738 Penglai City Completion (1/2)

On February 1, 2018, Walmart and Future Technology jointly organized the first VR product exhibition in the world.

During the four months duration, hundreds of thousands of products were exhibited on stage, covering small crafts, large-scale electromechanics, clothing, food, and housing with more than 76,000 exhibitors participating.

One of the most eye-catching items was the Mercedes-Benz S750e launched by the Daimler Group. The vehicle used a wireless rechargeable solid-state lithium-air battery designed by Future Heavy Industries with a powerful and aesthetically pleasing design. Although not specifically an auto show, the advanced technology was always eye-catching. Many ordinary tourists who could not afford to buy cars experienced it in the virtual world. Therefore, the Daimler Group's Mercedes-Benz S750e has successfully set a record for the highest number of visits.

In addition, the exhibition with the highest technological content would undoubtedly be the products from Future Heavy Industrial such as the improvement of housework robots, Dragon Calvary X1 supercomputing chips, Dark Blue M1... In the first day of the exhibition, Future Heavy Industrial received a value of 5 billion US dollars in orders.

According to data released by Future Group after the incident, in the first month of the global product exhibition, the total turnover easily exceeded $20 billion. With this trend continuing, this year's Global Merchandise Exhibition would easily break their turnover record.

After attending the opening ceremony of this grand event, Jiang Chen took off his helmet.

Although he was the ”founder” of the virtual reality network, he himself enjoyed the feeling of living in reality. As the president of the group, he just needed to read the opening speech written by the secretary and shake hands with representatives of major companies at the opening ceremony.

Ayesha shaved for him and then Jiang Chen put on a casual outfit before heading out.

Today was an important day, not only the opening ceremony of the VR Global Merchandise Exhibition, but also the completion ceremony of Penglai City.

...

On the sea north of Coro Island, two Guardian-class frigates that have been upgraded with electromagnetic pulse cannons have been patrolling the target sea area accompanied by Kilo-class submarines. A dozen large engineering ships lined up along the edge of the construction seas, forming a loose circle.

Countless large and small yachts lined up. Some of them were wealthy tourists coming to Coro Island, some were investors or immigrants who have purchased real estate in Penglai City, and some were reporters invited by Future Group.

The Black Eagle helicopters belonged to Celestial Trade. The hovered above the sea and carried staff to perform the final inspection of the construction site. Aurora-20 suddenly broke through the clouds and whistled past, attracting the cheers and whistles of tourists and reporters.

The weather was lovely with no signs of a storm in the radius of a hundred miles, a good day to hold the completion ceremony.

On a cruise ship, tourists in beachwears and bikinis leaned against the railing and looked out at the calm sea.

”Sh*t, that fighter is so cool!”

”I heard it is called Aurora-20. I don't know, is it better than the F35.”

”I'm more concerned about Penglai City. If I haven't got the wrong date, it should be today.”

”A city on the sea, Atlantis of the East sounds really romantic. Dear, can we live there later?”

”Okay, baby, whatever you say... if Future Group doesn't bounce on us.”

”Look! The sea is moving!”

With a loud exclamation, everyone stopped their chitchatting and looked intently in the direction of the sea.

Yes, the sea was moving!

Large bubbles emerged from the bottom of the ocean, the turbid air bubbles covered dozens of miles of the sea, defeating even the rolling waves. After two minutes, the tumbling air bubbles stopped. The sea level suddenly rose, and a hill that was hundreds of meters in radius emerged.

Afterwards, the seawater spread around, and the ships and yachts in the outer ring were like leaves in a storm, pushed away by the sea waves that rose suddenly! Ships closer were even tilted at a 45° angle!

”That boat! The boat is going to fall!” A tourist shrank to the edge of the cabin and shouted.

”Why are you shouting?! There is no leak and no rollover. Shut up!”

”Look! Look over there! The city of Penglai is coming out!”
