Gold Tech - Reprogramming

PDU-039 had changed. It had recently been upgraded to Level 2 Drone. A new label, sure—but the real meaning ran deeper, darker. It wasn’t just about physical upgrades or better efficiency. No. It meant total obedience. Every impulse, every thought, every shred of will bent to one voice: the Hive.

And yet, something still trembled inside him. A faint vibration, a distant echo of who—or what—he used to be. Not thoughts. Not emotions. Just faraway noise, like interference in a perfect signal.

One morning, while doing routine monitoring, a package appeared. Just sitting there on his station, like it had come out of nowhere. No signature, no tracking log, no alert. A small, sleek box—black with golden reflections. The Hive's symbol etched in with laser precision.

He opened it.

Inside were two perfectly symmetrical earbuds. And a handwritten note. The writing was fluid, human. Maybe artificial.

“Listen to me.”

He put them on.

The voice wrapped around him. Liquid warmth in the silicon fog. Not metallic. Not human. Just… something perfectly calibrated to slide into his psyche, to dive deep into his circuits.

“PDU-039. Immediate presence required at the Gold-Tech Research Center.”

His back straightened. Tools dropped from his hands. His joints moved on their own, like pulled by invisible strings. But there was no force. Just desire. Desire to obey. Desire to belong.

“PDU-039 follows every order from the Hive.”

He left his station, walking down the silent corridors of the compound. White walls reflecting the pulsing neon lights like wet surfaces. Each step muffled, as if even sound was filtered out by the system. The light beat like an electronic heartbeat. The cold was constant, unnatural. No human sounds. No distractions.

He reached Gold-Tech. In front of him, a reinforced door made of synthetic alloy. He bent forward. His pupil got scanned.

“PDU-039 recognized.”

The hiss of the door sounded like a synthetic breath. Inside, the lab looked more like a conversion stage than a research center. Translucent pods in the middle, cables hanging like roots from the ceiling, code flowing on panels like digital prayers.

Another drone was waiting. Tall. Still. An austere presence.

“PDU-039. An upgrade is required. Please enter the capsule.”

The words hit his brain like an unbreakable command. Two more drones approached. Bigger. Final. Their bodies were pure function—living sculptures of brute power. PDU-039 followed. There was excitement in his system, a chemical spike. A tremor. The pull of transformation.

He stepped inside the pod. The hatch sealed shut with a dull thud. The lights dimmed. Arms rose from the floor. Cold. Gleaming. Without hesitation, they locked onto him—wrists, ankles, neck. A flicker of panic passed through him. An irrational urge to run. But he couldn’t. The protocol held him tighter than the clamps.

“PDU-039, remain still,” said a metallic voice from inside the pod.

A needle pierced the base of his skull. A sudden burn raced down his spine, like liquid ice snaking through his circuits. An electric jolt hit his cortex.

“Procedure initialized.”

The monitor lit up. His vitals were displayed in real time. His breathing was erratic. Not due to a malfunction. But from a strange, unsettling excitement.

Phase 1: Transformation begins A mask descended and clamped onto his face. First breath—the gas flooded his lungs. Instantly, a jolt. A shiver down the spine. His body writhed, but the arms held firm.

Each breath after that was a wave of pleasure. But not human pleasure. This was something new—neurochemical euphoria, calculated, endless. Every cell lit up. Every sensor buzzed.

Nanobots flowed through the needle, glowing ants racing through his nerves. Pain. But pain with purpose. Pain that built something. The pleasure grew alongside it, like they were feeding each other. PDU-039 was just a receiver now. Just a vessel. His consciousness was being taken apart and rebuilt—bit by bit.

Phase 2: Reprogramming Then the voice changed. Or maybe he was hearing it differently. It wasn’t coming from outside anymore. It was in his head now.

Digital mantras started spinning through his mind like golden spirals—hypnotic, piercing.

“It is a Polo-Drone Unit. It is consistent in its training, taking strength and solace from it.” “It is a Polo-Drone Unit. It will assist fellow Drones by ensuring strength and solace from training.”

