Seeing the crowd below the stage so excited, a smile appeared on Nick's face.
He then pressed his hands down to signal everyone to quiet down and said, "I know everyone is very excited right now and has many questions to ask, but please calm down first.
After I give a brief introduction of this experiment, you can ask whatever questions you have. We have plenty of time and will try to accommodate everyone as much as possible."
Hearing his words, the crowd finally gradually quieted down. Wiping away some sweat, Nick continued.
"The video you just saw is actually a small part of the swarm formation experiments we've been conducting.
Except for the manual control of the drones at the very beginning and end, the rest of this experiment relied entirely on the autonomous operation of the drone swarm.
In other words, the test content seen in the video was basically handled and controlled autonomously by the drone swarm.
As you can see, when our testers moved a drone out of the swarm array, the entire array was able to detect it in a timely manner and promptly control the removed drone to return to the swarm, thereby ensuring the integrity of the array.
When it was detected that this drone could not return to the queue, other drones could fly over, adapt to its position, and reform the array.
This is the core technology of our work—compatibility and adaptability. This technology allows a swarm equipped with it to always remain in an optimal state.
What is the 'optimal state'? That depends on how you define it. What we set for this experiment was the integrity of the entire swarm.
Of course, you could also set it to 'Guard Mode,' where multiple drones protect and guard one specific drone, keeping it safe from attack or damage."
Nick glanced at the audience, then switched to a new PPT slide and continued, "So we come to the final item, which was also the most difficult part of the entire experiment.
The drone swarm must keep up with the 'lead aircraft' flying in front in real-time while maintaining formation. I believe everyone understands the difficulty and significance of this experiment, so I won't say more about it here."
Having said this, the presentation portion of this technology launch was essentially over, and Nick breathed a small sigh of relief.
However, it wasn't over yet, because next was the Q&A session that gave him the biggest headache.
"Actually, our research and development of this technology is far from complete. This is mainly because the resources we currently possess and control are very limited and cannot support subsequent research.
On the other hand, we are also somewhat confused about how to practically apply this technology and need to gain some insights and inspiration.
That's why we are participating in this exhibition—firstly to showcase our technology, and secondly with the goal of learning and cooperation.
Finally, I hope this technology of ours can take root and blossom, and I also hope it can serve more industries. Thank you, everyone."
After speaking, Nick bowed deeply to the crowd below the stage.
Clap clap clap clap... The crowd below erupted into warm applause. Although there were some minor criticisms and controversies regarding Nick's introduction, this technological achievement was laid out right in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it.
For this genius who was only 22 years old to be able to lead a few people and quietly produce such an amazing technological result, everyone still gave their affirmation and praise.
At this time, Sun also walked up from below the stage, and the two of them stood on stage waiting for questions from the audience.
If this were a normal press conference, there certainly wouldn't be this session, and the launch would end here.
But this was a new technology launch, and most of the people below were either scientific researchers and industry experts, or corporate personnel and venture capital institutions, plus some media.
Faced with questions from these people, they still had to answer humbly, as it concerned their public image and subsequent cooperation.
"I'd like to ask Nicholas, did you develop this technology yourself, and do you own the relevant patents and core code copyrights?" The first to ask a question was a middle-aged man in his thirties; as for who he was, Nick didn't know. However, by asking this question right away, it was clear that everyone was very concerned about this issue.
Nick nodded and said, "What I can guarantee to everyone is that this technology comes entirely from the hands of our team, without referencing or drawing from any technology of any other institution.
In addition to the core code, we have applied for a total of sixteen technical patents for this technology. Of course, this is only the beginning. In the future, when conditions allow, we will also invite professionals to extract more technical patents from it."
The second person to ask a question was a young woman wearing a CK professional suit who looked very capable. "Mr. Harryson, are you considering the transfer or sale of patent technology, commercial cooperative development, or angel investment?"
Nick thought for a moment and said, "As I said earlier, we came to this exhibition to seek opportunities and cooperation. With our current strength and resources, it is difficult to bring this technology to fruition.
Of course, as for the specifics of how to cooperate, that will have to depend on the actual situation."
"Mr. Harryson, how did you solve the problem of precise spatial positioning? Can you explain it in detail?"
Finally, there was a technical question. Nick nodded and then replied to this person, "Actually, it's still traditional positioning technology, it's just that we took a different approach. Using our methods and technology, we simplified and refined the originally complex data information."
...After answering five or six questions and seeing that time was almost up, Nick decided to wrap things up. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the white-haired old man sitting in the corner finally stood up and asked Nick.
"From start to finish, your tests have been within a fixed venue. Have you tested in an outdoor mobile environment, and how can you guarantee that your technology can adapt to outdoor mobile sites?"
Hearing the old man's question, the crowd couldn't help but look over, and someone soon recognized his identity.
"Bill Dye!"
"That's right, it's Doctor Enginner Bill Dye."
"Why did Dr. Dye Alex come?"
"Needless to say, it must be for this technology."
...Faced with the chatter of the crowd below, Nick heard most of it. Although he wasn't familiar with the name, the word 'Doctor Enginner' in the conversation still gave him a jolt of energy; this was a true heavyweight.
Faced with such a question, he naturally had to answer cautiously. So he organized his words and then said to him, "We are only a R&D team of four people with very limited resources. With our current capabilities, we can only push this technology this far.
Although we haven't tested in an outdoor mobile environment, we are still very confident in this aspect of the testing.
To put it bluntly, whether it's a fixed venue or an outdoor mobile environment, the principles are actually the same; it's just that the latter is subject to more influences and is more complex."
Hearing Nick's answer, the white-haired Bill Dye couldn't help but shake his head, as if he were somewhat disappointed with this response.
Nick was also helpless about this, but these were objective reasons and there was nothing he could do.
