Ding Yue remembered that Bin had mentioned to him a long time ago that he wanted to implement a security system for Big White.

It was mainly to let Big White protect Ding Yue’s safety.

After all, Ding Yue thought, aside from Big White serving as his daily assistant, with a security system, it could also act as his bodyguard. Having a robot with multiple purposes was just too cool.

"Hahaha, Yue, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot; the security system is already written."

Upon hearing this, Xu Bin burst into laughter and said, "I’ve been so busy lately with our Computer Science department’s Internet of Things project that I haven’t had the chance to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue nodded slightly, showing understanding.

Lately, aside from artificial intelligence, another major project in the Computer Science department was the Internet of Things.

The Internet of Things is a major future development trend.

It involves real-time collection of voice, light, heat, electrical, mechanical, chemical, biological, and location data—any kind of information needed from objects or processes that require monitoring, connection, and interaction. It does so through various devices and technologies such as information sensors, radio frequency identification, Global Positioning System, infrared sensors, laser scanners, etc. By connecting to various possible networks, it achieves ubiquitous connectivity between objects and people, and realizes intelligent perception, recognition, and management of objects and processes.

Xu Bin was very interested in this field.

That is, through the network, to "intelligentize" everything in the world—a huge undertaking, and not an easy task to accomplish.

But Xu Bin was very confident.

"How is the Internet of Things project going now?"

After mumbling to himself for a moment, Ding Yue asked.

Actually, Ding Yue had some recollection of the Internet of Things project, which he had initiated by providing the "Internet of Things technology" to the Computer Science department. After a period of mastery by the faculty and students, they had already started the project.

Ding Yue did not interfere in this matter, as it was unrelated to his own specialty. Moreover, with his most trusted friend in charge, there was virtually no possibility of any problems. He left everything to Xu Bin to lead.

"We’re still laying the foundation. There are plenty of technology companies and universities around the world working on the Internet of Things, but I’m still very confident."

Xu Bin replied with a smile.

Currently, Internet of Things technology is not considered an extremely advanced concept.

But achieving maturity in the technology and putting it into use is quite difficult. After all, no one can boldly claim to have a comprehensive Internet of Things system.

The Internet of Things technology encompasses a wide range of devices and technologies including information sensors, radio frequency identification, Global Positioning System, infrared sensors, laser scanners, etc.

All sorts of sensor technology.

And Global Positioning System technology, among others, requires an enormous amount of resources.

Especially the Global Positioning System, which needs satellite technology for support. Although Mist City Arts and Science University is getting better and better, it doesn’t have a single satellite of its own when compared to those large technology companies.

"If you need anything, just let me know."

Ding Yue nodded and said earnestly to Xu Bin.

He definitely supported such future-leading technologies.

"At this stage, we only need money. I can handle the technology side with my team, but to realize the Internet of Things, there’s something very important that we need, something essential for a comprehensive Internet of Things system."

As Xu Bin spoke, his tone became more serious and earnest.

"Oh? What do you need?"

Ding Yue raised his eyebrows, asking with a curious expression.

"Satellites! We need satellites! Of course, launching our own satellites isn’t exactly realistic, so we need to collaborate with companies that have satellites or work directly with the national Beidou Satellite System."

Xu Bin responded.

Ding Yue was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

But a moment later, Ding Yue smiled and said, "Why do you think launching our own satellites isn’t realistic? If there’s a chance in the future, we could also launch our own satellites, and even develop our own microsatellites, just like the foreign Space Exploration Technology Company."

In America, there is a Space Exploration Technology Company closely affiliated with Tesla.

The CEO of this company is the same person as Tesla’s, the well-known Eli Mark.

The American Space Exploration Technology Company is involved in the research and development and launching of satellites, and even Mars landings and space tourism are in their plans.

"Awesome, if we could really launch our own satellites, that would be just too cool."

Xu Bin said excitedly.

However, Xu Bin was well aware that this might just be Yue talking.

After all, developing and launching one’s own satellites is not so easy.

"These are things that can’t be sorted out in a short time. We’ll discuss it in the future. Let’s talk about Big White’s security system now."

Ding Yue steered the conversation back to the topic.

Right now, Ding Yue was eager to know just how powerful his robot Big White’s security system would be.

"Just hold on a second, Yue."

After speaking, Xu Bin took out his phone and called his assistant, "Hello, Xiaoqing, bring my computer over, please. The address is Mist City Esports Arena. Call me when you arrive."