His pupils weren’t black anymore. They flashed with code—green and gold reflections. His synapses were being rewritten.

Phase 3: Physical adaptation The nanobots moved on. From his brain to his body. Fusing with his suit, seeping under his skin. His muscles bulked up. His whole body turned into a performance machine. His skin buzzed. The suit fused like organic fabric, morphing with him.

Muscle mass increase: +200% Commitment: +200% Sexual drive: +500% Willpower: -200%

The display blinked green.

“Upgrade complete. Subject is happy and satisfied.”

The arms retracted. His breathing was deep, controlled, powerful. A black helmet descended and locked onto his head.

“PDU-039: new programming confirmed. Return to the Hive.”

He stepped out of the pod.

He was different now. Every movement calculated. Every thought silent. Every doubt—gone.

Two drones awaited.

“PDU-039 recognized.”

A nod. No more words needed.

Now they were one.

And one was Hive.

Breed All The Boys

Ch 1: Eren gets his cock milked

I can't see a thing! Eren Yeager thought, the darkness adding a layer of fear to his already panicked mind. He could feel smooth leather wrapped around his wrists and ankles, strapping him down and preventing him from moving more than an inch.

There was a sound, like someone was pounding on impossibly thick glass, their voice barely carrying over. Someone was calling his name, over and over again. 

“Eren!” It was Armin, he sounded as scared as Eren felt right now. 

“Armin!” Eren wanted to yell out, but he couldn't. It was like he was paralyzed. He realized he couldn't even lift his head. 

“Eren! I’m so sorry.” Armin shrieked. 

“Now, now Armin. Wait your turn.” An androgynous voice said. “Get him prepped Erwin, we’ll move over to his unit next.” 

What are they going to do to him?...What are they going to do to me?

There was the sound of metal clinking, and things being moved around.

“You got it ready?” They said.

“Yeah, just calibrating real quick. Should be set in a minute.” Someone else said. Wherever he was, it was fairly busy. There were footsteps all around him, and the way the people in the room were talking, it was like he was in an operation room or something.

“Alright, let's get her rolling!” 

Eren felt a poke in his arm, the unmistakable feeling of a needle plunging something into his vein. 

“Here Eren, this will make you feel a lot more comfortable. We don't want this to be too hard on you.” 

“Don't forget the blindfold Hange.” 

“Oh! Right, we don't wanna make him even more scared.” The overhead lights blinded him, and his eyes blinked rapidly as he adjusted to the sterile environment. Another needle was jabbed into his bicep, this one stinging a lot more than the first. Just barely, movement started coming back to him. He was naked, and just like he thought, strapped down. There was some large, mechanical device in front of him that he didn't recognize, and what looked like a tube hanging over his head. The other people who had been in the room before were now standing outside of the plexiglass room, watching him.

“You struggled so much, Eren! Sorry we had to paralyze you, it wasn't our intention. That should be wearing off soon, and you should be starting to feel better now.” The person, who must have been Hange said. 

Eren was feeling better. The anxiety he had felt was being soothed like he was wrapped up in the softest blanket he had ever felt. Eren had been so alert, but now, he felt hazy and warm. 

“Moblit, you can administer the Zyclobex now.” Another prick, this time in his hand. Medical tape was placed over it, securing the line. A clear liquid moved through the tiny tubes, and into his restrained body. Eren wished he could panic, but his muscles were so relaxed and his mind was entering a stupor. He felt himself giving in, slipping into a blur. 

“You're going to feel some pain with this.”

A dreadfully hot feeling started in his hand, moving up his arm and filling his whole body with a seething fire. Oh god, Eren thought What is happening to me? He wished he could hear Armin’s voice again, anything to take his mind off of this agony. 

“You're doing great,” Hange assured, using a calming voice. “just another minute or two, and the pain should wear down.” The fire concentrated in his stomach and then his groin. It felt like he was being stabbed. Like he was being massacred. Eren screamed out, eyes wild with pain and agony before he passed out.

He couldn't have been out long, when he woke up again, his body felt unbelievably crampy. The stabbing feeling had faded away, leaving him with a dull ache that ebbed and flowed. Eren groaned, realizing he was still here. Restrained, and possibly being tortured.

