127: Chapter 127 The First Firewall of the Low Entropy Workshop

July 11th, 2:00 PM.

Jiangcheng University, Optoelectronics Building, third-floor small conference room.

Professor Lu Zhixing sat by the window.

Jiang Lin sat opposite him.

On the table lay a laptop, a black hard drive case, a transparent engineering box, and several printed documents.

Inside the engineering box was the white POM foot assembly that had appeared in the G-01 public video.

The titles of several documents were also enough to explain the purpose of today's meeting.

[Low-Entropy Intelligent Equipment Technology Roadmap]

[Low-Entropy Robotics Product Line Planning]

[G-01_Mine Gravel Slope Reproduction Technical Field_01]

[Entity Establishment Requirements List]

The conference room door was pushed open.

Two people walked in, one behind the other.

Leading the way was a woman in her early thirties.

She wore an impeccably tailored dark gray worsted suit over a wrinkle-free pure white silk shirt, with her hair tied in a low bun behind her head.

In her right hand, she carried a black briefcase.

Behind her was a young woman around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

She wore a ponytail, carried a heavy laptop backpack, and held a thick kraft paper file folder tightly with both hands.

On the side of the file folder was a temporarily printed self-adhesive label.

[Low Entropy Workshop Project | Initial Boundary Identification]

Professor Lu Zhixing immediately stood up and motioned toward the leading woman. "Come, Jiang Lin, let me introduce you. This is Lin Guanlan, a partner at Hengfang Intellectual Property & Legal. Lawyer Lin majored in Automatic Control for her undergraduate degree. After earning her Bachelor of Engineering, she went to Fudan to switch to Intellectual Property Law. She has extensive experience in robotics, semiconductors, and intelligent equipment."

Then, Professor Lu Zhixing turned his gaze to the young woman behind her.

"This is Zhou Minglan, a senior patent engineer on Lawyer Lin's team. She has a dual background in Physics and mechanical engineering, and today she'll be in charge of our meeting minutes and preliminary archiving of underlying technical points."

Lin Guanlan extended her hand toward Jiang Lin.

"Mr. Jiang, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Jiang Lin stood up and shook her hand.

"Lawyer Lin, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Jiang."

Zhou Minglan behind her also bowed and nodded politely, then nimbly pulled out a chair slightly behind Lin Guanlan, neatly arranged the file folders, and smoothly opened her laptop.

Both sides took their seats.

Zhou Minglan created a new Markdown file and synchronized it to the conference room's projection screen.

[Low Entropy Workshop Project IP and Corporate Boundary Initial Identification | Meeting Minutes | 2022-07-11]

After sitting down, Lin Guanlan focused her gaze on Jiang Lin's unusually young face.

"Mr. Jiang, before we formally dive into the technical documents you have, according to Hengfang's compliance procedures, I need to establish three things first."

Zhou Minglan's fingers hovered over the keyboard, ready to record.

"First, today's meeting belongs to the initial contact and conflict check phase prior to establishing a formal client relationship. Pursuant to the 'Lawyers Law', legal practice codes, and Hengfang's internal information barrier policies, our side bears a duty of confidentiality regarding all non-public technical information, business plans, and personal circumstances disclosed today. This temporary non-disclosure confirmation before the meeting has already been signed by Engineer Zhou and me on behalf of our team."

"This means that even if you decide not to sign with Hengfang within twenty-four hours after today's meeting ends, or if my evaluation concludes that the legal risks of Low Entropy Workshop at this stage exceed our scope of representation, our side will absolutely not disclose any non-public technical details or business concepts learned today to any entity, including Professor Lu, Jiangcheng University officials, or any third-party investment institutions. Engineer Zhou is currently logging this point, which will automatically generate a timestamped encrypted log."

Jiang Lin glanced at the projection screen and nodded.

"Second, conflict of interest search. After Professor Lu officially extended a private invitation to me at 11:04 PM last night, my team completed a dynamic database search of all registered clients of Hengfang over the past five years before 1:30 AM today. It is currently confirmed that my hard tech IP partner group does not represent any adversarial matters directly related to mine inspection or high-risk specialized robotics mentioned in your materials. Furthermore, we do not serve as exclusive IP advisors for potential competitors such as Unitree Robotics, Xiaomi's Robotics Department, or Boston Dynamics Greater China's agency. We are completely clean at the legal level, with zero potential contamination of interest stances."

"Third, today we will not ask you to present any full source code, core control framework, unpublished mathematical manuscripts, or irrevocable trade secrets. The first meeting is solely for boundary identification, not core material reception."

