240: The things they took apart in Chapter 240 are not right.

At 3:00 AM, the innermost airtight door of the laboratory finally opened slowly.

Cold white light spilled out from inside, shining onto the polished floor of the corridor and drawing a long, bright streak.

Lu Li walked out from inside.

He hadn't really closed his eyes for two days, yet there wasn't much fatigue visible on his face, only a very faint mark between his brows, as if something had been gently pressing down on it.

Su Qingxue had been standing outside with her arms crossed, and the moment she saw him come out, she looked at his face.

Chen Shuyu also straightened up immediately.

Neither of them spoke first.

Because Lu Li's expression already made it clear that the results were not simple.

"What's wrong?" Su Qingxue was the one to speak first, her voice kept very low.

Lu Li didn't answer immediately; he just raised his hand to take off his gloves, tossed them into the recycling bin nearby, and then said calmly, "Let's go inside to talk."

The three of them quickly entered the security conference room next door.

Once the door closed, the entire floor's permissions automatically switched to closed mode, and even the outer glass slowly covered itself with a dark tint.

The large screen lit up.

Sets of disassembly diagrams, material structure charts, joint control curves, and interaction logic models quickly spread out across the screen.

Google Virtual Helmet.

Tesla Robot.

When these two items had first arrived at Guanghui Technology two days ago, everyone's first reaction was about the same—that the foreign side had likely performed reverse engineering on Guanghui Technology's products.

After all, the things Guanghui Technology had been pulling out all along were too intense—the Virtual Helmet, the Robot, the projector—each one was more exaggerated than the last.

If foreign entities really wanted to catch up, the most effortless method would, of course, be to copy by taking them apart, learning from them, and stacking them.

Even if they were a bit faster or invested more heavily, it should essentially still be "catching up."

But now, when Lu Li raised his hand to click on the first set of diagrams, his very first sentence shattered all their predictions.

"It's not simple reverse engineering."

The conference room went quiet.

Lu Li stood in front of the screen, his expression less lazy than usual and more of a rare seriousness.

"In some areas, it's even better than our public products."

When this sentence came out, Chen Shuyu almost subconsciously frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Li didn't explain too much; he directly enlarged the internal structure diagram of the Google Virtual Helmet.

"Look at this first."

"They didn't use our approach for signal noise reduction."

On the screen, layers of complex flow structures and interaction nodes were enlarged, with a comparison chart of Guanghui Technology's current mass-produced Virtual Helmet hanging beside them.

Lu Li tapped his finger lightly, and the differences between the two sets of structures were immediately highlighted.

"Guanghui Technology's current mass-produced Virtual Helmet pursues stability and compatibility."

"Their set, however, is more radical."

"Some interaction mapping modules weren't made by copying us, but the final result achieved is very close."

Su Qingxue watched the screen, her heart sinking little by little.

She certainly understood what this meant.

It wasn't simple copying.

It was more like the other side had also found a viable path.

Lu Li switched to several sets of material parameters.

"And this."

"In a few micro-flow structures, their material strength and heat dissipation efficiency are better than our current mass-production plan."

Chen Shuyu stared at the data for a few seconds, her expression changing instantly.

At first, she had wondered if Lu Li was overstating things.

But with this set of data laid out before her, she couldn't even find a way to refute it.

Lu Li didn't stop and soon switched to the disassembly diagram of the Tesla Robot.

"Now look at the Robot."

He pulled up the joint structures, drive modules, and control curves all at once.

"The truly outrageous thing about it isn't that it can walk."

"It's that it has already started to enter the 'user-friendly' level."

On the screen, sets of motion compensation curves were shockingly smooth.

Lu Li's tone remained calm, yet the more they heard, the more it made one's scalp tingle.

"The dynamic balance is much more mature than expected."

"The center of gravity compensation is very stable."

"The servo details of several key joints, as well as the motion transition control, are even more elegant than our public version."

Chen Shuyu finally couldn't help but speak up: "That's impossible."

After she finished speaking, as if to vent her frustration, she added: "Are they also using cheats?"

The word "also" was very telling, and Su Qingxue rolled her eyes at her.

Listening to Chen Shuyu's joke, Lu Li was silent for two seconds before slowly nodding.

"I also thought it was impossible at first."

"So over the last two days, I personally re-calculated everything several times."

"The result was still the same."

He exhaled gently, a hint of genuine doubt surfacing in his eyes for the first time.

"The biggest problem isn't that they made it."

"It's that they made it too fast."

"Half a year ago, it was still a pile of scrap metal, stumbling even while walking, and now it has actually caught up in these few key nodes, and even partially surpassed our public products."

"This is not the rate of progress a normal R&D team should have."

Hearing this, Su Qingxue had already quietly clenched her fingertips.

She had originally held onto a bit of hope, thinking perhaps the foreign side just had good marketing, or that their demonstrations were flashy.

But since Lu Li had personally taken them apart, calculated them, and laid these data points out, there was no room for luck.

These things were truly not right.

The conference room was deathly quiet for a moment.

The curves and charts on the screen were still flipping page by page, but no one spoke again.

After a long while, Su Qingxue asked in a low voice: "Could it be... that someone really leaked it?"

Lu Li slowly shook his head.

"It looks like it, but it also doesn't."

"If it were really an internal leak, many things wouldn't make sense."

"Because they didn't just 'learn our stuff'."

"They took certain things and pushed them forward a step further themselves."

After this sentence was said, even Chen Shuyu didn't make a sound.

She was the one who knew best just how hard the Guanghui Technology Robot line was to advance.

Precisely because she knew, she felt even more creeped out by how bizarre this matter was.

Lu Li looked up at the large screen, his brows slightly locked.

On it was the internal world of the disassembled Google Virtual Helmet and Tesla Robot; cold, icy structures and excessively precise parameters, like puzzle pieces of a mystery forced together.

He said one sentence in a low voice, not loud, but it made the entire conference room even quieter.

"Where did this kind of technological progress in foreign countries come from?"
