"Come on, it canât be that bad. I just checked, and although the Light Blue Groupâs main company hasnât been around for long, the businesses itâs merged with are big shots in their respective industries. They wouldnât do something like that."
"Ha, donât be naive. What wonât capitalists do? Pulling stunts and advertising is just their routine. Iâm telling you, if he actually has a holographic projection phone like that, Iâll live stream myself doing a handstand diarrhea."
"..."
Instantly, the comments from netizens came flooding in.
The influence of money was still very clear.
The product had not yet been officially revealed, and the live stream rooms on various platforms were already very hot.
However, the vast majority of them were skeptics, with almost no one believing that Light Blue Group could actually bring out the so-called holographic projection phone.
Some tech geeks even analyzed a bunch of data from a professional angle to prove just how difficult it would be to achieve such technology.
"Guys, itâs not that I donât believe them, itâs just that the likelihood is too low. I wonât even start on software technology, but just with the hardware alone, itâs impossible with our current technology."
"A holographic projection phone would definitely not be like ordinary phones; its chip design would need a complete overhaul."
"Moreover, according to the chips used in current mainstream smartphones on the market, they have a computational power of around 20 thousand Pascals, but if you want to achieve holographic projection modeâmind you, Iâm not talking about those virtual keyboards, but real holographic projectionâthen the computational power needs to be at least ten times higher, that is 200 thousand Pascals, which is just not feasible."
"And thatâs not all, apart from the most basic chips, there are various components and devices as well, all of which need updating... Not to put too fine a point on it, but we probably canât even make the projection lenses, let alone the batteries which are definitely not up to the task. Donât even mention a finished smartphone."
"So, to produce a finished smartphone, youâd have to completely replace all of the internal hardware and materials from scratch, and the difficulty of this is several orders of magnitude greater than when the original iPhone was first introduced."
As soon as this string of barrage comments appeared, it immediately received everyoneâs likes and was pinned to the top of the screen.
"Paying respects to the analysis emperor. Youâre spot on; such a phone is not possible in the short term, these unscrupulous merchants are just playing with our feelings."
"Damn it, I knew it. These guys are just fishing for traffic. I even quit my game to see what this was all about, but in the end, I got duped once again."
"Heh, go ahead and advertise all you want, if I buy it I lose."
"..."
The number of barrage comments started to increase.
Many people, after being reminded by the pinned comment, seemed to have also figured out the reality of the situation and began to rail against the press conference.
On the stage, Su Fu continued to talk eloquently, introducing some features of the phone.
However, up to this point, he still had not taken out an actual phone.
So, although the stage was lavishly decorated, the absence of any real exhibits caused many people to express dissatisfaction, and bystanders began to turn against him.
In the private room, Zhang Xiaoman was also very curious about the phone he mentioned.
He naturally knew it couldnât be some scam, since the watch was provided by him.
What he was really looking forward to was what kind of phone Sun Mingshengâs group had come up with using it, and to what extent they could replicate the watchâs holographic projection feature.
"Alright, Iâve said so much, and I believe many people are very curious whether this is real or not. But donât worry, I can confidently tell you that itâs all true."
Su Fu then spread his arms with a smile on his face.
The cursing in the live stream room paused at that moment, as if waiting for the revelation of the answer.
But on the stage, Su Fu made no further moves, just holding his arms up, smiling at the journalists below as if frozen in time.
"Click, click, click, click."
Flashlights kept going off, as journalists snapped photos and began to murmur among themselves.
About ten seconds or so passed in this way.
Su Fu maintained the arms-spread pose on stage, and even his facial expressions remained unchanged.
By this time, people finally began to sense that something was off.
"Whatâs going on? What the hell is he doing? Is he playing a game of Statues or something?"
"Thatâs not right, how come I feel like someone paused the video? Guys, weâre watching a livestream, right? Does livestreaming come with a pause feature now? Is this like an intermission?"
"Holy moly, that scared me. If it werenât for the moving comments, I would have thought my computer froze... But seriously, why is this guy just standing there not moving?"
"..."
While the crowd was buzzing with discussion, a figure walked up from the edge of the stage.
With his movement, everyone couldnât help but turn their attention toward him.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, dressed in a white casual suit, tall and straight, with a handsome face, the very image of a dashing middle-aged man.
However, when the audience saw him, they were simultaneously stunned.
Because the newcomer looked exactly like Su Fu on the stage!
"What, whatâs going on here?"
A reporter from below let out an exclamation.
"No way, donât tell me that one is actually..."
By this time, some quick-reacting individuals had snapped back to reality.
The man who had just walked onto the stage approached the Su Fu with outstretched hands and simply touched him.
Immediately, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the previous Su Fuâs body started to twinkle with points of starlight, and then disappeared altogether.
Not only that, but the entire stage scene also began to slowly become transparent, eventually vanishing from everyoneâs sight as well.
When all the changes had ceased, what remained in the audienceâs field of view? There was no high-tech display booth anymore.
All that was left was a plain, little platform and a white wall.
At that instant, the venue of the conference fell into a silent as grave.
Everyoneâs mouth was agape, staring dumbfounded at the scene before them.
For a brief moment, the barrage on the internet also came to a halt, then erupted like a surging tide.
"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, can someone tell me what I just saw? Am I dreaming right now? What the hell is all this!?"
"How is this possible! So the one talking to us this whole time wasnât a real person? What is this sorcery? Arenât we watching a livestream? Could it be just a video with sci-fi effects?"
"Haha, the IQ of the guy above is worrisome. Canât you see? This is obviously holographic projection! Who wouldâve thought... The realism of that projection was so high that it fooled us all."
"Someone pinch me quick! Come on, are you telling us that those holographic images were actually constructed by that kind of cellphone?"
"..."
The online comments were frantically scrolling, and the scene wasnât much better.
The journalists were even more shocked than the netizens.
After coming to their senses, they erupted into loud debates, causing the entire conference venue to become somewhat chaotic.
Su Fu smiled as he looked at the crowd below.
Once their voices had quieted down a bit, he bent down and picked up three cell phones from the floor of the display.
Upon seeing his action, everyone finally fell silent.
Everyone with bated breath and focused attention watched this scene, anticipating what would happen next.
Su Fu held up the phones in front of him and addressed both the audience and the viewers online:
"I believe you have all noticed, yes, everything just now was an illusion! All of it was the holographic projection constructed by our latest product!"
"Now, let me formally introduce to you this new model of cellphone."
