May 25th, 3:00 PM. Today was originally supposed to be the closing day of the exhibition. However, Hall F of the Convention and Exhibition Center was unusually bustling because a new technology launch event was scheduled to take place today.
That's right, this was the new technology showcase launch event organized by Nick and his team in conjunction with Sun's team. They had stayed up for several days and nights for this showcase.
But their hard work was not in vain; they finally completed the integration of the relevant technologies before the launch event.
Actually, the integration of these two technologies wasn't difficult in itself, just somewhat complex, involving a lot of data calculation and adjustment, so it took quite some time.
Being able to complete such a massive workload in just a few days was a huge test for these young people.
During these few days, many corporate organizations and media outlets came because of their reputation. However, they didn't see Nick; all they received was an invitation to attend today's new technology showcase launch event.
Naturally, these people had some complaints, thinking Nick and his team were just being mysterious. Moreover, they were certainly unhappy about being neglected.
However, due to their interest in the technology and curiosity about the new things Nick and his team had come up with, they still arrived as scheduled, wanting to see what Nick was really up to.
"Is everything ready?" Nick asked Zack while adjusting his clothes.
"Almost. The launch event starts in ten minutes. Just be natural when you get on stage later, don't be nervous, and just follow what we practiced before," Zack instructed carefully while helping him tidy up.
Originally, Tyler was supposed to host this technology showcase, but he didn't have a deep understanding of the technical aspects and was afraid of showing weakness on stage. So, he teamed up with the other two to force Nick onto the stage.
Nick was naturally helpless about this, but at this point, he couldn't back down; he could only brace himself and go for it.
At that moment, Sun, wearing a white shirt and leather shoes with his hair slicked back into a shiny pompadour, walked over to them with full confidence.
"Are you ready? It's time to go on."
Nick nodded and said, "Let's go."
The two of them then went backstage. At that moment, the screen on the north side of the stage was playing video materials they had previously displayed.
In front of the stage was an open space surrounded by people sitting, about one or two hundred of them. However, for the stage effect, the lights in the venue were turned off and it was quite dim, so it was difficult for Nick to see their faces clearly.
The backstage staff in charge of coordination nodded to him. Then, the stage lights came on, and the big screen switched to the PPT cover they had prepared.
"Joint Launch Event for Swarm-Array Control Technology and AI 3D Motion Capture Technology"
Nick took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage. The audience below gave him polite applause.
"Hello, everyone."
Nick looked at the shadowy figures sitting below and greeted them.
"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the State Student League Committee, the Miami Publicity Department, and the organizers of this exhibition. Thank you for providing us with this platform, giving us another opportunity to stand before everyone and showcase our research achievements."
"I also want to thank them for their constant care; it is because of them that young people like us have a stage to showcase ourselves."
*Clap clap clap clap...* The applause stopped, and Nick continued, "As you may have seen, today's launch event is actually co-hosted by us and another team.
Although it's a co-hosting, we are actually closely linked. To better showcase the technical achievements of both parties, we have integrated our respective technologies.
In other words, the demonstration you are about to see is actually an integration of both our technologies.
Alright, now let's welcome Sun, the head of the Miami University of Technology R&D team, to the stage with a round of applause!"
*Clap clap clap clap.* Accompanied by a burst of applause, Sun walked up excitedly, bowed to the crowd, and said with a smile, "Thank you, thank you everyone.
I am very excited to participate in this exhibition. First, I want to thank Nick and his R&D team for giving us this opportunity, we only..."
After about two or three minutes, Sun finally stopped, still wanting to say more.
Nick then continued, "Having said all that, I'm sure everyone is curious about what exactly we are demonstrating today.
What kind of sparks can be created when the technologies of both parties are combined? I believe everyone can't wait, so let's get straight to the point."
After saying that, Nick took a tablet from Terry's hand and said to the crowd while operating it, "First, let's open the software and start the system."
Through the big screen behind him, the audience could clearly see how Nick was operating the tablet.
He opened a software interface and then clicked on the startup item.
As Nick clicked confirm, white spheres began to appear in the software interface. At the same time, the drones placed in the open space in front of the stage lit up with green lights.
For the sake of the display effect, they also turned on the LED light groups on the drones to make the entire demonstration even cooler.
"Launch drones!"
Nick then selected all the spheres on the interface and clicked a program. The propellers of the 250 drones parked in the open space began to spin.
Immediately after, the drones began to take off from the ground, gathering in the air above the venue, and finally forming a loose rectangular array.
Nick showed the tablet in his hand and said, "As you can see, these drones are not following any pre-programmed routine; they are completely under my manual control.
Now, I will drag a model from its asset library."
Saying this, Nick dragged an octahedron model into the interface. At the same time, the drones hovering in the air quickly gathered toward the center, forming an octahedron.
"Let's make it spin." As he spoke, Nick swiped the screen with his finger. The octahedron model in the interface immediately began to rotate rapidly, and the corresponding octahedron array formed by the drones also began to rotate.
"Wow!" The audience below erupted in gasps of amazement.
"That's too simple. Let's try something more complex. How about a pineapple? A rose, a car, Burj Khalifa, right here!"
As Nick's fingertips slid across the tablet, the drone swarm transformed into various array shapes, causing the audience to cheer and applaud continuously.
In a corner of the audience, a silver-haired old man watched the constantly transforming drones. A light flashed in his somewhat cloudy eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
