417: Chapter 416 Transformation...?

Lei Jun's words were resonant and powerful.

417: Chapter 416 Transformation...?

Lei Jun's words were resonant and powerful.

And this time, there were no longer any dissenting voices in the entire venue.

"That concludes my full response to Academician Zhang Chuming's previous question."

After a long while, Academician Zhang Chuming swallowed the bitter saliva in his throat, shook his head, and sighed.

"Sigh… To be one step ahead is to be a genius, but to be ten steps ahead is to be a madman."

"Forgive my bluntness. It's not that our thinking is backward, but rather that your concept is too crazy and too advanced."

"But I must say… President Lei, you have indeed almost convinced me."

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun immediately responded heartily.

"My dear Academician Zhang Chuming, this is not persuasion."

"Persuasion is forced acceptance; it is forced indoctrination."

"But between you and me, it is the gradual synchronization of advanced thinking, and the formal unification of correct concepts."

People boost each other up, just like carrying a sedan chair. This elegant diplomatic speech not only boosted Academician Zhang Chuming and the other members of the review panel, but also provided a graceful exit for those extreme opponents who had originally been unable to back down.

Seeing that there were no more dissenting voices around, Academician Zhang Chuming had no choice but to shake his head and sigh, then said with a smile.

"You fellow, you are indeed as eloquent and glib-tongued as ever… President Lei, congratulations."

"You have convinced me."

"Regarding the industrial intention of 'Large Mecha,' I have no further objections."

Hearing this, Lei Jun finally heaved a huge sigh of relief. He glanced at the expression of Lin Mo in the main seat, and finally looked at the crowd below the stage, speaking loudly.

"Everyone!"

"Why turn various super-large complex machines into comprehensive humanoid Large Mecha?"

"The essence still lies in the core issue of 'human-machine interaction'."

"Since the Kunlun Armor is about to enter every household and become the 'everyday wear' for every Huaxia citizen, comprehensively replacing over 90% of human-operated complex machinery, why can't we realize the armorization of super-large composite machinery like deep-sea motherships, cosmic starships, and space fortresses in the future quantum era and the era of cosmic exploration?"

"With the foundation laid by Lin Mo."

"We now fully have the conditions, the ability, and the hope to return to the original intention of human-operated complex machinery and realize the comprehensive armorization of human-operated complex machinery!"

Lei Jun looked at the crowd below and said firmly.

"This path is neither a dead end nor a fork in the road!"

"It is a bright path personally pioneered by Lin Mo!"

"Regardless of whether Dami Technology's industrial intention passes the conference selection today."

"We will definitely walk this path!"

"Over the past two months."

"I have conducted as many as 15 in-depth exchanges with Chief Designer Bai Yannian, Chief Zhang Zhaozhong of the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region, and Chief Designer Yang, the person in charge of the Classic of Mountains and Seas Project!"

"Internally, we have also held 5 major discussions among senior management and 3 formal board meetings!"

"Today!"

"On behalf of Dami Technology, I will make the most significant decision!"

"We will take out all of Dami Technology Group's 400 billion in cash reserves, plus combined financial leverage, totaling approximately 1 trillion in project funds!"

"All of it will be invested into the Large Mecha project!"

"We have only one goal!"

"That is to build personalized, modular, and customizable super-large intelligent mecha, allowing every Huaxia citizen to stride into the vast journey of the great interstellar era!"

"I am well aware that this decision is incredibly difficult, and I also know that this project is extremely, extremely difficult!"

"But I want to try!"

"I am willing to wager all the achievements and reputation of my life!"

"To fight for Dami Mecha!"

Lei Jun bowed deeply to the audience.

"Thank you, everyone!"

"My speech is concluded."

"Please, review panel, proceed with the formal evaluation."

"…"

Thunderous applause broke out. The vast majority of those present changed their previous stance and stood up one after another to applaud for Lei Jun.

Soon, under the direction of the review panel chairman, they officially entered the selection voting session. More than 400 review panel members began to cast their secret ballots.

The efficiency of the conference staff was also high. In less than five minutes, the voting results were tallied.

