Chapter 10: Paper Airplanes Are Popular
A few minutes later.
Tang Rui upgraded more than ten paper airplanes.
These were enough for him to shoot a short video.
However, the wind outside the window was gusty.
It wasn't a suitable condition to shoot the video he wanted.
Therefore, he turned on the 2-horsepower air conditioner in the living room and adjusted the fan to the maximum.
"Done."
Tang Rui took out his phone, placed it on the stand, adjusted the direction, and pressed the record button.
Because it was a short video, he wasted no time talking to the screen. He picked up the upgraded paper airplane and threw it at the air conditioner.
Whoosh.
The airplane flew straight toward the air conditioner.
When it was about two meters away from the air conditioner, it slowed down.
Then, it swayed in the air twice before hovering steadily in the air.
Then…
Tang Rui continued to throw out more than ten paper airplanes.
Some were suspended in midair, while some were thrown at different angles, causing them to crash instead of aiming at the air conditioner vent.
There was even an in-air collision that resulted in both paper airplanes falling at the same time.
But no matter what, the short three-minute video was already shocking enough.
He didn't even need to use a computer to edit it later. He used the software that came with the website and added some subtitles.
"There's the same paper airplane in the window."
This was the caption he added to the video.
After that, he uploaded the video to WeChat.
At the same time, two kinds of paper airplanes were displayed in the display window.
One was a paper airplane that was upgraded once and sold for five yuan.
The other was a paper airplane that could be upgraded twice. The price was ten yuan.
It was hard to say if he could sell it.
After all, this price was indeed a little too high.
However, this was something that the system had upgraded. If it was too cheap, it would be a little unfair to the system interface.
"I don't care. If I can sell it, then sell it. If I can't sell it, then forget it."
Tang Rui muted his phone, turned off the air conditioner in the living room, and went back to his room to sleep.
…
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"You lied to me again. If I hadn't received nine years of compulsory education, I would have been fooled again."
"Thin iron wire? Some kind of tape? Fishing line?"
"Downloading the video. Will analyze it frame by frame to find the flaws."
"As we all know, videos can't be modified, so this must be real."
"Selling a paper airplane for ten yuan? You must be crazy."
The vast majority of netizens did not approve of the hovering paper airplane.
They all felt that this was a scam.
It was the same as the previous video, where the paper airplane was fixed between two electric fans with a fishing line.
Of course.
Because the video that Tang Rui sent up wasn't edited.
Moreover, he had thrown the paper airplane from his hand. It was more difficult to fake it, so some people were still skeptical.
However, the fact that the paper airplane was hovering in the air was too unbelievable.
Therefore, everyone started to find someone to verify the authenticity of the video.
Among them, Yan Bojun was the one that the netizens looked for the most.
"Why are there so many people sending messages? Did something big happen again?"
Yan Bojun, who was about to sleep, saw that countless people had tagged him backstage. He quickly clicked on the video link.
Three minutes later.
Yan Bojun was dumbfounded when he saw the video being played repeatedly.
Good heavens.
This paper airplane.
How could a person fold such an airplane?
Even a grade-8 worker wouldn't be able to. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦
Gravity and lift perfectly offset each other, and the two forces were absolutely balanced.
This was too awesome.
Although, in theory, paper airplanes that could hover existed, in reality, no one could fold such paper airplanes.
Frowning, Yan Bojun downloaded the video and watched it frame by frame.
The video that Tang Rui uploaded was completely unedited. It was very easy to judge the authenticity of the video.
After reading it, Yan Bojun had an idea.
He took out his phone and started making a video.
"I was about to go to bed when a bunch of people tagged me backstage and asked me to watch a video.
This was the original video. The blogger called Fish Pond threw the paper airplane at the air conditioner.
The paper plane flew steadily and hovered in the air two meters away from the air conditioner.
Then, he continued to throw paper airplanes at the air conditioner. Some succeeded, some failed, and some crashed into the hovering paper airplane.
I downloaded this video. The blogger didn't edit the video at all, and I didn't find any traces of special effects.
Basically, there was no problem with this video.
Since there was nothing wrong with the video, how did the paper airplane in the video hover in the air?
First of all, we need to know why paper airplanes can glide in the air. This involves...
I've already placed an order for the paper airplane. After it arrives, I'll test it out myself.
Do you understand?"
Yan Bojun explained the scientific theories in a very fast manner.
He naturally understood what he understood.
Those who didn't, however, wouldn't understand even after watching his video.
After recording the video, Yan Bojun began editing the video and added subtitles, listing the corresponding formulas.
After he was done, he uploaded it directly.
Along with this video of his being uploaded, it proved that Tang Rui's video was real.
This caused the video of the paper airplane to go viral in an instant.
He had thought it was a scam.
No one cared.
Now, after listening to his explanation, she realized how difficult it was to fold such a paper airplane.
What else was there to say?
Like.
Collection.
It was forwarded.
More and more people saw this video, and it became more and more popular. Naturally, it became a trending topic.
Then, he couldn't suppress it anymore.
The data started to soar.
It could be said that almost all the people who were still playing the game at this time had seen this video.
Of course, not everyone believed it, and there was controversy.
Tang Rui's video was both explosive and controversial. It was unsurprising that it'd become popular.
At the same time, the paper airplanes he put on the shelves were also selling like hotcakes.
After all, five or ten yuan was not much, and buying a paper airplane that could hover seemed like a good deal.
Even if it couldn't hover in the air, it could still be returned.
Therefore, the 500 paper airplanes that he put on the shelves were rapidly decreasing.
…
The next day.
When Tang Rui got up, it was already almost nine o'clock.
She slept until she woke up naturally, and all the fatigue in her body disappeared.
It was comfortable.
Out of habit, she picked up the phone on the bedside table.
Hmm?
99+
Where did he get so much information?
He clicked on WeChat to take a look.
Good heavens.
So many private messages.
Tang Rui was stunned for a moment and clicked open these private messages to take a look at the contents.
Paper planes were popular?
He opened the window.
The 500 fake paper airplanes that he put on the shelves before he went to bed yesterday had already been sold out.
Upon waking up, he had earned 3000 yuan.
The surprise came too suddenly, making him a little uncomfortable.
In fact, these paper airplanes weren't even enough to sell.
Many private messages told him to continue posting paper airplanes.
He thought about the profits of the paper airplane.
Tang Rui even wanted to sing out loud to express the joy in his heart.
