A live stream of someone hand-making a giant white robot attracted the attention of the government,

Bai Che looked at the bowl of steaming chicken soup, then glanced at the back of the person who was pretending to organize documents, but whose ears were actually bright red.

He slowly picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

The broth was delicious, and the cooking time was just right.

"Hmm~" he deliberately drawled, "Senior, did you put too much salt in this soup?"

Su Wanqing's body stiffened, and she turned around abruptly, her phoenix eyes blazing with that familiar fire again: "Impossible! I placed it according to the standard! No...."

"Oh?" Bai Che took another sip, smacked his lips, and said, "Maybe I mistasted. I thought it was because you, the temporary CEO, were embarrassed by having your secret exposed, and a few drops of your tears accidentally dripped in."

"Bai! Che!"

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth, strode over, and tried to snatch the insulated lunchbox.

Bai Che nimbly sidestepped, protecting the lunchbox in his arms, a triumphant smile on his face: "No, President Su, showing consideration for subordinates is part of the company culture, I appreciate it."

He finished the bowl of soup in a few gulps, licked his lips as if he wanted more, and then handed the empty lunchbox back with utmost sincerity.

"Thank you for the treat, Mr. Su. I'd like to have pork rib soup tomorrow."

Su Wanqing snatched the lunchbox, stomped her foot heavily, turned and left, leaving behind only a sentence squeezed out between her teeth.

"Dream on!"

Watching her flee in panic, Bai Che felt much better. He felt that this "forced business" process wasn't so unbearable after all.

In particular, it also comes with an all-around capable but blushing housekeeper.

Chicken soup became a regular supply in the laboratory.

Under the decisive leadership of interim CEO Su Wanqing, Zero Boundary Technology was officially registered and established with remarkable speed.

Company full name: Zero Boundary Technology (Hefei) Co., Ltd.

Registered capital: 10 million yuan.

Legal representative: Bai Che.

CEO: Su Wanqing.

Chief Publicity Officer and Security Captain: Wang Tao.

When Su Wanqing slapped the business license stamped with a bright red seal in front of Bai Che, Bai Che was sketching a complex structural diagram on a piece of draft paper.

"The first step is complete," Su Wanqing said, arms crossed, her posture regaining the capable air of a student council president. "Next, according to your plan, we should release the product. Have you completed your technical verification and security testing?"

"That's about it." Bai Che put down his pen and rubbed his slightly sore wrist.

After more than half a month of intensive work, he not only thoroughly mastered the complete flexible battery technology awarded by the system, but also simplified and improved its production process several times to make it more suitable for the existing industrial base.

"Alright, I'll arrange the media channels. Let's do a technical pre-launch campaign first, and then release it gradually..."

"Too slow," Bai Che interrupted her.

He picked up his phone, unlocked it, and skillfully opened Bilibili, clicking into his account, which was verified as a "famous comedy UP master" with over five million followers.

He quickly edited a new post.

[Lingjie Technology Grand Opening. First Product: New Energy Vehicle. 2000km Range, 10-Minute Charging. Next Wednesday, USTC Auditorium, see you there!]

Edited and sent.

The entire process was smooth and took no more than thirty seconds.

After doing all this, he threw his phone on the table, picked up his pen again, and shrugged at Su Wanqing.

"Done."

Su Wanqing leaned over to look at the contents of the phone screen, and her whole body froze.

She took a deep breath, pointed at the short line of text, her voice trembling: "Bai Che! What are you doing? You're declaring war on all the physicists in the world!"

Two thousand kilometers of range?

Ten minutes of charging?

Either of these two data points, taken individually, would be enough to drive all the car manufacturers and battery manufacturers in the world into a frenzy. And Bai Che, so casually, posted it out with a single update.

This isn't just radicalism, this is suicide!

Bai Che's prediction came true very quickly.

The post went viral on the internet in less than ten minutes.

Initially, it was a cause for celebration and skepticism in Bilibili's technology section.

Holy crap! Shirakami's got some amazing moves up his sleeve!

Two thousand kilometers? Did he add an extra zero? The best speed these days is only seven or eight hundred kilometers, right?

[Ten minutes of charging? Are their power cords made of vibranium? That's enough to drain the entire neighborhood's electricity!]

[Alright, alright, they've started to let loose after Whitebeard. Last time it was a medical miracle, this time it's a physics joke.]

When this post was screenshotted and forwarded to public platforms such as Weibo, the initial doubts quickly turned into ridicule and condemnation across the internet.

