Chapter 446 Whale Fall Release
On the evening of December 30th, just as the sky in Shanghai was getting dark,
The New Year's Eve atmosphere has not yet begun, but the attention of the entire Magic City is firmly attracted to another place.
Jingyue’s new factory in the suburbs has become the focus tonight.
Originally a complex combining production and R&D for the whale watching business, the factory has a modern look and clean lines.
Now in the night, the lights are shining brightly, and in the night, the lights directly turn it into a silver whale back.
Outside the venue, security personnel were stationed on both sides, and the lights were bright.
At the factory gate, rows of buses, online taxis, and luxury cars are parked on the roadside, with a variety of license plates.
Media outlets lined up at the door holding their equipment, with tripods, cameras, and flashlights everywhere.
Various bosses, investors, and industry leaders also appeared one after another.
There are more anchors from various technology and gaming circles, many of whom broadcast live directly.
While walking, he explained the "inside information" he had just heard from others.
The number of people gathered at the scene was simply countless.
"Wow, this is even bigger than a car show!"
"This Jingyue factory is great! You can tell they put a lot of thought into it!"
"Nonsense, this is their territory! Not only is there space, but they can also show off their strength. Do you understand the concept of appearance?"
“…”
There was a constant stream of discussion, and curiosity and anticipation were evident in everyone's eyes.
Qi Wei, the representative of Tencent, is at the forefront, surrounded by his peers in these industries.
He looked around and immediately saw many familiar faces of his colleagues.
These people are not only from the gaming industry, but also from the technology industry, and their composition is very diverse.
This time, it’s really lively!
The reporters nearby were also discussing in low voices:
"The Whale Leap wave is too fierce. The mystery alone is enough to whet the appetite."
"I think there must be some big move today, otherwise they wouldn't dare to get stuck at the end of the year."
“It’s a bit like going to a movie premiere… but it’s still a gaming company.”
"The information they gave me is too little! I'm going to ask some serious questions later!"
The anchors on one side had already set up their equipment and greeted the camera:
"Brothers, today we are live streaming, come with me to witness Jingyue's New Year's Eve event!"
"Get ready for the barrage, let's guess what's going to happen tonight!"
"What do you think? Will there be a fireworks show at Whale Leap later?"
"Everyone, please continue to pay attention!"
Many viewers directly flooded the screen:
"Starship II!"
"Fully simulated peripherals!"
"Are you going to put on a fireworks show? No!"
"I'll bet a bag of spicy noodles that this time it's hardware!"
"Hardware, what the hell? With so many media outlets here, it must be a crossover."
Amid the hustle and bustle, time slowly approached 7 p.m.
Everyone has arrived at the venue and taken their seats.
In the front row, Zhao Chongshan was holding onto a chair and sitting down, his face flushed.
This time, although he was just a spectator,
But he knew very well what Jingyue would serve later!
At this moment, he could hardly suppress his emotions. This feeling, which no one else knew but he knew, was too hard to hold back!
"Finally..."
He muttered to himself with an irrepressible smile on his face.
You know, all of this was originally just a concept, but now it has become a reality.
He looked at the big screen on the stage, and the lights gradually came on.
【Come in and experience it.】
These four words are extremely concise, yet more powerful than any advertising slogan.
Zhao Chongshan took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
This time, Whale Leap is sure to amaze the audience.
…
19:00 sharp.
Accompanied by a low and powerful countdown, all the lights on the scene dimmed instantly.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Some people in the crowd subconsciously followed suit and shouted, while more people held their breath, so nervous that they could even hear their heartbeats.
boom!
The huge screen in the center of the stage suddenly lit up, and a beam of light broke through the darkness, like tearing open a crack in the night sky.
"Good evening, everyone."
“Welcome to the Whale Leap Whale Watching Lab new product launch.”
A voice sounded,
The audience burst into applause.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yao Wenqing walked to the front of the stage.
He was wearing a minimalist black suit, his shirt buttoned straight, and holding only a wireless controller in his hand.
There is no host.
No pretentious opening remarks.
No noisy promos.
There was only him and a screen more than ten meters high behind him.
He stopped.
The light was fixed on him.
Then he raised his head and smiled softly.
"Thank you all for taking the time to be here tonight."
“The story of Whale Leap begins with games.”
"But tonight, we're talking about more than just games."
This sentence.
Thousands of people in the audience were all looking forward to it.
The camera slowly pulls away.
The huge screen slowly lit up.
There are no fancy special effects on the screen.
It's a pair of hands.
A researcher's hand was carefully brushing off the silver protective film on the cabin.
Streamlined "cabin".
All silver shell,
There is no seam on the surface.
It's like a whole piece of metal that has been polished into a streamlined whale shape.
When the light passes by, it reflects a soft cold light.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
"What...what is this?"
"Equipment? Cabin? No way... could it really be..."
"Don't be kidding!"
Some people were so excited that they stood up and almost dropped their cameras.
Big words instantly appeared on the surrounding screens:
【Whale Falls·Virtual Game Cabin】
The whole place was silent for three seconds, and then exploded.
"Virtual gaming cabin???"
“What a joke!!!”
“What the hell! What the hell!!!!”
“This is impossible!!!”
"Holy crap, is this technology 50 years ahead of its time?!"
"Holy crap, is consciousness uploading really a success?"
"Whale Leap, you're going to fly to the sky!"
"Old Yao must have been invaded by the Trisolarans!"
"The Starship is just an appetizer???"
"Can this thing really be sold to ordinary people?"
The media reporters in the audience took photos one after another.
In an instant, countless shutter sounds, exclamations, and whispers merged into one.
The lights flicker like a sea.
Just the opening made everyone excited!
In the audience, almost everyone subconsciously leaned forward, opened their mouths, and gasped.
After seeing these words appear, Tengqu representative Qi Wei was stunned on the spot, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he muttered:
"...Really? Seriously?"
“This should be a concept-level product!”
"Or is this just a warm-up before the release?"
He quickly sent a message to Mr. Ma.
"Mr. Ma, look! Whale Leap press conference!"
The XR industry executive sitting next to him suddenly turned pale and said:
"We were still patching the motion parallax issue last year... They went straight up into the pod?"
"How on earth did they do it?"
"You can't be so ahead!"
"It must be a cover!"
A representative from a research university in the back row started discussing with the people around him.
"What kind of school is this from? Our school doesn't do this!"
"There's no way Jingyue is completely independently developed. I haven't heard of any breakthroughs from any domestic university!"
"This is a concept! It's probably sold to attract investment!"
At this moment, almost everyone was in doubt.
This is normal, the lead is too fast,
You should be questioned!
On the stage, the lights are as calm and sharp as ocean waves.
Yao Wenqing stood in the center of the light.
It was as if he had anticipated this shock.
He spoke slowly:
"Everyone!"
"Today, we're introducing the Whale Falls virtual gaming cabin!"
"Whale fall is the result of our much time and effort."
“It’s not a headset, it’s not a simulator.”
“It’s a complete virtual interaction pod.”
"Its core is the human-machine resonance neural feedback system."
“This is how we redefine immersion.”
"Inside it, there's no screen, no VR headset, no controller."
“It doesn’t require you to operate it.”
"It needs you—in."
