Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 576 Live Stream Fiasco! Rocket Launch in Full HD: Experts Engage in Awkward Conversation, Opponents Leave in Disarray!
Damit's speech is now even more slurred, and he's starting to stutter.

"I want to...I want to, I want to..."

I thought for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.

The beautiful anchorwoman realized the situation was getting out of hand and that this wouldn't do, as it would undermine the expert's authority. So she quickly found a way to change the subject.

Damette, the old man, quickly took a sip of water to cover up his embarrassment.

Then, the beautiful anchorwoman turned to Lü Jialiang and asked him the same question.

Lu Jialiang is a senior figure who frequently appears as a guest on the media, so he is naturally more experienced and adept at handling such situations.

Lu Jialiang pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect... Starry Sky Glory to be so well prepared. That's right, I think this must be the photography equipment prepared by Starry Sky Glory and installed on the rocket body in advance. It's a very forward-thinking operation."

Lü Jialiang meant that the preparations had nothing to do with Jiangshan Group or Tenglong Island Space Launch Site; it was all thanks to the visionary and technologically advanced commercial aerospace company, Starry Sky Glory, that these things had been considered in advance.

While this approach won't damage the rocket launch project, it also won't improve the reputation of Jiangshan Group and Hu Jiangshan, making it a good remedy.

After much thought, Lü Jialiang felt that this was the only explanation.

However, Lü Jialiang clearly forgot about Pan Lu's existence.

At this point, the female anchor doesn't want to ask Pan Lu any questions, but she has to do so according to the procedure.

Everyone has their pride; since we invited Pan Lu here, we can't just let him sit here doing nothing.

Pan Lu cleared his throat: "Dr. Lü may have misunderstood. I have a different opinion on this. Even if this is Starry Sky Glory's equipment, it still requires a high level of technical expertise to connect it with the instruments and equipment in the launch site command center. You have to understand that this is a real-time signal, and a video signal at that. Transmitting it is not so simple."

Pan Lu paused for a moment, glanced at Lü Jialiang's slightly embarrassed expression, and said, "Moreover, everyone can take a look at Jiangshan Group's official website. The video quality is quite smooth. I think that both Starry Sky Glory and Tenglong Island Space Launch Site have a very high level of technology, exceeding our expectations. This is a gratifying thing, isn't it?"

The beautiful anchorwoman could only force a smile: "Yes, that's right, this is a very good thing. It shows that Hong Kong companies have a high level of technology, and we should support them."

The beautiful female streamer finally said something sensible, and the viewers in the live stream started making fun of her.

"This live stream is really interesting. Is it because they can't admit it anymore?"

"This is really not easy. I thought this female anchor was stubborn and would never say a word of praise."

"Isn't it a bit late to praise him now?"

"This is not a positive live stream; the female streamer has overstepped her bounds."

At this point, Lü Jialiang was clearly unwilling to give up, saying, "Even if we see the real-time video footage, it may not be accurate, and we still need to verify it."

Pan Lu raised an eyebrow: "Dr. Lü, you can't just say things like that. Do you think the official live video footage is fake? If that's what you mean, you'll be held legally responsible."

Lu Jialiang was speechless for a moment, realizing that he had indeed spoken a bit too quickly.

It's fine to mention it casually in casual conversation, but it's not appropriate to say it like that in a live stream.

If Jiangshan Group and Starry Sky Glory really pursue this matter, they might actually sue Lü Jialiang.

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream became excited again and flooded the real-time chat group with comments.

"This guy surnamed Lü is talking nonsense again, his mouth is full of shit."

"Stop chatting here, switch the camera now, we need to see the live video feed!"

"Yeah, hurry up and check the official website. The video is already there. Why aren't you switching over? Don't you care about the ratings?"

"If you keep chatting like this, I'm leaving."

"Is the director sleeping? What's he doing? If he can't do the job, he should just get lost!"

More and more netizens expressed their dissatisfaction with the live stream, and the scene became somewhat chaotic.

The director may have secretly contacted the beautiful anchorwoman.

The female anchor then announced that a small window had been opened for the live video feed, so that everyone could watch the live video feed and read the comments at the same time, and the effect was indeed much better than before.

At this point, the rocket had already crossed the stratosphere and reached Earth's orbit, also known as low Earth orbit.

