Break out of the courtyard

As public opinion both at home and abroad grew stronger, Zhang Heping remained unperturbed, staying on the top floor of the Big Health Medical Research Institute to conduct his research on regenerating brainwave replication.

The data filling of the Dream Library has come to a temporary halt. Before brainwave replication technology is developed, there is no need to include many core technologies in the virtual dream world.

The virtual learning dreamland on the first floor of the library remains open to the public.

Over at the virtual dream classroom, ever since Zhang Heping announced that the virtual dream of the Korean War was completed, the Americans have been forbidden from experiencing it.

Logically speaking, those Americans have worked so hard for so long, they deserve some credit, even if they don't have any merit. Letting them experience it for themselves wouldn't be a big deal.

However, those Americans should never have denied that the United States had used biological weapons on the battlefield when Zhang Heping was constructing a virtual dream of the Korean War!
If it weren't for these troublemakers causing a ruckus and prompting the capital to send Zhang Bing and Old Company Commander Zhao to relay a message, Zhang Heping would have joined the sixth battle, a battle that involved both fighting and negotiations.

The Battle of Die Xue Ling and the Battle of Shangganling, which are well-known to the Chinese people, took place in this sixth battle!

Zhang Heping was dissatisfied that Lao Zhang was siding with outsiders and speaking up for people from the capital, so he simply abandoned the project and stopped working on the virtual dream of the Korean War.

As for what others said about Lao Zhang worrying that the participants would lose the battle, it was nothing more than a fig leaf for Lao Zhang and Company Commander Zhao to cover up their compromises with the Americans.

If it weren't for the two of them, Zhang Heping wouldn't have cared about the opinions from the capital and would have just finished the job, ignoring the protests from the Americans. Anyway, the information he got while he was offline included flight data on the Americans dropping bacterial bombs.

Putting aside the virtual dream of the Korean War, Zhang Heping has already explained everything clearly regarding the attack on Unit 731 on the Japanese island. His subordinates only need to follow his instructions.

Otherwise, Zhang Heping wouldn't have had time to stay in the lab and do research.

If brainwave replication can be achieved between brain regeneration servers, it may be possible in the future to directly copy knowledge into the human brain, thereby reducing learning time.

The idea was good, but Zhang Heping had been researching it for so long without finding a clue, which suddenly made him feel a little frustrated.

Without the cheat codes, I feel like I'm nothing at all.

But this feeling comes and goes quickly.

The solution is simple: bring out a group of researchers specializing in biological brain servers and regenerative brain servers, and let them explore and study them.

As long as they can grasp even the slightest inspiration, put it on paper, and report it to him, he can activate the skill proficiency boost for that skill!
So when his eldest nephew Zhang Yi consulted him on how to quickly train the new members of their brain-computer interface research team, Zhang Heping sent Zhang Feng, Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu back to Shenzhen.

Shenzhen Peace Academy insisted on not lending its laboratory to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Heping did not agree to the Chinese Academy of Sciences' proposal to jointly establish the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenzhen Brain-Computer Technology Research Institute. As a result, Zhang Yi's brain-computer research team of 100 people remained an uncertain entity.

Sending Zhang Feng, Zhang Long, and Zhang Hu back serves two purposes: first, to continue training them in constructing dreams using the biological brain server; and second, to have them keep an eye on the newcomers using game helmets to control their mental power.

Logically speaking, giving them some gold-rimmed glasses would allow them to get started more quickly.

However, Zhang Heping only gave Zhang Yi and Luo Yi a pair of gold-rimmed glasses each, leaving none for Nanjing or Harbin. His intentions were so obvious that everyone could see through them.

On the sixth day of the public outcry, the Peace Law Firm launched another attack, publicly representing the WWII victims from China, Taiwan, North Korea, South Korea, Singapore, India, and other countries in filing lawsuits against the Japanese government in courts in multiple countries, seeking a total of 10 trillion RMB in damages!

Putting aside whether the lawsuit can be won or whether the compensation can be obtained, the key point is the posture of using the power of multiple parties to pressure the Japanese government!
To this end, they even dragged victims from several blacklisted countries, including South Korea and India, into the discussion, creating a sense of shared hatred and indignation.

However, this offensive can only be considered a supplementary measure.

The real main focus was on the cruel research conducted by Unit 731, the biological warfare unit on Japanese islands.

That afternoon, Peace Media released a video recording.

In the video, a veteran from Japan recounts his experiences at Unit 731 on Japan Island from 1932 to 1945. At the end, he also donated some photos taken at the bacteriological research base.

