Countless cameras were pointed at Bai Zhi. The reporters who were allowed in had all been screened, and anyone who might harm Bai Zhi would definitely not be allowed in.
Ever since Bai Zhi entered the laboratory built for her, the number of security personnel around her has doubled.
The reporters' faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement, but they all remained quiet and looked at her without blinking.
At this moment, netizens across the country and even some netizens in other countries were watching the official launch of StarNet live through cameras.
Bai Zhi, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, stood calmly on the stage.
Teacher Xu and several other experts, as well as Bai Zhi's assistants - those top foreign scientists, were also excited and their faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Now, let me show you the second-generation star network." Bai Zhi said.
Teacher Xu walked over excitedly and picked up the helmet.
He was really excited. In fact, both he and several senior scientists who came to serve as assistants had a hunch that StarNet might be a series that they would never see again when they stepped into Baizhi's laboratory.
After all, they still haven't figured out what's going on!
Baizhi explained the principles to them, and they understood them. Many things became clear to them, but when they put them into practice, they realized the huge gap between them and Baizhi.
From the second day she entered Baizhi's laboratory, she showed them what it means to be a scientist ahead of her time!
She was like a sophisticated computer, and all they could do while she was working was to follow her instructions and do what she needed them to do.
During these three months, Teacher Xu felt that half of his brain cells had died in his attempt to keep up with Bai Zhi's progress.
But he was still so happy!
He witnessed a miracle!
I also witnessed the process of creating miracles in three months!
The helmet was picked up, and Teacher Xu's hand was projected on the big screen.
"This helmet was released along with the second-generation StarNet. It's like a client. You turn on the button on the helmet, scan your ID and face, and bind it to yourself. Currently, one person can only be bound to one identity."
Teacher Xu took out his ID card, opened the helmet, scanned his ID card and face, and Teacher Xu's ID card and his face appeared on the screen.
"Then, please look at the screen on the side of the helmet. There are some options on it. Of course, you can also choose to connect to your phone. You can connect via Bluetooth or a data cable to share your phone and StarNet data."
On the screen, the screen on the side of the helmet and the screen of the mobile phone connected to Teacher Xu were enlarged.
"The options that appear after turning on the computer include dining, work, study, entertainment, and more. Of course, these options are still under review and development, and you can enter any items you need at any time. Currently, only dining is entered, and more exciting options are waiting for everyone to develop."
At this moment, countless people in front of the screen have seen the business opportunity and excitedly took out their mobile phones to type. While typing, they pay close attention to Bai Zhi on the screen, not daring to miss a word she says.
"Click on the dining option, put on the helmet, and you'll be logged in. You can use your consciousness to select your dining options. Of course, other dining options haven't been entered yet, so there's only one option available—" Bai Zhi paused slightly, curling her lips, "Welcome to Cheng Family Restaurant."
The exquisitely decorated Cheng Family Restaurant appeared on the screen, and waiter 001 had already walked out to greet Teacher Xu.
"23333 Teacher Cheng Baizhi really always remembers that she is a chef!"
"Hahaha, they've already developed the Star Network. How much money must it be worth? And they're still thinking about 'recruiting customers'!"
"So cute!! Yay, mommy!"
"Amazing! Applause!! Applause to chef and scientist Cheng Baizhi!"
…
"Compared to other networks, the second-generation StarNet is more inclusive, offers more options, and covers the entire country, along with satellite signals... At the same time, the helmet has been upgraded, taking into account various factors like comfort, and the nutrition tank is now located on the back. To meet the needs of more people, the helmet will not be limited to this single model. We will also release holographic space capsule models and..."
Bai Zhi continued to explain. Teacher Xu had already taken off his helmet, but was still holding it in his hand, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"The second-generation Star Network can be rolled out nationwide. The third-generation Star Network, which will be available worldwide, will be an upgrade of the second-generation Star Network, not a replacement. The above is the general outline of the second-generation Star Network. I will officially name it the Huaxing Network, and this helmet will also be officially named the Huaxing Generation 1. Thank you everyone."
