Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

"Hey, take a look at these prototypes. I feel like the current technology isn't quite right for making a mechanical spider. Anyway, we still need to experiment. DJI doesn't really need you for the follow-up projects anymore, so you can take charge of this project."

"what?"

Before Wang Tao could react, Chen Yiran continued to add details to the subsequent plan.

"Of course, there's also a first-person perspective drone project that I'll be giving you. From a hardware perspective, first-person perspective should be much simpler. The bare-metal platform isn't much different from the racing frames that hobbyists like to build now, and the power system is also a simple brushless motor."

The main challenges lie in flight control, image transmission, and remote control, but don't worry, I will try my best and check the message board every week to help you solve some problems.

By the way, anti-interference capabilities require frequency modulation, network backup, and an inertial navigation system. My goal is to achieve a unit cost of $1000.

Then, equipped with the matching VR glasses and controllers, they would carry out a suicide mission.

Wang Tao said somewhat hesitantly, "Boss, can I consider it? To be honest, I originally wanted to resign. I can sign a non-compete agreement and no longer be involved in the drone industry."

Chen Yiran ignored him: "In terms of weaponry, I feel that ground robots can never beat drones. This can be seen in ordinary warfare; whoever gains air superiority wins. Not to mention that drones are smaller and more agile, and can even handle urban warfare."

However, these ground-based robots are also valuable, since drones have limited payload capacity and their stability may be affected by various models in the future.

While suitable for suicide attacks, ground robots are less ideal for home security, which requires more reliable capabilities. Furthermore, their role is irreplaceable in disaster relief scenarios.

Wang Tao was a little anxious: "Boss, I really don't want to go out and start my own business. I've recently become interested in the food industry and even acquired a company that makes puffed snacks. I'm planning to have them release some new flavors soon."

Chen Yiran glanced at Wang Tao and asked with some curiosity, "You don't want to make weapons? Is it based on genuine moral considerations, hypocritical moral considerations, or because you don't want to get involved in the conflict?"

Wang Tao isn't actually opposed to making weapons; he's even seen cyberpunk movies, and he doesn't object to his company becoming a big-boss-level enterprise. However, he can't bring himself to say that he's been negatively impacted.

Chen Yiran began to comfort him from the side: "Hey, you see, it's very difficult to not want your products to be used in the military field in the first situation, and the second situation of being afraid of being caught by others is not something you need to worry about."

The third scenario is even simpler: as long as we're strong enough, the conflict won't affect us. Don't refuse too much; it's settled then. I know you don't like talking to stupid people, so just report directly to me.

After a moment of silence, Wang Tao said softly, "That's not the reason. What I mean is, you can do it much faster than me. You don't need me here. If you don't need me, just let me go make the shrimp chips."

Chen Yiran was taken aback for a moment, then retorted, "Why don't we need you! Aurora Group can only develop without you. Besides, if I have to do everything, wouldn't I be a failure as a boss?"

I need to make time to watch F1; the teams are dominating right now, and they're aiming for a back-to-back championships this year. I just acquired the Warriors, so next year I can also catch some NBA games. Also, I've contacted people in London about acquiring Tottenham; my team's trophy room is too empty, I need to find a way to make room for it.

Next month, Apple is going to acquire Warner Bros. We're got Marvel on one hand and DC on the other, and there are so many beautiful actresses. I have to help them audition!

Enough said, you're the one. You'll be in charge of the new project. These prototypes are ones I designed and had someone make on the spot. You can gradually update and research them.

However, with first-person perspective drones as the primary mission, a large number of orders could be received in a few months.

Wang Tao tried to persuade her, but Chen Yiran ignored him, got into the car, and let the driver drive away.

Wang Tao froze for a moment, then chased after him frantically, shouting, "Wait for me! I haven't gotten in the car yet. We came together!"

Chen Yiran spent three days in Singapore and Malaysia, showing Wang Tao around the various factories.

The efficiency of the factories here is actually no worse than that in China. Singapore also has wafer fabs, although they cannot produce cutting-edge 28-nanometer chips.

However, the next level of latte chips can be produced. Singapore and Malaysia are both on the US compliance list, so they can ultimately meet the US requirements.

Because preparations were made in advance, and the factory is operating at full capacity, delivery is expected to take place within two weeks.

Wang Tao resigned himself to his fate and began to integrate the situation from all sides, preparing to work hard.

"Boss, ground robots are indeed more complex, but this first-person perspective drone you mentioned seems quite simple right now. Give me half a month, and I can get it working. But are you sure there will be a market for it?"

"Go ahead and do it with confidence. Remember the cost line of one thousand US dollars; I can sell it for ten thousand US dollars. Do the math: how many bullets does it take to kill one enemy in modern warfare, especially in urban combat where both sides are locked in a stalemate? This suicide drone is much more efficient."

"Okay, I'll get the testing machine made for you as soon as possible."

Chen Yiran left Wang Tao in Singapore and returned to his Silicon Valley base.

On July 9, Chen Yiran and Gao Dewei, along with a group of people, began studying the Maze EDA launched by Google in their office.

Google's EDA company, like Chen Yiran's FlowEDA, emphasizes automated practice of deep learning, which is a completely different type of EDA from the previous three major companies.

In every aspect, it is modeled after FlowEDA.

After a morning of work, all the departments brought over the test data.

Gao Dewei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it seems that there is still a big gap between us. It feels like we can only compete with Mingdao in the low-end market."

Chen Yiran shook his head: "We can't be careless. This is the data we got from Intel. They say they're biased towards us, but who knows what they're really thinking? It's not impossible that they're just trying to fool us."

"So what should we do? Should we do a promotion?"

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "No need. Mingdao is definitely more anxious than us. They will definitely lower prices first and eat up the low-end market. We just need to stay put. In the end, their technology is not as good as ours. No matter how much they fight a price war, the top manufacturers will not choose them."

"They're mainly just using this to make it easier for them to manufacture their own chips. But just you wait, TSMC won't get any benefits. In a few months, I'll make them come kneeling down and begging me."

Gao Dewei knew that Chen Yiran was definitely up to something again, and TSMC was doomed.

"Alright, I'm off. I have important things to do today."

"What is it?"

"My son is 100 days old! An email will be sent to the whole company this afternoon announcing that Aurora Group, Apple, and Samsung are all giving all employees an extra month's salary as a bonus!"

"The boss is generous! But boss, I get paid an annual salary."

Chen Yiran glanced at his old partner who had been with him for four years, and took out a key from his pocket: "Socada TBM850, your fourth anniversary gift to the company."
