Chapter 34: Experts Arrive and the

~8 min read 1,539 words

On the day the inspection team arrived, the sky was just getting light.

Wang Hao's dad, Wang Guoqiang, directed the master craftsmen in the factory to sweep the cement road at the factory entrance until it could reflect people.

The old man even took down the "Happy Spring Festival" banner that was only hung during the New Year.

Temporarily replaced it with a red-bottomed yellow-lettered "Warmly Welcome Leaders to Visit and Guide."

Exuding a simple yet unrestrained sense of ritual.

Feng Yan wore his only shirt that wasn't stained with solder or instant noodle oil.

The collar was choking him a bit.

He looked at the partners in the warehouse who were still doing final checks.

His heart was pounding like a rabbit, the kind of rabbit that had drunk Red Bull and was ready to dance.

"I say brothers," he cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound less like he was about to go to the execution ground.

"No matter who comes later, let's remember one thing:"

"We are here to show 'possibility,' not to perform 'perfection'."

"This place of ours, it's mainly 'original ecological tech style'!"

Wang Hao was holding a piece of suede, wiping his "Haoyu Precision Delivery System" prototype hard, responding:

"Understood! It's like a blind date, bare-faced, love it or hate it! Anyway, we have the goods in our belly!"

Li Yang didn't speak, just tightened the aviation plug behind the "Iron Wolf" exoskeleton again.

Making a crisp "click" sound.

Chen Guang was checking his pile of optical lenses over and over, the lenses reflecting the lights.

Making it impossible to see his eyes, but his tightly pursed lips exposed his nervousness.

At nine o'clock sharp, several black sedans slid into the factory area silently.

The doors opened, and seven or eight middle-aged and elderly men with different temperaments got out.

Some wearing crisp Zhongshan suits, their hair combed meticulously.

Some wearing casual jackets, their eyes sharp enough to pierce steel plates.

And an old professor wearing thick glasses, exuding the word "academic" all over.

Leading them was an old man with a spirited look and peaceful eyes.

Accompanying him was Section Chief Wang, who was smiling but had a hint of "please don't make any trouble" in his eyes.

Feng Yan hurriedly led the team to greet them, with a professional but sincere smile on his face:

"Leaders, experts, you've worked hard all the way! Welcome to our 'Iron Wolf Workshop' current temporary R&D base."

The Zhongshan-suited leader looked at the surrounding environment.

His gaze swept over the stacked fireworks semi-finished products, the faint smell of nitrate in the air.

And the slightly messy but imposing sign at the warehouse entrance.

The corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly: "Hmm... very characteristic. Grounded."

Feng Yan's internal OS: 'Leaders' speech is art, these three words "grounded," the connotation is rich!'

Section Chief Wang hurriedly smoothed things over, introducing:

"This is Team Leader Zheng of the inspection team. Old Zheng, this is Feng Yan and his team that I reported to you."

After the pleasantries, Feng Yan bit the bullet and began his "tour guide" journey.

The first stop was the strange-styled "Insect Workshop."

As soon as they entered, the experts of the inspection team were collectively silent for three seconds.

The scene before them was indeed a bit surreal.

On one side was the old-fashioned machine tool that Wang Hao didn't know where he picked up, with the paint almost falling off, buzzing and processing a micro-part;

On the other side was Chen Guang's high-precision optical calibration instrument emitting a cold sense of technology, with red laser lines precisely positioning in the air;

On the workbench, complex structural parts made by Li Yang using a 3D printer and temporary brackets made by Wang Hao using soda can skins coexisted harmoniously;

In the corner, that "Spider One" enshrined in a transparent box.

Seemed to be silently telling the legend of its birth.

That academic-style old professor pushed his glasses and leaned over to a micro-milling machine that was working.

Looking at it processing a gear smaller than a grain of rice, he couldn't help but ask: "This precision... how do you guarantee it?"

Before Li Yang could speak, Wang Guoqiang, who had been listening from the back of the team, couldn't help but interject with his heavy-accented Mandarin.

"Leader, this thing, it's the same principle as the fireworks fuse we make!"

"The hand must be steady, the heart must be fine, the strength must be used in the clever place!"

