CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 82: AFTERMATH!

The vast conference hall was silent.

Guests and exhibitors from all over the world were sitting in their seats, eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

A miracle!

This is absolutely a miracle, a technology that only gods could create!

At this moment, everyone’s mind was filled with this absurd idea.

They felt that their worldview, which had been solidified in their minds, collapsed after witnessing the miracle just now.

Is this the speed a large transport ship should have? Why does it feel like a speedboat?

Just now, the scene of the Jade Island LNG ship shooting out like a rocket was witnessed by everyone.

It was precisely because of this that they felt an incredible sensation in their hearts.

This... this is not scientific!

How could such a large tonnage transport ship shoot out so easily?

What kind of powerful propeller would this require?

In an instant, everyone was plunged into shock.

On the stage, Park Renyong had a completely opposite expression.

His face was ashen, extremely ugly!

His eyes were bulging, staring intently at the image on the screen, his lips trembling slightly, evidently startled.

Compared to the exasperated expression on his face, within his heart, there was more of a feeling of utter hopelessness.

Although he didn’t know what technology Jade Island used, it was apparent that it far surpassed Samsung Heavy Industries’ super-cavitating technology.

This time, their Samsung Heavy Industries had lost disastrously, and Park Renyong couldn’t even imagine the devastating impact this would have on Samsung Heavy Industries.

But no matter what, as the president, he had to bear all the responsibility and shoulder all the blame.

At this time, the words of Crown Prince Lee Jae-yong echoed in his mind again, and a feeling of terror quickly enveloped his body, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

It’s over!

All over!

In an instant, Park Renyong felt as if he had aged ten years, losing all strength and spirit, and collapsed onto the stage.

...

South Korea, Dongdaemun Square.

The originally bustling and lively square suddenly became desolate.

A large number of ordinary Korean citizens, like wilting eggplants, all dejectedly fled the scene.

And the huge LED screen in the square had somehow been turned off.

The air was filled with a dead silent atmosphere.

Shou’Er, Cheongwadae.

Lee Jae-yong, sitting in the main seat, had a face as dark as if it could drip water, and all the other national leaders present looked like coal heads, full of defeat.

The next moment, Lee Jae-yong slammed the table, grabbed the teacup beside him, and hurled it harshly at the live broadcast screen in front.

"Baka sumida!"

...

This moment could definitely be described as a disastrous day for the Korean people.

One second before, the entire nation was filled with grand jubilation, but the next moment, just like Hiroshima bombed by an atomic bomb back then, desolate and bleak.

This drastic drop from heaven to earth left countless people unable to accept it, and for a while, major hospitals in Korea’s cardiac departments began to frequently receive emergency calls.

...

Compared to the tragic scene of wailing in Korea, the rest of the world was plunged into revelry!

According to calculations by some experts and scholars, the maximum sailing speed of the Jade Island LNG ship in the live video successfully broke the 40-knot barrier!

You know, internationally, the fastest speed for large transport ships of 100,000 tons does not exceed 15 knots.

But just now, the Jade Island LNG ship was able to achieve nearly three times the speed increase!

What kind of concept is this?

Here’s an illustrative analogy.

One day, the cheetah, hailed as the "king of land speed," suddenly found that the silly elephant, which had always only been played with by it, was charging towards it at a far greater speed...

The global audience who watched this sailing competition were deeply shocked by the technical prowess of Jade Island and became extremely excited and thrilled.

They all knew that behind this technology of Jade Island, there would definitely be transformative changes for the entire world!

This was just their first feeling, but as for in which areas it could lead to significant changes, they didn’t have such a deep understanding yet.

And at this moment, those who probably felt this revolution most deeply were aviation industry practitioners and a wide rage of stock investors.

As early as when Park Renyong publicly announced that the super-cavitating propeller developed by Samsung Heavy Industries could increase the speed of existing ships by 50%, global aviation stocks experienced some volatility.

Fortunately, after a slight decrease in stock prices, they immediately stabilized, allowing industry practitioners a slight sigh of relief.

However, they absolutely did not expect that before they could catch their breath, a greater blow would suddenly arrive, even more intensive than before.

The stocks of all aviation industries and related sectors worldwide plummeted, miserably reduced!

The ripple effect was that all those global aircraft manufacturing companies started convening discussions, brainstorming responses to this sudden disaster.

For them, if effective measures are not taken, the impact of this industrial change is significant enough to determine their futures.

...

Of course, besides the major enterprises, among ordinary people, there were more sounds of joy and celebration.

Online, praises for Jade Island and Jiang Cheng reached yet another peak after the emergence of flying cars.

"Isle Master Jiang is awesome! We bow in submission!"

"What a slap in the face! Ouch! I’m out of here..."

"Isle Master Jiang for a thousand years, to rule the world!"

"Hahaha, now Jade Island is really going to dominate the world; first flying cars, then high-speed transport ships. Is Isle Master Jiang going to develop spacecraft next?"

"Indeed, that should be the idea. Isle Master Jiang first developed things that fly in the sky, then those that run on the sea, and the next step is only to float in space..."

"Hahaha, extremely exciting, speaking of which, a passenger ship that boosts speed threefold shouldn’t be slower than a regular train, right? This makes going home much more convenient."

"Exactly, this is definitely a major benefit for the shipping industry! Isle Master Jiang has changed the world once more, Jade Island is powerful!"

"Jade Island, truly a technological paradise, Samsung punks get lost!"

"Isle Master Jiang, keep it up, we look forward to your next high-tech marvel!"

"Actually, I only care about when we ordinary people can take these high-tech ships; I imagine flying over the sea must be a unique experience, right?"

"Brother, it’s better you didn’t mention this; the Middle East has long started using flying cars, and our country hasn’t got any good news yet, as for high-speed passenger ships, just wait!"
