The killers who have been rampant in the city for as long as people can remember have been gradually outlawed, and Huicheng is very different from the past. In the past, the vitality of the entire city dropped a lot at night, but now city life can't wait to start until night
.It’s as if people’s long-standing fear of the night has finally dissipated, causing some kind of backlash. Huicheng seems to be developing into a city that never sleeps.
This is especially true today.
Because in the central square of Huicheng, there is a grand event that attracts the attention of the whole city today.
Even though it was past eleven o'clock at night, the square was still crowded with people. Enthusiastic people were pushing and shoving, and the whole street was very lively. Among them, the most eye-catching ones were several hard-core cos masters, who made and spliced them purely by hand.
Wearing a bulky Iron Man armor and sweating profusely, he walked down the street, causing pedestrians to stop and cheer while taking out their cell phones to take photos.
There are even people walking down the street wearing Iron Man red and gold themed T-shirts or jackets, and some children are wearing somewhat funny big-headed Iron Man helmets. You can see today's theme from almost all parts of the street.
iron Man.
That's what they're here for today, celebrating change.
Iron Man has not appeared in front of the world for too long, but it has brought about earth-shaking changes. From civilization as a whole to all aspects of life. Now there are new energy vehicles and new concept subways on the road. Smartphones have been replaced by Stark
Product replacement, holographic projection screens have become more and more ubiquitous in big cities.
Even in some large shopping malls, if you swipe in the air, you may have a chance to create a floating screen full of science fiction.
Various benefits and conveniences are secondary, and the worship of the Avengers reached its peak after the alien crisis. Now Iron Man has become synonymous with technology, and even has the potential to become a world leader.
Today is a small press conference. Stark-related products are now spread all over the world, and cities will hold launch events for gadgets from time to time. Today’s event was hosted by Professor Peng from the Star Technology Committee.
A statue of Iron Man has been placed in the venue. The black copper statue has exquisite workmanship and lifelike details. It was brought to the venue for the event two days ago, and it was already surrounded by people taking photos.
Agent Luo Yajun was standing not far away, smoking against the railing outside the crowd. He looked at the eager people surrounding the sculpture from a distance and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Incredible, isn't it?"
The voice made him turn his head. An old man with white hair and a strong body was standing there, looking at him with a smile. Luo Yajun recognized this as Professor Peng, who was hosting today.
Although this professor is not a member of Secret Service Branch 9, he has cooperated with Branch 9 because he is on the Starry Sky Technical Committee. He is one of the professionals who accepted the most quickly after Stark reshuffled the energy industry.
He has a major voice in technology and several other related fields. He is indeed an extraordinary figure.
Although Professor Peng was talking to Luo Yajun, his eyes kept looking across the crowd and fell on the tall and unyielding Iron Man, and said: "I mean them, superheroes from outer space.
Easily changing everything and transforming the world... This is the power of technology, isn't it? What we have always believed in, the unswerving path of those of us.
They just showed us the future, letting us know more firmly that this is the right thing. Technology and creativity are the forces that open up the future."
Luo Yajun was stunned for a moment. But he thought that this old man had devoted his whole life to science, and now he saw with his own eyes a prosperous age that he thought would be rare to see in this life, and it was all thanks to the technology he believed in. It was inevitable that he would be inspired.
So he responded: "Yes."
After a pause, he took a puff of cigarette and said, "I've been waiting for most of my life, and finally this fucked-up world has finally begun to move in the right direction."
"Right direction?"
The old man smiled meaningfully and said, "In Agent Luo's opinion, what is the right direction?"
Luo Yajun was startled again, and said without much thought: "Justice can be upheld, and people can go out and walk at night with confidence. There will be no more oppression, no more bullying, and everyone can live their lives with peace of mind. Naturally,
Correct."
"Is it?"
Professor Peng smiled again, but did not answer or comment. He only said: "The opening is about to begin, old man, I have to prepare to go up and give a speech. I hope Agent Luo has a good time here."
After speaking inexplicably, he immediately walked away.
"It's weird old man." Luo Yajun shrugged and put on a new cigarette.
The organizers may have underestimated people's enthusiasm for the event. The huge venue was almost full, but there were still people wanting to come in at each entrance.
A hooded teenager followed the team to the door. There was a metal detector at the entrance of the venue, and there were security guards standing guard behind the door. However, the flow of people was so heavy that the security guards, sweating profusely, couldn't handle it.
The boy walked through the metal detector, and the instrument gave a safety prompt. He stopped in front of the security guard. The security guard picked up three different devices, including an infection source scanner, and scanned his body, giving "
After receiving the result "Safe", he waved his hand for the young man to go over, and then immediately dealt with the next person.
Invisible to the human eye, there were two drones hanging above the venue at the same time. The stealth mode completely obscured their figures, and they flew silently over the noisy crowd like ghost guards.
The invisible lens of one of the machines also swung past the hooded boy. The scanner scanned along the crowd. Several avatars identified on one side of the built-in screen popped up one after another, with "safety" signs marked next to them.
The young man walked to the rostrum and got into a position relatively close to the front. He lowered the brim of his hood, blocking half of his face, but his sharp sight clearly shot out from the shadow of the brim, which was locked on the stage.
.
Professor Peng soon took the stage. He coughed into the microphone and said: "I'm glad to see so many enthusiastic faces today. I believe everyone knows today's theme and where the miracles we have today come from.
.
Technology - I have always firmly believed - is a beam of light. Just like when our ancestors first obtained fire, it has guided us forward and given us strength for thousands of years..."
"What nonsense."
The hooded boy spoke in a low voice. But his voice was silent. Everyone's attention was on the podium, and no one paid attention to him.
Until his eyes under his hood lit up like will-o'-the-wisps, and his arms were wrapped with faint blue beams of light, like water snakes of energy.
