265: Chapter 265 The Transformation of Three Generations of ID Cards, Top-Tier Facial Modeling

Yang Yueru was the most well-behaved.

She controlled the Anti-gravity Vehicle cautiously, moving with a very light touch.

She was a bit nervous at first, but she quickly discovered that the system would automatically calibrate her center of gravity. As long as she didn't fidget, the entire Anti-gravity Vehicle was so stable it hardly felt like she was flying.

She slowly relaxed, a smile appearing on her face.

"Cousin, this is really stable!"

The three of them circled slowly at a low altitude over the lake.

The elders below watched, feeling both nervous and proud.

Second Aunt couldn't help but take out her phone to record a video.

The younger aunt recorded while muttering, "Slow down, slow down, don't fly too high."

Chen Wanqing voiced her concern, but her eyes held a hidden sense of wonder.

Lu Jianjun stood to the side with his hands behind his back. On the surface, he remained calm, but his gaze never once left the children from beginning to end.

Just as the three of them were having fun in the sky, Lu Li's phone vibrated twice in succession.

He looked down at it.

Second Aunt had sent a transfer. Three hundred thousand.

Immediately after, the younger aunt also sent one. It was also three hundred thousand.

Lu Li frowned slightly.

Before he could type anything, messages from both aunts arrived one after another.

Second Aunt's message read: "Xiao Li, you should take this money."

"We know this amount of money is nothing to you."

"But you let us live in such a nice villa and even put the property rights in our names; we really feel bad about it."

The younger aunt followed up immediately: "That's right, Xiao Li."

"We don't have much ability, and this is what the family has saved up over the years."

"Please don't think it's too little."

"Living in your house for free makes us feel uneasy."

Lu Li looked at the messages, his frown deepening.

He didn't hesitate and immediately refunded the money.

At the same time, he replied: "No need."

"The house would just be empty otherwise."

"I'm the one who asked you to move in."

"Don't overthink it."

However, not long after, the two aunts transferred the money to Chen Wanqing and Lu Jianjun instead.

Lu Li: "..."

He looked up toward the distance.

The two aunts were standing by the lake, acting as if nothing had happened, still watching Wang Peng and the others fly.

But the occasional glances they cast toward him were clearly filled with a bit of embarrassment.

Lu Li felt a bit helpless for a moment.

He told Su Qingxue about this.

After listening, Su Qingxue didn't immediately tell him to refund it again.

She glanced at the two aunts, then looked at Lu Li.

"Let Mom and Dad keep it for now."

Lu Li frowned. "It wasn't easy for them to save up this money."

Su Qingxue lowered her voice so only the two of them could hear. "Precisely because it wasn't easy, they want to give it to you even more."

"If you refund it directly now, they will feel like they are taking advantage of you."

"Accepting it isn't necessarily about the money."

"Sometimes, it's just to make them feel better."

Lu Li was silent for a moment.

Su Qingxue continued: "There will be plenty of ways to compensate them in the future."

"Jobs, dividends, benefits, insurance—all of that can be arranged slowly."

"But as for this money today, if you keep refusing to accept it, they won't be able to live here with peace of mind."

Lu Li looked at the two aunts. They were clearly his elders, yet in this matter, they were as cautious as if they were afraid of causing him trouble.

Finally, he let out a soft sigh. "Alright."

"Let Mom and Dad hold onto it for now."

Su Qingxue smiled. "Mm."

Lu Li looked at his family by the lake, his heart actually feeling quite conflicted.

Moving the aunts' families here was ultimately due to his influence.

They originally had ordinary but stable lives.

But now, because of his status and the danger involved, many things had been forced to change.

Even the original jobs of his two uncles-in-law might no longer be suitable for them to continue.

Although he could arrange positions for them within Guanghui Group and ensure they would be well-provided for the rest of their lives, this kind of impact was something he had brought upon them himself.

He wasn't afraid of enemies coming after him.

But once his family was involved, he had to consider every step more carefully.

The three of them were having a blast in the sky.

Lu Li and Su Qingxue stood by the lake, and the conversation slowly turned to serious matters.

Lu Li asked, "How is the press conference preparation coming along?"

Su Qingxue naturally shifted into work mode. "The date is set for January 5th."

"The flow has already gone through three rounds of review."

"The Anti-gravity Vehicle will be the main theme."

"But we won't reveal all the application scenarios right from the start."

Lu Li nodded. "What about production volume?"

Su Qingxue said, "The number of mature test models is limited."

"Currently, it's mainly small-scale engineering verification."

"The special versions you specified earlier are already in trial production."

She didn't go into too much detail about the specific directions.

Some things needed to be saved for the press conference as a surprise.

"The requirements from the special departments have already been coordinated."

"The first batch of engineering units isn't large, but it's enough for demonstrations and pilot programs."

"The version truly intended for the public still needs to wait for the safety system and airspace management rules to be further refined."

Lu Li hummed in acknowledgment. "Don't overpromise at the press conference."

"Leave room for imagination."

Su Qingxue nodded. "I understand."

"This press conference isn't just about selling products."

"It's about telling everyone that beyond the ground, there is a new path."

Hearing this, Lu Li smiled.

It actually subtly aligned with Lu Yaoguang's earlier remark about "building a road to the sky."

Su Qingxue recalled another matter. "By the way, there's a new breakthrough from the Virtual Software R&D department."

Lu Li looked at her, signaling her to continue.

Su Qingxue said, "They have performed a secondary upgrade on the software functions of the Virtual Helmet."

"It can now integrate more deeply with the public security system's identity verification functions."

"In the future, data collection for the third-generation ID cards can be partially completed through the Virtual Helmet to model facial data."

"This type of collection isn't just a standard 2D photo, but more complete dynamic facial features."

"As long as it's networked nationwide and combined with the city's Skynet, identity recognition and security management will take a huge leap forward."

This wasn't a simple software function upgrade.

Everyone's facial features would be recorded more precisely.

Identity theft, disguise, and cross-regional criminal activity would all become much more difficult.

Missing persons, abducted children, and individuals with long-term unidentified statuses would also have new paths to be found.

Su Qingxue continued, "The technical department believes that if this system is rolled out, urban crime rates will continue to drop in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Li's eyes suddenly flickered.

He immediately thought of a function he had conceived before.

"If the facial data aspect can be integrated, then the thing I thought of before should be able to go online as well."

Su Qingxue looked at him. "What is it?"

Lu Li didn't answer immediately; instead, he took out his phone. "I'll call Qin Ya first."

At the year-end group meeting, Qin Ya had already been promoted to Vice President of Guanghui Group.

The reason was simple. Her abilities were too strong.

The Smart Vision technology she originally founded had played an important role in many of Guanghui Technology's projects.

From visual recognition to the city's Skynet, and then to the Robot visual system and the facial capture of the Virtual Helmet, almost all of it was tied to her line of work.

Chen Shuyu had once been so frustrated by this that she gritted her teeth.
