Chapter 237 Traffic jam? From now on, we'll be stuck in plane traffic!
A press conference will be held tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM to discuss "Solutions for Future Urban Three-Dimensional Transportation."
"Future City Three-Dimensional Transportation Solution? I recognize every single word in this title, but I can't understand it when they're put together?"
"Wait, they just had everyone using swords, and now they're implementing multi-level transportation? That's a really abrupt change of direction!"
"I have a feeling that tomorrow's press conference will definitely have something big going on!"
"3D? If I'm not mistaken, 3D means three-dimensional, right?!"
"Wake up, everyone! Tomorrow at 10 a.m., witness history!"
Countless eyes, filled with doubt, anticipation, and fervor, focused on this seemingly ordinary press conference.
...
The next day, at 9:50 a.m.
The press conference venue was packed.
Hundreds of media outlets from around the world, armed with cameras and microphones, were on high alert, their flashes as numerous as stars in broad daylight.
Everyone wanted to know if there was any connection between the three-dimensional transportation system and the previous "flying on a sword".
10 o'clock sharp.
A smiling, refined-looking spokesperson calmly walked onto the podium.
He was none other than the very person who, just a few days ago, left all the reporters speechless with the statement, "I am proud of the creativity of our people."
Upon seeing him, the reporters present felt a sudden chill.
Oh no, it seems this question will be difficult to ask again today.
The spokesperson cleared his throat, glanced around the room, and wore a perfectly timed humor on his face.
"Before the press conference begins, on behalf of the relevant departments, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the netizens."
grateful?
There was a moment of stunned silence. What were they thanking for?
"Thank you all for brainstorming over the past few days and providing hundreds of highly creative design ideas for our future personal flying vehicle, including but not limited to 'flying sword,' 'green onion,' and 'toilet plunger.'"
"puff--"
Several young reporters at the scene couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The live stream chat was filled with "hahahahaha".
[Official criticism, the most lethal!]
[Toilet plunger: I feel like I've reached the pinnacle of my life!]
I was wrong. I shouldn't have flown in slippers; it was a narrow-minded approach.
Wait, does this mean...it's true?
Amidst the lighthearted laughter, the spokesperson abruptly changed the subject, his expression becoming serious and solemn.
"After the jokes, let's get back to the main topic."
"I know that what everyone is really concerned about is how human travel will change in the future."
He turned to the side and pointed to the huge LED screen behind him.
"Please look at the big screen."
The screen lit up instantly, and a video began to play.
The scene depicts a futuristic city bathed in the morning light. Skyscrapers soar into the clouds, their surfaces covered with vertical ecological gardens, and the clean, tidy streets are traversed by only a few driverless vehicles used for logistics.
Just when everyone thought it was just an ordinary city promotional video, the scene changed.
On the balcony of a residential building, a man in a suit calmly finished the last sip of his coffee, then stepped onto a single-person flying vehicle that hovered outside the balcony and resembled a sci-fi motorcycle.
There was no roar, and no exhaust fumes.
The aircraft started up silently, transforming into a silver streak of light that instantly merged into an "invisible channel" in the sky composed of light bands.
Immediately afterwards, more aircraft flew out from the buildings in all directions.
There are streamlined sports cars, compact and exquisite daily commuter cars, and four-seater hovercars designed specifically for families... They converge into colorful steel torrents, crisscrossing the city sky in an orderly and undisturbed manner as they shuttle at high speed.
The entire process was quiet, efficient, and futuristic, filled with a sense of technology.
The live stream chat disappeared.
At the press conference, the sound of camera shutters stopped.
Everyone in the world who witnessed this scene forgot to breathe.
The silence was broken only when the spokesperson's clear and steady voice rang out again.
"We named it the 'Wind Chaser' series of personal intelligent aircraft."
"The core technology it employs is controllable anti-gravity."
"The energy source is a solid-state high-energy battery, which can provide a range of 1,000 kilometers on a single charge."
He paused for a moment, then uttered the most crucial number.
"Top speed: 300 km/h. Average cruising speed: 150 km/h."
"This means that the journey from the west to the east of the capital, which used to take two hours during peak hours, now only takes twenty minutes."
Boom! Everyone's mental strings snapped, and the network completely crashed!
Holy crap!!!
What the hell did I just see?! Antigravity?! Isn't this something from a science fiction movie?!
[You promised a cultivation story, but you turned it into a sci-fi movie?! National Team, you're so wicked!]
Traffic jams? Forget about them! From now on, you'll be stuck in airport traffic!
My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the press conference, and I said I saw the future!
I missed out on the 20,000 yuan "Spiritual Resurrection" book, how much is this flying vehicle? Two million? I'd sell my house to buy it!
So, flying on a sword is fake, but... everyone can fly, that's real?!
[National Mother, you've already developed spacecraft, shouldn't you put personal AI on the agenda?!]
[Get upstairs!]
[If nothing unexpected happens, they're already researching it, maybe they've even figured it out, they just haven't announced it yet. I don't believe that holography and spacecraft are out, but personal AI hasn't even started yet?!]
【Ahhh, am I the only one concerned about the price?! I really want this!】
The public's enthusiasm was instantly ignited!
An unprecedented sense of ecstasy and pride swept away all previous speculation and debate.
AI cultivation and sword flight seem so... childish in the face of the hardcore science fiction product, the "anti-gravity flight vehicle".
Countless netizens flooded the Ministry of Science and Technology's official account, starting a new round of wish-making.
The art style remains as unique as ever.
[I strongly demand a flying sword version! I don't care! My dream of cultivating immortality can't be shattered like this!]
How about considering a lotus-shaped flying machine? Add a halo light for a truly benevolent atmosphere, and I'll be the most compassionate person in the neighborhood!
[I, Old Sun, want to do the somersault cloud pose! It has to be fast! The pose has to be cool!]
[I don't ask for much, just give me a washboard-shaped one, so I can fly and kneel when my wife makes me, that's how sincere I am!]
The internet was abuzz with jubilation.
......
In Zhou Jue's secluded training room at the post-apocalyptic base.
Zhou Jue, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
She could clearly feel that the golden core spinning in her dantian had expanded to its limit, overflowing with brilliant spiritual energy, almost bursting through her meridians.
At the same time, an invisible and terrifying pressure originating from heaven and earth began to slowly gather above the secluded training room.
The heavenly tribulation is coming.