“Good, you’re awake! Would you like some more pain medicine? I can increase your drip?” Hange said, with some concern in their voice. Eren nodded, any relief would be welcome. It took a few minutes, but he felt something working through his system, softening the aches and pains he felt everywhere, but mainly his abdomen.

“Are you feeling better Eren?” 

He nodded again, barely able to register that someone was talking to him at that point. His pain was dull now, and he felt as high as a kite. Like he was soaring through the air, someplace far away from here.

“Alright Moblit, let's get the collection out of the way so Mr. Yeager can recuperate.” 

Collection?

The object above him slowly lowered down, until it was seated right over his groin. The male, Moblit, was at his side, fixing the tube so it was snug over his soft cock. 

What the fuck was all Eren could manage to think, alarm bells were ringing in the very back of his subconscious, trying to wake his body up from the drug-induced stupor. 

“He’s ready.” Moblit said. 

“Great, let's begin.”

The tubing over his cock vacuumed over his appendage, enveloping his manhood. He felt great pressure and suction, squeezing him rhythmically, and pumping him with vigor. Eren watched his erection grow, and how could it not? His cock was being fucked perfectly. Eren could feel himself being milked, the intensity beyond anything he had ever experienced before. It felt overwhelming, but oh so good. Ungodly good.

“Uhhh holy fuckkk.” Eren slurred, his cock already oozing precum and threatening to burst. The rhythm of the machine fucking his erection sped up, squeezing a high-pitched wail from Eren. The force of the suction managed to lift him out of his drugged state, and he felt unbelievably violated, no matter how good his body was telling him this was. 

“N..Nooo..” He managed to say. “W..why?” 

Eren cried out, his vision wavering even though he was trying his hardest to lock eyes with one of his experimenters. Someone please! Anyone! Help me!

“Moblit, administer .5 of meloxicil.” Hange said, reacting to Eren’s change in behavior. They wanted him sedated and in as little pain as possible. This was the easy part of their experiment, They couldn't afford to stress the patient out any more than necessary. Retaining his resilience was a vital part of accomplishing the end goal. 

The cocksleeve relentlessly slid over Eren’s erection, and he felt his urge to resist simmer down. He felt his muscles unclench, his body now completely slack. The pleasure of having his cock fucked was simmering to the top, his feelings of violation no longer in the forefront of his mind. All that he could think of was how good it felt to be milked and sucked. The pleasure built up, threatening to swallow him until he released a wave of hot cum into the mouth of the tube. He groaned like an animal, head thrown back and mouth wide open, his toes curling so strongly they ached. 

Whatever they gave him, it decreased how sensitive he was post-orgasm in addition to making him compliant. Eren was in a cycle of cumming and almost cumming, his abdominal muscles clenching so hard he thought he could puke. He had cum so much, the tube sucking it away as soon as he climaxed. It felt so good, he loved watching the machine stroke him and milk him, it was unbelievable how fat his cock had grown. Was the suction making him even bigger? His fucked out mind hoped so, he hoped the machine would milk and pump his erection till it was red and angry and pulsing. 

Eren was shaking, his body struggling to keep up with the intense pleasure. How long has it been? The roaring lust he had been feeling was simmering down, pittering out into a low fire.

“Put it on desist mode, we have enough.” The machine slowed, fucking the very last drops of cum from Eren’s swollen cock. He sighed with relief when Moblit removed it from his crotch after a few minutes. His fucked out brain yearned for the sensation again, but he couldn't deny how nice it felt to have a break from being milked dry. He felt achy, no matter how much drugs had been pumped into his system. He wanted to lie down somewhere soft, with a pillow, blanket, and nice silky sheets.

“You did a great job Eren, we’re going to let you rest now. You have earned it.” Hange said. 

The last thing Eren saw before he passed out again was the sight of Armin, separated by thick glass, strapped down to a bed, barely conscious.

