Chapter 757 Penglai City Opens!
?
There was a little bit of rain floating in the sky, but the blowing on the sea was not ordinary. The roiling waves beat against the side of the ship, and the water splashed wantonly on the bow. The staff wore raincoats and carried cameras in front of them, while the reporter stood at the bow even harder, holding the railing with one hand and the microphone with the other, providing the TV coverage for the TV. The previous audience brought first-hand news.
"Now, behind us is the legendary Penglai City. You may not see it, because we are about 15 nautical miles away from the nearest port! Look at the black dot, what we can see now is the central building of Penglai City The spire of the tower. The coast guard ship of Xinghuan Trade has temporarily blocked this sea area, and the blockade will be lifted at 12:00 noon. At that time, our reporter will bring you further reports.”
The face was blown red, but there was no temperature at all. After yelling the last word, Lu Xiao wiped the water from her face. With weak legs, she walked down from the bow with the support of the staff.
Back in the cabin, Li Hanliang, the old leader of the interview team, came over and handed her a bottle of mineral water.
"Xiao Xiao, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work!" After drinking half a bottle with her head held high, Lu Xiao finally regained some energy, and the vigor returned to her young face, "Team Leader Li, did Xinghuan Trading agree to our application?"
Li Hanliang shook his head, sighed, and sat on the chair next to him.
"It's not easy to handle. They don't nod no matter what I say. But other TV stations are the same. They don't take sides in this matter. Even their own Xinguo TV station is staying outside the blockade area."
Hearing this, Lu Xiao couldn't help but have a strange expression.
This doesn't look like an interview, it's like running a race! There are reporters on the boat next to it, and Columbia TV is farther away. It is enough for the Future Group to have so many media charter a boat to wait.
Time passed quickly, and it was noon in a short while, and the coast guard ship also issued a green light.
After receiving the news of the contact blockade, the cruise ships and small boats surrounding Penglai City began to move forward, sailing towards the city called a miracle.
Standing on the helicopter and looking down, the scene of the ships rushing to Penglai City from all directions, dragging white waves, is simply like a magnificent picture scroll! According to statistics from the Tourism Bureau, 1.27 million people applied for the first batch of landing on the island, and the total number of ships in the target sea area exceeds 9,000!
On the other side, a luxurious medium-sized cruise ship also moved slowly, carrying passengers visiting Penglai City.
The weather on the sea changed rapidly. It was still raining for the first two hours, but now the sun was out, and the deck became hot in no time. Wearing casual beach attire, Wei Wendong stood on the bow of the cruise ship, looking in the direction of Penglai City, with an expectant smile on his lips.
That is Penglai City, the spectacle he has seen in the virtual world
It can be said that he is full of expectations for what the city will look like in this world.
A few days after the year, God-level Continent Season 2 ended, and the Royal Guild won the first place in the individual competition and the impressive fifth place in the group stage! The title of this champion is naturally his "Shadow Demon". In order to celebrate his victory, the sponsor directly gave him a 20 million red envelope.
is it a lot? Actually not much.
Not to mention the number of players in the god-level continent that is number one in the world, due to the popularity of virtual reality online games and the amazing viewing quality, even many people who don't play games, put on helmets and applied for tourist seats to join in the fun. This large-scale event was broadcast live around the world.
According to the official data given by Futureman Technology, not counting the ratings of those TV broadcasts, the peak number of viewers of the arena live broadcast exceeded 2.9 billion!
What is the concept of 2.9 billion? At least double the number of viewers after the match!
Come to think of it, the average peak viewership per game is only over 20 million. Qualifiers in the individual competition and group competition are allowed to affix the sponsor's logo on the back of their name. It is self-evident how high the commercial value of being able to insert one's own trademark in an event with such terrifying attention and let one's company show its face in front of billions of people around the world.
Wei Wendong didn't know how much money the sponsor gave them to the union afterwards, he only knew that the figure would not be less than 500 million soft sister coins.
After the match, the Royal Family Guild directly chartered a whole luxury cruise ship, and brought the core members of the whole guild to a full-fledged offline party! The destination of this offline gathering is Penglai City.
He tapped the r phone rolled up on his wrist, and a holographic screen the size of a palm unfolded above his wrist. Taking a picture of the distant view of Penglai City, looking at the city on the screen, and letting Na Hai mess up his hair, Wei Wendong couldn't help smiling with a bit of enthusiasm.
Last year, he bought two sets of real estate in Penglai City, a 2-level apartment with purchase restrictions, and a 4-level apartment with no purchase restrictions. He still had some heartache when he bought the two houses at that time, and he had to pay half of the deposit for the two houses, but now he only regrets why he didn't spend the other half at the beginning.
With the completion of Penglai City, the rumors of impossible completion went bankrupt. In less than a month, the prices of the two houses in his hands have doubled, and there is even a tendency to double them again.
Soon, the cruise ship docked at the harbor of Penglai City.
On all four sides of the entire ring-shaped artificial island, there are thousands of ports, large and small, as well as private and public boathouses that can be freely accessed. Although the scene of more than 9,000 ships approaching is spectacular, it is not crowded when landing on the island.
As advertised, the whole city is full of cutting-edge sci-fi. Billboards, shop signs, and big screens on the roof of the shopping mall all use the holographic technology produced by Future Group.
Putting on the glasses he got from the customs, the lovely navigator Xiaoyu appeared in his hand after a long absence. Mischievously flying around him a few times, Xiao Yu flew in front of him, and at his request, led him to the property he bought.
While walking, Xiaoyu chirped to answer his questions and introduced him the information of Penglai City.
Such realistic augmented reality technology even made him a little unclear whether this place is virtual or real.
On both sides of the street, various shops are open. The staff of shopping malls, catering and service industries like this have already boarded the island as early as yesterday because they got the early entry permit, and packed up the stores so that they can open for business on the first day of the city's opening.
There are very few vehicles on the streets and most people walk. However, Penglai City's traffic planning is very good. The twelve suspended train rail transit lines buried on the basement level allow tourists to reach any place in the city within ten minutes.
In addition, it is said that the roads in this city were buried with magnetic tracks at the beginning of construction. After the breakthrough of the magnetic levitation vehicle technology of Future Renzhong Industry Co., Ltd., the traffic in this city will change from a plane to a three-dimensional
Thinking of this, Wei Wendong couldn't help feeling a little hopeful.
Filled with so many cutting-edge technologies, living in such a city, such a life will definitely not be boring.
