"Skynet is a new idea I just had recently. To put it bluntly, it is to improve the surveillance of the entire urban public area through various cameras. Once an emergency occurs, the public security organs can directly retrieve the camera surveillance information of the entire Skynet system."

Li Mu said this and introduced the Skynet system directly as the common people knew in his previous life. However, Li Mu felt a little guilty. He was not a person within the public security and had no idea how Skynet operated in his previous life.

After listening to this, Fang Xudong and Lin Qingya basically understood Li Mu’s idea, but they didn’t understand why Li Mu suddenly wanted to build such a public safety monitoring system.

Li Mu explained: "First of all, as the Internet company with the strongest R&D capabilities in China, we have the responsibility and obligation to do our part in public safety. This is the social responsibility we should have as a large enterprise."

As he said that, Li Mu paused and said: "Secondly, with the development of society, the share of the monitoring market will become larger and larger. Whether it is the government, enterprises, institutions, private enterprises and individual households, ordinary citizens will have a certain degree of monitoring demand in the future. It can be foreseeable that the monitoring market will have an unexpected explosion in the future. This market space is very large. If you start to be at the forefront now, you may gain a market with an annual scale of over 10 billion or even 100 billion."

Fang Xudong is a technology master, but he does not have strong control over the market, especially his future market control, so he can't help but ask Li Mu: "Mr. Li, is there such a big prospect for monitoring the market?"

Li Mu nodded and said confidently: "What I am talking about is the video surveillance market. If it is the entire security market, the scale will be much larger than this."

Although Fang Xudong and Lin Qingya were surprised by Li Mu's remarks, they both had one common characteristic: they did not doubt what Li Mu said.

Li Mu said that this is a market that may reach 10 billion or 100 billion in the future. Fang Xudong immediately cheered up and treated it as a 10 billion or 100 billion market, and then waited for Li Mu's following.

Li Mu said: "I generally classified it into two parts, one is video hardware and the other is functional hardware."

"Pure frequency hardware is easy to understand, it is a camera that is only responsible for video shooting. However, if it is subdivided, there will be many subdivided fields, such as: a remote control camera with a movable gimbal, a zoom camera with a zoom lens, or a wide-angle camera, a night vision camera, etc.."

"Most functional hardware is used to serve cameras. In the future, if the camera is equipped with detection radar, you can do security; if you use the speed measurement radar, you can do speed measurement and photography; if you use the license plate recognition software, you can do license plate detection; if you use the flash, you can capture it at night; if you use the thermal monitoring, you can use it to prevent fire..."

After saying so much, Li Mu continued to summarize after drinking a sip of water: "In short, the entire industrial chain of surveillance cameras will continue to develop horizontally in the future, expand the scope, and eventually form a huge product cluster, and the market scope it covers will definitely become larger and larger. Therefore, if we start early, accumulate enough technical advantages, and form technical barriers, we will be able to carry out in-depth vertical development in the horizontal development market, and at the same time at every entry point, all purposes will be combined into one sentence: maintain advantages and occupy the market."

In Li Mu's impression, the term "electronic eye" will take two or three years to appear. Whether it is traffic monitoring or public security monitoring, it has not yet entered its initial stage, which is enough to prove that the monitoring field is driven by demand, rather than driven by product demand improvement.

The so-called demand-driven product development means that after a certain demand is first, people will develop products according to this demand. Most industries have developed in this way. For example, mobile phones and technology have developed to a certain node. The reason why mobile phones were born is that humans clearly had this demand at that stage and needed to get rid of the constraints of telephone lines and conduct mobile communications. Therefore, some people will invent mobile communication products based on this demand.

In addition, using products to drive demand increases is a very awesome thing. It is also a mobile phone. Jobs launched a full-touch screen iPhone at that node. Before that, users did not have this demand in many demands for mobile phones. However, Jobs used his wonderful products to drive people's demand for full-touch screen phones and also established the position of the iPhone as the dominant position in the future smartphone market.

In Li Mu's impression, there is a company called DJI in China, which is also very impressive in his eyes. Before DJI was born, ordinary people had no need for aerial photography at all, and they didn't even know what aerial photography meant. Aerial photography is only a demand for professional film and television producers. However, through its continuous efforts, DJI has continuously penetrated the lives of ordinary people, allowing more and more ordinary people to have aerial photography demand. At the same time, DJI has also occupied 77% of the world aerial photography market share. In terms of market share alone, DJI drones are even more awesome than iPhones.

