Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 73: Using This as the Beginning of Everything
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Using This as the Beginning of Everything
Wen Hezhi’s opening remarks caused a sensation among almost all the audience.
Eastern Country’s audience was astonished that Wen Hezhi had given up the Wen Group, a company he had built from scratch and was thriving, to join another company as a subordinate.
Meanwhile, audiences from other countries were shocked by the terrifying simultaneous translation.
Indeed, as Wen Hezhi spoke, they clearly heard an even clearer voice narrating simultaneously in their national language.
Even the tone and pitch sounded exactly like the Eastern Country Language spoken by Wen Hezhi!
The context had no issues whatsoever.
It was like he was speaking in two different languages simultaneously!
What kind of miraculous black technology is this!
"Oh my God, Blue Star is really going to become Blue Star Village!"
"I bet this company is selling translation software!"
"I want it, so I can travel the world alone without worrying about language issues!"
"So amazing! Is this really a live broadcast and not pre-recorded?"
"...."
Compared to the previously demonstrated text translation, this powerful simultaneous translation technology was undoubtedly more magical, because it truly meant that people using any language could communicate face-to-face without any barriers or translation aid!
It could certainly change the world to some extent!
But clearly, those awed by it didn’t realize that this was merely a trivial detail, at least one that Star Sea didn’t care about.
Wen Hezhi simply glossed over these words, not intending to discuss translation at all.
"I suppose everyone is very eager to know who my boss is, where he’s come from, and why he has such powerful technology." Wen Hezhi slowly paced on the yellow mud ground and suddenly stopped, shaking his head, "Unfortunately, these are still secrets for now. You can speculate to your heart’s content but don’t bother asking because I don’t have the courage to offend my boss."
The final sentence was not spoken in a joking tone.
It was extremely serious.
Serious enough for everyone to perceive the gravity of the topic.
After a brief silence, a flood of information surged instantly!
People had come for the secret, and Wen Hezhi’s reaction added another layer of mystery to it!
They were even more curious about who that person was and where he had returned from!
Even Shen Shi couldn’t help but praise it.
This performance not only strictly adhered to Shen Shi’s instructions to keep his identity hidden but also heightened the mystery Shen Shi had been intentionally creating.
It greatly stirred the audience’s emotions.
"Alright, let’s quickly move on to today’s topic." Wen Hezhi’s smile reappeared on his face, completely ignoring all inquiries, "I believe everyone is very curious about what such a grand event is for? To be honest, two hours ago, when I was suddenly notified to host this press conference, I was just as curious as everyone else."
He began pacing again, showing an excited expression, his brand-new shoes getting dirty with the yellow mud on the ground, yet he didn’t mind at all.
He then raised his hand and swung it forcefully.
"Until an hour ago, I finally learned what was going to be released today, and I am certain that in my life, no moment has been as exciting as that! I can feel a magnificent era, a great era, running towards me quickly!"
Anyone slightly familiar with speech culture could understand that the techniques Wen Hezhi used were simply to enhance the speech’s emotional impact.
Conveying emotions to the audience through facial expressions, tone, and body language.
But so what?
Faced with this incredibly magical company, no one could not be excited!
Worldwide audiences from every nation were sending messages with astonishing consistency.
"Tell us quickly!"
"What is it!"
"Enough teasing or I’ll kill you!"
"Tell us what it is quickly!"
"..."
The channel bar was already full of prompt messages!
Wen Hezhi naturally saw them.
"Does everyone still remember our company’s name? Remember opening the company’s website and seeing that deep and enchanting Star Sea?" Wen Hezhi spoke in a slow tone, as if he was about to tell a story from ancient times.
Then, as the quantity of refreshed information surged, he suddenly accelerated his tone.
"Alright, I’m done teasing, everyone, the product Star Sea Company is releasing today is——the Space Elevator!"
Yes, the Space Elevator!
This term, which has long appeared in human civilization, is known by those familiar with cutting-edge space technology or related science fiction works.
Even if someone didn’t know, just by looking at the name, they might guess.
It’s a device that can continuously transport people or goods directly into space.
Currently, in human civilization, it’s still just at the conceptual stage.
But once completed, it would mean that the cost for humans to enter space would reduce to an extremely low level!
Thus, it is considered the first step towards massive construction of space stations, space factories, and even Space Cities!
Naturally, it’s also the first step towards quickly building Planet Fortresses!
So, upon discovering Gong Chu delivering a batch of Space Elevators, he decided to use this as the beginning of everything, not only to start changing human fate but also to let his company stand before the world!
However——
After Wen Hezhi revealed the product’s name in an unexpected manner, dissonant voices began to appear in the messages sent by the audience.
"What the heck is a Space Elevator?"
"Is this it?"
"I don’t understand, with such strong internet technology, why not develop internet products?"
"Why not create an all-purpose simultaneous translator, I would definitely buy!"
"A Space Elevator sounds grandiose, but what does it have to do with ordinary people like us?"
"Exactly, what’s the use of promoting a Space Elevator with such a big fanfare?"
"Boring, let’s disperse."
"..."
While these voices weren’t mainstream, most of the audience were still excitedly anticipating, even educating others about the Space Elevator’s significance for space development.
However, even in a situation reduced by ten thousand times, the appearance of such voices meant that quite a few people weren’t particularly satisfied.
For most people, space still feels too distant.
In their perception, no matter how advanced space technology is, it merely represents an expectation for a distant future and cannot bring actual impact on this world or their daily lives.
But clearly, these people hadn’t realized what kind of existence the "Space Elevator" mentioned by Wen Hezhi truly is!
