The people nodded when Yang Dao issued a gag order. They all understood the gravity of the situation. If this AI tech was leaked, it will cause a shockwave that, if not handled properly in the slightest, could shake the foundation of The Phoenix group. 

Despite being an Independent company, Dao Technologies had great cooperation with the Phoenix Group. After all, the two owners were siblings in the public eye. So, Yang Dao did not want to stain the name of Feng Yun. 

As the five people were thinking about the plausible future directions of growth, they heard a buzzing sound. Frieda had used the big 3-D printer to create a prototype body. The thing she was struggling with was the coding aspect. She did not stop when Yang Dao commanded RALF to optimize the body structure. 

She understood that the body designed by a human designer will have a lot of flaws and will take a lot of tests and research to develop a new body. However, RALF saved them the trouble and was optimized the skeletal design of the prototype model. The lab was fitted with two printers and both of them were in use at the moment. 

Kylie Dew could not help but asked, "Dao, how come these small parts will create a body?" 

Yang Dao shook his head and said, "RALF, you have the permission to answer the questions intended for you." 

The laptop replied, "Yes, Administrator." then it paused and replied, "What I did right now is just to optimize the design of the prototype body. We only need to reconfigure these parts inside and the machine will improve significantly." 

Frieda asked, "How did you obtain the conclusion?" 

RALF replied, "Date simulation. I ran a thousand combinations of data to optimize this body." 

Frieda asked again, "How did you obtain the data?" 

"Modelling Formula, derived by calculating the various parts of the prototype," RALF replied. 

The blonde beauty was completely smitten with this AI. she wanted to play more but she understood that it was using remote processing for the work so she could only hold her curiosity. She turned to Yang Dao and said, "Boy, you sure you are normal?" 

Yang Dao just smiled at her with a smile. He had no intention of explaining things to her. Soon the 3-D printers stopped. The precision robots were programmed to assemble the parts into a body. Yang Dao did not have much to do, he only sat down on the chair and watched how RALF handled the robotic arm remotely and assembled a robot behind the protection glass. 

Suddenly, Kylie Dew exclaimed. Everyone turned to face her and she said, 'Excuse me." the lady was so immersed in the operations inside the lab that she had forgotten everything. Just now her cellphone vibrated in the breast pocket of her shirt and brought her back from the fantasy land. She checked the content and said, "Dao, I will be going back to the Uni, I have an urgent class to attend." 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Should I see you off?" 

Kylie Dew shook her head and said, "I can manage. Also, you have to turn in a project this semester you know. I will be expecting something good." 

Yang Dao smiled and still escorted her to the elevator out of politeness. She was keeping his big secret under wraps so this much courtesy was needed. After dropping Kylie Dew to the elevator, he made his way back to the robotics lab and saw that the robotic body was already finished. 

The arms were just screwing up a led display on the 'head' of the bot. The whole bot was one meter high, it looked like a midget. The outer shell of the body was made of carbon fiber and it was black in color. The robotic arms moved the complete bot to the safe area. Frieda jumped like a cat and inserted the plug of the transmission wire inside the bot's body. 

The bot was powered by a lithium-ion battery. It was easy to charge as they placed the charging coils in the feet. The bot will just need to stand on the wireless charger and TADA. The bot was fixed with two 20 megapixel camera's equipped with thermal, and infrared sensors, one on the back of the head and one in the front for a 360-degree view, the hands of the bot had a texture of a human hand. It was like a rubber glove covering the hands. This was done to make it gentle to touch someone. 

RALF was transferring the code data inside the body very quickly. The LED display covering the camera was see-through from the inside. At this moment, the lights on the display were showing a light circle in completion. 

Yurika said, "Dao, why is the body so small?"

Yang Dao replied, "To make it more acceptable. People like children." his voice was calm and this was the idea behind this bot. It was an experiment and if it is a small-sized thing the people may still be very happy to have this thing inside their homes. Humans were weird creatures, they would be scared of what they did not understand, however, if the out appearance is genial enough, they will not hesitate much to try it. 

It is similar to them being scared of a rat snake, which is non-poisonous, but at the same time eat some poisonous fruit, because it is a fruit and it doesn't move. 

After half an hour the program codes were all installed in the storage disk of the robot. The bot started with a black and white Dao symbol spinning on the screen and then a pleasant voice sounded, "Hello, everyone, I am Neo, your house care unit. What can I do for you?"

Frieda was so excited that she had her mouth covered with her hands, yet her exclamation was audible. Yang Dao shook his head and said, "Neo, can you scan all the people here and see if they are all healthy?" 

The robot replied, "Yes sir." the bot walked close to Yang Dao and stretched his hand. The motion was very fluid and controlled. It said, "May I take your pulse?" 

Yang Dao nodded and held out his own hand. The bot placed his two index fingers on the wrist and after a minute it said, "Your pulse is normal, sir. Your facial experience does no indicate you to be having any discomfort." 

Yang Dao nodded and pointed towards Frieda, "Check her please." 

Neo turned around on its axis, as if a military soldier, however, the movement was fluid. After checking the pulse of the lady, the bot said, "Madam, your pulse is high, looking at your expanding pupil and elevated breather. I suggest you calm down. Either you are excited or you are hyperventilating." 

Mary could not help but mumble, "Sick." 

The bot turned to face Mary and asked, "Madam, do you feel any discomfort?" 

Yurika chuckled and said, "Dao, give it puffy cheeks it is so cute." 

The boy only rolled his eyes at her. Yang Dao said, "Call for a press conference ASAP. We are taking him out. Live field play. Before opening for the sale, let the people know what our product is about. We are not seeking funds or profit but we are certainly seeking value price (Similar to stocks) to rise." 

Mary smirked and said, "Consider it done, also, now is lunchtime. You take a meal and then you have a meeting with the graphene research team."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Senior Frieda, let us have some food. Come on." 

The girl was reluctantly dragged away from the lab to the cafeteria of the company by Yang Dao. The mess was very active when the boss walked in. The treatment given to the employees was top notch and none could have messed it up. Yang Dao and Frieda ate the food while talking about other potential projects the girl had in her mind. 

Yang Dao told her that they can take it easy and research first before they create too many robots, after all, the presence of robots will change society's outlook all of a sudden. Frieda agreed to it and ate a satisfying meal. 

Later, Yang Dao headed to the conference room. He had commanded RALF to print out the material and directives for the experimentation on carbon particles. The AI was smart enough. When Yang Dao commanded it to self-learn, he had already set up the priority to learn and prove this issue. 

This material was very much needed by him to escalate the future growth of the country's infrastructure. At this moment a few old scientists were sitting in the conference room waiting for Yang Dao to appear. These people were all part of the Phoenix research center and were loaned to Yang Dao for this project. 

The boy pushed open the door of the conference room and the meeting began.
