Chapter 14

Berliana watched as the large screen in front of her displayed the soon-to-be completed human robot frame. She couldn't wait to see it and was a little impatient to make it all come to life but at the moment it took time. Making robots like this couldn't be haphazard, or they would be in trouble if the quality didn't match the budget.

"Fortunately, everything is still within the budget given by the government because the budget goes into the laboratory class and is directly held by Miss Berliana. If it had gone into the pockets of the mayor's family then he would have been in charge of spreading it all around maybe things wouldn't have worked out like this."

A Professor spoke up in the crowd making Berliana turn her head slightly to listen to their conversation without getting involved.

"Right, like the making of the electric car a few years ago where the money went into the mayor's pocket and he was the one who distributed it for some things directly. Now the electric car has even broken down and can't be used because the spare parts are difficult and also not strong enough to be carried for a long time. Even the mayor here is getting too involved in infrastructure development and technological facilities. I can see that he has gone beyond his limits by doing things that are not within his own realm."

"Actually, it can be seen that the government is also getting tired of them. That's why it's directly handing over this task to us and Miss Berliana as responsible. That's because they no longer trust the Stennys family who deliberately lied to the government on the pretext that they had done many things and had also provided help to the president. It sounds very embarrassing but they confidently said it."

The professor shook his head after discussing it because they knew the truth. If only the president was more assertive, but there were also many people who already idolized the Stennys and even looked up to them as role models. If it weren't for the fact that they were capable people, the mayor would have been dumped long ago and replaced with someone else.

You can't blame the government either because of how many people look up to them. This country is really cared for like a kingdom where you can't just drop and remove someone from office without a clear reason.

The government, on the other hand, is very busy and has no ability to investigate and look at evidence that they can use to bring down the family.

"In fact, it is only a matter of demoting but it is very difficult for the government here. There is too much regard for merit when he doesn't have to do all that and doesn't need to get this much favor. Helping the president's life is very good but the president should also understand that this place is not his own that he can manage as he pleases. Even the king wouldn't let a useless person continue to occupy a high position and cause great harm." Berliana muttered with a shake of her head.

But she knew that what the government was considering was even better than the people defecting. The people asked not knowing what was needed because everything was still too complicated to discuss.

"After all of this is done and well underway I will form the president to straighten his mind. Doing too much good and forgetting the benefits is not a good thing. In the long run, this country could be destroyed if it relies on repaying services that should not be used for state affairs. Repaying services should also be personal, not national. The government seems to have to be taught to know how to make everything according to the rules."

They are a rich country but strangely seem unable to do anything life-changing. They could if they wanted to but it seemed like they were deliberately making things complicated and that of course left Berliana clueless about how things worked.

She who lived and studied in other majors of course sometimes couldn't understand that deeply but when viewed from what the government and the president had decided everything still didn't make sense to understand.

Maybe the president did see the ability of Uncle Jeffrey Stennys before, but because he didn't have anything so he was made an official and his mission also fell apart when he took office. If he had looked bad before he took office, the president would have thought twice.

The president must be an unpleasant person and that makes things messy.

"The frame of the elbow uses some soft materials that can be applied freely and are not rigid like the robots you saw before. In any case, all of this is already easier because in the future it will only be about the structure. At least it needs development and refinement just to see what is not good and how it will go. Even though they are robots, we have to make them like humans with a similarity level that reaches around 60 to 70%. We can't make them like rigid objects that only move when they need energy, because that will only hinder everything and the work will also not be done optimally."

Some of the professors are learning more about the sketches that they will be launching in a few days. They are currently making 10 sample robots that will be the result of their work over the next few days. The steel assembly department was also working and they were using high-quality steel that was also slightly flexible like rattan. Steel is so expensive, they use it all over a long period of time.

"Does it need heating to make the steel soften? Because the steel will only soften if it is hot and that has quite an impact. Just like a vehicle with an engine, every morning we have to heat it up first to carry it. However, it will be easier if we do and we will know better how to use it."

