Chapter Ninety-Four: Light Fills the Dark World

As the host, Qin Mengyao, finished speaking, Sun Yan, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, was slowly led onto the stage with the help of two staff members. At the center of the stage, a curtain was drawn back, revealing a piano placed beneath it.

Guided by the staff, Sun Yan took a seat beside the piano.

Do re mi...

After a few simple notes for tuning, Sun Yan’s hands found the positions of the keys with perfect accuracy, and soon a piano piece began to flow out in a slow, resonant tide.

Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Fate!

Almost at once, media guests from Western countries recognized the piece. Beethoven’s piano works were extremely famous; anyone who loved the piano could more or less identify them.

The music was deep and sorrowful, yet within that sorrow there was tenacity, a struggle against fate, and steadfast devotion to a dream. At that moment, Sun Yan seemed to become Beethoven himself. Beethoven had been deaf and unable to hear; Sun Yan was blind and unable to see the world. Yet both possessed the same unwavering devotion to music, and both refused to submit to fate, stubbornly resisting the hardships it dealt them.

When the final note faded, the crowd still lingered in the sorrowful melody. Only when Sun Yan rose and bowed to everyone present did they slowly come back to themselves, and then thunderous applause broke out across the venue.

All right, thank you very much for Mr. Sun Yan’s wonderful performance. Of course, the reason we invited Mr. Sun Yan here today is, first, to hear his beautiful piano playing, and second, to use him to showcase the new technological products of Fuyun Technology Group.

Qin Mengyao walked back onto the stage and came to stand beside Sun Yan. One major reason Sun Yan had agreed to perform today was that Fuyun Technology Group had promised him they could restore his eyesight and let him see light again.

I’m also very much looking forward to it. Please, go ahead and show me what your company has. It’s all right.

At this moment, Sun Yan looked extremely moved, as if he had already made up his mind about something. His family had told him about Fuyun Technology Group before, and he knew it was a biotechnology company. Perhaps they really could help him regain his sight.

Mr. Sun Yan, please don’t worry. Our product will not cause you any harm.

Qin Mengyao smiled. Soon a staff member came onstage holding a collarlike device in his hands. At the center of the black collar was something resembling a camera. The staff member came to Sun Yan, placed the collar around his head, positioned the camera precisely between his brows, and then gently pressed the power button.

Sun Yan, who had been full of expectation, now waited quietly, not understanding why the people from Fuyun Technology Group had put a collarlike device on his head.

However, before he could think further, he distinctly felt a very faint current pass over the top of his head, and then, all at once, a vivid and colorful world appeared in his mind: a huge stadium, its entire interior arranged like a realm of science fiction.

On the stage, which was not too large, a beautiful female host was smiling at him. Below the stage, media reporters from all over the world aimed their long and short lenses toward the platform, and farther away was an immense crowd.

Sun Yan could not help looking up at the sky. Bright sunlight, a clear blue expanse without a single cloud. After more than a decade, Sun Yan finally saw the sunlight again, and saw the colorful world once more.

Ha, this, this is unbelievable!

His whole body began to tremble with excitement. He knew very well that this was not the world he was seeing through his own eyes. It was a new world projected directly into his brain by that collarlike device on his forehead, as though he were seeing it with his own sight.

Mr. Sun Yan, may I ask if you can now see the other people?

Qin Mengyao asked with a smile.

Yes. Host, you are truly beautiful, especially in that white dress. You look as lovely as a fairy.

Turning toward Qin Mengyao, Sun Yan still could not hide the agitation in his heart. Through the device on his head, he had even made out the white dress she was wearing.

Oh, my God, just what kind of technology has Li Fu developed, to be able to restore a person’s sight instantly?

Below the stage, foreign media reporters could not help exclaiming. Such a living example was right before their eyes: a blind man who had needed support only moments ago could, in the next instant, accurately describe the color of the host’s clothes. It was simply inconceivable.

Could it be that strange collar on his head? What kind of technological product is this, to restore sight instantly? It’s truly miraculous.

