57: At the press conference, reporters from all over the world went crazy!
“Roughly… about ten thousand kilometers.”
When Lu Chen’s understated and nonchalant words, yet imbued with a terrifying weight capable of bankrupting every car manufacturer in the world, clearly echoed through the most advanced sound system in the vast National Convention Center.
The entire venue… fell silent.
Terribly silent.
As if time itself had been paused at that moment.
All the Western Alliance reporters who had been mocking and sneering earlier now felt as if an invisible, massive hand had tightly gripped their throats!
Their mouths were wide open, large enough to fit an ostrich egg!
Their faces were filled with an unprecedented, as if they had seen a ghost… astonishment!
Ten… ten thousand… kilometers?!
What… what kind of divine concept is this?!
Currently, the electric car with the highest range in the world is Tesla’s Model S!
Its maximum range is only a mere… six hundred and fifty kilometers!
And you, Pangu Technology, who popped out of nowhere!
Just came out and directly multiplied this record by… fifteen times?!
Are… are you playing some kind of hellish joke on us?!
“No… impossible!”
“This is absolutely impossible!”
“He’s bragging!”
“This is a scam! It’s a complete technological… hoax meticulously planned by the people of Xia Nation!”
After a brief period of dead silence.
The entire venue instantly erupted!
Countless Western Alliance reporters sprang from their seats like madmen!
They pointed at the calm-faced young man on stage, roaring hysterically!
Questioning him!
They absolutely refused to believe!
And absolutely could not accept!
That this backward country, which they had always trampled underfoot as the “world’s factory”!
Could actually achieve such a subversive and terrifying… breakthrough in the new energy field, which they were most proud of!
This is unscientific!
However… facing the overwhelming waves of doubt from the audience.
Lu Chen’s face showed no trace of panic.
He didn’t even have the desire to explain.
He just smiled calmly.
Then gently snapped his fingers.
The next second!
The stage of the press conference, filled with a sense of future technology, slowly split open from the middle towards both sides without warning!
A huge lift platform slowly rose from directly beneath the stage!
And resting silently on the lift platform was precisely that 'Kua Fu' supercar, full of violent aesthetics, with a design even more extravagant than a star cruiser from a sci-fi movie!
When this steel beast, capable of making any man’s adrenaline surge, appeared before everyone in such a shocking manner!
All the dissenting voices in the entire venue instantly vanished!
Replaced by a deathly silence!
And countless heavy breaths, filled with greed and longing!
“Oh! My God!”
“Is… is this real?!”
“This is… so f***ing cool!”
“This is simply a perfect work of art!”
Everyone’s eyes were firmly drawn to this super sports car, filled with fatal allure!
They even forgot to question its incredible range!
And Musk, the founder of Tesla, like a madman, directly broke through the security personnel’s obstruction!
He darted onto the stage in one swift move!
His blue eyes were filled with the fanaticism and… obsession an artist feels upon seeing a perfect masterpiece!
He reached out, trembling, and caressed the 'Kua Fu’s' cold, streamlined body, integrally cast from 'Dragon Bone' alloy!
He mumbled to himself.
“Perfect… too perfect…”
“This is the future… car I’ve always dreamed of!”
His heartfelt, fervent praise was clearly transmitted throughout the entire venue via the microphone on his person, which had not been turned off!
And, through countless cameras, it was broadcast live to… the whole world!
In an instant!
The entire world’s internet exploded!
[Holy crap! Musk has defected?!]
[What’s the deal with this car?! It’s too damn cool?!]
[Pangu Technology? Which alien company is this?!]
[Ten thousand kilometers of range?! Is it real?! If it’s real, I’ll smash my Porsche right now!]
Meanwhile, at the press conference.
Lu Chen looked at Musk, who was embracing his “new toy” with a “pervertedly obsessed” expression, and smiled helplessly.
He cleared his throat and said faintly into the microphone:
“I know.”
“All talk and no action is just a show.”
“Since everyone still doesn’t believe it.”
“Then…”
He turned around and snapped his fingers towards the backstage.
“heavenly craft.”
“Give our distinguished 'madman' guest a little 'welcome gift'.”
“Give our distinguished 'madman' guest a little 'welcome gift'.”
As soon as he finished speaking!
A silver-white metal briefcase, full of futuristic technology, was slowly delivered to Musk by a smart robot!
Musk was stunned for a moment.
Subconsciously, he opened the briefcase.
The next second!
His blue eyes instantly shot out a terrifying… brilliant light, more dazzling than discovering a new continent!
Inside the briefcase lay quietly a palm-sized, entirely black… 'Golden Crow'… battery!
“This… this is for me?!” Musk’s voice was trembling!
“Of course.”
Lu Chen nodded, a “benevolent” smile appearing on his face.
“But it’s not free.”
“I hope Mr. Musk can help us with a small favor.”
“What favor?!” Musk agreed without thinking!
Let alone a small favor!
Even if he was asked to call Lu Chen “dad” on the spot right now!
He would be willing!
“It’s very simple.”
Lu Chen pointed to the Western Alliance reporters in the audience who were completely dumbfounded.
A devilish smile played on his lips.
“I hope you can use your most advanced Tesla battery testing equipment.”
“In front of everyone in the world.”
“Personally…”
“Verify those two insignificant little data points I just mentioned.”
“To see…”
“If I was bragging.”
