328: Chapter 328 This isn't a new district, it's clearly 2060!

Xu Wenzhou quickly led the group to the sightseeing Anti-gravity Vehicle docking platform.

It was a semi-open platform.

The edge of the platform didn't have traditional railings, but a layer of nearly transparent tempered glass.

And when someone approached, a circle of soft, pale blue light would illuminate.

In the center of the platform sat a small, transparent-cabin shuttle.

Its appearance didn't resemble a plane, nor a helicopter; it looked more like an elongated, transparent water droplet.

The base was an Anti-gravity core module, covered by a silver-gray protective shell.

Inside were circular seats and panoramic glass.

Once seated, one could see the city outside with almost no blind spots.

As soon as Wang Peng sat down, he was incredibly excited.

"This is so cool!"

"Big brother, if I get a perfect score on my college entrance exam in the future, can you reward me with one?"

Lu Yaoguang sneered.

"You're quite good at taking out a loan on the future."

Wang Peng was unconvinced.

"What do you mean, a loan?"

"This is called goal management."

Chen Shuyu sat on the other side, fastened her seatbelt, and said indifferently, "First, find a way to get back those two points you lost in math."

Wang Peng fell silent instantly.

That jab hit too close to home.

The sightseeing Anti-gravity Vehicle started slowly.

At first, there was no noticeable vibration.

Only a circle of soft light illuminated from the Anti-gravity core at the bottom.

The next second, the entire transparent shuttle lifted off the ground silently.

Wang Peng instinctively grabbed the handrail.

But he soon discovered that the ascent was ridiculously smooth.

It provided almost the same stable experience as a single-person Anti-gravity Vehicle.

The cabin rose slowly.

The city gradually unfolded beneath their feet.

Until the sightseeing Anti-gravity Vehicle reached the preset altitude, the entire core area of the first phase of the Chengbei Smart New District was finally fully revealed before them.

In that instant, even Chen Shuyu fell silent.

Seen from the ground, the smart city was already stunning.

But looking down from the air, one could truly see the outline of this future city.

The surfaces of the skyscrapers were covered with large areas of smart glass.

The glass wasn't a rigid, reflective mirror surface, but rather like a city skin with a sense of breath.

When clouds blocked the sun, the facade would automatically increase its brightness, making the whole building appear warm and bright.

When sunlight hit directly, it would reduce the reflection intensity to avoid dazzling glare.

Several core buildings were connected by transparent sightseeing corridors.

Those corridors hung in mid-air, with pedestrians slowly passing through inside, the streetscape of the entire city beneath their feet.

Some high-rises had attached hanging platforms.

The platforms were made of tempered glass with soft blue light floating along the edges.

They looked dangerous, yet gave people an extremely strong sense of security.

Low-altitude Anti-gravity Vehicles shuttled along fixed routes.

They weren't chaotic.

Between every vehicle, a clear and stable distance was maintained.

The routes were not visible in the air.

But occasionally, pale blue guidance light strips would flash by, like trajectories gently drawn in the air by the city AI.

On the ground, fully automatic buses ran quietly along dedicated roads.

No sudden braking.

No honking.

No congestion.

Before each bus reached an intersection, the smart traffic light system would adjust the traffic rhythm in advance, allowing it to move with almost no need for long stops.

At a street corner, a Robot sanitation vehicle was cleaning up fallen leaves.

It didn't emit harsh noise like traditional sanitation vehicles, but used a low-power airflow to gather the leaves, then sucked them into the recycling bin from the bottom.

Not far away, several smart logistics carts moved along dedicated paths.

Some were delivering food takeaways, some were transporting supermarket goods, and others were towing small cold-chain boxes.

Every logistics cart would actively slow down when passing through pedestrian intersections and project a soft warning sign on the ground.

In the direction of the Future Commercial Street, air projection advertisements were slowly changing.

Those ads weren't ordinary screens.

They floated in the air outside the shops, like floating light in a transparent city.

There was the McDonalds future flagship store.

There was the Yonghui smart supermarket.

There was the Xiaomi Future Home.

There was the Huawei mobile phone full-scenario experience center.

And there was the Yazilan future beauty experience store, which was currently under renovation.

Wang Peng was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence:

"Once this place opens in the future, who needs tourist attractions?"

"I feel like just riding the bus here could sell tickets."

Lu Yaoguang didn't roast him this time.

Because she was also stunned by the scene before her.

As a journalism student, countless headlines instinctively appeared in her mind.

[The Future City Has Truly Arrived]

[Guanghui Technology Brings Science Fiction into Reality]

[Internal Footage of the First smart city Prototype in the Dragon Kingdom]

[Outside Is a Construction Site, Inside Is 2060]

She could even imagine how the entire internet would explode once these images were released.

Su Qingxue looked at Lu Li.

She noticed that Lu Li's expression was a bit different from usual.

Usually, when he saw Guanghui Technology's technology implemented, he mostly just nodded calmly.

Occasionally, if he found a design good, he would just make a casual comment.

But now, as he looked at the smart city district beneath his feet that was just beginning to take shape, his eyes were briefly dazed.

Lu Li did indeed have a moment of distraction.

Because the city before him reminded him of the city contours of 2060 in his previous life.

Of course, the current Chengbei Smart New District was far from as mature as in his previous life.

It wasn't complete enough.

Not natural enough.

Many places even still bore the traces of being experimental products.

But it already had the shadow of the future.

It wasn't a concept map.

Nor was it a few minutes of demonstration clipped for a press conference.

It was a future that people could truly walk into, sit in, eat, shop, commute, and live in.

Su Qingxue asked softly, "Hubby, what's wrong?"

Lu Li came back to his senses and looked at her.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that dream from my previous life."

Hearing him say this, Su Qingxue held his hand tighter.

She followed his gaze and looked at the city shining in the sunlight beneath their feet.

She suddenly had a very strange feeling.

It was as if she had entered the dream of the previous life that Lu Li had spoken of.

Just then, the voice of Deputy Chief Engineer Chang Mingyuan sounded inside the sightseeing Anti-gravity Vehicle.

"President Lu, President Su, I am remotely accessing the system."

Xu Wenzhou quickly explained, "Deputy Chief Engineer Chang is at the dispatch center, and he will synchronously explain the Anti-gravity Vehicle safety system."

Lu Li nodded.

Deputy Chief Engineer Chang Mingyuan's voice sounded again: "Currently, all low-altitude flight routes in the Chengbei Smart New District are uniformly dispatched by the city AI."

"Every route has an independent altitude layer and buffer zone."

"Sightseeing vehicles, logistics vehicles, and emergency vehicles will not share the same altitude layer."

"Building exterior walls, flight platforms, sightseeing corridors, and densely populated areas all have virtual no-fly boundaries set."

Wang Peng listened, stunned.

Deputy Chief Engineer Chang Mingyuan continued, "Even if the driver forcibly accelerates, the vehicle cannot crash into a building."

"The system will automatically dissipate force, decelerate, and deviate."

"If the driver continues to perform dangerous operations, the vehicle will immediately enter AI takeover mode and land on the nearest safe platform."

Wang Peng couldn't help but ask, "In other words, even if I want to court death, it won't let me die?"

The cabin was quiet for a moment.

Chen Shuyu gave him a cold look.

"Although your understanding is vulgar, it is generally correct."
