Chapter 452: Turning Point in History
The press conference is over.
The lights gradually brightened and the music echoed.
In the audience below, many people still maintained the same posture as before.
No one stood up.
Even the applause was a full ten seconds late.
Then it exploded like a wave!
When the show was over, Qi Wei didn't even leave. He stood at the exit, looking at Yao Wenqing's back.
There was some envy in his eyes.
…
At this time, the outside world.
After the Jingyue press conference, the entire technology industry was completely out of control!
The technology circle is flooding the screen!
More than a dozen digital media outlets edited the entire event overnight.
All major media platforms have pinned the same video:
[Whale Leap Press Conference Full Replay]
Soon, in less than an hour, the number of clicks exceeded five million!
Barrage of comments:
“It really is a new year, a new beginning!”
"If anyone tells me there's nothing made in China, I'll get angry with him!"
“History begins to change from this moment!”
"I cried. I'm an industrial designer. After watching this press conference, I really want to switch careers and work for a gaming company."
"This is ridiculously true! I never thought that the 5090 I just won would suddenly lose its appeal!"
…
Colleges and universities and research institutions are all excited!
In many double first-class university experimental clusters,
"Does Whale Leap need a researcher? I can change direction tomorrow!!"
"I have to start researching the Whale Fall interface protocol now, otherwise no company will dare to hire me when I graduate next year!"
"Everyone, make sure you hurry up! I'm sure of that! This year is the year of virtualization! Many things can be done again through this virtual cabin!"
…
Weibo has completely fallen.
The top 20 trending searches, except for one piece of entertainment industry breakup news, are all about whales:
#Xingzhou user replacement#
#Developer Alliance#
#WhaleLeapOpenEcosystem#
#Floating Shore Experience Hall#
Even the Weibo engineer on duty couldn't help but post:
"Brothers... stop rushing... the trending search system is going to crash... the traffic this time is unparalleled!"
…
The leaders from all over the country called Jingyue like crazy.
A deputy mayor was still awake at three in the morning, coffee in one hand and phone in the other:
"I don't care what you guys say, we have to find a way to set up the Floating Shore Experience Center in our city!"
"We can provide the venue fee and construction fee!"
"The most important thing is to land as soon as possible!"
…
In the Tencent internal group in Pengcheng,
It's completely collapsing at this moment.
"Is Mr. Ma still on the way?"
"Why haven't you replied yet?"
"Are we really not considering integrating into the whale fall ecosystem?"
"I bet our stock price will drop tomorrow!"
The executive in charge of the market even cursed directly.
"Fuck you! You called the Starship a gimmick back then, and now that the virtual cabin is activated you're worried?"
"What kind of analysis do you guys put into your competitive analysis?"
"We can't block Whale Leap's punch."
Others spoke up.
"Who could have imagined this? This kind of thing would cause such a huge shock in the gaming community!"
"This time, we've completely achieved overtaking on the curve!"
"That's right. Admit it or not, Whale Leap has already won."
"What I envy most now are my classmates at Beishan!"
…
The next day, in the morning,
The impact of whale fall is not over yet.
The entire financial circle stayed up all night.
The stock market plunged as soon as it opened.
Tencent Games’ stock price is fluctuating at a low level!
It plummeted 13.1% in one hour.
The capital market is more honest than anyone else.
The breaking news on major financial platforms has already gone red.
The day after the Whale Leap press conference, Tencent Games' stock price plummeted 13.1%.

Whale Leap's valuation skyrocketed! Whale Leap became the only "unreplicable" existence.
Jingyue not only released the technology, but also released the capsule, helmet, developer alliance, and even deployed the experience center!
Where can you find these things in the gaming world?
These are all unique existences!
Moreover, Jingyue has not yet been launched.
Therefore, a well-known fund manager posted:
“Once Jingyue goes public, everyone will have to make way for it.”
…
At this moment, in a high-level experimental park in China.
A middle-aged man in an old-fashioned jacket stood at the office door holding a tablet, but didn't dare to knock.
Two men were talking in the room.
A young official in a suit sat on the sofa.
He flipped through the various materials about Jingyue that he had just printed out, his brows furrowed.
Opposite him, an old man with gray hair and wearing light gray cloth was holding a cup of tea and blowing gently.
"Are you sure?" the old man asked gently.
"Yeah." The young man nodded.
"We have verified the live stream of the press conference, and our experts have watched the entire demonstration and confirmed that it was real-time, not a rehearsal, and there was no noticeable delay in the movements."
"Furthermore, we immediately arranged for a team of experts to go to the Magic City and liaise with Jingyue. The information we received is true!"
The old man smiled slightly and spoke slowly:
"good!"
“It’s incredible that a private enterprise can have such strength!”
"We must focus on supporting such enterprises!"
The young man smiled, as if he had been prepared for this:
"Don't worry about that!"
"Whale Leap is in Shanghai. Our follow-up team will arrive today."
"Besides, we have already communicated with the Magic City, and they also attach great importance to it!"
"According to your intention, I have communicated it to them. Anyway, it means focusing on protection and support. We will give you whatever you want!"
"good!"
soon,
Authoritative official media client published a comment article:
Whale Leap launches "Whale Fall" immersive technology platform, creating a domestically produced standard for original virtual worlds
The comments read:
"The Whale Fall device and open ecosystem plan released by Jingyue Games is not only an enterprise-level technological leap, but also represents a new exploration of the integrated development model of 'hardware + software + content ecosystem' in domestic technology."
“…”
Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Culture’s official Weibo account posted:
We will support the development of a high-quality technology, culture, and creative content ecosystem, and encourage the development of an immersive interactive experience industry.
Just a few minutes later, various news outlets of science and technology-related departments issued a joint promotion announcement:
"Jingyue has become an important direction for emerging virtual experience platforms. Relevant national units will strengthen policy coordination and provide resource collaboration."
Many media outlets have expressed their views.
The Whale Falls launch event has sparked widespread online attention across various industries, with the potential market far exceeding original consumer electronics estimates.
The Whale Leap incident has become a rare landmark in the rise of domestic technology in recent years.
[The beginning of a century-long transformation! We recommend that relevant ministries establish special support programs.]
…
And at the headquarters of Jingyue Company.
Lu Ming’s phone was about to explode.
Cultural and tourism bureaus from various places called to ask if we could create locally customized content.
The president of a certain university called to ask if he could access the Whale Fall course.
And not only online,
Today, when I got to work,
There are buses all over the building below the Whale Leap Building.
The surrounding area had been under martial law for a long time, and many media, anchors, and students could only watch from the outside.
The project teams and staff from various departments above all began to move towards the Whale Leap.
And Lu Ming obviously had no way to refuse these people.
Lu Ming himself didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Less than 24 hours after the Whale Fall press conference ended, the whole world seemed to have begun to revolve around Whale Leap.
Not the gaming circle, not the technology circle.
It's the whole society.
He had already calculated that the press conference would cause a sensation.
He didn't expect it to be such a sensation!
However, for Jingyue, the support and help provided are also very great.
Big, even a little... outrageous.
The Magic City even created a [Whale Leap Project Exclusive Connection Channel] for them.
Regardless of the various factories and personnel, they have given great support.
On the other side,
Over one hundred thousand registration applications flooded into Jingyue's developer backend platform overnight.
With the release of Whale Fall,
Whale Leap has reached a historical turning point!
