Chapter 84: World Drone Competition

After Sun Dongnan finished speaking, he couldn't even let Li Mingyang reply, and he really couldn't suppress his excited tone, his face full of admiration as he exclaimed:

"Junior brother, I have to say you are truly the most talented person I have ever seen, without equal."

"Originally, when I first heard you wanted me to design a drone control system for you, I actually didn't care much."

"After all, I thought you were just a freshman junior, what amazing product could you possibly design?"

"It was just that you thought you had learned a bit and wanted to make a little toy yourself."

"But now, after seeing our finished product, especially this max version of the drone, I realize I was truly blind back then."

"With such a drone, not to mention students, even if you look at all drone products worldwide, this performance is enough to crush everything."

"After all, even if they could make something with the same performance, they couldn't solve the endurance problem."

"Only you, junior brother, can give the drone extreme performance while also solving the power issue."

Saying this, Sun Dongnan struggled to control his excited expression and tone, then turned to Li Mingyang with a look of anticipation.

"By the way, junior brother, have you given our drone a domineering name?"

Hearing this, combined with Sun Dongnan's tone, Li Mingyang knew exactly what this kid wanted to do.

"However, as for the name, he really hadn't considered it at all."

Although Li Mingyang had indeed put a lot of effort into this drone, and had invested much work and hope into it.

He planned to make this drone the flagship product of his future drone company, using it to open the market.

But to say how much Li Mingyang valued this drone… he actually didn't feel that strongly inside.

After all, even the drone company was just a fleeting idea in Li Mingyang's mind.

For these little gadgets, even if they could shine differently on the battlefield in the future, they were not what Li Mingyang pursued as his goal.

And yet he persisted, wanting to start a drone company, also because he had seen the flair of DJI in his previous life.

Since he had such an opportunity and the ability, why not just seize it and establish a similar company?

Although he now already possessed battery technology, and had received calls from two teachers, and had already reached a cooperation with the state.

Even if he did nothing in the future, he would still have huge amounts of money flowing in every day.

But surely no one in the world would complain about having too much money in hand?

Moreover, Li Mingyang's hobbies and aspirations are outright money‑sucking black holes, even though the state provides ample research funding each year.

But if Li Mingyang wants greater freedom, to research whatever he likes as he pleases.

Even if he ultimately wants to establish a large research base, recruiting vast talent for his own use, money is an unavoidable factor.

So since the opportunity is now before him, Li Mingyang should seize and properly utilize it.

"Junior brother, junior brother? Could it be that you've already thought of a name?"

After asking that, Li Mingyang didn't answer for a long while; Sun Dongnan hesitated, then cautiously tried again.

To be frank, although he himself is a doctoral student at Harbin Institute of Technology, and his teacher is likewise an outstanding academician, Sun Dongnan's own level among his fellow students is not outstanding.

After all, even up to now, he has never participated in any major national‑level projects under his teacher.

It's not that the teacher doesn't want to bring him along, but Sun Dongnan knows he hasn't met those requirements.

Thus Sun Dongnan's career plan is quite clear: after graduation, he will go out to find a company and get a job.

Although his level among the teacher's outstanding disciples is nothing special, if he went out into the world…

It's not that Sun Dongnan is arrogant; among the talent out there, people with his level are truly few!

However, all these thoughts changed after he met Li Mingyang and after they jointly built this drone with their own hands.

Because of this junior brother Li Mingyang and the drone they built together, Sun Dongnan saw hope.

He saw hope that could let him achieve greater accomplishments.

If the junior brother really intends to rely on the drone to start a company…

The early stages of entrepreneurship are always tough, and the junior brother is a genuine genius, so Sun Dongnan has full confidence in Li Mingyang.

Believe that as long as Li Mingyang is willing to put more thought into the drone, capturing a niche in today's relatively primitive drone market is not especially difficult.

And if I were to join the junior brother's drone company now, in another eight or ten years I wouldn't become a veteran of the company?

By then, relying on that status, plus the junior brother's naturally magnanimous manner,

Sun Dongnan felt he might not fail to become the enviable successful person others talk about.

"No, I really haven't thought about this; if senior brother has any good suggestions, feel free to say them."

"Let's all consider it together; if it's suitable we'll just use it, anyway I don't have much talent for naming."

"If senior brother could come up with a suitable name, saving me some brain cells, that would be perfect."

Sun Dongnan's two calls brought Li Mingyang out of his daze; after a leisurely smile, he directly decided to hand over the naming rights to Sun Dongnan.

Much like the other's idea, Li Mingyang also thought Sun Dongnan was talent; if he could serve as a founding member of his drone company, that would be most fitting.

If merely picking a name, such a small matter, could make the other remember his kindness, this would be an extremely profitable deal and a way to win people's hearts.

"Peregrine Falcon! This is the fastest flying animal in nature; I think this name is truly very fitting for our drone."

"And let's call our first drone Peregrine Falcon One."

"By the way, I also have a suggestion: in one month, in Nanjing there will be held a world‑class drone competition."

"I think this is a perfect opportunity for us; almost all drone enthusiasts will focus their attention on this competition."

"If our drone can stand out in the competition…"