According to the launch plan, this Middle Eastern satellite will be placed in the Earth's medium orbit, so the rocket will need to fly upwards for a while longer.

However, judging from the rocket's flight attitude and the condition of its exhaust plume, it was indeed very stable, extremely stable.

The female anchor had hoped that Dammit could find some flaws in the video footage, but after watching for a long time, Dammit could only say some bland and uninformed things, which were not offensive at all and could not achieve the purpose of making a bad comment.

There's no way around it; even top aerospace experts have to protect their reputation, so you can't just make things up.

The key issue is that the money spent on Hong Kong Island TV Online wasn't spent properly. If it could make Damit financially independent, he would dare to say anything without the slightest hesitation.

Just then, Damit suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Wow, we've reached the medium orbit zone! We should launch the satellite now!"

Everyone was startled. So fast?

Only a dozen minutes have passed since the rocket launched.

However, anyone with some knowledge of aerospace knows that projects like this, which involve launching satellites, are relatively simple, the technology is mature, and the results are obtained quickly.

It should only take about ten minutes, and a high-orbit launch can be completed in no more than thirty minutes.

Of course, this is the case of a successful launch. If the rocket launch fails, it will end in a few seconds or tens of seconds, which is normal.

At this moment, the scene changed again.

The camera angle changed, and what we saw was different; it turns out there was more than one camera on the rocket's body.

This is truly remarkable. This rocket is fully prepared, and its equipment is comparable to that of a national-level space launch.

Pan Lu said, "Look, you can see the payload bay. That's the hatch, see? The hatch is slowly opening."

Sure enough, the camera showed a cover slowly opening at the front.

The beautiful anchorwoman was dumbfounded. She never expected that even this stage would be shown on camera. This was really too blatant!

The beautiful anchorwoman who watched the SpaceX satellite launch process never showed this kind of footage; she only gave a diagram to explain it and that was it.

If the real-time video footage is this clear, then there's very little room for manipulation by the media.

Lu Jialiang's eyes widened as he watched something emerge from within.

Pan Lu smiled and said, "Very good, very smoothly, that's the satellite, the satellite has come out of the payload bay."

As the satellite slowly glided outwards and got closer and closer, the camera lens actually began to rotate along with it.

It turns out this camera also has an angle adjustment function; I have to say, the preparation work was really thorough.

The key point is that being able to come up with a solution is one thing, but being able to implement it is another.

Aerospace-grade cameras are different from those used in the general public. They need to take into account the complex environment of outer space, such as temperature and radiation conditions, making it no easy task to keep the equipment working continuously.

Moreover, there's the issue of real-time video transmission, something that even most countries couldn't accomplish by mobilizing their entire national resources.

The transmitted video is now of excellent quality and very clear, with minimal interference. Although the image is still black and white, it doesn't affect viewing, which is quite remarkable.

At this point, the netizens in the live stream couldn't sit still and started spamming the chat with messages until their hands were sore.

"Holy crap! Did you see that? The satellite has exited the capsule."

"This is so beautiful. Everything feels so smooth and silky."

"Comrades, I think we have underestimated the technological strength of Hong Kong companies."

"I take back what I just said, Hong Kong Island is still okay."

"This isn't a rocket from Hong Kong Island; it's a rocket from a commercial aerospace company in mainland China."

"But the rocket launch went very smoothly, which shows that the launch site is highly capable."

"It's just launching satellites; we can see them every month, we're all tired of it."

"That's right. SpeyX carries dozens of satellites with it on every launch, and it has almost never failed."

"Don't pretend you know what you're talking about. This is the first time Hong Kong has launched a satellite; it's significant."

As they were speaking, the satellite in the video had completely left the rocket's range and was flying far into deep space.

You can even vaguely see that the satellite has deployed its solar panels, turning it into a huge machine.

In the live stream room, only Pan Lu was laughing.

Although the beautiful anchorwoman had a professional smile on her face, it always gave people an awkward feeling; her smile was forced and insincere.

The female news anchor asked, "Mr. Lake, does this mean the satellite launch was successful?"

Damit Lake's expression was obviously unnatural, and he thought for a while before answering, "Oh, probably... I think it was successful, but..."

The beautiful anchorwoman's eyes lit up: "But what? Mr. Lake, have you noticed something amiss?"

