62: Chapter 62: Copyright Acquired, This Phone Costs Only 799 Yuan? The Entire Internet is Stunned!

After Doraemon powered down, the blue light in his eyes instantly extinguished, and he turned back into a quiet sculpture.

The calmness on Lu Li's face had, at some point, shifted into a hint of subtle disappointment.

"Good work."

Lu Li spoke faintly, a single sentence that shattered the lingering excitement in the office.

Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the exquisite blue Robot, and added his final conclusion:

"This thing is not yet a Robot."

"It is just a remote-controlled toy that is made quite realistically and is also quite expensive."

As the words fell, the air seemed to solidify at that moment.

The smile on Engineer Zhang's face froze completely; his overflowing excitement and pride felt as if a basin of liquid nitrogen at minus one hundred degrees had been poured over his head, chilling him from head to toe.

Confusion, grievance, bewilderment... various emotions intertwined on his face.

How did it become a toy?

Chen Shuyu even revealed a look of "as expected"; Lu Li was indeed not satisfied, even though she had originally wanted Lu Li to praise her.

Su Qingxue also knitted her beautiful brows. She did not understand; the mechanical structure was made so meticulously, and the materials were chosen with such care, so why was Lu Li reacting this way?

Lu Li ignored everyone's expressions.

He turned and walked to Su Qingxue's computer, inserted a USB drive, tapped on the keyboard a few times, and brought up several encrypted files.

These were the parts regarding the AI architecture and operational logic from the blueprints he had originally given to Chief Engineer Zhang Jianguo.

"Look at this."

He pointed at the extremely complex logic circuit technical explanation on the screen, his voice returning to its usual flatness.

"The core of a true Robot has never been this shell, but the brain."

"It is the autonomous learning ability based on neural networks, the environmental perception and dynamic decision-making system, and the algorithm that can continuously optimize its own actions through observation, imitation, and trial and error."

Lu Li turned around, pointing at the quiet Doraemon. His voice was not loud, but every word carried immense weight, striking everyone's hearts.

"You have created a perfect shell, and that is worth affirming."

"But its soul—that is, Xiao Dou AI—has not yet been implanted."

"Without a soul, it will forever just be a puppet that follows instructions, never learning to tidy up the room by itself, never learning to give you a hug when you are sad, and even less likely to become a true 'companion-type Robot'."

In the office, there was a deathly silence.

Chen Shuyu, Engineer Zhang, Su Qingxue, and Secretary Wang Qiuge, the four of them stood stunned in place as if struck by lightning.

A sudden realization!

The small bit of complacency from just a moment ago was instantly replaced by a larger, deeper sense of awe.

They finally understood.

The gap between them and Lu Li was not a gap in technical level, but a chasm in cognitive dimension.

They were still thinking about how to assemble parts into a machine, while Lu Li, from the very beginning, was thinking about how to create a "lower life form."

This was the difference between a craftsman and a creator!

Looking at the disappointed yet shocked expressions of the group, Lu Li knew that the purpose of his scolding had been achieved.

He pulled out a cigarette, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and lit it gently.

His more magnificent goal was enough to replace the shallow sense of achievement they had just felt.

He took a few puffs to refresh himself, decisively took the cigarette from his mouth, and began issuing clear instructions:

"Chen Shuyu, have the legal department start immediately. At any cost, buy all copyrights regarding the Robot category for Doraemon on a global scale.

Additionally, register patents for all our existing mechanical structures, servo motors, and drive methods to build a patent barrier."

He turned to Chief Engineer Zhang Jianguo, his tone becoming a bit more serious:

"Engineer Zhang, next, Qin Ya will represent the Smart Vision AI company to cooperate with you and assist you in adapting and implanting the initial version of Xiao Dou AI into the prototype. They have made certain breakthroughs in key technologies like camera scene recognition. As long as the production line for the Robot's core motherboard is sorted out, the phased work will be initially completed. If there are technical difficulties, tell me; I will solve them when I have time."

Hearing this, everyone present had complex expressions.

Is it useful to tell you? You are either playing games or lying on the sofa watching shows.

It would be better to ask the advanced version of Xiao Dou AI on your phone.

Lu Li, of course, did not care what they were thinking.

He added: "When Doraemon can serve tea and water and clean up by itself, we will film a first-person vlog, using short videos to make the whole world go crazy for it."

His words were clear and his goals were specific.

The team's sense of loss was quickly replaced by an unprecedented excitement.

After arranging this project that was enough to subvert the world, Lu Li acted as if he had only done a small thing.

He lay back on the sofa, adjusted to a comfortable position, and said to Su Qingxue:

"By the way, that 799 Yuan Pioneer Youth Edition can be released."

"No need for a special press conference; just post the news on Weibo first, and use the absolute low price to complete the final blow to Tianqiong Technology."

Lu Li's composure in handling two epoch-making projects simultaneously made Su Qingxue's eyes fill with stars, and she also ignored the fact that he was smoking in front of her.

This guy had clearly promised her he wouldn't smoke.

But today, it could count as an exception.

Just then, Chen Shuyu's phone rang.

After answering the call, a hint of joy appeared on her face:

"Lu Li, Qingxue, the legal department sent news that we won the first instance of our lawsuit against Zhang Yuqing for breach of contract! The court ordered him to pay us 35 million in liquidated damages!"

But her tone changed, and she worriedly added: "However, his lawyer has already filed an appeal in court. It looks like he wants to use judicial procedures to drag it out."

"Expected." Lu Li didn't even lift his eyelids.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't possibly spit out the money so easily.

Su Qingxue nodded and was about to speak when her phone also vibrated.

It was because she had just listened to Lu Li and instructed the operations department to officially announce the news of that 799 Yuan phone on the official Weibo of Guanghui Technology.

[Pioneer Youth Edition, the first smartphone for young people! October 29th, officially on sale!]

Below, a detailed configuration chart was also attached.

[Processor: MediaTek P20]

[Screen: 5.5 inches, 720P LCD screen]

[Camera: Rear 12MP, Front 5MP]

[Memory: 3GB+32GB]

[System: Star OS (Youth Edition)]

[Xiao Dou AI Assistant (Care Edition)]

This Weibo post had been out for less than three minutes.

The comment section exploded instantly.

But this time, it was no longer the previous carnival and praise.

Instead, it was one-sided, overwhelming questioning and abuse.

[Is Guanghui Technology crazy? Which trash heap was this configuration picked out of? It's almost 2018 and they're still using a 720P screen?]

[Isn't this processor electronic trash? I heard it lags even when playing Honor of Kings.]

[I'm going to puke, 13MP rear camera? Dreaming back to 2014? My grandma's senior phone is better than this!]

[This configuration is obviously for selling to the elderly. If it's 1400, it's too expensive. The pioneer s1 hasn't even been released yet, and they already want to harvest fans like leeks? The goodwill that was built up has been ruined in an instant!]

[Trash configuration, identified as electronic trash! Guanghui Technology has fallen!]

The public opinion trend instantly became subtle.

Countless competitors hoped to see Guanghui Technology make a fool of itself.
