We Can't Make It

Chu Feng ignored the crowd's astonishment, turning the Origin Mobile in his hand, and the virtual phone on the screen turned with it.

"This is the new first-generation Origin Mobile!"

As Chu Feng explained, everyone's attention returned to the protagonist of the day, the Origin Mobile.

You don't know until you look, and seeing it was a shock. The phone they hadn't paid much attention to before was actually so unique?

[Bezel-less, full screen! This is what a full screen should be. Apple's notch is trash, how dare they call it a full screen?]

[How did they achieve this? Can glass and metal fuse together perfectly? How is it done, please explain.]

[Don't just talk about yourself, even I, a materials science graduate, am baffled.]

[Didn't everyone notice that this phone doesn't have a power outlet? How does it charge?]

[Yeah, there's no data port either. Does that mean you can't transfer data?]

One question after another arose, and Chu Feng satisfied everyone's curiosity by explaining the performance and usage of the phone in detail.

"Have you all experienced fingerprint unlock failing frequently?"

Chu Feng paused, speaking with a chuckle.

Previously, Chu Feng had complained about phone fingerprint unlocks. If your finger was a little wet or sweaty, it wouldn't unlock, especially in humid environments like a sauna, where it was impossible to unlock.

[Exactly! My hands sweat easily, and I have to wipe them every time to unlock it. It's so annoying!]

[There's no way around it, capacitive screens are just like that.]

[Can the Origin Mobile solve this?]

Chu Feng didn't keep them in suspense any longer. He directly placed the phone into a cup of water on the table and then took it out, showing everyone that the Origin Mobile was waterproof.

Pressing the power button, a circle of blue starlight rotated beneath the screen, appearing dreamlike.

He gently pressed his wet finger onto the screen, and with a soft "click," the tactile feedback of pressing a mechanical button was felt.

The interface appeared in his hand, and the scene began to buzz with discussion.

"To prevent anyone from saying that anyone can unlock it, let's invite our celestial beauty, Liu Xuefei, to try it."

Chu Feng invited Liu Xuefei to attempt the unlock.

When Liu Xuefei's delicate hand pressed onto Chu Feng's Origin Mobile, a red cursor appeared, and the unlock failed. Chu Feng tried again, and a green light indicated successful unlock!

How was this achieved?

This seemingly minor issue had always been a point of complaint, but since everyone else had the same problem, there wasn't much to say. However, the Origin Mobile had solved it, so how could they not be curious?

Everyone had had enough. They couldn't unlock it in the rain, after washing their hands, or while showering. Even applying hand lotion made it impossible to unlock. The countless "cannots" had only led to endless frustration and helplessness. Now, the Origin Mobile had solved an awkward problem, so how could they not be interested?

Apple's fingerprint unlock technology was world-class. If even Apple was like this, other phones were even worse.

Chu Feng casually mentioned ultrasonic fingerprint unlock.

In fact, many people knew about this; it had been proposed long ago.

The fingerprint collection module inside the Origin Mobile used ultrasonic fingerprint recognition. Ultrasound's perfect penetration, much like an ultrasound scan, could penetrate liquids to reflect the fingerprint's dermis layer, thus not being affected. Moreover, it greatly increased security, preventing risks like fingerprint films and molds.

Even applying a protective film wouldn't affect the fingerprint recognition performance. It looked much better than Apple phones that had to leave a hole for tempered glass films.

It was just that other companies were too incompetent; their hardware simply couldn't keep up, and they couldn't integrate such components into today's increasingly thin phones.

As for the wireless charging function, it drove the crowd even more wild.

Wired charging had always been a hassle. Charging cables were too long and prone to tangling, or too short and inconvenient. Frequent plugging and unplugging of the charging port would also wear it down, and many phone charging ports broke due to this. Plus, charging cables were always damaged, leading to additional expenses.

Finally, wireless charging emerged, but it had been heavily criticized since its release, as it was merely a gimmick. What was the point of "wireless charging" when the charging base behind it was still there?

It was a useless product; you had to place the phone directly on it to charge, and the charging speed was much slower than wired charging, making it completely impractical.

However, with the Origin Mobile, no charging base was visible, and it began charging directly, and at an incredibly fast speed. In just half a minute, the phone, which was at 98% battery, was fully charged.

The entire venue erupted in astonishment...

[Am I blind? What did I just see? True wireless charging!]

[How did they do it? My new phone can only be a few millimeters away from the charging base, and it charges incredibly slowly!]

[This is definitely black technology!]

[With the Origin Mobile, how can I ever use other phones? They feel so low-tech.]

[Are your wallets ready? I have to buy one when the phone is released.]

[Let the rich try it first...]

As if that wasn't shocking enough, Chu Feng then demonstrated a small, fun feature.

