Second phase

"Lily, see this. This is what I've been working on lately.", Ankit came out with a robot that he had made.

The smooth shell of the robot was silver white colored and the intetnal wires were all hidden because of it.

"Hello, mam. I am 001. I will be serving you from now on."

"It's really good. Almost like a human.", Lily said while looking at Ankit.

"Yes, it is.", Ankit said while hugging Lily. Both of them then spent time cuddling and watching netflix.

001, our innocent robot however was ordered by Ankit to go and manufacture more robots. Ankit had materials enough to build 50 robots. 001 was installed with a robot building module and also the fighting module. 001 started building robots.

The robot building module was just as it's name suggested. A module to build robots.The fighting module was an all inclusive melee and weapons module pack. It was put together by Nanu by using various data and parameters available on the weapons and melee fighting.

Each robot took 1 and a half hour to be assembled. The assembled robot could also start assembling other robots. So, the rate at which they were assembled grew faster.

But it was still a slow because of the fact that the robot could only function for 4 hours because of limited battery capacity. Still, the next day all 50 robots were assembled and stored in the basement in an orderly manner.

Ankit was very satisfied with this. As soon as he could get the machines, the robots could control the machines at nanometer level and produce the raw materials required to produce robots at a faster speed and lower cost than ordering at the german and french manufacturers. There was also always a hidden danger that they might stop providing because of reasons.

Even before the factories were built, Ankit had Ashly contact the military. The robots would be sold to the mitilary first and then to the civillian site.

Ankit didn't stop and wait for the military's reply and soon moved into producing the low level gene optimization fluid. This was done by help of various herbs.

The contents from various herbs were to be extracted and mixed to form X factor component that would develop the human body and brain.

Ankit had already moved out of his basement and would conduct his research in the company's industrial park.

Under Ankit's instruction, various biologists were also recruited to work under him. They had to sign confidentiality agreement while moving their families to the company's apartment complex.

The current 50 robots were deployed. Ten of them were used at his home for security and help doing chores. Twenty of them were used as helpers for the biolgy researchers. The rest of the twenty were using machines that had just arrived to produce more robots.

After another fifteen days, the military finally reaponded and they called for the galaxy technology to immediately send a spokesperson and product sample for testing to the Fort Drum military base in New York state.

"I will be the one who goes. The military version robot that I made will be taken with me."

"Okay. But how much does it cost us? You said we will set it at the price of $ 1 million. You haven't told me the cost.", Ashly asked.

"Since we produce the components on our own, It will cost around $ 150,000 to make a military robot. Whereas, the civillian model will cost around $50,000 to build."

"Almost ten times the profit?", Ashly was shocked when she heard this.

"How is the sale of the software and OS going on?"

"It's going quite good. We have obtained a total of $ 1 billion profits from the OS whereas the software has contributed $ 300 million profits. We currently have around $ 750 million in liquid funds."

"Start the second round of expansion. This time, build a villa area for scientists. These villas will be awarded to researchers that contribute to the research. Also, start building more factories for robot production and also research facilities. After the robots are sold to the military, you will start employing scientific researchers. Also they can apply for projects. Fulfill their all needs if possible."

"But…"

"I know what you mean. We have our own focus. Support cutting edge technologies more. Such as quantum technology, neuro science, genetic research and such. Also set up security division where half are people and the other half are robots."

"Do we include the robots right now? It will lead to exposure."

"You wait until we release civillian model of the robot."

"Okay. Also, we rejected microsoft's and other company's proposal but there has not been much retaliation. This might be the calm before the storm."

"Maybe…", Ankit said with a nonchalant expression.

Nanu had actually stopped tens of such attacks on the company servers. Noone actually knew this and also, the robots had recently caught a guy who had snuck into company premises. Nanu hadn't notified the security personnel but had used robots to 'take care' of that guy.

Ashly naturally didn't know any of this and thought something or some retaliation from microsoft would come soon.

"I will leave now. ", Ankit said while going back to the research building.

Ankit was still working on the body development fluid with other researchers. It was after working with other researchers that he realized that working with help around could ease his pressure as well as boost up research speed.

The next day, Ankit got ready to go to the military base and went with two robots and one assistant. The military base was around three hundred miles away, so he took a helicopter arranged by the military.

Soon, he arrived at the base where he met with major general Ross Ackermen.

"Hello. I am Major General Ross Ackermen, the one who is responsible for this base.", the middle aged man in the military uniform said while extending his hand for a handshake.
