AWB Chapter 381 Necessity
Chapter 381 Necessity
Those twinkling points of light crisscrossed like stars, sparkling like a galaxy in the night sky. It was so beautiful that everyone couldn't help but look up, unconsciously attracted by this beautiful scene.
Just as everyone was admiring this sudden strange sight, countless spots of light suddenly disappeared in unison as if by agreement, as if they had never appeared, as if the scene just now was nothing more than a moon in the water or a flower in the mirror, a brief illusion of everyone.
But soon, the light that had disappeared slowly lit up again.
This time it's not just bright starlight white, but also red, green, blue, yellow and other colors.
It was a mass of light spots made up of countless drones moving across the sky, slowly combining to form a huge number ten.
After that, as each light point went out at the same time, the numbers counted down like a drum, and when they returned to zero, they together formed a blooming firework.
At this moment, the audience had recovered from the shock and realized that this was a drone light show. They began to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them with peace of mind.
With the development of science and technology in recent years, domestic drone technology has made great strides. In addition, the unified ban on the use of fireworks and firecrackers in urban centers in various regions in the past two years has also invisibly provided broad market demand and technological development.
Haiqi, a fashion and technology capital that is at the forefront of the world, is naturally one of the first cities in China to use drones instead of traditional fireworks. People in Haiqi have gradually become accustomed to such drone shows. Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can look up at night and enjoy drone shows in open spaces such as coastal squares.
However, due to technical reasons, the number of drones used in previous performances was limited.
At most, there can be no more than 200 machines at the same time, and they can only piece together some simple patterns at a slow speed.
Never before has a drone show had as many machines as today.
Just by taking a quick glance, one can easily tell from the clarity and precision of the patchwork pattern that it exceeds the specifications of at least nearly a thousand units, or even more.
Because not only the students of Hailan Private High School, but people from the entire city watched this unique performance tonight, and even people from more remote areas could get a glimpse of it.
However, what was most shocking was that in the subsequent performances, the drone not only broke through the previous flat patterns and created a three-dimensional scene, but the scene also moved vividly in the sky.
The moment the pattern moves, it not only marks the advancement of drone technology, but also shows another possibility for the development of drone performances.
Soon, all major media outlets in Haiqi reported this astonishing scene as soon as possible, as if they had agreed in advance. The related topics and popularity were quickly pushed to the top and continued to rise.
After today, not only Haiqi, but also the whole country and even the world will see the broadcast of related videos on major media.
In the future, whenever people talk about drone performances, the first thing that comes to mind and the topic that they will never be able to avoid will be the drone show held on the 30th anniversary of Hailan Private High School.
The performance lasted for a full hour.
The students of Hailan Private High School also broke away from the atmosphere of the campus dance and looked up to focus on this dreamy performance full of technological beauty.
Even Pei Jin, who was extremely excited when he saw the fireworks show at Bai Yuan’s birthday party, was the same.
He first looked up excitedly for a while, then suddenly thought of something and looked at Bai Yuan who was standing next to him. The interest and bright light in the boy's eyes had not diminished at all, shining like a sapphire.
Pei Jin: "Did you arrange this?"
Bai Yuan: “We all thought of this together.”
As the student union president of Hailan Private High School, she naturally had to participate in the planning of the celebration process. This drone show was the result of many members brainstorming and discussing at the conference table, and was finally finalized by her. It was not her credit alone.
Now it seems that the effect is very good and has achieved the ultimate goal of promoting the school to the outside world far beyond expectations.
At this time, the drones in the sky began a new round of changes. By adjusting the colors to achieve a gradual change of colors, it simulated the feeling of the flow of the aurora in the night, which was even comparable to the aurora that Pei Jin saw when he was traveling in the Arctic.
The light in Pei Jin's eyes became brighter, and his sight was attracted to the scene in the sky again. He asked with a bit of curiosity:
"So beautiful! How did you do this? Is technology now capable of this?"
