Ji Yuan had no intention of overly involving himself in politics; he was very clear about his position, which was to be an unparalleled great scientist. He couldn't be bothered with the various noisy voices online and preferred to stay in the laboratory, working on fixing and improving some minor issues with the Patriot One related to the recent evacuation incident. The leaders couldn't find him and knew better than to disturb him, so they simply turned to Ji Fu.
Recently, Ji Fu had been riding high; everyone knew that he enjoyed privileges because of his father's status, allowing him to speak with authority in front of the leaders. After basking in his newfound influence for several days, Ji Fu finally remembered his precious son.
"Hey, son, what are you up to?"
"I'm doing the final adjustments on Patriot One."
"Son, listen to your father. A man shouldn't be so reclusive; it can lead to being single for too long! You should at least go out, meet some friends!"
"The further I am from the mundane world, the clearer my mind becomes."
Before Ji Fu could respond, Ji Yuan continued, "What have you been doing? You sound out of breath! You’re not sneaking off to have fun behind your mother’s back, are you?"
He couldn't help but suspect! After all, who didn't know how men were? Those who remained unperturbed in such situations were definitely a rare breed! Nowadays, his father was wholeheartedly focused on developing in the film industry, surrounded by a host of stunning stars and charming young actresses.
Those women's eyes light up every time they see that father and son, as if they can't wait to pounce on them!
"Old man, I'm over fifty!" Ji Fu cursed.
"Just yesterday, I saw a news story about a seventy-year-old man getting a college student pregnant!" Ji Yuan shot back without hesitation.
When men get rich, they turn bad; when women turn bad, they get rich!
"Stop overthinking things. Just wait, I'll video call you!" Ji Fu was so annoyed by his son. "I'm at the gym right now, don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up and called Ji Yuan for a video chat.
Ji Yuan immediately rejected the call. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I’m busy!"
If his old man dared to video call him for proof, he must have some confidence. Besides, what kind of son would meddle in his father's affairs?
In the laboratory, a group of people were tidying up the equipment and clutter on the table.
"Boss, do you think our Patriot One can be used as a civilian robot?" A tall and slender young man in his mid-twenties adjusted his glasses and hesitated before speaking.
The technology of Patriot One is just too advanced!
Even if the weapon mounting system and flight system are deleted, it is still much more powerful than the mainstream robots in the world. More importantly, the problem of Ark Reactor is that once Patriot One is promoted to the civilian field, the technology is basically equivalent to being open to the public. Foreign technological powers may only need to spend two or three years to copy it to prevent similar products from being produced. It is just like when America just launched Smartphone a few years ago, a large number of domestic copycat companies have the ability to imitate it. "It doesn't matter even if Patriot One cannot be used for civilian purposes. We still have Patriot Phone. This business can already support our R&D business. We are not short of money in a short period of time!" Scientific research is very expensive, and huge investments may not necessarily have corresponding returns. If you are unlucky, it will all go to waste. This is especially true for scientific research with a long payback period. This is also one of the reasons why domestic companies are not keen on R&D. This huge uncertainty can easily lead to a significant reduction in corporate benefits and a situation where income is not enough to cover expenses. In more serious cases, companies may even die out. A female researcher in her early 40s nodded first, then shook her head. "Then we have to make plans early and not rely on one leg alone. After all, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries."