Hearing this, Professor Lu Zhixing sitting nearby quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew a bit about these lawyers' rules. Without this complete declaration of cleanliness, once technology at Jiang Lin's level was exposed and later caught up in international litigation, conflicts of interest alone could drag a startup company into a bottomless abyss.

Drag a startup company into a bottomless abyss.

"Finally, and most importantly for today."

Lin Guanlan leaned slightly forward, her voice cool and carrying a clear note of warning.

"During the three hours this afternoon, I will not request, and strictly prohibit you from showing Engineer Zhou and me, any full source code regarding the G-01 control algorithm. I do not need to see your raw manuscripts of underlying mathematical models, I do not need you to provide any uncompiled core dynamic link libraries, and even less do I need you to hand over any irrevocable underlying core trade secrets. The purpose of this first meeting is not asset reception, but boundary identification."

"Asset stratification is precisely what I need as well," Jiang Lin replied.

"Very good." The corners of Lin Guanlan's mouth curved slightly into a tiny arc as she turned to signal Zhou Minglan.

Zhou Minglan immediately finalized the core framework under the first section of the Markdown file.

[1. Establishment of Compliance and Privilege: Completed potential representation NDA, zero conflicts of interest detected, core source code isolation and blocking principles.]

Lin Guanlan opened her briefcase on the table and pulled out a set of materials she had annotated.

They were frame-by-frame screenshots printed from the video released yesterday by Low Entropy Workshop.

"Then let's jump straight into the risk assessment section."

Lin Guanlan pushed one of the screenshots in front of Jiang Lin.

That screenshot happened to be a close-up shot of the right-side terminal log flashing frantically during G-01's mysterious 0.4-second pause before the third obstacle board.

"Low Entropy Workshop's public video has now surpassed 600,000 views across the entire network. Laymen watch it for entertainment, but for motion control experts at Boston Dynamics, Unitree Robotics, or several domestic military automation institutes, this is a reverse-engineering clue map packed with immense information."

Lin Guanlan's slender fingers swept across the few lines of code logs in the screenshot.

"The public video is already out, which is a done deal. Within the framework of patent law and IP law, this is called prior art disclosure. Although you didn't expose the core code, it doesn't mean you are completely safe. Any structures, steps, and technical effects that can be directly and unambiguously identified by a person skilled in the art from the video could become prior art material used by examiners or competitors to challenge novelty and inventive step in the future. What we can salvage now is not the parts already fully exposed, but the control links, parameter systems, data generation methods, and safety state machines that were not directly revealed by the video."

Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Jiang Lin, speaking with fluent confidence.

"Therefore, we need to conduct the most thorough reverse-review right now. Mr. Jiang, could you explain in engineering terms whether you accidentally dropped any hidden cards or left any backdoors in this 1-minute and 59-second video?"

Jiang Lin reached out his right hand and pushed the transparent engineering box containing the white POM foot assembly forward slightly.

"What the public video shows is merely the presentation layer."

"Could you elaborate a bit more? Specifically, which presentation layers?"

"Specifically speaking, the public video contains no complete control framework, no key parameters, no training data, no structural redundancy of the real engineering version, and no version design for more complex environments."

Zhou Minglan's fingers flew across the keys, translating every sentence from Jiang Lin into a rigorous checklist.

"Mr. Jiang, your awareness of engineering defense is far more solid than I imagined."

Lin Guanlan nodded.

"However, I must ask you a core question from the dual strategic perspective of business and law: since you clearly knew that releasing a public video would entail huge IP risks, why didn't you choose complete physical isolation and absolute secrecy?"

Professor Lu Zhixing, standing nearby, also turned to look at Jiang Lin.

This was also a riddle he had always wanted to fully understand.

Why would a genius who could have comfortably rested at the top of the ivory tower on pure mathematical achievements choose to step into the mud of the industrial world in such an almost provocative manner?

"To attract Real World scenarios. Unstructured collapse zones deep in mines, ruins after secondary disasters... These extreme unstructured terrain parameters exist exclusively in confidential databases of major specialized industrial giants, the National Institute of Geological Survey, or universities."

Jiang Lin faced Lin Guanlan directly, answering concisely.

"If Low Entropy Workshop were merely a secret laboratory locked inside Jiangda University's Optoelectronics Building, the Real World would never extend an olive branch to me. The high-dimensional unknown terrain datasets in their hands are what Low Entropy Workshop needs to complete its embodied intelligence closed loop."

