Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi

Downstairs of the Future Group building, major newspapers and media reporters clashed around. The security personnel gestured to each other, pulled up the yellow line, and guided these excited people to the right positions to prevent accidents from pushing and shoving.

Future Technology was holding a product launch conference and Jiang Chen would be present in person.

Outside the venue, one could see heavily-armed star ring trade soldiers, helicopters hovering in the air, and snipers deployed on distant buildings. Hummingbird drones were also hidden in unseen places. As far as the security level, the specification of this conference was absolutely above that of the president’s speech.

They had started to plan the conference since the beginning of the year.

From the earliest announcement that the company would enter the mobile device manufacturing industry, then to the breakthrough of graphene technology and the subsequent acquisition of the Nippon technology companies. For this day, Future Technology was long-prepared. The media and the public were having unprecendent high hope for the reveal.

What kind of groundbreaking product would they come up with? As early as the first three days before the conference began, major social media platforms and forums had already started to debate.

At the same time, to really stir things up, Future Technology revealed the frame of a black cell phone on their official website. On the face of the phone were welcoming words and under that was a clock, counting down the time till the conference. Also, Future Technology agreed to cooperate with Xin Radio and Television Station and broadcast the conference live on their official website and TV station. Finally, 100 lucky viewers would be drawn and given the price of the new phone.

Future Technology was preparing for this highly anticipated event for a very long time!

The live broadcast did not start yet, but the chat was already filled with comments.

“Hurry! My brother, I have been waiting for a week!”

“One week is nothing. I’ve been waiting since last year.”

“Like you knew anything about it the year before! Future Technology first announced this event at the beginning of last year when they decided to enter the mobile industry. If you didn’t know about it , you must be dumb!”

“…”

Behind the scene of the conference venue, Jiang Chen was in a chair, crossed his legs and looked at the official website of Future Technology through the holographic screen on his watch. He could not hide his grin. The live broadcast had not yet begun, but the number of online viewers had already jumped to 11 million and was constantly refreshing to new highs.

At the same time, the official website of Future Technology had suffered no less than 100,000 hacker attacks starting this morning. However, under the combination of artificial intelligence firewalls and quantum computing, hackers who could break the group’s defense system were yet to be born.

“Ning Huajian’s skill is really something else. The chief designer is looking forward to it.”

Xia Shiyu stood by the curtain with her arms folded and watched Jiang Chen without any nervousness, then she coughed to catch hi sattention.

“Are you ready?”

“Relax, it’s not my first time.” Jiang Chen smiled, turned off the watch’s holographic screen, stood up and looked at Xia Shiyu. “How long do I have?”

“Thirty-five minutes.”

“It seems there are still a few minutes for me to go to the bathroom.”

Waving his hand, Jiang Chen walked toward the bathroom.

…

Thirty minutes before the start of the conference, journalists and special guests were allowed to enter the venue. Thousands of square meters of the venue were suddenly crowded with the continuous flow of people. Already drilled numerous times, the staff skillfully maintained the order at the scene.

The crowd in the venue were buzzing. Before they could start, reporters did not check their speeches and instead, whispered to their peers. Looking at the bustling venue, people who unaware would have thought it was a rock concert.

Suddenly, the lights in the stands were lit and the entire venue became silent. Reporters focuesd the lenses in the center of the stage. The curtainly slowly opening made everyone held their breathe.

The lights gathered toward the center. Jiang Chen stepped out from behind the curtains and stood in front of the stage with thunderous applause and cheers.

Behind, Future Technology’s giant logo flashed on the screen. With his opening speech, numerous light particles spread out on the screen and staggered into the twelve languages.

Real-time translation!

One of the Future Technology’s hidden technology!

“I would like to extend my gratitude for all the reporters and special guests making the visit, and for the viewers watching the live broadcast on through the livestream and on TV. Thank you for your continued support and expectations for Future Technology. Please believe me, I will live up to your expectations.” Jiang Chen said the opening remarks with a smile.

Standing in the background, Xia Shiyu was holding her breath.

Just a short span of two minutes, the number of online viewers on the official website exceeded 100 million!

Looking at the pairs of eager eyes below the stage, and their gazes full of anticipation, Jiang Chen intentionally paused for two seconds and immediately extended his hand, with a bright smile, he said, “Future.”

When Jiang Chen saidthis word, the reporters were obviously surprised. He did not understand what he meant. It wasn’t until the beam of light gathered in Jiang Chen’s hands did they see the piece of paper.

Yes, it was like a piece of paper.

When Jiang Chen said the word, the phone named “Future” also revealed on the screen. Its parameters such as thickness, length, width, pixel, CPU, etc., surprised everyone so much that their eyeballs almost popped out.

0.1mm!

Almost only the thickness of one piece of paper!

This really is a cell phone? !

Everyone’s minds circled around the same idea.

This is unscientific!

However, in the following moment, Jiang Chen proved to them with practical actions the real science.

After most people saw this scene, they all came up with the same question in their minds, no matter if they were at the venue or watching the conference live from Future’s official website.

However, the audience did not ponder too long on this issue. Jiang Chen soon answered their question.

“I know what you are worried about. Such as if you would lose this cell phone forever if you dropped it on the ground. Next I will tell you that your concern is completely redundant.”

Saying this, Jiang Chen bent down and picked up the “paper” from the ground and shook it in front of the audience.

“When the phone enters standby mode, the fluorescent material built into the graphene material will outline the phone screen with lines and display the time in the center of the screen. Of course, if you don’t like it displaying the time, you can also change this function in the settings.”

Holding up “Future” phone, in the incredible exclamation of everyone, Jiang Chen folded it into a circular arc to show people its powerful shaping function.

“The graphene material is very soft. You can bend it into a circle and put it on your wrist like a watch. You can also fold it into a purse, roll it up and pack it into a cigarette box, or even fold it into a paper plane and throw it. If you have neighbors… Of course, I don’t recommend you do this.”

Friendly laughter came from the audience.

At this point, everyone thought that the function of this first graphene cell phone had already been introduced. Some reporters was already taking notes, and they were also contemplating what questions to ask later. Based on the arbitrary folding function, this mobile phone could already be worthy of the title of “Future”, and was also worthy of the expectations of countless people that waited for almost a year.

However, when everyone thought that was it, Jiang Chen smiled and opened his mouth again.

“However, these functions are not the focus I intend to introduce today.”

Jiang Chen mysteriously smiled, then rolled the Future phone onto his wrist like a bracelet.

His demeanor was like that of a magician.

“Next, we will witness miracles!”
