January 15, 2008 in the federal calendar.
The top of civilization - the venue on the first floor, thousands of spectators, all seats are packed. Looking around, the entire venue is densely packed with guns and cannons, and various cameras are also set up in the venue. In addition, The three cameras even used pan-tilt cranes to broadcast the entire press conference live from different camera positions.
All over the world, no matter day or night, countless viewers are sitting in front of the screen to pay attention to this grand event of human civilization.
Unknowingly, the product launch of Shining Star Group has become a grand event for mankind around the world. Although this is just a pre-sale event, it is still an event not to be missed.
Why is it a pre-sale event, not a launch event
Anyone with a discerning eye has already seen that Zhou Xing should use this pre-sale event to announce something secret to the world.
The Panshi lost contact. Commander Zhou Yu was Zhou Xing's son. Zhou Xing was interrogated by the federal government... A negative "cloud" shrouded the Shining Star Group. This pre-sale event had not even started yet, but there were countless A “topic” worth looking forward to.
The huge venue was buzzing with people. Everyone focused on the huge white stage, patiently waiting for today's protagonist to appear.
With a "bang" sound, the lights of the huge conference platform suddenly dimmed, and a pillar of light was projected on the right side of the conference platform.
The audience in the audience looked toward the lights and saw Zhou Xing, dressed in a black suit, slowly walking out from behind the booth. Under the spotlight, his expression was as calm as water and very serious. He no longer had the smile and spring breeze that he had in previous press conferences.
"Bah bang bang..." The venue burst into applause, and the audience applauded vigorously. Their eyes followed Zhou Xing as he walked on the stage, showing high respect.
The appearance of Zhou Xing indicates that this preview is about to enter the most exciting moment.
"Thank you for your applause and your support!" Zhou Xing stood in the center of the stage, looked around the audience, and thanked everyone.
As soon as Zhou Xing spoke, the fierce applause stopped sparsely.
The pre-sale meeting was about to begin, and the audience consciously stopped applauding and stayed quiet to listen to Zhou Xing's speech.
Zhou Xing looked at the audience and said with emotion: "Unknowingly, Shining Star Group has been established for 32 years and has created many brilliant achievements. It is the company with the largest market value in the world."
"Bah bang bang..." Thunderous applause suddenly sounded, interrupting Zhou Xing's speech.
The audience applauded fiercely, affirming Zhou Xing's words and the achievements created by Shining Star Group.
Sometimes people suspect that Zhou Xing comes from the future and possesses a large number of future technologies, leading the leap-forward development of human civilization. In less than 30 years, human society has achieved achievements that took 300 years to achieve.
"Thank you everyone!" Zhou Xing thanked the audience gratefully.
The audience understood and stopped applauding.
Zhou Xing looked at the audience and continued: "For 32 years, Shining Star Group has been adhering to the craftsmanship of 'excellence' to make every product, including nano-medicine, intelligent machinery, nano-chips, flying cars, genetic medicines...etc. Every product produced by Shining Star Group can stand the test of time."
"Bah bang bang..." The fierce sound started again.
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the excited audience applauded again to confirm his words.
As Zhou Xing said, the Shining Star Group, established 32 years ago, has released dozens of high-tech products, including nano-medical cabins, virtual game cabins, frozen sleep cabins, flying cars, and genetic life-extending medicines, all of which have spread throughout mankind and affected the human body. Safe product.
However, after so many years, these products have never had a serious accident. This shows that Shining Star Group has done a very good job in product quality control.
"Thank you!" Zhou Xing raised his hand, and the fierce applause immediately stopped slowly.
Zhou Xing looked at the audience with a serious look on his face and announced: "The Panshi, funded by the federal government and co-constructed by the Shining Star Group, had an accident while traveling through the 'time and space wormhole', resulting in a major accident that lost contact. Yao Group will actively search for the reasons and will never shirk its responsibilities. Please stay tuned for the results of the investigation."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the audience's reaction, Zhou Xing changed his tone and announced: "Okay, no more digressions, now let's get to the theme of the pre-sale conference."
Hearing this, the audience perked up throughout the process. Although it was not a formal product launch, this kind of preview was still worth looking forward to.
Zhou Xing suddenly reached out and made a move, and a large holographic screen dropped from the sky and appeared above Zhou Xing's head.