"Understood. The technology is your bait. So Mr. Jiang, what exactly is the core barrier that you want Hengfang to help you defend using patent and legal weapons?"

"The entire indivisible execution chain starting from terminal dynamic tactile verification, transient local stable region manifold reconstruction, unsteady support phase online redistribution, all the way to the hardware-level closed loop of the safety state machine," Jiang Lin explained.

Zhou Minglan's keystrokes paused briefly, and then she started a new line in the minutes.

[Core Protected Object: Executable pipeline, rather than conceptual descriptions]

Lin Guanlan nodded and instructed Zhou Minglan behind her:

"Engineer Zhou, switch to the second core table. Let's start anatomical asset stratification for this pipeline."

Zhou Minglan quickly pulled up a giant four-column matrix table in the center of the screen.

[Technical Asset Name] | [Public Disclosure Degree] | [Optimal Legal Protection Form] | [Intended Entity Level]

"Mr. Jiang, over the next ten minutes, I will pitch twenty specific engineering questions regarding hardware, algorithms, and protocol boundaries to you."

Lin Guanlan said, looking at Jiang Lin.

"You do not need to reveal any absolute values regarding core torque compensation coefficients or constraint manifold dimensions to me. If my question touches upon your top-secret algorithmic core, you only need to refuse me with the seven words: 'Not included in this meeting'."

Jiang Lin nodded, agreeing.

Lin Guanlan glanced at the G-01 foot assembly on the table, then at the Low Entropy Workshop roadmap on the computer screen.

"So, item number one."

"Regarding the name Low Entropy Workshop, what is your medium-to-long-term positioning for it? Is it merely a content self-media account for Bilibili operations, or the parent trademark and core master brand for a future robotics commercial empire?"

"A brand."

Jiang Lin answered quickly.

"The content account is merely a low-cost, low-entropy dissemination outlet for the current stage. The future company name can be more formal according to business registration requirements, but the four characters 'Low Entropy Workshop' must cover Class 7 industrial robots and mechanical equipment, Class 9 software, sensors and control systems, Class 12 unmanned mobile platforms, Class 35 commercial services, Class 37 repair and maintenance, and Class 42 technical research and development and software services. Defensive expansions can be made when necessary."

"Engineer Zhou, record this. Brand asset team, immediately launch global, all-class blind searches for Chinese, English, and graphic trademarks. Send a risk report detailing all potential malicious squattings or similarity conflicts to Mr. Jiang's email before midnight tonight."

Zhou Minglan typed: [1. Brand Asset: Low Entropy Workshop / Low Entropy Workshop. All-class trademark search and defensive registration application launched, Priority: Urgent.]

Lin Guanlan continued asking: "Item two: the G-01 model code. Is it intended as a specialized product model name for future release into the mining and rescue markets, or merely as a technical line code name for the internal iteration phase?"

"Just a technical line code name," Jiang Lin responded calmly. "G stands for Ground / embodied ground platform. Future commercial product lines will thoroughly branch out according to application scenarios. The G-01 code name won't directly target civilian and special consumer markets; its hardware redundancy is too high and lacks direct universality for commercial cost reduction."

[2. G-01: Classified as underlying technology platform R&D code name. Retain basic model registration protection and IP isolation, avoiding deep binding with any future civilian commercial product names.]

Zhou Minglan rapidly finalized this in the second row.

Lin Guanlan nodded and continued to ask Jiang Lin to what extent the public video had revealed things.

"It revealed the POM foot shape, contact curves, the presence of the elastic layer, and the foot contact verification process..."

Lin Guanlan reacted extremely quickly. Upon hearing Jiang Lin finish, she immediately made a decision: "Engineer Zhou, let's adopt a compound defense strategy of shell patents + trade secret core here. First step, immediately submit two utility model patent applications and one invention patent application in Mr. Jiang's personal name. The patent documents must describe in detail a multi-axis, porous, multi-legged mobile platform end configuration with a viscoelastic buffer layer."

Sitting nearby, Professor Lu Zhixing interjected with some confusion: "Lawyer Lin, since core parameters need to be kept confidential, why describe its physical configuration in the patent without reservation? Wouldn't that be equivalent to handing blueprints to competitors to see?"

Lin Guanlan turned her head and explained patiently: "Professor Lu, the more thoroughly we describe its shape, hole placements, and linkage transmission relationships in the patent document, the more solid the novelty boundary of this patent becomes. It is equivalent to building a high wall that blocks off core positions along G-01's outer shell using compliant legal language in the Real World."

