Exactly. Well, they did that because the government took a new approach. They stepped in and said, we're going to financially support this. We're going to open up the piggy banks. We're going to help with regulations and laws, and we're going to make this happen as soon as practically possible. That's the model that China uses all the time.

They see something, they go for it, they invest the money, they invest the resources. There's a risk with that. You could be wrong about the efficacy of the technology that you're trying to put forward. It could be strategically misaligned.

But if China is having the same issues with the UAP that we are having, then you could imagine them putting a lot of resources into better understanding that situation in a way that we're just not equipped to do. And the fact that they this conversation has grown more, that their advancements have been getting better. I think there is this pressure right now within the U.S.

government that if we do not further invest, somehow bring in, you know, the primary innovation makers within our economy, within the startup community, within the scientific community into this problem. If it's still just buried in a classified area, then we're going to get out competed by China that is able to dump all these resources into it.

Yeah, I think it can. I mean, we have a model for that United States with deep technology and edge technology. You know, these are capabilities that don't fit into a normal VC's lifecycle of five or six years before you're seeing returns. It might take 10 years before you have a product. Right. And there's a lot of risk that they could fail along the way.

But that's where we get a lot of our major innovations from. That's where we see very exotic technology being worked on, like advanced propulsion, communication systems.

Energy production and every one of these has huge potential added value to our economy. I mean, to the level that AI has, right? So, you know, there's a couple ways you can go about it. You know, you can either create a new investment cycle or structure that is more tolerant to the risk and more tolerant to extended time to returns, which, you know, you've got to fight market forces with that.
