However, when summer arrived, everyone discovered another problem.

Without realizing it, and inexplicably, the amount of electricity used is increasing, but the electricity bill... seems to be decreasing?

In particular, household electricity consumption has decreased significantly.

"Hey, it seems like we didn't save any money this month. The electricity bill is only a third of last month's, can you believe it?"

"You too? I thought my family had miscalculated."

So, electricity prices have decreased nationwide?

"Last time, Xiaodian went around saying that our mom doesn't lack electricity, but not many people believed him. This is proving with his actions that he is telling the truth."

"I like this move... Other kids, come over here and learn it!"

"This makes trams even cheaper! I'll buy them all..."

This is probably the last major surge of interest in electricity-related topics.

This time, our motherland gave us a great sense of security, and everyone felt it.

Despite the high level of interest, most people don't actually pay attention to how much electricity the country consumes and produces every day.

They were unaware that things had already changed behind the scenes.

Of course, a small number of people will notice it, but the discussion is very low, there are no rumors, and it eventually comes to nothing.

As for some of the 500,000, they would be targeted if there was any unusual activity, and if something felt wrong, they would be taken away under another pretext.

Such a person's bottom line is inherently impure.

They could just come up with any excuse, and even they wouldn't know which piece of information had suddenly been dug up, let alone that the information they were about to inquire about was off-limits.

According to Xie Xuan, all her colleagues at the General Administration were busy.

It was just an ordinary day, but it felt like a major event.

However, this led to a thorough investigation, and a significant portion of the 500,000 were removed.

The most outrageous instability is in related industries abroad.

Oil-powered cars had already been squeezed out of the market in the past six months and had gradually withdrawn from the Yan Kingdom's stage.

Now even mobile phones are coming?

Other electronic products have also captured a significant share of the market due to their batteries.

Many brands and products have seen their market share in Yan Country shrink rapidly.

Especially with the lousy Apple phone, the entire company was a bit stunned. The precipitous drop in sales this month has already affected the company's stock.

The Yan country market is really important to Rotten Fruit Company, but they just pretend not to care about it to the outside world.

There was a year when this company was in crisis, but it released a special Chinese version of the phone, which saved the company immediately. How many people know this?

Now, under the attack of domestic Chinese mobile phones, Apple phones have no advantage whatsoever. If they don't release any new technologies this year, they will completely lose the Chinese market.

Fruity, a company that had already started launching new products, almost went under.

Even if they have the technological reserves, it's too late now!

Most importantly, their technological reserves are no match for those of domestically produced mobile phones in Yan country!

Are they really going to slink away like this?

With their brand, even if they don't surpass them, they're still close enough to be in the market.

However, their system advantage is gone, and their battery technology is also inferior. What can they do?

So, how did this battery technology suddenly emerge?

And how did that system suddenly become perfect?

They haven't found any bugs since it was released!

Fruity also understood why Yan Guo's mobile phone was released without waiting for them; they had no longer considered them as competitors and were full of confidence.

The setbacks in the automotive and mobile phone markets, coupled with the ominous premonitions arising from numerous brands, have put the United States on high alert.

However, it was all for naught.

They obtained some batteries through various means and removed them directly from the vehicle.

However, there was no progress.

The battery has a self-destruct protection program, giving them no chance to reverse engineer it.

At least for now, they are helpless even with that self-destruct program.

What can you do even if you know something's wrong?

The first time they went to the patent office, without any documents, they claimed that Shengzhao New Energy's batteries used their unpublished patented technology and that they needed to pay high patent fees.

This time, Song Ansheng didn't let them down and didn't indulge them.

They directly countered, but what patented technology did they use? Please explain.

The shameless man then demanded that the emperor reveal the manufacturing process so that they could inspect it.

Song Ansheng gave one word: Get lost.

Who the hell do they think they are?!

Immediately afterwards, someone took Shengzhao to the International Court of Justice, demanding that Shengzhao prove its innocence.

To put it bluntly, no matter how you prove yourself, you have to disclose some technology and data. The other party wants to get inspiration and research from this so that they can crack the battery self-destruct program and then reverse engineer it.

Public opinion was immediately stirred up.

The once peaceful online world of Yan was once again filled with a distorted rhythm and hostility, and suddenly became chaotic again.

The website of Shengzhao Company has been flooded with various provocations and expressions of indignation.

It's basically about proving your innocence and quickly explaining it, throwing evidence in the other party's face, and so on.

It's not entirely composed of overseas public intellectuals and online trolls; many people are also genuinely concerned for the Emperor's reputation and hope he can step forward and deliver a strong rebuke.

Song Ansheng wasn't worried. As long as he didn't go abroad, the court would be a joke.

However, the pressure from public opinion in China is still quite high, and we need to find a way to quell it.

Liu Yun scoffed: "People should never fall into the trap of trying to prove themselves. Whether they approve or not, whether they have doubts or not, what does it have to do with us?"
