Meanwhile, Chen Mu returned home and couldn't resist sleeping soundly. He slept all the way until noon the next day.
"The Arc Reactor technology has finally broken through!"
Upon waking up, Chen Mu received good news. The Arc Reactor technology he had been working on before sleeping was finally completed.
Of course, Chen Mu didn't obtain the complete technology for a miniature reactor. However, he had fully mastered the technology for a large-scale industrial reactor, and this breakthrough was precisely for it.
The large-scale Arc Reactor technology was actually developed by Howard back in the day, but the industrial technology at the time couldn't manufacture it. It wasn't until later that Stark Industries managed to produce it, but more as an exhibition piece, with no practical application.
It would take several more years, until the beginning of the Avengers, for Tony to perfect it, marking the practical application of Arc Reactor energy.
And this time, Chen Mu's technological breakthrough was similar, allowing its energy to be directly utilized.
In other words, as long as the reactor could be manufactured, it would possess an endless supply of energy!
This is crucial for any company!
Moreover, this technology was enough to help solve China's domestic energy crisis, holding extraordinary significance for the country. China would no longer have its energy supply choked by other nations.
"It's a shame it didn't break through to the use of a new element."
The use of a new element would make the reactor more stable and was also the key factor in solving Tony's palladium poisoning. This breakthrough, however, did not include this specific technology.
"The role of the new element is primarily to resolve Tony's poisoning. I imagine that to obtain it, a breakthrough in the miniature reactor will be necessary."
It was a pity that a breakthrough in the same technology could only happen once. Otherwise, Chen Mu could have focused on this reactor technology and pushed it to a very high level.
"Or, perhaps I could analyze Tony's technology after he makes his breakthrough?"
Of course, that was an option, but it required waiting, and what Chen Mu lacked most right now was time.
There were only four years left until 2012, the year of the first Avengers movie. The alien invasion of Earth would be a shocking event for all countries, and it was from this event that the United States, with its Avengers, directly became the undisputed leader of the world.
This was something Chen Mu least wanted to see. With America in charge, other countries, regardless of their status, would be relegated to second-class nations. Earth would truly become America's playground.
Chen Mu, who aimed for the rejuvenation of China, was preparing to showcase China's strength during this event. Might makes right, and only then could China stand on equal footing with others!
"Tony's Iron Armor, to put it simply, is an exoskeleton. With my current technological reserves, I could also manufacture it. Moreover, with a core energy source, creating a 'knock-off Iron Man' wouldn't be a problem either."
Chen Mu had already obtained the weapon technology of the two arms dealers, Hammer Industries and Stark Industries. With the technology of both companies, creating a brand-new suit of armor would not be a significant issue.
"It's a shame there's no intelligent system. I wonder when I'll get Jarvis."
The main reason Chen Mu yearned for Jarvis was this. If the reactor was the heart of Iron Man, then Jarvis was its soul. An Iron Armor without a soul would undoubtedly have its combat effectiveness greatly diminished!
"With my current technological reserves, the armor I create might end up like Obadiah's Iron Monger. Better not to create it and embarrass myself."
Without Tony's key black technology, manufacturing an armor that could fit snugly was a pipe dream, an impossible feat.
Even if Chen Mu did it himself, at best, he would create something as cumbersome as Obadiah's armor, lacking any intelligent program and being difficult to operate.
"The plan for an army of Iron Men will have to be put on hold for now."
"So, I should first consider how to develop Xiao Mu Technology."
Chen Mu lacked funding for Xiao Mu Technology and was waiting for investment from Stark. Chen Mu didn't place too much importance on the profits of the mobile phone industry; all he needed was for Xiao Mu Technology to develop rapidly.
"Obadiah previously tried to swallow Xiao Mu Phone whole by demanding 80% of the shares. Speaking of which, Stark Industries is truly insatiably greedy!"
Chen Mu's actions were practically "selling out the country." He knew that they intended to use the phone to infiltrate China with Jarvis, yet he agreed. And to demand most of the shares while having such intentions was truly shameless.
"Never mind, let's see who ends up regretting it!"
Chen Mu was not a simple person. He wouldn't pass up an opportunity like Jarvis falling into his lap. With his foresight and the powerful assistance of the Huaqiangbei System, what did Chen Mu have to fear?
Let's see who cries then!
For mobile phones, Chen Mu planned to follow the development trajectory of Apple phones from his previous life to develop his own Xiao Mu Phone.
The first step would be to directly launch a brand-new smartphone, taking down current market leaders like Nokia.
As for the design, he would roll it out step by step according to the historical development of phones in his previous life.
Chen Mu had even designed the company logo: a white letter "mu" on a pink background, enclosed in a rounded square. He avoided a square bottom to prevent having to spend millions on a designer to round the corners later.
The logo on the phone itself would be simpler, a laser-engraved "mu."
Regardless of the world, when it came to mobile phones, it all boiled down to user experience, hardware performance, and most importantly, "aesthetics." By mastering these three aspects, it would be easy to seize the initiative. Then, combined with the development of phones in his previous life, casually copying designs would be enough to lead the entire trend.
"Actually, all the necessary conditions for a smartphone are already in place. The first-generation phone can be easily manufactured."
All the required components could be purchased directly. Even the system, Google had already developed Android, so with a few simple modifications, the first-generation smartphone could be launched.
"Moreover, any technical difficulties can be overcome with the Huaqiangbei System. Making phones is incredibly simple."
Therefore, for Chen Mu now, everything was ready except for the final push. As soon as Stark's funds arrived, he could begin launching the first-generation smartphone.
The mobile phone market was about to stir up waves.
