Artificial Gravity Devices Problematic

Standing on top of the rooftop Dimas continued to fire on the zerg that was coming from various directions, this Zerg seemed endless even as Dimas looked at the images taken from the drones flying around the building he was in this place had completely changed from the one originally white in color to being covered by the snow had turned black as it was covered by the zerg which was where it was. 

"How long before the artificial gravity device is active?" Dimas asked A.

" 1 minute 20 seconds" A voice sounded, a timer then appeared in the right corner of his vision which was the time the artificial gravity device was activated.

Dimas frowned, he then said to A "Can you hack the system in an artificial gravity device and get it active in 5 seconds?" 

"Sorry sir, the artificial gravity device you installed does not have a network system that I can hack, you can only wait for the artificial gravity device to activate at the specified time" The answer from A was heard in Dimas' ear.

Dimas could only vent his frustration by slashing at some of the approaching zergs, though, he did not know that the zerg would fill the building sooner than the scheduled time and was a little sorry for not adding a network system so that A could change the activation time of the artificial gravity device. Dimas requires an artificial gravity device to be active as soon as possible, Dimas has set the gravity device to increase gravity to the maximum level this artificial gravity device can reach, with the load of zerg that fills each floor coupled with increased gravity, it is certain that this building will collapse and kill many zerg in it.

Since there was no other way but to wait so Dimas could only continue slashing and shooting at this zerg while occasionally glancing at the timer in the right corner of his vision. Several times there will be a zerg that escapes the shot and also his slash will hit Dimas to knock him down, a few bites and scratches also managed to land on the mechanical armor yet it all left behind only minor scratches that were not deep. Although every scratch is not deep but if these zergs are allowed to continue to bite and claw at the same place then the mechanical armor will still be successfully penetrated and Dimas will certainly die the next time.

Because Dimas did not want to die too young, he always checked the damage level of the mechanical armor, when the part reached 50% dimas damage will carefully hide the part and try not to zerg attack the part. Fortunately Dimas was able to defend well, with the help of the Dimas battle auxiliary mode several times successfully dodging attacks on the part that had damage that had reached 50% although sometimes there are still some attacks that still hit the section.

"The artificial gravity device will activate in 5 seconds" Reminder from A sounded in Dimas' ear, he subconsciously glanced at the timer which showed the time the artificial gravity device would activate which previously showed the number five had now turned into the number four.

"Enable the plasma thrusters!" Dimas said quickly.

Dimas adjusted his posture, the plasma thrusters on the palms of his hands and feet began to lift Dimas into the air, Dimas was flying in the air rather awkwardly as he had not been able to control the direction of flying, fortunately there was an A who helped him in balancing his flight so that Dimas would not fall.

After 5 seconds of the artificial gravity device located on the third floor activated, the gravity in the surrounding area began to be increased by an artificial gravity device that became the center of gravity. Because the resulting gravity was too strong several cracks appeared in various places in the building.

Zerg who was in the coverage area also felt the arriving gravity increase, as well, they were unable to move and many of them died suddenly which was thought to have died from internal organ damage after being in a place with gravity that could be held back by his body.

"Why down? Is there a lack of energy?" Dimas asked A.

"Your current position is within the scope area of the artificial gravity device" replied A.

Dimas panicked because of the answer given by A, he quickly added energy to the propulsion engine so that Dimas who had originally flown to begin to go against the direction and fly upwards. After making sure that the location is no longer in the coverage area of artificial gravity devices.

"How can artificial gravity device coverage area calculation be inaccurate?" Dimas said with annoyance.

"Sorry sir, there seems to be a problem with artificial gravity devices, the coverage area of artificial gravity devices is still expanded so it is recommended that you stay away a little or you will be exposed to the influence of gravity produced by artificial gravity devices" A is heard.

Dimas could only accept what A said, he with the help of A controlled the mechanical armor to fly away from the building. When the distance between Dimas and the building was quite far Dimas finally stopped flying away and looked towards the building, the zergs who were not exposed to the effects of the artificial gravity device that saw Dimas move in the other direction started chasing Dimas, they began to pile up like mountains and tried to reach Dimas who was flying in the air.

Dimas distance with the nearest building is still quite far, even if the zerg piled into mountains to be able to reach Dimas it will take a long time. Rather than taking care of the zerg that was not currently life-threatening Dimas was more curious about the artificial gravity device that was active in the distance.

Fortunately, though Dimas' drone was brought down after the increase in gravity, the drone is still active and with images taken by the drone Dimas can see that the building has already suffered a crack in various places. Not long after the drone was no longer connected, all the images of the drone had turned black and Dimas heard a rumble from the direction of the bag that was fitted by the artificial gravity device.

The buildings were destroyed, but they did not fall directly to the ground but instead formed a sphere with an artificial gravity device as its core, buildings that were in the coverage area of the artificial gravity device also began to crack and any debris would fly towards the sphere.

Dimas was astonished by this scene, the device used was only the simplest artificial gravity device and the gravity that this device could create only reached 20G or twenty times the gravity of the Earth. But through the calculations performed A found its gravity has exceeded 20G and it continues to increase.

"What's going on? Is that artificial gravity device going to recycle Earth to make a new planet?" Dimas is very panicked, if this device is not immediately disabled then the coverage area will continue to be enlarged and the resulting gravity will likely also continue to increase.
