412: Chapter 411 He spun his own cocoon, suffering utter disgrace!

"The industrial garbage of the old era should all be swept into the dustbin of history!"

The resounding voice echoed throughout the venue.

A shocking viewpoint that completely contradicted orthodox theory.

It was as if it were a heretical declaration.

It completely touched the raw nerves of many people present.

The entire venue immediately erupted into chaos.

Some emotionally agitated people in the audience could no longer care about the order of the conference.

They stood up with faces full of anger.

Loudly berating Lei Jun's heretical theories.

"This is simply nonsense!"

"Do you even know how the world's industrial foundation was developed?"

"What core technology do you have, to dare to overthrow bionic mechanics, which has gone through several industrial revolutions and accumulated over hundreds of years?"

"Just relying on your pittance of money?"

"Just relying on your Dami Technology, which made its fortune by copying others?"

"Go have your damn pipe dreams!"

"..."

Some Chinese entrepreneurs who rose to success on the winds of the era were actually not very highly educated.

When they opened their mouths to retort, they didn't care about logic.

Their main approach was to include a high volume of profanity.

They berated Lei Jun on stage so much that he furrowed his brows.

His expression grew increasingly ugly.

"Stay calm!"

Seeing that the situation was starting to verge on losing control, Chief Designer Bai Yannian decisively cut the microphone.

"No personal attacks!"

Out of respect for the leader.

The cursing gradually subsided.

The voices of those reasoning became prominent.

"Lei Jun!"

"The waverider configuration of the Xuan Nu Aerospace Fighter is a bionic design!"

"The Luan-niao Aerospace Mothership and the Kunpeng Submarine Mothership don't even need to be mentioned; they are completely bionic in shape from top to bottom!"

"In your eyes, are the epoch-making Xuan Nu, Luan Bird, Kunpeng, and other military equipment all just industrial garbage?"

"Is it only humanoid mechs, which have extremely unreasonable structures, completely do not conform to physical dimensions, and have no practical value, that are the path to the future of Chinese industry in your eyes?"

"That's pure bullshit!"

"..."

"Lei Jun!"

"Guess why the robot vacuums on the market have to be made flat instead of humanoid, holding a broom in one hand and a mop in the other?"

"This kind of idea!"

"Is even more ridiculous than those space warriors in American sci-fi movies who insist on using lightsabers for melee combat when they clearly have laser guns!"

"Lei Jun!"

"..."

Everyone chimed in one after another.

Bombarding Lei Jun on stage frantically.

But Lei Jun's expression had already returned to calm.

He maintained a faint smile throughout.

Possessing a composure akin to enduring insults with equanimity.

A few minutes passed.

Because everyone's emotions were very high.

No matter how the staff tried to maintain order, they couldn't control the scene.

Chief Designer Bai Yannian had no other choice.

He made a decisive decision.

Directly announcing that due to major controversy over Dami Technology's industrial intentions.

The following session would be changed to an open Q&A debate format.

The officials would select a few authoritative representatives from among those with the strongest objections.

To act as spokespeople for everyone.

And conduct a one-on-one Q&A with Lei Jun.

Soon.

The first person to ask a question was selected.

It was none other than Academician Zhang Chuming from the School of Mechanical Automation at Jingda University, who had once won the National Highest Science and Technology Award.

"President Lei of Dami Technology!"

"Before asking my question, I would like to popularize a little bit of knowledge for you and everyone present!"

"Does everyone know why we humans suffer from herniated discs?"

Academician Zhang Chuming's voice was very loud.

Not waiting for others to answer.

He began to answer his own question directly.

"It's very simple!"

"Evolution!"

"In order to use tools, humans gradually abandoned walking on four limbs over millions of years, evolving into an advanced state of walking upright on hind limbs and flexibly using tools with forelimbs!"

"But this has resulted in the weight that should have been borne by the forelimbs becoming a burden on the waist!"

"This!"

"Is the key factor for why humans develop herniated discs!"

"And it is also the most magical part of nature!"

"Besides the lumbar spine, the human body configuration has many imperfections, and compared to other species, it indeed has innate disadvantages!"

"For example!"

"Fish swim faster in the ocean than humans!"

"Birds fly in the sky faster than humans..."

"Oh, excuse me, humans cannot fly!"

