At the factory of Paradise Industry, Shakhai and his assistant were engrossed in supervising the AI industrial robots. The focus of the industry was on developing a new water producer that would be affordable even for the poorest individuals. Those robots looked like backhoes loaders but they had tiny pincers instead of buckets. They were fitting microchips on microtrollers.

  "Nobel, it looks like everything is going well. If this project bees successful. No, no, no 'if'. This project has to be successful. So, soon all people, even all poor afford a water producer. No one has to perish from thirst anymore," Shakhai excimed.

  "Yes sir. It's mentable that it takes humanity about half a millennia to achieve an affordable water producer. The existing water producers are exclusively utilized by nobles and upper-css people. But this inequality will end soon," Nobel Freeman replied.

  "We don't have to build this water producer. Even, there would be no cept of a 'water-making mae', only if our aors thought about the future seriously. All gciers have beeed, and rivers and kes have been dried. Only the os were left. We would purify water from the salt water of os. But now, look at those os; no water, only the seas of pstics, wasted things, and even dead bodies. Venturing outside without a Shielding suit is perilous, as our bodies would be ed by the intense radiation," Shakhai said.

  "Baba," Ilm called as he ehe factory. He activated the holographic s on his shielding suit and a to disehe suit transformed bato a box.

  "Look your son has e. Now teach him how to be a good businessman," Nobel chuckled.

  "I see you've e quite early today," Shakhai remarked.

  "No, I have arrived on time, no early, no te," Ilm replied.

  "But today was your first day of martial arts training. So, I expected you to be te."

  "Dhuur, b training."

  Shakhai ughed then he asked Nobel if he could tinue supervising, so Shakhai would take Ilm somewhere. Nobel nodded.

  "e with me, Ilm."

  Ilm went with Shakhai holding his sleeve's end.

  "So, my young master, do you want to see our new project?" Shakhai asked.

  "You sound like Kuro. 'Young master,'" Ilm replied.

  "Well, what is the differeween me and Kuro?"

  "He is a robot, you are not. He doesn't do anything by himself, you do. He follows what is anded."

  "Even humans don't do anything by themselves." Shakhai smiled.

  Ilm puzzled. He frow Shakhai.

  "I don't uand," he said.

  "You think we follow what we think, what we want. But I think we follow our instincts. We don't make choices; we select a choice from the choices given. We are just like robots, Ilm. We give outputs based on the inputs."

  "Grandpa, Maa, and you, all are the same. eople so obsessed with lectures?"

  Shakhai ughed. "Well, at some point in life, you will be like us. So, want to see our brand-new water producer?"

  "Yes!" His eyes were shining with excitement.

  Shakhai took Ilm to the resear. Many humanoid robots were w. And at the end middle of the room, there was a cuboid-shaped mae.

  "These robots are industrial testers. They help us with testing every eology. This is the prototype of Paradise Industry's new water producer, which will be equipped with advaeology," Shakhai expined.

  "How will it work?" Ilm asked.

  "For the present, we get water from melting icebergs brought from Turkan and purify the water. However, this process is very costly. Another method involves transp water from the p Aquaris, but that's also expensive. Moreover, most of them are industrial. The most cost-effit way is to produce water through a chemical rea. So people will get their own water-making mae."

  "But you know there is no free oxygen imosphere. You have to extract oxygen from other chemical pounds or make them. And so, you need an enormous amount of energy for mass produ."

  "And that's why we need Professor McWorld's new iion. That will be able to take energy from a ron star and will easily hold it for a lifetime. He has said that he wo or three more years. And then we will use his iion for people's be usirochemical synthesis," Shakhai informed.

  Ilm gasped with joy. "Really?"

  "Yeah, although he is making it for space transportation, like how the majority of energy usage is allocated for that, but we use it, ging some funs. And you know what is more iing about it? This teology will cost some trillions of Crypts. So, for a multi-quadrillion pany like ours, it will be very cheap. So, the total cost for mass produ will be less," Shakhai said.

  "Wow, you are amazing Baba."

  "How I deny my son's request?" Shakhai shrugged.

  "Okay then, I'm going." Ilm turned bad raised his hand. He smiled and said, "Goodbye Baba. See you during the dinner."

  Ilm left the pce. Shakhai sighed and smiled, "What a curious boy."

  Then he recalled the event which vinced him to do this greater good. The event of the dinner party at a colourful light night. The night of Ilm's seven-year birthday celebration.