Lei Dong, chairman and CEO of Tianxing Motors, a leading domestic new energy vehicle company, has personally taken to the field without hesitation.

Lei Dong, an industry tycoon who rose to prominence through imitation and capital operations, hates nothing more than the phrase "technological disruption."

He directly forwarded Bai Che's screenshot and added an extremely sarcastic caption.

[Tianxing Auto - Lei Dong V: These days, young people think they're gods just because they stumbled upon a toy by luck? Two thousand kilometers of range, ten minutes of charging? This is the most laughable PowerPoint car scam I've heard this year! I'm telling you, if they can actually build it, I'll swallow that battery whole in front of the whole nation! @DragonNationalAcademyofScience, aren't you going to do something about these attention-seeking academic scum?]

Lei Dong's remarks were like a bucket of gasoline poured onto the raging fire of public opinion.

Countless car reviewers, influential figures, and even some second-rate scholars have joined the fray, launching a barrage of criticism against Bai Che and Zero Boundary Technology.

The label of "liar" was firmly attached to Bai Che almost overnight.

Just then, an account that no one expected forwarded Lei Dong's Weibo post.

[Bilibili Top 100 UP Master - Hardcore Disassembly King V: I choose to believe in Bai Shen, even though my university physics professor is already on his way to my house with a knife. Next Wednesday, at the USTC Auditorium, I will be live-streaming the entire event, witnessing a miracle together... or perhaps, a grand funeral for physics.]

The former "number one hater" has now become the only person in the eye of the storm who dares to take sides in this way.

This move further propelled the event to its peak of popularity.

……

On the day of the press conference.

Outside the centennial auditorium of the University of Science and Technology of China, crowds of people gathered.

Hundreds of media outlets from home and abroad were on high alert, with "commercial spies" and technical representatives from major automakers mixed in, each with an expression of anticipation.

Inside the auditorium, in the front row, at the very center, sat Lei Dong, CEO of Tianxing Motors, surrounded by a group of media reporters. He was beaming with pride, speaking eloquently to the cameras.

"Innovation isn't about boasting; technology requires rigor. I'm here today to expose this scam and seek justice for all the companies that genuinely focus on research and development!"

Su Wanqing stood backstage, looking at the packed audience below, her palms sweating with nervousness.

She looked at the culprit beside her, who was yawning and looked like he hadn't woken up yet.

"Aren't you even a little bit nervous?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Why be nervous?" Bai Che stretched and loosened his neck. "They're just a bunch of spectators."

After he finished speaking, under the astonished gazes of Su Wanqing and Wang Tao, he walked out alone from backstage.

There was no rousing music, no dazzling lights.

Bai Che, dressed in simple casual clothes, walked to the center of the stage.

The spotlight shone down, and everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to it.

They saw that the stage was empty; there were no new cars, no PowerPoint presentations, and not even a decent backdrop.

Only Bai Che, and the unremarkable gray metal block at his feet, about the size of an ordinary car battery.

"Buzz~"

A murmur of disappointment and mockery arose from the audience.

"That's it? Where's the car?"

"So after all that, it's just one battery? Not even a casing?"

Lei Dong burst out laughing. He shook his head at his assistant with a contemptuous look, as if he were looking at a clown.

Bai Che ignored the noise from the audience; he simply picked up the microphone and looked around the room.

His gaze lingered briefly on Redon's face for a second before he spoke calmly.

"I know many people don't believe it."

"Some people say I'm a fraud, that I'm using PowerPoint presentations to scam people."

He paused, and a clear and steady voice came through the microphone.

"So today, we won't talk about those complicated data and theories."

Bai Che gently snapped his fingers towards the backstage area.

"Let's prove it in the simplest and most direct way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy and piercing metallic scraping sound came from backstage.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, two staff members laboriously pushed a huge machine with a cold, metallic sheen slowly to the center of the stage.

It was a vertical hydraulic press, over two meters tall!

The massive fuselage, the robust pistons, and the terrifying sense of oppression that could crush steel into thin sheets plunged the entire auditorium into a deathly silence.

Everyone's smiles froze on their faces.

Lei Dong's smug laughter was also stuck in his throat.

No one can understand why such a ferocious industrial monster would be brought out to a technology product launch event.

Bai Che gently placed the battery module at his feet in the center of the hydraulic press base.

He raised his head and looked again at Lei Dong, who was standing below the stage looking bewildered.

"Mr. Lei, are you ready? Is dinner served?"
