Liang Ziyuan agreed with Ji Yuan. Walking on one leg may allow for a temporary leap forward, but it is ultimately unsustainable.
Research is like a bottomless pit; until results are achieved, it is purely an investment with no returns, requiring continuous financial input. Some large-scale research projects burn through money at an alarming rate, no matter how much funding is available!
"I'll solve this problem!" Ji Yuan said after some thought. He sent the others off to have lunch and then immediately sat down to draft a report requesting the lifting of restrictions on Patriot One for civilian use.
The upper management's concerns about the civilian application of Patriot One primarily revolve around technology leakage. However, there is already a significant loophole regarding the technology leakage issue: Ji Yuan had previously posted a video on Bilibili demonstrating how to make a robot.
Although he had upgraded and improved the Patriot One Robot's technology, the underlying principles had not changed significantly. Given two or three years, it would not be difficult for Western technological powers to replicate robots with performance similar to the first generation of Patriot One.
If this opportunity were missed and the West managed to promote Smartphone robots into commercial use first, leveraging their industrial advantages to systematically and scale down the production costs of Smartphone robots, it would undoubtedly inflict invisible harm on Ark Technology and China.
In Ji Yuan's vision, Patriot One should not be limited to combat or bodyguard robots; it should encompass robots that cater to various demographics. For instance, there could be robots specifically designed for the deaf and blind, helping them live better and more comfortable lives.
There could also be robots aimed at children, primarily focused on preventing them from going missing or being abducted. Robots designed for the elderly could help prevent falls, monitor various physical conditions in real-time, and automatically contact hospitals for emergency assistance if any sudden issues arise.
In addition, a Smartphone robot can be developed for protection against harassment and invasion.
Both men and women should carry a Smartphone robot with them. After all, in this society, boys also need to learn to protect themselves when they are out.
The technology from Patriot One has undergone several upgrades and is now quite mature.
If the weapon mounting system and flight system are removed, its cost and size will significantly decrease, making it affordable even for the average middle class.
The new type of civilian robot will be no larger than a button, with strong adhesion capabilities, allowing it to be attached to clothing and disguised as a button, making it indistinguishable from the real thing to criminals.
Ji Yuan was busy writing when his phone buzzed incessantly. If he hadn't seen that it was his mentor calling, he would have hung up immediately.
He generally does not like to be disturbed when he is thinking because his train of thought is often interrupted by inexplicable matters.
"Hey, mentor, it's me, Ji Yuan."
Zhou Hexuan quickly replied, "I just got news from an alumnus that your company might be in big trouble!"
He didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Ark Technology Limited is being targeted by America, and they are planning to add your company to the entity list sanction program."
Upon hearing this news, he hurriedly informed his student, fearing that he would be so engrossed in research that he would be left in the dark and unable to react in time.
"What?!"
Ji Yuan was so angry he wanted to curse.
His company had only been registered for half a year; how could it already be targeted by America!
Moreover, it seemed that they viewed it as a thorn in their side, wanting nothing more than to eliminate it quickly?!
"Who did I provoke?"
"Hey, wait a minute, director Zhou, which alumnus are you talking about?"
Ji Yuan gradually came to his senses. "Could it be just empty talk? Otherwise, what kind of status does he have to obtain such confidential information?"
It's worth noting that the government hasn't contacted him about this matter yet.
"You little brat!"
Zhou Hexuan laughed and scolded, "Don't underestimate the influence of our Qingmu alumni. Besides, just because the leaders haven't informed you about this doesn't mean they are completely unaware. They have their own considerations; perhaps they are currently communicating with America. A newly established tech company might not be worth the trouble for America to deal with extensively. I'm telling you this secretly just to hope you can prepare early and not get flustered when the time comes!"
Ji Yuan understood the implication in his mentor's words and nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you, mentor, but there's really no need to prepare for such things. It's just a matter of dealing with whatever comes our way."
