271: Chapter 271 Things that used to require risking one's life for no longer require risking one's life.
The big screen switched images.
Outside a high-rise building, a facade cleaner hung tens of stories up, with the empty city beneath their feet. When the wind blew, the suspended basket swayed gently. The image switched again.
Outside an old residential complex, tiles were loose. A maintenance worker, tied to a rope, clung to the exterior of the building, checking for hazards bit by bit. Switched again.
An electrical worker climbed a high tower to inspect power lines at a great height. A telecommunications base station maintenance worker stood on the tower frame, with vast mountain forests beneath them. Images of bridge cables, the undersides of viaducts, mountain search and rescue, flood rescue, and high-rise fires flashed across the screen frame by frame.
Lu Li's voice echoed in the exhibition hall.
"We always say that technology changes lives."
"But for some people, what technology should change first is the danger they must face every day."
The scene slowly quieted down.
Just moments ago, everyone was still immersed in the shock of Anti-gravity flight. But at this moment, the atmosphere changed. On the big screen, silhouettes of several special versions appeared.
The first one was the fire rescue version.
It was no longer in the form of a motorcycle.
It looked more like a small aerial platform with railings.
Stabilized railings, attachment points for firefighter gear, a small high-pressure water spray module, mounting racks for firefighting equipment, patient restraint devices, and an automatic hovering and building-hugging obstacle avoidance system were all labeled one by one.
Lu Li introduced it: "This is not a civilian flying motorcycle."
"This is a special rescue version developed based on the same Anti-gravity platform."
"It is more like an aerial lifting platform that can quickly reach high-rise windows."
"Its goal is not speed."
"It is stability, payload, and saving lives."
Having said this, Lu Li pressed the remote control.
"I would like to thank the Shenzhen fire department here."
"To verify this system, they specifically cooperated to build a high-rise fire drill scenario."
"The following segment is not an animation."
"It is actual drill footage."
The big screen began to play the video.
A high-rise drill building emitted thick smoke. Traditional fire trucks quickly arrived at the scene. However, due to the narrow space, the deployment of the ladder was clearly limited by the angle. Just then, a fire rescue version Anti-gravity platform rose from the ground.
A firefighter stood inside the platform, and the surrounding railings locked automatically. The device quickly rose to the designated floor. The small high-pressure water spray module aimed at the burning window and began spraying directly. At the same time, another rescue platform rose to the window next to it. The simulated trapped person was secured by the firefighter in a safety seat, and the platform slowly withdrew from the fire scene, landing in a safe area.
The entire process was more flexible than a traditional ladder.
Especially in narrow streets, high-rise windows, and complex obstacle environments, the advantages were so obvious they hardly needed explanation.
At first, the audience was just shocked. But when they saw the firefighter bringing the "trapped person" down from the high-rise window, many people slowly fell silent. Because they finally realized that this thing was not just showing off. It could really save lives.
The live chat comments also began to change.
"Holy crap, this is actually meaningful."
"If this could be used for high-rise fires, rescue speed would be much faster."
"I suddenly don't want to call this a toy for the rich anymore."
"If this thing is equipped for firefighters, it can really save a lot of people."
"My dad is a firefighter. Last time they rescued someone, because it was too high, a colleague gave his own equipment to the trapped person, but he himself suffered severe burns. You don't know, that uncle was originally fair-skinned and handsome, but now his face is full of scars, wuwuwu!!"
"To the person above, salute to the hero. I make burn ointment, it's an ancestral recipe, contact me if you need it."
"Damn it, this made me cry. God Lu has solved another major problem. I can't imagine how many people will survive in the future because of this flying rescue platform."
"This is what a people's entrepreneur is, salute!!"
After the video ended, applause broke out in the venue again.
This time, the applause was different from before. Before it was shock. Now, there was a bit more approval following the silence.
Lu Li continued to show other special versions.
The high-altitude work version can be used for facade cleaning, curtain wall maintenance, and hazard removal in old buildings. The device can stably hover on the outside of the wall, automatically maintaining a safe distance from the building.
