You promised to build cars, so why did you go into the military industry?

"Technology should not be something aloof and unapproachable; it should serve the people."

Our goal is to create technology that people can afford.

Fortunately, we met like-minded partners on this path.

That's General Manager Lei from the grain company.

The camera panned to Mr. Lei, who was sitting in the audience, smiling and waving at the camera.

This scene caused Shuangma, who was sitting not far away, to look solemn.

It seems that the collaboration between United Industries and Coarse Grains is not merely a publicity stunt as I had learned.

"Just yesterday, the Mixed Grains 3 I have here was officially released to the public, with a unified national retail price of 1999 yuan."

To be honest, the price is very affordable, and I have had a great experience using this phone.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei, for creating such a cost-effective smartphone, allowing more people to hold technology in their own hands."

After Li Ran finished speaking, he nodded in the direction of President Lei.

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

"As a partner of United Industries, we share the same aspirations for space. At the same time, we also have very deep cooperation in the field of intelligent vehicles."

The Lingyun app has been optimized for the MIUI-V5 operating system, resulting in a smoother performance on this new phone.

In fact, Li Ran's requirement for Su Qing and others was to optimize all the smartphone operating systems on the market to the greatest extent possible.

Although this requirement is very broad, the operating systems of smartphones are currently divided into two main categories: Android and iOS.

The vast majority of domestic manufacturers use stock Android.

The MIUI-V5 used in the Migraine 3 is a deeply customized ROM based on the Android system, which is extremely rare.

Therefore, Su Qing and others did not actually have a large workload.

However, Li Ran's words were so pleasing to the ear that Lei, sitting in the audience, looked genuinely moved, which was quite eye-catching.

Just then, Guo Shuyan, who was sitting in the audience, pointed to her wrist, seemingly reminding Li Ran to pay attention to the time.

Then, Li Ran changed the subject:

「众所周知，我们联合工业在8月24日上午10点34分05秒，成功地在祁连山卫星发射中心将一枚自製的名为『联合一号』的液体运载火箭发射升空。

Meanwhile, we also successfully sent a brand-new Lingyun SU7 into space, 200 kilometers above the ground.

Next, I would like to invite everyone to watch a video taken from space by the Lingyun SU7's onboard camera.

As Li Ran finished speaking, the entire illuminated plaza fell into darkness.

Soon, a blue light appeared in the upper right corner of the central screen.

The blue area is getting larger and larger, and patches of white are beginning to appear in it.

When blue occupies three-quarters of the entire image, the outline of the non-European continent becomes clearly visible.

As the image moves, the European and African continents gradually disappear from the lower left corner of the screen.

As the coastlines of West and Central Asia gradually come into view, the blue that was originally in the picture gradually becomes deep, pitch black, and even seems to have a reddish tinge.

The scattered lights converged into a sea, like a giant net, covering the earth as night fell.

As the camera continues to move, the grid of lights converges, growing larger and larger, revealing the outlines of East Asia's topography.

Everyone instinctively looked for their hometown on the map.

Suddenly, the image disappeared, and the illuminated plaza fell into darkness once again.

"Please look up!" Li Ran's voice came from the speakers.

The audience members instinctively looked up, then their eyes widened in surprise.

The camera in the live stream also moved up in sync.

An impressive scene unfolded in the sky.

Several streaks of crimson light flashed across the sky from west to east.

People with good eyesight even saw the shockwaves created by the "meteor".

"The 'meteor' group passing overhead right now is the Lingyun SU7 that just sent back the footage."

It is currently in the process of actively falling into the atmosphere and burning up, breaking into several fragments during the burning process, forming a spectacular "meteor" swarm.

The reason for the deorbiting and re-entry into the atmosphere is to cleanly remove itself and avoid becoming new space debris, thereby reducing space junk.

This is also a responsibility that we, as a major spacefaring nation, should shoulder.

At the end of the press conference, please enjoy the final performance of the new Lingyun SU7.

Soon, the "meteor" swarm flew out of everyone's sight.

When the plaza was once again brightly lit, Li Ran's figure had already disappeared from the central stage.

Only three Lingyun SU7s remained in place.

Before everyone could shake off their melancholy, the three Lingyun SU7s on the stage began to spin in place before automatically leaving the stage.

At this moment, the previously dark screen lit up again.

The two photos are displayed side by side.

On the left is a photo taken on October 1, 2010, showing only two lonely people, Li Ran and Lin Yu.

In the scene, Lin Yu looks into the distance with envy, while Li Ran gently pats Lin Yu's shoulder, seemingly to comfort him.

The photo on the right was taken on August 24, 2013, and the background appears to be not much different from that on the left.

In the scene, Lin Yu is in a state of being thrown into the air, with countless hands raised high below him.

A line of large characters slowly appeared at the bottom of the screen:

"If you have a dream, go for it! Because of courage, my life is more wonderful!"

The following morning, United Industries' website went down.

Li Ran was the first to notice that the official website was down. At the time, he was refreshing the comment section of the website frequently, trying to see the reactions of consumers after yesterday's press conference.

Unexpectedly, while refreshing the page, it suddenly became a 404 error, and after refreshing again, it became a 503 error!

He picked up the landline on the table and made a call to Su Qing:

"Su Qing, the official website is down."

Su Qing, who was still in bed, was a little dazed and didn't immediately understand what Li Ran was saying.

It wasn't until Li Ran emphasized the website outage for the second time that Su Qing, feeling a bit dizzy, finally went to her computer.

Opening the official website link from my bookmarks, a glaring 503 error popped up in my face.

"..." Su Qing rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

When deploying the official website, considering that our business was not very large and for the sake of internal data security, we simply set up a small independent server cluster.

Therefore, the number of backend processes and system file handles were limited.

No matter how many restrictions are imposed, its configuration can easily handle millions of concurrent requests, so there shouldn't be any issues like resource pool exhaustion or connection queue overflow.

With such a large user base, how could it possibly be that big?

Still down?

It feels like we're under a DDoS attack!
