The Athena Code's
69. GEON ARTHUR YILDIZ: CEO OF ASTROGUN Corp.

NASA FUTURE PLANS Langley Research Center Virginia

Heilen and Clara were already in the event hall, preparing to find a seat according to the number listed on their invitation card.

Heilen tiptoed repeatedly, his net still trying to reach the motorcade that is said to be the Astrogun team by Clara. Unfortunately, the traffic of the invited guests were quite densely blocked it.

‘’Uch!’’ sumpul Heilen was upset. He saw that the motorcade had already passed to the backstage stage.

‘They look so exclusive and cool with expensive and luxurious outfit.'

Heilen's inner voice was understated with great curiosity.

‘Is he always so busy that there is no time to meet me. He never even contacted me through a line call or videocall, he only contacted me through a short message !why am I too hoping to meet him!’

Almost two years without seeing each other, Heilen was really curious how Mr. G's latest look.

And he did not expect at all, the man who had spent several nights with him in the Panshjir valley of Afghanistan, the man who was in a state of depression and exhaustion, whom he called a foolish man , he is the CEO of ASTROGUN Corp. As he had heard from Gerald Gremio that night.

“Basic liar!’’ heilen grumbled half in whisper. Remembering Mr. G who said he was just a worker at Astrogun Corp.

“Heilen, what's up? you look restless, are you holding back pee?’’ reprimanding Clara who had noticed the absurd behavior of Heilen.

‘’Oh ..., uh no, hehe..., I was admiring the decoration of this large hall, everything is futuristic,’’ Heilen coral.

‘’From..,’’ murmured Clara half whispered.

Heilen did not answer, but he immediately brought his body closer to Clara's body. Clara put her lips close to Heilen's ears.

“Listen, you have to be calm, elegant, smart and confident when in public like this. Little girl, you can't look silly and stupid,’’ Clara scolds again. He and Heilen chatted while walking slowly towards the seat on the fifth row from the front. Not so close to the stage, but not too far away.

‘’OK, cyst. I was just spontaneous earlier,’’ Heilen whispered with a sorry face.

‘’Hmm.., well this is our seat. Sit down,’’ Clara's word.

Actually Clara was not satisfied with Heilen's answer, because Heilen was not usually so agitated when in the crowd.

Almost all the seats were filled, except for a few VVIP seats that were right in front of the stage.

The noisy atmosphere started to diminish, it seemed like the event was about to start.

Heilen focused on a very slick and futuristic stage setting. On the spacious stage there are also seats and tables lined up. All of that will be reserved for speakers, mc and other important guests.

A number of VVIP guests were seen starting to come to the front seat, among the most striking is the Mr. Secretary of Defense of the United States and his staff.

All the guests who attended the compact applauded without command, welcoming the arrival of the number one man at the Pentagon - the Secretary of Defense. So was Clara and Heilen who were still excited. That was when the corner of Heilen's eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking among the VVIP guests.

'Did I not see wrong? A guy like Arthur. Ah, no, where is possible! But I know him so well, that's him!Hmm...., or maybe just a person very similar to him.'

Heilen again agitated, extending his neck up, wailing while guessing where the position of the man he saw was very similar to Arthur.

"You are, why act like a giraffe, hihihihi.", joked Clara, seeing Heilen begin again to act absurdly.

"Hissh.., I saw my friend. I'm sure it's him, but I'm not sure either, I don't know." Heilen said confusedly.

"Hihihihi.Heilen, you are here. What kind of sentence is that? I was confused to hear it," said Clara in the lowest possible tone of voice.

"Look! that's my cousin Rossie, Rossie Jane Jordan," Clara cried suddenly, while showing Heilen an extraordinary beautiful girl wearing elegant luxury clothing. The girl walked charmingly among the VVIP guests heading towards the main seat in front.

"Wow, too beautiful, Clara," Heilen praised.

The atmosphere of the hall was silent....,

The show host had prepared on stage. Give a few opening sentences that get a rapturous welcome from the guests.

"NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Admnistration) is the United States space agency responsible for the space research program. Its contents are scientists who are unceasingly studying and researching life beyond Earth. Therefore, they must be supported by super-advanced technology on Earth in carrying out missions and interstellar tasks. One of those technologies is robotic technology."

"Humanoid robot or human android began to be produced by NASA around the 1960s. The first human-shaped robot has a function to test space suits in NASA laboratories. Having red eyes, this 104-kilogram robot is made of solid aluminum and fiberglass. However, the body is not covered so that the wires of this robot are visible. The humanoid also has no right arm. The robot uses fuel oil to move. It was NASA's first humanoid robot that could be said to be very simple."

