I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.
Chapter 402 Aircraft Launch Event
Sihai Intelligent's Weibo posts attracted a lot of attention and discussion from netizens.
"Haha... Boss Yang never disappoints. Thor Corporation thinks they can climb over him to the top? That's just wishful thinking."
"If it's really possible to fly on a sword and control it with your mind, I'd be willing to spend 30 to buy it, up to 50 at most. Any more than that would be a bit too much."
"The era of cyber cultivation has truly arrived. From now on, the sky will be filled with people flying on swords, while we poor oxen and horses will only be able to run on the ground. But that's good too, at least there won't be any traffic jams on the ground."
"Mr. Yang, let's make it a friendly price of 98,000. You're not short of money anyway, just give it to us at cost price. If foreigners want to buy it, you can sell it to them for a higher price and make your profit from them."
"Some people are going too far. Mr. Yang may be rich, but that doesn't mean he can't make money. You can't be poor and then justify it. Thor's individual flying device sells for 49 Eagle Coins, so Mr. Yang's individual flying device should sell for 49 Dragon Coins. There should be some threshold for these things. Not everyone can afford them, otherwise there will be traffic jams in the air, and if there's a collision, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Thanks to Raytheon's publicity and mention of him, netizens from all over the world were looking forward to Yang Chen's response. However, they did not expect Yang Chen's response to be so direct, that he would also launch a single-soldier flying device.
Upon receiving the news, various countries immediately contacted Raytheon to suspend their purchase orders.
They want to see the price of Yang Chen's individual flying device before deciding whether to continue with the purchase order.
When the top executives of Raytheon saw this, they realized it wouldn't work. The boast had already been made, and the sales of over 800 billion Eagle Dollars had been included in the financial report, causing the stock price to surge by more than 50%. How could they be allowed to suspend or even cancel the orders?
President Hayes immediately contacted the White House, instructing them to pressure various countries to purchase Raytheon's individual combat aircraft, regardless of how cheap Yang Chen's products were. They were not allowed to purchase Yang Chen's individual combat aircraft, otherwise the Bald Eagle troops stationed in their countries would not accept them.
After all, it's a business worth over 800 billion Eagle Dollars, so the White House will definitely support Thor unconditionally.
Soon, countries received calls from the White House, explicitly demanding that they purchase Raytheon's individual combat aircraft and prohibiting them from purchasing Yang Chen's individual combat aircraft.
If they disobey orders, the bald eagle will certainly punish them severely.
The bald eagle has benefited from wielding the tariff stick from various countries, and now they are convinced that this method can be used against all countries except for China and Russia.
That's why they frequently use this to threaten their underlings and allies into obeying their orders.
In addition to threatening their subordinates and allies, the White House also reprimanded the CIA director.
When they selected Raytheon's individual combat aerial vehicle, they specifically asked the CIA to investigate whether Yang Chen had similar products. Only after confirming that there were no similar products did they finalize Raytheon's individual combat aerial vehicle as their key product for promotion.
Now Yang Chen's company has suddenly announced that it will also launch such a product, and it can even be controlled by thought. Doesn't this completely outclass Thor's single-soldier flying machine?
If Sihai Intelligent is going to launch such a product, it must go through repeated test flights. What are the CIA people doing? Why haven't they found any information about it?
The White House even believes that CIA undercover agents have defected, otherwise they wouldn't have provided false intelligence that led higher-ups to make incorrect judgments.
Therefore, the White House explicitly demanded that the CIA recall its undercover agents stationed in China and conduct the most rigorous vetting and investigation of them. Any defectors discovered must be dealt with seriously and without leniency.
This means that the CIA has destroyed its own intelligence network, which it has painstakingly built up over many years.
But they have no choice but to destroy it themselves, because who knows what false information they might send back in the future?
Just as the CIA was recalling personnel, the Sihai Intelligent Individual Soldier Flying Vehicle launch event was held.
Normally, Yang Chen wouldn't need to personally oversee this, but since Raytheon CEO Hayes called on him, he naturally had to accept the challenge.
