Chapter 309 The Biggest Lie(1/3)
With the joint confirmation of Future Technology and the space agency, when the asteroid incident was reported, it quickly attracted great attention from the above, and several major meetings were held overnight. Although no one wanted this to happen, but as long as
Be able to do your best to deal with it.
In addition, the higher-ups also gave absolute support to Xu Lei's decision to hold a global press conference and announce the news on the spot.
We will actively communicate with global forces to jointly develop solutions.
And when the news about the press conference spread, many people couldn't help but have a question in their minds?
What's going on?
The sun comes out in the west?
Mainly, everyone knows that Xu Lei has always been relatively low-key on the Internet, and he is the kind of person who goes in-depth and is brief. Even when the company holds a new product launch conference, it is basically left to his subordinates to host it.
Last time, it was because of the profound significance of the virtual helmet that I became the keynote speaker for the first time.
But now the Internet is in harmony, and Future Technology has not released any new products in the recent period. How could it suddenly hold a press conference?
Especially the ones that are globally oriented.
This is totally out of character.
As soon as the news appeared on the Internet, it aroused speculation among a large number of netizens.
Some people are even outrageous enough to say that Xu Lei may be stepping down from his position as president of Future Technology and retreating behind the scenes. In short, more and more versions are popping up in the end.
But there is no doubt that this sudden press conference for the world is not that simple.
Maybe there is something important to announce.
For this reason, reporters from domestic mainstream media rushed to Binjiang City one after another as he thought. Even journalists dispatched overseas were like cats that smelled fishy, insisting on entering the scene to get first-hand information.
Its popularity is unmatched by any star.
Of course, some people have not forgotten what day tomorrow is. Thinking that Xu Lei will hold such an unusual global press conference on April Fool's Day, the lack of guarantees is a joke he made to people around the world, although the price of this lie is a bit too high.
"Is Mr. Xu really going to step down as president and choose to retreat behind the scenes?"
"Are you kidding? Mr. Xu is only in his thirties, how can he retreat behind the scenes at this time?"
"It's not impossible. You have to know that in addition to being a future technology boss, Mr. Xu is also the youngest academician. Maybe he plans to become a scientist with peace of mind."
"Mr. Xu, how can I live without you?"
"According to Mr. Xu's character, if a global press conference is suddenly held at this time, I'm afraid things will never be simple."
"Tomorrow is April Fool's Day, and this is a joke Mr. Xu made on all of us."
"If it was really an April Fool's Day joke, then this would be the biggest lie of the century."
"Anyway, this press conference will be broadcast live online. We will know what is going on tomorrow."
…
Xu Lei naturally does not have the time or energy to understand the discussions on the Internet. When human civilization is in danger of survival, it is most important to formulate a plan to solve the asteroid impact disaster as soon as possible.
Fortunately, with Xing Tong's brain, we can get the most ideal response to the asteroid through careful calculations.
And this process doesn’t require much effort.
The key is to actually implement it but it is very difficult.
This requires the joint efforts of all mankind to twist their forces into one rope.
The next day.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Binjiang City Longhu High-tech Park.
April Fool's Day.
The conference lecture hall in the headquarters building has been prepared. Dozens of reporters from various news media around the world are gathering here, waiting for Xu Lei's arrival.
At the same time, all cameras in the conference hall were aligned with the main podium to start live broadcast.
Even though the press conference has not officially started, the barrage refresh rate in the live broadcast room has already reached its peak.
Everyone is discussing the content of this meeting.
"Coming."
"Where is I, Mr. Xu?"
"Front row."
"Who knows why this press conference was held?"
"I guess it's an April Fool's Day event."
"Are you telling me that this unprecedented large-scale battle is a joke?"
"Mr. Xu doesn't even bother to joke like this."
"It always feels like something big is happening."
And while everyone was anxiously waiting for the answer, Xu Lei in the background was sitting on a chair, letting Chen Shihe arrange his clothes.
"It's okay, Mr. Xu." Chen Shihe stood next to Xu Lei, waiting to smooth out the last wrinkle with his hands, and reminded softly.
Because Chen Shihe has been in charge of the company's business and has not participated in the projects of the research center and institute, she does not know about the asteroid at the moment, and is not even sure why Xu Lei suddenly held this global press conference.
meeting.
It's really too strange.
After working as Xu Lei's assistant for so many years, she thought she knew him well enough, but this incident made her feel frustrated.
But despite this, she still didn't ask too much.
"Is it time for the meeting?" Xu Lei stood up and asked casually.
Chen Shihe nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xu."
Hearing this, Xu Lei stopped hesitating and immediately walked towards the stage. As for Li Chengzhe, Gu Sanlin and others who were also staying backstage, they had complicated expressions when they saw this scene.
They know that soon the world will no longer be peaceful.
Everyone must do their part to prevent this disaster.
The reporters who had been waiting in the conference lecture hall for a long time finally saw Xu Lei appear and immediately swarmed forward to ask all kinds of questions.
Everyone wants to be the first to grasp the first-hand news.
If there weren't Cheng Fei and other company security personnel around to maintain order, the microphone would have hit Xu Lei's face.
"Mr. Xu, do you have any decisions to announce at this press conference today?"
"There are many rumors out there that you will step down as president and retreat to the company's behind-the-scenes management. Is this true?"
"Mr. Xu, have you ever thought about your life-long events?"
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am a reporter from Neon Country. What do you think of the online statement that holding a press conference on April Fool's Day is the biggest lie of this century?"
Xu Lei knew his mission today very well, so he didn't take the noisy environment around him to heart. He paused for more than ten seconds. After the reporters finally regained their composure, he slowly spoke out.
The real purpose of holding this global press conference.
"As this reporter said, today I am holding a global press conference in the name of future technology because I have something to announce, and this matter concerns everyone."
As Xu Lei said that he really had something big to announce, the eyes of every reporter in front of him suddenly lit up, and even the barrage in the live broadcast room temporarily disappeared.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Lei, wondering what could enable Xu Lei to hold a press conference.
"Just ten days ago, based on the observation data of the Tiangong Space Telescope, we accidentally discovered an asteroid flying at high speed near the orbit of Neptune."
"After calculation and analysis."
"This asteroid originated from the Kuiper Belt and changed its orbit due to the influence of Neptune's gravity."
"Unfortunately, it is heading towards the Earth star."
"According to careful simulation calculations, the diameter of this asteroid is about 20 kilometers. If it is not prevented, it will collide with the Earth and the planet in seven or eight years."
At this point, Xu Lei did not continue, but made a tactical pause.
After all, so much information is said at once, and others need to digest it first.
Originally, in everyone's imagination, what Xu Lei was going to announce should be related to future technology, but in the end, he brought up such a topic about a disaster for all mankind.
Many people didn't react for a while and were stunned on the spot.
There was almost no barrage refresh in the live broadcast room, and the world view was strongly impacted.
It took almost half a minute for him to finally react, and then he began to output extremely crazy words.
Although Xu Lei can't see the barrage in the live broadcast room now, he can still hear the voices of reporters in the conference report hall. They are basically surprised and unbelievable.
I even thought today’s press conference was indeed an April Fool’s joke.
"Asteroids hitting the Earth, isn't this a plot that only appears in science fiction movies?"
"Is it Mr. Xu talking about the new movie they invested in?"