Huaxing!
Star of China!
A groundbreaking technology, just the name alone can make people feel proud of the country!
Moreover, the second-generation StarNet is for domestic use!
What? You guys want it abroad too?
Haha, wait for three generations!
"Fuck! I don't know why, but when I think of this name, and the idea of the whole world using Huaxing in the future, I want to cry!"
"Me too!! Oh my god, the Star of China?!"
"Woohoo! That's awesome! The scientists are awesome!"
"Wow, wow, wow, this is only available in China! Ahhhh, I really want to see the envious looks of those people abroad!"
"What is pride? What is pride? This is it!!"
“Applause, applause!!”
…
"Pa pa pa——" There was also thunderous applause at the scene.
These reporters could no longer hold back. At this moment, they forgot about not making noise and forgot about keeping quiet. At this moment, they just wanted to give their applause.
Bai Zhi maintained a calm smile.
In his mind, 444 trembled slightly: "Master, Master... Is your second-generation star network developed based on the system space? Why do I feel... a little similar."
Bai Zhi: "The second-generation star network is just the foundation. It's something I've already achieved in my own world. It can't yet form a consciousness space, let alone connect everyone's consciousness space. It can only rely on media to act on perception and consciousness. My understanding and cognition of consciousness is far from enough."
444 let out a long sigh.
Bai Zhi curled her lips slightly: "But now, the second-generation star network has been launched, and the foundation has been laid. I will continue to research the third and fourth generation star networks. I will unlock the secrets of system space and the secrets of consciousness one by one!"
444's long exhale stopped midway, and its breathing stagnated. After a while, it began to tremble.
It always feels that one day, its owner will take off its vest. Although it itself does not know what it will be like if it takes off its vest, it always feels that it is not a good thing...
Woo woo woo, I’m scared and want to cry.
The second-generation Star Network’s global live broadcast was launched for the first time, and Bai Zhi instantly became famous.
The entire network is full of praise and anticipation for the popularization of StarNet!
Sure enough, the official responded quickly that they would build the Huaxing Network as quickly as possible, allowing the Chinese people to officially enter the Star Network era ahead of the rest of the world.
For a while, the first thing that exploded was the external network -
"Oh, God, what do you mean? Are you saying we can't use the StarNet?"
"This isn't fair. If China can promote the second-generation Star Network, why can't we?"
"Technology is what drives the world forward. Some people can't be so narrow-minded as to only allow themselves to use it."
"Oh, we're not really interested in that. There's nothing particularly surprising about second or third generation things!"
"Our country M's technology is the best in the world!"
"Yeah, after watching those videos, I feel like the Chinese are so ignorant that they're so shocked!"
"I agree, narrow-minded Chinese people."
"...Actually, a friend of mine went to China and experienced it. He was even crazier than the Chinese people and was asking around about how to apply for a Chinese green card."
"I want the Star Network too!! I want to go to China too!"
…
The screenshots were quickly spread to China, and the Internet was full of ridicule.
"Haha, thank you for not being surprised. It's fine with us. You'd better not want it, never want it."
"Yes, we will use Huaxing Network. After all, it was developed by our Chinese scientists."
"Your country's technology is the best. Teacher Cheng Baizhi has explained the principles. Go research it yourself and build your own star network!"
"Hahahaha, come, let me show you. The fools are still jumping around, while the smart ones have already started applying for Chinese green cards. Link: Within 24 hours, the number of Chinese green card applications has increased exponentially..."
"Hahaha, if you have the guts, then why don't you use it in the future? We won't even let you use it!!"
…
Domestic netizens ridiculed it, and foreign netizens quickly responded:
"The Star Network isn't entirely the work of your Chinese scientists. That Cheng Baizhi didn't have any notable achievements before. On the contrary, a big shot from our Country M was also involved, and he also contributed to it!"
