Spelling Distance And Limitations

Episode 4 of Red Twilight

"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own absence"

~Frederick Douglass

“Hey, how are you?” Ask someone who greets Professor Arion.

Professor Arion was surprised by a special officer in front of him who was suddenly familiar.

“Good, thank you. Sorry who is this?” The professor said without guilt.

Professor Arion felt he had never recognized a special officer dressed in front of him.

Secretly Professor Arion observed the face of the person in front of him. Her hair was brownish-ish with light gray eyes. His smile was firm and pleasing. His body was well-built, probably five centimeters taller than that of Professor Arion.

His figure was like Max Tiger the knight of the Zelinekia Kingdom. But where is it possible? Professor Arion almost laughed as he imagined that the person in front of him was a famous hero. Of course it's impossible.

“Jeez, I'm Andre. Your college friend,” said the special officer in front of him chuckling in disbelief that Professor Arion does not remember him.

Professor Arion's eyes flashed and blinked for a moment. A smile flashed before turning into a crisp laugh.

“Yes God! I guess who. Right, I remember. Yeah, I remember. You're that gondrong Andre,” Professor Arion laughed before he continued his words.

“Before when I observed I thought you were Max Tigerl, the hero of the Zelinekia Kingdom. But after I thought again, it would be impossible if a hero wanted to become a special officer in the Laboratory? Your cut really hasn't changed and I forgot, ” Professor Arion continued with his laughter.

“Yeah! You are, too complicated his thinking. To the extent that things like this are imaginary and thought too deeply,” said Mr. Andre shook his head.

They both shook hands and smiled. They continued the conversation until noon. Didn't expect two old friends to meet again in the same job.

The atmosphere that had been tense because of work, now melted away just like that.

At noon after lunch, Mr. Andre walked towards Professor Arion's room. In his mind there were some topic plans to chat with Professor Arion. There may be two to three topics that are already in the form of detailed words spinning in the brain of a Mr. Andre's.

There are many plans and tasks that he has to do. Step shoes Mr. Andre was heard knocking on the floor with a regular rhythm.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

A set of files had been neatly tucked in his arm. Job report this week. For Mr. Andre this job is no longer important after yesterday the day after he met with Mr. Alvaro´s. Everything will no longer be the same as before. Mr. Andre smiles.

“Please enter,” Professor Arion gives permission to Mr. Andre's.

“Thank you,” Said Mr. Andre is polite.

In that air-conditioned room, Mr. Andre stepped onto the seat that was in front of Professor Arion's desk. This room is spacious and clean. The arrangement of antiques on the edge of the room adds an aesthetic neat impression.

Professor Arion cleared his throat.

“How are you doing this week? Is there a problem in the administration section?” Professor Arion asked Mr. Andre's.

“Yes, as in previous weeks. The administration is fine. It may only need to be fixed in a few small parts. Oh, for the procurement of metals that we imported yesterday has not been recorded, because the goods are still on the way.

That tungsten metal I think is very good for use in this project. However, the processing takes a long time,” explained Mr. Andre to Professor Arion.

Mr. Andre shows a thick blue map containing data on the procurement of tungsten metal materials.

Professor Arion read the file carefully.

Natural tungsten found on earth is almost always a chemical compound. It is a rare metal that is hard at standard conditions if it does not combine with other elements. Its free element resistance is remarkable, especially the fact that it has the highest melting point among all the elements found. It melted on 3422 °C (6192 °F).

Its high density is 19.3 times that of water, comparable to uranium and gold, and higher (about 1.7 times) than lead. Polycrystalline wolfram is a ductile and hard material, making it difficult to process. However, pure single crystal tungsten is more clay, and can be cut using a hard steel saw.

Wolfram is the only metal of the third transition series known to occur in biomolecules, used by several species of bacteria and archaea. It is the heaviest known element of essential for living organisms.

The low thermal expansion and high melting point and tensile strength of tungsten come from the strong covalent bonds formed between tungsten atoms by 5d electrons.

The main use of tungsten is in the production of tungsten carbide based hard material, one of the hardest carbides, with melting point 2770 °C (5020 °F).

During the reading, Professor Arion nodded. In his mind has grown a very deep trust in Mr. Andre's. He's an old friend. The reports are good and deserve appreciation. Besides, he also works hard.

“How good is your report. You must maintain this quality of yours,” Professor Arion said praising the report from Mr. Andre's.