"But we still need the launch site officials to make an official announcement about this."

The beautiful anchorwoman was somewhat disappointed, but she immediately contacted reporter Lucy at the command center.

"Lucy, what's the situation on the ground right now?"

Actually, Lucy didn't need to say anything; it was already quite obvious from the video feed.

Most people in the command center were cheering and clapping, and some were even hugging and celebrating.

Lucy looked behind her and said, "Well, as you can see, the entire command center is now in a sea of ​​joy. Everyone is celebrating and very excited."

The beautiful news anchor was speechless for a moment before finally asking, "So, does that mean the rocket launch was successful?"

Lucy replied, "Maybe, but it doesn't seem to have been announced yet, so we'll have to wait and see what happens..."

Before Lucy could finish speaking, a staff member behind her made a face at the camera and shouted, "No need to watch for follow-up, it's a success! The rocket launch was a complete success! The satellite has successfully entered orbit! We've won! Wow!"

Good grief, the beautiful anchorwoman was so angry she wanted the director to cut the live feed off immediately, it was practically a live broadcast mishap.

The live stream had been building up momentum for so long at the beginning, but now everything has been disrupted.

We just had live video footage of the rocket and satellite, and now staff are announcing the rocket launch was successful. How can we keep up with this pace?!

It's important to understand that media tactics aren't a panacea. If the other side has a lot of evidence, then even the most sophisticated tactics won't help.

This is called overwhelming force with sheer power.

Immediately afterwards, on Jiangshan Group's official website, the anchor also announced the successful rocket launch and the smooth entry of the satellite into orbit.

The live stream room was silent. Pan Lu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He could only cover his face with his hands and enjoy himself by himself.

The others were embarrassed and looked miserable.

The female anchor may have received a reminder from the director that the live stream was getting quiet, so she quickly changed the subject and asked Lü Jialiang to share his thoughts.

What could Lü Jialiang say? He could only make things up.

"I think this rocket launch was very successful. It has set a good precedent for Hong Kong's aerospace industry. More and more related companies will enter the aerospace industry in the future, and development will be smoother."

The beautiful anchorwoman said, "Yes, it is said that Changhe Group, together with SpaceX and Gas Group, is also building a space launch site on Hong Kong Island. If the project is successfully completed and enters commercial operation next year, the prospects will be very broad and bright."

That's all the beautiful anchorwoman can say now. She quickly tries to make amends and also takes the opportunity to promote Changhe Group's rocket launch site, riding on the popularity of Tenglong Island Space Launch Site.

However, the viewers in the live stream weren't very appreciative.

"What are you talking about? The launch was successful on Tenglong Island, what does that have to do with Changhe Group?"

"Exactly, it's completely irrelevant and just a forced attempt to ride the wave of popularity."

"Didn't you guys notice? Isn't this media outlet invested in by Changhe Group? Just check their background and you'll know!"

"No need to investigate, there must be something going on with Changhe Group behind this, otherwise why would they have been so desperate to stir up trouble before?"

"Now that you mention it, I really do feel that way. This media outlet should be blacklisted."

It's impossible for the beautiful anchor and director not to panic when they see these comments, but they still have to try their best to maintain their composure.

The effect of this live stream took a sharp turn for the worse.

It went quite smoothly at the beginning, but now it's all shattered.

Meanwhile, at Tenglong Island Resort.

Hu Wenxin and Huo Jiangting exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh, even laughing out loud.

For big shots, this kind of thing is quite rare.

They have always valued keeping their emotions in check, and rarely displayed such arrogance.

But I just can't stand it!

Especially with Li Ziji and Guo Pingjiang still here, we should laugh out loud and slap them in the face hard; that would be satisfying enough.

To be honest, these kinds of opportunities are rare, so we must seize them.

Li Ziji and Guo Pingjiang, these big shots, are now like wilted eggplants, their heads unable to support themselves.

At this moment, Huo Jiangting said, "Shouldn't we bring out the champagne? It's not easy for everyone to get together like this, let's have a few drinks!"

Li Ziji coughed lightly: "We... have some things to do, so we won't drink."

Guo Pingjiang said, "Yes, yes, drinking will lead to trouble. We'll be going now, you can continue chatting."

The two men fled as if they were escaping, accompanied by bodyguards, looking more like they had suffered a defeat.
