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

The Bald Eagles spared no effort in shaping Master into a star entrepreneur in the technology industry, and they even arranged for him to give national speaking engagements.

Master was convinced he had defeated Yang Chen, so he was in a great mood. As soon as his nationally televised speech began, he was grinning from ear to ear and couldn't even speak.

It took him a full minute to laugh before he could barely speak.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy today that I couldn't control my emotions. It's an honor to participate in the national speech program again..."

Master began his speech by thanking his boss first, and then thanking the R&D engineers at SX, who had worked so hard to create this advantageous business for him.

To reward these engineers, Master decided to personally contribute 1 million Eagle Dollars as a semi-annual bonus, and Master would also bear the tax burden on this portion of the bonus.

After this series of actions, Master's fans were happy again.

For example, on YouTube, viewers from all over the world flocked to the comment section of Master's national speech video to pay homage.

A South Korean netizen commented: "Although Master's car business competes with our Hyundai and Kia, I still have to say he truly represents humanity's hope. This kind of entrepreneur deserves to make money; I'm not envious at all."

A netizen from Japan commented: "This is a role model for entrepreneurs. They are really willing to spend money to reward their employees. Unlike my boss, who not only doesn't give bonuses, but also tries to deduct my salary and often threatens me with layoffs."

A netizen commented: "Master, I'm not kidding. Cancel this reward immediately, because I'm not included." However, it's still good that Master won his third match against Yang Chen. He proved to us that Yang Chen isn't omnipotent; there are some areas where Yang Chen is simply lacking.

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "When Master forced Twitter employees to live and eat at the company and carried out massive layoffs, you weren't praising him like this. There's a saying in the Dragon Kingdom that's very true: 'He who laughs last laughs best.' I firmly believe Yang Chen will win."

Italian netizens: Have the netizens of the Sand Kingdom lost their minds? Yang Chen himself admitted that he doesn't have any products to compete with Master in this area, and you're still sucking up to him? Mu Longquan, are you rooted to the ground and never going to get up?
Chinese netizens: Fuck, Italian netizens, you're saying our lines! I have to say, the phrase "Mulongquan" is amazing, I give you a thumbs up. Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year? Let you guys have some dumplings!

Master's speech video quickly spread on China's social media platforms. The Western-worshipping lackeys, who had been suppressed by China's technological development for the past few years and dared not speak up, finally had a chance to vent their frustrations.

The US has allocated 16 billion US dollars for a propaganda war, and it's time to put that to good use.

“The light of humanity, let our so-called internet technology giants learn from them. Stop going into lending, food delivery, and community group buying all the time. Learn from the real tech company CEOs how to run a business.”

"When domestic business owners make money, their next step is to get involved in internet finance. When foreign business owners make money, they think about how to save humanity."

"How did this video get leaked? Don't some bosses say that high wages discourage hard work? Why aren't those foreigners afraid of that?"

"Damn, there are quite a few people in the comments section earning Eagle Coins. They're shameless enough to do anything for that little bit of money. The reason you live such a convenient life today is because of those loan shark entrepreneurs you're talking about. Doesn't Boss Yang's company pay well? Do you even have the ability to get in? Don't the R&D staff at companies like Longwei get paid well? Do you even have the ability to get in? You skipped classes to play games online when you were in school, and now that you can't earn money at work, you blame this and that. You have no ability but you always think that you can become rich by changing your environment. Don't you ever take a good look in the mirror? If the country didn't bail you out, what right do you have to earn Eagle Coins here?"

The Bald Eagles' money was definitely well spent; they achieved the results they wanted.

At this moment, Master was paying attention to the direction of public opinion on the Chinese internet. Seeing that the number of comments praising him and fawning over him had increased significantly, he happily popped open champagne to celebrate.

For billionaires like Master, money is no longer a major desire or need; what they pursue is fame and power.

He was no longer in a position of power, as he couldn't change the dire political landscape of the United States on his own, so he resigned early on. Now, the only thing that makes him happy is his good reputation.

Master was enjoying his champagne when the head of the Bald Eagle called him.

"Haha... Elon, you've really made a splash in front of the whole world this time. Congratulations, congratulations."

Master laughed and said, "Thank you, thank you. I have to thank the $16 billion propaganda war grant for that; otherwise, they wouldn't be praising me like that."

"Haha... You need to have something they can praise about you. Launch the rocket smoothly, there can't be any problems, the whole world is watching. Be careful and vigilant against the small robots, don't let them sabotage you in secret."

Master replied, "Thank you for reminding me. We've already considered that and taken all necessary precautions. If any robots get close, we'll detect them immediately and destroy them. This time, even God couldn't sabotage our launch."

Master's words made the leader of the Bald Eagle very happy. He smiled and said, "Elon, I'm relieved to hear you say that. We won this time in a glorious way. We will always be good partners."

Master replied with a smile, "Of course, we'll always be great partners!"

……

In the past, no one would care if a bunch of colonialists praised foreign countries on the internet. But things are different now. China has become powerful and has platforms like TikTok to express its opinions. We must win this war of public opinion.

Upon seeing online trolls stirring up trouble, relevant departments immediately decided to conduct a test flight of the sixth-generation fighter jet ahead of schedule.

Upon receiving the test flight order, Yang Chen immediately instructed Xingchen Satellite Communications Company to conduct an experiment on the large rocket equipped with a pulse detonation engine that evening, August 1st, after the sixth-generation fighter jet completed its test flight. Upon receiving the order, Xingchen Satellite Communications Company immediately issued a notification to countries worldwide.

"We hereby inform all countries that our company will be testing a new pulse detonation engine-equipped launch vehicle at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 8:20 PM Beijing time on August 1st. As this is the first attempt to install a pulse detonation engine on a rocket, there is a high possibility of accidents. Please take necessary precautions. If any harm is caused to any country, our company will fully assume responsibility and will not evade liability. Thank you for your cooperation."

