270: Chapter 270 Shocking the World: Lu Li Rides into the Sky in a Vehicle on the Spot

Its appearance indeed resembled a jet ski.

But it was more streamlined.

Sharper.

And more sci-fi.

It had no wheels.

No massive propellers.

There were only a few barely visible stabilizing structures at the bottom.

The surface of the fuselage gleamed with a cold light, like a mechanical bird quietly lying in wait.

The first reaction of many people at the scene was not awe.

Instead, it was skepticism.

Can this thing really fly?

No wheels, no obvious thrusters, and no traditional aircraft structure.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like an overly beautiful sci-fi prop.

The live stream chat also started blowing up.

"This design is seriously handsome."

"But how on earth does it fly?"

"There's no big fan underneath."

"They're not using wire harnesses, are they?"

Lu Li had already walked toward the star wing m1.

He glanced at the camera and said with a smile,

"Rest assured, everyone."

"There are no wire harnesses today."

"No green screens, either."

"And definitely no magic tricks."

"If there were, I'd suggest you file a complaint with the venue organizers later."

Laughter rang out from the venue.

But laughter aside, everyone's eyes remained glued to that star wing m1.

Lu Li straddled the vehicle.

The safety restraint system closed automatically.

The large screen simultaneously displayed the status.

[Pilot Identity Confirmed]

[Safety Lock Engaged]

[Low-Altitude Demonstration Mode Activated]

[Anti-gravity Engine Preheating Complete]

[Venue Airspace Confirmed]

Then, a faint blue-white light lit up at the bottom of the star wing m1.

The entire venue instantly fell silent.

A few seconds later.

The star wing m1 slowly lifted off the ground.

Ten centimeters.

Half a meter.

One meter.

Three meters.

There was no roaring engine.

Nor was there any violent airflow.

It was as if the ground had suddenly lost its gravitational pull on it.

The venue was dead silent at first.

Then, it instantly erupted.

"It's flying!"

"It really flew up!"

"No fans!"

"No propellers!"

The live stream chat instantly went wild.

"It flew!!!"

"It really flew!!!"

"Holy crap, Anti-gravity is real?"

"Lu Li is awesome!"

Offstage, Lei Jun's eyes widened.

President Ren leaned forward slightly.

The Tencent representative's breathing skipped a beat.

The representatives from BYD and Tesla completely changed their expressions.

The DJI representative stared intently at the device, his face looking worse than ever.

Lu Li hovered above the stage riding the star wing m1, his tone remaining relaxed.

"As you can see, its operation is very simple."

"Turning left and right still follows the motorcycle logic you're all familiar with."

"Speed is controlled by the hand throttle."

"Altitude is adjusted by the foot pedals and the automatic altitude system together."

"Of course, strictly speaking, it's not a throttle."

"It's just that everyone is used to calling it that."

A chuckle rippled through the audience.

As Lu Li introduced it, he piloted the star wing m1 in a low-speed lap inside the exhibition hall.

The cameras followed him closely.

On the large screen, the vehicle's attitude, speed, altitude, power consumption, and obstacle avoidance range were displayed in real-time.

All the data was unbelievably stable.

After completing a lap, Lu Li raised the altitude to over ten meters.

The audience clearly grew tense.

Especially the corporate representatives and media reporters in the front row, almost all of whom looked up at him.

Lu Li stopped in mid-air and said,

"Many people worry whether the pilot tilting their body will cause the vehicle to lose control."

"Let me demonstrate now."

Saying that, he suddenly let go with one hand and slowly leaned his body to the right.

A collective gasp instantly echoed through the venue.

Quite a few people even stood up instinctively.

The live stream chat also went crazy.

"Holy shit, don't court death!"

"Lu Li, don't scare us!"

"This is over ten meters high!"

"Is he crazy?"

But in the next second, everyone was stunned.

The star wing m1 didn't flip with him.

Nor did it tilt out of control.

It still hovered steadily in mid-air.

The tilt of Lu Li's body was only recognized by the system as an abnormal change in center of gravity, and the vehicle immediately corrected it with counter-torque.

He seemed to be steadily supported by an invisible hand.

A few seconds later, Lu Li sat upright again and smiled.

"See that?"

"It doesn't rely on your body to maintain balance."

"It balances itself."

The venue fell silent for a brief moment.

Then, thunderous applause erupted.

The DJI representative's face completely darkened.

Because at this moment, he finally confirmed one thing.

This wasn't a manned version of a drone.

Nor was it a traditional flying motorcycle.

This was an entirely different technological path.

Lu Li didn't land immediately.

He looked overhead.

"Next, let me show you something more intuitive."

At the top of the exhibition hall, the mechanical skylight began to slowly open.

The massive skylight split into several sections and slid outward.

The daylight from outside spilled into the hall.

The entire audience grew restless once again.

Lu Li piloted the star wing m1 to ascend slowly.

Then, under the gaze of all the cameras, he flew directly out of the exhibition hall through the dome.

Outdoor drones and long-range cameras immediately picked up the feed.

On the large screen, everyone saw Lu Li riding that silver-gray star wing m1, hovering above the exhibition hall.

The Mingzhu skyline stretched out behind him.

A silver-gray vehicle.

A blue-white glow.

City high-rises.

Countless camera lenses.

Lu Li hovered in mid-air, as if he had ridden the future directly over everyone's heads.

The live stream chat exploded completely.

"This scene is too absurd!"

"This isn't a press conference, this is a live sci-fi movie."

"I believe it now, I really do."

"Guanghui Technology has turned a PowerPoint presentation into reality once again."

"Building roads into the sky is really not just a metaphor!"

A few minutes later, Lu Li returned to the inside of the exhibition hall.

The star wing m1 landed smoothly back on the stage.

The applause at the venue did not stop for a long time.

Many people had already realized that from the moment the actual machine took off, this press conference was already different from all previous tech conferences.

It wasn't showcasing a concept.

It was publicly announcing the birth of a new transportation route.

Lu Li got off the star wing m1 and waited for the applause to die down slightly before continuing.

"What was just demonstrated is the civilian urban commuting version."

"But what truly matters most to me about the star wing m1 platform isn't letting people fly from home to the office."

He looked up at the large screen.

"But rather those jobs that in the past required people to risk their lives to complete."
