The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1195

Jessie's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? That's amazing!"

"Well, the Tech Institute is packed with geniuses. Designing a robot like that is just another day at the office for them," Linden said with a shrug.

"So, if they're diving into intelligent systems, why create a separate division for artificial life systems? Shouldn't they be more experienced by now?" Jessie wondered aloud, scratching her head.

Kason shook his head thoughtfully. "Beats me. But there is a difference, you know? The biological data needed for artificial life systems is insanely complex."

Mirabella was listening, tapping her fingers lightly on her knee as she gazed out the car window. "The life system builds on the intelligent system but takes it a step further. It integrates human thought, pretty much making a clone of a complete person. That kind of massive project needs more than just a bunch of engineers."

No research is a one-person show; it takes a team effort across different fields to make it work.

Jessie, sitting right in front of Mirabella, swiveled around, resting her arms on the back of the seat. "I've always thought you knew a lot about artificial life systems, right?"

Ever since their research team came together, Mirabella's knack for steering discussions had shown her deep understanding. You couldn't sketch out a system framework so quickly without it.

Jessie's voice wasn't loud, but it carried through the car. As her question hung in the air, Calvin, sitting up front, perked up, eager to hear Mirabella's response.

Since the whole Meg incident, Calvin's feelings about Mirabella were tangled. She was supposed to be in his department, but he had pushed her out. Her extraordinary talent was something the department hadn't seen in years.

It was a real shame to have lost someone like that... Calvin pushed down his frustration, glancing at the rearview mirror, waiting for Mirabella to speak.

Calvin watched the group from the front seat, especially noting Zane's smug expression, and felt a twinge of irritation. It seemed like Zane was showing off right in front of him.

Tired of it, Calvin averted his eyes, ignoring the rearview mirror.

Before long, the car cruised smoothly into the Tech Institute, parking in the designated spot. The group climbed out.

Hank, the project lead for this branch at the Tech Institute, was already waiting. He gave a quick glance over Zane and Mirabella's group, raising an eyebrow at the sight of two women, then relaxed.

Not recognizing Zane, Hank's gaze settled on the school's external affairs head and Calvin. He nodded politely. "Dr. King, Mr. Calvin."