Japan firmly denied this and began investigating all personnel who had evacuated from Unit 731 in an attempt to silence them!

However, on September 3, the following day, Peace Media released another video, which was still a first-person account from a veteran of the Japanese island unit, still exposing the crimes committed by the Japanese Unit 731 in Harbin!

However, this oral presentation, along with some photos and written materials, cannot have a strong impact on the general public and will be forgotten in a short time.

Therefore, starting from September 4th, a movie called "731" began its global promotion, with the release date set for 0:00 on September 18, 1994!
September 18th!

This is a special day, marking the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China.

Chinese people all over the world should remember this date and this event!

As trailers and posters for the "731" movie were released, the bloody and cruel scenes began to challenge the perceptions of everyone with a conscience.

Next came the review and approval process for the "731" film sample!

With the backing of financial power, most countries' video censorship agencies approved the videos without objection.

The Americans discovered that the entire film had nothing to do with the United States, and since the US government's Xiao Ke wanted to curry favor with Zhang Heping, the film passed the censorship smoothly.

However, when the sample copies of the "731" films were sent to the Japanese Island Video Ethics Association, they refused to approve them on the grounds of violence and gore. In the end, they didn't even return the sample copies, claiming that they had already been destroyed!
Now we have news material again!
However, none of these are the main points. The main point is that the Japanese did not return the sample copies of the "731" films.

What are they trying to do by not returning the sample copies of the "731" films?
They simply wanted to find former members of Unit 731 on the Japanese island to verify how many real events were depicted in the film, thereby determining how much evidence the Peace Group and the mainland possessed.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Japanese devils wouldn't return the sample copies of the "731" films, which was already part of Zhang Heping's plan.

If they prevent the "731" films from being shown in Japan and refuse to return the sample copies of the "731" films, then they can't blame the related pirated DVDs and pirated films for their rampage in Japan!
As September 18th approaches, Peace Media is releasing more and more videos of veterans and researchers from Unit 731, along with the promotion of the "731" movie and reports on the exploration of the former site of the Harbin bacterial experiments. The world is getting a bit visually fatigued by this intense offensive!
On September 17th, the Peace Group's propaganda offensive against Japan suddenly stopped, and the whole world seemed to fall silent all of a sudden!

While many people are puzzled by the Peace Group's actions, one thing is undeniable.

After the voices of accusation, condemnation, and criticism of the Japanese devils disappeared, many people around the world thought of one thing: tomorrow, September 18th, the movie "731" will be released!
On September 18, 1994, Japan was the first island to enter midnight.

Then, Japanese netizens still surfing the internet discovered that all the major and minor websites on the Japanese website had been hacked. Not only were the homepages of these websites flooded with promotional posters for the "731" movie, but clicking on them would force users to perform P2P downloads. Because so many Japanese computers were downloading at the same time, and because numerous Japanese website servers were contributing resources, these netizens didn't have to wait long and quickly found the uncut version of the "731" movie!
From then on, the title of the most terrifying movie on the island fell to the "731" movie!
Following them, at midnight on September 18th, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Macau were affected.

Because it was a midnight premiere, it really frightened many moviegoers.

Furthermore, because the uncut version of the "731" film leaked from the Japanese internet, some netizens in Europe, America, and other places have already seen the "731" film, even though it is not yet September 18th.

Following the release of the film "731", the Peace Group launched another propaganda offensive.

Movie reviews, tearful viewers, protests against Japanese atrocities in various places, and so on, are popping up one after another in all sorts of ways!

Subsequently, the museum displaying evidence of the crimes committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, officially released news about the "Night Cherry Blossom Project" virtual dream system.

Meanwhile, the museum's official website has launched an online reservation system for experiencing the virtual dream world.

I don't know what the people in Nanjing were thinking, but the day after the Night Cherry Blossom Project Virtual Dream was announced, they came to ride the wave and released their Nanjing Fallen Virtual Dream, as well as the rules for making reservations and experiencing it.

Because of this disruption in Nanjing, a group of passionate people who were originally heading to Harbin were diverted to Nanjing!
Even Zhang Heping frowned upon hearing this news, wondering what Nanjing and the capital meant...

August 9, morning.

Despite being advised against it, Lao Zhang, Company Commander Zhao, and others insisted on going to Harbin at this time to join in the fun and experience the virtual dream of the Night Cherry Blossom Project.

Their impulsive actions stemmed mainly from the pent-up anger they felt after watching the uncut version of the "731" movie.

Adding to Zhang Bei's mention of his father Zhang Heping's previous suggestion that they could escape from prison in the virtual dream world of Project Night Cherry Blossom, or lead other prisoners in rebellion, Old Zhang and his comrades took it to heart.

