I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Just as netizens were urging Yang Chen to temporarily create a large robot, Yang Chen was working with the security department to use the Sihai Smart Canteen employee who took the photos as bait to capture undercover agents, spies, and special agents hiding in the shadows.

With Yang Chen's mind-reading ability, they quickly figured out everyone's identity and address. Then, the security department quietly gathered manpower to accurately arrest those people.

In just one night, the security services arrested 135 spies.

At 9:00 AM, the security department issued a statement, which roughly explained the process and results of last night's operation and clarified that the arrest was completed with the assistance of Yang Chen and Xingchen Military Industry Group.

When news of the CIA's complete dismantling reached the U.S. military, Statham, the head of the organization, immediately called his superiors.

"We just received news that all the agents we painstakingly infiltrated and the informants we developed have been wiped out by Yang Chen in conjunction with relevant departments."

"Damn it, not a single one was left?"

"Yes! Not a single one was left! Yang Chen's micro-robots must have intercepted the intelligence again, otherwise they couldn't have been so accurate and comprehensive, leaving us with absolutely no one."

"Sigh... What a pity... But it's not a big problem, we can exchange them back. It's just a pity that some of your people who had just infiltrated were wiped out in such a short time. Fortunately, they did play a role before they were wiped out, so they were put to good use."

"Then I'll contact them to exchange hostages?"

"Okay, let's get in touch."

On the other side, Yang Chen had just finished accompanying Chen Xi to her prenatal checkup when he received a call from Jiang Wenming, the military official in charge.

"Chairman Yang, we've decided to exhibit Cheng Ying at the Changchun Military Affairs Exhibition. Is that alright with you?" Jiang Wenming asked.

Yang Chen replied, "Which day?"

“August 18th,” Jiang Wenming replied.

Yang Chen immediately replied with a smile, "That would be perfect. We'll go straight for the top-of-the-line model; there'll be plenty of time."

Jiang Wenming laughed heartily and said, "Alright! I'll report this to the higher-ups. I hope the Changchun Exhibition can help the world understand the current international situation."

“We have to make them realize that!” Yang Chen replied.

"Haha..." The two burst into laughter.

Yang Chen originally planned to announce Cheng Ying in a few days, but now he can only postpone it for a month until the Changchun exhibition. Let Master be arrogant for a while longer.

With Yang Chen remaining silent, netizens in China were extremely disappointed. They left daily comments on Yang Chen's Weibo, asking if he had created a similar robot.

Yang Chen didn't have time to pay attention to them, because he was currently working with his team and the military team to study sixth-generation fighter jets.

Xingchen Military Industry provides pulse detonation engines, as well as aircraft layout design, mold manufacturing and other products, while the military is responsible for providing materials and other products.

Currently, the two sides have jointly developed four aircraft: two fighter jets, one carrier-based aircraft, and one bomber. The preparation work for the aircraft themselves has been completed, and prototypes can be assembled and tested at any time.

However, there were some disagreements regarding functionality. The military decided to arm the aircraft with conventional missiles, but Yang Chen wanted to equip it with more futuristic weapons such as electromagnetic railguns.

The military's intention is to remain cautious and continue using beyond-visual-range strikes with the help of a powerful information warfare system to shoot down the enemy as soon as it takes off.

However, Yang Chen disagreed with this design approach because this combat approach did not require sixth-generation fighters, or even fifth-generation fighters. With the support of a powerful integrated combat system and powerful air-launched missiles, even third-generation fighters could achieve beyond-visual-range strikes, so why produce sixth-generation fighters?

Since it's a sixth-generation fighter jet, it should be equipped with some groundbreaking weapons, such as laser cannons, plasma shields, and electromagnetic cannons. Of course, it can also be equipped with several missile-carrying devices, but it absolutely cannot use missiles as its main weapon. Instead, it should use laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, and the like as its main weapons. It shouldn't engage in beyond-visual-range combat, but rather close-quarters dogfights. It should use the sixth-generation fighter jet's superior stealth, maneuverability, and speed exceeding that of missiles to overwhelm enemy fighter jets and missiles, making the enemy see the aircraft flying overhead with their own eyes, and they have no way to intercept it. This is the significance of a sixth-generation fighter jet.

