Many people have discovered that the Life Science City, a city built by Blacklight Technology, has launched several major projects.
For example, there are several factories with unknown purposes. These factories stretch for dozens of kilometers, and together with the Blacklight Nuclear Power Plant on the seaside, they eventually form a vast industrial park, which is almost the largest heavy industry gathering place in Africa.
In addition, a building in the center of Life Sciences City that had been under construction for more than a year was finally completed during this period.
This is a hemispherical building covering an area of about four hectares and about 200 meters in diameter. From the inside, it should be a public facility like a multi-functional stadium.
However, it is different from ordinary stadiums in that this hemispherical building has a huge dome, using the latest lightweight material technology, with 40,000 seats inside, and a high-tech stage that can be lifted in the center.
The stage is in the shape of a distillation bottle, with a straight passage leading to the backstage. Actors can go straight from the backstage to the stage. Above the stage, there is a hexahedron, each side of which is a huge 15000mm*10000mm screen, which is enough to make even the most beautiful people. Audience members in distant seats see everything on stage.
The name of this enclosed multi-functional stadium is called Black Light Arena.
At this time, a large number of people had already arrived in this dome-like building. These people came in and out, transporting pieces of equipment inside.
The reason for this situation is that the 2024 TEDconference will be held here.
Xia Yin handed the planning document to Chen Chen. After Chen Chen agreed, Xia Yin sent it to Africa CEO Qian Wenhuan again, and Qian Wenhuan will operate the venue.
In order to get unprecedented publicity for the Xingtian Project, the head office even personally negotiated with the organizers of TED and set the venue for the 2024 TEDconference at the Black Light Dome in the Life Sciences City.
Moreover, unlike the previous TED conference where only 1,350 people were invited, this time, Blacklight Technology sent out 30,000 invitations, inviting all well-known visitors who had attended the TED conference and waiving the US$7,500 fee. Ticket fees and all expenses will be borne by Blacklight Technology.
The reason for this is not only that Chen Chen will give a speech at this TED conference, but also a new press conference will also be launched at the venue!
Such a high-profile move immediately attracted the attention of the world. Even some people who did not receive the invitation began to quickly apply for visas to Namibia, wanting to participate in this technological event.
At the end of March, the number of tourists in the Life Sciences City exceeded 100,000 for the first time. The huge floating population brought explosive economic benefits. It was hard to find a room in the hotels in the Life Sciences City, even in the nearby Walvis Bay. Hotels in coastal cities like Port and Swakopmund are already overcrowded.
Many people had no choice but to live in Windhoek, the capital, hundreds of kilometers away.
The reason why everyone is so crazy is not only that TED is a world-famous speech conference, and the participants are all leaders from all walks of life, but more importantly, many people actually come here for the new press conference of Blacklight Technology.
Many people have long seen through that Blacklight Technology is almost a biopharmaceutical company that stands at the top of the Earth Federation. Although its market value is not high, it cannot even enter the Fortune Global 500. That is only because the company has not raised financing and gone public. .
This company has grown to where it is today entirely on its own...

They hold the tickets and check the tickets and confirm their identities. , and then have to pass through a metal detector and X-ray machine before entering the venue.
There are 40,000 seats in the Black Light Dome. The reason why only 30,000 people are invited is that the remaining 10,000 people are prepared for those who actively sign up. In addition, there are also seats for major media.
The person responsible for the security of the venue is the Black Knight. In order to ensure the safety of Chen Chen's speech, five hundred security guards were arranged to perform security tasks in the venue, but secretly, a thousand Black Knights were inserted into the venue. auditorium.
In addition, Xiao X also monitors the network around the clock and can respond quickly once any dangerous information is discovered.
Until 12:15, when everyone was completely seated in their seats, the lights of the venue suddenly dimmed.