“Thank you, Sir,” Said Mr. Andre with happy eyes.

“Do not call me by the word ‘Pak’, we are one generation. Still young, hahaha,” Professor Arion said crisply. Mr. Andre laughed when he heard that Professor Arion did not want to be called 'Pak'.

“Yes, but there are some I want to talk to you about. Maybe this is a trivial thing. However, may you please yes,” Said Mr. Andre's.

Continue the conversation before Professor Arion gets bored.

“It's okay, I'm even happy if there's a familiar and friendly officer. It's also a break, no problem,” said Professor Arion, looking at his watch and feeling no problem.

“Thank you, then. Well, so what I want to talk about is adding some important parts to the robot design. Need a little revision maybe? Or just some of the wrong officers installed?” Ask Mr. Andre careful.

Professor Arion held his chin. He was analyzing what his friend asked him. Well, this is how the conversation of two geniuses is like a puzzle. Sometimes the other person who hears doesn't know what's being said. Complicated and too difficult to understand.

Special officers were indeed asked to design the shape of the robot so that he was more free to extend the soul of the AI that would be applied.

Professor Arion walked towards the closet in the corner of the room. Take a thin blue map. Then open it and show it to Mr. Andre's. Inside the blue map is a robot design. Complicated lines are arranged on a piece of paper.

“What is this part that makes you a little worried and weird?” Professor Arion asked Mr. Andre while showing a part that looks more complex.

Mr. Andre nodded. He looked at the passage that Professor Arion had pointed to. Yeah, that part's right. Near the heart of the robot is something more complex.

“It was part of the most advanced technology this time that I developed and wanted to implement on this project. There are some special circuits that I made for a specific purpose. With the addition, when the robots are turned on they will live like living things.

Robots have a commanding desire. Robots can also be conditioned to remain able to move, for example when fighting. The robot will continue to move even if the robot's heart is damaged. The robot will continue to move until its body is completely destroyed.

For other functions are the same as sophisticated robots in the present. Maybe a little more sophisticated. I also added some uranium at certain angles to keep the robot joints awake. And there are some things I've tested on robots, for example, specifically for the joints and muscles of robots that can produce their own lubricant.

Like synovial oil on the human body. I made the working principle of the robot the same as the human body but more perfect with other completeness, such as regeneration and gravity repellent, as well as life eternal without limits,” explained Professor Arion. Professor Arion's azure blue eyes glittered to themselves while explaining.

Mr. Andre was amazed by Professor Arion's words. So clear and so great is this planning. There is no doubt that Professor Arion is the number one scientist in Deolinicia.

“Wow, great Prof, I'm very proud of the design of this project. I'll work with you even more. By the way on the circuit that puts it near the heart what are the components?” Said Mr. Andre appreciates Professor Arion.

“Hmnn, Actually the concept did not just come from my thinking. A friend from a distant place once taught me. Oh, for that circuit problem I guess I haven't finished preparing either.

There are still imperfect. Special officer I've asked to come along to find a solution. I'm in the research phase,” Professor Arion said as he scratched his non-itchy nape.

“Alright, Professor Arion. Hemnn, I'm still confused about the purpose of this project. What does the government want? What do you think of this project Professor Arion?” Ask Mr. Andre while exhaling heavily.

However, in his words he has another purpose, which is to provoke the words and opinions of Professor Arion.

“I think this project is good. But I don't like the government. Uh, I mean if this project works I don't want to be used for crime I don't think I'm willing and will protect it.

However, if the government has a good purpose, I will always support,” explained Professor Arion a little slip if he wants to defy the government.

"I will put my mind and energy into supporting this project. I want the results to be satisfactory" continued Professor Arion quickly.

Mr. Andre nodded, but he clearly knew that Professor Arion had lied in his words. His old friend knew that Professor Arion had a plan and a desire to defy the government.

The conversation ended with Mr. Andre from Professor Arion's room. Professor Arion was trying to maintain his wise gaze. Although Mr. Andre walked out of Professor Arion's room with a lump of disappointment on the surface of his heart.

The color of the evening is red saga. The white clouds in the sky seemed to be floating between guilt and bad taste in Professor Arion's heart. He has leaked a bit of information about the project.

A small part of his heart felt that great doubt arose from Mr. Andre and the conversation. He has spoken too much if not too much with the government and the organization. Although Mr. Andre is an old friend and confidant in the company, Professor Arion still feels doubt and his instincts say there is something bad about all this.