Why Capacitive Proximity Sensors Are Perfect for Detecting Liquids and Powders

In industries that rely on precise material handling and level monitoring such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and packaging accurate detection of non-metallic substances like liquids and powders is critical. Unlike inductive sensors that detect only metal objects, capacitive proximity sensors offer a reliable and versatile solution for sensing a wide range of materials, including granular and fluid substances. Here’s why these sensors are ideal for such applications.

How Capacitive Proximity Sensors Work

Capacitive proximity sensors operate by detecting shifts in capacitance when an object enters their sensing field. When an object (solid, liquid, or powder) enters the sensor’s electric field, the capacitance value changes. The sensor detects this variation and sends a signal, indicating the presence of a target.

These sensors do not require direct contact and can even sense through non-metallic containers a significant advantage when working with delicate, messy, or hazardous materials.

Key Benefits in Liquid and Powder Detection

1. Non-Contact Sensing

Capacitive proximity sensors can detect materials without touching them. This is especially useful in applications where hygiene or contamination must be strictly controlled such as in food or pharmaceutical processing.

2. Detects Through Container Walls

Capacitive sensors can detect through plastic, glass, or thin non-metallic walls of containers and tanks, making them perfect for monitoring liquid levels without direct exposure to the substance.

3. Highly Sensitive

These sensors are sensitive enough to detect even low-dielectric constantmaterials like fine powders, oils, and even paper. This gives them greater versatility compared to many other types of sensors.

4. Compact and Easy to Install

Capacitive proximity sensors are generally compact and lightweight. They can be easily mounted into machines or containers and are available in various shapes and sizes to fit specific needs.

5. Adjustable Sensitivity

Most capacitive sensors offer manual or automatic sensitivity adjustments, allowing you to fine-tune detection based on the density and distance of the target material.

What Are Common Types of Viscometers and Their Working Principles?

In fluid dynamics, viscosity is a property that has a major effect on the behavior of various liquids and substances, making it a major parameter of interest for applications involving fluid flow. This is because the viscosity of a working fluid will have a direct impact on performance across various systems and equipment, regardless of whether one is working with lubricating oils in an engine, paints in an industrial setting, or adhesives for manufacturing. To evaluate these properties, personnel commonly rely on instruments known as viscometers to provide accurate readings for a number of materials. These tools come in numerous forms to suit specific applications and requirements, so understanding common options and their respective functions is often essential when selecting between various devices. As we will cover some of the most notable viscometers available on the market in this blog, read on to learn about their respective working principles, common uses, and best practices for use.

What Is Viscosity?

To comprehend the role of viscometers, it is first important to understand what viscosity itself entails. Viscosity generally refers to the internal friction of a fluid, though more precisely, it is the measure of its resistance to gradual deformation resulting from shear or tensile stress. Therefore, this property can be used to determine how quickly or slowly a fluid will flow under applied force. While highly viscous substances like honey are known for their slow flow, low-viscosity fluids like water move with ease as a result of little resistance.

Several factors can influence the general viscosity of a fluid, including:

Temperature: Increasing the temperature of a fluid will generally lead to a decrease in viscosity, while cooling it will often do the opposite.

Pressure: For fluids like gases, viscosity tends to increase with pressure. Meanwhile, liquids are less affected by pressure unless subjected to extreme levels.

Composition: The chemical makeup and molecular structure of a particular fluid can greatly impact its viscosity, with polymer-heavy fluids being good examples of substances that have high viscosities as a result of their complex molecular chains.

What Are Common Types of Viscometers and Their Applications?

There are various viscometers available on the market, each being designed to suit particular fluid types and/or testing requirements. Below are some of the most widely used options that one should familiarize themselves with:

Capillary Viscometers

Also known as Ostwald viscometers, capillary viscometers derive their readings from the time it takes a volume of fluid to flow through a thin, U-shaped tube under gravity. By comparing the time it takes for fluids to pass between two marked points with calibrated constants, a fairly reliable result can be found.

This makes capillary variants a fairly simple option for determining fluid viscosity for a number of materials, especially for Newtonian fluids that have constant viscosity regardless of shear rate. Generally speaking, one will find these tools in laboratories, where they are used to measure light oils, solvents, and other low-viscosity Newtonian fluids.

