Chapter 205 Public Opinion

The press conference continues.

Reporters crowded around the stage, glaring flashes of light flashed in front of Shi Nian'an. She was a little flustered as she rarely faced the media.

Fortunately, the venue was well prepared. Taiping An Security's well-trained bodyguards stepped forward and ushered the reporters back to their seats. "We'll schedule a dedicated interview time after the press conference. Please refrain from disrupting the venue!"

The reporters then returned to their seats reluctantly.

But they didn't just sit there doing nothing. They all opened their phones or took out their notebooks to quickly edit the videos and write the scripts so that they could publish them as soon as possible.

Time is the lifeline of media professionals. Whoever can get the first place will get the largest traffic.

They were certain that this news would go viral online, and they certainly wouldn't miss this great opportunity.

The content was edited as quickly as possible, submitted to the editor-in-chief for review, and then uploaded to the platform's media account simultaneously.

But after sending it out, there was no movement in the background.

Reporter [confused]: Is there a flow limit???

What’s up with this rubbish platform? It doesn’t matter, they have a media matrix. If one platform limits traffic, they can switch to another.

This time, the post exploded in views within a minute of being published, and the topic #What is a material machine# directly topped the platform's hot search list.

Netizens flocked to watch the show.

[I'm so shocked! This thing can actually create things out of thin air? Doesn't that mean my newly bought 3D printer is useless?]

Will we no longer need to shop online in the future and can just print clothes and shoes directly on a physical machine?

This TD thing is an infinite replicator! Is the Interstellar Empire's cutting-edge technology becoming a reality?!

How much does one cost? I hope it can be cheaper, and ideally, it can be promoted nationwide so everyone can have one.

[Everyone in the comment section is dreaming. This kind of thing is made for the rich to play with. People at the bottom don’t even think about it.]

Can this machine synthesize a partner? I'd like to customize a partner, young and handsome, 5'8" with abs.

[If you want a partner, add me. I like mature women, preferably with big breasts and a thin waist.]

"No, don't you think this thing is terrifying? It can be made into guns and cannons, right?"

Don't worry, the government will definitely intervene. Instead of worrying about that, think about where you'll get your screws after the factory closes down!

The number of people in the live broadcast room soared, reaching over 500,000 in a blink of an eye, and the barrage of comments was refreshed very quickly.

【Witness history! 】

[Host, can this machine synthesize banknotes? I'm not greedy, just print me a thousand.]

"It's just a piece of clothing, what's so surprising about that? You're such a boaster!"

[I don't think it's real, so I'm just trying to trick you elementary school students.]

After the excitement, the people at the scene regained their composure.

The guest raised his hand and asked, "How far has your team's material reorganization technology progressed? Can the material machine really synthesize everything as you claim?"

Nian An was already prepared for this question and answered calmly, "According to the particle principle, matter machines can indeed synthesize all things, and the simpler the material elements, the easier it is to synthesize. Currently, this Tianqiong N1 household matter machine can already stably synthesize basic elements such as hydrogen and oxygen, and more basic daily necessities and food are no problem."

"As for simple processed products like T-shirts, as I believe you have just seen, the Tianqiong N1 can achieve stable mass production by simply entering a specific material code. Here, I also welcome everyone to download the Xinhuo app developed by our company to view it. Currently, the app has over 1,000 basic material codes available for free. All users who purchase a material machine can directly use these codes for free synthesis."

Upon hearing this, the guest who asked the question's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a great investment, with promising prospects, a vast market, and no competitors. The material machine can be sold at a low price. Once you've established a strong user base, you can make a killing just by selling the material code!

I felt extremely lucky that she was free today and came to take a look. Isn't this a stroke of luck and a chance to make money?

The audience at the scene was satisfied, but the audience in the live broadcast room was not satisfied.

[I understand. First free, then charge. This routine is nothing new.]

[Over a thousand substance codes sounds like a lot, but they're just basic stuff, right? If you really want to synthesize something better, you'll have to spend money.]

[Go away, go away. This is for the rich. Even if technology develops to the point of outer space, the poor still don't deserve it.]

[Can you please get out of here, trolls? It's free, what else do you want? ]

What do you mean by poor people don't deserve it? Scientists don't need money to do research and development. How dare you complain about it being too expensive?

[They didn't say they were going to charge money. They just said the more complex ones hadn't been developed yet. It's not too late to criticize them after they actually charge money.]

[Official, ignore the haters, I support you, the first order is on the shelves]

Netizens may curse with their mouths, but their bodies are honest.

Jin Feifan had been sitting in the audience monitoring the data. In just a short while, the number of registered users of Xinhuo exceeded one million.

She was stunned. Remember, she used to work at Huangtian, and even a company with such a reputation had to rely on paying people to attract new users. It was a first for a company like Tianqiong to achieve explosive user growth without spending a penny on marketing.

