The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Is the US making a triumphant return?

Has China's dream of superconductivity been shattered?

When the headline from the foreign website reached China, netizens were furious!

"Ugh, I'm so angry! How can these people be so shameless!"

"Plagiarism! Blatant plagiarism!"

"This is what they call the 'beacon of humanity'? They copy homework with such self-righteousness, and then expect us to beg them? Beg your mother!"

"Before: Ji Bai was a treasure of all mankind! Now: Ji Bai is just a lucky guy!"

"I'm furious! When is Ji Shen going to show his true colors and slap me in the face? I'm about to unleash my fury!"

"It's like Ji Shen cooked a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, and then MIT threw in a sprig of cilantro and said, 'Look, my soup tastes better than yours!'"

"The worst part is that after they threw away the cilantro, they said you'd have to beg them to buy this soup!"

"I don't care anymore! @Ji Bai, Ji Shen! Come out and do something! My house has been burgled!"

"@Ancestor Ji Bai! If you don't come out of seclusion soon, your disciples and grand-disciples will be driven to despair!"

"@Emperor Ji Bai! Please ascend the throne! Please start broadcasting! Let those foreign devils know what a dimensional reduction attack really means!"

"Waiting for a live stream! I won't be able to sleep tonight if Ji Shen doesn't show up."

"Brothers! Breaking news! Those Koreans on the internet are getting excited too! They're saying MIT got revenge for them!"

"The Koreans still dare to jump around? They made a fool of themselves by copying homework, but now that they see the US has successfully copied it, they feel like they've won. What a true case of psychological victory."

"You guys chat, I'll go light incense for the God of Seasons and pray that he will quickly grant my wish."

In the comments section, people were cursing, laughing, crying, and making a scene, all crammed together.

Meanwhile, in the conference room of the Council of State in Beijing.

Parents' meeting... cough cough, a meeting is in progress.

The atmosphere wasn't as tense as it was outside.

It even exudes a composure that outsiders simply cannot understand.

"Heh, I knew that Golden Lion King would go back on his word."

"This isn't the first or second time they've broken an agreement."

"But is that technology from the MIT lab actually feasible?"

"We've tried it, and it's true, as they said, that it can reduce costs by 20%, but..."

"But what?"

"However, fundamentally speaking, this technology is still plagiarism!"

"At its core, it's still the same technical approach proposed by Ji Bai! They just changed the shell and modified a few parameters. It makes sense technically, but it doesn't hold up legally."

"I doubt the US sees it that way; this war of words is going to go on for a while."

"Then fight them! Protest, infringe on their rights, issue statements, and draw everyone's attention to this."

"Yes, stall them."

"Anyway, we didn't expect to completely control the US with just a single room-temperature superconductivity technology, but once that technology is realized..."

At this point, the meeting room fell silent for a moment.

"That's something that room-temperature superconductivity can't compare to!"

Even though the attendees were all high-ranking big shots, the thought of that thing still made them excited!

While room-temperature superconductivity is impressive, it still falls short compared to that...

"By the way, what has Ji Bai been busy with these past few days?"

"I heard... people drink cola, eat potato chips, and watch videos every day."

"Then I'm relieved."

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

A meaningful laugh, which only they could understand, rang out in the conference room.

If outsiders were to overhear the conversation in the Senate today, they would be utterly astonished.

The outside world is in complete chaos, and you can still laugh?

Furthermore, what exactly is "that thing"?

What is that thing?

no one knows.

All the outside world's attention has been drawn to the verbal sparring between the two major powers.

The Chinese government issued a strongly worded statement.

They angrily denounced the US for unilaterally breaking the patent licensing agreement, going back on their word, and showing no spirit of contract.

At the same time, they accused the MIT lab of infringing on their technology.

The statement was met with widespread approval in China.

However, the US side was not to be outdone and immediately responded.

A White House spokesperson said at a press conference, "The United States respects intellectual property rights, and MIT's technology is an independent achievement that has undergone rigorous academic review."

"If the Chinese side believes that this infringes on their rights, they are welcome to file a lawsuit."

His attitude was extremely arrogant.

What's even more infuriating is that they immediately announced a new round of technology blockades.

"Effective immediately, all exports of high-end chips and semiconductor equipment to China will be suspended! This is to ensure that America's technological leadership is not compromised."

The news caused another uproar in China.

The Chinese government has issued its second response.

This time, the wording was harsher, and even carried a rare emotional tone.

"The US uses the guise of protecting intellectual property rights to engage in hegemonic activities!"

"First you tore up the agreement, then you imposed a blockade, and now you're using other people's achievements to glorify yourselves. Is this the spirit of contracts you tout? Is this the fair competition you talk about?"

"We solemnly declare: the core patents belong to us! Any unauthorized imitation, modification, or commercialization constitutes infringement!"

The US retaliated again.

This time, the Golden Lion King himself took to the field.

He posted a message on social media:

"Chinese people always accuse us of plagiarism, but I'd like to ask, who invented the computer? Who invented the internet? Who invented the airplane? Who invented the telephone?"

"Without us, Chinese people wouldn't even be able to use cell phones! Now they've invented superconductivity, and they think the whole world owes them something? What a joke!"

"If they're not satisfied, then invent something new themselves, instead of clinging to that one thing!"

These words completely ignited the nationalist sentiments of American netizens.

The comments section on foreign websites was filled with jubilation.

"God! That old man finally said something I wanted to hear!"

"Exactly! We've invented so many things, and we haven't even gotten arrogant yet!"

"Chinese people love to take other people's things and modify them, and now they accuse us of plagiarism. They're shameless."

"Who is Ji Bai? I've already forgotten! Superconductivity is now at MIT!"

"I support the President! If the Chinese people aren't satisfied, then invent another lithography machine! Hahahaha!"

"Yeah, yeah, if you're so capable, go ahead and copy it too! You'd better copy the lithography machine, so you don't keep getting sanctioned by us!"

……

The foreigners' mocking remarks were brought back to China, leaving Chinese netizens completely stunned!

"Season God! Are you there?! Come out and say something!"

"Ji Shen! The whole nation is waiting for you! Where are you?!"

"Could it really be like what's being said online, that Ji Shen is past his prime?"

"Bullshit! How could Ji Shen not be able to do it! Ji Shen is holding back a powerful move! It must be!"

"That's right! Every time Ji Shen disappears, he comes back and pulls off a big heist!"

"I've already prepared my nitroglycerin pills, and I'm just waiting for Ji Shen to start broadcasting."

Just when Chinese netizens were getting anxious and on the verge of banging their heads against the wall, a message suddenly came out.

Source: Fucheng No. 99 Middle School.

No, it should be called now—

"Ji Bai Research Institute Affiliated High School".

The school's official website published an announcement:

Our school will hold an unveiling ceremony in three days. Ji Bai will attend and participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Below that, another line of text stands out prominently:

[Live stream throughout, 10 AM. Don't miss it!]

boom!

Weibo exploded.

Top trending topic: Ji Bai's live stream

Second on the trending topics list: Ji Bai Affiliated Middle School unveiled

Third on the trending topics: Ji Shen has finally emerged from seclusion.

The entire internet is going crazy.
