420: Chapter 420 Quality Assembly Looks Down On
Chu Qianlan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Lin Yu and Ma Yuanlong and said, "The interaction logic of the intelligent voice assistant needs further optimization. Add some personalized settings, such as customizable voice wake-up words and adjustable response speed, to cater to the habits of different users."
"Additionally, when the qiming phone is being adapted to the Tiandao OS, perform another round of deep optimization targeting the hardware characteristics of the integrated Chip to push fluency and power consumption control to the limit."
"Understood!" the two replied in unison.
Lin Yu added, "The personalized settings feature is already under development, and we expect to push the update package next week. The deep optimization of the Tiandao OS is also underway simultaneously, focusing on background process management and resource scheduling algorithms. It will be pushed to users via OTA updates later."
Chu Qianlan walked to the testing area of the R&D laboratory, watching the engineers conduct drop, water resistance, and high-temperature tests on the engineering prototypes in extreme environments. A flash of approval passed through his eyes.
"Quality control cannot be relaxed. Every single phone must undergo strict testing; we cannot allow any defective products to enter the market."
Ma Yuanlong stepped forward: "Rest assured, CEO Chu. We have established a 'Triple Quality Inspection' system. The automated testing equipment on the production line will perform the first round of screening, the manual inspection team will be responsible for the second round of detailed checks, and we will conduct sampling tests on the full units before they leave the factory to ensure the product qualification rate reaches over 99.9%."
Just then, Su Yezi hurried into the laboratory, holding an urgent document in her hand: "CEO Chu, news has come from Xingyuan Exploration; there is a new development from the American courts."
"Synopsys, Intel, and other companies have jointly submitted supplementary evidence, claiming that our Xingxiang Instruction Set infringes upon another one of their core patents, and they are demanding that the court expand the scope of the trial."
Chu Qianlan took the document and quickly scanned it, a cold smirk curling at the corner of his mouth: "A stalling tactic with no novelty. Since they cannot produce substantive evidence, they can only rely on continuously adding accusations to consume time. Tell the Legal Department to respond according to the established strategy."
He paused, then added, "Additionally, notify Qu Feng to accelerate the preparations for the global patent litigation. Determine the first batch of targets for lawsuits in Europe and Southeast Asia as soon as possible, and apply sufficient pressure on those giants."
Su Yezi quickly noted it down: "Understood! I will sync this with President Qu and the Legal Department immediately."
After Su Yezi left, Lin Yu looked at Chu Qianlan's calm expression and couldn't help but ask, "CEO Chu, will the American patent litigation affect the overseas launch plan for the Qiming 4th Generation?"
Chu Qianlan shook his head: "The impact is limited. The overseas launch of the Qiming 4th Generation focuses on Southeast Asia and some European countries, and our core patent layout already covers these markets, which is sufficient to handle potential risks."
He raised his hand to check the time, his tone carrying a touch of decisiveness: "Keep a close watch on the prototype submission for testing and the processing of the network access license. Strive to officially release the Qiming 4th Generation in early October."
"As for the patent litigation at Xingyuan Exploration, they will handle it themselves, so you don't need to worry. The core task now is to make the product well and let our market strength do the talking."
Ma Yuanlong and Lin Yu nodded heavily, their eyes filled with determination.

Chu Qianlan returned to the top floor of the No. 3 R&D building and beckoned a few security personnel to move the components for making the Maintenance Robot to the small intelligent production line.
Under the precise control of the Nuwa System, the silver robotic arms operated smoothly along the preset trajectories like agile dancers.
Fifteen customized robotic arms had a clear division of labor in a circular collaborative mode; some unpacked the components, some precisely grabbed micro-sensors, and others focused on circuit welding.
The central intelligent conveyor track transported the components orderly to each workstation, making the entire production process smooth and seamless.
Chu Qianlan stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window, tapping his fingertips against the glass, his eyes fixed on the production data jumping in real-time on the screen.
The main frame of the Maintenance Robot had initially taken shape, its special alloy shell glowing with a cold metallic luster, and the wear-resistant coating provided by Hanxing Materials evenly covered the surface.
"Nuwa, check the assembly precision of the core components." Chu Qianlan issued the command to the hidden microphone.
"Command received, checking assembly precision of core components." An electronically synthesized voice rang out clearly. A 3D scan model immediately popped up on the screen, with red lines marking the assembly deviations of various parts. "The robotic arm joint assembly error is ±0.003 mm, and the visual recognition module positioning deviation is ±0.002 mm, both of which meet the design standards."
As the command was issued, a high-definition camera popped out from the end of the robotic arm responsible for inspection, scanning the assembled parts 360 degrees, with data transmitted back to the Nuwa System in real-time for analysis and comparison.
Chu Qianlan leaned over to check the screen; the internal structure of the Maintenance Robot was clear at a glance. The high-precision sensors provided by Deep Blue Semiconductor were precisely embedded into the reserved interfaces, the wiring was arranged neatly and orderly, and the solder joints were smooth and full.
"Optimize the welding parameters and increase the strength of the circuit solder joints by 15%." Chu Qianlan added the instruction. He knew very well that the Maintenance Robot needed to frequently operate precision equipment, and the stability of its core components directly determined its service life.
"Received, optimizing welding parameters." The Nuwa System responded quickly. The robotic arm responsible for welding made fine adjustments to its movements, the welding current and time were adjusted simultaneously, and the solder joint strength simulation curve on the screen immediately rose.
Just then, the robotic arm responsible for transporting components suddenly paused, and the speakers transmitted a warning from the Nuwa System: "Detected a 0.01 mm size deviation in the micro-welding electrode. Continue assembly?"
Chu Qianlan frowned slightly, walked quickly to the material rack, and picked up a spare micro-welding electrode to compare.
This batch of electrodes was a substitute manufactured by a domestic factory according to the blueprints; although it could meet the basic functions, the precision was indeed slightly inferior to the overseas original parts.
He pondered for a moment and said to the Nuwa System, "Ignore the deviation and continue assembly; we will compensate and correct it through algorithms later."
"Received, ignoring deviation, continuing assembly." The robotic arm restarted, carefully installing the micro-welding electrode in place. The visual recognition module repeatedly confirmed the installation status to ensure good contact.

In Yanjing City, at the National Convention Center, Du Guangbai was attending this year's Internet Conference.
Although Xinghai Technology had decent influence at home and abroad, it could only be considered second-tier at the conference, still lagging far behind Tencent.
Because Chu Qianlan rarely participated in company management, Du Guangbai had to represent the company at these influential meetings.
Just as he was discussing future development with several internet company executives, President Ma from Tencent suddenly walked over.
President Ma wore a stylized smile on his face, holding a glass of champagne, but his gaze swept over Du Guangbai with a hint of scrutiny: "CEO Du, does Xinghai Technology look down on the Internet Conference? Why does your CEO Chu repeatedly fail to attend?"
