Chapter 72 1/2

It’s no wonder they found this scene so magical. Indeed, there was more than just a tent area in front of them.

Externally cool, the large black mechanical dogs with long limbs exuded a mechanical sense of power and beauty. They carried heavy supplies on their backs, faithfully and steadily transporting them.

In front of them, there was a strange, red, truck-sized vehicle with a large red area that made it particularly eye-catching. The most eye-catching part was the smooth lines and the four long mechanical arms extending in all directions.

The large, solid black tread wheels made its chassis exceptionally heavy, allowing its four mechanical arms to withstand tremendous force. In just half a minute, it effortlessly cleared a large batch of “empty space.”

After this large red vehicle finished clearing, a smaller black vehicle, about three sizes smaller, followed. It had only two mechanical arms, with the front arm sweeping away any remaining small stones or soil and the rear arm evenly spreading fine soil.

The black vehicle drove away, and three even smaller green cars appeared. They had only one mechanical arm each, resembling an extended, heavy steel plate. As these green cars moved forward, they continuously pressed the heavy steel plates onto the ground, turning them into a comfortable and smooth “surface.”

Thus, an environment suitable for setting up tents and folding houses emerged.

The rescue personnel who had just come to rest, seeing this operation, were simply dumbfounded.

Although these individually powerful features looked impressive, it wasn’t to the extent of stunning the entire process. Most importantly, the shapes of these vehicles were too bizarre.

The large ones were enormous, and the small ones were very small, but each one had extremely high aesthetics. Smooth lines, a shocking and seemingly reasonable appearance, and a faintly shining surface gave people a strong sense of technology.

The first thought that came to the minds of those who saw this scene for the first time was:

Is this still Earth?

“Strictly speaking, these products belong to the Blue Star fifty years from now. Our movie is set like this.”

Sheng Quan, in the role of the owner of these “future products,” was introducing them:

“Their performance and efficiency will be amplified; for example, these vehicles currently require manual operation, but in the movie, we will shoot them as if they operate on their own.”

The leader next to her couldn’t help but look up at these tall vehicles:

“Even if it’s manually operated, it’s already quite impressive. Is this how you film movies?”

She didn’t understand the film industry, but even if she didn’t, she thought that those who make movies shouldn’t use real stuff, right?

“Not exactly,” Sheng Quan explained. “Because we have a research collaboration with students from C University, and these are the results of their projects. That’s why they are used in film production.”

To be honest, she didn’t expect that in just under a year, so many students would produce results.

Every time a new research product appeared, even if she was busy, she would be the first to go and experience it.

To be honest, it felt great.

Moreover, these students’ projects funded by Sheng Quan all had a common characteristic when presenting their results: they were useful and had extremely high aesthetics.

This wasn’t because she was particular about looks, but rather because these “high-tech research products” would be applied in films. Therefore, “artistic processing” was necessary to make them look handsome while creating a sense of transcending time and space for the movie audience without affecting their performance.

So, every time a student project entered the final stage and was reported, the department responsible for research projects (which she had newly established) would immediately arrange for a team of professional designers to design the appearance.

The main goal was to make the appearance cool while not affecting performance, allowing the audience watching the movie to feel a sense of futuristic technology.

Sheng Quan added with a smile, “Although the appearance looks futuristic, they are indeed products of our time. These are just unfinished products made for movie shooting. The finished products should be available within the next five years.”

“These are only unfinished products.” The leader looked at the large vehicle working and exclaimed, “If even the unfinished products can achieve this effect, how amazing would the finished products be?”

She had seen news about Sheng Quan investing in C University students’ research projects before. At that time, it was praised by the central authorities, and everyone was praising Sheng Quan for nurturing young talent and providing opportunities for young people.

At that time, when the leader saw the news, she didn’t think that these students could really make a big impact.

As a leader, she naturally understood the usefulness of these technological products. Not to mention others, just the mechanical dogs that could carry heavy supplies in harsh environments could have multiple applications.

These large vehicles were also truly amazing.

“Perhaps, for the finished products, they are not mature yet. But for disaster relief work, these research products have really helped a lot.”

After praising them, the leader couldn’t help but worry, “Although I don’t watch movies much, isn’t there a confidentiality aspect to movie content? Bringing these vehicles to participate in disaster relief, will it affect the movie’s performance?”

“Now, who has time to think about that?” Sheng Quan was not very worried about this. “Moreover, the props for ‘Interstellar War’ are not just these. It’s just that they are useful, so we brought them. In the movie, there are many more things that are more shocking than they look.”

The leader: “…”

She looked at the already impressively tall vehicles and then at the machines with sturdy, moving mechanical legs in the distance. She couldn’t imagine what props could be more shocking than them.

The leader usually not only didn’t watch movies but also wasn’t interested in futuristic sci-fi themes. However, at this moment, looking at these high-tech giants, she suddenly felt that sci-fi movies should be quite enjoyable, right?

At least this movie, “Interstellar War,” shouldn’t be bad.

She secretly decided that when “Interstellar War” was released, she must invite her family to watch it.

On the one hand, out of curiosity

On the other hand, Sheng Quan had provided significant assistance in this disaster relief, and the leader admired this young entrepreneur.

After working in disaster relief for nearly three years, this leader, for the first time, wanted to actively find the media to publicize the contributions of this young entrepreneur.

She had decided that when the media interviewed them, she would definitely mention Sheng Quan and the movie she was currently filming, letting everyone know that behind this rescue effort, a film crew was quietly contributing.
