipment and weapons for them, utilizing his darknet connections to get the best resources available. Each member of the team received the finest gear, and the island became a training ground for elite warriors.

As they progressed, the system issued another task.

**Task:**

- Build a global communication channel.

- Reward: An invisible satellite that works exclusively for you and intermediate knowledge of computers.

Understanding the significance of this task, Raghu and his team got to work. The combat team, with their new identities and equipment, staged their own deaths, making it appear as though they had all perished. This allowed them to move freely without raising suspicion. They then scattered across the globe, planting devices provided by Raghu to create the communication network.

Although they didn't know the exact purpose of the devices, the team followed Raghu's instructions meticulously. Maya, Raghu's super AI, oversaw all the tasks, ensuring everything was executed flawlessly. The devices were strategically placed, forming a comprehensive global communication channel.

With the network established, Raghu received the promised satellite and the intermediate computer knowledge. The satellite was a marvel, invisible to others and exclusively linked to Raghu. It provided him with unprecedented access to information and communication capabilities.

As Raghu delved deeper into his new knowledge, he uncovered startling information about Earth's past. He learned that Earth was once an advanced planet, home to civilizations far more technologically developed than the current state of the world. However, for reasons unknown, these civilizations had abandoned the planet, leaving it to regress to its present condition.

Intrigued and determined, Raghu realized there was much more to learn and uncover. The system had given him the tools and the means, and now it was up to him to explore and understand the full extent of Earth's lost history. With his combat team, advanced technology, and unwavering determination, Raghu was ready to uncover the secrets of the past and reshape the future.
