Chapter 225: Fly to Oahu, Live Room Goes Online!(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)
Leaving the medical room, the group followed Lu Yu out of the headquarters building.
At this moment, on the tarmac outside, a helicopter with the Discovery Channel logo is already on standby.
Taking his backpack from a staff member's hand, Lu Yu said hello to Anna, turned to look at Chris, and smiled, "How is it?"
Chris wore an Aramco Kaji-style flight suit today, which looked unusually tall and powerful.
Listening to Lu Yu's words, this guy pretended to salute and said loudly: "Yes, sir!"
Putting on his backpack, Lu Yu smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, let's go." ”
With that, the staff of the company boarded the helicopter with him and went straight to the destination.
Normally, if you take an ordinary civil airliner, the flight from the Washington area to Oahu will take at least 5 or 6 hours, or even longer.
There are no direct flights to these two places.
Connecting flights often takes a lot of time wasted.
But if you fly non-stop, you can get to Honolulu in two or three hours.
It's just not too cool.
At this time, the advantages of having an all-round operation team are revealed.
Compared to doing everything by yourself, with the help of the team, you can really save a lot of time.
Sitting on the plane, Lu Yu took the iPad prepared by Anna and carefully studied the Chinese materials about Sunset Beach on Oahu, where the challenge took place.
As in previous days, Sunset Beach is still the most beautiful coast in the entire Hawaiian Islands.
Not even a single plant or tree has changed much.
The view is still so intoxicating.
The sun and sand are still so unique.
The only difference is that surfing doesn't belong here anymore.
It was originally a passionate beach, but because of his arrival, the appearance has changed greatly.
Countless surfers have also been completely submerged by the torrent of history and ceased to exist.
In Lu Yu's impression, the previous North Coast has always been legendary.
Not only was the culture of surfing born, but also a large number of extreme sports enthusiasts who were obsessed with fighting the waves.
As early as thousands of years ago, the ancient Polynesians invented surfing.
Surfing is an ancient culture of Polynesians.
It has even influenced Polynesian society, religion, and mythology.
You may not believe it, but the chiefs of Polynesian tribes are often the most skilled waveriders in the tribe and have the best beaches and surfboards.
At that time, the general class of people was not allowed to enter the sandy beaches of the ruling class.
But people can be promoted through good surfing skills and get these privileges.
It can be seen how fanatical this nation's love for surfing is.
And it is because of this atmosphere that the beautiful Sunset Beach has produced many water sports athletes.
Hahamoku is one of them.
In 1912, under the strong promotion of the Olympic swimming champion Hawaiian Hahamoku of Hawaii, the United States, surfing was popularized in California, USA, and then soon became popular all over the world with sparks, spawning many competitions, and even world-class surfing championships......
But in this life, all these cultures have disappeared.
Looking at the sunset beach information on the computer, Lu Yu began to involuntarily use the memories of his previous life to make various comparisons with it.
Maybe it's because of the loneliness of the North Coast.
Maybe it's because of the excitement of unlocking a brand new sport.
At this time, his mood fluctuated again.
Either way, this time he has to complete the challenge and have a hearty surfing show to show the world the danger and beauty of the North Coast, so that everyone will remember this uncharted sea with the most beautiful waves in the world!
......
As the helicopter flew away from the last continent, the sky suddenly became overcast and it began to rain lightly.
Looking out through the glass window, the vast Pacific Ocean is as black as ink, as far as the eye can see.
Sitting next to Lu Yu, Anna has been holding the walkie-talkie and communicating with the relevant staff.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the live broadcast, in addition to informing the technical staff at the headquarters to get ready, she also contacted the ground assistance staff of the Hawaii branch to ask them to prepare the RV and pick up the airport at any time.
While Anna was on the sidelines, photographer Paul was carrying his camera all the time.
The camera stayed on Lu Yu for a moment.
"Lu, I heard that your drone is very powerful, can you let me see it?"
Paul asked, squinting as he concentrated on the film.
Lu Yu looked at him and smiled, took out the drone from his backpack, and handed it to him.
Taking over this heavy round black flying machine, Paul put it in front of the camera to show it, and sighed again and again: "The texture is really good, what kind of material is this?"
"Rare titanium alloy with a layer of 5mm aerogel coated on the outermost part. ”
"What is aerogel?" asked Paul, patting it.
Lu Yu pondered for a long time, and then explained: "Aerogel is a nano-quantum-level super energy material, which is attached to the metal surface, and even bullets cannot penetrate it. ”
"Wow......"
Paul nodded like pounding garlic, and exclaimed again: "So powerful, Lu, I heard that your drone has very high pixels, and the imaging quality is also the best in the world.
Lu Yu nodded, pretending to be mysterious: "Yes, and it cost a lot of money." ”
"It's so cool. ”
As a digital technology enthusiast, Paul has always been interested in electronics.
And he is also an aerial photography enthusiast, and it seems that he has won international awards.
"Can this thing be directly connected to the live broadcast room?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "Of course." ”
"Really good, man, is there a way to buy your same style now?"
"Sorry, there shouldn't be ......"
"Uh, okay. ”
After tapping his mouth twice, Paul showed a very envious expression and handed the drone to Lu Yu's hand.
Soon, half past eight in the morning.
After the relevant preparations are over, Lu Yu's overseas live broadcast room has finally been officially opened on the official website of Discovery Channel!
In this overseas live broadcast, the problems at the network technical level are all taken care of by Douyu TV.
The Discovery Channel is just a simultaneous broadcast.
Therefore, whether it is the image quality or the number of frames, there is not much difference from the drone terminal.
Almost identical.
At this moment, on the official website of the channel, after receiving this news, countless fans rushed in for the first time.
In less than a minute, the number of real-time online users exceeded 200,000.
The barrage in the comment area, one after another, keeps scrolling:
"Excited!
"Oh my God, I've been waiting so hard!"
"Idol!When will it start?"
"What accounts did you all log in with?"
"Twitter can be authorized to log in!"
"The Discovery Channel's official website should really be optimized, and I feel uncomfortable with this interface. ”
"It's a little unfriendly, but I can only endure it in order to see my idol in person!"
Because it was the first live broadcast, there were indeed many things that needed to be improved.
But it's really good to be able to do this in a short period of time.
The gift system in the live broadcast room is similar to that of Douyu, the only difference is that the amount has become an equal amount of US dollars, and the others are basically the same.
