Chapter 70
The News Broadcast is China's most important platform for public opinion and the most important political weather vane for China's more than 1.4 billion people.
Today's news is clearly different.
I originally thought it was a commendation for the Qianjin Technology Center. After all, the various technological inventions at the center over the past two years have put China on a path of rapid development.
Qianjin Technology Center Base—this name is familiar to Chinese netizens. Every time they hear it, there's good news.
"The Qianjin Science and Technology Center boasts some of our nation's top scientists. Follow us as we take you on a detailed tour of the base."
No one expected that this time they would film the situation inside the base.
On a certain forum, people have already started discussing this news broadcast.
--There must be a big event this time.
I think it's probably just a way to recognize the base's contributions. The base's functions are worthy of a whole news broadcast.
--Guess what the base has researched this time.
--I hope it's military. That weapon broke through the defenses of those guys outside during the last exercise.
But when the situation at the base actually appeared in the camera, the discussion changed.
--What's going on? No, it's good to keep it a secret. Don't reveal anything.
--Once the project is exposed, it will definitely be targeted from outside.
It wasn't just this forum; everyone was saying that it was better to just keep quiet and make a fortune. But when the actual introduction to the base began, the discussion focused on the situation inside.
This time, the News Broadcast devoted an entire episode to a separate introduction to the base.
First, we will introduce the achievements that the base has put into society over the years, and then introduce the scientists corresponding to each achievement one by one.
In these scenes alone, dozens of scientists appear.
The conditions of the base revealed during the interview also opened everyone's eyes.
--I didn’t expect that the ninth district is actually in our China.
--If it wasn't the news broadcast, I would have thought it was a science fiction film.
--That chair just now, was it floating?
--Upstairs, I just watched the replay, and yes, that chair was floating and moving.
--Oh my god, there are so many good things hidden in the base.
As the news broadcast played, related trending searches popped up one after another. Even a certain short video platform started slicing up the news, setting it to soaring music and adding the hashtag #TheGreatestBase#.
As a global power, China's news broadcast has also attracted a lot of attention. The base's affairs are no longer limited to domestic online platforms.
Foreign Twitter and Facebook were also discussing this news broadcast in real time.
Some are jealous, some are disbelieving, and some have bad intentions.
Certain governments were also watching the news broadcast, especially those that had sent out numerous spies to uncover the base's secrets.
The president of a certain country was sitting in a conference room, and the screen was showing China's news broadcast.
With the news broadcast playing in the background, the director of the Intelligence Bureau was reporting on his work.
"We've successfully obtained a name. Li Hao. This person is inextricably linked to the base's secrets. We've investigated and found that this person is a 23-year-old female online celebrity from China. We've also discovered that she hasn't live-streamed for two years, which coincides with the creation of the base."
This was all thanks to Minister Luo's quick response. On the first day of Wang Bing's report, he banned the live broadcast and set up a blocker, completely erasing Li Hao's live broadcast from the internet. Even if there was a screen recording, all the information would have been cleared based on the image recognition.
"Monia, tell me, a 23-year-old female internet celebrity is related to the most important base in China?" The president said directly. He had begun to doubt whether his CIA was just a bunch of useless people, as such fake news could be reported to him.
"This is our..." The director of the intelligence agency wanted to explain, but was interrupted.
"Okay, let's take a look at their news first." The president was dissatisfied with the CIA, which had invested a lot of money. You know, the chaebols nowadays are not as generous as they used to be, especially when it comes to dealing with China.
In the past, whenever it came to dealing with China, those capitalists were very generous in spending money. But now it's different. Even those who supported his election have changed their tune one by one.
But he also knows some things. It's a pity that he is the president now, but when he retires...
This news broadcast was very well-organized. The first ten minutes covered the base's past achievements, while the middle ten minutes focused on the base's current research projects.
This was an unexpected development, and even foreign powers hadn't expected China to be so "generous" this time, daring to reveal so much information.
The first project left everyone speechless.
This lab is incredibly large, and the interview was actually conducted inside it. China is incredibly arrogant. They even dare to showcase unreleased projects. Aren't they afraid that other countries will copy their research?
"Professor Liu Qi and his team have successfully developed a super-anti-nuclear bomb weapon." The reporter's introduction was like a thunderclap.
What the hell!
"WTF." The president of a certain country stood up and couldn't believe how China had developed anti-nuclear weapons.
"This is impossible. We haven't made any progress in our research. The most they have developed is indirect anti-nuclear weapons. It's impossible for China to..." A general with epaulettes next to him couldn't believe it.
