The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao rode his car, and he had already communicated with RALF to clear the parking elevator of the Dao Technologies office. and unhinge the glass panels of the lap space.

The AI has followed the commands and began to work. While the boy himself drove the car slowly back to the building. His first project was going to start with the car itself. He had yet to tell anyone what he had in his mind. Frieda Foster was the person in charge of the lab space. When the staff was cleared out and the bots started to unhinge the glass panels around the door, she was curious and asked.

RALF only replied, “Boss’s orders.”

Yang Dao had placed a top-secret bar on this project and none were allowed to know before completion. An hour later, the car drove inside the parking of the building. The dedicated elevator was empty and reserved for Yang Dao.

This elevator had a space big enough to park a car. The boy did just that and drove his car inside the elevator as soon as RALF opened the doors for him remotely. The CCTV was blackened out for a second and no one was aware that Yang Dao had moved his car inside the elevator.

The elevator moved up and Frieda was shocked to see Yang Dao moving out his car from it. The boy drove out of the car in reverse and parked inside the lab space. He got out f the car and said, “RALF, get the car up and do away with the tires. Remove the engine and driveshaft. Everything except the interior and the nanobot protection devices is to be removed. We are going to overhaul this girl.”

The bot moved instantly. They moved forward and started to remove parts carefully. Frieda Foster stepped forward and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Yang Dao replied, “Maglev. Time has come to change the automobile and also make it pollution-free.”

Frieda asked, “What will you use for the fuel?”

The boy just smiled mysteriously and did not say anything. He only said, “You will know soon. I have to get this done in a week, so if you do not mind, leave the lab for me. This level is not allowed to be visited by anyone. You have a paid vacation.”

Frieda Foster said, “I can be of help, do not throw me away.” she made a pitiful face and said, “Okay, you can go and rest in your accommodation room. Do not come and ask me stuff.”

The girl nodded and went back to her room. This guy was too strict. Yang Dao also closed his eyes on the world outside and began to work on the car. Whenever he was too bored with the car work, he would fill up his final project pages. The reports and the projects for all the four courses were to be completed by him in this one week.

The projects of his choice were.

A mobile phone that did not need hands to be carried. Just put it on your ear, like an earphone, and it will work. The main element of this project was the holographic projector. RALF was capable of lithography and the level was far exceeding the most advanced machines they had. This was going to be sent in the computer applications.

The maglev car was for physics. It was time to shock the old man Newton. He also had projects for his minor courses, but they were not to be highlighted. He buried himself inside the lab space and he did not communicate with anyone. The calls and texts were all replied to by the AI. Feng Yun told him that the negotiations with the government will be sealed within a week.

Usually, these matters would be slow, but Feng Yun had kept in mind that Yang Dao wanted to do something big in the coming week and made an offer that the government could not refuse. This was not only from the business standpoint. She also made offers on the other aspects of the Nuclear fusion plant.

The security and a lot of other things such as maintenance. The company did not ask for a dime of profit, but only to recover the cost they have put in to build the whole thing and the operations. The other thing she proposed was to use the profit from this plant to construct three more such plants.

Each plant was capable of fulfilling the needs of the quarter of the nation. They will also be using other means of energy generation. Solar power and tidal energy generation were on the list and so was recycling.

The government heard all these projects, and they were surprised by the drastic change presented by the Phoenix Group on paper. They were all leaders and could speculate about the future based on the projects they approved. If the company can achieve even fifty percent of the said plans, then they will be grateful for the better version of the country. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

The company proposed to only be responsible for the maintenance of the projects and not take a single penny from the profits. The government did not have any objections. Thus, the agreement was reached. The companies taking part in the projects will have to divide among themselves within the fifty percent shares they were allocated, while the other fifty percent belonged to the government.

Feng Yun had completed her task in the die time and was magnificent at that. The next news came from Mary’s end that she had completed her task as well. The metal and plastic recycling plants were all acquired by her. She did not know what the boy wanted to do, but she followed the command without a doubt.

Yurika had also completed her task of buying the patches of areas in mountains, water, forest, and the desert. The area was not too big but still, it was enough to make the people shock when they were negotiating. Yang Dao nodded and asked her to get another thing done.

He wanted her to get permission from the government to make demolishable constructs in these patches of land. The constructs will be all eco-friendly and if the land deed cannot be extended, the constructs will be taken down.

Yurika questioned him about what he was thinking, but the girl was denied. The land was found in four parts of the country. The central deserts, the northern mountains, the southern sea, and the eastern forest.

The final day came and Yang Dao was also done with his work. RALF was capable of running millions of simulations in a day to make sure that the procedure was correct and that it will not fail in a small time. The equipment they had developed could be said to be the prototypes, but they must all not be half-assed.

Frieda has been living inside her room for the past week, fighting the urge to go out and suck Yang Dao’s brain dry, but the guy had a bot staring at her door. As soon as she even opened the door Yang Dao would say, “Go back inside, it is not done yet.”

How was she to deal with something like this? Today she counted that it was the seventh day and opened the door. The bot was gone. She scurried her way to the lab area, wearing her grey pajamas and rabbit-shaped slippers. She found a car standing in the lab and ignored it, then she turned around to look for Yang Dao but found him nowhere. Suddenly, the lights of the car flickered at her.

Frieda raised her hand to cover her eyes and her eyes looked down. The scene froze there. She found that the car had no tires around it. The tire holes have been covered and painted with similar black paint. The car looked so elegant that she had no words to describe it. She walked forward and caressed the curves.

Yang Dao opened the door and came outside of the floating car. He asked, “What do you think?”

Frieda said, “This is truly magnificent. Tell me, can you travel in time?” her expression was that of awe and respect.

Yang Dao chuckled and said, “No, hahaha, I am not a time traveler. But I have a bot that can calculate and simulate things that take people years or decades in weeks.”

Frieda nodded and said, “You are a genius.”

The boy did not reply, and the girl continued to ask, “Does this vehicle work?”

Yang Dao replied, “According to the simulations, yes. In reality, I am yet to try.”

Frieda said, “What are you waiting for!! Let us go, make a dream out of reality. Shatter this reality, that is not the dream.” she was excited.

Yang Dao said with a chuckle, “Senior Frieda, you do not look like it but you are quite a poet.”

The two people laughed and then they got into the car.
