Tu Si looked up and saw the dazzling crystal chandelier; looking forward, he saw a podium covered with a bright red carpet; turning his head and looking around, he saw a crowded hall; and just at this moment, government officials walked into the venue one after another and sat on the podium, and the whole hall erupted in warm applause.
Up and down, left and right, there were bright lights, thunderous applause, and bustling voices. This scene was exactly the same as the nightmare that had troubled Tu Si for five years!
A violent buzzing sound blocked Tu Si’s ears, making him unable to hear anything and unable to think. Boundless panic struck from the depths of his heart, causing his head to shake and he almost fainted.
Zhao Zhensheng helped him up and whispered, “Don’t be nervous, Mr. Tu. We will definitely be able to win the government’s 5G project in the future.”
Tu Si rubbed his brows and nodded slowly.
The government officials only made a few brief opening remarks before letting representatives from various companies come on stage to explain their 5G construction plans.
Tu Si suppressed Zhao Zhensheng who was about to make a move and said in a low voice: “Wait until the representative of Haiming Group has finished explaining, then you can go up. I want to see their details.”
“Okay, Mr. Tu, our proposal is suitable as the finale.” Zhao Zhensheng said very confidently.
So other companies came on stage one after another to present their ideas, but Haiming and Future Map remained sitting.
By the time there were only two companies left, Zhuang Li no longer had any interest in wasting time.
He stood up, patted his lover’s shoulder gently, then walked up to the podium calmly and said with a smile: “Please open the gift boxes placed next to you.”
The representatives sitting around the round tables had already noticed the gift boxes tied with ribbons, but they did not dare to open them on the spot for fear of being impolite.
They originally thought it was a souvenir from the government, but now it seemed not to be.
Amid noisy discussions, the gift box was opened by company representatives with puzzled faces, and inside was actually a finely crafted mobile phone.
“This is a 5G phone.” Zhao Zhensheng laughed sarcastically. “The 5G network hasn’t even started to be built yet, but Haiming Group has already released a 5G phone. Are they trying to collect IQ tax?”
But Tu Si couldn’t laugh.
He picked up the phone with trembling fingertips, opened the settings page, stared at the signal icon, and said in a hoarse voice: “Look carefully, the 5G signal of this phone is full.”
“What?” Zhao Zhensheng’s sarcastic smile froze on his face.
The representatives who also discovered the full 5G signal were also excited, pointing at their phones and discussing it, with shocked expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Only Xuan Ming and the government officials sitting on the stage looked calm and indifferent, as if they were already accustomed to such situations.
“We haven’t even started building 5G base stations yet, where does the 5G signal come from?” Zhao Zhensheng stood up and asked loudly.
“There is a 4G base station on the rooftop of this building. Recently, its internal chip has been replaced with a 5G chip independently developed by our Haiming Group, which has achieved compatibility between 4G and 5G networks. In other words, there is no need for large-scale transformation of the original base station. Only the chip needs to be replaced, and our country’s 4G network can be quickly upgraded to a 5G network.” Zhuang Li said slowly.
Zhao Zhensheng was stunned.
The crowd sitting in the venue erupted in disbelief.
4G and 5G networks could be made compatible just by replacing the chip. They had never heard of such technology! In theory, this was completely impossible!
“You are cheating! 4G and 5G networks cannot be made compatible!” Zhao Zhensheng walked up to the podium while speaking, took out his laptop, connected the data cable, and prepared to give Zhuang Li a basic theoretical lesson.
However, Zhuang Li didn’t even glance at him. He looked around at everyone and gave an order: “Please open the network speed test app on your mobile phone and test the speed of the 5G base station developed by our Haiming Group.
“As far as I know, Country H has also recently tested the speed of their 5G network, and the value was 1 Gbps, but you should all know that this test has no practical significance because it is only a test of a single mobile phone in an interference-free network environment, which is completely inconsistent with the actual situation.”
“The biggest difference between 4G and 5G networks is not the speed, but the bandwidth. The 4G network can fully meet our current life needs, but when 10,000 people gather together to use their mobile phones at the same time, the huge data flow will cause the 4G network to collapse.”
“The real 5G network can support such grand scenes. When 10,000 people use 10,000 mobile phones at the same time, the network speed will not be affected. This is the biggest advantage of the 5G network. Only by building such a network can we welcome the arrival of the intelligent era and make driverless cars and robot armies a reality.”
“There can be tens of thousands of cars driving around the same block at the same time. There can be millions of robots fighting on the same battlefield. Without a high-speed, zero-latency network, the future we envision will be a waste.”
“I have counted that there are 10,398 people attending the meeting today, and our Haiming Group has customized 10,398 5G mobile phones for you in advance. You can experience the 5G speed of our China for yourself.
“There is a movie app on your phone. You can choose any movie to download. Okay, everyone, please start your wonderful journey.”
Zhuang Li nodded and smiled, then stepped aside and gave the podium to Zhao Zhensheng, who had already prepared the slides and projector.
Zhao Zhensheng held the so-called 5G mobile phone in his hand, but he didn’t even bother to take a look at it. He absolutely didn’t believe that 4G and 5G networks could be made compatible with just a few chips. This was unscientific!
However, when he walked confidently to the center of the podium and adjusted the height of the microphone, there was an uproar of shock from the audience.
Someone blurted out, “A two-hour movie was downloaded in just two seconds. This speed is only possible under perfect control in the laboratory! But there are more than 10,000 of us using our phones at the same time. This speed is impossible! Impossible! Impossible!”
The man shook his head as he opened the downloaded movie, only to find that it could actually be played and was not just a fake directory.
The people sitting around him shouted, “I can see mine, too!”
“The speed I just measured is 10.1gbps. This speed is an ideal number after eliminating all interference. It should not be possible!”
“But we actually downloaded the movie in two seconds! How do you explain that?”
“Everyone is using their phones, right? No one is holding them still, right?”
“They are using them all! I’ve also downloaded three movies, and they’ve all been downloaded now, so I can watch them all!”
Everyone spent several minutes confirming that the representatives sitting around them were also using their phones, and then had to come to an incredible conclusion – Haiming Group’s 5G network was real! And the network speed had reached a perfect value that could only be achieved in theory!
Tu Si, who downloaded five movies in a row with his mobile phone, opened and watched each of them, and scrolled the progress bar to the end, was now pale and sweating profusely.
He looked at Zhao Zhensheng, who was standing on the stage at a loss, and then at Zhuang Li, who was standing beside him with a calm smile, and finally realized that the nightmare had become a reality.
