Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 74: Fantasy Becomes Reality

Wen Hezhi also noticed these comments.

But he wasn’t surprised.

Actually, when he first learned that the product this time was a Space Elevator, he also felt it wasn’t shocking enough.

He had once been acquainted with the related concepts. The Western Alliance even had a dedicated team researching this project, and the current idea was to connect a space station with the ground using extremely thin but very strong nano-grade materials to transmit substances.

But when Wen Hezhi roughly understood what Shen Shi meant by "Space Elevator," the original concept in his mind was completely torn apart in an instant.

He was way too naive!

How could the Space Elevator of alien civilizations be so simple!

So, when he looked at these dissenting comments, not only was he not anxious, he wasn’t surprised either, just a bit sympathetic.

These people will soon experience what he just felt.

"Many of the audience friends may not understand the significance of the Space Elevator."

Wen Hezhi spoke again, the excitement still present on his face:

"Actually, you can tell from the name that it refers to an elevator from the ground to space. Since ancient times, humans have been filled with fantasies about the sky above, and ancient Eastern Country also had the saying ’Heaven’s ladder’ and, similarly, the Bible had the Babel Tower to heaven—the Space Elevator is a pathway connecting ground and heaven. It allows humans not only to travel to space by flight but to have a more convenient, faster, and direct route! It closely connects our Blue Star with the vast and boundless Star Sea as an inseparable whole, rather than as two separate worlds!"

This speech, without a doubt, had a very strong rendering effect.

Even the dissenting voices seemed to have decreased quite a bit.

Shen Shi nodded secretly.

Wen Hezhi’s ability is still very excellent.

However, even though those dissenting voices were reduced a lot, they didn’t completely disappear. Some among them were not genuinely hostile to Star Sea; they merely believed that with the current dominant level of internet technology demonstrated by Star Sea Company, they should be developing internet products that directly help and impact their lives.

Instead of something like a Space Elevator.

Soon, someone wrote: "No matter how advanced your technology is, the situation you are talking about cannot happen right now because an indispensable part of a Space Elevator is a space station. Given the current development level of space stations, even if you can send people via a Space Elevator to space, it doesn’t have much significance—as a tourist industry, the space station can accommodate too few people."

Clearly, the person who wrote this had a certain understanding of the Space Elevator, at least paid some attention to it.

He was actually stating a fact.

The Space Elevator connects the ground on one end and the space station on the other.

So, in a situation where there are only two space stations worldwide, each only capable of accommodating about a dozen people, building a Space Elevator doesn’t have much practical significance. Even if it could indeed send people for space travel, it could only send a tiny portion of people, and for those "wealthy" individuals, what difference does it make using a Space Elevator versus a rocket?

Wen Hezhi also saw this argument.

Not only did he see it, but the whole world did as well.

Because after this argument appeared, a large number of copies emerged directly, and many people voluntarily copied and sent this argument.

However, Wen Hezhi merely smiled mysteriously.

"Who said an indispensable part of a Space Elevator is a space station?" He even laughed out loud, "It seems everyone still underestimates Star Sea Company and underestimates our boss even after showing such strong internet technology. I can only say our Space Elevator exceeds your imagination!"

Once the words were spoken, the camera slowly moved directly to the warehouse.

Yes, the setup was already enough.

Some even spontaneously stepped forward to assume the role of "questioning."

So there was no need to waste more time.

A medium-sized truck slowly drove out from the warehouse, and the camera, along with everyone’s vision, focused entirely on the back of this truck.

It was a cylindrical object, seemingly about one meter in diameter and three meters high, entirely black, with many intricate patterns printed on its surface.

Is this the Space Elevator?

Many people looked with expressions as if saying "Are you kidding me?"

The Space Station they imagined should be a fairly sizable ground base, needing deep foundations to be firmly fixed, then hanging a string or strings of tough ropes from the Space Station to connect the remaining ground bases!

Maybe there are other Space Elevators in sci-fi works.

But no matter which kind, nothing seemed to relate to this cylindrical shape.

"Can this be a Ruyi Golden Cudgel, shout ’grow bigger,’ and jump straight to the sky?" Some Eastern Country People couldn’t help but message to ridicule.

Even from other countries, there was a chorus of "What?", "Huh?", "What’s this thing?" and similar reactions.

However, when the truck reached the middle position, the torrent of information suddenly stopped!

The reason was simple, because almost everyone stood frozen on the spot!

In the lens, in their vision, that cylinder, without any traction, actually began to float up slowly!

Yes, it just floated up from behind the truck!

After this brief silence, the channel exploded!

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Clearly, these are Eastern Country netizens.

"God! My God!"

Clearly, these are foreign netizens!

Besides, there were many other voices.

"I exploded!"

"Is this a magic show?"

"I was wrong. I really underestimated Star Sea Company!"

"Mom, come quickly, look at the aliens!"

"This really isn’t special effects? Let me see the driver’s expression! No, let me see everyone’s reactions at the scene!"

"Guys, I’m already running to find my luxury yacht. Please give me an address, I want to see it in person!"

"Then what’s the truck for!"

"Definitely Future People! If this isn’t Future People, I’ll live stream doing a handstand and eat something disgusting!"

"..."

Although Star Sea’s previous performance was mysterious and strong enough, even so mysterious that the total guesses like "Future People," "Aliens," "Otherworldly People," "Data People" started to become fantastical.

But what was shown before was, after all, just internet technology!

Whereas what’s before us is different!

If this isn’t crafted special effects, it isn’t a grand magic trick, then the thing in front of us, this cylinder that suddenly seems to lose gravity and floats steadily is, without a doubt, turning those fantasies into reality!
