Chapter 536: Subverting the understanding of mobile phone technology.
In the live broadcast room, the five million viewers fell silent, couldn’t imagine or explain how it worked by scientific means? How did this machine tool’s main shaft coming out of the air work?
Finally, when the original iron-stone was carefully cut into a hexagonal polyhedron, and after long hiding, Monster Heavy Industry’s latest mobile phone product finally met everyone.
In the air, the phone was spinning slowly. Its silvery gray metal body and slightly angled top and bottom edges and corners made this phone full of agility.
When the mobile phone was turned in the direction of guests and in the direction of the camera ahead, countless people were again stunned. On the front of the phone, there was a pure black screen that is smooth and mirror-like. This screen is so large that it occupies the entire front of the fuselage. They could not see the home b.u.t.ton like on traditional mobile phones, not to mention the presence of cameras, proximity sensors, and microphones, it was completely not bordered.
“It is impossible. There is no mobile phone with a structure without borders.” Madison exclaimed in his heart. He is the president of Apple’s China branch, and he knows more about mobile phone technology than his wife.
It’s not that Apple never tried to develop a without borders mobile phone, but after actually making a physical product as a prototype, when it was slightly b.u.mped, the edge of the phone’s screen sagged broken due to lack of protection, and without the support frame. There was no support to put the camera and b.u.t.tons. How is it possible that it is replaced by new technology, which is terrible to use, various functions of which would not work and keystrokes will be wrong?
As the phone in the air turned to the rear, many viewers who had seen the partial photo posted by the official micro-blog immediately tilted their heads forward, trying to see where the camera was more clearly. The camera was still invisible on the back of the phone. There was only a pair of horns blurred with complicated lines like circuits. Under the horns was a design that looked like a monster at first glance, but was actually made up of two artistic Chinese characters. Two black words are studded on the head of the monster simulated by metal figures.
Magic ~ Crystal?
Some people could barely decipher these two Chinese characters.
“I see. The camera is the monster’s eyes. Look closely.”
“I am convinced, no borders, hidden camera. This phone is so cool that it empties the seven streets of Apple phones. Take it out and walk down the street, don’t be too eye-catching.”
“Magic Crystal must be the name of this phone. It’s a strange name. I don’t know what’s special about this phone?”
“What kind of system is it? It looks really cool, but the system can’t be used well if it isn’t done right. “
“I’m the only one curious, how did the machine tool spindle and the cell phone get stolen?”
“As curious, is there anyone who knows how to popularize science?”
…………
The same questions were expressed more strongly by media reporters on the spot.
They stood up one by one, rushed to the edge of the stage, and slammed the mic loudly, asking questions like the rain of pearls. How did the machine tool spindle appear out of the air? What type is the cell phone and is the without border design really correct? Why is there no front camera?
There were nearly 100,000 whys under the stage, but strangely no one was disgusted by these reporters’ interruption of the press conference because those questions are also theirs.
“For your questions, you can find the answers in the following promotional video for the Magic Crystal mobile phone.”
“Did you notice the little gift bag next to the seat? Please wear the 3D gla.s.ses inside for a dream trip.” Bai Douer had taken two steps forward, gesturing invitingly.
Reporters who still asked questions quickly resumed their positions. The answer would be in the next 3D promo video, of course, they should watch it carefully.
The guests besieging in their places have already noticed the small gift bag. Now, one by one, they took out the gla.s.ses and put them on the bridge of their noses eagerly awaiting the scene.
It wasn’t just a press conference, and it was simply a visual feast. They watched the flames that appeared out of nowhere, as well as the spindles of the most shocking industrial machine tools, if this technology is used in a blockbuster…
“s.h.i.t ~ I don’t have 3D gla.s.ses.”
“This is unfair, what does that makes us think?”
“That’s enough. Knowing that there are more people watching the live broadcast, I always go for 3D video. Don’t despise us.”
In Tencent’s live video room, viewers who could not enjoy the 3D images expressed their outrage one by one.
Too bad their outrage had no effect, and the promotional film has already started. The fairy little hostess smiled and walked to the side of the stage.
The empty stage suddenly became a flawless white laboratory. The strong visual impact took all the guests off guard as if the backdrop had suddenly been removed, revealing the laboratory behind it, so the camera in charge of the live studio shooting also focused on the stage.
Of course, the images taken by the camera were processed and synthesized on stage with the common effect for a promotional video.
……
Because the 3D video will be very blurry if you watch it with the naked eye, and it can only be seen as a mosaic if it is shot by a camera, therefore, mobile phone service technicians have long prepared a common promotional video to simulate the effect of live broadcasting.
……
Of course ~ without the shocking 3D effect displayed by the dream monitor, the audience could not feel the feeling of the guests on-site.
However, after the camera was pointed at the stage for tens of seconds, it suddenly shifted. It seems the cameraman has discovered something more interesting: He pointed the camera at the guest seats, allowing millions of viewers to listen to only the explanations of the promo. This irresponsible behavior immediately angered the public, even more, ~ and much more. What is the situation?
