Modular Blocks

The vacation passed in a blur of happiness, and a few days later, Sanjay and his companions returned to Guwahati, settling into their newly built home.

Despite the trip, Sanjay never truly disconnected from either of his two worlds. Every night, he split his time between the medieval timeline and the future timeline, effortlessly managing both due to the difference in time flow.

He spent quality time with both Alisha and Maya, though neither questioned his sudden disappearances from his room. It had become an unspoken understanding. One night, he administered a genetic enhancement to Alisha, and the results were nothing short of remarkable—her features refined even further, making her beauty almost otherworldly.

Today, standing atop the fort, Sanjay surveyed his soldiers. Below him, five thousand men practiced tirelessly with their automatic rifles, their movements precise, their discipline unwavering. The transformation was evident. He had recently acquired more workers to support his growing army.

"Nirav, how are they progressing?" Sanjay asked, turning to his trusted commander. It had been nearly two months since training had begun.

"Sir, the training is going well," Nirav reported with a proud smile. "Especially with the VR helmets you provided. The soldiers experience real-time battlefield scenarios, as if they've trained for years. It's an incredible advantage."

"Good," Sanjay nodded, pleased with the results.

"And just a few days ago, a group of bandits—over a thousand strong—attempted to attack the fort. Our soldiers wiped them out without a single casualty. Their training is paying off."

Sanjay smirked, satisfied. "Impressive. You've done well as their commander. Your salary will be increased."

Nirav saluted sharply. "Thank you, Sir!"

The VR helmets had been a game-changer. Though Iris couldn't construct an entire virtual world, she had managed to create a simple yet highly effective training program. More importantly, he could adjust the time flow within the simulation, allowing soldiers to gain years of experience in a fraction of the time. However, he was careful not to overdo it. The human body had its limits, and drastic temporal distortions could have unforeseen consequences.

A structured regimen had been put in place: physical training during the day and VR-based education and tactical training at night. According to Iris, since the body was resting while the mind trained, the soldiers would perceive it as a vivid dream, avoiding mental exhaustion.

Sanjay had his sights set on the civil war predicted to break out in three years. But history was delicate. The butterfly effect could shift the timeline, and he refused to be caught unprepared. If more workers were available, he would have purchased them without hesitation.

Currently, his forces were divided into three main groups: five thousand combat soldiers, another five thousand responsible for logistical tasks such as warehouse management, fort maintenance, cooking, and sanitation, and a specialized two-thousand-strong military transport unit.

These transport specialists would handle resource distribution, bridge construction, and emergency reinforcements when needed—essentially the backbone of any large-scale war effort. 

Recently, the construction team had completed several housing units and a military academy using the futuristic modular blocks Sanjay had acquired from the future timeline. These blocks were nothing short of a technological marvel.

Designed like advanced Lego bricks, they locked into place seamlessly, becoming virtually indestructible over time. They were also incredibly lightweight, making them easy for a single person to carry.

Entire ten-story buildings were assembled with minimal effort, and they were significantly stronger than traditional cement structures. Even earthquakes couldn't shake them, as they effortlessly absorbed vibrations. The ease of construction was a game-changer, eliminating traditional architectural constraints.

Sanjay marveled at the possibilities. With these blocks, he could design and construct anything—fortresses, underground bunkers, even entire cities—all with unprecedented efficiency. The thought filled him with anticipation.

Even if he brought this technology to the modern world, it would be groundbreaking. Although structures taller than ten stories required architectural planning, that was the only limitation preventing further expansion in the medieval world.

However, given the current low population, such heights weren't necessary for now. This problem can be easily solved in the modern world.

Within a week, all the wooden houses were dismantled, leaving only a few sturdy block buildings standing. These structures were not only well-insulated against the cold but also remained cool in the heat. Thoughtfully designed, they allowed for future expansion, ensuring that more people could be accommodated as the population grew.

The training barracks were expanded significantly, transforming the area into a proper academy. Now, it included living quarters, a dining hall, a VR training room, offices, and a vast training ground, making it a self-sufficient military hub.

As for Sanjay, he had decided to relocate from the aging fort. Tearing it down would be a waste of manpower and time, so he opted to leave it standing on the edge of his fief and build a grand mansion for himself instead.

With no immediate war looming, the workers focused on construction, using the advanced building blocks. The mansion would be completed in a week, though it would take longer before he could move in. He wanted to add luxuries such as a swimming pool, a sauna, and other modern amenities. Everything he needed would be brought in from both the future and modern worlds.

Beyond that, Sanjay envisioned a commercial hub and a shipyard. The vast water body nearby was being wasted, but with future-era ships, he believed he could overcome any potential dangers the waters posed. 

He wouldn't need to import ships from the future or the modern world. Instead, he planned to bring shipbuilding machines from the future and manufacture the vessels locally. With an abundance of iron ore underground, materials wouldn't be an issue. 

However, skilled manpower remained a challenge. The recent war and plague had drastically lowered life expectancy, making it difficult to find enough trained individuals.

"Wait a second... do they have medical androids? That could be useful, right?" 

Curious, he asked Iris, who quickly confirmed it. While most advanced societies relied on expensive automated health machines for instant medical care, more affordable medical androids had been developed to assist impoverished nations and war zones. These androids were only slightly more expensive than standard household robots and were available for public purchase.

Excited by the potential, Sanjay saw an opportunity. He could introduce medical tourism, improving healthcare while also increasing the population. Even if the population boost was minimal, it would still be a valuable addition to his long-term plans.

The idea seemed not only feasible but highly beneficial if executed properly. Would it change the future? The robots, the ships, the weapons—he didn't care. As long as he could leverage these two timelines, he would keep using them to his advantage.

Without hesitation, he traveled to the future timeline and accessed the internet. He purchased ten medical androids, each equipped with medicine bags, along with advanced medical equipment and a specialized AI to manage them all. 

The total cost came to ten million quarks, with the medical AI being the most expensive component. However, it was worth it. In war-torn regions, people often had various augmentations, and this AI could scan and provide tailored medical treatment accordingly.

Money wasn't an issue for him. After selling 1,000 kg of gold, he had earned 4.3 billion quarks. Maya initially wanted to transfer the entire sum to him, but after some convincing, she kept 500 million for herself. It was still an immense fortune—more than enough to fund his plans for the foreseeable future.

As for government taxes, they were automatically deducted with a precision of 99.9% by the AI. Sanjay barely gave it a second thought.

Raghav, through Maya, reassured him that he could always sell more gold if needed. He also offered assistance in acquiring weapons or other necessities, but for now, Sanjay had no need for them.

Before making the medical service public, he decided to test the androids on his own people. If they performed well, he would expand access.

He instructed the workers to construct a ten-story hospital building near the military academy. This location ensured both security and easy access in case of emergencies.

The workers, now highly experienced after constructing multiple buildings, completed the structure within a single day. 

By the following evening, the medical androids and all necessary supplies had arrived at a nearby warehouse he had rented. His previous warehouse, located farther away, was convenient for smuggling gold but impractical for frequent purchases. With this new setup, everything was coming together smoothly.

P.S.: Sorry for the confusion regarding the timeline. As we move forward, I will establish a new timeline for better clarity.

1 day in Modern World = 6 days in Medieval/Future World

1 week in Modern World = 6 weeks in Medieval/Future World= 1 month 2 weeks

1 month in Modern World = 6 months in Medieval/Future World

Additionally:

1 day in Medieval World = 1 day in Future World (Since both are the same world, just in different time periods)

These new timelines will be followed from now on.