"There is also Robonaut 1 (R1). The Robonaut 1 (R1) was the first human-like robot produced in 1997. There are 2 versions of Robonaut R1A and R1b. in contrast to Humanoid, Robonaut not flown into space. Robonaut 1 is designed to operate teleoperated data on the surface of the planet. However, the robot only receives instructions on Earth from astronauts in space.

"After Robonaut 1 was retired, NASA created the first humanoid robot to launch into space in 2010, Robonaut 2. If Robonaut 1 is not included in space, Robonaut 2 is flown into space and joined by astronauts who will settle for several months on the international space station."

"This 2.5 million USD robot has been tested to work on things in zero-gravity conditions. This robot is able to help with tasks that are at risk for humans. And this robot is made safe because all the devices all over its body are coated with soft materials. Has the same fingers and palms as humans."

"And in this day and age NASA robotics has been growing rapidly. NASA does not just produce its own robots, be it humanoids or hybrids. We have expanded the quality and quantity improvement through cooperation with superior private parties. One of them is cooperation with ASTROGUN Corporation which is already famous for humanoid robots with the most advanced AI technology"

The sentence-by-sentence strands of the MCs drugged all the viewers in the hall. Coupled with slide after slide various robots mentioned the mc plastered on the widescreen backstage.

"On this night of NASA FUTURE PLANS, as the opening act we have invited humanoid robots from Astrogun Corporation to perform on stage. We welcome."

Guests provide applause along with the appearance of a female robot figure that at first glance is no different from human women in general, but after being noticed more intensely will appear stiff movements then realized that it is a humanoid robot figure with skin synthesis.

The female robot was accompanied by the smartrobot Socrates .

The female robot sat on an available chair on stage, while the smartrobot Socrates stood by the side of the host.

Smart robot Socrates stands on stage as the preface bearer of the Astrogun team.

“Goodnight ladies and gentleman, introduce me smartrobot Socrates, I represent the robots of ASTROGUN Corp will explain some basic things about robotics."

"What is the simple definition of robotics or robotics?"

"Robot is a mechanical device that can perform physical tasks, either using human supervision and control, or using a pre-defined program, artificial intelligence. Robots are usually used for heavy, dangerous, repetitive and dirty tasks."

"From the above definition can be concluded that in fact robots are systems that mimic the workings of living things, especially animals and humans. If animals and humans have the senses to detect their environment. Then the response from the sensor is sent to the brain to be processed. The brain then orders the muscles to contract and move the skeleton.that is the mechanism of action of the living system simply."

"Well, a robot is a system that mimics this system. If in living things such as animals and humans are called senses, then in robots called sensors.Brain in humans and animals, then in robots is called a neurorobotic or microcontroller. Muscles in humans, called actuators in robots. Food energy sources in humans, electrical energy sources from power supplies such as batteries in robots.frame in humans, frame/platform in robots."

"Who first introduced robotics?"

"The earliest robot we know of was invented in the early 1950s by George C. Devol, an inventor from Louisville, Kentucky. He invented and patented a reprogrammable manipulator called "Unimate," from "Universal Automation."

"That's a little knowledge from me about robotics, the next thing that will accompany you all is one of the android robots with the most advanced AI system today. A robot programmed to help complete the work of astronauts in space. Since he doesn't yet have a name, we call him robot X. This is robot X!."

"Hi robot X." Sapa Socrates's.

"Hello Smartbot Socrates "

The female robot who was sitting in the chair got up and walked to the center of the stage, now she started talking.

"Imagine, I'm waiting in space without the inner burden of having to leave my beloved family. No! My family may be the only owners of Astrogun, you could say he's my father."

"Hahahahahahahaha.... "

The audience laughed hearing the robot x as if it was joking.

"No need to bother thinking about food reserves while in space, just plug in me !"

"Or should you be dizzy with your oxygen supply running low? No, never will!"

"And one more secret you should know, I'm neither pup nor pea."

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

The entire hall seemed to tremble at the statement of robot X acting like someone who was joking.

"It looks like he's also programmed to joke, too" Heilen's great-grandson couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, Amazing!" sahut Clara was amazed.

"Ladies and gentleman, I'll be traveling with the astronauts to help complete certain missions. I will take part in experiments, shooting, research and other important tasks without the need to worry about when to sleep or when to take a shower. If my mission fails and I die there will be no heart to grieve or cry for me on earth.Thank you."

GRRRRRRRRRRTRR.

