269: Chapter 269 Getting up at 8:55 is not too late; this is truly flying to work.
Sitting in the audience, Lei Jun couldn't help but whisper:
"Seven months and twenty-two days..."
"This kid really doesn't treat his competitors as human."
Someone next to him smiled bitterly.
But no one refuted him.
Lu Li continued to push the pace of the press conference.
"Next, let's address the issues that everyone is most concerned about."
"Range, altitude, speed, safety, and management."
The large screen switched.
The first item was the battery system.
[Guanghui Technology's New Generation High-Density Solid-State Battery System]
[Standard Range for City Commuting Mode: 380 kilometers]
[Limit Range for Low-Speed Cruising: 460 kilometers]
[80% energy replenishment in 15 minutes]
[Zoned power supply, multiple redundant protections]
Lu Li said:
"We know that what many people worry about most is running out of power halfway through a flight."
"So the star wing m1 won't wait until the battery is completely drained to alert you."
"Once the battery level hits the safety threshold, it will automatically plan the nearest landing spot."
"If the driver does not respond, it will take over control and force a return-to-home or landing procedure."
An animation played simultaneously on the large screen.
A star wing m1 was flying through a low-altitude city corridor. After its battery level hit the safety threshold, the system automatically marked nearby landing platforms and generated a safe route.
Many in the audience nodded silently.
This design was far more important than simply stacking battery capacity.
Lu Li continued:
"Regarding flight altitude, the civilian city mode will be strictly restricted."
The large screen switched to display the altitude ranges.
[Low-Altitude Experience Mode: 4 to 10 meters]
[Standard City Mode: 30 to 120 meters]
[Higher altitudes can be unlocked in special permitted areas]
[Special department versions will be managed separately]
Lu Li looked into the camera.
"It doesn't let you fly as high as you want."
"The star wing m1 is not a private jet."
"It is a city transit vehicle."
"The most important thing for a city transit vehicle is not excitement, but order."
As soon as these words were spoken, many who had been worrying about safety felt a bit more at ease.
Because Lu Li didn't package this as a mere toy for the rich or a thrill-seeking activity.
From the very beginning, he had been emphasizing urban rules.
Next was speed.
[Maximum Speed in Standard City Mode: 80 km/h]
[Speed in Designated Air Corridors: 120 km/h]
[Stable hovering, constant acceleration, instant catapulting prohibited]
Seeing this speed, some people in the audience were somewhat surprised.
Someone in the live chat immediately asked:
"The max is only 80?"
"Isn't that a bit slow?"
"Even cars can go over a hundred. This thing flies this slow?"
Lu Li seemed to know what they were thinking.
"Many people will ask, with so many speed limits, will it affect the experience?"
"It won't."
"Because the star wing m1 is not a traditional aircraft."
"It doesn't need a runway."
"Nor does it need to generate lift through high-speed taxiing."
"Its takeoff starts with a stable hover followed by constant acceleration."
"In other words, what it truly saves is not top-speed travel time, but right-of-way time."
On the large screen, a ground commuting route and a low-altitude direct route appeared simultaneously.
The ground route wound around multiple intersections, traffic bottlenecks, and overpasses.
The low-altitude route directly connected the planned platforms between two buildings.
Lu Li said calmly:
"In a city, the fastest speed is not the maximum speed on the dashboard."
"It's the fact that you don't have to get stuck at intersections."
The moment these words came out, many urban commuters in the livestream room immediately lost their composure.
"This speaks right to my heart."
"Those of us who get stuck in traffic for an hour every day are crying."
"80 kilometers per hour isn't fast? Being able to maintain a stable 80 in the city is already sky-high, okay?"
"The point isn't speed, it's not having to deal with traffic jams!"
"And this is a straight-line distance! Do you guys understand what straight-line distance means? Damn, from now on, I can sleep until 8:55 before getting up. Five minutes is enough for me to get dressed and brush my teeth!"
Subsequently, Lu Li shifted the topic to the safety system.
The cockpit structure of the star wing m1 appeared on the large screen.
"The star wing m1 is not like a normal motorcycle where you just sit on it and that's it."
"Once the driver sits down, the system will automatically secure the waist, legs, and center of gravity."
In the animation, a virtual pilot sat on the star wing m1.
The waist safety buckle automatically closed.
The leg restraint structure locked gently.
The back and center-of-gravity pressure points were displayed one by one.
"Many people worry that if the vehicle tilts, the person might fall off."
"The answer is no."
"Even if the vehicle's posture becomes abnormal, the safety harness will remain secured to the driver's waist and legs. The entire protective structure can withstand impacts far higher than those of normal flight."
The animation on the screen began to simulate tilting, sudden stops, and crosswind disturbances.
The driver remained firmly secured to the vehicle throughout.
Immediately after, the large screen switched to automatic posture correction.
"You don't need to use your body to maintain balance like riding a motorcycle."
"star wing m1 will calculate the driver's center of gravity changes in real-time."
"It doesn't wait until you've tilted to save you."
"Rather, it corrects the posture in advance at the very first sign of danger."
As soon as these words were spoken, the DJI representative's brow furrowed even deeper.
Because this was no longer flight control in the traditional sense.
If this system could truly achieve what Lu Li described, the barrier to entry for driving would be significantly lowered.
Lu Li did not pause.
The large screen began to display a simulation map of the city's low-altitude airspace.
Countless green light dots represented star wing m1s.
Buildings, drones, bird flocks, and temporary obstacles were all identified by the system in different colors.
"Every star wing m1 will be connected to the urban low-altitude traffic management system."
"It will track the positions of surrounding flight equipment, buildings, drones, bird flocks, and temporary obstacles."
"Once a dangerous distance is approached, the system will first alert, then limit the speed, and finally automatically brake or avoid the obstacle."
In the screen, two star wing m1s approached each other head-on.
The system allocated paths in advance.
One lowered its altitude, while the other shifted slightly to the side.
The entire process occurred without any driver intervention.
Lu Li said:
"If two star wing m1s approach each other head-on, they won't wait for the drivers to react."
"The system will complete path coordination in advance."
"If the driver tries to override it, the system will reject the input."
He paused, his tone very flat.
"This is not a suggestion."
"This is the underlying safety logic."
The venue fell silent once again.
Only now did many realize that what Guanghui Technology was releasing today was not an isolated aircraft.
Behind it lay an entire urban low-altitude traffic system.
Lu Li continued:
"Regarding the issue of flight control that everyone is most concerned about, Guanghui Technology has already conducted multiple rounds of communication with relevant departments."
"Currently, the usage range of the star wing m1 will first be restricted to planned low-altitude areas within the city."
"It's not a matter of going wherever you want."
"All flight routes must be connected to the urban low-altitude traffic management system."
"To put it simply, just like today's ground roads, it will have rules, routes, traffic lights, and no-fly zones."
Instantly, a low commotion broke out in the audience.
Lei Jun's eyes flickered.
Mr. Ren also nodded slightly.
The Tencent representative had already begun writing in a notebook.
The expressions of the BYD and Tesla representatives grew even more complex.
The DJI representative stared at the circular lift platform in the center of the stage, with only one thought left in his mind.
Stop talking.
Just let me see if it can actually fly.
And Lu Li didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to torture them.
He raised his hand and gently pressed the remote control.
The circular lift platform in the center of the stage slowly opened.
Accompanied by a low mechanical hum, a silver-gray Anti-gravity flight vehicle slowly rose from below.
Instantly, all eyes in the venue converged on it.
