Genius scientist Bulma had developed the first batch of Universal Capsules as early as 1963.
It took nearly fifty years before the capsules were officially released to the public. The delay was primarily to avoid overwhelming the world with such a revolutionary technology, which might have been difficult for the public to accept.
Another reason for the delay was the high price of the Universal Capsules, which were positioned as luxury products targeted at the wealthy. The average person simply couldn't afford them.
Launching the capsules before the turn of the millennium would have been difficult to profit from.
Unless they partnered with other countries, but that would have meant sharing a significant portion of the profits.
While Han Shaoqing and Bulma weren't particularly interested in money, they didn't like the idea of their profits being diluted.
As for the risk of the Universal Capsules being pirated after their release?
Bulma had no concerns about this. The core technology was controlled by her and SkyNet alone.
Unless someone obtained alien technology, it would take at least twenty to thirty years for Earth's current technology to crack the Universal Capsule's technology.
Many countries coveted this groundbreaking Space Technology, but Bulma refused to share it. They couldn't obtain it, which was a testament to the Hongmeng Group's formidable power.
Over the decades, the Hongmeng Group had faced considerable challenges. The immense wealth generated by its meteoric rise inevitably threatened the interests of some.
The struggle for capital has always been brutal.
With a 10% profit, it will be used everywhere;
With 20%, it will come to life;
With 50%, it will provoke active speculation;
With 100%, it will make people disregard all law;
With 300%, it will make them fear neither crime nor the gallows.
If chaos and conflict bring profit, they will be encouraged.
For the sake of profit, many countries and factions have sent spies into the Hongmeng Group to steal secrets, employing all sorts of cunning tactics.
But the Hongmeng Group's core technology has never been leaked. Intruders face a myriad of mutated humans and the all-seeing SkyNet, leaving them nowhere to hide—every attempt is a futile sacrifice.
Spies are either turned into double agents or end up dead in the streets. And their masters? They follow their agents to the grave that very day.
Enmity doesn't wait for the night—touch them and they die. Whoever comes will have their teeth knocked out!
Even with the Hongmeng Technology Group's easily crackable low-end technologies—computers, software, mobile phones—once Hongmeng registers the patents, anyone who dares to imitate or manufacture them without permission will face swift and brutal retaliation.
At best, they would be crushed into bankruptcy; at worst, they would be struck down by heavenly lightning.
In short, anyone who dared to steal from Primordial Harmony Technology would meet a miserable end.
Over time, no one dared to covet Hongmeng Technology. Even the so-called great powers, if they wanted to profit, had to follow proper procedures and seek cooperation opportunities.
This was Hongmeng: its methods were always swift and decisive, its dominance absolute.
In the grand hall of the Hongmeng Group, numerous dignitaries from around the world had gathered, including military leaders, government officials, and business magnates. Iron Man Tony Stark was among them.
Tony Stark was basking in glory. Since revealing his identity as Iron Man, Stark Group's stock had surged by 5%, drawing intense public attention.
However, his condition was precarious. Shrapnel remained lodged in his heart, and only the Arc Reactor had kept him alive. But the reactor's radiation was gradually taking its toll on his body.
Tony Stark had come to China not only to accept an invitation to seek cooperation with Hongmeng Group, but also to leverage the group's cutting-edge new energy technology to solve his own problem.
Second-Generation White Queen Emma was also present at the banquet, partly to support Bulma and partly to use her Telepathy to observe the crowd and prevent anyone from taking desperate measures to disrupt the product launch.
As the crowd surged, Bulma, exuding elegance and dressed in a luxurious gown, stepped onto the stage.
At that moment, Bulma was like a perfectly ripe peach, her beauty frozen at its peak. Her commanding presence, like that of a queen, silenced the previously boisterous hall.
Lecherous Tony Stark's eyes lit up.
A notorious playboy, just like his late father Howard Stark, he couldn't resist trying to flirt with beautiful women.
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in chatter.
"So this is Bulma, the chairman of Hongmeng Group. She's truly stunning."
"Don't get any ideas. This woman is no pushover. Anyone who's tried to make a move on her has met a bad end."
"Is the Universal Capsule really that miraculous?"
"If it's from Hongmeng, it's guaranteed to be top-quality!"
"The US has been researching Space Technology for over twenty years without any breakthroughs. Hongmeng's technology is truly terrifying!"
***
Hearing the murmurs from below, Bulma addressed the crowd in clear, decisive Chinese: "Welcome to the Hongmeng Group. As they say, seeing is believing. To save time, I'll get straight to the point. Let me demonstrate the effect of the Universal Capsule."
With that, Bulma approached a motorcycle displayed in the exhibition hall, holding the Universal Capsule. She touched the vehicle and pressed a button on the capsule.
In the next instant, the motorcycle vanished before the eyes of the crowd, disappearing into the Universal Capsule.
"It actually disappeared!"
"Space Technology! The Hongmeng Group lives up to its reputation."
"Rumor has it their rapid development stems from contact with alien civilizations."
"Is that true?"
"Don't be ridiculous! Aliens don't exist."
Many countries were researching Space Technology, but technical barriers had prevented any breakthroughs. Even a genius scientist like Tony Stark couldn't penetrate the spatial domain.
Now that Space Technology had appeared before them, their eyes widened in astonishment.
Bulma pressed the button on the capsule again. In the next moment, the motorcycle reappeared in the exhibition hall.
Witnessing the motorcycle vanish before their eyes without a trace, only to reappear perfectly intact, sent the crowd into a frenzy.
"As you've seen, the Universal Capsule developed by our company utilizes Space Technology. Capsules of different models offer varying internal capacities, providing unparalleled convenience," Bulma announced.
"Not just motorcycles—we can store anything from toys and appliances to houses and yachts, provided the capsule's internal space is sufficient."
Bulma's confident voice made the assembled businessmen, officials, and journalists hold their breath.
No one doubted her words.
Had any other company unveiled the Universal Capsule, skepticism might have arisen.
But Hongmeng was different. As the undisputed authority in mechanical technology, certified by the United Nations, they were beyond reproach.
As Bulma explained the capsule's capabilities, especially to military and government officials, their eyes lit up with avarice. They immediately grasped the immense potential for profit and strategic advantage.
Calling the Universal Capsule a world-changing invention would be no exaggeration.
Properly implemented, it could even reshape the global balance of power.