"Look at this cutter head, if the speed is too fast it won't work, too slow it won't work, it has to be based on feeling!" He even gestured with his hand.

Wang Hao almost covered his face on the side: 'Dad! Feeling?! You think this is cooking!'

Unexpectedly, Team Leader Zheng laughed and said to Wang Guoqiang: "The master craftsman is right."

"Many precision manufacturing, in the end, rely on experience and 'hand feel,' which data cannot replace for a while."

He turned to Li Yang: "Young man, I heard you have a spider made of barbecue skewers, can I see it?"

Li Yang walked silently to the display table and took out "Spider One."

Placed it on a rough ground used for testing, and pressed the switch.

"Buzz..." In the faint motor sound, the eight bamboo skewer legs of "Spider One" started to move clumsily but firmly.

"Click click" crossed a small dirt clod, and tried to pull a screw cap next to it that was used as an obstacle.

The movement was slow, even a bit funny, but that sense of "life" couldn't be faked.

That sharp-eyed jacket-wearing expert squatted down, almost lying on the ground.

Staring at the joint movement of "Spider One" for a full minute.

Then he looked up, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes:

"Asymmetric foot-end structure? Is it imitating the grip of arthropods?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and he nodded:

"Yes. Currently, it's just verifying the basic movement logic and terrain adaptability."

"The train of thought is very tricky." The jacket-wearing expert evaluated concisely.

He stood up and didn't say anything more, but the look in his eyes at Li Yang was clearly different.

Feng Yan felt secretly happy: 'It works! Sure enough, the real big shots know their stuff!'

Then they visited "Iron Wolf" and "Xiao Bai."

Seeing that huge thing with hard lines and matte black.

The expressions of the experts finally became serious.

Team Leader Zheng walked around "Iron Wolf," his fingers tapping lightly on its leg armor, making a dull sound.

"Is the material self-developed?" he asked.

Li Yang replied: "The base layer is high-strength aluminum alloy, and the key stress points are compounded with carbon fiber and ceramic sheets."

"Lightweight, protection level can meet the needs of urban environments and basic field protection."

"What about the energy system?"

"It uses the high-density 'Xuanwu' solid-state battery pack provided by 'Open Source Energy'."

"Supports full-power operation for about 50 minutes, charging efficiency..." Li Yang started reporting data, his tone stable, carrying the unique confidence of a tech geek.

On the other side, several experts showed strong interest in "Xiao Bai."

Watching the robot dog perform squats, jogging, crossing obstacles, and other demonstrations smoothly.

An expert asked: "What level is its autonomous decision-making ability?"

Chen Guang pushed his glasses and took over the conversation:

"Currently, it has achieved real-time obstacle avoidance and path planning based on preset rules and sensor fusion."

"For long-term tasks in complex dynamic environments, more advanced intelligent algorithm support is needed."

"This is the focus of our next cooperation with the AI team."

He spoke clearly and logically, citing data accurately, instantly stunning the scene.

Wang Hao seized the opportunity and started promoting his "Haoyu Precision Delivery System."

He didn't have so much professional terminology, just picked up a model and gestured.

"Leaders, look, this thing, the principle is similar to a Skyrocket Monkey, but we added a 'brain'!"

"Let it go east, it won't dare to go west, let it draw a circle..."

"Currently it might draw a bit of an ellipse, but the basic skill of hitting where you aim is solid!"

"And the cost is low, suitable for... suitable for mass production!"

His explanation, which was a mixture of "fireworks terminology," made several experts laugh.

Team Leader Zheng pointed to Wang Hao with a smile:

"Your 'mass production' hit the nail on the head. Modern warfare sometimes also fights for cost and scale."

After the initial visit, Feng Yan secretly observed the expressions of the experts.

The initial surprise and scrutiny were gradually replaced by curiosity, interest, and even a hint of imperceptible amazement.

The heart that had been hanging finally fell by half.

'Looks like,' Feng Yan complained internally, 'this pot of "stew" of ours.

The taste is exotic, but the ingredients are hard enough, and it really aroused the interest of the national banquet chefs!'

He took a deep breath, knowing that the real test was still in the formal demonstration session later.

But at least, this first hurdle was successful. ===== CHAPTER 35 =====

But at the very least, this first hurdle can be considered a success.
