184: Chapter 184 Google Head:

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue changed abruptly again.

In the overseas conference room, the expressions of those Google executives, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, stiffened once again at the same moment.

Lu Li raised his hand and flipped to the next page.

A minimalist product evolution diagram appeared on the large screen.

From the current Mirage device to smaller desktop-level terminals, then to palm-sized mobile modules, and finally, it stopped at a small device hanging in front of the collarbone like a pendant.

The venue went silent for a moment.

Immediately after, countless gazes focused simultaneously on the outline of that tiny device.

Lu Li's voice remained calm.

"What you see today is the first generation of Mirage."

"It is not light enough yet, nor is it small enough."

"But this is not the end."

He reached out and tapped.

On the large screen, a demonstrator wearing a pendant-sized device around their neck gently raised their eyes.

The next second, an entire translucent interface unfolded in front of him.

Another second later, the interface was magnified, widened, and extended, projecting directly into a huge void screen in front of him.

A label appeared in the corner of the screen.

[ Personal screen ]

The entire venue's breathing skipped a beat.

Lu Li continued:

"In future versions, it can be smaller, lighter, and more portable."

"Perhaps by hanging it around the neck, it can present any screen form the user desires right in front of them."

"An operating interface the size of a mobile phone."

"A reading and office interface the size of a tablet."

"Or even a seventy-nine-inch private giant screen."

"It doesn't require you to put a screen in your pocket."

"It will appear directly in front of you whenever you need it."

Speaking up to this point, he paused for a moment.

Then he added the final blow.

"Gestures can operate it."

"More precise eye-tracking control can also operate it."

"When you no longer need to carry a fixed-size physical screen with you."

"Mobile phones and tablets will just be transitional products of a certain era."

In the backstage area.

Wang Peng was stunned.

That frontier video just now had made him cry once.

Now this part had shocked him severely all over again.

He opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence:

"This... isn't this sentencing mobile phones and tablets to death?"

Lu Yaoguang didn't bother to roast him this time.

Because only one thought remained in her own mind—

If it really reached that point.

Then the screen would truly no longer be a part of a device.

Instead, it would become an "ability" that a person could call upon at any time.

Overseas.

In that conference room, the color drained from the faces of those few people, almost visibly to the naked eye.

The slight self-comfort from just a moment ago—that "at least it's not a personal mobile terminal"—was crushed to pieces by these few sentences.

The XR executive stared fixedly at the diagram of the pendant-sized future form, their face turning ugly pale.

Someone's lips moved, and it took a long time before they whispered:

"...He is not building a room for display."

The next second, another person finished the second half of the sentence.

"He is building the ultimate screenless terminal device."

A terminal without a screen.

No longer dependent on physical panels.

No longer dependent on fixed forms.

Unfolding at any time, disappearing at any time.

And—

It is still personal, mobile, and portable.

This is no longer opening up a new path.

This is digging up the very foundation of the road they are standing on.

The applause in the venue had not yet settled.

Many people were still immersed in that line, "Mobile phones and tablets are just transitional products," and hadn't come out of it.

But Lu Li didn't give everyone too much time to recover.

He stood in the center of the stage, looking down at the audience, his voice as calm as ever.

"However, today is not just about mobile phones, nor is it just about spatial display."

"The significance of spatial devices should not just stop at seeing."

As soon as these words were spoken, the somewhat lingering applause and low gasps in the venue were immediately pulled back into another rhythm.

Many people sat up straight again, almost subconsciously.

In the conference room on Google's side, someone also slightly raised their head.

They had already been unsettled by the air imaging and that frontier video.

And just now, the story of personal terminals had been blocked off by that "future portability route."

But hearing Lu Li say this now, their hearts sank uncontrollably.

What does that mean?

Not over yet?

Are you ever going to finish?

Are you going to let us live or not??

The Google executives really wanted to kneel in front of the screen and beg him to stop talking!

They at Google couldn't take it anymore; the project they had finally come up with to replace the Virtual Helmet had just been killed off like this...

Mingzhu City.

The large screen on stage slowly switched.

A new page lit up.

Virtual Helmet.

Creation Platform.

As soon as these words appeared, the expression on the face of the AI executive at Google was already wrong.

Because just yesterday, they had hyped up the concept of Genie3 generating open-world games with a single sentence to the heavens.

And today, Lu Li chose exactly this moment to put "Creation Platform" on the table.

This is no longer a coincidence.

This is doing it openly.

It's clearly wanting to finish them off, not treating them like human beings...

Sure enough.

Lu Li stood there, his tone still excessively calm.

"Yesterday, someone said that a single sentence could generate an open-world game."

"I think this is not enough."
