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

The moment the words fell, the servers in the global live stream could no longer withstand the overwhelming torrent of data, and the screens turned a pure white, a symbol of extreme fervor.

The blinding white light engulfed everything, the monitor wall in the backstage turned into a snowflake, leaving only the crackling of electricity, frantically hissing in the dead silence.

That light marked the end of the press conference, but it also marked the beginning of a global storm.

"We ourselves... are the light..."

Su Wanqing leaned against the cold equipment rack, unconsciously repeating Bai Che's last words. Her body was still trembling slightly; the sea of ​​light illuminating the entire map of the Dragon Kingdom was deeply imprinted on her retina.

She finally understood.

Ninety-nine yuan is not a price; it is a declaration of war.

It is declaring to the world that, from this day forward, China's technology will no longer be that of a follower or imitator. They are going to establish new rules in the most unreasonable way possible.

This press conference was never intended to sell products.

It is a prairie fire that ignites a flame, a flame powerful enough to burn through all barriers and prejudices, called "confidence"!

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Wang Tao's suppressed roar finally burst from his throat. He clutched his head, jumped up from the ground, his face flushed with excitement, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Brother Che! Brother Che! Did you see that?! Weibo! Weibo is exploding!"

He shoved his phone screen in front of Su Wanqing, his hands trembling.

On the screen, it was no longer the "get lost" message; the torrent of bullet comments had turned into a pure red ocean.

Countless fluttering red flag emojis completely flooded the live stream room.

I have no regrets about being born Chinese in this life, and I hope to be a Chinese again in the next!

What does it mean to have technological confidence?! (Leans back tactically)

[I hereby declare that from this day forward, the White God is my sole faith! Don't mention Steve Jobs or Elon Musk to me; do they have the ability to light up a country with a single battery?!]

[Ninety-nine! Don't even mention ninety-nine! Even if you sell it for nine hundred and ninety! I'll sell everything I own to support you! Where's the official website?! Where's my Italian cannon?!]

[Hey, I just got back from Bilibili, and Bai Shen's fan count has already surpassed 20 million! The servers are practically smoking from lagging!]

Every word carries a burning warmth.

It was a collective outpouring of national pride, which had been suppressed for too long and finally found an outlet.

Just then, a technician in charge of overseas signals suddenly jumped up from his chair, ripped off his headphones, and looked utterly horrified, as if he had seen a ghost.

"President Su! Reuters! Bloomberg! All...all the foreign media are going crazy!"

His finger trembled as he pointed to the large screen, where the homepages of several foreign news websites had just been restored.

Reuters: This isn't an energy bar, it's Pandora's box! China has mastered revolutionary energy storage technology!

The Wall Street Journal: The Singularity of Energy! Zero Boundary Technology Killed the Entire Lithium-ion Battery Era in One Minute!

Bloomberg: Ninety-nine dollars? A technology that could trigger the Third Industrial Revolution, they're using it to make friends?!

The tone of the headline shifted dramatically from mockery and pessimism to extreme fear and greed. They finally realized that behind that small metal strip lay a terrifying strategic force, capable of reshaping the global energy landscape.

Everyone behind the scenes was caught up in a kind of unreal euphoria because of this dramatic reversal in public opinion.

Only Bai Che remained indifferent.

He slowly walked off the stage, and in the center of the chaos, he precisely located the control room and picked up a microphone that was still on.

He pointed at the microphone, as if simply to put an end to this farce, and casually said something.

"Pre-orders on the official website are now open."

After saying that, he put down the microphone, turned around and walked towards the lounge to find a bottle of water.

However, his words became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Oh no!!!"

A piercing scream erupted from a corner of the technical area.

A young engineer in charge of website maintenance scrambled out of the room, pointing at the avalanche of red alerts refreshing on his computer screen, his face ashen.

"President Su! The server...the server is overwhelmed! It's completely down!"

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed over.

"What's going on?! We're using Alibaba Cloud's highest-level server cluster! They promised it could withstand DDoS attacks of nuclear weapon strength!"

"It wasn't an attack!" The engineer's voice was almost crying. "It's...it's the traffic! The instantaneous traffic exceeded one hundred million! One hundred million! It overwhelmed Alibaba Cloud's inbound bandwidth in just one second!"

What?

Su Wanqing felt a buzzing in her head.

The official website they built at great expense, which underwent countless stress tests before going live and was touted as never crashing, didn't even last a minute after Bai Che uttered those words.

And so gloriously, it was squeezed out of existence and "sacrificed to heaven" by the enthusiasm of people all over the world.

"My...my email address..."

On the other side, Wang Tao held up his phone, completely petrified.

On his phone screen, the notification pop-ups for new emails were so dense that they formed a white mosaic that made the text illegible. The phone was so hot from processing the massive amount of information that it was almost hot enough to fry an egg.

"Cooperation...it's all cooperation emails..." he muttered to himself. "Distributors, agents, brand owners...German, Japanese, American...My God, even a prince from the Middle East emailed me, asking if I could book a production line..."

A global buying frenzy sparked by tiny energy bars has officially begun in this most savage and brutal way.

The backstage area was in complete chaos.

Su Wanqing urgently contacted the CEO of Alibaba Cloud in an attempt to fix the problem.

Wang Tao hugged his phone, which was completely frozen, and happily spun around in place.

The technicians were typing in vain, trying to restart the already overloaded server.

Bai Che, the instigator of all this, simply stood quietly on the edge of chaos.

He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, tilted his head back, and took a sip. The cool liquid slid down his throat, making his parched voice, which had been dry from talking too much, feel much better.

trouble.

He looked at the commotion he had caused, but this was what he was thinking.

However, the more trouble like this, the better.

Because a system panel that only he could see was being refreshed rapidly in his field of vision.

[Ding! A phenomenal social event has been detected: "Global Frenzy," and its influence points are skyrocketing!]

[Current Influence Points: 245,871,990...]

[Current Influence Points: 310,542,874...]

[Current Influence Points: 402,119,333...]

The numbers were jumping so fast that they were already leaving afterimages.

Bai Che stared at the number expressionlessly, calculating in his mind.

At this rate, it probably won't be long before we have enough clues to exchange for the next piece of cutting-edge technology.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, a soft hand, tinged with anxiety, suddenly grabbed his arm.

Su Wanqing's usually aloof and pretty face was now filled with a complex expression of excitement and frustration, her beautiful phoenix eyes fixed on him.

"Bai Che! The official website is completely down! What do we do now?!"

She was going crazy. On one hand, she was overjoyed at making history, and on the other hand, she was facing the disaster of not being able to receive orders. Her CPU was about to burn out.

Upon hearing this, Bai Che finally took his eyes off the system panel and slowly turned his head.

He ignored the out-of-control data and the group of employees who were going crazy. He just glanced at Su Wanqing, his eyes seeming to say, "What's so surprising about this?"

Then, he slowly put away his phone and said something that left Su Wanqing speechless.

"Oh, it's crashed."

"Isn't that exactly what you should be busy with, Mr. Su?"
