Chapter 2999
Not to mention those who gradually realized that something was wrong on the train to hell, the news in May suddenly had some content that people had never seen before, and some new terms were quickly occupying the top of public opinion.
"Network", "public forum", "personal terminal", "seamless global connection", these words are quickly becoming hot topics of discussion around the world.
Especially Lynch himself, as the host of a "cross-era press conference", when he released new products and a new era to the world, the world, which had been warming up for more than a week, finally ushered in a new "evolution".
Lynch was wearing very casual and not serious clothes and stood on a huge stage. Behind him, there was a huge screen.
He was debugging with several scientists, and there were still five minutes before the live broadcast started.
When some of the debugging on the scene was almost done, a countdown appeared on the big screen, and the scientists around Lynch also left one after another, leaving the stage to him.
The ratings quickly rose to nearly 80% in a short period of time, and it was still rising.
The various warm-ups before this press conference did bring it huge attention. Of course, Lynch's personal performance was also one of the reasons for the attention.
When the countdown reached zero, Lynch turned on the microphone.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
"I am glad that you can watch this great conference. From an objective material point of view, we are going to release a product and various services that come with it."
"But in fact, what we are going to release is the origin of a new era."
"It is the personal terminal."
Many speculations about the personal terminal immediately appeared on the large screen on the back, many of which were secondary creations based on the prototype of the personal terminal in previous years - the global boy.
This thing is mentioned in some science fiction films and literary works, especially in "Super Heroes", it has become one of the standard equipment of almost every hero.
As the voices of the atmosphere group on the scene became louder and louder, Lynch smiled and pointed to the camera, "Yes, it's here!"
The explosion of fireworks special effects, the big screen ate the screen piece by piece from the outside to the innermost like a greedy snake, and then the next second something like an arm guard appeared on the big screen.
"We have obtained a large number of rare elements from the moon, which have helped us solve some technological and material problems."
"And there is a project that we have not announced to the public so far, and it has also made good progress."
"Our first exploration rocket has approached the Tsui Star and will try to land on the Tsui Star around July to explore the Tsui Star."
"If nothing goes wrong, we will consider migrating to the Tsui Star."
"There are important elements on the alien planet that are lacking or not available on the earth. These elements have a huge driving force for the development of human science and technology."
"Driven by these technological developments, the Global Boy has the technical foundation for mass production."
A columnar display stand on the stage suddenly rose from the ground, right next to Lynch.
The upper part of it was covered by a glass cover, and inside it was a brand new Global Boy, quietly placed on a red velvet pad.
Lynch opened the glass cover and put it on his hand.
"This is the first generation of civilian Global Boy, which includes almost all the functions of the current terminal, such as account transactions..."
A staff member walked onto the stage and stood next to Lynch. He was also wearing a Global Boy.
"We just need to confirm the account for the transaction..." The big screen showed the process of Lin Qi's operation. He first searched for the operable objects around him through the operation.
Then he quickly searched for an object. After clicking OK, the words "Transaction request" appeared on the other party's Global Boy screen.
After the staff clicked to accept, they entered the transaction interface.
"We can see the other party's public information, his photo, his citizen number, his account number, and some of my own information."
"Now I want to give him 100 yuan, so I fill in 100 here and press lock."
"It has an anti-mistouch operation lock. After this red light flashes for ten seconds, the lock will become a confirmation transaction. I will click again..."
The screen instantly showed a successful transaction screen, and the staff's wrist showed a prompt of "Account transfer 100".
"That's it!"
The atmosphere group showed enough appeal. The audience didn't really care because they didn't have so much money to transfer, but what they didn't know was that this kind of thing would change soon.
Because of the Green Star Immigration.
Global Boy is not only a preparation to make everyone willing to accept the implantation of brain terminals, but also a service for the Green Star Immigration.
It takes nearly three years to go from Earth to Green Star and back, so once you go to Green Star, it is unlikely that you will travel back and forth frequently.
And it will definitely take a lot of time to build a complete infrastructure in a desert like Green Star, so you have to make some choices.
The communication network will most likely not be built repeatedly, and satellite communication will be used directly, so it will become more important for everyone to have a terminal, because it can do more than just transfer money.
"In addition, it can also be used as a communication terminal..."
Lin Qi switched to the communication mode and dialed a number, and then the personal terminal of the staff beside him rang.
After the call was connected, you can even choose whether to turn on the camera to enter the video communication, so that you can see the other party directly, or see everything the other party wants you to see!
This function is much more attractive than the transfer function, and the audience's interest has also become higher.
In addition, it also has a positioning function. As long as it is not underground, you can easily locate your position.
This is also a preparation for the development of Cuixing. After all, it is easy to get lost in an unfamiliar environment. With this positioning function, they are less likely to lose their way.
Many great functions are concentrated on personal terminals. It may be amazing enough, but for the public, most people may not buy it.
Because... what it can do, the terminal can also do, and the terminal is free. There are many in every block. You just need to queue up and swipe the card.
Why spend money on something unnecessary?
But some of the following services really attracted people to it.
"Internet!"
"In the past, the Internet, as a special communication channel, was not open to ordinary people."
"It requires microcomputers, and the price of microcomputers makes it difficult to popularize it in the lives of ordinary people."
"But with the emergence of Global Kids, these problems will be solved, and the Internet will be close to our lives."
"If you ask me what the Internet is, I can only tell you that it is a world that exists between electronic signals. It has everything a complete world should have!"
"Libraries, entertainment venues, communication venues, and even you can have your own home on the Internet."
"You can read books you like but can't buy on the Internet."
"You can also watch movies that have been played before, but you want to watch but can't see them."
"You can chat with strangers in some public forum communities without having to consider who the other person is, and you won't expose yourself."
"This is the second world of life, making communication unimpeded!"
With Lynch's operation, the "Global Forum" was opened, and there were already some posts in it.
Although the content of these posts is stupid, such as "Is anyone here? Am I the first?" and the like, these things make people feel surprised!
Lynch demonstrated the "conference" function. He randomly pulled a few actors from his friends and clicked to start the meeting.
Then many people appeared on the big screen, and they were all having video conferences through Global Boy.
In addition, Lynch also demonstrated the game function.
Of course, this function needs to be connected to the TV screen to get a better gaming experience.
Everything is attracting people. It may not be very attractive at the beginning, but as more and more things are added, the attraction will become greater and greater.
When Lynch announced its price, the attraction became even greater!
"For only 4,999, you can have an almost universal personal terminal that can seamlessly chat with people all over the world."
"You can browse a large number of books, movies, and watch a TV series in one go."
"You can do a lot!"
"In addition, we will also open the platform interface to third parties. You can publish the games you make here and let others play for free or for a fee."
"You can also publish the work tools you make here and let people use them for free or for a fee."
"It is a brand new world, a world full of opportunities."
"At the same time, we will give citizens above level 10 a personal terminal for free..."
Then a rolling number appeared on the big screen, and there was also a description - the number of global orders!
The constantly rolling numbers seemed to fill everyone's heart with enthusiasm and heat!
Some people who couldn't even afford it had the urge to take out a loan to buy one!
It can do so many things!
In less than two minutes, the number exceeded one million, and it finally stopped at one million.
Lynch looked back at the big screen and explained with a smile, "I didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so high, so when I was designing it, I didn't consider that it would exceed one million units in such a short time."
"I have to say, you are smart people, because you will find that you will not be able to live without it, and everyone will not be able to live without it!"
