The scene of the opening ceremony of the new century was more lively than the streets on Christmas Day. There were not only people joining in the fun, but also a large group of reporters watching the live broadcast.

As 20:00 gradually approached, the atmosphere in the venue became increasingly warm, and people began to flock to the central square.

In the Raccoon City Center Square, colored lights were hung high, and people were noisy, waiting for the various high-tech exhibits that would be displayed at the opening event of the Umbrella Company.

As the time approaches, the TV stations that have settled in Raccoon City early have also started live broadcasts in designated locations.

At 19:30, staff members wearing armbands with umbrella logos entered the venue to rectify the order on site.

At 19:45, order was restored. The citizens who could appear here were all those who had surrendered their firearms and voluntarily accepted inspections. Their overall quality was good and they did not resist abiding by the rules.

At exactly 19:59, a piece of soothing music was played from the loudspeakers hidden on the street lights around the square.

At the same time, four small aircraft flew out of the buildings around the square, emitting light blue light and flying around the heads of the citizens. With the stereo sound effects played by the loudspeakers, the somewhat messy scene could be noticed.

These small aircraft.

The citizens followed the movement of several small aircraft with surprised eyes. Although they thought it was magical, a small flying thing did not attract much of their attention.

Only some people noticed that these four aircraft did not have propellers and stared at them intently.

After hovering for a minute, the four small circular aircraft arrived on the white cloth covered by the giant holographic billboard. The time just reached eight o'clock in the evening.

The white cloth was lifted up by four small aircraft, and the white curtain flew high into the sky. The giant holographic image billboard hidden under the white cloth was revealed in front of all citizens.

The holographic image billboard is a metal disc one meter high and three meters in diameter. Its appearance is covered with various precise splicing decorations. Small blue light strips connect the nodes one by one, making the disc full of people's imagination of future creation.

.

Even if these are just decorations and the lights are just to attract attention, it does not prevent citizens from marveling at the appearance of the holographic billboard.

bite!

There was a crisp metal collision sound, and the holographic image was running. Ten meters in the air in the center of the square, the red and white umbrella-shaped logo of the umbrella was projected, which immediately caused a burst of screams and cheers from the citizens.

The logo suspended in mid-air rotated twice and disappeared, and then a square square appeared on the holographic screen.

There are screens on all four sides of the square, and in the screen is a little figure of Duncan. He walks inside, and the camera follows his footsteps.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the opening ceremony of the new century!"

On the screen, Duncan spoke the opening remarks of the opening ceremony, and then said with a smile: "In the past, our science and technology continued to innovate and develop, and over hundreds of years, we experienced the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution.

In modern times, we are experiencing the third industrial revolution brought about by atomic energy, electronic computers, space technology, bioengineering and other technologies."

As Duncan began to speak on the holographic screen, the noisy citizens gradually became quiet.

"The third industrial revolution has brought to mankind not only a better life, richer entertainment products, and more information exchanges... Without leaving home, you can see the scenery all over the world from the Internet ocean! Chapter 1

The three industrial revolutions have brought so many conveniences to our lives that they can be ignored at any time, but they have also brought some subtle impacts to the world."

The square projection disappeared and was replaced by a Middle Eastern woman with messy hair, holding a little girl and sitting slumped behind a wall full of single holes.

Due to the use of holographic imaging technology, the woman and little girl outside the screen are three-dimensional. The screen rotates in a circle, using the principle of near and far, and the screen gradually shrinks, including the soldiers who are exchanging fire behind the wall and the soldiers wearing turbans.

The militants were revealed without any equipment except a gun.

The picture is not frozen, but played in slow motion.

After the effect of bullets coming out of the barrel is slowed down, it is extremely realistic and shocking with the presentation of holographic imaging technology. The difficult expressions and confused eyes on the soldiers' faces are moving, and the tears and fear in the eyes of the militants are even more disturbing.

flat.

The bullets penetrated the militants and sprayed blood onto the ground.

The screen disappeared and the square screen reappeared.

"The injustice of resources and endless greed have caused a lot of killings. You are lucky, because so far, war has not disappeared from this world, and you are in a relatively peaceful place."

Duncan's expression became extremely serious at this time, "It is undeniable that the Umbrella Company is also a profiteer of the war. The company's military industry department has provided many weapons and medicines to the soldiers, but this is definitely not the original intention of the establishment of Umbrella."

In a tall building near the square, Duncan himself stood behind the window, surrounded by Buck, the others, and the spy they had just captured.

William and Janice looked at Duncan, who had his back straight and stared at the square without blinking. The smile on his face made it impossible to detect any abnormal emotions.

It is somewhat bold to admit that the company has profited from the war, and in disguise to ridicule certain capital for provoking war outside. This is clearly a challenge to global capital!

How bold and courageous!

Should umbrella companies be said to be arrogant or confident?

In the square, pre-recorded programs are still playing.

"The original intention of the establishment of Umbrella was to make the world free from disease, war, and famine. Our former president, Dr. Isaacs, was even more worried about the future of mankind and tried to find a way to restore the earth's ecology. Unfortunately, he died in the Raccoon City crisis...

…”

Duncan in the holographic image changed his tone and said: "But now! Under a series of reform measures, Umbrella has decided to embark on a completely different path. We have formulated many long-term development plans, at the expense of all interests, for the sake of

Let mankind move towards a more glorious era! The new century is coming, and the fourth industrial revolution will be launched by the umbrella company, covering the world, and starting from the lofty and beautiful beliefs of mankind, we will create a beautiful and peaceful world!"

Bang!

The square projection shell was broken by a punch, and Duncan's life-size figure changed from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional figure and appeared in mid-air. The steps made of holographic images guided him to the bottom, where he stood on the holographic image device that was only one meter high.

Go up and point your finger towards the sky.

Dozens of drones prepared in advance arrived with holographic image components, hovered at predetermined locations, and projected various models and text introductions of technological products for citizens to understand. Each product can arouse the crowd's attention.

Shocking.

Duncan's figure on the giant holographic billboard disappeared and was replaced by a roller-shaped robot displayed with text introduction below.

[A generation of industrial intelligent robots]

"The flexible joint structure replaces rigid mechanical components and can completely replace human work. It is controlled by a fully intelligent program and the work efficiency is three times that of manual work..."

This unique opening ceremony directly demonstrated the strength of the umbrella company to the outside world, and was also a warning and counterattack to some companies.

Tell those companies clearly that even if the umbrella company does not have an energy market, it will still be strong and will not fail.

Duncan is not afraid of them being impatient. After all, business competition is at best a secret assassination and theft of information, and will not escalate to the level of sending troops to directly destroy the protective umbrella.
Chapter completed!
