Many people discovered that the city built by Blacklight Biotechnology — the Eco Science City had launched several major projects.
For example, several factories of unknown purpose. These factories stretched for tens of kilometers. Together with the Blacklight Nuclear Power Plant by the sea, a vast industrial park was finally formed. It was almost the largest heavy industrial cluster in all of Africa.
In addition, a building in the center of the Eco Science City that had been under construction for more than a year was finally completed during this period.
This was a hemispherical building with an area of about four hectares and a diameter of about 200 meters. Looking from the inside, it should be a public facility like a multi-purpose stadium.
However, unlike ordinary stadiums, this hemispherical building had a huge dome using the latest lightweight material technology. There were 40,000 seats inside and a high-tech stage that could be lifted and lowered in the center.
The stage was in the shape of a distillation bottle. A straight passage went straight to the backstage where actors could directly enter the stage from the backstage. Above the stage was a hexahedron with a huge screen of 15000 x 10000 mm on each side, enough to allow the audience in the farthest seats to see everything on the stage.
The name of this enclosed multi-purpose stadium was called the Blacklight Dome.
At this time, a large group of people had arrived in this building that looked like a giant egg. These people went in and out, transporting the facilities in one by one.
The reason for this situation was that the 2024 TED conference would be held here.
Xia Yin handed the plan to Chen Chen. After Chen Chen agreed, Xia Yin sent it again to the African CEO Qian Wenhuan, who would operate the venue.
In order to make the Xingtian Plan receive unprecedented publicity, the head office even personally negotiated with the TED organizers and set the venue for the 2024 TED conference at the Blacklight Dome in the Eco Science City.
Moreover, unlike the previous TED conferences that only invited 1,350 spectators, this time, Blacklight Biotechnology sent out 30,000 invitations in one go, inviting all the well-known spectators who had attended the TED conference and waived the US $7,500 ticket fee. All expenses were borne by Blacklight Biotechnology.
The reason for this was not only because Chen Chen would give a speech at this TED conference but also because a new press conference would be held at the same time!
Such a high-profile move immediately attracted the attention of the world. Even those who did not receive an invitation letter began to quickly apply for visas to come to Namibia, wanting to participate in this grand event of science and technology.
At the end of March, the number of tourists in Eco Science City exceeded 100,000 for the first time. The huge floating population had brought about explosive economic benefits. It was difficult to find a room in the hotels in Eco Science City. Even the hotels in coastal cities like Walvis Bay and Swakopmund were overcrowded.
Many people had no choice but to live in the capital, Windhoek, which was hundreds of kilometers away.
In addition to the fact that TED was a world-famous speech conference and the participants were all leaders of various industries, the more important reason for this was that many people actually came for the new press conference of Blacklight Biotechnology.
Many people had long realized that Blacklight Biotechnology was a biomedical company that stood at the pinnacle of the Earth Federation. Although its market value was not high and it could not even enter the Fortune 500, that was only because the company had not received financing and gone public.
This company had grown to where it was today with its own strength …
…
On 1 April, in front of the Blacklight Dome in the center of Eco Science City, there was an endless stream of cars and people.
At eleven o 'clock in the morning, hundreds of news vehicles and media from all over the world came one after another and gathered in the square in front of the main entrance of the Blacklight Dome. Many reporters and hosts had to stand in the crowd and face the camera to start reporting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Federal Info. I'm your friend, Anna. We're now in the Eco Science City of Namibia. As you can see, it's already a sea of people here! In addition to us, there are hundreds of media outlets. I have to say that today is a special day because today is the day when the hero of the Earth Federation — Blacklight Biotechnology will hold a new model press conference!
"As a benchmark for biomedical companies, Blacklight Biotechnology is actually not very high-profile. Since this mysterious company came into the public eye, this is only the second time they've held a press conference. What's more dramatic is that the last time this company held a press conference, it happened to be this time last year. That press conference could be said to have shocked the world. I wonder if this press conference will disappoint everyone?
"In any case, please wait and see!"
The host of Federal Info spoke with fervor and assurance. Not far from her was a reporter from Agence France-Presse.
"Dear viewers in front of the screen, this is Agence France-Presse. Now I'm standing in front of the main entrance of the Blacklight Dome. This is the Eco Science City of the famous Blacklight Corporation. Speaking of this legendary company, I think there are very few people who don't know about it. Speaking of this legendary company, they rushed to develop a vaccine for the Blacklight virus a month in advance before many continents, saving all of Africa and even indirectly saving the Earth Federation...
"In addition, they also developed three kinds of anti-cancer targeted drugs, which are claimed to have a 90% chance of curing cancer. In addition, they also developed a treatment plan for age-reversal. This is a star company in the biopharmaceutical industry. Their emergence is almost equivalent to saving the lives of hundreds of millions of people...
"And today, not only is Blacklight Corporation holding another press conference, but this time, the most mysterious founder of this company will appear in the public eye for the first time as a TED speaker to give a speech. I wonder what kind of life enlightenment he will bring to us? I'm Anson from Agence France-Presse, please follow our follow-up report! "
...
This scene kept happening in the square of the Blacklight Dome. As it was getting closer and closer to noon, more people came in. These people were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, full of confidence. They held admission tickets in their hands, went through the ticket check and confirmed their identity, then had to pass through metal detectors and X-ray machines before they could enter the venue.
There were 40,000 seats in the Blacklight Dome. The reason why only 30,000 people were invited, the remaining 10,000 were prepared for some people who took the initiative to sign up. In addition, there were seats for major media outlets.
The ones responsible for the security of the venue were the Black Knights. To ensure the safety of Chen Chen's speech this time, 500 security guards were arranged in the venue to perform security tasks on the surface. Secretly, a thousand Black Knights were placed in the audience.
In addition, Little X was also monitoring the network 24/7. Once any signs of danger were found, it could respond quickly.
It was not until 12: 15, when everyone was completely seated in their seats, the lights of the venue suddenly dimmed. At the same time, the circular podium in the center of the venue slowly descended from the dome. At the same time, six huge screens also lit up one after another, completely exposed to the audience.
The TED Speech had officially begun.
