Over a month flew by amid this fulfilling process of self-improvement.
During that time, not only had Xia Xu substantially improved his own abilities and knowledge, but the companies and projects under him had also made progress.
First was Huichuang High-Tech, which he had acquired from Zhou Xiaodong. Now renamed Star Sea Industrial, it had recruited another batch of researchers and, through the connections Chen Leyao had built for Star Sea Venture Capital, established partnerships with multiple software and hardware manufacturers, suppliers, and materials vendors.
After that, having already made some modest gains, Xia Xu officially moved into Star Sea Industrial's research institute with Little White Flower, gradually shifting his robot design work from practice and recreation to a serious undertaking.
No machinery manufacturer could develop every piece of hardware itself. Naturally, a novice like him, together with Star Sea Industrial, whose technological foundation was similarly weak, could not do so either. All their hardware came from purchases and custom orders.
However, as he increasingly found his footing, Xia Xu personally directed everything from hardware selection and implementation to structural design, exterior design, and functional design.
With the Superbrain Drug, learning was still very fast. Beyond learning ability, the significance of research talent lay more in creativity, approaches, and perspectives on things.
And although he lacked a talent for mechanical engineering, he was no fool.
Once the Superbrain Drug had solved his lack of knowledge, he might not necessarily be able to invent some earth-shattering technology, but he could still assemble existing technology, software, and hardware into the things he wanted.
As for subsequently optimizing their functions and appearance, addressing flaws and bugs, and so on, none of that required him to work entirely on his own in isolation.
He activated the power of money, and Zhou Xiaodong and the
