Just as I was wondering, I saw Jiang Ji put her hand on the water glass next to her, and within two seconds, the water glass disappeared.
The scene erupted in uproar, with everyone staring at the curtain in disbelief.
No one doubted that it was magic; after all, it was the apocalypse, who would be in the mood to perform magic tricks!
"This is what I'm going to show you, a spatial storage device that will go down in history!"
The survivors gasped in shock. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.
The Alliance is amazing! They actually managed to invent something like this! It's incredible! This is not just something to be recorded in history, it's something that has never been done before or will never be done again!
"Well, influenced by cultivation novels, I made the first batch of products into the shape of rings. Of course, the appearance isn't important; we can also make them into spatial buttons, spatial jade pendants, and spatial backpacks. Look, I put it in, I put it out, I put it in again, I put it out again..."
Jiang Ji was having a great time, and the survivors' hearts trembled as they followed his every move.
I really want a spatial storage device!
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan's eyes lit up, thinking that if they had a storage device, their space could be hidden even better!
And then there's An An and Nuan Nuan, who can't use their spatial abilities. If only I had a spatial ring, I wouldn't have to envy them so much anymore.
Jiang Ji played for about five minutes, and everyone watched with great excitement for those five minutes.
Li Zongmengguan hadn't expected Jiang Ji to be so "outrageous." He coughed lightly, and Jiang Ji immediately stopped smiling, looking at the camera and asking, "Do you want it?"
"Yes!" shouted the crowd at the press conference, and the survivors in front of the curtain nodded in agreement.
"I won't even think about giving it to you!" Jiang Ji said cheekily.
However, worried that everyone might misunderstand, he quickly explained, "Although the storage device has been successfully developed, its capacity is limited and it's not stable yet. The ring on my hand only has ten cubic meters of space inside, which can probably be used for about two years. After two years, it will probably explode."
"This is already very good. How could ordinary people like us dare to covet a storage ring that can be passed down through generations!"
"Yes, yes, I would gladly sacrifice ten years of my life for such a storage ring."
"This Engineer Jiang is too Versailles-like. He doesn't even care about a storage ring that can be used for two years. If I had such a thing, I would burn incense and pray for it every day."
Such comments were heard endlessly, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan felt that what everyone said made a lot of sense.
As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Jiang Ji smiled and said, "I know you all want it, but space stones are limited. If we produce these short-lived storage devices, our invention will only be a flash in the pan and we won't be able to preserve the finished product."
In the future, when you tell your descendants the truth, they'll think you're just boasting. Do you think that's a good thing?
Of course, that's not good, but what can we do? There are so many people in Qinghua Kingdom, how could they possibly have a family heirloom storage device?
"So, the engineers at the research institute are working hard to find ways to extend the lifespan of the storage devices. They already have a direction, but they lack materials, otherwise they could speed things up even more."
Jiang Ji slowly explained the purpose of the press conference: "The purpose of this live broadcast is twofold: firstly, to share this good news with everyone, and secondly, to leverage everyone's strength to find the Space Stone."
"Look, these dark stones with scattered dots on them are space stones."
Jiang Ji beckoned Li Sa over to take a close-up shot of the black stone, while he explained the stone's characteristics to Li Sa.
"Dear survivors, have you ever seen this kind of space stone? Just a small piece can be used to make a space storage device."
Currently, our engineers are using the space stones at a very low efficiency, resulting in relatively small storage units. However, everyone is working hard to improve the utilization rate, and we believe that it won't be long before we can create large-capacity storage devices.
"Although this type of stone is rare, it is very large when it does appear. The few pieces we have found so far are about the size of a washbasin. The stone is very dense and heavy, and it takes many people working together to move it."
Of course, it's also possible that we overlooked the smaller ones.
"To satisfy everyone's desire for spatial storage devices and the research institute's need for experimental materials, we can cooperate. After discussion, the alliance has decided to open a spatial storage device exchange channel."
You don't need to do anything else, just find the space stone and hand it over to the base chief.
We will collect the space stones from the base periodically. Half of the space stones you find can be used to craft storage devices, and the other half can be used as a reward. If everyone agrees, we can proceed after the press conference.”
"Of course, be careful when you go out, and do not rob. In case of a dispute, the base guard will decide the matter based on the actual situation."
I must remind everyone here that if blood is spilled, no matter how valuable the stone is, our research institute will no longer want it. Furthermore, those who cause trouble will be blacklisted and permanently banned from purchasing spatial storage devices.
Jiang Ji spoke in a serious tone, and the audience members both at the scene and in the distance had no doubt that what he said was false.
Then came the Q&A session.
Due to equipment limitations, friends from afar couldn't interact, but their questions were all raised by the audience on site.
Everyone listened attentively, some even taking notes. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also secretly noted it down, deciding to discuss it further when they got back.
Time flew by, and the press conference ended amidst everyone's reluctant gazes. But the aftereffects lingered; the survivors remained, discussing the event, unwilling to leave for a long time.
The guards came over and said, "It's a bit dangerous to gather together. Everyone should spread out a bit before you talk."
But this obviously didn't have much effect. People used to hate the steam eruptions, but now they wish they could erupt more often.
Ideally, it should be a large one with stones.
Wen Chaohui had no choice but to send people to disperse the crowd. He promised to take people out later to search for the space stone, and the crowd reluctantly left.
Wen Chao rubbed his temples. To be honest, today's news was quite a shock to him.
Although he knew beforehand that the stone was a space stone and had received a promise from the Alliance, he never expected them to announce it so soon.
Moreover, Qiu Man didn't give any warning when he made the notification. If he hadn't been well-prepared, there might have been a riot at the scene.
He sighed deeply, pondering the next steps in his mind. After a long while, he finally summoned Jiang Shulian...
Things were relatively peaceful in Haishi; with the security team maintaining order, everyone dispersed in an orderly fashion. But in many other places, things weren't so harmonious.
Not to mention the survivors, even the guards and the base commander were shocked by the appearance of the spatial storage device. Their eyes were fixed on the curtain, wishing they could pry Jiang Ji's fingers off it.