What Li Mu wants is to enter the video surveillance field in advance before the country has strong video surveillance needs. Once he comes in, he will take root in making products, make solutions, and do patented technologies. Like DJI, he has his own technical barriers. In this way, when the security monitoring market rises in the future, he will be able to stand out.

Why can DJI still occupy 77% of the market share in the fierce battle between so many drone manufacturers in the world? A large part of the reason is its unique technology.

DJI’s own image transmission solution is the first in the industry. It is a civil drone worth several thousand yuan. It realizes 1080p high-definition stable image transmission within a few kilometers. This is almost against the sky in the field of civil aerial photography drones;

At the same time, DJI's flight control solution is also the first in the industry. The flight control solution ensures the stability of DJI's drone in flight, and also ensures multiple indicators such as aerial photography quality, drone handling and safety, and greatly improves overall performance;

In addition, DJI even develops motors, cameras and gimbals themselves. Each item has its own unique technology, which combines it to form a stronger technical barrier.

Such a strong technical reserve ensures that DJI can lead all other competitors in the industry as a whole, which is what Li Mu especially hopes that his company can do in the hardware field in the future.

If the Skynet system wants to be developed as soon as possible, and has excellent comprehensive performance and achieves the expected effects, it is completely insufficient to buy some cameras to form a local area network.

We must work together from the three directions of combining hardware, software and software. Otherwise, even if Skynet is set up, it will be difficult to achieve the expected results.

It is even possible that the comprehensive performance will be ahead of other products on the market within half a year. At that time, it will definitely fall into an embarrassing situation: if it is not replaced, the performance will be insufficient; if it is replaced, the cost will be too high. By that time, you will not make any contribution to society. Instead, you may have to pay more money to upgrade the entire Skynet system just after investing huge amounts of money to build the Skynet system.

Fang Xudong thought carefully for a long time and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what you mean is that we must acquire a powerful hardware manufacturer in advance, and use the foundation of this hardware manufacturer to develop monitoring equipment with various functions. At the same time, we must also cooperate with the development of supporting software to finally come up with a complete set of urban monitoring solutions. When the advantages we have accumulated in technology are enough, we can promote market demand and become a leading enterprise in the field of video surveillance?"

"That's right!" Li Mu nodded and said, "This is my goal. First accumulate enough strength and influence through the Skynet system, and then use the popularization of Skynet system to promote the development of the entire video surveillance market. At that time, we will be Nokia in the video surveillance industry."

As he said that, Li Mu sighed again: "At the same time, we will enter the hardware field sooner or later. If we do computers, we will not be able to escape the fate of machine-storage providers. Almost all the core hardware and software are in the hands of oligarchs. If we make mobile phones, the water is too deep and the updates are too fast. Now we are not in our experience, technology or strength. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Skynet to contribute to society while accumulating experience in the hardware field while seizing a market opportunity."

Lin Qingya agreed: "In this way, on the one hand, we can ask the government to apply for R&D funds and project subsidies, and on the other hand, we can also sign procurement intention agreements with the government. In this way, from the beginning of R&D to the implementation of the product, we will have government support to avoid risks to the greatest extent."

Li Mu waved his hand: "The reason why no one has done this kind of project yet is probably because everyone is thinking about letting the government pay first."

Looking back on when I was in college, the school tutors liked to do government projects. First draw a high-end cake and let the government invest money. After the government invests the money, they will take away most of the funds and then throw it to the outsourcing company to make some garbage. It is not really about doing things, but just trying to cheat the government. The more people there are, the more cautious the government will be in supporting high-tech measures in the future. In the end, the government will no longer dare to invest in some truly meaningful projects.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mu decided to develop Skynet by himself. Before Skynet's research and development is successful, he would not ask the government for a penny.

So, Li Mu said again: "The Skynet System project is a concrete manifestation of Muye Technology's social responsibility, so we will not ask the government to apply for a cent of R&D funds, and we will pay for it ourselves. If we do it, we will take it out. The government really thinks it is good. If we feel satisfied, we will purchase it. If we don't feel satisfied, we will never force it."

"If we do it, the Skynet system will be purchased by the government, and we have a huge profit margin. If we do it, we will lose tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Muye Technology has not missed any step yet. As long as we don't move the foundation of yy and take the wrong path in other fields, it will be nothing more than losing a little profit. It's not even a superficial one. Why not do it?"
