Chapter 14

After looking at the screen at this time Berliana could clearly see the projector that reflected the shape of the body and how the figure of the treatment they were going to build. There was a clear view using science goggles that the meeting had already formed tissue and layers but this was just a mirage that they could use as a clue and what they could add in the making later.

The assembly of the robot was not yet complete so they had to really work hard in these few days.

"Everything is in order and there should not be a single missing piece of metal that we will glue together to make the robot figure it needs. After that, there will be small developments as the robot starts to move and those will become drafts that we will use for further development."

They took notes on some parts, recording and seeing exactly what they had developed so far. Berliana, who had spent quite some time creating everything, decided to rest a bit more today.

"Tomorrow we're doing a presentation in front of the government and it's all pretty serious stuff to do so no mistakes. Tomorrow is all the trust we can take from it so don't make a mess of things at least we should be able to see things through to the end because that's the most important thing."

They nodded, letting Berliana go home first since she had been here since last night. Berliana didn't go home because she was catching up with the concept and system of the shadow projector she was working on, because with that and the sooner everything was done, the more her development and project would be accepted.

Tomorrow is the day of the presentation in front of the government representatives, after which there will be a presentation outside to show the community that their development is acceptable. It's not an easy thing to do but the people who have decided that they don't want to have children so this is happening now, accepting robots as a replacement is something they have to accept even though it sounds like a strange and difficult thing.

"Is there anything else to do? Now that Miss Berliana has gone home, we can only wait for her to come back again to make new things. Now we'll try to help her with some of the things we were discussing. Miss Berliana is already struggling and we can only help her with a few things. Do some research to make things easier for us. Since tomorrow we're going to make a presentation to the government and its representatives we need to be well prepared.

"We are here to work together, we can't just let Miss Berliana do it on her own. We have to really pay attention to everything and we help her with some things that might be needed. After the assembly is done and the government representatives come and everything is taken care of, then we can make it work and rest for a while. With that, it will be easy for us to do without making these mistakes."

They nodded, doing what they could to help Berliana who had made a huge difference to them. At least right now they needed that to make things easier. Meanwhile Berliana was seen entering a convenience store and buying food that she could eat at home because it was so tiring.

"Ah, this chocolate drink tastes really good." Berliana sighed after drinking her drink. "I haven't checked anymore about the video footage generated from the CCTVs I placed in several corners. I deliberately left it to roam first in case it could show some signs. I'm already very tired tonight so I don't want to have to suffer any more disturbances."

Berliana leaned her body and sighed, it was very tiring especially since she was the one who organized the creation and project of this human robot. She didn't have a cheerleader, only a robot Victor who was silent and even if he made a sound, he had to be activated first.

Berliana couldn't find another man who would make her happy, her heart seemed to be stuck on Victor who had been dead for years.

"Can I get a robot who is understanding and will never leave me? I also need affection but I can't do it with another man. I only like Victor and his feelings, but can I make things the same as before?"

Leaving the courtyard of the convenience store. Berliana walked home and decided to rest soon. Tomorrow was the day she was going to make a presentation in front of the government and she was chasing all the targets she wanted. Soon she would get everything she had hoped for, that could never be denied but she was still not sure if Victor's robot would be able to resemble the real Victor in some way?

"Most robots that are created are rigid and only know a few missions. Victor may not be able to do everything for me, I still have a lot of development and research to do for future improvements. Every year I will definitely learn and every day I have to learn many things. It's very difficult..."

Berliana sighed, sitting in her spot with a tired face. She knew she couldn't do it but she was sure she could do it. Ya had arrived in front of her house and lazily entered, just looking at the front and the few vehicles belonging to the people who lived in the neighborhood passing by.

Their country wasn't really quiet but that was because the size of their country didn't make it too quiet either. Currently, the main focus was to increase the population, as well as getting people to marry and give birth to offspring. That was important because if they wanted something big then they had to make it all make sense.

"I wanted to get married so badly but Victor died instead, otherwise I would have given birth to children for this country. But what can be expected from a country that has no future? Treating everything like a game and never thinking about anything? They only pursue wealth but after that how will they give it away? It's all in vain because there are no children or descendants to whom this wealth will be given."