This global announcement instantly went viral across the world.

The news first went viral on the Chinese internet, with netizens flooding the Weibo comment section of Star Satellite Communications Company with messages and comments.

"Haha... I knew Boss Yang couldn't possibly lose. Even if he had to come up with something on short notice, he would still create a product to defeat Master's rocket."

"What's going on? Didn't they say they didn't have any products like this? How come they suddenly came up with a rocket with a pulse detonation engine? Are they going to start with something so high-end right away?"

"They've already developed a pulse detonation engine? Shouldn't that be used in fighter jets? How can you use it to build rockets?"

"Boss Yang is too cunning. He always uses this kind of counter-attack tactic. He makes his opponent happy for a while, and then strikes to kill him. This trick never fails. He wins happily every time, and he can also make his opponent lose miserably."

"How are those big colonies supposed to survive? They were just praising Master as the light of humanity, and now Boss Yang is about to launch a rocket with a pulse detonation engine. If Boss Yang's experiment is successful, we can directly transport weapons to space for launch, giving the enemy no time to react, diving straight down into the target territory, and completing the attack mission in minutes. Amazing!"

Media outlets such as Eagle Union, Rosanke Times, and New York Times quickly relayed the news to people around the world. Foreign netizens who were initially praising Master as a beacon of humanity were instantly thrown into turmoil upon seeing the announcement from Star Satellite Communications.

A netizen from the White Eagle forum commented: "Wang Defa? How come Yang Chen suddenly has another rocket? And it's a rocket with a pulse detonation engine? Is this normal? How did he come up with this kind of engine?"

Japanese netizens commented: "It's over! They've broken through with another new technology. With pulse detonation engines on fighter jets, no existing aircraft can catch up, not even missiles. How are we supposed to compete? From now on, Chinese aircraft won't need radar stealth; they can just fly right over their targets, and the targets will be helpless. No missiles can catch them. From now on, we can only keep our tails between our legs and never look them in the eye, lest they find an excuse to attack us."

South Korean netizens: Are you kidding me? How come he always manages to pull out even more high-tech products at crucial moments? God, why are you so good to him? This is so unfair.

A German netizen commented: "Really? I find it hard to believe. Engines have always been a weakness for China; how could they possibly be the first to develop a pulse detonation engine? Did Russia provide them with support?"

A netizen commented: "We'd like to support them, but we don't have any ourselves. Even if we did, we wouldn't easily sell them. Whoever has this level of engine will gain a leading position in the aviation and aerospace fields, and consequently, a significant lead in the military field."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: Haha...Are you convinced yet? I'm asking you, are you convinced yet? I said long ago that only those who laugh last laugh last. Now you believe me, right? Boss Yang has never lost, he never lost before, he won't lose now, and he certainly won't lose in the future. No one on this planet can beat him, not even once. Now we can make a bet: will Master's 1 million Eagle Coin bonus still be paid out?
Master, who had just drifted off to sleep, was jolted awake by a phone call from the head of the Bald Eagle government.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? Is something the matter?" Master asked.

The leader of the bald eagles immediately exclaimed, "Fuck! You're still sleeping? Something terrible has happened!"

Master immediately sat up and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

The leader of the Bald Eagle replied, "Just now, Yang Chen's satellite communications company issued a global announcement that they will launch a rocket at 8 PM on August 1st, and it's a rocket equipped with a pulse detonation engine. My God, a pulse detonation engine! We haven't even figured that out yet, and he's already done it. If their test is successful, forget about recovery; they can deploy weapons in space!"

Master exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! How could they suddenly develop such an engine? You know, engines have always been their weakness. For so many years, the main problem hindering their aircraft and automobile development has been the engine. This must be a fake news release to save face. Yes, absolutely. Is he a god descended from heaven? How could he develop such epoch-making technological products time and time again?"

The leader of the Bald Eagle immediately retorted irritably, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I also want to know if he's some kind of god descended from heaven, because he always manages to pull out a product that can turn the tide against us at the most crucial moment."

Master immediately retorted, "That's why I said they're spreading false information, because it makes absolutely no sense. I'm launching the reusable rocket as planned tomorrow, and I want to see what they'll use to fool the world on August 1st. Trying to intimidate me into retreating at this point? No way!"

After a few seconds of silence, the leader of the Bald Eagles said, "Elon, listen, we've spent a lot of money, effort, and resources on promoting you this time. You can't lose. If you lose, we'll all lose face, and all the money we've invested in you will be wasted. I won't be able to explain that to Congress and all the people of Bald Eagles. Do you understand what I mean?"

Master immediately said, "If I lose, I will personally donate 3 million Eagle Dollars to you. I will absolutely not let you waste your money on me. Is that alright?"

The head of the Bald Eagle government is a pure businessman. He governs the country according to the business model, believing that everything can be solved with money and profit.

Since Master himself made the promise, there's nothing more to say.

The leader of the Bald Eagle immediately said, "Elon, I'm very pleased that you say that. You know, we'll always be good friends and good partners."

Master chuckled, sounding somewhat awkward and forced, before adding, "I understand your predicament. I won't make things difficult for you. Sleep well, and I'll make sure the good news spreads throughout the world tomorrow."

The leader of the bald eagle immediately laughed and said, "Okay! Sweet dreams to you, and sweet dreams to me too."

After hanging up the phone, Master immediately got up and turned on his computer to search for Star Satellite Communications' global announcements. When he saw the words "pulse detonation engine," his expression became noticeably more serious.

"Does he really have such a thing, or is he just trying to scare me?" Master muttered to himself, his previous confidence gone, replaced by a mind full of doubt and worry. (End of Chapter)