"When others look at this high wall, if they want to copy an identical foot, they must cross our invention patent—which is called literal infringement in legal terms, a guaranteed win in court. But if they try to bypass this wall and redesign a new irregular foot themselves, let them be. Without the core algorithm engine inside the wall regarding sensor decoupling calibration and material dynamic stiffness compensation, the foot they build themselves will only suffer uncontrollable low-frequency chatter on a 37-degree gravel slope."

...

[part:gemini-3.5-flash-lite]

"Mr. Jiang, we need to file a core invention patent here, provisionally titled 《An Adaptive Control Method for Non-Periodic Gaits of Multi-Legged Robots Facing Unknown Complex Terrains》."

"We need to describe the input end as a time-varying multivariate dataset combining joint observations of foot elastic deformation, motor current slope, body angular velocity, and contact phase, and describe the output end as a multi-degree-of-freedom actuator torque distribution vector with time-varying phase differences calculated based on instantaneous terrain topological mapping."

"The purpose of this patent is not to show the world how smart you are. We need to write externally observable technical features into the claims so that it can serve as a handle for evidence preservation, technical appraisal, and doctrine of equivalents infringement claims in the future. We may not be able to directly see the opponent's source code, but we can establish a sufficiently strong chain of infringement presumption through prototype disassembly, operation logs, external torque response curves, and test videos."

Sitting aside, academic leader Professor Lu Zhixing felt a chill running down his spine at this moment.

When doing scientific research projects in universities, writing patents was often just to cope with project completion or boost paper citation counts, and he wished he could write all the innovation points clearly so that review experts could understand them.

...

"Item 5: Test Fields and Real Terrain Datasets."

Lin Guanlan's gaze shifted to the design document on the desk printed with three dirty mine site photos.

As a senior partner who had long dealt with major semiconductor and intelligent equipment manufacturers, her sensitivity to data, scenarios, and testing systems sometimes even surpassed her focus on the algorithms themselves.

"Many startup teams with technical backgrounds often make a common-sense mistake. They spend 99% of their energy protecting the robot itself with patents, yet allocate 0.1% of their energy to the complex terrain test fields and scenario datasets used to train and verify the robot."

Lin Guanlan tapped the photo printed with the 37-degree desperate gravel slope.

"Mr. Jiang, you mentioned in the roadmap that this morning, a leading domestic special inspection robot company packaged and sent you their most core complex terrain point cloud data of Underground Shaft No. 3, gravel particle size distribution histograms, and wet cinder friction coefficient test reports. Here, I must remind you that if the ownership boundaries of this asset are not handled well, not only will it fail to become your moat, but within the next three months, it will become evidence that puts you in the defendant's seat."

"Reason?"

"Under the current framework of the Data Security Law and civil and commercial laws, what this special inspection robot company provided to you belongs to their internal collaborative data assets precipitated from long-term high-risk operations within their enterprise, naturally carrying extremely strong exclusivity and scenario ownership attribution."

Lin Guanlan's tone was very serious.

"This means that without their secondary explicit written authorization, you cannot directly turn the test results containing these specific mine elevation parameters and coal dust humidity into the next public demonstration video of Low Entropy Workshop. Even more, you cannot write these specific particle size distribution characteristics directly into your patent documents regarding the generation method of non-repeating obstacle boards. Otherwise, as long as the opposing party's legal department cross-checks similar characteristic parameters in your published patent, they can instantly apply to the court to freeze your future company's corporate accounts on the grounds of infringement of trade secrets and data rights, data processing permissions, confidentiality obligations, and contract licensing boundaries, and forcibly order Low Entropy Workshop to stop all on-site grayscale testing."

Hearing this, Professor Lu Zhixing sitting aside suddenly came to a realization: "Jiang Lin, that morning the mining inspection company sent emails so readily, stuffing all that confidential point cloud data of Underground Shaft No. 3 to you without reservation. I was wondering how these energy guys became so generous at the time. Turns out, this is an overt scheme of playing technical 'hatching chicks with borrowed hens' and pushing the boat with the current on intellectual property against us."

...

Jiang Lin extended his left hand and turned the design document named [G-01_Mine Gravel Slope Reconstruction Site Technology_01] to the third page.

On that page, using the neatest formatting, he forcefully pulled out a breathtaking two-layer digital twin testing architecture diagram.

"My reproduction test field has been divided into two layers at the dynamic model level from day one."