Hearing the last sentence of robot X, instead of being sad, the audience just back dissolved in a low boisterous laughter. Then they gave a big applause.

The stage is now back under MC's control.

"Ladies and Gentleman, thank you for your great appreciation. It's time to get to know and talk to the CEO of ASTROGUN Corporations. A young excutive whose name echoes everywhere, but his figure is like a ghost, difficult to find. And tonight he's specifically taking his time for all of us."

MC deliberately paused his sentence as if he wanted to make public curiosity more and more.

"Heilen, I'm really curious about this one guy," muttered Clara impatiently waiting for the appearance of the figure the MC was talking about.

I'm also very curious about what that stupid man looks like right now, even though I was with him, and even though I was angry with him.

Heilen could only answer Clara inwardly.

Clara and Heilen's necks move left-right, sometimes upward to find the right angle of view of the stage position.

"Let's welcome the CEO of ASTROGUN Corporations GEON ARTHUR YILDIZ!"

The sound of applause returned to the air in the hall.

Heilen did not believe in his own hearing. His brain was still trying to neutralize the shockwave from a name just mentioned out loud by the MC. He recalled one of the VVIP men he had seen earlier. Unconsciously his fingers trembled and clenched slowly.

The hall returned to silence as a tall man of proportionate size got up from the VVIP seat. He walked onto the stage so confidently and charismatically. Now everyone can see how perfect the man is physically.

Heilen felt his heart beat too fast and his body was hollow. Reflex he held his left chest with a weakened arm. His face paled and cold sweat began to trickle down his temple.

"Clara, I.e.," he said uncompletedly with trembling lips.

Clara who was fascinated by Arthur's charm was spontaneously surprised to see the condition of Heilen.

"Heilen, what's wrong? you why?" clara asked worriedly and confused at Heilen's sudden and drastic change.

"Huff, Haah..!!" Heilen tried to take a deep breath, then exhaled it quickly to expel his pannick attack."It seems like my stomach hurts a little bit, but that's okay" he said with his lips quivering behind his black mask.

"But I'm worried about you, you're very pale. Do I need to call the medical team at this place?"

"No, not necessary. It's been quiet," replied Heilen trying hard to remove Clara's worries.

Their eyes returned to the stage.

Heilen froze, without excuse - a clear bulb crossed his cheek just like that.

"Good night Mr. Geon Arthur Yildiz."

"Good night, Nolan."

"So far we have seen Astrogun as a large arms and robotics company that is very reliable in this generation. What is Astrogun's guide in every step of its development in the world of technology?"

"Every step of development must be in line with our Vision and mission, taking into account all kinds of effects on the environment and the environment, according to the motto that we always uphold "WE LOVE AND PROTECT HUMAN".

The sound of applause reverberated.

Clara clapped loudly, dissolving in her admiration. He did not realize the tears Heilen spilled earlier.

Heilen was still trying hard even though his heart had been sliced apart. Pieces after pieces of the puzzle were answered already. Puzzle after puzzle has now been arranged perfectly in his head.

After a wordless split in Afghanistan, they first met back in Jakarta when the man began investigating. It is sad, Heilen is just beginning to understand his own life story.

That man was Geon Arthur Yildiz, that man was also Mr. G. The man he called a stupid man, as well as the man who made him dissolve in a deep feeling of longing, turned out to be a man who was so good at playing with his innocence.

Heilen gathered strength to stare at him once more.

That face seems to have had a little reconstruction after the severe injuries and infections in Afghanistan, which I deserve to be unable to recognize. Heilen.

There, on that stage, Geon Arthur Yildiz spoke with his seething charm.

The whole hall glorifies it.

MC is back.

"Yes, Mr. Yildiz. Can we find out the name you've prepared for robot X?"

"of Course. Because tonight is such a special night then we are proud and happy to announce the official name for robot X."

"A name that has a very important meaning in my life, the most meritorious woman in my life, My mother Stefanie Yildiz, introduce "Stefanie-Astrosoul 1"

The audience applauded Arthur's sentence-by-sentence, like a hypnotizing magical spell.

"Oh Stefanie is her mother's name. He was certainly a loving family man. Rossie was really lucky to be with her," cried Clara as she*remas-re*mas Heilen's arm was anxious, without turning her head towards Heilen. Clara spoke with a fixed view of focus on the stage, not wanting to miss the slightest figure of Geon Arthur Yildiz.

Clara's words shot out loud, no different from the poisonous arrow that struck right in Heilen's heart.

Arrive - arrive.... __, uh,

Heilen felt empty, like a huge meteor rock had struck his weak body and sunk him to the bottom of the earth.
