That happens when you don't trust your soldiers and limit them to 3 bullets each. Expecting a long drawn out battle and locking away the spare ammo safely can backfire if you get surprise attacked and swarmed.
“We aren’t making any progress despite our technological superiority?” John was finding it difficult to believe that, despite being centuries ahead of the rest of the world in terms of technology, the empire was having a difficult time catching a simple terrorist. It was the equivalent of the Battle of Isandlwanda in 1857, where the British invaded Zululand armed with muskets, cannon, and steel armor, but were resoundingly defeated by Zulu warriors wearing loincloths and armed with leather shields and stabbing spears.

Keep in mind that a paper thin layer of aluminum is used to make a soda can, able to hold immense pressure and weight while stacked. The main reason we didn't use aluminum in weapon crafting back then is how hot you need to get the raw ore to refine it. Bauxite is no joke.
"I'm old and not that fit anymore." Old Craftsman later remarked, shaking his head. "With raw material of this grade, I could've smithed something better in the past. Hehe, if I were to use aluminum, I can even smith one with a fine grade!"

He went with the END money. tsk. At first I misread it to New Earth Dollar. And am tragically disappointed we will not be trading in NEDs... sorry Flanders, your time almost came in a story.
Aron cleared his throat and lightly coughed into his fist, then continued, “As for the financial and banking sector. We know that some of you have already noticed that all trading has been halted. This is not a bug, nor is it an attack. We are dedicating a vast amount of supercomputer time to determine exactly what currencies have spending power, and how much they have, exactly. Once We have that information, all banks will begin reissuing a new universal currency: the Earth New Dollar. All currency reserves will be replaced by the end of this week, and private citizens will have until January 21st to replace any cash they have at any bank, whether it is your bank or not.

That's not where their thermal sensors are. *facepalm*
Their forked tongues, flicking out of their mouths, were clearly equipped with infrared-like detection.

Snakes don't sniff the air. They flick out their tongue and taste the air.
They sniffed the air, catching the scent of a living human, and began to converge on John.

Luddites were usually based on financial views. A skilled master craftsman got paid a solid wage. But an industrial weaving machine could do a faster job, needing only entry level staff to watch over the machines and tending them. They could run more hours a day for far less in wages, while producing far more cloth.
(Ed note: Luddites were people who, during the industrial revolution of the early 19th century, fought against the advance of technology and would often attack and destroy textile mill machinery in order to keep their jobs. In the modern sense, it’s anyone that refuses to “keep with the times”, much like the Amish people of the US.)

3333 steps / 30 min = 111.1 steps per minute. Or 1.85 steps per second.For sight seeing that is a pretty brisk pace.
There was a total of 3333 steps, yet it took them nearly half an hour to walk to their end. First, they were walking and gazing because it was so shocking, and second, there were too many people on the steps, so squeezing through all the way wasn't easy.

Weather satellites plz and thank you. Nothing like hurricanes hitting areas blind...
Thus, Connect Enterprises stepped in and allowed the satellites launched by Aron to replace the GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BAIDOU navigation networks, filling the hole that was bleeding those companies dry. And beyond simple GPS services, the Panopticon network provided all of the other satellite services that used to be provided by governments around the world, allowing for normal operations to resume in many other areas as well.

6881 / 100.So you're saying they fired 69 volleys in their honor. *Insert childish jokes*
Then a hundred rifles spoke in unison, again and again and again. The firing continued uninterrupted until 6,881 shots were fired in total. After firing the final shot, the leader of the funeral honor guard brought the detail back to attention and shouted, “Now their watch has ended!”

Fifth: You Haven't Actually Helped Anyone Yet. DERP. Go build some water collector and purifier systems where they are desperately needed. Print some emergency rations and farming tools for places with starvation. Build some public pod hospitals!...Then you will have helped people.
{As for the third, and final, possibility, I believe the system might not be able to reward you with SP for taking over humanity and becoming its sole leader until you’ve completely awakened it. So your reward will be given then.}

"That explosion that caught up with him". Well damn. Explosions are deadly enough when they do run down the street, hunting you down like an angry raptor...
The beeping sound of the apparatus signaled that the five-year old boy had finally died after sustaining severe injuries from an explosion that he had gotten caught up with.
