Chapter 842 - 446: The Eerie Meeting Atmosphere and the Origins of the Round Stone Ancient Immortal

Chapter 842: Chapter 446: The Eerie Meeting Atmosphere and the Origins of the Round Stone Ancient Immortal

The conference room was warm as spring, with a faint floral fragrance diffused in the air.

In the front row of the audience, Bai Mo held his disciple Mianmian Fruit, drank tea, and listened to Zheng Yu giving his report.

He saw Zheng Yu open a slide, currently talking about the waterproof reliability of the new drone.

"...For waterproofing, we’re not only using rubber gaskets, but also structural waterproofing, hydrophobic materials, and multiple methods used flexibly..."

Listening, Bai Mo sighed from time to time.

He had to admit... when it comes to technology, Zheng Yu does have something!

Mianmian Fruit curled up in his master’s arms, rubbing his head against his master, eyes narrowed, face full of happiness.

Next to them, Hua Yuyue pushed up his glasses, listened intently, and occasionally lowered his head to jot down some notes.

On Hua Yuyue’s other side, Professor Zhang sat relaxed, smiling as he looked at Zheng Yu onstage.

In his mind, Qing Lu Ancient Immortal sat beside a campfire, casting a gaze outward and chuckling lightly.

"Hahaha, your style of conference, the Ancient Immortal Dynasty once had it too."

Professor Zhang didn’t quite understand.

"The Immortal Dynasty has an Emperor, has Princes, has Marquises—shouldn’t all the big and small matters be decided in a single word by them?

"Why would they still need meetings?"

The Ancient Immortal shook his head.

"Of course, they needed meetings as well.

"The Emperor and the Princes can indeed decide things with a single word.

"But human energy is limited; it’s impossible for one person to handle everything.

"You also need roles like staffers, advisors, think-tankers, strategists, to hold meetings, to discuss, to help the Emperor and Princes come up with ideas."

On the podium, Zheng Yu had reached the technical details. Gradually he found his rhythm, entered his own state; his sentences became smoother, his breathing steadier, his whole posture straightened bit by bit, and the more he spoke, the more energized he became.

"...The tracking algorithm for wireless charging is a tough problem.

"It’s very similar to the auto-charging of household robot vacuums: both need the machine to find its own charging dock.

"But the application scenario for robot vacuums is two-dimensional.

"Drones have to find the charging dock in three-dimensional space.

"We need an extremely reliable, extremely secure way for them to locate the charging dock.

"Actually... we need to thank Expert Bai Mo for this; he helped us solve a huge number of problems."

His thanks were open and unreserved; he even gave a slight nod toward Bai Mo in the front row.

This wasn’t about buying votes of approval... it was an engineer genuinely expressing gratitude and recognition.

Some attendees in the audience raised their eyebrows one after another, feeling things were getting a bit messy... Wasn’t Expert Bai Mo supposed to oppose this thing? Then how come he’s providing technical support for it?

Sitting in the front row, Bai Mo smiled back at Zheng Yu.

Honestly... he himself didn’t remember when exactly he had lent his support.

Every day, the problems he had to help the Immortal Committee solve were all sorts of things, chaotic and miscellaneous.

Some problems were very abstract, with no concrete application scenario; he had no idea what they were for.

So somehow, muddleheaded, he ended up supporting it?

Zheng Yu flipped the slide and continued his explanation.

"Next, I’ll introduce the onboard processor of our aircraft..."

The content he covered was neither overly long nor too short.

By the time he finished it all, it had been exactly two hours.

After the applause, Hua Yuyue stood up, went to the stage, and took the microphone.

"Alright, Expert Zheng Yu’s demo and report are now complete.

"Of course, time is limited today, so we couldn’t go into great detail on many things.

"There will be more detailed materials to follow.

"Without a doubt, this is an excellent achievement. Our preliminary plan is to incorporate this type of drone into the Eye of the Human World project.

"In the future, the camera surveillance that blankets cities and villages, streets and alleys, main roads and side lanes...

"Drones that can circle in the sky, dart into back alleys, and fly into dark corners...

"And the artificial intelligence deployed in server rooms everywhere to perform image processing... ℴ

"All of these will link together, taking in everything in the Human World at a glance, forming the Eye of the Human World system, to safeguard the Human World!"

The audience erupted in applause at once!

Everyone looked at Hua Yuyue, smiling and clapping hard.

In Bai Mo’s arms, his fox disciple Mianmian Fruit also tilted up his chubby head and clapped with his Fox Claw... Although he hadn’t understood what Hua Yuyue said, foxes are very sly! In a situation like this, when everyone is clapping, he follows along and claps too, clapping on behalf of his master.

Hua Yuyue said with a smile,

"Today, experts from all fields have gathered here not only to listen to a report.

"We also hope everyone can speak freely, and from more professional and more diverse angles, share your viewpoints.

"We will take every comment into serious consideration!

"Alright, everyone, raise your hands to speak!"

Behind Hua Yuyue, Zheng Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead; his expression relaxed a lot, and he even showed a smile.

The report was done!

Professor Hua Yuyue’s stance had given him a real shot of confidence as well!

Then they saw a bald-headed engineer in the audience stand up first, take the microphone, and clear his throat.

Zheng Yu didn’t know this engineer, but in his impression, engineers tended to be fairly straightforward.

Then he heard this engineer start.

"I think it’s not suitable.

"Drones still aren’t stable enough, not mature enough, and aren’t suitable to be incorporated into the Eye of the Human World system."

At these words, the whole room was shocked.

Holding his disciple, Bai Mo even frowned slightly.

"Granted, Expert Zheng Yu has put a lot of effort into enhancing the stability of the drones.

"He has also spent a lot of effort explaining their stability.

"He has likewise invested a lot of effort testing that stability.

"But we need to understand that the Eye of the Human World is a colossal system that covers all of Jiuzhou.
