On February 1, 2018, jointly organized by Walmart and Future Technology, the first VR product exhibition that attracted worldwide attention officially opened under everyone's expectations.
In four months, hundreds of thousands of products were displayed on the stage, ranging from small handicrafts to large-scale electromechanical, clothing, food, housing, and transportation. There were more than 76,000 exhibitors.
The most eye-catching product was undoubtedly the Mercedes-Benz S750e launched by Daimler Group. It used a wireless charging solid lithium-air battery designed by Future Heavy Industries, which combined a sense of power and beauty. Although it wasn't a dedicated auto show, the high-end product always made people enjoy it. Many ordinary tourists who couldn't afford a car could only enjoy it in the virtual world. Therefore, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz S750e successfully set a record for the highest number of views.
In addition, the most technologically advanced product exhibition was undoubtedly Future Heavy Industries' products. For example, improved household robots, Dragon Calvary X1 supercomputer chip, Deep Blue M1 … On the first day of the exhibition, Future Heavy Industries received orders worth 5 billion US Dollar.
Based on the data released by Future Group, in the first month of the global product exhibition, the total volume easily exceeded 20 billion US Dollar. If this trend continued, this year's global product exhibition would easily break the record of previous years' turnover.
After attending the opening ceremony of this grand event, Jiang Chen took off his helmet.
Although he was the "founder" of the virtual reality network, he personally enjoyed the feeling of living in reality. As the president of the group, he only needed to read the opening speech written by his secretary and shake hands with representatives of major companies.
With Ayesha's help, he shaved and changed into a set of casual clothes before leaving the house.
Today was an important day. Not only was it the opening ceremony of the VR product exhibition, but it was also the completion ceremony of Penglai City.
…
On the sea north of Coro Island, two Guardian-class frigates modified with electromagnetic pulse cannons, accompanied by Kilo-class submarines, began to patrol the target area. More than a dozen large engineering ships lined up along the edge of the construction area and formed a loose circle.
Countless large and small yachts and speedboats lined up on the side. Some of them were rich people traveling to Coro Island, some were investors or immigrants who bought real estate in Penglai City, and some were reporters invited by Future Group.
The Black Hawk helicopter belonging to Celestial Trade hovered above the sea, carrying staff to conduct the final inspection of the construction site. Aurora-20s suddenly broke through the clouds and whistled past, attracting cheers and whistles from tourists and reporters.
Today's weather was clear, and there was no sign of a storm within a radius of a hundred miles. It was a good day to hold the completion ceremony.
On a cruise ship, tourists in beachwear and bikinis leaned against the railing, looking out at the calm sea.
"Sh * t, that fighter jet is so cool!"
"I heard it's called the Aurora-20, I don't know which is better, F35 or it."
"I'm more concerned about where is Penglai City? If I'm not mistaken, it should be today. "
"A city on the sea, the Atlantis of the East. This is too romantic. Darling, can we live there from now on? "
"Okay, baby, whatever you say … if Future Group doesn't back out."
"Look! The sea is moving! "
With a cry of surprise, everyone stopped joking and stared in the direction of the sea.
Yes, the surface of the sea was moving!
Bean-sized bubbles surged up from the bottom of the ocean. Within a radius of tens of miles, turbid bubbles rolled and rolled, even covering the rolling waves. About two minutes later, the tumbling bubbles stopped. The sea level rose abruptly, and a small hill with a radius of hundreds of meters was forcibly lifted.
Then, the seawater spread around, and the ships and yachts in the outer circle were like leaves in the waves, pushed away by the suddenly rising tide! Some of the ships that were closer even tilted at a 45-degree angle!
"The ship! The ship is going to fall! "A tourist shrank on the edge of the cabin and screamed.
"Stop screaming! There's no leak and it's not turning over, what's going to fall! "
"Look! Over there! Penglai City is coming out! "
"God, what did I see …"
"Mother Mary!"
"Buddha!"
"Fu * k!"
Like a steel blade, the steep obelisk building was like a sea-stabilizing needle, drilling out of the sea.
Then, the metal building with a radius of hundreds of meters was lifted up along with the water surface. Tall buildings sprang up from the water surface at a speed visible to the naked eye. The seawater that was lifted fell from the top of the building, forming a natural waterfall, covering the face of Penglai City like a veil covering the face.
The seawater fell to the surface of the sea, and white mist surged within a hundred miles.
The wind blew gently, and the white mist waves swayed with the wind, dancing seductively on the sea.
The steel split the waves, and layers of waves surged around.
The waves slammed against the side of the ship, making a muffled sound like a hammer hitting steel. Standing on the towering Guardian-class frigate, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the rise of the city through binoculars.
"The main building is rising!"
"Unlock the stability lock, the second step is rising!"
"Rising is complete, the graphene pipe is connected!"
"Drainage sluice …"
Like a top, the circular main building was stable on the water surface. Then the ring of foam aluminum structure rose, the graphene pipe extended from the hole, and accurately penetrated the side of the central island, forming a circular artificial giant island!
The seawater poured into the building surged onto the street, washing the seashells, conches, and seaweed into the sea, forming a waterfall on the edge of the island. After the island floated, the staff immediately opened the pressure valve at the bottom of the island and discharged the seawater poured into the drainage and water supply system.
"Is this Penglai City? Although it's not as beautiful as in virtual reality, it feels much more stunning than in virtual reality. "Xia Shiyu stood next to Jiang Chen and exclaimed.
Ayesha didn't speak, but from her sapphire-like eyes, Jiang Chen could still read the shock.
As for Natasha, as a Russian diplomat, she had her head down at the moment and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Don't worry, I bet it will definitely be as beautiful as the one in virtual reality." Jiang Chen looked at the city from afar and smiled.
The most critical and most likely to go wrong was the floating of the main building. Jiang Chen's clenched hands finally relaxed. The drainage work would take two full days, and the next step was to fill in other structures between the outer ring and the central island.
These structures were like pieces of building blocks, all built on the seabed, and they only needed to be pieced together step by step.
It would take about five days.
After all the work was done, the only thing left was to clean up. Staff in protective suits would first land on the island and drive garbage trucks to clean up seaweed, shells, and jellyfish shrimp from house to house.
In the process of floating, Penglai City brought up a lot of "local products" from the seabed, and now the entire artificial island was filled with a strong smell of the sea. If the garbage was not cleaned up, no one would be willing to live on the island.
The seemingly simple cleaning work was the most time-consuming and laborious part of the entire floating work. It was expected that Future Group would use 1,000 "Xiao Lin", 2,000 cleaning staff, 6,000 cleaning drones, 50 garbage trucks, and water tankers to complete the entire cleaning work.
It was expected to take one month.