Then this happened: dragging his suitcase, he headed straight to the airport, determined to wipe out the Noyaka Project's virtual dream unit, Unit 731!

After Lao Zhang and his team left, the Virtual Dream Classroom didn't stop working. Many experts from the mainland were still there experiencing it, trying to correct the errors, but they hadn't found any mistakes yet.

The Americans really wanted to experience the virtual dream classroom and the first floor of the library, but Zhang Heping refused to see them.

Despite various attempts, the US embassy in Hong Kong was unable to secure a meeting with Zhang Heping.

Even when Xiao Ke called Zhang Heping, it didn't work.

As the Peace Group revealed more and more bacterial research data, the Americans had no choice but to compromise and send over the original bacterial research data they had obtained from the Japanese!
These original documents include not only paper files, but also photos, videos, bacterial samples, and more, making them quite comprehensive.

Seeing that the Americans were showing remorse, Zhang Heping agreed to meet with them, but with one condition.

September 30th marked 12 days since the release of the "731" film.

The film's box office performance was not good. Because of the low ticket prices and the fact that a large portion of the revenue was given to the theaters, the production costs were definitely not recovered.

Moreover, in order to conquer the Japanese film market, the hackers of Peace Wisdom Technology Company even put the uncut version of the "731" movie on the Japanese website server for free download.

But none of this matters!
Importantly, the US Embassy in Hong Kong's Chief of Staff, Alex, conveyed the sincerity of their Chief Executive through a video message!
Director Alex was led by bodyguards to the corridor on the top floor of the Peace Health Medical Research Institute. After seeing Zhang Heping conducting an experiment inside through the glass partition, he greeted him with mixed feelings.

"Where's Xiao Ke's video message?" Zhang Heping asked without looking up. "He's not planning to wait until midnight to tell it to ghosts, is he?"

"Mr. Zhang, our chief steward's video message has been recorded!" Curator Alex looked at the white brains of varying sizes on the experimental table and felt a strange chill. "This is the video sent to my phone. I brought it over for your confirmation."

Zhang Heping casually said, "Let it out and see!"

To give Zhang Heping a better view, Curator Alex pressed the phone screen against the glass partition after clicking the play button on his phone.

"I swear by the Constitution of the United States that Unit 731, the biological warfare unit in Japan, truly existed!"

"In order to restore the truth, I will provide my friend Zhang Heping with the bacterial research data of Unit 731 on the Japanese island, hoping that fragile humanity will never again suffer such cruel torture!"

Just as Xiao Ke was about to finish speaking in Eagle Language, Zhang Heping looked up at the phone and confirmed that it was indeed Xiao Ke speaking.

"Send the video to my email!" Zhang Heping said calmly. "When do you plan to release this video speech?"

Curator Alex glanced at his watch and said, "20 PM in Huacheng, the United States, is prime time on television! There's still half an hour until then."

“Alright!” Zhang Heping took a step to the side, arriving at another brain regeneration culture tank. He didn't dwell on which TV station had released the video. “Speak! What do you want to see me for?”

Curator Alex really wanted to retort, "Don't you know why I'm looking for you?"

But he didn't dare; this was a hard-won opportunity to meet!

The American man truly had a love-hate relationship with this Mr. Zhang in front of him!

Because of him, the United States' defense spending has increased dramatically in recent years.

If you want to know why, just look up at the sky and count how many satellites each country has, and you'll know how annoyed the Americans are!

The Americans never expected that the Star Wars program originally designed for North Sutt would be beaten to the punch by a commercial company!

Crucially, they also joined forces with the mainland to promote the construction of a space-based early warning system, completely thwarting the anti-ballistic missile defense system plan proposed by the United States!
To be honest, when the United States first proposed this plan, it was just to fool the Soviet Union!
To my utter surprise, a mainland Chinese company took it seriously!

They materialized those technologies!
But they actually agreed to let American aerospace experts go to the aerospace base in the northwest of the mainland to learn from others. Isn't this a blatant attempt to push people to be more ambitious?
For these reasons, the United States' spending on aerospace in recent years has far exceeded its total spending in the 80s!
However, faced with such a young Chinese man who was stirring up international controversy, Curator Alex dared not openly offend him.

To put it simply, just consider the fact that Steward Xiao Ke and his three friends used the Lifespan 120 potion. Once you offend Zhang Heping, you'll basically be out of luck with this potion!
"Mr. Zhang, I've come to inquire about the possibility of restoring the library access privileges for American students at Peace Academy, and also..." (End of Chapter)