The news is continuing. After introducing the situation, Professor Liu Qi will give his introduction.
"This super-anti-nuclear weapon is not the previous indirect anti-nuclear weapon. Even if some countries set up launch points next door, with this weapon, no nuclear weapons will explode on Chinese soil." Professor Liu Qi said the last sentence and pushed his glasses. The direction of his words was very obvious.
The content of his words was like a nuclear bomb exploding across the entire planet.
--I see, this isn't news, it's a threat. Hahahaha.
--Who else is there now, who else is there now!
--Those foreigners should just keep their tails between their legs and let the whole world tremble for China!
--Tomorrow we will go and recapture a certain province. Let's see if that person dares to come.
--I'm not afraid anymore, are you afraid? I have it, hehehe, you don't.
On foreign forums, it is like losing one's parents, especially those countries that like to clamor online by licking the big countries. They feel like a knife is on their necks.
Some pacifists, who advocate global peace, have come out and said that China's weapons should be made public and that they should destroy their own nuclear weapons. However, the Chinese have treated their claims as nothing and ignored them completely.
The president of a certain country even started making phone calls. The impact of this incident on the international situation was no less than a tsunami. He needed to quickly contact the European countries to form an alliance.
But this news broadcast is not over yet.
There are only three projects in the ten-minute introduction, but each one is better than the last.
When the reporters arrived at the second laboratory, they did not see any instruments or scientists in white coats.
Instead, there were several soldiers in uniform. This place wasn't a laboratory, but more like a training ground.
"What lies before us now is a crucial project within the base: the research of spiritual power. Before us are the first soldiers who have successfully activated their spiritual power."
--Wait, wait, did I hear it wrong!
--What's this?
I woke up half asleep and saw the news broadcast talking about mental strength and spiritual power. I went back to sleep.
--I must be dreaming. What time is it now?
--Hahaha, my TV must have been hacked.
--Is it just the name used? Don't think too much about the above.
Now not only people in China are confused, but people abroad are also wondering what China is up to.
But when the camera was focused on the three people on the training ground.
The leader was Zhang Leiyu, the first person in the base to activate his mental power.
There were a lot of things placed around him. He first demonstrated how to lift those heavy objects with his mental power.
Then he raised his hand and condensed a ball of water in his hand. The two soldiers behind him also demonstrated. Lightning, storms, and so on, made the entire venue very lively.
This series of actions left netizens speechless for a long time. Even the trending searches were not ready.
"These are all soldiers who have awakened their spiritual power after practicing meditation. They will be promoted in the army later." A general with a medal on his chest and three on his shoulders announced the news to the camera.
--This is real, it really is mental power!
--I just pinched my thigh hard and it's still swollen.
--*&^%gGLL
There are also guys who have been so stimulated that they have started talking nonsense.
In the university, which is mostly populated by young people, screams rang out one after another. Finally, it became four words, although vulgar, they all expressed the strongest feelings.
China is NB! China is NB! China is NB!
The voices were from both men and women, and many people rushed to the playground, talking to everyone who was walking and had not watched the news.
The hot searches immediately dominated the screen, including mental power, fireballs, how to join the army, age requirements for enlistment, and how long after enlistment one can learn meditation.
The anchors who were actually broadcasting live on the Internet also started watching the News Broadcast.
By the third project, everyone felt that nothing could shock them anymore.
"A very important item for the base is placed here. However, this item belongs to a person and will not be studied for the time being."
What things belong to individuals? Aren’t all the things in the base state-owned?
Netizens were puzzled, but continued to watch.
This shot is taken from top to bottom, but it also allows you to see the whole thing right away.
A mecha, an incredibly beautiful mecha.
--I've had enough stress today, but now my watch is going off and telling me I'm having a tachycardia.
--There's been constant screaming in our school right now. My roommate just asked me to slap him. I did, and he let out a howl and is now running laps.
--I have no regrets in death. Even if I faint now, I am satisfied with my life.
Waiting for the CCTV camera, we walked down from the second floor and arrived in front of the mecha. Step by step, the beauty of the mecha and the oppressive feeling brought by the machine were presented to the camera.
--I am studying abroad, and my roommate is watching the news with me. He can't believe it's true. He wants to learn meditation and he wants a mecha.
--There are still ten minutes left in the News Broadcast. Guess what's next? It will be at the end.
--I think there should be no more. Maybe the leader is about to speak.
--Enough, enough, my heart can no longer bear the stimulation.
"...Not only does the mecha belong to this man, but all the projects in the base are because of this hero."
