Chapter 651: Shocking Press Conference
She still held a press conference with the image of the hardworking Red Queen.
As the reporters put on VR helmets one by one and connected to the filming equipment, they were immediately connected to the press conference site based on the newly emerged temporary application.
John Jr. is a CNN reporter. After entering the venue through the VR platform, he was also somewhat surprised by the real scene.
"It seems to have become even more real, as if it is a completely real world, collected using real-life backgrounds."
And then, some figures appeared and flashed beside him one after another.
When I turned around, I saw a colleague from Reuters, and I could recognize his appearance at first glance!
It seemed that the image of the head was completely captured and perfectly fitted onto a matching body.
"Wow, Henry-senpai, I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances."
Henry turned around and saw him, and was also stunned, then said with emotion
"Umbrella's technology is truly amazing. I'm sure we'll be able to produce completely realistic images in the future."
"Yeah, I don't know what they are holding this meeting for."
"I'm a little curious too. If it was just the Starry Sky Cup, they wouldn't have held a special press conference based on their personalities. There should be some follow-up rules for Penglai, such as the plan to bring in a million people, and visa-related rules."
"Yeah, that's right. Penglai's rules are indeed enough to hold a separate press conference. Maybe the settlement, visa, and business rules will be explained. Penglai, I also want the right to settle."
"Nonsense, who wouldn't want it? If I could get it, my whole family would move there immediately, and from now on, I can scold anyone Umbrella tells me to scold."
John was speechless after hearing his colleague speak so bluntly.
But it's true, why doesn't Umbrella gather some media talents and write some essays by themselves?
Just as they were discussing in a low voice, the image of Red Queen appeared in front of them.
Presented directly in VR, it is extremely realistic, as if there is a real living person in front of you.
You can see the details on the face and a few freckles.
"Welcome everyone to our press conference. I'm just an artificial intelligence. I don't know how to be polite. Let's get straight to the point."
Red Queen gave a simple opening and then went straight to the point.
As she raised her hand, the scene around everyone changed drastically and they appeared directly at the Penglai airport!
Because there were reporters accompanying them, as well as the live broadcasts of Xiao Gou and Fei Ke, combined with what Ma Dong had done before, many details of Penglai were actually dug out.
But compared to the current scene of entering Penglai directly, many reporters couldn't help but take pictures of the surroundings.
"First of all, everyone is concerned about the number of people who can settle in Penglai, the number of shops that can be opened, and the corresponding tourist visas..."
Red Queen went straight to the point without any gimmicks, directly satisfying the reporters' biggest demands.
There are one million places available, and some relocation may be involved, so it will certainly not be achieved overnight, but will be determined over time.
The quota itself is mainly determined through the "interview" of the VR platform.
It doesn’t matter if your family cannot afford a VR platform. As long as you find an opportunity to go online and fill out the Q&A form, you can go to Umbrella’s offline experience store nearby to borrow equipment for Q&A.
The quota is determined based on local conditions and will vary according to different people's personalities.
It is very likely that two people happened to ask the same question and get exactly the same answer, but the results were completely different.
So don’t try to find loopholes by using the standard answer routine.
It is useless to pass various training courses. Even if you could have passed the exam, your mindset will be changed after taking the training courses and you will no longer be able to pass the exam.
"You all have to trust my computing power and big data. This kind of targeted training is meaningless to me. No matter how many times humans train, it is not as good as my computing power of a few seconds."
After finishing the screening for settlement rights, Queen Hong began to arrange some shops in Penglai commercial district.
There are a series of rigid requirements for stores selling various commodities, with restrictions in terms of brand, service, price, reputation and so on. Moreover, it does not mean that only big brands and luxury goods can enter. There will be relatively comprehensive entry terms.
If the duty-free shop is successfully opened, corresponding work qualifications will be issued to employees.
