The press conference was held as scheduled.

As expected, only a few small newspapers sent reporters after the official opening. The British newspaper "Lace" is actually the most formal media among them. There are also several small website journalists and even bloggers.

Li Quan treated them equally, and asked people to invite all these foreigners into the press conference hall.

As far as the eye can see, the entire hall can hold hundreds of reporters, but at the moment it seems deserted, lonely, and there is not even a single camera.

Li Quan said that he didn't care at all, it was impossible. He is also angry in his heart, those large formal media don't take him seriously at all, this can't blame the other party for being blind, I can only say that this is the reality. But he was still a little unhappy in his heart, what he came up with today was something that would change the world, but few people paid attention to it.

"After the press conference today, when the dust settles, let those people regret going." Li Quan snorted in his heart.

When the time came, Pete took the stage and announced the official start of the press conference in short words. "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Li Quan, President of the Heart of the Forest Company and legal person, to take the stage." There was a sudden burst of applause or two below.

Li Quan wore a suit today. It's better to dress more formally for formal occasions. When he walked up to the stage, he stood in front of the microphone and cleared his throat. "Thank you for coming. Heart of the Forest is a newly established company, and obviously, our reputation is not well known to most people. But this situation will not last long, and it will not be long before the name Heart of the Forest will be known to the whole world. ”

Li Quan's bold words did not impress the sleepy reporters below.

Li Quan glanced at the empty seats in the audience, snorted, and took out a sealed sample from his arms, which was the Super Microphone.

"Look, this is the super wheat that our company is going to release. You should have some understanding of its data before. Here, I will give you a detailed description. This super wheat is a major breakthrough made by our company's biological laboratory after years of research. Its theoretical yield is more than 6 times that of standard wheat, and the actual yield will be higher than this. Its growth cycle is 75% shorter than that of standard wheat, and yes, you heard it right, it's only a quarter of that of regular wheat! And its growth rate is faster than that of ordinary standard wheat. They allow it to grow 14 times faster than normal wheat. The total production capacity of super wheat will be 112 times that of existing ordinary wheat! ”

The reporters below listened to it and did not react.

They all looked like they were about to fall asleep.

Li Quan paused, sighed, and continued: "In addition, this super wheat also has a strong ability to resist drought, cold, heat, and insect pests. Its genes are one in a hundred. It does not have any special needs for the growing environment at all, and can be planted universally in various climatic zones. We will be the first to pilot planting in Africa, and we will fully demonstrate its ability to withstand drought and heat. ”

There was a reporter who made a note in his notebook, and it was the tabloid reporter from England named William.

This made Li Quan a little more excited, at least he would no longer feel like a drama clown standing on the stage.

"Well, I know people don't believe it. However, at the moment I am sure I am not able to prove to you the authenticity and accuracy of this data. But I can tell you that it won't be long before the real data will be shown to you through actual planting. So, let's move on to the next part. ”

As soon as Li Quan's voice fell, several staff members came up from the stage, and they pushed a machine up from the backstage. I saw that this machine was about 1.5 meters high, exuding a silver-white metallic luster, and it was a wheat field puppet.

The crop puppet brought back from Azeroth has a strong steampunk style, rough and full of violent aesthetics, which does not quite fit the "high-tech" style that Li Quan wants. So he asked someone to polish and polish the crop puppet and plug it with a layer of bright metal, so that it really looked a bit sci-fi.

When the following reporters saw this strangely shaped and sci-fi machine, the reporters suddenly became a lot more energetic, straightened up one after another, looked intently at the stage, and waited for Li Quan's explanation. In their opinion, such a robot that looks a little doorway is better than the Asian boy on stage who looks like an underage holding a straw and foaming at the mouth.

Li Quan had no idea that he had been defined. "Let me introduce to you, POOP-R7-PLUS, a fully automated, all-weather intelligent planting robot!" Li Quan extended his hand to the wheat field puppet and introduced, "This robot is also the latest research and development result of our laboratory under the Heart of the Forest Company, it covers the most cutting-edge technology in many fields, and has independent intellectual property rights - we have submitted a patent application to the patent department of the Republic of Burundi and it has been approved." This machine can do automatic sowing operations on large areas of land without supervision, intelligent quantitative watering operations, as well as regular weeding, intelligent identification of crops and weeds, etc., and it can act as a scarecrow, intelligently repel insects and birds, and finally, it can also perfectly replace the combine harvester, and harvest up to thousands of crops perfectly. Now, take a look—"

Li Quan nodded to the staff, and several of them pressed twice on the wheat field puppet, and then stepped aside. I saw Li Quan step forward, stand in front of the wheat field puppet, and said lightly: "Take a step forward." ”

The reporters below all showed surprised expressions when they heard this. Li Quan is issuing orders to the wheat field puppets! The reporters wondered, could it be that this machine was voice-controlled?

Then they saw that the crop puppet had actually taken a step forward and then came to a steady stop.

This scene made the reporters' eyes light up, as if they had discovered a new continent.

Li Quan smiled faintly, and then issued another order: "Go around the field, and then walk in circles in place." ”

The wheat field puppet really started to run on the press conference platform immediately, and the multi-ton robot rumbled up, shaking the rumbling on the table, and after running a circle, it immediately returned to Li Quan and began to do the complex action of stepping and turning in circles.

"As you can see, this machine can be completely controlled by words, and it can do all the instructions you give, including moving exactly to a certain place, following the program to sow seeds, sprinkling water, harvesting, and so on. Inside, it is equipped with several sophisticated cameras capable of facial recognition and terrain recognition. It is powered by a rechargeable battery that can sustain 2,000 hours of uninterrupted operation on a single charge. All in all, it can do anything a healthy farmer can do! ”

In fact, the crop golem doesn't have any cameras inside it, but it can really recognize faces and terrain, and who knows how it does it, ask the dwarf engineers in Azeroth. Maybe it's magic?