When Shi Nian'an saw the excited expressions on the faces of the people in the audience, he knew that they had been completely conquered by the material machine.

She smiled and said, "Well, I'll ask a few guests to come up on stage and operate the material machine themselves."

Before he finished speaking, everyone in the audience raised their hands.

Shi Nian'an looked down at the stage, and when his eyes swept across a corner, he suddenly stopped.

Isn’t that woman in the light grey lapel shirt her stepmother?

She found it hard to understand that the person who used to love vanity and showing off was now so low-key that he didn't even want to show up at the press conference and instead wanted to sit in the audience.

As for the woman sitting next to her and listening attentively, if she remembered correctly, she should be the founder of Xinxing Technology, Duan Yucai.

"Then please invite Ms. Duan Yucai to come on stage and experience it."

Duan Yucai was stunned for a moment, then after he came to his senses, he stood up happily and walked quickly onto the stage.

Shi Nian'an instructed her to start the device and operate the touch screen.

Duan Yucai couldn't suppress his excitement when he saw the dazzling array of items on the screen.

Although she had just had a pleasant conversation with President Tianqiong and had a pretty good understanding of the material machine, it was still different to operate it herself.

She chose not ordinary daily necessities, but a rare mineral. This mineral is an essential material for making fuel cells, but it is very difficult to mine and therefore very expensive.

After Duan Yucai started the machine, the small piece of plastic waste was decomposed and reorganized under the action of the resonance force field, and transformed into a piece of gleaming ore.

People only saw the red light on the machine turn green, and then the hatch opened, revealing a crystal clear metal ore that was gleaming with a light purple glow.

Ordinary people don’t understand the value of this thing, but the people present are all people in the industry. They can tell at a glance that this is an extremely rare and expensive metal ore, and their eyes immediately light up.

Duan Yucai was even more excited. He held the ore in his hands, his fingertips trembling with excitement. "Oh my God! The purity is even higher than naturally occurring ore. This will definitely reduce the cost of fuel cells to one-tenth!"

She had already given up hope and even planned to give up the project team and find a job honestly.

Unexpectedly, the Sky Dome rekindled her hope. This brand-new technology, which revolutionized modern science, could definitely usher in a brand-new era. Only those who boarded the Sky Dome express train could avoid being crushed by the wheels of the advancing times.

She made up her mind.

She is going to join the Sky Dome with her project team!

Shi Nian'an looked at the guests and the live camera and said with a smile, "Most of our team members have backgrounds in physics and materials science, so the synthesis of more complex materials and biological tissues is still under development. We also sincerely invite professionals in fields such as chemistry, biology, and computer science. If you wish to participate in the research and development of material reorganization technology and want to use your knowledge to change the world, then Tianqiong welcomes you to join us!"

"Also, the issue everyone is most concerned about is purchasing. Due to limited funds, there are currently only 2,000 units of the first batch of Tianqiong N1 home material machines in stock. 1,000 of these will be auctioned to companies in the energy, medical, manufacturing and other fields. The successful bidders will receive priority cooperation rights, and guests attending the auction will enjoy priority bidding qualifications. The other 1,000 units will all be donated for charity and given free of charge to women in financial difficulties. The specific application conditions and procedures can be found on the Xinhuo app. Don't worry if you haven't purchased one yet, we will quickly launch the second generation product, and everyone can register for an appointment on the Xinhuo app."

"Finally, I want to say that the release of the Material Machine is not the end of Tianqiong. In the future, Tianqiong will continue to promote the iterative upgrade of the Material Machine. In addition to the home-use type, we will also launch professional-grade Material Machines such as industrial, medical, and scientific research types. I believe that with the continuous breakthroughs in technology, it is only a matter of time before the Material Machine can integrate all things!"

"This concludes this press conference. Thank you to all the guests and media friends for coming. If you would like to learn more about material machine technology, please feel free to contact our technical team after the meeting."

Shi Nian'an put down the microphone, and reporters and investors in the audience rushed up, vying to ask questions and discuss cooperation.

On the Xinhuo APP, the number of reservations for the second-generation material machine is also rising rapidly.

At this point, the Tiankong Technology press conference, which was initially ignored but later became a sensation, came to an end.

Those entrepreneurs who had thrown the invitation letters into the trash before regretted it so much after seeing the hot searches.

At the same time, the phone of Tianqiong’s marketing department was directly blown away by calls. Countless investors and partners wanted to cooperate with Tianqiong, and orders came in one after another.

The topic of the material machine quickly dominated all major social media platforms, triggering a global public outcry. Shi Nian'an's name became known to the world overnight. It took a full week for the hype to subside.

But this is just the beginning.
