The farmhouse had become a cathedral of ideas. Screens glowed across the room, humming softly, as Betal's interface blinked with thousands of lines of code, graphs, and schematics. Dilli leaned over a sprawling whiteboard, marker in hand, his young mind racing faster than the circuits of any supercomputer in the world.
"Betal," he began, eyes alight with purpose, "CosVerse controls software, communication, social networking, and AI. But the next frontier… the real control of technology is in our hands—literally. Phones, watches, wearables… all the devices people touch every day. And we're going to make them here, from scratch, right in the village."
Betal's voice chimed, modulated yet excited. "Define the parameters, Master. Are we talking assembly, custom chips, or full-stack device development?"
"All of it," Dilli replied firmly. "We'll design the OS, the UI, the processors, sensors, cameras, wireless modules… everything. No imports for core components, only raw materials, local fabrication, and our AI supervision. This village becomes the heart of a new technology ecosystem."
He drew a rough diagram on the whiteboard: two concentric circles. The inner circle represented hardware, the outer software, and in the center he scribbled the word VillageTech Core.
"Step one," Dilli said, "is planning. We need a complete inventory of what's required to build devices from scratch."
Betal immediately began cataloging:
Hardware Requirements:
Semiconductor fabrication facility (photolithography and chip etching)
PCB design and prototyping machines
Surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly lines
Battery production unit (Li-ion or solid-state)
Precision sensors: accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, heart-rate monitors
Optical modules: mini lenses, IR, camera sensors
Connectivity modules: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, network transceivers
Display panels: OLED, AMOLED, touch sensors
Micro-drills, milling machines, laser cutters for chassis and frames
Testing rigs for quality assurance and calibration
Software Requirements:
Operating system kernel design (lightweight, secure, and extensible)
User Interface (UI) framework optimized for touch and wearables
Firmware for device bootloaders and hardware drivers
Device management protocols and app framework
Security layer: encryption, sandboxing, secure update mechanisms
AI-driven assistants integrated at hardware level (Betal embedded)
"Betal," Dilli continued, pacing, "we also need infrastructure: cleanrooms for chip fabrication, controlled labs for PCB assembly, and mini factories for mechanical components. Every station must be monitored, and every failure logged."
Betal's digital tone hummed with anticipation. "Shall I create the digital twin of the facility, Master? We can simulate fabrication, assembly, and integration before real production begins."
"Yes. Build a virtual prototype first. Map workflows for humans and robots. Identify all resource bottlenecks. Optimize energy, water, and material usage. Every process will run at maximum efficiency."
Dilli picked up a stack of notebooks, scribbled equations, and sketched block diagrams. "For software, we'll develop a modular OS that can scale from phones to watches. UI must be intuitive but secure. And every application must integrate seamlessly with CosVerse services—CosConnect, CosChat, CosSnap, CosPlay, CosRoots. Our ecosystem must be self-contained but superior to anything outside."
Betal pulsed, projecting holographic blueprints above the table. "Shall I generate a supply chain map, Master? Localize sourcing for metals, silicon, and polymers. Identify recyclable materials for sustainable fabrication."
"Yes. I want the village to produce everything — raw to finished product. Even the solder and battery components must be locally refined. We cannot depend on anyone outside. Every phone and watch is a testament to our self-reliance."
Dilli paused, fingers tracing the glowing blueprint. "We'll also integrate a robotics-assisted assembly line. Precision work for sensors, lenses, and delicate PCBs will be handled by robotic arms. Humans manage oversight, testing, and production flow. The goal is perfection and scalability."
Betal's tone was calm but resonant: "Estimated timeline for prototyping the first device: six months. Full production-ready line: twelve months. OS and UI integration: ongoing concurrent with hardware development."
Dilli smiled faintly, excitement barely contained. "Start drafting facility layouts. Identify all equipment, labs, and power requirements. Design the robotics workflow. Begin OS kernel planning and UI mockups. We're building not just gadgets — we're building a new civilization of technology in this village."
Betal's lights flickered, almost like a digital heartbeat. "Acknowledged, Master. All plans will be cataloged, simulated, and executed under your supervision. VillageTech will rise."
Outside the farmhouse, the village slept under the stars. Inside, a ten-year-old boy and his AI were drafting the blueprint for a future that no one could imagine yet—a future where every device, every chip, every line of code, and every spark of electricity would be born in the heart of their village.
And in that quiet night, the first pulses of Cosmos United Ltd began to flicker, like the first heartbeat of a living machine.
