The comments on Sina Weibo were almost overflowing with joy.
It wasn't just Sina Weibo.
Baidu News, Jinri Toutiao, Baidu Tieba, major news portals, major video websites, and even Zhihu and Douyin on these apps, news about the Future Invasion phone launch event spread like wildfire.
As for Moments, QQ Zone, and other such places, it goes without saying; almost as soon as the Future Invasion press conference began, everyone's Moments feeds were flooded with related messages.
Even some people who usually paid little attention to technology now knew that China had released an incredible new mobile phone, boasting groundbreaking super black technology, and most importantly... the price was only 8888 yuan.
It could be said that in just over an hour, Future Invasion had conquered countless Chinese people with its unimaginable and abundant black technologies, making everyone feel excited just by hearing about them, directly igniting China's news focus.
Almost the entire Hua City's information center screened out all social and entertainment news, leaving only news related to Future Invasion!
The naturally bloody, unassuming developer of Future Invasion became an overnight sensation and a hot star in Hua City.
And this grand occasion wasn't just happening in China.
Foreign netizens also witnessed the birth of the Future Invasion phone through YouTube videos.
They were equally overwhelmed by Future Invasion's numerous black technologies; every time the audience cheered in the video, they would cheer and shout along, eventually mostly exclaiming, "OH MY GOD!"—a typical English expression of surprise, unable to find any other words to describe their shock.
It was due to being overly stunned.
The full video of the Future Invasion press conference landed on YouTube for less than two hours before it immediately became the number one trending search, and within just over two hours, the playback volume exceeded one hundred million.
"Amazing!!" (So amazing!)
"Is this really something invented by humans?!"
"If it weren't for the fact that current special effects aren't this realistic yet, I would definitely think this was a fake video! Someone actually managed to make something like this! So cool!!"
"8888 yuan converted to USD is less than one thousand dollars! It's cheaper than Apple!"
"I've already asked my friend in China to buy a phone, it's so cool! I've never seen such a cool product: I simply cannot describe it in words! Especially the holographic projection technology, it's truly amazing! Compared to Future Invasion, Apple is just a child's toy!"
"Who exactly is this Chinese developer? Why have I never heard of his name before?! Is he the second Steve Jobs?!"
"Oh, brother, the second Steve Jobs? Don't give Steve Jobs too much credit. These technologies are unprecedented; they are about to create a new era! From now on, I will be a die-hard fan of Grand God Technology, and no one will shake my faith!"
"Please, can anyone tell me how I can buy this phone? I went to Grand God Technology's official website to fill out my address, but they don't ship to my country! I must write to the company's operations manager; why don't they arrange international shipping immediately?! This is too inhumane!"
…
After watching the press conference video, foreigners could no longer restrain their excited hearts and were eager to spend money...
For nothing else, the holographic suspended projection technology alone was enough to make them drool.
However, Grand God Technology had not yet opened overseas purchase channels, so they could only buy the Future Invasion phone through various other means. This indirectly contributed to the pre-sale volume of the Future Invasion phone.
…
United States, White House.
"Mr. President!"
Fergus rushed in, his expression anxious.
"I know what you're going to say. I've already seen it."
As soon as he stepped through the door, President Hill had quickly finished watching the entire Future Invasion press conference.
His face was grim, his eyes stern.
"Mr. President, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer."
"He has already shown his value, and his value far exceeds our expectations... The Huaxia government will not easily let him go. We have lost the initiative!"
Fergus took a deep breath and said seriously,
"Go and instruct the Death Bureau... If possible, steal Su Yan's technological achievements and materials, and also make sure Su Yan gets a little injured."
"If that's truly not possible, then eliminate this hidden danger by any means necessary!"
President Hill ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Mr. President!"
Fergus immediately took the order.
"Wait!"
President Hill raised a hand. "Remember, do this discreetly. Absolutely do not let the Huaxia government discover it, and it's best not to let people from other countries find out... Of course, the best outcome is if other countries act first."
"No matter what, we must act swiftly! We must choose the most opportune moment!"
"Yes!"
It wasn't just the United States that harbored murderous intentions towards Su Yan.
Almost all developed countries that had a competitive relationship with China shared this idea!
But at the same time, they all wanted to avoid bearing the blame... hoping that other countries would make the first move to eliminate this root cause of their worries.
Of course, they did not dare to act rashly at this moment.
Now was precisely when Su Yan was at the peak of his fame, becoming the focus of attention across all of Huaxia, and even globally... If they were to act now, it would certainly invite a series of troubles!
"CEO Su! Are you awake yet? Ship it! Hurry up and ship it!!!"
"It's been 14 hours since I placed the order. When will it be shipped? (lol)"
"Has anyone's order status changed? Who has shipped? Any screenshots?"
"Ship it quickly! Su Yan, if you don't ship it, my wife will tear the house down!"
"You all want it shipped, but I'm hoping it ships later! Last night, my wife added more than ten new clothes to her shopping cart, just waiting for the Future Invasion to arrive so she can try them all on! If it really ships, my month's salary will be gone!"
"Are there no scalpers?! How can such a hot phone not have any scalpers?!"
"Su Yan, if you don't ship it, do you believe I'll blow up your Grand God Technology? Hurry up and ship it to me!!"
"..."
On major forums and communities, wherever there was activity, there were inevitably posts urging the shipment of the Future Invasion phone.
Especially on Grand God Technology's official forum, consumers were frantically demanding shipment!
