Press Conference (Part 2)

At this moment, the factory grounds had already entered a state of operation. All equipment used for constructing the office buildings had been removed, and the production and manufacturing machinery was fully in place, leaving the entire facility impeccably clean.

Looking at the white production workshops lining the main road and the greenery within the park, everyone nodded in satisfaction; the environment of this factory was quite impressive.

After arriving at the office building in the center of the complex, the group of reporters followed Zhao Yin into a large multimedia room on the first floor.

This multimedia room spanned two full stories, with the single-floor area alone exceeding five hundred square meters. Below the one-meter-high podium at the southern end sat rows of comfortable leather seats.

Behind the podium, an LED screen occupied the entire wall.

Once the reporters had taken their seats and the cameramen had set up their equipment, the lights in the multimedia room dimmed.

A soothing melody began to play, and a familiar blue planet appeared on the screen.

"Blue Star, our beautiful mother planet, the home of humanity, where we have thrived for generations."

"However! Due to humanity's excessive exploitation, the ecological environment and natural resources of this beautiful planet have been devastated. The air and water upon which all things depend for survival are becoming polluted."

"Cities are shrouded in smog, PM2.5 levels are constantly off the charts, and our health and lives are under grave threat!" The video displayed urban areas blanketed in gray haze, with over sixty percent of the pedestrians rushing by in the footage wearing masks.

"But today! We believe! We can save our beautiful home!" The music suddenly turned impassioned.

"We at Titan Environmental have successfully developed an incredible product: the Purification Tree!" As the voiceover in the video ceased, a spherical green plant slowly rose from beneath the floor.

"A single Purification Tree can purify all harmful gases within a one-hundred-square-meter space!"

"Smog? No longer an issue!"

"Second-hand smoke? No longer an issue!"

"Formaldehyde emitted from furniture and renovations? No longer an issue!"

"One Purification Tree can purify all the air in an entire area in just ten minutes, turning your home into a natural oxygen bar and allowing you to breathe the freshest air in the world!"

"This is our: Purification Tree! A green plant that guards the health of your family!"

"It only requires sunlight and water to function. On nights without sunlight, you can maintain its purification function by using the nutrient packs we provide."

"It costs only 618 RMB! The overseas version is 10 USD!"

"If you desire an aromatherapy function..." With the final introduction, the video reached its conclusion, and the Titan Environmental logo reappeared on the screen.

Tang Shizhe walked onto the podium amidst the cheers and applause of those in the room.

"What you have just seen is an artificial plant created by Titan Environmental through genetic programming. It is absolutely safe and harmless! It will not produce any harmful substances or radiation!"

"Alright, I have finished introducing the basics of the Purification Tree. Does anyone have any questions?" Tang Shizhe signaled for the staff to turn on the lights.

"Mr. Tang, we would like to know, can this Purification Tree still work in places without sunlight?" A reporter raised their hand to ask.

"It cannot. Just as we humans need water, if it does not see sunlight for half a month, it will wither and require the purchase of emergency nutrient solution to recover." Tang Shizhe waved his hand.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang!" A female reporter raised her hands high with effort.

"That lady there, what is your question?" Tang Shizhe saw the reporter and nodded toward her.

"Mr. Tang, may I ask what sales method the Purification Tree will adopt, and what is the price of the nutrient packs used for nighttime operation?" Seeing she had been called upon, the female reporter hurriedly stood up.

"That is a good question. Our Purification Tree will begin pre-orders online three days in advance, and we will open our offline and online channels simultaneously after three days."

"If you pre-order three days early, your order will be shipped immediately upon the official release in the order of reservation, or you may pick it up at a physical store yourself."

"As for the price, a nutrient pack that can maintain the Purification Tree's nighttime operation for a month costs only six yuan!" Tang Shizhe made a gesture representing the number six.

"Are there any other questions?" Tang Shizhe checked the time; it was about time to conclude the press conference.

"Mr. Tang, I heard you are still a student; do you have a girlfriend?" At this moment, a female reporter suddenly spoke up, and the room erupted in laughter.

"No!"

"Alright, the press conference ends here. I have prepared a gift for everyone: an aromatherapy version of the Purification Tree 10S! I hope you all like it!" Tang Shizhe waved his hand, and twenty staff members in protective suits pushed twenty carts into the conference hall.

The Purification Trees on these carts were meticulously packaged. The entire tree body was wrapped in a support frame made of biodegradable material, and the outermost layer was a hollowed-out shell woven from the same material, featuring a handle at the very top.

People could see the Purification Tree inside through the hollow shell. This packaging not only ensured the safety of the tree during transport but also allowed those carrying it to enjoy fresh air at all times—it was essentially a living, mobile advertisement.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang!" The reporters thanked Tang Shizhe happily after receiving their Purification Trees.

That day, news about Titan Environmental began to air on various television stations and online media outlets.

People all over the world were shocked, especially by the experimental footage shown on television, which caused a massive sensation.

Although there were various air purifiers available now, the air purified by them often had a strange odor, and the electricity consumed by these devices was no small amount.

But if this Purification Tree was truly as miraculous as claimed, they could completely replace their air purifiers with it!

Silent, aesthetically pleasing, and energy-efficient—these three advantages were enough to crush all other air purifiers on the market!

At the same time, Tang Shizhe began commissioning an agency to recruit peripheral office staff for Titan Environmental.

These office workers were only responsible for the company's daily operations and had no authority to enter any production or research departments.

The activity range for these staff members was limited to the company parking lot and the first, second, and third floors of the office building. The fourth floor was the exclusive workspace for the Splitters and could not be accessed without a dedicated elevator.

The basement level of the office building was a private parking lot and equipment room for high-level management (Tang Shizhe), while the second basement level housed various laboratories and a vault. These areas were only accessible via a dedicated elevator, and the laboratories were guarded by four death-sworn soldiers.