Bai Yuan said casually: "It's not available on the market yet. I wrote this program and code, but I was pressed for time, so there are still many things that need to be perfected..."
"You made it up?!" Upon hearing this, Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan in astonishment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Yeah." Bai Yuan responded without giving any further explanation.
In her opinion, she was just cramming for an exam. She read a few books, studied for a short period of time, and designed this program on a whim.
Theoretically, as long as there are enough drones to form pixel light points, more precise patterns can be created.
The current technology cannot launch so many drones at the same time, and the battery life is also a big problem...
On this basis, Bai Yuan made some directional improvements and, after multiple tests, ensured safety, ultimately allowing more drones to stay in the air at the same time, thus showing the scene that everyone sees today.
She has neither conducted in-depth research nor accumulated relevant academic knowledge. She has only learned a little bit for a few days, so it is not easy to use her knowledge as a basis for discussion.
But even so, it was enough to shock Pei Jin.
As a qualified capitalist, Pei Jin has been influenced by his mother since childhood. He is sensitive to relevant matters and the first thing he thinks of is:
“Have you applied for a patent?”
"No." Bai Yuan replied, not caring about these empty things. "They are just some very simple and basic small programs. They don't require much technical skills. Others can do it, and even professionals can do it better. It's just that no one has thought about it in the short term. Even if I don't do it, someone else will do it later."
In Bai Yuan's opinion, the only ones worth applying for patents are those like his second uncle, a big shot who specializes in armaments, or those who have made major technological or theoretical breakthroughs in academia or practice, achieving a qualitative change from quantitative change, or even affecting the development and future direction of the entire industry.
Forget about this simple entertainment trick that anyone can do by flipping through a book. It's not troublesome enough.
Pei Jin: …
When Pei Jin said "patent", his brain automatically simulated and planned the relevant market. In just a few seconds, he had already begun to consider the quotation when selling the patent.
Seeing that Bai Yuan not only didn't care, but also seemed a little disgusted, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this point, the drone show was coming to an end.
The array of drones in the sky changed again, showing the words "Hai Lan Private High School 30th Anniversary Celebration" and many blessings in the air. If nothing unexpected happens, these photos and texts will appear on the front pages of major news media tomorrow morning, causing widespread heated discussion.
After all the words disappeared, the sky, which had been bustling for more than an hour, finally returned to the tranquility of the night.
Just as everyone was suppressing their excitement and savoring the drone performance just now.
The sky above became bright again.
This time, no text or pattern logos appeared.
A little light first lit up in the center of the night sky, then expanded. In the next second, countless vertical strips of light suddenly exploded around the center of the light and spread outward.
Then more lights came on, freezing the moment of countless fireworks blooming in the night in the same way, as the final closing ceremony of this school celebration.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Bai Yuan asked, recalling Pei Jin's excitement when he saw the fireworks at the birthday party before. She chuckled and said, "Although we can't set off real fireworks now, we can still watch electronic fireworks."
And it is quiet enough not to disturb others.
No matter what time it takes, no matter how long it lasts, it will not make any sound except when the drone itself is operating.
Although there is still some noise, it is very quiet compared to the fireworks and firecrackers that are bombarded all night long.
Therefore, when Bai Yuan said this, his voice was unprecedentedly gentle.
If Bai Yuan's expression had not been so bland when he said this, as if it were no different from a casual chat, Pei Jin would have thought that this electronic fireworks display was specially made by Bai Yuan for him.
But even though he knew it was his own illusion, perhaps the current atmosphere was just too perfect, and it infected many people around him. The mood of excitement and joy spread among the crowd, and Pei Jin's heart was also infected, and it beat uncontrollably because of what Bai Yuan said at this moment.
At the same time, a strange emotion began to spread in his body, blindly looking for an outlet to break through, making him feel a little uneasy.