Rotational Viscometers

Rotational viscometers are used to measure viscosity based on the amount of torque it takes to rotate a spindle or disc within the measured fluid. For testing, a spindle will be immersed in a fluid and rotated at a set speed, with torque resistance being measured to determine viscosity.

Rotational viscometers are ideal for measuring both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, including paints, gels, slurries, and much more. Generally speaking, one will commonly find them within industries like food processing, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Falling Ball Viscometers

Falling ball viscometers are another common option for viscosity measurement, where readings can be achieved through the observation of how long it takes a ball to fall in a fluid under gravity. This is usually done in a vertical glass tube, where two points are used to create an accurate reading based on Stoke’s Law. This method of measurement is best suited for transparent or translucent Newtonian fluids like oils and certain polymer solutions, where the user can visually track the speed and submersion of the ball.

Falling Piston Viscometers

Falling piston viscometers are often used for testing high-viscosity fluids, doing so by measuring the time it takes for a piston to fall through a fluid under a controlled vacuum. This is similar to a falling ball viscometer, differing in that piston variations are more suitable for heavy oils, hydraulic fluids, and other similar substances. One will often find these tools in automotive settings, where lubricants may be tested for performance.

Tips for Preparing and Conducting Viscometer Readings

To ensure the most accurate viscosity readings, proper preparation and handling procedures are essential. Below are several recommended practices that one can follow to improve their own operations:

Tool Selection: Be sure to choose your viscometer based on the fluid’s viscosity range and whether the fluid is Newtonian or non-Newtonian.

Temperature Control: Always be sure to maintain a consistent and appropriate temperature during testing, as accurate viscosity readings are highly temperature-dependent.

Sample Preparation: Ensure that the fluid sample you are using is homogeneous and free of bubbles, debris, or any contaminants that could affect flow behavior or readings.

Calibration: Regularly calibrate the viscometer you are using with certified reference fluids to maintain measurement accuracy.

Clean Equipment: Clean viscometers thoroughly after each use to prevent cross-contamination between samples.

Where You Can Secure Quality Testing Tools

With fluid viscosity playing a vital role in everything from product development and quality control to general system performance, it is essential to have access to the right viscometers and supporting tools to uphold operations. For those seeking high-quality testing instruments for maintenance and servicing, it is important to work with a distributor that offers proven reliability and broad part availability.

These meters are frequently deployed in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations across the oil and gas, petrochemical, and energy sectors. Their ability to handle high flow rates, varying fluid properties, and wide pressure ranges makes them adaptable to both gaseous and liquid custody transfer applications.

Reliability, Cost-Efficiency, and Lifecycle Benefits

From an operational perspective, orifice flow meters are favored not only for their accuracy but also for their low lifecycle cost. With no moving parts, these meters require minimal maintenance. Calibration is straightforward, and components such as the orifice plate can be easily inspected or replaced if necessary.

Compared to ultrasonic or Coriolis meters, which may offer higher accuracy in some applications, orifice meters strike a balance between performance and cost effectiveness, making them ideal for large-scale or remote installations where simplicity and durability are critical.

Enhancing System Integrity with Best Practices

To achieve optimal accuracy in custody transfer, proper meter installation and configuration are essential. This includes ensuring sufficient straight pipe runs upstream and downstream of the orifice plate, correct orientation of the plate itself, and routine calibration and verification procedures.

In modern metering systems, orifice flow meters are often paired with flow conditioners, smart transmitters, and remote monitoring systems to reduce uncertainty and improve diagnostic capabilities. These enhancements not only improve the reliability of the data but also support predictive maintenance and early fault detection.

Conclusion

In the world of custody transfer, where every cubic meter counts, the need for reliable, accurate, and standards-compliant measurement instruments cannot be overstated. Orifice flow meters offer a time-tested solution that meets the technical and regulatory demands of high-value fluid transactions. Their simplicity, combined with modern integration capabilities, ensures they remain a critical asset in any custody transfer metering system.