Naturally, everyone immediately thought of the strange collar Sun Yan had just put on. There had to be a connection, and one after another they could not help making their guesses.

Thank you for your compliments, Mr. Sun Yan. Please rest for a moment to the side. Next, we invite ten friends who came to attend our product launch to come onstage and experience this miraculous technological product that can restore sight instantly.

Smiling, Qin Mengyao nodded and asked Sun Yan to step down and rest. Without any help at all, Sun Yan walked off the stage as naturally as any ordinary person. As soon as people heard there would be a chance to experience this brand-new technology, everyone below eagerly raised their hands high.

All right, let us invite this gentleman in black, this blonde lady, this lady in red...

With a smile, Qin Mengyao randomly selected ten people from below the stage. There were men and women among them, some from within the country and some from abroad, with a mix of white, yellow, and black skin tones. Those called up all looked excited and hurried onto the stage.

Please have the staff blindfold them.

Soon, staff members carrying black eye masks came onto the stage and covered the eyes of all ten people, leaving not the slightest gap, so that they could see nothing at all, just like blind people.

Please have the staff put our company’s technological product, the Third Eye, on them.

After their eyes were covered, the staff quickly fitted each of the ten people with a collarlike device. The camera position was, as before, right at the center of the forehead.

Activate!

The staff member lightly pressed the power button. After a very slight current passed through, a world seen by a camera unfolded in the minds of the ten participants.

Oh, my God, unbelievable!

Oh, this is so cool!

Ha, this, this can actually transmit what the camera sees directly into the brain!

In an instant, the ten people who had taken part in the test could not help exclaiming in wonder. They waved their hands repeatedly before their faces like curious children, and some even struck themselves hard, wanting to make sure they were not dreaming, because everything before them was simply too unbelievable.

This beautiful lady, may I ask your name?

Qin Mengyao walked up to a blonde, blue-eyed Western beauty and asked with a smile.

My name is Julie, and I’m from England.

Julie answered with a radiant smile.

Julie, could you tell us how you feel right now?

Of course. It’s incredible. I feel as though I have an extra eye on my forehead. It can send everything around me directly into my brain, and it is even clearer than what I see with my own two eyes. It’s truly amazing, beyond belief.

With a highly exaggerated expression, Julie conveyed the shock in her heart. Once the collar was on, it was as if she had gained another eye, and it was even clearer than seeing the world with her own eyes. Even things at a great distance could be seen with perfect clarity.

Very well, thank you, Ms. Julie, for sharing your feelings.

And this gentleman, would you mind telling everyone how you feel right now?

Qin Mengyao quickly turned the microphone toward the next person being tested.

This is a miracle. When I was still below the stage, I was full of doubt. It was only a strange collar, yet it could let someone regain sight instantly. But now I have to say this truly is a groundbreaking technological product, a very, very great one, like a miracle.

The black man’s expression was especially enthusiastic. As he spoke, he kept waving his hands, unable to conceal the excitement in his heart.

All right, thank you very much for sharing.

Qin Mengyao smiled and continued to the next person. Very soon, all ten participants had shared their excitement and amazement. By now, each of them seemed to have come to a sudden realization, and all of them understood why Sun Yan had been able to regain his sight instantly.

This did not mean Sun Yan’s blindness had truly been cured. Rather, another advanced technological method had been used: a camera captured the images and then sent them directly into the brain, indirectly accomplishing the goal of restoring sight and letting him see this colorful world again.

Below the stage, the media reporters from around the world, as well as the domestic and foreign audience, had originally not believed that Fuyun Technology Group could really make someone put on a strange collar and instantly regain sight. But after the ten volunteers shared their experiences, they more or less understood what was going on.

Naturally, this only made the spectacle even more astonishing. Sending the information captured by a camera directly into the human brain sounded simple enough, but the technology involved was clearly far from simple. Otherwise, products like this would already have appeared in the world long ago.

This involved many high-tech fields, including electronics, biology, optics, and more. Of course, the most crucial field of all was naturally biotechnology. How Fuyun Technology’s product managed to transmit information directly into the human brain was the real key.
