Chapter 440: The First Space Expo
On August 22, 2028, two months have passed since the developer conference.
Taoling Town.
An electric bus was driving on the road in Taoling Town. More than half of the passengers on the bus were tourists from other places, and there were also a large number of foreigners.
In a double row of seats in the car, an excited little boy sat next to the car window and looked at the view outside the car. His T-shirt was printed with an image of an astronaut in space. A young man sat next to him. They were brothers, with a ten-year age difference, one elementary school student and one college student.
"How big will the Space Expo be?" the little boy asked his brother.
"It's super big." My brother said perfunctorily.
"Will there be aliens coming?" the little boy asked again.
"What does that matter?" the brother said, then he chatted with a foreign student in China who claimed to be from Hungary, who was sitting behind, and soon started a hot chat. Obviously, the brothers' interests were completely incompatible.
The little boy looked at his brother and ignored him, and hugged his little hand and his little face. Then he threatened with an unhappy look: "I want to tell Sister Xiaoli that you dare to pick up girls with him on your back, a foreign girl."
The old man who was about to add WeChat was so scared that he almost threw the Huasheng phone in his hand. Then he glared at Brother Yan and coaxed him: "What do you know little brat? I'm communicating with foreign friends to exercise my foreign language. If you want to talk nonsense, be careful I will beat you up."
"Don't think we're easy to fool after 2000..."
A painful summer vacation!
The little boy's brother moaned for a moment without any illness in his heart and had to start coaxing him.
After the song episode, the bus arrived at the station and stopped. The little boy's brother stood up and shook his hand and put a baseball cap on his brother's head. He said angrily: "Let's go, little dear, take you to meet aliens."
The little boy immediately became excited when he heard this. When he got off the car, the eldest brother still held his younger brother's hand consciously. There were so many people around him.
Today is the first day of the first Space Expo, located in the center of Taoling Town. This grand event in the aerospace industry also attracts the arrival of aerospace enthusiasts from all over the world.
Speaking of this small town, Taoling Town has undergone earth-shaking changes in just ten years. The population of the town was only ten thousand ten years ago, but now it has reached a huge scale of 1.65 million, comparable to small and medium-sized cities. Some cities even feel inferior. You should know that there are only more than 160 cities with a population of more than one million nationwide.
Ten years ago, I was still calling for poverty alleviation, but ten years later I became a first-tier developed town in the country.
All this was just because Huasheng Technology Headquarters was located in Taoling ten years ago, which completely changed the landscape of this area. For the locals in Taoling Town, the appearance of the ten years ago is still vivid in their minds, but ten years later it has changed.
Taoling Town has also become the only developed town in the country with a very minority of local population. 90% of the population is outsiders, and foreigners are also common. You will definitely see a foreigner within five minutes of walking on the street. This is the current situation in Taoling Town.
It is no exaggeration to say that the prosperity of Taoling Town was completely forced by Huasheng Technology. This town is now extremely famous around the world and has developed extremely rapidly, because investors are very optimistic about the future of this town. With two decades, it is very likely to become the next Shenzhen. Local housing prices are also being speculated higher and higher, which is inevitable.
With such a good start to Taoling, the local government has also established a gene for the city, which is to encourage high-tech industries and vigorously develop the tertiary industry, which is mainly service industry. So when you come to Taoling, you will find that the air here is still like ten years, and the green waters and green mountains are still there.
Because there is no industrial pollution, Taoling's largest industrial base is also in the huge Huasheng Technology Headquarters. This company is a big money-free company. Some industrial sewage can be directly discharged into Donghu and Guanling River after treatment. Other companies want to build factories in Taoling Town. Yes, sewage discharge and air pollution emissions must meet the standards, otherwise the factory will definitely be sealed.
Along the way, the little boy and his brother went straight to the destination - the Expo Center.
After two months of arrangement, this grand event for aerospace and space enthusiasts officially opened today.
"The space station designated professional drinking water? This is the reason why a bottle of blown water is sold for 6.5 yuan? Pit!" The young man looked at a bottle of pure water he just bought in a small store, and when he saw the slogan on it, he felt very distressed...
During the expo, the themes of the entire Taoling Town were almost related to space, and some local businesses tried their best to find ways to relate to the current theme.
Even tourists can buy a pack of space version of Weilong spicy strips here, but it costs six yuan. Damn, these merchants are all "geniuses" who are taking advantage of the popularity. The 50 cents pack of spicy strips instantly increased their value, and they were crazy about money.
But one thing is not bad. At least everything is marked with a clear price, and you won’t secretly cheat people and forcefully sell. To put it bluntly, you are willing to fight and be willing to get the best. The selling point is to be fresh and get the popularity.
Because this hot strip is a special product in space, it is sold for six yuan!
During the expo, Taoling had all kinds of fun things. While some outdoor anchors and self-media came to visit the space expo, they also posted fresh and fun things here on their own self-media platforms to attract popularity. For example, the space version of Weilong Lazhai, which is only available in Taoling, became popular online, and the lazhai can actually be linked to the high-end space. Netizens said that Weilong is also an advertising genius.
"This is a reporter from Beijing Youth Network who reports in Taoling Town. The first global space expo hosted by Huasheng Technology opened today. Friends who were unable to come to the scene may feel regretful, but it doesn't matter, because the expo will last for half a year..."
On the other side, the little boy passing by looked curiously at a reporter reporting to the camera, but his brother led him to the entrance of the fair, and the little boy was immediately attracted by other scenes.
“Welcome to Taoling Town, Space House!”
The little boy heard the guide's words and looked at the entrance to the expo, and his big eyes immediately became brighter.
"Please follow the team and pay more attention to safety. We have seen the gate of the central exhibition area."
The guide once again emphasized to the team that the exhibition area of the expo is so popular, and the flow of people in Taoling Town has also reached a new peak today.
"Everyone must follow the relevant regulations of the exhibition area."
Entering the exhibition area, the little boy let go of his brother's hand, but his brother quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Hey, if you don't want me to go to the police station to find you, please follow me?"
To be honest, it was all because of my mother that I came here this time. I hope to bring my younger brother to satisfy his wish. For the little boy's elder brother, there is really no interest here. If you can't date, you might as well lie down on the bed and look at your phone.
"Oh..." The little boy lowered his head helplessly. When the old man saw his younger brother who looked depressed and lost, he knew that his younger brother's hobby since childhood was to dream of space. After thinking about it, he decided to take care of the seed that had been passionate about space exploration since childhood and could not be killed. Maybe he was the future genius scientist. Although it was boring, he pretended to be very happy.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see something fun." The old man said and pulled his brother out of the team.
"Hey you guys..." The guide was furious and had no choice but to watch them both leave the army.
The 19-year-old young man brought the little boy into the main exhibition hall, and the two immediately heard a voice coming from the hall: "Welcome to the Innovation Center and enjoy the charm of the times and technology."
“Wow…”
The little boy entered this large exhibition hall as if he had discovered a new world. There were crowds of people in the exhibition hall, and the huge screens and projections floating high in the air were the naked-eye augmented reality technology from Jusoon Technology.
At the top of the center of the exhibition hall, what is floating is the equal-scale simulated projection screen of the "Shipengtian" space station, which is extremely shocking.
