268: 21: An Industrial Miracle That Reshaped the Laws of Physics

Tesla was more silent.

They had always wanted to create the future of transportation.

Smart electric vehicles, autonomous driving, Robots, and energy systems—almost every line of business was about the future.

But if Guanghui Technology really brought out an Anti-gravity flight vehicle this time, it would mean they had directly surpassed them on the label of "Future Transportation."

There was only one thing they wanted to know most.

Was this a concept launch, or a mass-production launch of an actual machine?

If it was just a concept, there was still a chance to catch up.

If it was an actual machine, then they were in big trouble.

The representative from DJI sat in their seat, their expression exceptionally grave.

They were a global giant in the drone field.

Their drone technology almost monopolized the globe.

Logically speaking, they should have been the most qualified to lead in the line of manned flight equipment.

Yet now, they were being overtaken on a bend by a company that made mobile phones, Virtual Helmets, and Robots.

He didn't want to hear too many specifications.

Nor did he want to look at fancy PPTs.

He only wanted to see the actual machine.

As long as there was no actual machine, everything was still just a concept.

But if there really was an actual machine, it meant that what they were facing was no longer an ordinary opponent, but an entirely different technological path.

At this moment, the online livestream room had already opened.

With over ten minutes left before the official start of the launch event, the bullet comments were already scrolling so fast they were almost illegible.

"Guanghui Technology is finally holding a launch event!"

"Setting everything else aside, I just want to see it actually fly!"

"The image is already up on the official website, there's definitely something real today."

"Is Lu Li appearing in person? I won't believe it unless he comes out!"

Of course, there were also plenty of skeptical voices.

"This thing is definitely a toy for the rich."

"Anti-gravity? Do you guys actually believe that? It's probably just a high-end fan."

"There's not even a full video of the actual machine yet, it wouldn't be another concept launch, would it?"

"Even if this thing can fly, can an ordinary person afford it?"

"It's eighty percent likely just to fleece the rich."

There were also people who were clearly more rational.

"Don't rush to hype it up yet, wait for the specs."

"How is safety handled?"

"How will air traffic be managed?"

"What happens if it falls?"

"If the sky is full of flight vehicles, what happens if they crash?"

Guanghui Technology had many fans.

But an Anti-gravity flight vehicle was just too epoch-making.

So even though many people were willing to believe in Guanghui Technology, it was impossible for them not to have doubts in their hearts.

After all, everyone had only seen that one actual photograph on the official website before.

A full demonstration video of the actual machine had not been released yet.

Everyone was waiting.

Waiting for Lu Li to provide the answer.

Time ticked closer bit by bit.

Finally, the lights in the exhibition hall dimmed.

In the center of the stage, a beam of blue-white light slowly illuminated.

On the giant screen, the logo of Guanghui Technology appeared.

Subsequently, a line of text emerged.

[Guanghui Technology Anti-gravity Flight Vehicle Launch Event]

Applause erupted at the scene.

The next second, Lu Li walked out from backstage.

The camera panned to the audience.

Lei Jun was smiling and clapping.

Mr. Ren looked calm and steady.

The Tencent representative's gaze was full of anticipation.

The BYD and Tesla representatives were clearly more grave.

The DJI representative stared at the stage, as if trying to discern from Lu Li's face just how much of this launch event was real.

Lu Li stood in the center of the stage, not jumping straight into the technical introduction.

He first scanned the audience, then smiled.

"Hello everyone, I am Lu Li."

"I am very happy to see so many old friends today."

Speaking up to this point, he paused for a moment and swept his gaze across a few directions in the front row.

"Of course, there are also some friends who don't look very happy."

A burst of laughter immediately rang out at the scene.

The camera very knowingly panned over the directions of BYD, Tesla, and DJI.

The expressions of the several representatives became instantly more subtle.

Lu Li continued:

"I understand."

"After all, you might be here to confirm one thing."

"Whether Guanghui Technology is actually building a flight vehicle, or just trying to scare the competition."

The laughter grew louder.

The livestream bullet comments also flooded the screen instantly.

"Hahahaha, his mouth is still as sharp as ever."

"The Tesla representative's face has turned black."

"DJI: You'd better really be able to fly."

"Lu Li: I'm not targeting anyone specifically, I just think all the car companies present here are trash."

After waiting for the laughter to die down, Lu Li brought the topic back to business.

"However, I can answer one question first today."

He looked at the audience, and also at the camera.

"It is not a concept machine."

"Nor is it a PPT."

"Today, we have brought a mature, mass-produced machine that can truly fly."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene changed instantly.

Many people in the audience sat up straight.

The livestream bullet comments exploded in another round.

Lu Li turned around, and the giant screen behind him lit up.

[Guanghui Technology star wing m1 Anti-gravity Flight Vehicle]

[City-grade Personal Low-altitude Transportation Vehicle]

The stage lights dimmed, and the virtual outline of the star wing m1 appeared on the screen.

Lu Li didn't talk about the appearance first.

Instead, he went straight to the core.

"Many people have been guessing these past few days."

"Whether it is an electric flying motorcycle, or a manned version of a small drone."

"The answer is neither."

"The core of the star wing m1 is not a propeller, nor is it jet propulsion."

"Its true core is the first generation of Guanghui Technology's engineered Anti-gravity Engine."

On the giant screen, four words suddenly appeared.

[Anti-gravity Engine]

The scene instantly went quiet.

This term was even more exaggerated than "flight vehicle" itself.

Many companies had made concepts for flight vehicles.

But an Anti-gravity Engine was on an entirely different level.

In the audience, the DJI representative's expression changed immediately.

Lei Jun couldn't help but lean forward.

Mr. Ren's eyes narrowed slightly.

The livestream bullet comments were instantly flooded with question marks.

"?????"

"It's really called Anti-gravity?"

"Is it not a marketing term?"

"Lu Li daring to say this at the launch event means there really is something."

"Holy crap, so the image on the official website wasn't a flying motorcycle, but an Anti-gravity Engine platform?"

Lu Li seemed to have anticipated their reaction long ago, his tone remaining unhurried.

"The Guanghui Technology Anti-gravity Engine project took seven months and twenty-two days from formal initiation to the completion of the first generation engineering verification machine."

This time, the scene went even quieter.

Seven months and twenty-two days?

Many technical personnel in the audience almost thought they had misheard.

For this kind of project, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for normal people to think in terms of ten or twenty years.

Yet Lu Li said that Guanghui Technology only used seven months and twenty-two days?

Lu Li smiled—he was lying to them; actually, it had been available as soon as the system reward arrived.

"Of course, this doesn't mean we started from scratch and conjured up Anti-gravity out of thin air in seven months."

"It is built upon Guanghui Technology's previous accumulation of materials, batteries, control algorithms, supercomputing, sensors, and field engineering technologies."

"But from the engineering project initiation to the completion of the first mature test machine, it indeed only took this long."

This explanation was slightly more reasonable.

But only slightly.

Because even with the previous technological accumulation, this speed was still so outrageous that it made one's scalp tingle.