"..."

The whole venue burst into laughter.

Immediately after.

Cheers and applause rang out continuously.

Academician Zhang Chuming's popular science lesson based on evolutionary theory.

Was vivid and not without humor.

It immediately won the approval of the vast majority of people.

But in the main seat, listening to the word "evolution," Lin Mo's brow furrowed.

Academician Zhang Chuming looked around.

After nodding in acknowledgment.

He continued to speak.

"Nevertheless, even though we humans have not evolved perfectly, resulting in many defects in our body structure itself!"

"But fortunately."

"Compared to all other species, the organ that we humans have evolved to the highest degree is precisely our intelligence center—the brain!"

"Clever humans who are good at learning, imitating, and using tools!"

"Soon made up for their shortcomings!"

"Thus, artificial dual-wing aircraft modeled after the aerodynamic patterns of bird wings, which is what we commonly call airplanes, were born!"

"In addition, there are helicopters modeled after insect wings, surface ships modeled after fish fins, deep-sea submarines modeled after fish swim bladders..."

"These are the practical applications of bionic mechanics in our engineering technology!"

"In essence."

"The fundamental principle of bionic mechanics is that because the universe's physical dimensions and basic laws are too profound, we must constantly explore them to understand even a fraction of them!"

"And by directly imitating the advantageous structures of other biological species, we humans have found a shortcut that we have fully mastered!"

"So I firmly believe!"

"Bionic mechanics will not only not be eliminated by history, but will also adapt to the progress of the times and achieve great leaps and bounds!"

Academician Zhang Chuming stared at Lei Jun on stage.

"President Lei!"

"You are really too presumptuous!"

"I have no objection to you wanting to build humanoid mechs."

"In the great quantum era, any new type of machine that conforms to the basic physical dimensions can be created!"

"But if you are saying that large mechs can replace all large machines currently built based on bionics!"

"Forgive me, but I cannot agree!"

"Even if we in China have currently developed cold nuclear fusion engines and no longer need to worry about energy supply!"

"But you can never avoid the unreasonableness and anti-physical nature of its structure itself!"

"The simplest question!"

"For a large machine of this million-ton level, what kind of terrifying level of material stiffness would be required to achieve a normal loaded maneuver for a humanoid mech?"

"Even if this type of new material really exists!"

"If we use the same materials, technology, and weight, but switch to other structural designs!"

"Wouldn't the volume be smaller, the weight lower, and the performance better?"

"Wouldn't it be easier to mass-produce, save more materials, and be more cost-effective?"

At the end.

Academician Zhang Chuming said sincerely.

"President Lei, the honors you have earned in your life were not easily won."

"Do not entangle yourself in such a doomed endeavor."

"I have said all I have to say."

Academician Zhang Chuming finished speaking.

Thunderous applause lasted for a long time.

The more the logic was explained, the clearer it became.

After the detailed explanation and guidance from Academician Zhang Chuming, a great expert in engineering machinery.

Everyone completely realized the unfeasibility of large mechs.

At the same time.

Many people also felt a bit of bitterness in their hearts.

As one of the top ultimate bigwigs in China, Academician Zhang Chuming.

Was willing to stand up and speak so earnestly.

To put it plainly, he still wanted to save Lei Jun.

Some observant people had also looked into it.

Academician Zhang Chuming had previously served as the Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Handan University for ten years, and he even earned his academician title during his time at Handan University.

Toward Lei Jun, who was the most outstanding graduate in Handan University's history.

He truly had a sense of cherishing talent.

He did not want him to ruin his reputation just like that.

"Thank you, Academician Zhang Chuming."

"You are very right, and your popular science lesson has also benefited me a lot..."

After the applause died down.

Lei Jun on stage also spoke.

Just when everyone thought Lei Jun would definitely take the opportunity to step down and end this farce.

Who would have thought.

Lei Jun suddenly changed the subject.

"But I think."

"Your ideas are still too backward!"

Many people began to cover their foreheads.

He was actually still talking back.

They had seen stubborn people before.

But they had never seen someone this stubborn...

"President Lei, it is best to think twice before speaking."

Academician Zhang Chuming's brow was tightly locked.

He felt he had explained it clearly enough.

And simply enough to understand.

Why couldn't this guy understand?
