Chapter 373: Press Conference

Hui City, Central Square.

The killers that have been rampant in the city for as long as people can remember are gradually being outlawed, and Huicheng is very different from what it used to be. In the past, the vitality of the whole city dropped a lot at night, but now city life can't wait to start at night. It's as if people's long-standing fear of the night has finally dissipated, causing some kind of backlash, and Huicheng seems to have a tendency to develop towards the city that never sleeps.

This is especially true today.

Because in the central square of Huicheng, there is a grand event that the whole city has watched today.

Even though it was past 11 o'clock in the evening, the square was still crowded. Enthusiastic people pushed and crowded, and the whole street was bustling with activity. Among them, it is particularly conspicuous that several hardcore cos experts, who have made a bulky Iron Man armor purely by hand, walked on the street sweating profusely, attracting pedestrians to stop and cheer while taking out their mobile phones to take pictures.

There are even people walking on the street wearing Iron Man red and gold-themed T-shirts or coats, and there are children 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 today, reveling for change.

Iron Man has not been in front of the world for too long, but the changes he has brought are earth-shaking. From civilization as a whole to all aspects of life. Now new energy vehicles and new concept subways have appeared on the road. Smartphones have been replaced by Stark products, and holographic projection has become more and more ubiquitous in big cities.

Even in some large shopping malls, you have the opportunity to draw a floating screen full of sci-fi when you swipe into the air.

Benefits and conveniences are secondary, and the cult of the Avengers has reached its peak after the alien crisis has passed. Nowadays, Iron Man has become synonymous with technology, and even has the posture to become a world leader.

Today is a small press conference. Stark-related products are now all over the place, and there are some gadget launches in various cities from time to time. Today's session was chaired by Professor Peng from the Star Technology Committee.

At this time, a statue of Iron Man had been placed in the venue. The black bronze statue is exquisitely crafted and the details are lifelike. Two days ago, it was brought to the venue for the event, and at this time it was surrounded by people taking group photos.

Detective Luo Yajun was standing not far away, leaning against the railing outside the crowd and smoking. He looked at the eager people surrounding the sculpture from a distance, and couldn't help but smile softly for a moment.

"Incredible, isn't it?"

The voice drew him back. An old man with white hair and a rather sturdy body was standing there, looking at him with a smile. Luo Yajun recognized this as Professor Peng, who was presiding over today.

Although this professor is not a member of the Ninth Division, he has also cooperated with the Nine Divisions because of his membership in the Star Technical Committee. He was one of the fastest-to-accept professionals in Stark's reshuffle of the energy industry, and he has a significant voice in energy technology and several other related fields, making him an extraordinary figure.

Although Professor Peng was talking to Luo Yajun, his eyes kept falling on the tall Iron Man across the crowd, and said, "I mean they, superheroes from outside the sky.

Easily changed everything and transformed the world...... That's the power of technology, isn't it? We have always believed in something that our people are steadfast on the path.

They just showed us the future and made us more convinced that it was the right thing to do. Technology and creativity are the power to open up the future. ”

Luo Yajun was stunned for a moment. But he thought that this old man had dedicated his life to science, and now he saw with his own eyes the prosperity that he thought would be difficult to see in this life, and it was all thanks to the science and technology he believed in, and he inevitably felt it.

So he replied, "Yes." ”

After a pause, he took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I've been waiting for most of my life, and finally this world is finally starting to go in the right direction." ”

"Is it the right direction?"

The old man smiled meaningfully and said, "Then in Agent Luo's opinion, what is the right direction?" ”

Luo Yajun was stunned again, and said without much thought: "The axiom can be upheld, and people can go out and walk at night with confidence." No more oppression, no more bullying, everyone can live their lives with peace of mind, and it is naturally right. ”

"Really?"

Professor Peng smiled again, but he didn't answer or comment on anything, only said, "It's about to open, and I have to get ready to go up and speak." I hope Agent Luo has a good time here. ”

After saying it inexplicably, he walked away.

"Blame the old man." Luo Yajun shrugged and replaced himself with a new cigarette.

Organizers may have underestimated the enthusiasm for the event, with the huge venue almost packed, and the entrances still wanting to enter.

A hooded teenager followed the group to the door. There are metal detectors at the entrance of the venue and security guards behind the doors. It's just that the flow of people is too large, and the security guards are sweating profusely and can't cope with it.

The boy walked past the metal detector, and the device gave a safe sound. He stopped in front of the security guard, who picked up three different devices, including the source scanner, and swept them over him, and after giving the result of "safe" respectively, he waved his hand to signal the boy to go over, and immediately dealt with the next person.

It is impossible for the human eye to see, but two drones are also hanging over the venue. Stealth mode completely obscures their form, and they fly silently over the heads of the noisy crowd like ghost guards.

The invisible camera of one of the machines also swayed over the hooded boy, and the scanner scanned all the way along the crowd, and several avatars recognized on the side of the built-in screen popped out one after another, each marked with the sign "Safety" next to it.

The boy walked to the side of the rostrum and mixed into a relatively forward position. He pressed the brim of his hood so low that it obscured half of his face, but the shadow of the brim made a sharp sight that locked straight onto the stage.

Professor Peng soon took the stage. He coughed into the microphone and said, "It's nice to see so many enthusiastic faces today." I'm sure you all know today's topic and where the miracles we have today come from.

Technology – and I've always believed in it – is a ray of light. Just as our ancestors did when they first obtained the fire, it has guided us forward and given us strength for thousands of years......"

"."

The hooded boy said in a deep voice. But his voice was silent, everyone's attention was on the podium, and no one paid attention to him.

Until his eyes under the hood lit up like ghostly fire, and his arms were wrapped around dark blue beams of light, like water snakes of energy.

The next moment.

The roof of the venue was blown up into the sky.