Huang Wei first went on stage to warm up the atmosphere, and only after the atmosphere was right did she invite Yang Chen to the stage to host the press conference.
Yang Chen took to the stage amidst cheers and applause from reporters and audience members, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
Yang Chen stepped up to the microphone and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm Yang Chen. Thank you all for coming to our Sihai Intelligent new product launch. My girlfriend is pregnant, and I originally planned to stay home with her. However, Mr. Hayes, the president of Raytheon, mentioned me on television, so I thought I'd come here in person to respond to him."
The crowd immediately erupted in cheers, with everyone shouting "Congratulations!" and viewers both domestically and internationally watching the live stream also happily sending messages of blessing.
"Mr. Yang's business empire has an heir. Congratulations!"
"Wow, young master is so lucky to have been born into such a family! This old servant is very pleased."
"Honestly, if he's the eldest son, he's already ahead of 99.999999% of people in the world from birth. Do you agree?"
"Is there a Taoist priest here? I'd like to ask if, if I were to die right now, I could be reincarnated as Boss Yang's eldest son? To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with myself in this life and want to change it."
"I am a Taoist priest, and I also want to know if such Taoist arts exist. I also want to know if it is too late to be reborn as Boss Yang's eldest son if I die now."
"The idol has a successor! Congratulations! With the idol's abilities, his child will definitely be amazing too."
"Mr. Yang, my twin sisters, could we become in-laws? Your son can choose whichever he likes, or even both. No dowry needed, just that both daughters take good care of my wife and me." "Damn it! I was sleeping, whose abacus bead hit my face and woke me up with a jolt of pain?"
Yang Chen accepted everyone's blessings and said with a smile, "Thank you everyone, thank you. Now let's get straight to today's topic and watch a short video. Please look at the big screen."
A video was playing on the temporary large screen behind Yang Chen. The main content of the video was the design concept, structure, features, and test data of the individual soldier flying vehicle.
After watching the video, the reporters immediately began asking questions.
AFP reporter: Mr. Yang, congratulations on becoming a father.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you. Do you have any questions?"
The AFP reporter nodded and continued, "I'd like to ask about the specifics of the vector engine and brain-computer interface. Could you share some details with us?"
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Of course! Vector engines aren't a new concept; they've been around for many years. We've developed a small vector engine, which, when installed on this single-soldier aircraft, allows for free turning. According to the data we've collected, this vector engine is powerful and stable. We can develop larger vector engines for use on airplanes and other large aircraft in the future. Brain-computer interfaces aren't new either; I remember Elon Master recently announced his brain-computer interface product. We've applied brain-computer interfaces to this aircraft, allowing users to easily control the aircraft's turning, takeoff, and landing with their thoughts. This is an important accumulation of experience, and we will launch other brain-computer interface products in the future. Currently, our brain-computer interface products nearing the end of testing are prosthetics and humanoid robots."
Everyone thought this single-soldier flying machine, which could change its flight direction at will and be controlled by thought, was already amazing enough, but little did they know that Yang Chen had two more amazing products that were about to be launched.
The AFP reporter quickly asked, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for sharing so much with us. But you've piqued our curiosity again. Could you briefly explain the value of brain-computer interfaces and robots?"
Yang Chen smiled and said, "Sure. Brain-computer interface prostheses are easy to understand. People with missing limbs can be fitted with these brain-computer interface prostheses, which connect the brain and the prosthesis through a brain-computer interface. This way, they can control the prosthesis with their thoughts, just like a real one. Our purpose in developing brain-computer interface robots is to give those who are paralyzed in bed a 'new self.' They can control the robot with their thoughts to do what they want. For example, if they want to drink water, they can control the robot to do it. Later, we found that ordinary people can also have such a robot. For example, if I am a bomb disposal expert, I can control the robot remotely to defuse bombs. Even if something goes wrong, it won't hurt me; I can just replace the robot. Or, if I am a housewife and I don't want to cook today, I can control the robot to cook for me. I have always emphasized that technological progress must benefit mankind, and I am now fulfilling my promise. I will try my best to keep the price low so that even the most ordinary people can afford it."
