Chapter 1408: Chapter 1268 Every Step is Beyond Expectation!
When the virtual world reopened, it was still late night in Daxia.
Although they did not have to go to work the next day, after briefly exploring the virtual world and discovering no obvious changes, most players still went to bed early, given that the [Cradle Plan] new game had not gone online.
——Even the heavy-duty players and professional streamers did so.
They were confident in their ability to stay up late, but space is so vast, how could it be understood in a short period of time?
Not to mention, Lincoln was set to hold a press conference the next morning, and after the press conference, a bunch of games would be launching online.
If they did not want to miss out on this grand event, they had to get some proper rest now!
Many users overseas——especially those on the other side of Earth in America, adjusted their schedules to accommodate the timing of the press conference, even if they weren’t sleepy, they forced themselves to sleep early, all in preparation for the post-conference new game launch wave.
The anticipation among the players had been building for so long, it was about to burst!
Interestingly, intelligence agencies and aerospace organizations worldwide also held a subtle expectation for the press conference.
Staff of the intelligence agencies still believed: what was transported from the experimental base to the Tongchuan rocket engine test stand was a smoke grenade.
The item Lincoln planned to unveil at the press conference was definitely not this engine!
But aerospace engineers were truly hoping it wasn’t a smoke grenade.

Based on the engine test results observed previously, seasoned aerospace engineers estimated: this new engine really was powerful, its tail flame’s color suggested it was very different from traditional liquid engines.
A rough estimation of the power output suggested it was about thirty percent stronger than existing rocket engines.
This was indeed powerful!
But it wasn’t out of reach, let alone “revolutionary”—adopting an optimistic view, with the current level of R&D investment, their own rockets could catch up to this thrust within three years.
However, this was just a rough estimate, and more critical metrics like thrust ratio and the potential of the technology pathway were still undefined.
To know more detailed information, they had no choice but to wait for Lincoln to announce it himself.
If this engine wasn’t a smoke grenade, Lincoln would certainly elaborate on it at the press conference.
Not only would that provide more inspiration to the aerospace industry, but it could also prompt their governments to allocate more funding for scientific research, to avoid falling behind Daxia in the aerospace industry competition.
Two birds with one stone, all good things!
The only uncontrollable aspect was if this engine was so outlandish that its release could instantly make all current technology paths obsolete, turning the engineers of traditional techniques completely outdated.
But the likelihood of that was slim——since it still required a traditional rocket engine test stand, it meant it remained within the previous aerospace industry system, and the difference wouldn’t be too great.
So…they just had to wait and enjoy the show!
…
…
This global sense of anticipation and curiosity persisted for a full ten hours.
Twenty minutes before the press conference began, Cloud Dream finally made a move.
All users within the virtual world simultaneously received an invitation letter—
「Dear user:
Hello!
The Cloud Dream 2031 Global Press Conference is about to commence, estimated to last two and a half hours (10:00—12:30).
If you have the time, we cordially invite you to join us.ã€
As they received the invitation, a window appeared in front of everyone—
[Do you wish to teleport to the conference site?]
[Yes]/[No]
Players, users, media, and all manner of characters who had eagerly awaited this moment, pressed confirm.
Their bodies transformed into streaks of light as they were teleported to the conference site.
Simultaneously, the Cloud Dream Official Live Room lit up, showing an empty podium with a single microphone on screen.
The Cloud Dream APP also sent out notifications to players who had pre-registered, reminding them not to miss out.
Inside the conference hall, the atmosphere went from silent anticipation to a buzz of excitement in an instant!

“Victoria!
Over here!
Over here!” Victoria happily waved at Shuihua from the second row.
Shuihua turned around, joyfully responding to Victoria’s call.
After clapping Yelang on the shoulder, Yi suddenly became a bit guarded, politely greeting Yelang’s sister.
Super Tomato was bewildered to find himself sitting in the front row beside his university professor, his face a picture of confusion.
——The conference setting still employed the mirror instance format.
There was only one podium, but the hall accommodating the attendees had countless mirror instances to hold the billions of users.
Thanks to Lincoln’s careful planning, the invited players weren’t randomly thrown into a mirror instance.
Teammates were teleported together, and friends were matched together as best as possible, leading to many acquaintances in the same hall, contributing to a very lively atmosphere.
Members of different organizations and associations of the space city appeared en masse in the same hall.
Thomas, the farm owner, sat with many downstream shopkeepers, discussing the insurance fund pool of the space city being drained and declared bankrupt on the spot after the Alien Calamity, leaving them short on compensation.
Of course, this also caused a small mishap: two players who had over fifty mutual friends but were not friends with each other, were, according to this allocation method, seated together.
However, this algorithm seemingly did not consider the reasons for this occurrence…
