324: Chapter 324 Tech Giants' Undercover Visit

Deputy Chief Engineer Chang Mingyuan nodded.

"Yes, President Su."

"Many companies have now realized that the smart city is not just a simple real estate project."

"It is more like a gateway to future physical commerce."

"As long as they get in with the first batch, they can adapt to the consumption scenarios of the future city in advance."

Su Qingxue did not speak; she only looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li leaned back in his chair, his gaze falling on the planning map.

In fact, Deputy Chief Engineer Chang Mingyuan was right.

Many people initially thought that the Beining City smart city was just a model city project created by Guanghui Technology in cooperation with the City Hall.

But truly smart people could see it.

This is not just a model project.

This is the blueprint for where urban construction in Dragon Country might head over the next thirty years.

Smart transportation.

Robot services.

AI scheduling.

Unmanned shops.

Community healthcare.

Smart logistics.

Low-altitude vehicles.

Once this system is up and running, there is no telling how many cities across the country will follow suit in the future.

And the companies that get on board now are effectively securing their tickets to the gateway of future urban commerce in advance.

After the meeting, Su Qingxue closed her tablet.

"When do you plan to go over?"

Lu Li thought for a moment.

"The sooner, the better."

"I want to see it for myself before the official project launch livestream."

Su Qingxue nodded. She understood what Lu Li meant.

The Beining City smart city is not an ordinary project.

The Xingyan S1 press conference could blow up the entire internet based on its demonstration effects.

The Xingyi M1 could create an overwhelming impact based on its Anti-gravity technology alone.

But the smart city is different.

It is a system. A city-level system that is complex to the extreme.

If a problem occurs in any part of it, what the outside world sees will not just be "a detail that wasn't done well."

Instead, they will question the reliability of the entire smart city.

Before the official display, it must be self-checked first.

Just then, the office door was knocked on. Chen Shuyu pushed the door open and entered.

She had clearly already heard the news that Lu Li and Su Qingxue were planning to go to the Chengbei Smart New District.

Before she had even sat down, her eyes were already lighting up.

"I heard you are going to the Beining City smart city?"

Su Qingxue glanced at her. "You are certainly quick with news."

Chen Shuyu immediately sat up straight, looking serious.

"I am the CEO of the Robot Company."

"The smart city is full of Robot application scenarios."

"It's very reasonable for me to go and inspect it, right?"

She said it with a straight face, as if it were not at all because she wanted to go see the future city.

Lu Li glanced at her.

"You'd better not get in there and be unable to walk, just like the first time you entered the Virtual Helmet."

Chen Shuyu's expression stiffened. That incident had happened a long time ago.

But every time Lu Li brought it up, she still felt like she was being publicly executed on the spot.

She forced herself to remain calm.

"That was my first experience with an immersive virtual world; any normal person would be shocked."

"This time is different. I am mainly doing it for work."

Su Qingxue saw right through her. However, she did not call her out.

After all, Chen Shuyu was indeed in charge of the Robot Company now, and the Robot application scenarios in the smart city had a direct relationship with her.

Taking her along was not a problem.

"Then let's go together."

Chen Shuyu's eyes clearly brightened even more. But she quickly suppressed it, pretending to be very calm.

"Okay. I will inspect it carefully."

Lu Li did not speak. Just watching her trying so hard to act calm, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

On the other side, Wang Peng also quickly learned of this news through family channels.

He called Lu Yaoguang immediately. As soon as the call connected, he could not suppress his excitement.

"Sis! Big news! My brother is going to the smart city!"

Lu Yaoguang had originally been organizing school club materials, but upon hearing this, she immediately looked up.

"The smart city?"

Wang Peng nodded repeatedly, although Lu Yaoguang could not see it at all.

"Yes! That one in Beining City! The future city that Guanghui Technology has been preparing for over a year!"

"I heard it has fully automatic buses, Robot shops, flying vehicle docking platforms, and a bunch of Future Commercial Streets!"

Lu Yaoguang's eyes lit up. She was a journalism student. She understood the dissemination value of this matter better than Wang Peng.

The Xingyan S1 had just pushed Guanghui Technology's popularity to a new high point.

If the smart city were to follow up now, it would be a direct transition from personal life scenarios to a future city model.

For Guanghui Technology's public opinion promotion, this was simply a perfect transition.

She immediately said: "I am a journalism student; learning about future city communication cases in advance is very reasonable."

Hearing this, Wang Peng immediately followed up. "I am a top scientist of the country's future; visiting the future city in advance is also very reasonable."

Lu Yaoguang was silent for two seconds. "Finish your homework first before you talk about it."

Wang Peng immediately became anxious. "Sis, when can't you do homework? You can't see a future city every day!"

Lu Yaoguang sneered. "I will pass this sentence on to Second Aunt exactly as you said it."

Wang Peng instantly cowered. However, cowering aside, he still did not give up.

In the end, the two of them begged Lu Li.

Lu Li initially did not want to take too many people. After all, this time it was not an official visit. Nor was it a live broadcast promotion.

He was only planning an internal self-check to see the real situation.

But on second thought, it didn't matter if Wang Peng and Lu Yaoguang went.

Wang Peng would be responsible for providing shocked reactions. Lu Yaoguang could just happen to observe the smart city from a communication perspective.

As for Chen Shuyu, she was already the CEO of the Robot Company.

So in the end, the list of people for the trip was decided like this.

Lu Li. Su Qingxue. Chen Shuyu. Lu Yaoguang. Wang Peng. Plus two Guanghui Technology accompanying security personnel and one driver.

Before setting off, Su Qingxue asked Lu Li: "Should we notify Beining City in advance?"

Lu Li shook his head. "No need. Don't notify them yet. And don't start a livestream in advance."

Su Qingxue looked at him. Lu Li continued: "Before the official display, let's see the real situation first."

"If we notify them in advance, what we see might not be the real thing."

Su Qingxue understood what he meant. The smart city is not an ordinary project. This is a model for Dragon Country's urban construction for the next thirty years.

If there are problems at the very first sight, it won't just be Guanghui Technology's face that is lost. It will also be the face of Beining City. And even the face of the future smart city blueprint.