"Yes, the government must step in and clearly argue who owns the patent. If it belongs to our scientists, they must return it! They must also obtain our permission to use it!"
“Yes, the patent must be clarified!”
"What belongs to us must not be taken by them!"
…
Foreign netizens——
"Fuck!! This guy is so shameless!!!"
"Why don't you tell me that Teacher Cheng Baizhi is also from your country?!"
It was also at this time that the American scientist spoke—
"Oh, please don't misunderstand me. Huaxing Network absolutely belongs to Teacher Cheng Baizhi. I still haven't figured out the principles, let alone the applications. For the past three months, I've only been a small assistant, and I'm grateful to Teacher Cheng Baizhi for answering many of my questions. I must say that Teacher Cheng Baizhi is truly amazing, and her achievements are definitely not limited to the Star Network.
"I really respect her so much, so I plan to settle down in China and continue studying with Teacher Cheng Baizhi. There's an old saying in China that goes, 'You never stop learning.' I will continue studying in China. The patent for Huaxing Network belongs to Teacher Cheng Baizhi. I really haven't made any contribution to the Star Network!"
Country M netizens: “???”
Chinese netizens: "Hahahaha!!! What do you mean by slapping someone in the face? Just asking if it hurts?! Stay in China? You must have good vision. China welcomes you."
Country M netizens: “…”
A Chinese netizen commented: "Forget it, I won't argue anymore. I don't want to argue with those idiots who think even Cheng Baizhi, who created the StarNet, is incompetent. Besides, we'll all argue using the StarNet from now on. There's nothing much to say to those who are still stuck on the past technology."
Netizens from Country M: “…………”
Netizen from Country Z: "...That's what Country M said. It has nothing to do with us. We're looking forward to Huaxing.com."
Netizen from Country S: "We too, when we watched that video last time and saw the real touch and all, I thought, it would be so cool if this could be used in games and movies!!"
Netizen from Country E: "The actions of Country M have nothing to do with our country. I look forward to Huaxing.com."
Netizens from Country M: “…” Angry!
The quarrels between netizens from different countries on the Internet were so lively that no one paid attention to the press conference "accusing Cheng Baizhi".
Xiang Beiyin, Cheng Dingxiang and their senior brothers and sisters were still standing outside the Cheng family restaurant. They all had mixed feelings on their faces, and were extremely shocked and confused.
"Should we... continue to accuse?" a senior sister asked again.
For the first time, Xiang Beiyin's eyes were bewildered, and he murmured, "Will anyone still pay attention to us and listen to us now?"
"So is that all we have to do? Is there nothing we can do? This Cheng Baizhi is truly heartless and ungrateful. We are all her senior brothers and sisters, and she can even create a star network, yet she won't even show us a hand! Not only is she unwilling to help us, she's even ripping us out of our money!"
"Right! She's clearly at fault, let's keep making a scene! Someone will definitely report it!"
"If they don't report it domestically, then there's also overseas coverage. Look, many overseas netizens dislike her online right now. Even if people in China stand by her, people overseas will definitely criticize her, and maybe it will even have an impact back home!"
Several senior brothers and sisters were filled with righteous indignation, but Xiang Beiyin could see the uncertainty in their eyes, and they were no longer as confident as before.
"No one will care what you say. You're slandering us, no one will care!" Cheng Dingxiang stepped forward. "What we should do now is to find the truth behind Cheng Baizhi's research. She really doesn't know how to do research. As long as we find evidence, she'll be finished, and we'll have a way out!"
Xiang Beiyin said impatiently, "Are you really crazy? What truth are you talking about? If the Star Network wasn't created by Cheng Baizhi, who else could it be?"
"I don't know who it is, but..."
"Cheng Dingxiang, what do we Chengjiacai people say? It's none of your business. Can you please be quiet?"