"The first layer is called the General Complex Terrain Generation Paradigm Manifold, which is simply a set of purely mathematical abstract methods. It contains no specific mine names, no specific coal dust humidity parameters, and even less any specific broken sleeper photos. What it defines is how to use Markov random fields in 3D virtual space and ground physical entity fields to high-frequency generate high-dimensional non-repeating obstacle geometric groups whose slope variance fluctuates between 0 and 45 degrees, surface friction coefficient randomly distributes between 0.1 and 0.8, and spatial constraint boundaries discretely jump between 20 cm and 150 cm. This set of paradigms and its physical mechanical lifting calibration field belong 100% to Low Entropy Workshop in terms of property rights, and we will apply for the fourth core methodological invention patent here."

Subsequently, Jiang Lin's finger moved to the right side of the architecture diagram.

"The second layer is called the Specific External Business Grayscale Project Package. The real gravel, cinder, and fractured sleeper samples transported by heavy trucks from this mining inspection company, as well as the point cloud data they sent over, will be fully isolated and locked in a local area network stand-alone computing power node disconnected from the external network. These data only serve as a set of specific input boundary conditions for the general generation paradigm manifold, used to piece together that 37-degree hell test area one-to-one in the physical field."

"After the project ends, if they do not sign a desensitization and precipitation agreement, this independent business project package will execute data erasure and destruction within twenty-four hours. However, since the internal core neural network and safety state machine of the general generation paradigm manifold have completed another global convergence of the algorithm phase space through the sharpening of this specific set of data during the process of training the robot—Attorney Lin, under the current Data Security Law, there is no law stating that a carbon-based organism that has eaten an apple containing specific impurities and evolved stronger toxin resistance must spit out the newly generated immune cell antibodies inside its own body back to the orchard that sold the apple."

Sitting in the back, Zhou Minglan couldn't help but gently take a sharp breath upon hearing this, breaking out in goosebumps all over her body.

This guy not only used the highest-dimensional mathematics when solving the robot's inverse kinematics equations, but even when facing the trickiest and dirtiest data property disputes in the Real World, he actually used a set of breathtaking physical isolation whitewashing logic at the algorithmic level.

...

Three-forty in the afternoon.

"The technology and barbed wire have been drawn out pretty much. Now, we need to talk about the real container that bears all this—the company entity."

Lin Guanlan pushed a one-page corporate organizational structure draft urgently drafted by the Hengfang team before coming over in front of Jiang Lin.

Lin Guanlan took a page of pre-prepared framework paper from Zhou Minglan.

"Mr. Jiang, the first item in your requirements list says a limited liability company structure with multi-layer firewalls. My suggestion is not to make a complex holding structure in the first stage. You currently don't have a huge R&D team, employees who need stock options, official production lines, nor have you entered a sensitive period requiring overseas offshore structures to evade regulation. Starting with a complex multi-layer structure, aside from adding audit costs to bookkeeping firms and tax departments for no reason, has zero practical engineering significance in intellectual property protection."

Lin Guanlan pointed the tip of her pen at three boxes clearly separated by thick black lines on the draft.

"But you need to split Low Entropy Workshop into three independent parts in terms of legal entities."

"The first part, Jiangcheng Low-Entropy Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., which is your external operating entity shell in the Real World. It is responsible for signing site lease contracts with Jiangda University's engineering training center, signing purchase orders with brushless motor suppliers in the south, undertaking commercial testing services for that mining inspection company, and undertaking all livelihood product sales and after-sales services in the future."

"The second part, Low-Entropy Technology Asset Management Co., Ltd., which is responsible for holding all future full-category core trademarks, appearance design patents, social media account ownership, and public-facing brand communication outlets. These assets are authorized to the aforementioned intelligent equipment company for use in the strictest written contract form in a one-way, paid, and revocable manner. Once the aforementioned entity shell encounters a serious engineering production safety accident in field testing, or gets involved in a huge contract fraud lawsuit causing the entity shell to face bankruptcy liquidation, this firewall will instantly activate a one-way withdrawal mechanism to ensure that the brand asset of the four words Low Entropy Workshop does not fall into the court's compulsory execution liquidation asset pool."

"The third part, Jiang Lin's personally controlled core algorithm library."

"This is an algorithm isolation library belonging solely to you personally. The real-time inverse kinematics solver source code, Kalman state observer matrix, and Lyapunov candidate function truncation strategies that we sorted out just now and which are not included in this meeting—these core algorithms do not enter the operating company's balance sheet and are not treated as disposable assets for financing due diligence. The operating company only obtains a limited use license for compiled modules. The source code, training pipeline, parameter generator, and safety state machine master copy are held by Jiang Lin personally or his wholly-owned technical asset entity."