"The work qualification itself is bound, and there is no need to consider loopholes such as selling work visa quotas. Once it is confirmed that the person is not a working employee, the visa quota will be directly cancelled, the business point will be removed, and both parties who buy and sell the quota will be blacklisted from now on."
This is a very severe punishment measure. It may be difficult to completely eliminate it, but it can definitely be effectively restricted.
In fact, it does not mean that there are no loopholes. The person with a work visa can work here for a period of time and then leave.
Next is the rule for issuing visas. As many people have speculated before, Umbrella mainly uses the dual methods of "quick hand" and "random" to bind the confirmation to individuals.
Apart from the places that can be traded in the previous group stage, it doesn’t mean that you can come here just because you have money!
Before "quick hands" and "randomness", there are also some routine requirements such as criminal records and financial disputes, and purchasing power is also subject to certain restrictions.
Public order maintenance and emergency treatment will be automatically performed by robots, and various important regulations have been published.
Almost immediately following Umbrella's announcement, the number of places in the group stage suddenly increased.
Soon someone bid higher than the price that Fit had paid!
However, no one is selling it anymore!
This is because most of the players who were able to enter the group stage are wealthy enough to hire their own teams, and many of them are superstars, so their conditions will not be bad.
For such people, physical health naturally comes first!
It is precisely because there are so few places in circulation that things are valuable because they are rare.
It is quite normal to be able to sell at such a sky-high price .
The price of goods is always determined by supply and demand!
However, just when the reporters thought that the matter had ended, the Red Queen continued
"After talking about the situation of Penglai, let's talk about our space launch plans..."
As Red Queen finished speaking, a huge concept map instantly appeared behind her.
Because of the simultaneous live broadcast by the official website and reporters, this concept map also fell on the eyes of all the netizens who were paying attention.
After seeing it clearly, many players in the Starry Sky World widened their eyes.
"What the hell! What is this?"
"Space Elevator!"
"No way! Are you playing such a big game?"
"It has to be Umbrella..."
"Where are the group of people who were bragging about starships before?"
"But it's not as grand as in the game. Why does it feel like it's connected by a 'wire'?"
"You know it's just a game, this is reality!"
“…”
As everyone was shocked, Red Queen slowly began to introduce herself.
"Due to the limitations of the mass projector itself, our company does have shortcomings in terms of in-depth space exploration . The structure of this space elevator is designed to transport ground equipment into space for assembly at a lower cost, and then perform subsequent acceleration and launch in a synchronous orbit..."
In fact, the principle of the space elevator itself is very simple. It is just a large "synchronous satellite", and there are connecting wires hanging from this large "synchronous satellite" to connect to the ground.
As long as we ensure that after the connecting line is lowered , the overall center of gravity is still on the synchronous track and fine-tuning is completed, construction is possible.
But theory is one thing, and reality is another!
The first is the strength of the 'steel wire', which far exceeds the limit of normal materials!
Well, even if Umbrella is an expert in materials science, when the research on room-temperature superconducting pressure appeared in the past, you also came up with a reinforced fiber that could meet the requirements.
However, transporting goods after the elevator is connected will also cause a change in the center of gravity, which will definitely cause problems in the long run.
Therefore, we must first ensure that the mass of the space elevator itself is large enough so that its center of gravity does not change easily.
Secondly, the space elevator itself must have sufficient "self-regulation" capabilities and make timely adjustments when the center of gravity changes.
So the principle seems simple, but there are so many problems that need to be solved.
The launch quality alone is enough to give people a headache.
But then everyone discovered that in terms of launch mass, Umbrella had an ultra-low-cost mass projector.
It itself has high-strength material.
Wow, plus the Penglai City on the equator as the base.
This Temo seems to be complete!
"Oh my goodness, Penglai was placed on the equator before, so it was for the present?"
"Fuck, it turns out this was all planned long ago!"
"Space Elevator..."
"To guard against aliens, eh? But will we be able to make it in time..."
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Red Queen also announced the name of the plan.
"…This space plan is the 'Space Elevator Project'."