Berliana nodded but then she smiled. "We use iron that isn't very thick and is only flat or round. So tomorrow I'll make sure we don't use everything in a form that makes a lot of energy wasted on heating. I've understood and made a material that can be used. We'll put this material into each unit and this way it can make heating faster and more efficient.

"If we basically make everything heat up for a long time and waste a lot of energy. Then we don't have to do that but we can make it two days or three days once and then heat it up again. This also saves and also will not every day waste the power or energy needed. This robot will be able to work within 8 hours and 4 hours of charging process and the rest of the time to collect the embedded energy. We can say it is like in cooling mode to make things better again.

"The charging is also very easy, every time we close the active part then in the inactive state it will not turn on again and we are included in the charging process. So there will be no such thing as forgetting to charge just because humans who optimize everything are few. The small population makes us have to be clever and make the robot as perfect as possible which will make everything more real. I understand everything and it's great if we use techniques like this because we are underpopulated, it can't be arbitrary if you want to make everything fit. If there are many humans who can charge these robots then it will be easier and there is no need to make robots. It's only because we're underpopulated that I keep trying to optimize everything and this method is really quite helpful."

They all nodded at Berliana's words. It could be clearly seen that the girl was smart, but everything could not be stopped if not for those who still needed it.

"Is this robot environmentally friendly and won't depopulate the environment?"

Berliana smiled at the question from one of the lab staff. "The materials are environmentally friendly and it only uses electricity. It doesn't cause smoke and won't create waste. As I said, it can be used for 8 hours and it takes 4 hours to recharge every day. In this concept, going in at 8:00 am and going out at 5:00 pm will make things easier and it will also automatically recharge. The remaining energy will be accumulated and will join the new energy that comes in due to charging.

"It will not create waste and will not pollute the environment. We have been living with electricity for hundreds of years and there has never been too much of a problem. If electric cars can be taken outdoors and drive on the roads through every inch of land in this country, then robots that will work indoors or outdoors are also safer and more environmentally friendly. There's nothing to worry about because it's an environmentally friendly robot and I'm also making filters. All of that will ease the process and the work we have."

They nodded and noted down all the points before finally leaving the meeting room again to continue the research and creation of the robot.

In the president's room, with several staff around, they could hear Berliana's talks and presentations. The president's face broke into a smile as he realized that Berliana truly had the skills of a recognized expert.

"After years of unreliable officials and people, God is finally helping our country to make things better with Miss Berliana. I really can't wait, she will be able to do all of this and I believe our country will definitely become the greatest country if she becomes one of the officials who take care of all sorts of technology and industry." The president said making them all nod.

"Of course, the Artificial Intelligence Research Agency would not arbitrarily give someone the title and honor of an expert. Miss Berliana has served for many years and was finally recognized because she has the ability and determination. We can't let her go to be used by an outside government, it's already very difficult to find talented people, so we just need to make things easy."

The president nodded at his deputy's words. He looked seriously at Berliana's face who was unconsciously being scrutinized, as they had placed a self-moving camera that captured all the professors' activities.

"After she finishes developing everything, I will schedule a private meeting with her. He is someone who has the ability and I would appreciate it if everything goes as expected."

They talked some more before finally moving to Jeff's room. There the man looked lazy and only knew to lend his eyes while leaning back in the chair.

The President sighed at the sight of him, before massaging his own forehead which felt so tired.

"I'll find a way to get him to step down from that position but I can't be careless or there will be people who claim that I've been getting intake from others. I also don't want to be seen as someone who has no compassion. If things go well in the future and the diamonds can be trusted to be big projects like this and everything goes smoothly without any significant hitches, I won't be afraid to fire them and lower their standard of living to the same low as before."

None of them spoke up because the President's decision was irrefutable. The president had been trying and taking care of things, of course that was also something that they could not underestimate even though he was only the president.