"Yes, if you hadn't taken the lead in buying Cheng's food, how could we have fallen into this trap?"
"It's a good thing I didn't come after you. Stop being an eyesore!"
"If you make any more noise, we'll punish you!"
…
These senior brothers and sisters yelled at her and thought she was crazy.
Cheng Dingxiang couldn't believe it. She covered her chest which was heaving violently. Her vision went dark and she felt like she was going to faint.
However, before she could say anything else, and before these people could come up with any better ideas, a man with a camera approached from a distance and asked, "Are you going to sue Cheng Baizhi?"
“Yes, yes, yes, are you a reporter?!” The senior brothers and sisters’ eyes lit up.
"I'm a reporter. What do you want to accuse me of?" The reporter looked at them and asked seriously.
"Cheng Baizhi has a problem with her character! She is cruel and ruthless. She is the one who bullied all of us senior brothers and sisters, as well as her fiancé and cousin, until we had nowhere to live and were forced into a desperate situation!" said the senior brother angrily.
"Is that so?" The reporter was a little surprised.
"Yes, don't be fooled by her righteous appearance now, she actually has a very vicious mind!"
"When the master passed away suddenly, the Cheng Family Restaurant was actually left to her and Xiang Beiyin by the master. She couldn't cook, and the master wanted Beiyin to make Cheng Family cuisine famous, so he accepted Beiyin as his last disciple."
"But she slandered the relationship between Beiyin and Cheng Dingxiang, forcing Beiyin to return the Cheng family's cooking skills!"
"We can all testify to that."
"It's the same for us. We've always treated her as our own sister. When Master was alive, she taught each of us one or two secret recipes. After Master died, she told us to return her and not to take any of them out of Cheng Family Restaurant."
…
They tampered with the entire cause and effect.
It was obvious that they wanted to abandon Cheng's Restaurant and start their own business, but now it seems that Bai Zhi is heartless and ungrateful, and is forcing them into a desperate situation for money.
"And then?" The reporter looked at Xiang Beiyin.
Xiang Beiyin lowered his head slightly and sighed: "How can I pay back my craft? If I can't pay it back, she will make me chop off my hands."
This is true, he thought. If the reporters reported this, there would definitely be many netizens who would stand on their side and condemn Cheng Baizhi for such a thing as chopping off one's hands.
I just don’t know…
Now is the time when the other party is at the peak of his popularity. Can this reporter's report cause a big stir?
"And then?"
"I didn't want to cut off my hands, so I had no choice but to agree to her second request and gave her a large sum of money, which led to countless debts."
A senior sister quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes. Not only did she drive Bei Yin away, she also insisted on driving us away too. She even asked us to pay her a sum of money as payment for learning from Master! Since Master had just passed away, and we truly felt sorry for her, we gave her the money and even signed the contract to buy the secret recipe as she requested."
The senior brother sighed, "Master's kindness and righteousness have all been ruined by her."
"She asked you for it, and you gave it to her?"
"At first, we didn't want to give it to her, but she said that if we didn't pay her, she would sell the master's secret recipe. We were afraid that the secret recipe would be leaked and learned by others, which would be a shame to the master. We had no choice but to pay."
"We indulged her for the sake of our master, but what happened? She emptied all our family assets, pretending to sell us the Cheng family's secret recipe, and then cut off our escape route, leaving us..."
These people spoke with righteous indignation and exaggerated, as if Bai Zhi was really doing it for money and had forced these senior brothers and sisters into a corner, so that they came out to expose her publicly.
The reporter had been listening with his camera in hand. His face was full of seriousness and curiosity before, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed and he put away his camera.
He took out his cell phone and called 110.
"Hello, is this the police? This is the entrance of Cheng's Restaurant. There are a few people here causing trouble and publicly spreading rumors and slander, which has caused a very bad impact!" said the reporter.
The crowd who were still indignantly accusing Bai Zhi were startled and looked suddenly at the reporter.
