The last day of Phase 1 testing had arrived, carrying the weight of our journey so far and the promise of what lay beyond. This was more than a test— it was an unyielding pursuit of excellence.

After the adrenaline-filled trials of Day 2, Day 3 was all about fine-tuning and reinforcing our progress. The excitement of seeing Yali 4.0 in action still lingered, but we knew that true success lay in perfecting every detail.

Every bolt was tightened, every wire checked, ensuring every component was in its best shape. It wasn’t just about fixing issues; it was about making Yali 4.0 sharper, stronger, and more resilient. The afternoon was dedicated to predictive maintenance and simulation-based testing, allowing us to anticipate potential challenges before heading back into the waters. Every small refinement brough...

With unwavering focus, we turned our attention to the hull, the foundation upon which Yali 4.0 would rise. Piece by piece, we meticulously brought the structure to life, ensuring every component was aligned to perfection. The first major milestone was setting it afloat for initial checks. The hull sat perfectly on the water, stable and buoyant—an encouraging sign of things to come. With the hull successfully afloat, we moved on to the core integrations—assembling the cockpit, battery, and Power Distribution Unit (PDU). Each connection was carefully scrutiniz...
