Chapter 17
When Alan stepped out of Connor’s office, Camila looked up as he approached her step by step.
Here it comes, she thought. She was about to be fired.
Alan smiled and said, “Camila, could you go to the R&D department to find Mr. Bryan and pick up some materials for the upcoming meeting? Youll also attend the meeting and be responsible for taking the minutes”
Camila was slightly shocked.
What? She wasnt being fired? And she was asked to attend a meeting? Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
What was Connor playing at?
“Okay,” she nodded.
mila went downstairs to the R&D department. The door to Mr. Bryan’s office was open, and no one was inside. She asked. “Hello, do you know when Bryan will be back? I need to pick up some materials for the meeting”
A programmer looked towards the direction of the meeting room with a smile, “They’re in there.”
“Is he in a meeting?” Camila asked, puzzled.
“Not exactly. You can just go in,” the programmer said with a mysterious smile
After thanking him, Camila headed to the meeting room and pushed the door open.
The room was filled with the aroma of pizza, and several executives from the development team were enjoying their slices. Camila’s sudden appearance didn’t seem to disturb them.
“Camila, have a slice,” Bryan offered, holding up a piece of pizza.
Camila shook her head with a smile. It’s just past three. She hadn’t even digested lunch yet.
“Are you attending the meeting later?” Bryan asked.
“Yes, I’m taking the minutes. I came to get the materials.
“You should eat something then,” Bryan said with a hint of mystery
“Yeah, come join us,” another executive chimed in.
“No, I’m still full, Camila declined politely.
Bryan handed her a USB drive with a smile, “Alright, you’re new. You’ll get the hang of it next time.”
Camila didn’t quite understand but smiled and accepted the USB drive.
It was close to four o’clock, and Camila had the meeting materials printed and brought them to the executive meeting room. The Manager of Administrative Services, Marissa, had already set up the meeting equipment. “Camila, I’ll leave the rest to you. Call me if you need anything.”
“Thank you.”
After Marissa left, Camila distributed the materials as the R&D colleagues gradually arrived in the meeting room.
At four o’clock sharp, Connor and Alan entered the meeting room on time.
The meeting began, and Bryan started the presentation.
“Future Robot 2.0 uses a quick–release battery design, with 58.8V battery power, which is consistent with the voltage standard gait of domestic mediurn and small–sized quadruped robots, providing about 2 hours of operational time. With our continual improvements, Future Robot 3.0 will have up to 8 hours of battery life and enhanced stability
“System control equations, calculus equations…
“We transferred equations, setting the initial conditions to zero, applying force F as input, and measuring the pendulum angle as output. We performed a Laplace transform on the differential equation to obtain..
“Using MATLAB to express the transfer function…
Camila stared at the PPT filled with equations and functions, feeling utterly lost.
Was Connor trying to prank her? He was definitely holding a grudge.
The meeting involved too many technical terms, and she looked bewilderedly at Bryan’s assistant, Curtis.
“Camila, I’ll give you the matenals later so you can organize the meeting notes better” Curtis said unde
“Thank you so much!” Camila expressed her gratitude,
ingly.
She was responsible for sales at the branch office and was familiar with every specification of the Future Robol. Yet, attending her first R&D meeting was still a staggering experience. Every single component was the result of countless calculations and experiments.
