Chapter 75 – The General's Proposal
The general became encouraged by their joint development.
He generously provided all his experiences to the Republic of Sages, politely explaining what people wanted from the homunculus.
In response to that explanation, the development of the simplified homunculi proceeded at a rapid pace in the Republic of Sages.
Every country met the development of the simple homunculi with anticipation, many of them aiming to one up each other by buying large quantities of the simple homunculi, despite not even having a prototype yet.
The Republic of Sages was extremely surprised by their reaction.
They never expected that there would be such a reaction; however, the Republic of Sages met this anticipation with great enthusiasm.
Of course, the general who expected this situation was very pleased.
To the Republic of Sages, the simplified homunculi had been found to have generated enormous wealth.
The general believed that if enough simplified homunculi flowed to the market, people would have more exposure to the homunculi and better understand them.
With this, the development of the simplified homunculi proceeded steadily, yet the true purpose of the general's cooperation with the Republic of Sages was different.
One day, a large meeting was held to confirm the progress of development.
Naturally, the general attended this meeting with Katamimi.
By now, he had already mastered the technical aspects of homunculi production and the intricacies of each research departments' presentations were not lost on him.
Progress continued to be had, and the researchers of various departments all explained their various developments, including the skin, muscular, nerve, magical core, skeletal, and even optical and dental departments. (1)
The presentation went on without problems until finally, the announcement the general was looking for began.
It was the presentation about the simple brain and artificial soul to be implanted in the homunculi.
This department was central in the development of the homunculi, and it was also the one with the most researchers from the Republic of Sages itself. (2)
The content of their presentation was so sophisticated and technical that even researchers from other departments could not understand it, resulting in no suggestions or comments from the other departments.
After the presentation, the spokesperson asked the researchers,
"Does anyone have any opinions or questions?"
However, none of the researchers said anything, all making difficult faces...
The only thought permeating through them was that of resignation.
(We didn't understand a thing you said, but if we leave it to them, it'll probably be fine.)
Seeing the situation, the presenters also felt resignation.
(Well... as usual, no one understands...)
They began to wrap up, clearly disappointed, but it was then that a single voice echoed throughout the room. (3)
"I have a suggestion."
Those small words made the conference room become lively.
(Who said that?)