Why did the two thousand guests at the scene seem more excited?
They wore dark gla.s.ses, as if they weren’t watching a propaganda movie, but stood out in the big world, looking up at the sky that had changed.
They didn’t know if this is the arrival of the aliens or the decisive battle between G.o.ds and demons in the sky. Millions of onlookers were inexplicably looking at the two thousand people present who continued to cover their mouths and exclaim, or stretch out their arms and wave savagely, even if they accidentally hit the guests next to them, no one could know whether it is.
The camera was pointed towards the stage again, but the audience didn’t seem to notice anything special.
After tens of seconds, the camera moved again and focused on the front row, it had zoomed in on a stranger in a suit and leather shoes.
The audience watching the live broadcast almost laughed, the stranger’s expression was too exaggerated. The mouth was open larger than that of a hippopotamus, and the veins in its forehead are violent. It seems he saw his wife and a plumber doing something that cannot be described.
“My G.o.d, do you know who this stranger is?”
“Who?”
“Madison, the chairman of Apple’s China subsidiary, he can be ranked among Apple’s top five executives.”
“Well, he didn’t need to be so exaggerated this is just a 3D video. I watched Avatar at the Max Universal Cinema in Yanjing, and I hadn’t made such an exaggerated expression.”
“I just listened to the introduction. The narrator said that the image we see now with the standard VR gla.s.ses is the image of the Magic Crystal phone.”
The comments were inflated.
If it was said that the two thousand spectators here present at the conference were enjoying the video and they were looking at the “Magic Crystal” phone after installing the VR gla.s.ses, this…
How shocking is the surprise effect that surprised a business executive, a local bully, as well as Apple executive Mr. Madison sitting in the guest row?
Obviously, the spindles of industrial machine tools appearing in the vacuum before did not involve harm.
No one could answer this question, but the public realized that the “Magic Crystal” phone is absolutely extraordinary. This extraordinary must be beyond eye-catching borderless design technology.
The promotional video lasted ten minutes in total. Those ten minutes, at least four minutes of footage remained on the body of Apple executive Mr. Madison, and other media flashed wildly, taking enough snapshots of Madison’s performance.
At the end of the promotional film, something unexpected happened to those millions of viewers in the live streaming room. The two thousand guests present rose to their feet without cheers or applause, left their seats unnaturally, and ran to the back of the room, similar to the previous Monster Heavy Industry product launch. All guests who attended the launch can purchase a cell phone first.
Even Madison went there, he was in the front row, and of course, he was at the end of the line. Viewers saw his head sweaty, and he kept screaming in English.
“Swish ~”
As the audience watched as guests flocked to buy cell phones, suddenly a large red envelope floated across the screen.
“I’m counting on ~”
“Who took it? f.u.c.king his hand speed is five light-years per second.”
“What’s in the red envelope is a cell phone, oh my G.o.d why did I miss this.”
“Haha ~ I’m sorry, I took it.”
Countless people got ready to send the “nicest” greetings, and the result was another red envelope pa.s.sed across the screen.
…………
When all nineteen red envelopes were taken, the originally empty live broadcast room was suddenly occupied by a roadblock that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. Countless people were crying and frantically waving to the lucky nineteen.
At this time, on the conference site screen. Of the two thousand guests, at least nineteen chose to unpack on-site and take out the Magic Crystal cell phone.
When the camera scanned the guest seats, someone discovered that Apple’s frame, Madison, was missing.
After Madison s.n.a.t.c.hed a cell phone, desperately left the room.
“It’s over… It’s all over.”
He whispered those words the others had heard right and walked back to his car. He didn’t choose to unpack his phone right away. Instead, he pulled out his iPhone and called Chief Mr. Tim.
So in normal times, Madison would choose not to call him right now, because it’s still dark in the United States, but now he was going to bother Mr. Tim because it’s a vital matter, and better to disrupt his sleep.
The phone had rung nearly twenty times before it was connected, then Director Tim’s sleepy voice came.
“Boss, we… may be facing a huge crisis.”
“Madison, what are you talking about?”
“I attended the Monster Heavy Industry mobile phone conference. I had originally planned to laugh at the young president at the conference. However, my embarra.s.sing performance was filmed by hundreds of media outlets, and they turned to each other laughed at me fiercely.” Madison’s voice was abnormally lost.
“Tell me the story in detail, and what system are their mobile-phone products using, and what new technologies do they have?” Tim’s tired voice appeared, becoming very solemn.
“Revolutionary technology, revolutionary technology that neither you nor I can think of. I have already got a ma.s.s-produced cell phone. I will return to headquarters immediately and report back to you personally. As for the operating system…”
“They have developed a set of operating systems based on Linux code. They also purchased the Android 6.0 source code, which is compatible with Android programs. Software developers don’t need to write a set of corresponding apps separately as we do.
“But that’s not the point. The point is, they’ve turned our understanding of mobile-phone technology upside down.”