Everyone's eyes widened, staring at the holographic screen as big as a movie curtain, which suddenly showed an overhead view of the City in the Sky.
Under the sun, the majestic city in the sky stands in the clouds, densely packed with high-rise buildings, and densely packed with aircraft coming and going.
"This is the current scale of Sky City. Shining Star Group has announced the construction of the second Sky City in the northern hemisphere. It is now recruiting partners from around the world, setting up a construction fund, and coordinating global efforts to create another miracle." Zhou Xing smiled. He looked down at the audience and announced.
Zhou Xing's words were like a thunderbolt, caught off guard, and the audience in the audience was startled.
"The second city in the sky! Still in the northern hemisphere, great!"
"Haha! I didn't seize the opportunity the first time. I can't miss it this time no matter what."
"Mr. Zhou is wise!"
“…”
There was a buzz in the auditorium. There was a successful case of the first Sky City, and everyone was full of expectations for the construction of the second Sky City.
Zhou Xing turned a blind eye to the audience's reaction, waved his hand and continued: "Now announce the second project."
Hearing this, the auditorium fell silent, and the audience looked towards the large holographic screen.
What comes into view is a three-dimensional image of the anatomy of a giant human brain, with dense data listed beside it.
"What you see is a diagram of the human structure. The human brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, diencephalon, and brainstem. Among them: the cerebrum is the most advanced part of the central nervous system and is divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres, both of which are composed of nerve fibers. Connected to the corpus callosum, there are many winding grooves and fissures on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere, called sulci, and the protruding parts in between are called gyri. These sulci and gyri are like a piece of wrinkled silk. Once they are flattened , its area is about half the size of an ordinary newspaper." Zhou Xing introduced as he looked at the crowd.
After a pause, Zhou Xing continued to explain: "With the smooth launch of the life extension gene project, Shining Star Group has stepped up its exploration of the human brain, a delicate organ."
"The generation of organs in our body has a 'cost', which can be divided into 'expensive' and 'cheap'. The process of generating organs requires a lot of energy and resources, so nature tries to use the least amount of energy to create humans." Energy and resources are the lowest cost to maximize functional efficiency. There is no doubt that the cost of generating a brain organ is very high, it can also be said to be very 'expensive', and it is more sophisticated than any instrument in the world."
"The human brain contains approximately 14 billion nerve cells, accounting for about one-tenth of the brain cells. The remaining 90% are called glial cells. These glial cells provide nutrients to nerve cells, form myelin sheaths, increase conduction speed, etc. Multiple functions, the commonly held statement that "the effective use of the human brain only accounts for about one-tenth" may be due to the misunderstanding of the incomplete understanding of glial cell functions. It is believed that there are only nerve cells in the brain. It is working, which means that there is 100% no credible theory of human brain development.”
"However, with the deciphering of human genes and increasing the activity of human brain cells, it is very feasible to develop deep-level applications of the human brain!" Zhou Xing introduced in detail, and finally concluded and announced: "After seven years of research, the human brain is now The development project is nearing completion and the final research is expected to be completed in two years, so stay tuned."
"Okay, great!"
"Mr. Zhou is mighty!"
The audience in the audience was very excited and were shocked by the good news announced by Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and continued: "Similar to the human brain development project, Shining Star Group has also made good progress in many fields."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xing continued to wave and control the holographic screen above. Soon, a green substance appeared on the holographic screen.
Zhou Xing raised his eyes and looked at the holographic screen and introduced: "It's called 'plant cellulose binder'. It can make 'a plate of loose sand' obtain the same ecological and mechanical properties as natural soil, and present a mud-like rheological state when wet." , water evaporates and forms a solid state, which can be freely converted between the two states, and has a strong ability to store water, nutrients and air, becoming a carrier suitable for plant growth."
