Guarding "Knight"!
Most of the car enthusiasts who traveled from afar had this idea in mind; otherwise, they would only be there to watch the press conference and presentation, and there was no need to fly to the venue.
The press conference was held as scheduled the next morning, and reporters and audiences from all over the country flocked to the event, some even coming directly from the airport.
The press conference was packed with people; the huge exhibition hall was full, and even more people were standing around the hall and in the aisles.
Besides the hundreds of reporters, there were at least seven or eight thousand spectators from all over the country. This was only because the time was too short and many people couldn't get plane tickets or were too far away to make it. Otherwise, the venue would probably have been packed with enthusiastic spectators.
It was thanks to Chen Mo's foresight that Michael chose the largest venue; otherwise, if the press conference had been set up as usual, it wouldn't have been able to accommodate all the attendees.
Even so, the exhibition hall was packed to the brim, making it difficult to move around.
But looking at the familiar, stylish and imposing black SUV parked in the middle of the booth, no one complained. Everyone was eagerly anticipating the start of the press conference, as this powerful "Knight" was about to unveil its mysterious veil before them!
The press conference began quickly, but the person who walked onto the stage was not Chen Mo, the president of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, the owner of "Knight," and the protagonist of the manor attack video, as they had expected. Instead, it was a capable middle-aged man in his forties.
Chen Mo did not show his face in the video; everyone only saw his back. Therefore, everyone was full of curiosity about this young tycoon. They were originally looking forward to seeing him at the press conference, but they did not expect him to not come.
Although somewhat disappointed, the crowd quickly quieted down and looked at Michael on the stage with anticipation, after all, the protagonist of this press conference was the "Knight".
"Everyone, let's get straight to the point."
"Today's star is this 'Knight' behind me!"
There were no speeches from leaders, just live performances; Michael went straight into the product introduction segment after taking the stage.
His words were met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. They had come specifically for "The Knight," and although they would have listened if Michael had insisted on giving a self-introduction, his direct approach greatly impressed them, and they all fell silent, listening attentively to Michael's introduction.
"Everyone here has probably seen the videos on our BOSS's Twitter and has some understanding of 'Knight,' but what I want to say is that what you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg!"
"The Knight is a super car with unparalleled overall performance! It's not positioned as an armored car, an off-road vehicle, or a sports car, although it can rival, and even surpass, the top-of-the-line models in every aspect!"
"The true nature of a 'Knight' is just like its name suggests. Defense, strength, and speed are merely its powerful abilities; its true purpose is to protect!"
"Knight is like a loyal and powerful guardian Knight, who will protect its master's safety with its life no matter what dangerous or complex situation it faces!"
"The Knight is 5.2 meters long and weighs only 2.6 tons. Its heart is a 4.0T V6 twin-turbocharged engine independently developed by S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, with a maximum power of 650 horsepower/6600rpm and a peak torque of 750Nm/4500rpm. This top-performing engine is the Knight's warhorse, enabling it to gallop freely and run at Speed Mercedes-Benz!"
"The vehicle weighs only 2.6 tons? Does that mean it's the standard model without armor?"
"My God! It's a V6 engine? I always thought it was a V8 or V10. Can a V6 really have this much power?"
"Could it be that there are many different levels, and the car their boss was driving in the video was the top-of-the-line model, while he was talking about the low-end version?"
The weight and engine of the Knight have raised many questions. Usually, bulletproof vehicles of this size weigh at least three tons, and those with higher protection levels can reach four or five tons. 2.6 tons is not much heavier than a regular off-road vehicle, so it's no wonder that people suspect it is a regular model without bulletproof features.
"The Knight's most robust armor, the outer armor of the vehicle and its entire frame are all made of the new H-2 special alloy. Its cost is extremely high, but at the same time, its physical properties are also very strong. Not only is it lighter, but it is also stronger. The frame made of it can withstand the impact of tens of tons without deforming. Even if it is hit by a heavy truck or run over by a large tanker truck, there is no need to worry about it being crushed. It can provide the most solid safety guarantee for the people inside the vehicle."
"That's amazing?!"
"You're not afraid of heavy trucks? Does that mean you don't have to worry about traffic accidents?"
Upon hearing this, the audience below the stage couldn't help but start discussing it again.
It's important to know that, aside from those who weren't wearing seatbelts, the vast majority of people who die in traffic accidents die because their bodies are crushed due to the deformation of the vehicle during a violent impact.
If an ordinary family car is caught in the accident of a large tanker truck overturning and is crushed under the tank weighing twenty or thirty tons, there is only one outcome: the car and its occupants will be crushed into a metal pancake!
Even if two small cars collide at high speed, the bodies will twist and deform under the violent impact. At best, the legs will be crushed; at worst, they will be crushed to pieces!
If the "Knight's" body is really as sturdy as he claims, then it could escape most fatal car accidents. So, even disregarding bulletproof performance, from the perspective of daily safety for drivers and passengers, having such a robust "Knight" would be a very good choice.
"There are two versions of the Knight model. In the video, our BOSS is driving the regular version of the Knight. Its external armor is only three millimeters thick, which is why the weight of the whole vehicle can be reduced to a very low 2.6 tons."
"Are there really two versions?"
"Three millimeters? Doesn't that mean it has no bulletproof function?"
"But he said the one in the video is the regular version of the 'Knight'!"
"Unless it's really as he says, that the outer armor uses a high-strength, low-density, and expensive Super Alloy!"
"Wouldn't this car cost a very high price to manufacture?"
"Such a powerful car can't be cheap to manufacture, and I'm prepared to spend a lot of money!"
"Same origin! Same origin!"
"I'm not going back until I buy the Knight!"
"If I can actually buy Knight, I'll drive straight back to New York! I'll treat it as a trip! Driving Knight over mountains and exploring everywhere would be amazing!"