"Everyone's been wondering, what colors does the Origin Mobile come in?"

As soon as Chu Feng said this, everyone agreed. The comments in the live stream also started flooding in.

[Exactly! For someone like me with decision paralysis, choosing a brand and then a color for a phone is agonizingly difficult.]

[Is there anything different about this phone? Even the same color has different shades. Are they going to produce every single shade?]

["But Chu Feng only had a silver-gray color, I didn't see anything else?"]

["I don't get it... Stop keeping me in suspense!"]

["I won't keep you in suspense anymore, the phone has an interesting adjustment called Chroma Settings."]

As if hearing everyone's complaints, Chu Feng continued to demonstrate a special setting.

As Chu Feng made his moves, the giant virtual phone also slowly changed. In the settings, there was a spectrum bar. As Chu Feng's finger slowly dragged it, the silver-gray back of the phone also slowly changed.

["Holy crap, what am I seeing? The back of the phone is changing color! Is this phone a dual-sided display?"]

["Didn't the introduction just say the back was made of special alloy material?"]

["Can alloys change color? What's the principle behind this?"]

["Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live stream..."]

["Ummm, does this phone have to be played like this? Buying one is equivalent to buying all the colors!"]

["Today I'll change to a passionate red, tomorrow a melancholic black, I am the different spark..."]

["Please explain, which master can explain this? I think I'm falling behind..."]

The simple color change of the back shell caused the scene and the live broadcast room to erupt. Apple phones, just having different colors, were sought after, and popular colors even commanded higher prices, which was heavily criticized. Today, Origin Mobile directly allowed everyone to use whatever color they wanted, how could this not make everyone excited!

However, today Origin Mobile showcased too many black technologies, making people's eyes dazzle. Many mobile industry bigwigs sitting in the audience had sharp eyes. They were also feeling apprehensive and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Origin Mobile's pricing, it was positioned in the mid-to-high end, which did not have a significant impact on them. But then, they thought about the people from Samsung and Apple sitting there and showed playful smiles. Who Origin Mobile was targeting was self-evident.

However, it also made them conflicted. Just one of the features casually displayed here would be the main selling point in their phones. But Origin Mobile had released all of them.

["Next, you can see the black boxes in front of you. These are the first-generation Origin Phones gifted to the 1000 invited guests today!"]

Chu Feng's words caused some gasps from the audience. According to Origin Mobile's pricing of 6888, giving away these thousand phones meant 6.88 million.

["Rich and powerful, suckers..."] All sorts of titles were attached.

It seemed like Chu Feng was at a disadvantage, but if you calculated carefully, Chu Feng didn't actually pay much.

Why are electronic products sold so expensively? Is it really due to high manufacturing costs? Just look at those assembled machines.

This is because any new electronic product must have new breakthroughs in materials, new functional components, design, technology, and craftsmanship. This is the result of research and development supported by funds. At the same time, the procurement costs of new components and parts are also higher, and there are no competitors with similar products on the market. Therefore, in order to quickly recover R&D costs and earn maximum profits, the pricing is relatively high when it is first launched. This is also the "ability" of some large companies to lead the "consumption trend" and earn high profits.

The life cycle of electronic products is very short. Look at the iPhone 5, which was very popular and expensive a few years ago. Now it's not even half the price, and it's discontinued. The depreciation speed is very fast.

And does Chu Feng need R&D costs? Everything is readily available. With the Fully Automatic Assembly Platform, only raw materials are needed. Well, it also requires a few minutes of program settings from the Ship's AI...

["No explanation needed, truly a tycoon. I really envy the people present who got them for free!"]

["Several luxury cars were given away like this..."]

["Does the tycoon's thigh need someone to hang onto?"]

["My husband is so rich..."]

["The one upstairs is shameless, Chu Feng is mine..."]

It's going off-topic again...

The press conference also reached its final moments. The black boxes in front of everyone slowly opened, revealing the packaging inside.

The silver packaging box looked very futuristic. Pressing the Origin logo, the box slowly opened. Finally, everyone held the magical Origin Mobile in their hands.

It had a substantial feel in the hand. The back was made of frosted alloy material, feeling slightly cool. The Origin logo reflected different lights, but when the finger gently rubbed it, there was no feeling of unevenness, which was astonishing.

Everyone was curiously playing with their phones, while the professional mobile phone experts brought by the CEOs were also carefully examining the Origin Mobile, not missing any detail. However, the more they looked, the more amazing it became, and the more frustrated they felt. They were all curious about how these were made, let alone others who didn't understand these things.

Many attendees of the press conference were also secretly making phone calls to report the content of the press conference to their headquarters. The headquarters were also discussing whether they could "borrow" the design of the Origin Mobile.

But the result was frustrating. After discussion, the company's researchers unanimously agreed, "We can't do it!"
