However, Wang Yueheng didn't care.
His entire focus is now on that crucial performance the day after tomorrow.
With Master Mo silently protecting him from behind, these trivial interpersonal matters could not disturb his mind at all.
Wearing this military uniform, boarding that warship, and perfectly singing those songs—that was his only goal at that moment.
...
Back in his simple single room at the cultural troupe's guesthouse, Wang Yueheng did not rest immediately.
Tomorrow is the commissioning ceremony of the "Dragon Might" aircraft carrier, and he needs to keep his mind in a state of both excitement and calm.
He opened his laptop and, as usual, began browsing domestic and international news.
However, when he opened several internationally renowned news websites and social media platforms, his brows furrowed slightly.
While some mainstream Western media outlets reported on the imminent commissioning of China's third aircraft carrier, their reports were filled with skepticism and sarcasm.
Global Defense Weekly: "The Chinese Navy's 'Dragon Might' was hastily commissioned. What is its technological maturity and combat capability? It is unlikely to form an effective deterrent."
The article is filled with vague and biased phrases such as "according to expert analysis," "there may still be technical defects," and "eager to flex muscles."
"Maritime Safety Review" is even more direct: "Paper Tiger or Real Dragon? Examining the Hidden Dangers of China's 'Great Leap Forward' in Aircraft Carrier Development."
The article quotes so-called "military observers" to question the reliability of electromagnetic catapult technology, claiming that China may still rely on "borrowing" or even "stealing" key technologies.
They asserted that the "Dragon Might" still has a long way to go before it can achieve full combat capability.
The comment sections below these news articles, as well as some online forums in China frequented by "foreign-worshipping dogs" and "pro-Westerners," are filled with a chaotic and sarcastic atmosphere, with all sorts of cynical and sarcastic remarks running rampant.
"Hilarious, trying to get attention again? Electromagnetic catapult? It's probably just a steam catapult with a layer of blue paint, isn't it?"
"One aircraft carrier every three years? At that rate, they probably just weld a metal shell and launch it? Will the systems inside even be functional?"
"It would be hilarious if the carrier-based aircraft failed to launch and fell into the sea."
"All China can do is these kinds of vanity projects. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to improve people's livelihoods? Learn from the United States; they are a true aircraft carrier superpower!"
"A bunch of brainwashed pinks, do they really think their own stuff is so great? What the Western media says is the truth!"
"I told you long ago, this aircraft carrier is all show and no substance; it's just a moving target. In a real battle, it'd be sunk in minutes."...
Looking at these comments filled with ignorance, prejudice and malice, Wang Yueheng did not feel angry, but rather found them somewhat amusing.
These are the people who hide behind keyboards, relying on hearsay and conjecture to denigrate their country's achievements.
They had no idea how much effort and wisdom of researchers and military workers were behind the "Longwei" project, nor did they know what the technological leap it represented meant.
Of course, it's more likely that the people posting these comments are just online trolls from the opposing camp.
Anyone who actually falls for it and argues with these accounts that are pretending to be stupid is truly hooked.
Due to confidentiality regulations, Wang Yueheng, who was well aware of the inside story, was unable to directly refute these absurd statements.
This feeling of frustration—knowing the other party is a clown but being unable to prove them wrong with facts—sparked a thought in his mind.
Since we can't say it outright, why not use a more subtle and powerful way to express our attitude and retaliate against those petty people?
Wang Yueheng suddenly had an idea.
He then closed those annoying web pages and logged into his personal Weibo account, which he hadn't updated in a long time.