The power inspection version, equipped with insulation protection and high-precision sensors, is suitable for power grid line inspection and high-altitude maintenance assistance, and can quickly reach locations that are difficult for humans to access.
The emergency rescue version is suitable for complex environments such as floods, mountainous areas, and landslides. It can carry relief supplies, medicine, and communication equipment, and can be quickly deployed when roads are cut off.
The urban inspection version can be used for bridge, viaduct, and building facade inspections, and can link with the urban Skynet system to timely detect hazards such as falling objects from heights, facade damage, and dangerous billboards.
Lu Li looked at the audience, his voice steady.
"Civilian commuting is a part of it."
"But not all of it."
"The true value of the star wing m1 platform is to make it so that many things that previously required risking one's life no longer need to."
In the audience, Lei Jun was silent for a moment, and his mindset also changed.
He was originally still depressed that Xiaomi cars had been overtaken on a curve. But after seeing the fire rescue demonstration, he realized that this was not just about snatching the car market. This was a whole new platform.
In the future, Xiaomi might be able to integrate into Guanghui Technology's low-altitude ecosystem through smart terminals, dispatch systems, and mobile internet experiences.
Mr. Ren nodded slightly. He saw deeper than many people.
If the Anti-gravity platform entered fields such as firefighting, electricity, emergency response, and telecommunications base station maintenance, the improvement in national infrastructure capabilities would be terrifying. This was not just a commercial product. It was a foundational capability.
The Tencent representative was even more convinced of the value of cooperation.
Future low-altitude transportation platforms would certainly bring new map, social, payment, and corporate campus dispatch services. Tencent didn't make hardware, but it could still enter the ecosystem.
The BYD representative had a complex expression. Because he realized that Guanghui Technology was not simply trying to snatch the car market. It was opening up a larger transportation platform. If they couldn't participate, they might be forced to stand outside the new transportation system in the future.
The Tesla representative's expression was the ugliest. The narrative of "Future Transportation" was originally what Tesla was best at telling. Now, Guanghui Technology had directly taken this narrative away using the actual machine and rescue videos.
The DJI representative remained silent. But his silence spoke volumes more than any words. Because he already knew that the old logic of the drone industry had been hit by a dimensional reduction attack in front of this Anti-gravity platform.
Lu Li returned to the center of the stage. The applause in the venue gradually died down.
But he did not immediately enter the pricing segment; instead, he looked at the big screen and smiled.
"What we just showed is the civilian urban commuting version."
"Many people should have noticed that the form of the star wing m1 is closer to a flying motorcycle."
"It is lightweight, flexible, and suitable for single-person urban commuting."
"But here comes the question."
He paused for a moment.
"What if a family is traveling?"
"What if a husband and wife are commuting to work?"
"What if someone doesn't like the riding posture, but wants an experience closer to riding in a car?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the audience had a glint in their eyes. The live stream chat also instantly became lively.
"It's here, it's here! I knew it couldn't just be a flying motorcycle!"
"Two-seater version?"
"Holy crap, is there really a flying car?"
"Don't make it into one of those weird capsules, I beg you."
Lu Li raised his hand and pressed the remote control. The big screen switched accordingly.
A brand-new Anti-gravity Vehicle slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was no longer in the form of a motorcycle.
The overall structure was closer to a two-seater cockpit vehicle. But it was completely different from a traditional car. It had no wheels. No heavy chassis. And none of the boxy car body structures of ordinary cars.
The entire fuselage presented a low-slung and smooth curved surface, with the front end slightly pressed down, the tail naturally tapered, semi-open stabilizing wings on both sides, and a transparent arc-shaped protective canopy covering the top of the cockpit.
That canopy was not heavy or oppressive. It did not lock people inside a closed box like some concept cars; instead, it looked more like a shrunken future airship.
The two-seat layout was slightly staggered, one in front and one behind, which not only ensured visibility but also made the entire fuselage lines appear more slender.
The silver-black shell shimmered with a cold light under the illumination. When several blue-white light strips on the edge of the fuselage slowly lit up, the entire vehicle looked like a low-altitude shuttle that had just driven out of a science fiction movie.
