Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 86 - 83: Attend a Meeting in Outer Space _2
Chapter 86: Chapter 83: Attend a Meeting in Outer Space _2
"Mr. Wen..."
"President Wen!"
"...."
Various voices grew louder amid the noise, and each reporter was extremely excited!
The audiences from all over the world were just as thrilled!
After all, this was a meeting in space! Even if humanity had already realized that it might soon enter the interstellar era, this was still the first time in the recorded history of human civilization!
Even those representatives of various forces were just as excited and nervous at this moment.
Many of them likely never imagined they would have a day when they could go to space.
Especially since they believed there was already a spaceship waiting for them above.
It wasn’t until Wen Hezhi raised his hand to press down that the various questioning voices gradually calmed.
"I know you all have many questions, but to be honest, I also have many questions, so I can only tell you what I know." He slowly said under everyone’s expectant gaze, "First, the boss does not wish to reveal his identity right now; he still hopes for a period of peaceful life, so the reporters probably cannot go up with us and can only wait for news below. Second, as far as I know, there is no spaceship. I, along with the representatives, will take the Space Elevator directly to space at an altitude of 500 kilometers..."
Before the second point was finished, the site became noisy once again.
No spaceship?
Not only were the reporters bewildered, but even the representatives of the forces were equally confused, if not horrified.
Just taking the Space Elevator to outer space? Wouldn’t they freeze or suffocate to death halfway there?
"Quiet! Please quiet down!"
Wen Hezhi raised his voice again, and this time it took some time for everyone on site to calm down.
Countless cameras had already focused on his face.
A large close-up appeared.
So audiences around the world could see Wen Hezhi’s helpless expression.
"Why don’t you all look up and see what’s in front of you!" he pointed to the straight line behind him reaching high into the sky, "What is this? Can you judge it by common sense from the past? Remember what I’m saying now; in the face of the Star Sea Company, forget your common sense, it’s just a meeting in space, this might just become part of your daily life not long from now!"
What a statement!
Many on the scene blushed in silence.
But they truly couldn’t refute it!
What Star Sea Company has brought is not just a reality that defies imagination but a series of realities that couldn’t even be conceived or accepted before!
Just imagine how many times the world was shocked within this short period today!
Even the audience all over the world was amused by Wen Hezhi’s helpless remarks.
"Yes, indeed, it’s just a meeting in space, what’s the big deal."
"Yes, there’s just no spaceship going to outer space."
"These reporters are funny, it’s just a bodily transit across the universe, small matter."
"I really hope for a day when I can regularly go to space."
"..."
Although it still seemed extraordinary, the reporters at the scene finally weren’t as agitated as they initially were.
Even those representatives became quiet one by one.
Though they felt that going to outer space by the Space Elevator would surely end with them as corpses drifting in space, they still chose to remain calm.
Because the people qualified to stand there, in fact, all knew of Shen Shi’s existence, origins, and even the alien invasion crisis three years later.
They understood more clearly that common sense had lost any effect on Shen Shi.
Sure enough—
After calming the reporters and simply answering a few manageable questions, Wen Hezhi turned to them.
"Everyone, come here to receive your Space Suits."
Space Suits?
The reporters instantly focused on Song Yao standing beside Wen Hezhi.
Because in her hand was a small leather case she had been holding all along.
As expected, Song Yao opened the small leather case at this moment and took out metal discs about seven or eight centimeters in diameter.
"One for each person," she said.
Was this the Space Suit?
Everyone focused on these seemingly simple metal plates, unable to compare such little gadgets with the thick, expensive Space Suits in their impression.
No matter how compressed, this thing couldn’t possibly turn into a full-body enveloping, radiation and cold-proofing Space Suit!
If it weren’t for Wen Hezhi’s earlier words, there would undoubtedly be many voicing their questions by now.
However, people at this moment only aimed their cameras at those small metal discs and Wen Hezhi and Song Yao, seemingly hoping for an explanation.
"This is a Nano Space Suit," Song Yao said, picking one up and holding it high before everyone’s eyes, "It contains countless nanoparticles, you just need to stick it to your skin like this and press slightly."
She adhered it to her arm, demonstrating the process.
All the photographers hurriedly captured close-ups.
Then, audiences worldwide saw clearly that in the instant it was applied... nothing happened.
Yes, nothing happened, not a hint of change was visible.
Let alone it unfolding instantly like a hero’s outfit in the movies.
After a while, someone couldn’t resist sending a message.
"???"
It was followed by a series of question marks.
Though aware they risked being mocked by Star Sea Company again, with a "Calm down, what’s strange about that," they couldn’t hold back.
However, some smart cameramen keenly noticed Song Yao’s expression; it was one of surprise, astonishment, even as she couldn’t help but reach up to touch her face, as if something were truly there.
"Miss Song, can I try it?" Curtis finally couldn’t hold himself back, stepping forward first. Although he maintained his elegance, he couldn’t conceal his curiosity.
"Of course," Song Yao immediately responded with a smile, "Everyone has one."
Curtis took a "Metal Plate," and, following Song Yao’s lead, adhered it to his arm with a slight press.
The next moment, his incredulous expression was broadcast worldwide.
Even before the media could ask, he couldn’t hold back and said:
"I feel something cold enveloping my entire body."
He raised his hand towards the dusk sky as if trying to see something. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
But he saw nothing.
Only felt a distinct barrier when touching his skin, like being enveloped by ultra-thin silk ice!
Wait—
Curtis suddenly realized, putting his hand on his nose and slightly open mouth, then everyone could see his astonishment.
"Breathing! I’m not breathing!" This time, he couldn’t maintain his elegance, his voice uncontrollably rising by several octaves.
Instantly, there was an uproar on site again.
No more breathing?
Indeed, even eleven or twelve-year-old kids know space lacks air, so a Space Suit should not only enclose but also supply oxygen, hence why that metal plate seemed even more incredible!
How could that thing appear capable of producing oxygen?
But who could have thought, it just directly stopped breathing?
Standing beside Curtis, Trish couldn’t help but wave her finger in front of her brother’s nose.
Even though Curtis opened his mouth, mimicking an exhale, she felt no airflow whatsoever!
"He’s really not breathing." Her expression was full of shock.
She even put her hand on Curtis’s chest, yet couldn’t feel any rise and fall at all!
This point was noticed worldwide due to her actions!
