Chapter 63 - Chapter 63

"As the world's first brand-new smartphone, it comes equipped with an 8-core processor and our next-generation Pioneer AI engine."

"Its operating system is also our latest in-house development, the Pioneer operating system."

"The device itself offers built-in storage options of 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB, giving ordinary users and businesses alike more than enough for a wide range of needs."

"On top of that, it features three cameras: an ultra-high-resolution main camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto lens, allowing you to perfectly share the scenery around you with friends across the world."

"The phone itself is both water-resistant and drop-resistant, and it also comes with a high-capacity battery that can fully charge in one hour and remain on standby for three days."

"And beyond that..."

As Lisa demonstrated the phone in real time and displayed everything through the 3D holographic projection, every single person was stunned.

"My God, it even has storage in the terabyte range? This has to be a joke. Can something like that actually be made? I'm still using a memory card with only a few dozen megabytes."

"What does that 8-core processor thing even mean? Is it really that impressive?"

"Motherfucker! I knew Pioneer Technology had to be some kind of alien tech company. Are any of these things something normal humans could actually invent?"

"Didn't Pioneer Technology only get founded a few years ago? Even those old-school high-tech giants aren't this ridiculous. This is terrifying."

...

As Lisa continued explaining the phone's functions and demonstrating them live, the audience at the venue and the viewers in front of their televisions could no longer sit still. Everyone was discussing it heatedly.

It could be said that in just this single hour today, they had experienced several shocks greater than most people would encounter in an entire lifetime.

"As for mobile phones, I'm sure none of you are unfamiliar with them. Our daily lives already rely on them for phone calls, messaging, sharing our lives, searching for information online, and much more."

"Right now, your understanding of them may still be limited to that. But trust me, the Pioneer smartphone will change your entire perception of what a phone can be."

"In the future, we will be committed to building a large-scale virtual marketplace that integrates daily life, healthcare, and business. It will allow you to browse for innovative products without ever leaving home, and with its built-in projection capabilities, it will even let you virtually try and examine each item up close."

"It will also include disaster warning services. Earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and all kinds of natural disasters will be accurately forecast for you through related technologies."

"And it also comes with emergency danger alerts and satellite emergency calling functions, ensuring that no matter the circumstances, if you encounter danger, you can contact the outside world for help in time."

"..."

After Lisa finished explaining the phone's functions, and even showcased several mini-games included with the device, the entire venue erupted once again.

Then, after a few more words to build up the atmosphere on site, the launch event moved on under Lisa's lead to its third major product, or rather, its third major technology: the introduction of the 4G network.

And at that very moment, the true giants of the electronics and communications industry all went grim and began watching with heavy expressions.

After all, for them, network infrastructure was their lifeline. They did not necessarily have to buy Pioneer Technology's products.

But if 4G was real, then there was no way they could afford not to use it.

Otherwise, if your company's internet speed was slow while someone else's was fast, then naturally no one would want to buy from you.

And among those present, none looked more grim than the representative from Qualcomm in the United States. His expression had practically gone black.

That was because almost every company was currently using their 2G network, and they were earning billions of dollars a year in patent fees from it alone.

It could be said that as long as 2G remained in use, every phone manufacturer using 2G technology had to pay them a patent fee equal to five percent of sixty-five percent of the phone's selling price for every unit sold.

For a phone priced at 3,000 yuan, they could collect 150 yuan in patent royalties.

They had already developed 3G and were preparing to announce it publicly.

What they had not expected was that Pioneer Technology would jump straight over 3G and announce that it had already developed 4G.

It was a naked slap to the face.

That was why their company had sent him here to scout the competition, hoping that everything was nothing more than Pioneer Technology's publicity stunt.

But now...

Watching the familiar 3D holographic projection light up once again, and listening to the explanation of 4G's content and capabilities, the man's heart sank even further.

He knew that unless their company skipped 4G entirely and immediately began working on 5G, they would no longer have any real advantage.

No... perhaps they should skip even 5G and start on 6G directly.

After all, by the time they had released 2G, they had already formed the basic outline for 3G technology.

And now, he refused to believe that Pioneer Technology had not already begun researching 5G.

"As I said before, the age of 4G has arrived."

"When that time comes, all of you will be able to watch scenic videos uploaded by users from all over the world without ever leaving home, and even a video hundreds of megabytes in size will take only seconds to download and watch online."

"Games, videos, films, program research, software development, and more... with the high efficiency and low latency of 4G, these things will no longer be dreams."

"As 4G develops, the era of everything being interconnected is also on the way. In the future, all things will be able to connect to the network."

"Let us look forward to it together."

As Lisa finished speaking, wave after wave of applause broke out once more throughout the venue.

With the help of the pre-prepared scenarios rendered by the 3D virtual projection, everyone could vividly feel that highly futuristic world drawing near.

Self-driving vehicles, remote control systems, video communication, remote surgery, and other advanced technologies were all vividly portrayed before them.

And everyone believed that with the support of 4G networks, that day would not be far away.

"All right, next, as usual, I will answer everyone's questions."

"For the next half hour, if anyone here has any questions, feel free to raise them."

After all, these were all emerging products, and there were certainly bound to be areas where the explanation had not been comprehensive enough. So Lisa invited the audience to ask freely.

"Hello, I'd like to ask whether all three of these products were developed independently by Pioneer Technology. And how long did it take?"

At that moment, after Lisa signaled to her, a female reporter stood up and asked her question.

"Of course they were developed independently by us."

"Not just now, but in the future as well. Every product released by Pioneer Technology will be independently developed by us. We will never rely on others to do it for us."

"As for how long it took, I'm not part of the technical department, so I can't say for certain, but it was definitely several years."

"And of course, we also have to thank our technical teams for all their hard work. They spent countless days and nights working overtime to make these products possible, and that is why we have today's success."

Faced with the reporter's question, Lisa responded with calm confidence and a composed smile.