To put it bluntly, Yang Chen wanted an extremely aggressive style, an effect where the enemy disliked him but couldn't do anything about it.

The military still prefers to remain low-key; beyond-visual-range strikes are certainly a more peaceful approach than directly flying planes over enemy territory.

The two sides were deadlocked and neither could convince the other.

Finally, Yang Chen said very seriously, "Everyone, imagine if I were to throw a rock at you from a distance, what would your first reaction be? You would definitely want to fight back, or even chase after me to retaliate. But if I were to beat you so badly that you couldn't even touch my clothes, what would your first thought be? You would definitely want to run away as fast as you can, or surrender and admit defeat. Since we've already started fighting, of course we should defeat the enemy and make them afraid, otherwise it wouldn't have been a waste of time. Isn't that right?"

After considering it for a moment, Jiang Wenming said, "This change involves too many aspects; we really can't make the decision on our own. We've all been discussing it for a while now, let's take a break. I'll make a phone call to report, and we'll continue the discussion once we get a response. Okay?"

Yang Chen nodded, got up and left. Everyone else quickly got up and went about their business, leaving Jiang Wenming alone in the room to call his superior to report.

Don't think that Chiang Wenming is making a mountain out of a molehill or exaggerating. The choice of whether to equip sixth-generation fighters conservatively or offensively will have a huge impact on future foreign policy, whether to continue with a conservative approach or to adopt an offensive one.

Jiang Wenming's phone call lasted two hours, which shows that the relevant people were taking this issue very seriously.

Jiang Wenming called everyone back and said with a serious expression, "We have an answer. We accept equipping sixth-generation fighters with laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, plasma shields, and other equipment, but they must also retain 6-8 missile hardpoints. Whether to adopt offensive or conservative tactics, we need to choose based on the actual situation, so these aircraft must be equipped with weapons that can be used in both scenarios."

Perhaps because of their different positions, the issues they consider are different, leading to different results and choices.

Since the leader had made this choice, Yang Chen stopped worrying about it and decided to proceed with the design in this way.

While Yang Chen focused all his attention on the sixth-generation fighter jet, Master was in the limelight. His Optimus Prime was truly unmatched, enjoying unparalleled popularity and selling over 5 units in just one month.

However, neither the Bald Eagle leadership nor Master himself were satisfied with the status quo; they wanted to be in the limelight even more.

So, the Bald Eagle leadership specially arranged a prime-time national televised address for Master, allowing him to showcase Optimus Prime's popularity to audiences across the country and even the world. Master himself had participated in many television programs, but this was his first time giving a prime-time national televised address like this.

Master took this televised speech very seriously, preparing his speech in advance. He also spent money on advertising, inviting audiences around the world to watch his televised speech, which was simultaneously streamed on platforms such as TikTok.

Although Master's speech was a full 10 pages long, it can be summarized into two points.

First, he is more impressive than Yang Chen; he is the CEO of the world's strongest technology company.

Secondly, Optimus Prime is just the beginning; more technological products that only he possesses and no one else has will be launched in the future.

The 200 million Eagle Coins spent by Master and Bald Eagle on promotion were indeed well spent. After the speech, netizens from various countries praised Master, while also taking a jab at Yang Chen.

A South Korean netizen commented: "Master is humanity's hope. If you don't acknowledge that, then you're not being objective. As for Yang Chen, he's just a flash in the pan; he can never compare to Master."

Japanese netizens commented: "This time, it's obvious to everyone that Master won. More than a month has passed, and Yang Chen hasn't responded at all. This is clearly not in line with his style. There's only one explanation: he really doesn't have a product to compete with Master, so he can only remain silent."

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "After losing so many times, I've finally won against him. I hope what Master said is true, and that he can continue to launch more high-tech products that only he has, and no one else has."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "These are all illusions. We contacted Mr. Yang, and although he didn't explicitly mention any products, he warned us not to buy Master's Optimus Prime, otherwise our money would be wasted. Therefore, we speculate that Mr. Yang must have better products, but he just can't show them to everyone yet."

An Italian netizen commented: "The netizens from the Sand Kingdom seem to have been bewitched by Yang Chen; they believe everything he says. If he truly possessed such a product, given his modus operandi, he would never have remained silent for so long. Face reality; he simply doesn't have a product to his name. The photos leaked by spies clearly show that their product is utterly worthless; don't harbor any illusions about him."

