The Helicopter
Valuable questions posed by Ms. Mikoyan Sukol for the Shipyard's CEO had to wait, as the helicopter belonging to the State Shipyard of Artane had just landed. Its sleek block structure had a triangular-shaped cockpit, painted with a distinctive black-blue coating. The doors slid open sideways to allow entry. The director entered first, followed by the guest, then Charlène De Villepin, and finally the doctor. The doors slid shut, isolating the cabin. The cabin's ventilation system activated, supplying fresh air—both in terms of quality and humidity—for regular passengers.
-Yes, ship repair materials and components can be purchased. Besides that, I'm thrilled by the comprehensive interest in the order for the transport ships. Both vessels were constructed with three layers—composite carbon fiber, aluminum, and an eco-friendly antifouling coating. Several new Japuilean technologies have been integrated on board, including the ability to regulate engine energy consumption using our renewable energy sources technology, namely solar panels. Additionally, an onboard AI, named A.Q.U.A—Adaptive Quotient Utilizing Cognitive Abilities—has been installed. However, my colleague, Project Manager 'Android' Charlène De Villepin, might shed more light on this spectrum.-
As the Android Project Manager was about to speak, the helicopter's doors slid open again. Exiting were those who had entered last. They were on the ship's deck, ensuring stability—among them was an aluminum-clad android in the Japuilean naval uniform, akin to a first officer. It bore a humanoid resemblance but lacked color.
-Hello, I'm A.Q.U.A, the ship's AI. I'm connected to the ship's systems, capable of conducting system diagnostics and proposing strategic savings to reduce the ship's operational costs in the long term. I look forward to our journeys together.-The android spoke using an advanced speech synthesizer, attempting to mimic the accent of its creators, and bowed to the Royal Crown representative. Charlène De Villepin applauded, and the android smiled.
-The 'Android' Project is my initiative to integrate higher-quality technology into our lives. Fear of such advanced technology is a natural reaction, but slowly integrating it at our own pace is also valuable. The onboard AI won't just support the ship's operations but will also be able to train sailors and the crew, as it's equipped with a comprehensive database of maritime knowledge, including songs. It also efficiently learns languages-
