    Chapter 68 Press Conference

    The plane flew smoothly through the clouds.

    Xu Wen sank into the soft seat, but his body seemed to be equipped with springs, unable to settle down.

    He first opened the small window and stared at the sea of ​​clouds and the blue sky outside the porthole for a while. Within two minutes, he couldn’t help turning his head and his eyes were glued to Lu Qingrang beside him.

    The furry head just turned to the left for a while, and suddenly turned to the right for a while, performing high-frequency pupae in the limited seating space.

    Lu Qingrang put down the magazine in his hand, which he had not read at all, and turned his head slightly.

    He didn’t ask anything, he just looked at Xu Wen quietly with his smiling eyes, his eyes were warm, and he steadily caught all the uncontrollable little movements of the people around him.

    Xu Wen met his gaze, smiled sheepishly, showed a row of white teeth, and explained: “It’s okay, I’m excited.”

    However, under his seemingly calm appearance, he was already furiously swiping at the system:

    【Look!have a look!This cloud!This day!】

    【I’m going to start!!】

    【Ready!I’m really ready!!】

    Xu Wen screamed silently in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the heart that was pounding with excitement and nervousness in his chest.

    Lu Qingrang silently watched Xu Wen, who was completely immersed in excitement, with a hint of undercurrent in his eyes.

    City A International Convention Center, before the official start of the press conference, the VIP lounge was already a scene of people drinking and drinking.

    Under the soft lights, technology giants and industry leaders dressed in high-end suits and luxurious dresses held champagne, forming small circles, but the focus of everyone’s attention invariably fell on tonight’s protagonist, Nangong Chen.

    There is a dazzling array of congratulatory gifts, each one is valuable, and behind it represents the overt or covert alignment and investment of huge forces.

    Flash lights recorded this scene one after another. This was not only a gift, but also a preview of power and an oath of resources.

    With a decent smile on his face, Nangong Chen shook hands and greeted every important person, accepting their sincere wishes.

    When the emcee announced that the press conference was about to officially begin and everyone moved to the main venue, Nangong Chen took one last glance at the pile of congratulatory gifts and was filled with satisfaction.

    He straightened his tie and walked towards his brightly lit stage with steady steps.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today, not to showcase a product, but to start an era.” His voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the venue, “Please allow me to introduce to you, the intelligent system-Tianqiong.”

    He turned slightly sideways and pointed at the big screen.

    The screen switches to show a digital twin model of City A that is as detailed as every street.

    “The core of Sky Dome is an artificial intelligence program with the ability to learn independently. It is not a rigid tool, but an extension of city wisdom.” He talked eloquently, with his tone full of passion for guiding the future. “It aims to become the brain of the city, coordinating everything, optimizing resources, and making the entire city run like a sophisticated living body.”

    He selected several scenes that are close to life and easy to understand to give an overview:

    “It’s so big that it can respond to public emergencies in the entire city, coordinate tens of thousands of traffic signals, and plan the most efficient lifeline for emergency and rescue forces.” A smooth animation of dynamically clearing the road for ambulances was shown on the screen in a timely manner.

    “As small as it is, it can provide you with more considerate services after being deeply interconnected with various lifestyle software. For example, when you order takeout, it can not only intelligently warn the food calories based on your health data, but also combine real-time traffic conditions to accurately predict the delivery time for you, and even recommend meal options that best meet your current nutritional needs.”

    As he described, a well-made short film played on the screen: an office worker easily ordered food on his mobile phone, and the interface automatically displayed gentle calorie reminders and nutritional analysis. A parent planned extracurricular activities for his children through the system. Tianqiong intelligently recommended the most suitable courses and venues based on the child’s interests and growth data.

    “This is just the beginning,” Nangong Chen concluded, his voice full of infinite longing. “The potential of Tianqiong lies in its ability to continuously learn and evolve. In the future, it will penetrate into every corner of our lives, bringing unprecedented convenience and wisdom. This is the future we are committed to creating.”

    He didn’t do any real-time demonstrations, all the scenes showing the functions were pre-recorded perfect videos.

    However, this description, combined with carefully produced visual materials, has already outlined an extremely attractive picture of the intelligent future in the minds of the audience, attracting bursts of exclamation and warm applause.

    In the animation, the sky dome system organizes all city operations in an orderly manner, greatly improving efficiency and safety.

    “This is the sky.” Nangong Chen opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing the future. “It represents a brand new possibility, using technology to build a safer, more efficient, and more insightful world. We firmly believe that this is not only the progress of technology, but also the advancement of civilization.”

    His speech won warm and lasting applause from the audience.

    The light converged on him, and at this moment, he seemed to have reached the peak.

    Just when he was about to announce that he was entering the next stage, his eyes inadvertently swept across the side of the stage and saw Su Xia making an urgent and clear gesture to him, which was an important signal agreed in advance.

    Nangong Chen calmly announced into the microphone: “Thank you for your patience. To ensure that the next real-time demonstration is foolproof, our technical team needs the last five minutes to debug the system. Please stay tuned.”

    He nodded gracefully to the audience and left the stage steadily under the eyes of understanding.

    The moment he turned around and stepped into the side curtain, the calmness on his face instantly faded away, as if he had taken off a carefully crafted mask.

    “What’s the matter?”

    Su Xia naturally approached Nangong Chen, and her voice was soft but intimate: “Chen, news just came from below. It seems that there are traces of Lu Qingrang.”

    Nangong Chen’s eyes moved slightly and he looked sideways at her.

    Su Xia continued in a soft voice: “Although the specific location has not been locked yet, now that we have clues, I believe there will be good news soon.”

    A gleam of surprise and joy flashed from Nangong Chen’s eyes.

    He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, reached out and gently smoothed Su Xia’s non-existent messy hair on her temples, his movements were intimate and full of control.

    There was a hint of amusement in his deep voice, “What a double blessing, madam.”

    “Let them continue to dig deeper and dig out the person for me.” His tone was gentle, but the content was cold and biting. “When this press conference comes to a successful conclusion, I will go to meet this… old friend in person.”

    He put his arms around Su Xia’s shoulders and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead. Then he turned around and walked back to the brightly lit stage.