"What are you doing?!" they asked.
The reporter had already hung up the phone, looked at them, and sneered—
"Bah! Do you think I'm such an easy person to fool? I'm a die-hard fan of Teacher Cheng Baizhi. Teacher Cheng Baizhi is a scientist who developed the Star Network. How much money does she want? How can she cheat you out of that little money? If she really wanted to cheat you out of that little money, it must be because you did something wrong and provoked her first! Besides, I know everything about who you are and what you have done before. Uncle Quan from Chengjiacai has already told me about it. It's really disgusting. You still want to slander Teacher Cheng Baizhi? Go to the police station!"
After saying that, the reporter turned and left.
If Bai Zhi had not already developed a star network that could be promoted nationwide, which had immeasurable value and was not short of money at all, and if he had not heard Uncle Quan talk about another version, he might have been fooled by these people this time.
It's so annoying. That Cheng Dingxiang picked people to cause trouble and then started to slander Cheng Baizhi online. Who is the bully?
The reporter left after mocking him, and the rest of the people stood there in shock.
Weren't they publicly accusing Cheng Baizhi? How come after just a short while, the reporters scolded them and left?
And also called the police!
"What should I do? He even called the police!"
"Oh my god, who is this person?!"
"Oh, I don't want to go to the police station!"
"Let's go now. I don't want to go to the police station either!"
…
Xiang Beiyin's face was dark, extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth, "Why are you leaving? He just took a video! Every one of our faces is in it!"
He looked at everyone, his eyes wide. "Remember, hold on to this statement! You must not admit to the slander, or no one will be able to save you!"
The police station was very close, and soon the police arrived and took them away.
Xiang Beiyin and Cheng Dingxiang kept crying out for justice, and those senior brothers and sisters also remembered Xiang Beiyin's words and were really ready to stick to their words.
pity……
Bai Zhi was being watched by various countries at this moment, and domestic leaders were also very cautious, fearing that she would be assassinated.
Now these people came out to spread rumors and slander, saying things that tarnished Cheng Baizhi's reputation.
When the leader heard this, he immediately said:
"Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly!"
Therefore, no matter how deeply hidden the matter was, it was dug out. A special interrogation team rushed from the capital and interrogated those senior brothers and sisters separately. Xiang Beiyin and Cheng Dingxiang really insisted on their statement.
But the senior brothers and sisters couldn't bear it and told the truth within two days.
Okay, for deliberately slandering national talents and damaging the country's image, you will be detained for three months!
Xiang Beiyin and Cheng Dingxiang were completely stunned.
Another three months.
When Xiang Beiyin and Cheng Dingxiang came out, they both looked a little dazed. They had both lost a lot of weight, and the dark circles under their eyes made them look even more gloomy.
For a moment, they weren't even used to being outside.
Some people, after being educated, turn over a new leaf and walk on the right path from then on.
However, some people not only do not change after being educated, but become more hateful, thinking that everything is caused by others, and their psychology becomes dark and abnormal.
"Xiang Beiyin...it was all your idea!" Cheng Dingxiang gritted her teeth.
Xiang Beiyin's eyes were vicious. He was used to hiding behind others, but finally he completely exposed his viciousness and calculations.
His voice was cold: "For the past three months, I have been thinking about how to deal with her...I made a mistake last time, this time, I will definitely not let her have an easy time!"
"What else can you do?"
"I am alone, and they are all idiots, so they can't deal with her. What if I unite all the people in the catering industry? Isn't Cheng Baizhi planning to do some holographic dining? She is not only damaging our interests, she is making an enemy of the entire catering industry. I don't believe that she can withstand the entire catering industry! If she doesn't let me live well, I won't let her live in peace!" Xiang Beiyin said in a faint voice.
Cheng Dingxiang looked at him, her eyes lighting up.
However, they were locked up for three months without knowing...
Another three months passed, and times had changed.