Comments from netizens around the world were quickly reposted on Chinese social media. Netizens were furious after reading the foreigners' comments and petitioned in Yang Chen's Weibo comment section.

"Boss Yang, what are you doing? You haven't responded for so long, have you really given up?"

"I really can't stand Master's smug attitude. Why don't you just hit him? All the foreigners are laughing at you now, aren't you worried at all?"

"Mr. Yang, why don't you respond? You've been silent for over a month, as if you've vanished into thin air. This isn't like you at all. I've been arguing with foreigners online to defend your reputation. Don't you care about your own honor at all?"

Yang Chen didn't respond before because he was busy with important matters. Now that he's finished with those matters and the Changchun Exhibition is about to begin, it's time to retaliate against Master and the Bald Eagle.

Yang Chen posted a Weibo post.

"For the past month or so, I've been busy with more important things and haven't had time to evaluate a low-end product. Our mech, codenamed 'Cheng Ying,' will be exhibited at the Evergreen Exhibition in three days. We'll be showcasing manned and unmanned versions, as well as military and civilian versions. Those interested can come and see it. For the next few months, I still won't have time to speak out or make public appearances. First, I need to take care of my girlfriend and her unborn child. Second, we have a very important project with the military. My plan is to announce the product on the day the baby is born. So, please don't leave comments on my social media accounts. Just go about your business, and I'll naturally step in to resolve the issues when the time is right. Remember one thing: I'm the strongest on Earth, that's enough!"

Netizens left numerous comments.

"So Mr. Yang was busy with a very important project. No wonder we haven't heard from him for over a month."

"Mr. Yang is collaborating with the military on a project? What kind of project is it? Is it to build a mecha unit?"

"I said long ago that Mr. Yang could not possibly lose, so there's no need to worry too much. It's just that a lot of people are stirring up trouble, praising Master and belittling Mr. Yang."

"I'm going to buy a ticket to the Evergreen Exhibition. I want to see what kind of robot Mr. Yang is going to exhibit."

Yang Chen's Weibo post caused the Changchun Exhibition tickets to be reprinted three times, but it still couldn't meet the demand.

However, the exhibition space is only so big and cannot accommodate more visitors.

Left with no other option, the organizers had to adopt a time-limited entry strategy for tourists. Each tourist could enter for one hour with a ticket, and they had to leave within 10 minutes after the one hour was up before the next group of tourists could enter. Under this model, the number of tourists could be increased tenfold, which would meet everyone's needs.

The Evergreen Exhibition officially opened to the public at 8:8 a.m. on August 18.

The entrance was already packed with people, and the first group of tourists happily entered the park. As soon as they entered, they saw a row of tall mechs.

"Wow, is this the robot Boss Yang was talking about? It's so big!"

"My god, this must be two stories tall! This is the mecha I've always imagined. I can't even imagine how awesome it would be to sit inside and control it!"

"Boss Yang is indeed the strongest on earth. Master's toy robot is nothing but child's play in front of Cheng Ying."

"This description says that the Chengying robot is used to deal with alien civilizations. Holy crap, Mr. Yang's space program has already yielded results so quickly."

"That makes sense. Carbon-based life forms don't need such powerful equipment to deal with them. This is designed to deal with silicon-based life forms."

"Look how luxurious this weaponry is! Electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, plasma shields... Holy crap, even if aliens really come, Cheng Ying could rush in and wipe them all out."

The first batch of viewers praised Cheng Ying's power while taking photos and videos and posting them on WeChat Moments, Douyin, and other accounts.

Those netizens who couldn't visit in person also excitedly commented and praised Cheng Ying after seeing her photos.

"This is too sci-fi! Boss Yang's actions are truly extraordinary. Something from a Hollywood movie has actually appeared in reality. Amazing!"

"Hollywood directors and screenwriters couldn't film something like this. Laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, plasma shields, particle cannons, wow. The question now isn't whether aliens exist, but how long they can hold out without surrendering."

"Damn it, returning to the top of the world is no longer enough for me, we must reach the top of the universe!"

"Boss Yang, the consequences of your product are serious! You've made me want to do something drastic. I can't farm in peace anymore. What do you suggest we do?" (End of Chapter)
