127: Outdoor live broadcast on the riverbank
The news immediately caused a sensation. This was the first time a private enterprise had held a nationwide competition, and with such generous prizes and rewards, how could anyone not be tempted?
For a time, the Xiao Mifeng Drone attracted nationwide attention, and submissions poured in continuously.
Liu Xiaolin and his team naturally had no time to screen the submissions, so they hired twenty university students to categorize them. A week later, Liu Xiaolin held an internal meeting and selected twenty creative works from the thousands of submissions. The reason these works were chosen was simple: they made people's eyes light up upon seeing them.
This batch of works was then posted online and in print media, inviting the entire nation to vote. Because it was known beforehand that voting would come with coupons, people interested in the Xiao Mifeng Drone rushed to vote. Not only that, they also brought their families to vote.
While waiting for the nationwide voting, Liu Xiaolin also conducted an outdoor livestream with Dong Yuhui in the Southern Choice Live Stream.
The outdoor location was chosen on the Jiangnan river dike.
The scenery there was beautiful, with river water, a beach, a river dike, and willow trees. The aerial footage was simply beautiful beyond description.
"Friends, hello, I am Dong Yuhui. This is my good friend Liu Xiaolin. We are trying outdoor livestream for the first time today because Liu Xiaolin has brought a very unique product—the Xiao Mifeng Drone." Dong Yuhui spoke gracefully in front of the camera. The willow branches beside her swayed in the wind, highlighting Dong Yuhui's fair skin and making her look as beautiful as a red flower among ten thousand greens.
"Friends, hello, I am Liu Xiaolin, and I've come to our Southern Choice Live Stream again. This time, our livestream is very different, as I believe everyone has already seen, because we are livestreaming outdoors. Today is a beautiful day with gentle wind and bright sunshine. Although the temperature is slightly high, it doesn't hinder our enthusiasm, which is even higher than the temperature." Liu Xiaolin began with a long string of emotional words.
"Yes, I see that ten million netizens have already joined our livestream. Thank you for your enthusiasm." Dong Yuhui was also excited.
At this moment, messages on the screen were continuous.
"Liu Xiaolin, I finally see you again! This time, I must buy the Little Bee you are promoting. Last time, the Xiaohang Drones are no longer seen on the market. I really regret not placing an order last time."
"I heard this time the Little Bee also has high cost performance. I plan to watch the test flight before deciding whether to buy."
"Liu Xiaolin, I support you, but I don't have much money, so I can only offer verbal support."
"Dong Yuhui, I support you. Whatever you promote, I believe you."
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic messages, Dong Yuhui was very happy: "Thank you, friends, for your support. We are about to start the test flight. Who is the protagonist of today's test flight? Take a guess."
"It must be Liu Xiaolin. He is an expert in this area and can skillfully handle the remote control during the test flight."
"Wrong, I think it's Dong Yuhui, because I heard the Xiao Mifeng Drone is very easy to get started with. You can operate it just by looking at the buttons on the remote control."
"How is that possible? I think you'd need at least a simple training to operate the remote control, right?"
"Maybe. Didn't the officer from Great Bear Country say last time that Xiaohang Drones don't need training to operate directly and also saved a lot of training costs?"
"But that's the Xiaohang Drones. This time, it's the Xiao Mifeng Drone."
"Are you being silly? Xiaohang Drones have higher technical parameters and don't even need training. The Little Bee is a purely civilian drone, so it definitely needs even less training. Therefore, I think the protagonist of today's test flight must be Dong Yuhui."
Amidst everyone's discussions, Dong Yuhui finally revealed the answer: "Some friends guessed correctly. The protagonist of today's test flight is me!"
"Yes, I, as the streamer, will explain the situation of Dong Yuhui operating the Xiao Mifeng Drone for everyone. Please keep your eyes peeled and wait." Liu Xiaolin echoed from the side.
At this moment, Dong Yuhui took out a packaging box, opened it in front of the camera, and took out the silver-white Xiao Mifeng Drone: "Friends, like you, this is my first time seeing the true appearance of the Xiao Mifeng Drone. Oh, it really is too beautiful."
Dong Yuhui said this while holding the Xiao Mifeng Drone and displaying it in front of the camera for everyone to appreciate.
Then she took out the remote control: "The remote control is designed with a screen for receiving data. This is a first among all drones. It can not only receive but also automatically store information. It's truly amazing."
"Senior Apprentice Sister, you can open the screen. A tutorial video on how to operate the Xiao Mifeng Drone is saved directly on it. Now you and the friends in front of the camera can learn together." Liu Xiaolin instructed.
"So thoughtful? They even stored a tutorial video in the remote control? That's really good. Let me see." Dong Yuhui said this while opening the tutorial video, and connected it to the livestream screen, watching it together with everyone.
A few minutes later, the video finished playing.
"I've learned it, friends in front of the screen, have you? If not, let's get familiar with it together."
Dong Yuhui confidently placed the Xiao Mifeng Drone on the beach, walked to the side, and pressed the remote control button. The silver-white Little Bee whooshed into the air.
"It flew up, that's great."
"What's so great about this? The video just said you can fly it by pressing a button. Don't be so startled and scare people."
"Exactly. This is just the beginning. We still need to see what specific features it has that can attract me."
"Right, I don't want a toy plane. I want a drone capable of aerial photography."
Amidst everyone's discussions, Liu Xiaolin began his poetic explanation: "Friends, did you see? Over the sparkling river surface, the silver-white Xiao Mifeng Drone is circling and flying. What is it waiting for? It is waiting for the owner operating the remote control to give it instructions."
"Senior Apprentice Sister, what do you want it to do?" Liu Xiaolin asked the excited Senior Apprentice Sister on the beach.
"I want to see how high it can fly. Right now, it's just circling at low altitude. I want it to fly higher." Dong Yuhui held the remote control, looked at the blue sky, and shouted loudly.
"Senior Apprentice Sister wants to see how high the Xiao Mifeng Drone can fly. She wants the drone to take her to see higher and further. Well, you just gently press another button, and it can reach an altitude of eight hundred meters." Liu Xiaolin said excitedly.
Dong Yuhui heard this and pressed another button. The drone began to climb upwards, climbing all the way to an altitude of eight hundred meters. At this moment, people could not see the drone with their naked eyes at all. They could only see it circling and flying at high altitude by looking at the data transmitted back on the screen.
