Chapter 1 Rise of Rohus

The technology has advanced to a level that robots are almost exactly as humane as us mankind. Rohus can think, talk and move just like normal people without intervention of humans. Unlike the conventional robots with features of hard metal-like touch, stiff and clumsy moves back in 2013, which was about 300 years ago, it is extremely hard to tell the differences between a robot and a human now, in the year 2313. Thus, to distinguish a humane advanced robot from the conventional one, a new word that combines robot and human was coined, rohu."

We humans actually have mixed feelings about rohus. On one way, we are happy and grateful that rohus do the high-risk dangerous work for us such as bombing to dig the tunnels or reconstruct a building, dive to the sea bottom to build the cables or tote the sunk ships, go inside the nuclear areas to fix the broken machines, get inside the volcanoes to collect the geologic samples for studies, fly to the outer space to rescue the endangered or deviated space crafts and endangered astronauts or land on Mars or some unknown planets or stars to negotiate with aliens. However, on the other hand, humans feel threatened by how powerful rohus can be and fear that rohus will replace humans or take control of the world some day since the rohus have become so sophisticated and autonomous that they can do lots of work that could originally only be done by humans 300 years ago. You would find rohus in almost every production line of all the factories, and oil drilling and construction engineers are mostly rohus. In a sense, rohus are more persistent than humans because as long as you provide them with enough energy resources or materials, they can do some extremely difficult, dangerous, tiring and repetitive work that humans cannot do nonstop. Rohus can be so persistent and perseverant that some humans fear that rohus can be unstoppable and things can go out of control.

Since human’s former leader, Noch Lynch, endorsed an act that approved the rohus to build their own district about 200 years ago, rohus had built up a district of their own brick by brick. There are rohu’s schools, libraries, swimming pools, hospitals, supermarkets, movie cinemas and all the other facilities that are exclusively for rohus. Any facilities that you can find in the human district can also be found in the rohu district, too. Rohus have their own delegates and congressmen represent and speak their voices for their political rights. A typical world summit will have delegates from all the three districts attending the meeting.

For centuries we humans had been striving to turn everything automatic or robotic and researching on robotics, which led to the birth of rohus. Humans had been working on how to lower the cost of employment and enroll rohus in the production manpower to do the work which humans may have difficulty or be reluctant to do. Meanwhile, rohus had been thriving to seek ways to become as humane as possible. For instance, despite the fact that rohus also have artists who compose music, make movies, paint or create sculptures, rohus often come to inter-district to ask a human artist to help them create part of their art works for them because the art work created 100 percent by rohus is well calculated and programmed from basic geometric figures, which usually results in too balanced and dull art work. Rohu artists love the imperfect lines, shapes and