"Even if investment institutions want to invest 100 million or 200 million into you in the future, what they can buy shares in is only that bottom-tier intelligent equipment limited company responsible for doing the dirty and tiring work. Any attempt by them to forcibly browse the source code of the core algorithm library through the board of directors and due diligence will be directly blocked outside at the legal level in front of this personal vault defense line by the personal property rights granted to you by our country's Civil Code."

Professor Lu Zhixing, sitting aside, had listened until his whole body was almost numb.

The rule shock he received this afternoon even exceeded the sum of all cognitive shocks he had received in the academic world over the past decade or more.

...

Four-ten in the afternoon.

As the shadows of the sun moved westward, Zhou Minglan's Markdown meeting minutes file had reached the seventh section, and the underlying legal defense landscape of the entire Low Entropy Workshop had been outlined like on a high-precision engineering drawing.

However, when Lin Guanlan's fingers turned to the second page of the third document named [Low-Entropy Robot Product Line Planning], the senior lawyer's brow furrowed slightly once again.

I saw in black and white that below the high-end line [G-01 Complex Terrain Special Platform], three lines of massive codenames targeting the mass livelihood and industrial foundation markets stood out abruptly side by side.

[M-01: Low-speed Indoor High-risk Elderly/Child Care Mobile Platform Base]

[W-01: Small Low-to-Mid-end Automated Warehousing and Paperless Small Factory Inventory Platform]

[P-01: Low-speed Unmanned Inspection Base for Open Campuses, Old Communities, and Underground Garages]

"Mr. Jiang, your round of adjustments and supplements is very sharp in the dimension of the commercial closed loop."

Lin Guanlan drew two heavy circles on [M-01] and [W-01] with the tip of her pen.

"You are very clear that relying solely on industries like high-end mine inspection and high-risk special rescue—although the unit price is extremely high and IP barriers are extremely heavy, its procurement delivery cycle is usually eight months to over two years, and it is highly dependent on the financial budget flows of local state-owned enterprises and research institutions. High barriers absolutely do not equal fast and healthy cash flow. Without livelihood and basic warehousing cash flow product lines that can achieve tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of large-scale industrial mass production and high supply chain reuse to continuously supply blood behind you, this huge hardware computing power monster called Low Entropy Workshop is very likely to collapse due to the exhaustion of subsequent R&D capital chains before the third grayscale testing period even passes."

Speaking to this point, her tone turned abruptly.

"But as a senior partner who has handled sixteen cases involving personal casualties and major property losses, I must state the ugly words upfront here this afternoon. Once robots leave the pure experimental prototype stage and begin entering homes, warehouses, and open campuses in large quantities, what smashes head-on into you in the Real World will no longer be the Jacobian matrix in academic papers, but the Civil Code and product liability lawsuits."

"For example, if M-01 enters homes to care for the elderly and children, it is possible that during operation, due to the high-frequency sporadic failure of a certain sensor, it knocks down an 80-year-old elderly person in the living room, causing a fracture. Or when it is backing up, its POM connecting rod pinches off the finger of a two-year-old infant."

"If W-01 is to automatically take inventory of goods in a warehouse, it is possible that during its shuttle, its MPC trajectory controller experiences a singularity position divergence, causing it to gently knock down a 5-meter-high heavy-duty shelf, triggering a domino-style collapse of the entire logistics center."

"If P-01 patrols underground garages at night, it is possible that in a turning blind spot, due to a component drift of the visual perception and radar fusion algorithm, it fails to timely recognize a pedestrian bending over to tie shoelaces, directly crushing him under the wheels."

...

Lin Guanlan's voice echoed in the small conference room, full of realistic impact that stripped away all ivory tower fantasies.

"Jiang Lin, in the face of these real accidents that could happen at any time, any disclaimer or user profit-and-loss statement you wrote in the Bilibili dynamic updates of Low Entropy Workshop will not play much of a role in front of the product liability joint infringement precedents of our country's Supreme People's Court. At that time, eyeing you won't just be the victim's family and the internet-wide public opinion, but also market regulatory departments, product quality supervision spot checks, defective product recall procedures, and the administrative penalties and civil compensation that may ensue."

Although knowing it was none of his business, Professor Lu Zhixing beside him still felt his back stiffen and sweat slightly as he listened.

"Attorney Lin, users will never be the experimental subjects of Low Entropy Workshop."