"How much does it sell? Mr. "Some reporters can't help but ask questions.

"It's not decided yet. But I can assure you that it's definitely cheaper than if you hired a full-time farmer. Li Quan replied with a smile.

The faces of the reporters in the audience were all flushed, and they were very excited. They all felt that they were really crooked this time, and they had come to the right place! I found a treasure this time. This planting robot is the real news of this press conference, and it's still big news! If nothing else, let's just talk about the flexibility, accurate voice recognition and venue recognition technology displayed by this seemingly bulky machine on the stage, which alone is not something that a boring company with an unknown name can develop and manufacture.

At least, they haven't heard of any company other than the U.S. military capable of creating such a sophisticated robot.

It was amazing and unexpected!

If what the young Asian president on stage said was true, it would be amazing...... Can you completely replace the farmer in farming? What does this mean? This not only means that 90% of the world's farmers will lose their jobs completely, but also means that a new era for humanity is dawning!

They may still have doubts about the parameters of the super microphone, but the performance of the crop puppet in front of them has made these reporters half convinced. They were eager to get more information and specific figures, and even how the machine would perform in the actual growing environment, and then send them back to China as a draft.

Like everyone else, William felt that he had picked up a treasure, he just wanted to come out and relax before he came, but he didn't expect to get such a big news! Once this manuscript is sent, let alone the "Lace Newspaper" where he works, even the "Times" will publish it. William's face flushed with excitement.

Reporters scrambled to raise their hands to ask questions, all about the specific performance of the crop puppet, parameters, and so on. This makes Li Quan quite helpless, obviously Super Micro is the protagonist, okay? I don't want to pay attention to the crop puppets.

The launch was a great success. Except for non-famous reporters from some small newspapers, all other links were carried out in accordance with Li Quan's plan.

"Now that the news of Super McWheat and the crop puppet has been released, let's see what people all over the world say." He thought.

Immediately after the press conference, Li Quan generously said that he would provide comfortable accommodation for these people, and that the Heart of the Forest Company would talk and reimburse them for their travel expenses. This was immediately unanimously appreciated by several journalists. In addition, to the surprise of these reporters, Li Quan also prepared a small gift for them, each reporter gave a crazy X, as a little reward for these reporters who only came. Immediately, the tabloid reporters' favorability towards Li Quan skyrocketed.

Reports were soon published.

However, because the influence of these small newspapers is really limited, the newspapers have not attracted much attention after they were published. On the contrary, it is a blogger's blog that attracts more people's attention.

The blogger used text and a few high-resolution pictures to record the shock of the crop puppet at the press conference. And expressed his admiration for the heart of the forest company in a very exaggerated tone - the credit of Love Crazy X.

This blogger's blog is also well-known in the tech world, and he often reports on some cutting-edge information about science and technology. This time he came to Burundi to decide to try his luck, but he didn't expect to let him run into it.

With a few small newspapers, a few small websites, and a few blogs publishing news one after another, the news conference that took place in Burundi, a small African country, was quickly released to people all over the world in this information age.

As time passed, the news inevitably began to ferment. More and more people are aware of the news. Behind this, Li Quan naturally took gold to open the way and hired the participation of the water army. As a result, first on the Internet, many people began to discuss this press conference enthusiastically, especially the wheat field puppet who paid the most attention.

Of course, the most of them are still skeptical voices.

After all, there was no reporter video at the scene at that time, and the only few photos that leaked were not convincing. But in the final analysis, it is Li Quan's parameters of superwheat and wheat field puppets that are too exaggerated in the eyes of the world.

What the hell is that exaggerated yield?

What the hell is the continuous operation time of the machine?

In the days that followed, the news began to ferment rapidly, and more and more formal media began to report on the matter.

CNN wrote on its website with a huge headline: "Catchers in the Rye Fields of Africa? Is it gimmick hype? Or grandstanding? CNN criticized the tabloid reporters and the originators of the news in an extremely caustic tone, and criticized the previous press conference as "unethical hype."

The BBC then also posted, saying in a mocking and bitter tone: "Heart of the Forest has released their 'great' invention that has 'crossed the ages', leaving the world's robotics practitioners with no face." ”

The Times said: "Sources from Africa have revealed the emergence of a superwheat solution to the world's hunger puzzle, yielding a staggering 35 tonnes per acre. The overall production capacity has reached hundreds of times that of normal wheat. Whether the news is true or not is debatable. However, it is undeniable that it is extremely irresponsible to disseminate such information wantonly. ”

The Sun: "Burundi is a poor country in East Africa that has been recognized by the United Nations as a ...... least developed country since the 60s"

The Guardian: "Why is an Asian face in charge of an African country, an African-based tech company?" Is there any ulterior conspiracy in this......"

CCTV Entertainment Section: "The Korean people believe that the four major inventions were invented by Koreans. In this regard, the expert said......"

South Korea's Chosun Ilbo: "We have reason to believe that such a machine is absolutely impossible to exist, and even the Republic of Korea has not yet built it, how can a small country like Africa build a machine with such parameters." It's ridiculous. ”

Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun: "Funny jumping clown! Shameful rumor-mongers! They must apologize to the whole world! ”

A mobile phone factory weakly said: "This is the infringement of Chiguoguo......

Either way, it seems, the world's voices believe that the announcement of the press conference is an unrealistic lie. This made Li Quan speechless, but it was reasonable and expected.

His solution was straightforward: keep making a big deal.
