267: Chapter 267 Anti-Gravity Vehicle Released

In the blink of an eye, the date arrived at January 5th.

The launch event for the Guanghui Technology Anti-gravity Vehicle officially entered the countdown.

Days ago, the internet was already in an uproar.

That photo of the Anti-gravity Vehicle on the official Guanghui Technology website was still hanging there, and countless netizens were repeatedly zooming in, analyzing, and speculating.

Some said this was the next generation of urban transportation.

Some said this was the ultimate answer to the low-altitude economy.

Some said that once this thing was mass-produced, the automotive industry would need to be reshuffled.

Of course, there were also those who continued to hate.

The angles of their hate were varied.

"This thing is definitely not safe."

"What if it falls?"

"How will air traffic be managed?"

"Ordinary people can't afford it; to put it bluntly, it's just a toy for the rich."

"Guanghui Technology is drawing pie in the sky again."

But this time, the voices of the haters couldn't stir up much of a splash.

There were too many Guanghui Technology fans domestically.

More importantly, Guanghui Technology had slapped faces time and time again with its products, leading most netizens to form a very simple judgment.

When others say they have something, they might be bragging.

When Guanghui Technology says they have it, there is a high probability that they really do.

The comment section was filled more with anticipation.

"I just want to see it fly for real!"

"No more PPTs, just bring out the real machine!"

"Will Lu Li ride it out himself?"

"The official website photo last time was outrageous enough; will it actually fly at this launch event?"

"I am already prepared to witness history."

Meanwhile, foreign countries were also paying attention to this launch event.

United States tech media had kept Guanghui Technology in the headlines for days.

Some media outlets sourly said that Guanghui Technology was attempting to redefine personal transportation.

There were also experts questioning whether the so-called Anti-gravity was just commercial packaging for some special propulsion system.

Foreign capital markets were equally nervous.

DJI, Tesla, Boeing, Airbus, Google, and other tech and aviation-related companies were all keeping an eye on this launch event.

Even DJI and Tesla had sent people to watch the launch event on-site.

They wanted to know if Guanghui Technology had merely created a gimmick product.

Or if this Eastern tech giant had truly opened a new era of urban low-altitude transportation.

And in more secretive places, people from the United States and the island nation were also watching this launch event.

They weren't just looking at the product.

They wanted to judge from the launch event how far the technology in Lu Li's hands had advanced, and even use this to glimpse the alien civilization behind Lu Li, wanting to know how big the gap was compared to what was behind them.

January 5th.

Mingzhu City, National Exhibition Center.

Backstage.

Lu Li glanced at the time and lazily stood up.

Su Qingxue stood beside him and straightened his collar.

Lu Li looked down at her.

"Nervous?"

Su Qingxue looked up at him, her expression cool, yet carrying a faint smile.

"Why would I be nervous?"

"The people outside are the ones who should be nervous."

Lu Li smiled.

Subsequently, he turned to look in the direction of the stage.

The cheers from outside came through the thick walls, like a storm approaching.

He lifted his foot and walked forward, his tone still casual.

"Let's go."

"Let them see."

"What it means to build roads in the sky."

This time, Guanghui Technology did not choose a conventional launch venue, but instead directly rented out the main exhibition hall, which featured a mechanical dome skylight.

The interior of the exhibition hall had long since undergone special modifications.

In the center of the stage was a circular lifting platform.

Overhead was a giant mechanical skylight that could open to both sides.

Above the audience seating, multi-angle high-speed cameras had been calibrated in advance, and several small filming drones were hovering in designated areas, ready to capture the stage and aerial demonstration footage at any moment.

Outside the exhibition hall, temporary airspace monitoring equipment, fire safety teams, emergency medical teams, and anti-drone systems had all been deployed.

This didn't feel like an ordinary tech launch event.

It felt more like a public verification, meant to push a new era product directly in front of everyone.

Backstage staff were coming and going, with instructions coming through headsets one after another.

Meanwhile, in the front-row VIP seats, representatives from various tech companies were entering one after another.

When Lei Jun entered, many media cameras on-site swept over him.

He wore his usual gentle smile and took the initiative to greet several acquaintances.

But after sitting down, he looked at the circular lifting platform in the center of the stage, his mood somewhat complicated.

Dami Company had been preparing to enter the automotive field for the past few years.

Capital, manpower, supply chain, smart cockpits, electric motors, and electronic controls—almost everything had been poured into it.

Just as they were finally about to touch the table for new energy vehicles.

Guanghui Technology turned around and held an Anti-gravity Vehicle launch event.

A thought couldn't help but pop into Lei Jun's mind.

They were still competing over steering wheels, chassis, motors, and smart cockpits.

Lu Li, that kid, on the other hand.

He just threw the wheels away.

There was definitely frustration.

But more than that, it was an indescribable sense of complex pride.

After all, this was domestic technology.

Furthermore, the high-end processors currently used in Xiaomi's new flagship phones were essentially domestic chips under the Guanghui Technology ecosystem.

The fact that the chip industry was no longer being choked by others meant that all domestic manufacturers were benefiting.

Looking at the huge Guanghui Technology LOGO in the center of the stage, Lei Jun sighed in a low voice:

"This kid has really pushed domestic technology forward by a huge leap."

Sitting on the other side, Huawei's Mr. Ren appeared much calmer.

After entering, he didn't say much, just quietly observing the venue layout.

Others might only see that Guanghui Technology was currently in the spotlight.

But he knew better than most what the technology in Lu Li's hands really meant.

Huawei had once been choked by foreign chips and systems.

That feeling was not something an onlooker could truly understand.

A top-tier Lithography Machine—let alone ten billion—was often something you couldn't buy even if you had the money.

With key technologies in others' hands, they could choke you whenever they wanted.

But Lu Li had forcefully torn open this lifeline.

So why did the country provide Lu Li with top-tier protection?

Why did they requisition an entire villa area for him?

Why did Elder Wu personally handle the coordination?

Those who truly understood actually knew it in their hearts.

Lu Li was no longer an ordinary entrepreneur.

He was the person filling the industrial shortcomings for the entire country.

The representative from Tencent was also sitting in the front row.

Their relationship with Guanghui Technology was already very deep.

In the Virtual Helmet ecosystem, Tencent was already an important software and content provider.

Gaming, social networking, video, virtual communities—none of these could avoid their participation.

So his mindset for coming this time was completely different from companies like BYD, Tesla, and DJI.

He wasn't here to be defensive.

He was here to find an entry point for cooperation.

If the Anti-gravity Vehicle could really be popularized, then perhaps in the future, the Tencent headquarters campus in Shenzhen could also introduce Guanghui Technology's flying vehicles as a commuting tool for employees.

Even without talking about city-wide promotion, just the headquarters campus, inter-building commuting, and emergency dispatching already offered huge room for imagination.

Tencent didn't necessarily have to build hardware.

But as long as they could enter the ecosystem, that was already enough.

In contrast, the expressions of the representatives from BYD and Tesla were not as relaxed.

BYD was a giant in new energy vehicles.

If the Guanghui Technology Anti-gravity Vehicle could really enter the civilian market, it might not shake their foundations in the short term, but in the long run, once urban traffic expanded from the ground to low-altitude, traditional automobiles would inevitably be forced to be redefined.

The BYD representative knew very well that if they could share some of the cutting-edge technology with Guanghui Technology, even if it was just batteries, control systems, or urban dispatch platforms, it would be enough for them to benefit immensely.

But he also knew that this possibility was extremely low.

Guanghui Technology's current technological barriers were no longer something that could be easily exchanged through simple commercial cooperation.