The crowd immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
At this moment, foreign users watching the live stream began sending comments to express their feelings.
Japanese netizen Yokota: What should I do? I've completely fallen in love with Yang Chen; he's humanity's savior!
White-headed Eagle netizen James: Wang Defa? How come he can research and develop so many high-tech products? It feels like his high-tech products are coming out like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, one after another, never stopping.
A South Korean netizen commented: "As everyone knows, Yang Chen has a close relationship with Lee Jae-young, the chairman of our Samheung Group. Yang Chen is practically one of our South Korean empires. His strength equals our strength; after all, who doesn't bring their in-laws along when they're doing well?"
Indian netizens: The Koreans are at it again, are they never going to stop? Stealing from China's culture and ancient people isn't enough, now they're even stealing from the living? Didn't you hear what Yang Chen said? His girlfriend is pregnant. Your Chairman Li is nothing but a mistress without a title. What kind of father-in-law is a mistress?
A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "Every time something like this happens, I have to praise our Crown Prince. He has such strategic foresight to cooperate with Yang Chen in advance. You didn't understand why we spent so much money on Yang Chen before, but now you know why! Yang Chen is powerful, and whether the Koreans are powerful or not is hard to say, but our Sand Kingdom will definitely become stronger along with him. Just watch, we in Liad will soon be able to use this single-soldier flying vehicle."
Just as netizens from various countries were having a passionate discussion, a performance began at the press conference.
One hundred people, standing on their feet in the Four Seas Individual Flying Machines, formed a large square formation and flew over from afar.
Reporters and audience members from various countries immediately pointed their cameras at the sky, recording the entire performance.
At that moment, Raytheon CEO Hayes, who was watching the live stream, silently prayed that one of his robots would fall from the sky.
"God help me, I hope at least one of them falls down. If more could fall down, that would be even better. If my wish comes true, I will believe in God forever."
Just as naive as Hayes were the group in the White House, who were also praying to God that a few of the Four Seas Intelligent Performers would fall down.
Clearly, the God they believed in was not so effective. The Sihai Intelligent Performance Team flew over the heads of the guests at the press conference in a straight line, then turned around and flew back, performing random changes of direction in the air.
The guests were very satisfied, and their praises were endless.
After they performed various technical maneuvers, Yang Chen announced loudly, "These are the technical maneuvers we'll be demonstrating. As an aircraft, we must consider what to do if it malfunctions and crashes. Now, let our performers demonstrate how users can save themselves if the aircraft malfunctions."
As soon as Yang Chen finished speaking, the 100 performers simultaneously shut down their engines, and the aircraft immediately plummeted. The performers' parachutes opened almost at the same time, bringing them to the ground very smoothly.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again, expressing their satisfaction with the feature.
Yang Chen announced loudly, "We have already produced tens of thousands of sets of equipment. We have tested every single set, and only one set malfunctioned because a screw wasn't tightened properly. All the other tested aircraft were fine. So, you can use them with confidence and without worrying about malfunctions, because even if a malfunction does occur, we have remedial measures. Oh, by the way, I need to explain something to everyone. There are three ways to open the parachute. The first is manual opening, which is straightforward. The second is automatic opening. If the aircraft suddenly drops rapidly, whether due to a malfunction or intentional operator intervention, the program will automatically open the parachute. The third is opening the parachute via brain-computer interface and thought control. So, you really don't need to worry about safety; we have triple safeguards to ensure user safety."
The audience burst into warm applause again.
Then, the reporter from Eagle Union asked loudly, "Mr. Yang, you've said so much, and we've heard so much, and we've seen how powerful this product is. What we're most concerned about now is its price. Can you announce the price now?"
Yang Chen smiled and replied, "Of course! As I just said, I will try my best to keep the price low so that even the most ordinary people can afford it. Our individual soldier flying vehicle comes in two versions, one for civilian use and one for military use. The civilian version has a uniform price of 12.8 in China and a uniform price of 4.9 in overseas markets. We won't quote a price for the military version; those interested can contact us to discuss it." (End of Chapter)