On the podium, Chief Designer Bai Yannian officially announced the final voting results to the conference.

"331 votes in favor."

"8 votes against."

"87 abstentions."

Chief Designer Bai Yannian turned to look at Lei Jun and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, President Lei."

"'Large Mecha' will officially become the core main track of our Huaxia quantum industry."

"Dami Technology Group will also receive comprehensive support from the Huaxia authorities."

Having achieved his wish in one day, Lei Jun could no longer conceal the joy in his heart and embraced his assistant engineer, weeping with joy.

Before attending the conference, he knew clearly that his industrial intention could not possibly pass the conference selection directly. Lei Jun's only goal was to use this Quantum Industry Conference to let his forward-looking idea enter the vision of Lin Mo, and to hope that one day in the future, he could receive strong support from Lin Mo.

After all, the industrial intention of 'Large Mecha' could be said to be completely derived from the core concept of the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor. To put it nicely, it was called 'inheriting technical concepts,' but to be realistic, it was simply 'catering to the leadership's preferences.' Lin Mo, the founder of the Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor, had no reason not to be interested.

The facts proved to be exactly so. Judging from the results, if it hadn't been for that one light sentence from Lin Mo earlier, his industrial intention would have already been eliminated.

Thinking of this, Lei Jun bowed solemnly to Lin Mo in the main seat below the stage.

"Chief Designer Lin."

"Thank you for your support!"

"We at Dami Technology will certainly not let you down!"

Beside him, Chief Designer Bai Yannian indeed felt a touch of appreciation for Lei Jun, this daring and enterprising pioneer of the new era. So he also looked at Lin Mo and said with a smile.

"Chief Designer Lin, you are the father of our Huaxia Kunlun Armor; do you have any other thoughts on Large Mecha?"

Below the stage, Lin Mo smiled and reached out to turn on the microphone.

"I do indeed have some other thoughts."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally slightly noisy venue immediately quieted down. Everyone's gaze converged on the first row, waiting for Lin Mo's next words.

"Academician Zhang Chuming." Lin Mo turned his head to look at Academician Zhang Chuming in the back row and said with a smile.

"I know you still have some concerns. As can be seen from the 87 abstention votes, many people also hold the same concerns."

"Regarding Large Mecha alone, can it really comprehensively replace all human-operated complex machinery?"

"To be honest."

"Even I, the father of the Kunlun Armor, am very interested in Large Mecha, but I dare not make such a definitive conclusion."

This statement from Lin Mo could be said to have set a negative tone for 'Large Mecha.' Lei Jun, on the stage, instantly felt his heart turn cold.

"If that is the case," Academician Zhang Chuming asked with a frown.

"Then why did you speak in support just now? ..."

Lin Mo smiled and interrupted.

"Academician Zhang Chuming, have you misunderstood something."

"I just let President Lei continue speaking; when did I ever express support?"

As soon as this was said, Lei Jun, who still held onto hope, finally felt his heart turn completely cold.

Academician Zhang Chuming asked helplessly.

"Chief Designer Lin, please don't keep us in suspense…"

Lin Mo chuckled lightly, turned around, and looked at Lei Jun on the stage.

"President Lei."

"Your idea is very advanced and worthy of full praise."

"But, it is not advanced enough; you haven't completely let your imagination run wild."

Lei Jun assumed a posture of listening attentively.

"Chief Designer Lin, I would like to hear the details."

Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Does the popularization of 'wearable' mechanical platforms necessarily mean eliminating 'manipulated' mechanical platforms?"

"'Manipulated' mechanical platforms are based on bionic architecture and must have their own value and space for application; how can they be easily eliminated?"

"Why can't we have 'both, and, and also'?"

"Think more about it."

"There are always more solutions than difficulties!"

Following Lin Mo's reminder, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Lei Jun's mind. A term was on the tip of his tongue, but he still couldn't say it.

Just at this moment, Academician Zhang Chuming below the stage spoke up loudly.

"I know!"

"Chief Designer Lin, what you mean is…"

"Transformation?!"
