Chapter 92 1/2
The sound of a helicopter’s roar echoed in the sky, attracting some passersby to look up.
“Wow, such a cool helicopter!”
“Is it Shengquan? I remember seeing her in the news; her helicopter looks like this.”
“It may not be her. Didn’t they say she’s in H City?”
A young passerby also looked up, very confidently saying, “It’s hers. She comes here often, and we’re all familiar with her.”
The other two passersby suddenly realized, quickly took out their phones, and took a cool photo.
of the helicopter flying by. The young man also recorded a video, posting it to the dormitory group:
“Sister Shengquan is here! I don’t know if she will visit the school. Looking forward to it!”
Yes, this young man was a student at C University.
The phrase “Sister Shengquan” was not just a joke. Since Shengquan invested heavily in various research projects at the school, over time, the students who were initially selected gradually produced results.
Of course, not every student had made progress as quickly as Gushuyue, who rapidly delivered results like hers.
But they were talents selected from the entire C University through layers of screening to apply for funds, and even the slowest of them had made some small progress.
In two years, these already outstanding students had seized the opportunity and fully demonstrated their own strength. Some had even been recruited into national departments, and the future of the remaining students could be described as boundless.
Most importantly, Shengquan fulfilled her promise. In the new year, she once again selected a group of students, provided them with project funds, and showcased the platform.
After producing results, students who were willing to stay and work for Starlight Technology were fully accepted by Shengquan. For those who wanted to join other research institutes or enter national departments, she allowed them to do so.
At first, some people thought Shengquan was just creating hype. However, as time passed, more and more people believed that Shengquan was genuinely “supporting.”
After all, every year she threw funds in units of “billions,” which was basically charity.
Some people felt that Shengquan, who didn’t treat money as money, was simply outrageous. However, C University students, as well as others involved in scientific research and even older military and political figures, didn’t see it that way.
They saw Shengquan as someone wholeheartedly supporting the country, promoting and preserving the culture of the Huaguo, boosting the tourism industry, creating numerous jobs, providing substantial assistance during natural disasters, and promoting scientific research development.
Although, strictly speaking, these big shots who had high regard for Shengquan had never had direct contact with her, it didn’t prevent them from recognizing her.
At least, Gu Zhaole mentioned to Shengquan that since she started supporting scientific research, projects under Starlight Entertainment that required government approval or permits were significantly more convenient and faster than before.
This was an unexpected joy in the dark.
As for the visible effects, it was the extremely high favorability among all the teachers and students at C University.
Every time Shengquan visited the C University campus, the students she encountered all referred to her as “Sister,” and when they saw her exclusive helicopter from afar, discussions in the school group were filled with excitement. If someone didn’t know better, they might think her alma mater was really C University.
However, Shengquan didn’t go to the school today.
The helicopter landed steadily in the specially cleared area at the research institute. Jiang Lu disembarked first, checked the surroundings, and then turned to help Shengquan down.
At this time, it was lunchtime at the research institute, and most students were either holding their lunch bowls or gathering by the windows to watch.
“So handsome…”
No matter how many times they saw it, there would always be students expressing such sentiments.
Especially when Shengquan got off the helicopter, removed her sunglasses, walked forward with a brisk pace, and was followed by a group of tall, serious bodyguards, the scene was more cinematic than an actual movie.
A young female student couldn’t help but be full of admiration. “President Sheng is really cool.”
In reality, Shengquan was walking fast while trying to contain her excitement. She asked her assistant, who had rushed to receive her:
“Is it really ready? Wasn’t it supposed to take at least another six months?”
Holography!
This was holography!
Surface Shengquan: full of coolness, striding forward with a heroic pace.
Actual Shengquan: Wishing Jiang Ge could carry her and run to the holographic cabin
Most young people who love the internet have probably dreamed of a “hologram has been released.” Shengquan herself had expressed plenty of comments in her previous life, like, “I hope to see holography popularized before I die.”
Because the holographic world was like a second world, descriptions of it in many film and television works were almost like transporting the human soul to another real world.
This was much cooler than VR. Shengquan’s best VR gaming equipment sometimes felt inconvenient.
In the previous “Interstellar War,” there was a plot where the male lead, Bolily, ultimately couldn’t escape with his entire body, leaving him with an immobilized body in the parallel world of three thousand years ago.
At that time, the medical technology in Huaguo couldn’t achieve what it was three thousand years later. They couldn’t treat Bolily, but relying on the slight technology he brought, they eventually made a technological breakthrough and created a holographic world for him.
The real Bolily could only lie still on the hospital bed, but the holographic Bolily could move freely, running and jumping.
—That’s holography.
Of course, Shengquan was well aware that even if Ningzhou was a genius and she threw a pile of money at him, he couldn’t possibly develop holographic technology like in the movie in just two years.
In the original “Starlight,” information about this technology was in its early stages. Of course, it was also possible that Ningzhou, who had achieved results, hadn’t continued to do much due to illness.
But it didn’t matter. The beginning was there, and she feared that the subsequent process and results wouldn’t go smoothly.
Moreover, this time Ningzhou was alive and well. Let’s not mention that he had two senior brothers taking care of him. When Shengquan achieved a small result for the first time, she assigned him a total of five assistants, covering all aspects of life and work. Even meals were taken care of by a nutritionist.
While most employees underwent a yearly physical examination, Ningzhou had to go for a check-up every three months.
Shengdong, who had the experience of being a “rag doll,” said: She didn’t believe he could die early this time.
And now, all she could think of was, Let me try it! Let me face holography!
At a speed twice as fast as usual, she arrived in front of the top-secret laboratory.
Since the appearance of the results, Shengquan has almost wanted to install eight hundred monitors here. On the security company’s side, just for these two corridors, more than a dozen people were arranged to guard 24 hours a day in shifts.
As for whether it was possible that she was too cautious or whether nobody cared originally but her big move attracted attention, Shengdong didn’t care. In any case, for important projects, she insisted on achieving foolproof protection.