"This technology can improve or even make artificial soil, realize the reverse process of soil desertification, and is expected to 'soil' the desert. This research project is expected to be completed by the end of the year. At the same time, several improved plants adapted to the desert environment are also coming to an end! "
After a pause, Zhou Xing looked at the audience and continued to introduce: "Currently, the world's desert area is about 35.4 million square kilometers, accounting for about 22% of the world's total land area. And land desertification is expanding year by year, with large areas of vegetation disappearing, resulting in The ecosystem is imbalanced and the plant carbon sequestration system disappears, resulting in excessive carbon dioxide retention in the air, causing the greenhouse effect. More than 100,000 square kilometers of land around the world are engulfed by desertification every year, causing human living space to shrink year by year. Every year due to land desertification The direct economic losses caused are as high as 500 billion yuan."
"In order to solve this increasingly serious problem, Shining Star Group will take the lead in starting the 'Greening the Earth' project and establishing a 'Green Fund'. It is expected to eliminate 85% of the world's deserts within 20 years, develop large-scale animal husbandry, and recruit partners from around the world. I hope everyone will actively participate." Zhou Xing finally announced.
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, "Pah, pah, pah, pah..." the applause sounded again.
The audience in the auditorium looked at Zhou Xing excitedly and applauded vigorously.
Another large-scale project that benefits the country and the people, Shining Star Group is great! Is there anything else that Zhou Xing can't do
The human population continues to expand and the living space continues to shrink. If 85% of the world's deserts can be eliminated within 20 years as Zhou Xing promised, it will be a great joy for all mankind.
Thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue and lasted for a long time.
The audience was ignited by the good news announced by Zhou Xing one after another, and their hearts were surging.
"Thank you for your applause. After announcing something, we enter the final question and answer session." Zhou Xing thanked everyone with a smile.
besides
The audience cheered up, stopped applauding, and looked at Zhou Xing with bated breath, anticipating his announcement.
Zhou Xing looked stern and announced with a heavy heart: "Due to the loss of contact with the Panshi, the development of the aerospace field has been hit hard. For this reason, the Shining Star Group will announce a 'private spacecraft customization project.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xing waved his hand.
The large holographic screen above Zhou Xing's head suddenly changed, and spaceships were arranged and displayed on the large screen.
There was a "crash" and the audience stage was instantly in chaos.
"Isn't that a watch spaceship? And a rambler? Is the Shining Star Group going to sell the spaceship?"
"'Wanderer', 'Thunder', 'Lookout'...are they all classic spaceships in 'Civilization'?"
"Wow! Is Shining Star Group going to build a private spaceship?"
"That's cool! How much does a Rambler cost?"
“…”
Zhou Xing's words were like an exploding nuclear bomb, blowing up the audience. The audience could not control their excitement and asked questions loudly.
Today's pre-sale meeting was so exciting. Not only did Shining Star Group not feel depressed due to the disaster of the Panshi accident, but it faced it proactively and previewed three extremely exciting projects in succession, which greatly boosted the confidence of all mankind.
"As you can see, these spaceships are the primary spaceships of 'Civilization and War' and are very suitable for corporate operations. With the establishment of lunar bases and Mars bases, and the development of immigration work, civilian spaceships will become a common means of transportation. , to meet the needs of human space travel, mineral transportation, planetary travel, etc., this is a sunrise industry." Zhou Xiao introduced with a smile.
After a pause, Zhou Xing finally concluded: "In the near future, space will be completely opened to all mankind. At that time, the federal government will formulate corresponding spacecraft navigation policies in advance. Enterprises and individuals who have the confidence and strength to enter the spacecraft operation field, please Be sure to make preparations in advance. As for the detailed parameters and cost of the spacecraft, please call our group for inquiries."
"Bah bang bang..." Thunderous applause resounded through the venue again, and the fierce sound seemed to tear down the venue.
The audience were all ecstatic, looking excitedly at Zhou Xing on the stage, applauding desperately, and cheering for his wonderful introduction.
The second city in the sky, human brain development, desert eradication, private spacecraft customization, this pre-sale event was so unexpected, every project can bring about earth-shaking changes to human society.
Facing the warm applause, Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at the audience and announced: "Today's product premonition session is over. Next, is the question session that you have been waiting for. The old rules are 10 questions. Please keep order. proceeding."
"Mr. Zhou, ten is too few!"
"Mr. Zhou, so many products were released today, ten questions are not enough!"
“…”
As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, the reporters in the audience shouted anxiously. There were four preview products alone, as well as the incident of Panshi's loss of contact and Zhou Yu's identity. The reporters had a lot of questions to ask at this time.
