chapter 118

I didn’t actually have any idea how to begin creating my very own 1000 km planet.

Naturally I knew a certain amount of math behind it. A planet with a diameter of 1000 km resulted in a volume of (1000*1000*1000*4*𝝅/3) = 4,188,789,330 km3 .

The density of iron was 8.37g/cm3, so one cubic meter would be 8.37 tons. One cubic kilometer would then be 8.370,000,000 tons, or about 8.3 billion tons. If we were to take that number and multiply it by the planets volume which was 4,188,789,330, it would result in more or less 3.23 *1016 tons, which according to Lena was a very very big number indeed.

The reason we based our calculations on iron is that in fact most planets were formed from material which is even denser than iron, so it was used to calculate the very minimum requirement.

At least it wasn’t the case that I would have to use Material Creation to supply all of our needs. Our main plan was to make use of the drones.

Gnoss had proposed to use nearby asteroids to help form the planet, and Lena went to work on figuring out the details.

These newest drones would be installed with our latest pulsar engine which were powered with my positron, giving them a working cycle of six months. Lena first had me construct her 100 androids which would then be used in the process of creating the space drones. The entire project was overseen by Gnoss. The whole time Thanatos was simply shadowing me, but I eventually tuned her out, becoming absorbed in the creation of androids.

After that was done, we then created the planet core. It was composed of a mix of incredibly dense alloys which I had created, and Lena was tasked with successfully fusing them together, which was quite an easy task considering her quantum computing abilities. Our core boasted a hardness and heat resistance which meant that it wouldn’t even dissolve if it were thrown in the sun. Naturally this was mostly due to the materials that I had provided, after all most of them were quite rare even across the universe and it had only been made possible due to my Material Creation ability.

“Johra, the planet core will soon be launched, 10, 9….”

A large, gold looking sphere with a 1000 kilometer diameter floated out into space. It has taken us a whole year to complete, but the core had finally been finished.

“Good morning everyone, I’m Zaira!”

“Who is this? Lena, did you somehow bring Zaira over?”

“Ha ha ha… no, but I knew you’d ask that. Actually since they share much of the same code, I was able to derive her from Lena’s programming and insert her into her own core in order to manage the creation of this planet.She is far better suited to the task than Lena who is more of an battle focused A.I.”

Lena grumbling could be heard after Gnoss’ explanation.

“It’s not that I’m not good at defending, it’s just that I wanted to have a sister.”

“Well it’s nice to meet you Lara, I’ll leave this planet in your care!”

“Yes, let’s create the most wonderful planet in all the universe.”

“That sounds awesome, it would indeed be quite the achievement!”

“Johra would you mind picking a name for the planet?”

That very question which Lara had just asked me had become the source of my greatest dilemma yet.

“Uhm… can I take some time to think about it?”

“Sure, there are still 364 days, 19 hours, 16 minutes and 24 seconds to completion.”

Ever since that day my worries began. I had spent more than one sleepless night, awake and struggling with what I would name the new planet.