Just when Pei Jin was puzzled and frowned a little annoyed, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of two people holding hands. The reason why those two people drew his attention was because one of them had two dark and round eye sockets on his face that could not be ignored - Zhang Quan.
The person whose fingers were tightly interlocked with his was Zhao Xin, who had just performed on stage with Pei Jin.
The next second, Pei Jin's azure pupils shrank slightly.
The pupils reflected the reflection of Zhang Quan leaning down to kiss Zhao Xin.
The fireworks that kept blooming in the sky created an extremely romantic atmosphere, which infected many people. A small number of couples couldn't help but do the same intimate and touching behaviors.
At this moment, the heated discussions around him seemed to have faded away. Pei Jin could only hear the violent beating of his own heart and the blood boiling in his body. The inexplicable feeling that made him at a loss was about to burst out.
He looked down at Bai Yuan who was standing nearby. Even in such an environment, the other party still maintained her usual elegant and calm demeanor, as if she would never be affected by anyone or anything.
The brilliant lights of the fireworks shone on her cool profile, softening the lines of the girl's face subtly.
Pei Jin's gaze fell from Bai Yuan's profile to the corner of her mouth which was slightly smiling. A bold idea arose in his mind, and the impulse that was about to overflow urged him to take action.
He remembered that Bai Yuan had said before...
If necessary...
Now, does it count as...
necessary……?
Pei Jin's eyes flickered slightly, he lowered his eyelids, bent down, held his hot breath, and with his heart beating so violently that it was about to jump out of his chest, he slowly approached the direction of Bai Yuan.
As he moved, the distance between the two people became closer and closer. Just when he passed the safe distance, Bai Yuan suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look back with sharp alertness.
The girl's glance was no longer as calm and composed as before. There was obvious vigilance in her eyes, and there was a cold and sharp flash in her pupils, shooting straight at Pei Jin. From this angle, she was instantly beautiful and a little frightening.
Soon, after seeing clearly who was approaching, Bai Yuan's guardedness disappeared again, and then she placed a hand between the two of them, blocking Pei Jin's next move, allowing the somewhat hot kiss to fall on her palm.
Bai Yuan raised his hand to cover Pei Jin, and without any force, he stopped his excessive behavior.
"Next time." Bai Yuan looked at Pei Jin's puzzled, shining blue eyes, smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched Pei Jin's face, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm not ready."
Although she had told Pei Jin before that he could cooperate appropriately if necessary, she also said a bunch of rules that almost overloaded Pei Jin's brain.
But when it came time to actually put it into practice, Bai Yuan found that he might have overestimated his level of acceptance of this kind of thing.
How should I put it? Swapping saliva is already weird, and exchanging saliva in public with so many people around is even weirder!!!
Bai Yuan didn't know how the couples around him could be so absorbed in this kind of thing. Besides, it was just a drone show. Why would anyone want to do this at this time???
Bai Yuan couldn't care less about what others did, nor did he want to care, but since Pei Jin wanted to drag him along at the moment, forget it. There was no need to have such a sense of collective participation in such matters.
Bai Yuan's action of stopping him and the volume of his words woke Pei Jin up as if from a dream. The young man came back to his senses. He was stunned at first, and then his eyes showed the anger and shame of being rejected.
But soon, the cool feeling on the side of his face that was easily smoothed out by Bai Yuan's action made up for the huge psychological gap.
What's more, Bai Yuan looked at him with an extremely serious and sincere look at this moment, which made Pei Jin accept her words immediately.
After realizing how abrupt what he was about to do was, Pei Jin felt his face burning. He turned his face away so that she would not notice his abnormality at the moment, and just said "hmm" randomly.
Pei Jin neither overreacted like before by waving away Bai Yuan's hand nor made any excuses for his behavior. He once again pretended to be very busy and as if he didn't care about the matter at all, and looked up at the electronic fireworks.
I couldn’t help but wonder when and under what circumstances Bai Yuan would be referring to “next time”.
