473: Chapter 472: Price Announced!
"A... A... Aerospace flight???"
"Holy crap!! Holy crap!! Did I mishear that??!"
"This is literally an Iron Man suit!!"
"Oh my god! I actually lived to see the day when personal spacecraft become mainstream?!"
"Kang Guang said it's 'short-term,' does that mean you can only fly for a few dozen minutes, just enough to fly up to orbit and take a look or something?"
"That's still badass enough!!!"
"You're going to space personally, what more could you possibly want??..."
"..."
Discussions online reached a fever pitch.
Everyone was completely conquered by the powerful functions of the "Space Exploration Edition."
This completely exceeded everyone's limits of imagination for a "civilian product"!
Kang Guang raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
"The Space Exploration Edition is the most powerful civilian Exoskeleton Armor."
"In addition to the basic capability of aerospace flight."
"It also possesses superior protective performance and environmental adaptability."
"It can operate in various complex environments such as high temperature, extreme cold, high pressure, and oxygen-free conditions."
"Thereby meeting the traversal requirements of some special terrains."
"For example, orbital exploration, deep-sea exploration, high-altitude operations, and various other extreme scenarios."
Kang Guang paused, his sharp gaze sweeping across the venue.
He continued his introduction.
"The youth edition, the Strive Edition, and the Space Exploration Edition."
"The three major versions of civilian Exoskeleton Armor are each divided into three configurations: standard, high-spec, and top-spec."
"Consumers can choose the configuration according to their own needs."
"In terms of performance."
"The standard armor is not a stripped-down version; in terms of core behavioral assistance capabilities, the three configurations within the same version are completely identical."
"The biggest difference lies in the high-spec smart helmet and the top-spec expansion capabilities."
He paused deliberately.
In Kang Guang's words.
The implication was already thick and unmistakable.
"The high-spec version is equipped with the newly developed virtual smart helmet."
"It."
"Will be the key to connecting to another world!"
"And the top-spec version, in addition to the virtual smart helmet, is also equipped with more and richer functional interfaces, allowing for free DIY functional expansion."
"If you want to modify your own Exoskeleton Armor, the top-spec will be your best choice."
"In terms of battery life, the three configurations also have different distinctions..."
The introduction of the different configurations of the civilian Exoskeleton Armor continued.
But at this moment.
Almost everyone's mind was still immersed in the shock of aerospace flight.
Few people could understand the deep meaning behind his words, "the key to another world."
At the Spring Festival Gala venue.
Everyone was surging with emotion.
Between neighbors, suppressed whispers of excitement were incessant.
But soon.
As Kang Guang's introduction of the Exoskeleton Armor drew to a close.
This noisy discussion suddenly and eerily disappeared.
The entire Spring Festival Gala studio hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Everyone focused their gaze on Kang Guang on the stage.
The functional introduction was over.
Then the core question arrived.
The price!
How much would this Exoskeleton Armor, which seemed to have walked out of a sci-fi movie, actually cost?
"They're about to announce the price! Hurry, hurry, everyone hold your breath!"
"I guess that cheapest youth edition must be at least 300,000, right? This is epoch-making high technology!"
"300,000?? You must be dreaming!"
"I was a translator responsible for communicating with the Camel Countries at the Zhu City International Aviation Exhibition the year before last. Those guys in headscarves told me that the overseas version of the Exoskeleton Armor we sold cost 2 billion a set! You have to know, that was still the first generation of Exoskeleton Armor!"
"So, the civilian version must be at least... at least two million as a baseline!!"
"2 million? Holy crap, who can afford that? What kind of 'making it accessible to the public' is that? Even if you sold everything you own, you couldn't afford it!"
"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible for it to be that expensive! You all underestimate Chief Designer Lin too much!"
"Chief Designer Lin has already said that technology should be made accessible to the people!!! The Space Exploration Edition might be expensive, but I bet the most basic standard youth edition will be at most 200,000! It can't be more than that!!"