That's what Berliana saw, people who just took everything for granted. Like something that doesn't need to be discussed, because after all they know that everything is going well. The government program is also very good but no one wants to take it because the requirement is to get married and have children.

Does it all seem so horrible? Abroad there is a place in America where Berliana can clearly see how happy people have offspring and cute children. Strangely enough, in their country it seemed like a taboo to do so.

"Well, they don't want to so what else can we do. Slowly, hopefully, we can change the mindset and thoughts in people's lives. All of this is of course easy to do, after this human robot program is finished I also don't mind if I have to take care of this society. In fact, it would be much better to be close to the President so that we can talk about the program and all the plans that I have developed.

"I should do it slowly and not rush, I know I still have plenty of time. As long as I'm not dead, then I can do everything. It won't be difficult because I'm sure there will be ease and I just need to make things easier and make sense. They've only gotten the doctrine from the old people's lives about marriage being unpleasant, surely I can make things different from what they think. After all this, I hope to have an easier life and a more lively society in the next few years."

Rising from her seat, Berliana went inside and cleaned up. She felt full from eating in the convenience store earlier so she went straight to bed because tomorrow she also needed enough energy to make a presentation and show the government that the project and process were getting closer to perfection.

Besides that, she also wanted to feel the touch that she had been feeling the last few nights. And sure enough, towards midnight she could feel someone grasping her hand so warmly. But she could feel that the skin holding her was quite cold like something newly lit.

Not wanting to wake up and open her eyes because this figure would surely disappear, Berliana instead felt comfortable with his touch especially since she was very sleepy from staying up all night at the research office. Deciding to sleep and let the figure become more and more entrenched in her so that tomorrow she could see from the CCTV who exactly had touched her while sleeping like this.

***

Berliana rounded her eyes, staring at who was there with such a shocked look. Right now she could clearly see that the figure who had come was a vectorized drug with the same properties as a human. Even if Berliana remembered that this man was dead then she could think that it was Victor.

"How can he light up? I've put it in a dormant state. Is there someone who has infiltrated and made it move on purpose to disturb me?"

Berliana paused and opened her tablet to check the system. Victor's robot system which she had stored and connected to the details there in order to be able to see if any parts of the machine and its controls were damaged. But after checking there was no sign of any company that made the robot lose control.

Moreover, when she checked it in the room, why not it was also still standing upright in its original place as if it had never left there.

"Looks like I've been played. I'll have to install a hidden camera here so that there's no sign and there's strong evidence that he's actually gone and did all this to me on purpose."

Berliana looked seriously at the robot in front of her and didn't see it move for even a few minutes. That made her pick up the tablet and walk outside and turn on the camera that she had hidden in it earlier. That way even if Robot Victor did intend to watch what Berliana was doing, he wouldn't know because Berliana was doing it through a remote automated system and controller.

Today she couldn't be late, the robot assembler had also arrived at the office so she had to get there as soon as possible. But before that she had installed earphones and a camera on her glasses. A camera that could allow him to see the movements taking place inside his research room.

As she walked towards the office building where she worked, there was no sign of the robot moving. She even did a presentation and showed all her work to the government calmly because Jeff didn't do anything that day. She looked so calm and paid attention to all the presentations given by Berliana.

But the look she gave Jeff told him directly that he had already admitted defeat and no longer wanted to do anything.

"What I'm working on is that the control system and sensors are still being manufactured and assembled. It will take longer but in the future it will be easier because all the skeletons and other systems have been assembled. Later, I will provide a summary and deliver it to the Presidential Palace because it has not been completed yet. Even if I'm allowed to, because I know everything needs an intermediary but I can't deliver all this with the help of others." Berliana's words ended her presentation.

Everyone there was seen applauding, with the vice president coming over and shaking her hand.

"The president admires you very much and of course won't mind if you come and tell him in person what files and summaries are needed. If you need any help, please let us know immediately, I will entrust this project to you in the future."
