Chapter 543 Press Conference at Mihua Municipal Building
"This is the Mihua Municipal Building. The somatosensory virtual game device jointly developed by Japanese game manufacturers and the American Syndora Company will hold a grand first public conference here. Now, Thomas Sindora, Chairman of Syndora Company, has
Arrived at the scene!”
At five o'clock in the evening local time in Japan, in the live news TV screen, the young female host introduced the situation of the new game equipment launch that attracted the attention of the global gaming industry. At the same time, as the key figures came from
The female host said this, and the screen turned -
A high-end silver antique car was slowly parked in front of the door of the Mihua Municipal Building with a red carpet, and then you could see the flashing camera lights lighting up, wearing an elegant purple suit.
Thomas Sindora got out of the back seat of the car where the waiter opened the back door.
Facing the road surrounded by countless notes, Thomas Sindora, escorted by two bodyguards, ignored any notes and walked into the Mihua Municipal Building.
Then, the camera turned again and returned to the female anchor of the live news broadcast. The female anchor continued to introduce:
"According to written information released to the media in advance, this game device called 'Cocoon' allows players to enter a cocoon-like capsule and interact with a game with a sound recognition system while under hypnosis.
Playing in the virtual world can really be said to be a gaming device that integrates the essence of the most advanced technology. Currently, it is understood that the device can provide a total of five stages for players to play freely.
"What kind of virtual world is it? At today's press conference, the children who are the first to be qualified to experience it will know after they experience it. This is a press conference that is completely closed to the public. We, the news media, can only
Waiting for the results outside. Fifty boys and girls from high school and below will become the first batch of 'cocoon' experiencers in Japan..."
——"Huh, game?"
In this way, when such a live news scene was played on the TV screen, in a dark room, Gin, wearing a black windbreaker, a black hat, and long silver hair, could not help but look disdainful.
made such doubtful sounds.
In response, Belmode sneered, and Belmode, who had long blond hair and gorgeous makeup, smiled and said:
"Gin, don't underestimate it as just a game. This is the most advanced 'virtual reality' equipment. It is completely different from the 'simulated reality' technology that the organization currently has. It also has its own unique uses, and it is also a technology that the organization needs."
"But……"
But regarding this, the burly Vodka on the side asked doubtfully:
"I remember that the company under the organization's name also gave Syndora Company financial support for the development of this technology. If you want this technology...can't you go directly through the company under the organization's name? Why do you have to do this?
?”
"Give financial support? Oh, Vodka, you care a lot. Yes, it does. But do you know how many Japanese companies have provided financial support this time? Based on the participation ratio of organized companies, it is simply impossible
Access to core technology, and even the Tokiwa Group, which is most closely related to Sindora Company among Japanese companies, does not have access to the real core 'virtual reality' technology. On the contrary... there is a feeling that Sindora Company has annexed Tokiwa.
It’s the Pan Group’s intention. So, this is our only resort.”
Belmod slowly explained:
"The game equipment called 'Cocoon' will be stored in the Mihua Municipal Building today, and according to the schedule of the press conference, the relevant equipment will not be dismantled and moved away until tomorrow morning, so what needs to be done is to put it away tonight
Relevant equipment was moved away and traces were disposed of. This is... the construction drawing of the Mihua Municipal Building, which can be used as a reference."
As he spoke, Belmod took out the E-Tai platform computer, which displayed a construction drawing of the Mihua Municipal Building, and gave it to Gin and the others for reference.
In this way, after taking the tablet handed over by Belmod and looking at the building structure where the target was located, Gin pondered for a moment and then asked:
"What about the internal situation? We only have the drawings but don't know the internal layout, so we can't start perfectly."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, news will naturally come from inside."
With a slight smile, Belmod said this——
Hanada Emi lost contact for some reason, and Hara Jiaki is still alive. In this case, let's show your last value...
…
He turned his attention and returned to the Mihua Municipal Building. After passing the security check of the metal detector at the entrance of the press conference, Mouri Kogoro took Xiaolan, Conan, and the rest of the young detective team Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko.
Everyone, all dressed up, entered the huge specially separated press conference area.
However, in the face of such a strict inspection at the entrance, electronic equipment was not allowed to be brought in, and even reporters and reporters were not allowed to report. Such a so-called press conference had never been seen by Mouri Kogoro. He couldn't help but feel that
He sighed with understanding:
"It's just a video game conference, why make it so exaggerated?"
"I heard that before this press conference was held, commercial espionage had already been operating secretly!"
In this regard, Conan talked about some information he knew, and then as the topic arose, Mitsuhiko also continued:
"You know, because of the emergence of this 'Cocoon', it is said to be going to change the landscape of the entire video game industry!"
Just as he was talking, several people passed by the window that could see the stage of the conference venue. Yuantai's sharp eyes suddenly saw many identical large egg-shaped machines densely arranged on the stage. He couldn't help but lie down in front of the window and said in surprise.
:
"What is that!"
"Ah! That must be 'cocoon'!"
Seeing this, everyone came together, and Mitsuhiko couldn't help but exclaimed.
In this way, Yuantai was very envious. Seeing the game device close at hand from a distance, he couldn't help but say:
"I really want to play 'Cocoon'!"
"That's impossible..."
In this regard, Mitsuhiko also said a little disappointed:
“Although we were invited to the party, we were not chosen to be the cocoon experiencers.”
"It's just an electronic toy."
Seeing the reactions of several people, Conan said a little unconcernedly.
"Conan, you're not very good at computer games, right? That's why you say that."
In this regard, Ayumi said so.
"Yeah yeah!"
Speaking of this, Yuantai became excited for a moment and said this with a slight sense of superiority.
"I didn't expect your fingers to be so bad!"
Mitsuhiko followed.
"I want you to take care of..."
Regarding this, Conan said with some annoyance.
"But speaking of it, it's a pity that Haihara-san didn't come..."
Speaking of this, Mitsuhiko thought of Xiao Ai whom he hadn't seen for a long time:
"I haven't seen her since I took a week off, and I don't know where she went to play..." ()
