Chapter 32: Chapter 32 News Release, Netizens Dumbfounded.

The feedback on He Xingzhou’s video was not good. The main reason was that everyone thought he was bragging. As a result, he had lost quite a number of fans.

The website’s video editor hurriedly sent a private message to He Xingzhou, writing: “Big Bro, don’t play like this. It wasn’t easy for you to gain fans, now you’re about to lose them. There are even people who reported you for making a fake video and grandstanding.”

He Xingzhou replied: “Don’t worry, the video is real.”

Xiao Mu wanted to cry, but he had no tears. It wasn’t easy for he to find an uploader with high potential, but he didn’t expect him to start courting death so quickly.

When he was working overtime at night, Xiao Mu was depressed.

His colleagues asked: “What’s wrong? Why do you look unhappy all day?”

Xiao Mu said helplessly, “Don’t mention it. Do you know the uploader, He Xingzhou?”

“I know him!” His colleagues still remembered his live broadcast of the construction of the miniature nuclear fission reactor. “This is the uploader who has been gaining popularity the fastest recently. The editor-in-chief also said at the last meeting that he is still on the list of key recommendations.”

Xiao Mu said, “He posted a video today saying that he wants to build an electromagnetic levitation car. Forget about it. He also said that he has created a metal air battery, which has twenty times the performance of an ordinary lithium-ion battery!”

“Twenty times? Is he joking? With such an awesome battery, why would he make a video?” His colleagues ridiculed him.

“Yeah, it’s fine if he’s the uploader of the spoof video. The key is that his label is the author of the hard core technology video. Isn’t his reputation going to collapse?” Xiao Mu said gloomily, “It’s not easy to find a uploader with potential. He’s basically ruining himself.”

While the two were talking, another colleague asked, “What are you guys talking about? The battery on the news? I think it’s awesome. If this battery is mass-produced, the battery life of an electric car can be increased by 20 times. I’ll buy an electric car in the future!”

“What news? What battery?” Xiao Mu and his colleagues who were chatting looked at him in unison.

“The news.” The colleague held his cell phone and read, “I just got a notification. The Research Institute of Battery Technology of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences announced that under the leadership of our scientists, He Xingzhou, Yu Xing, and other comrades, the research team has successfully developed a commercially usable metal air battery.”

“This battery can reach 20 times the energy density of a power battery at the current stage. It has overcome international difficulties such as the electrode material, safety, and low cycle life.”

The Project Black Tortoise team also discussed the issue of whether or not to include the member names. In the end, they decided to sign the name of some members because the Project Black Tortoise would be announced sooner or later. At that time, influential scientists would be needed to verify this matter. The signature could expand the influence of the scientists.

“What?” A few video editors were stunned when they heard this.

They were chatting, and the news confirmed this matter?

“Really? Let me see!” Xiao Mu quickly went to his phone to watch the news together.

Sure enough, the news reported this matter.

“F*ck, it’s actually true!” An editor exclaimed.

“Look at the name here. The reporting unit is the national television station!”

“Not only that, the China News Agency also reported it. There’s also the People’s Newspaper!”

“There’s a video here. Just now, the news channel also broadcasted this matter!”

On the video, a familiar television host announced, “The latest news is at 6:30 pm today. The National Academy of Sciences announced that under the leadership of our country’s scientists, comrade He Xingzhou and comrade Yu Xing, our country’s battery technology research team has successfully developed the world’s first fully autonomous intellectual property rights, commercially available metal air battery. It is reported that this battery belongs to a new generation of batteries that transcends eras…”

“? ? ! ! !”

When the video editors saw the news, a shocked expression immediately appeared on their faces.

“If I remember correctly, the uploader you mentioned just now is called He Xingzhou, right?” A colleague asked Xiao Mu.

“Yes… I think so!” Xiao Mu’s mind went blank.

“Awesome, my brother!” His colleagues shouted one after another, “You’ve picked up a treasure, this uploader is really awesome!”

“The national television station’s news report, the National Academy of Sciences’ announcement, and it even has a signature! It is all over new headlines and it’s even trending on Weibo searches now!”

“It’s like putting a little pig on a plane. Pigs are really flying now!”

Xiao Mu who felt bothered the entire day sighed, “I actually wanted him to change the video. It seems like I’m the clown here.”

He quickly sent a private message to He Xingzhou. “Boss, I saw the news! I was wrong, you’re too awesome! I’ll contact the operations department right now and give you a video recommendation, an APP recommendation, and a top page recommendation. Everything will be arranged in one go! (emoji: worshipping boss)”

When He Xingzhou saw the message, he replied, “Calm down, this is just so-so.”

Xiao Mu was not the only one who saw the message. Fans who had watched He Xingzhou’s video also saw the news feed.

Some people returned to the comment section again. This time, their style of comment was completely different from before.

“It’s a slap in the face! It’s a slap in the face! I just saw the news. It’s actually real! The battery in the author’s video was really developed by him!”

“6666! Hurry up and worship the Big Boss!”

“What about those who said that the author faked it? Did you see that? The national television station has broadcast it. The Academy of Sciences has officially announced it!”

“What kind of monster did I follow? The uploader is too awesome!”

“I love him, I love him, hurry up and follow him!”

The netizens who had previously doubted He Xingzhou quickly came out and issued a statement, saying, “Everyone, stop scolding me. I apologize. I really didn’t know that the uploader is so strong! I take back what I said before. Now, I only have one sentence, He Xingzhou is awesome!”

There were even people who refreshed the video and reminded the new viewers with on-screen bullets, “You may think that the author is bragging, but you will realize that the author is really awesome after watching it!”

“The number one hardcore uploader on the Internet, I will f*cking blow this video up!”

“I am suddenly looking forward to the author developing this electromagnetic levitation car!”

..

He Xingzhou’s video quickly became popular. Under the various major news outlets, there were also many netizens who left comments expressing their praise.

However, most ordinary people did not know what the improvement in battery technology meant. They only knew that the batteries might be more durable in the future.

The related companies that use batteries went crazy when they saw this news.

Ning Yuan Era, the number one company in China’s battery industry, a giant with a market value of over 800 billion. They were battery suppliers for Apple, BMW, Toyota, Tesla, and many other well-known companies.

The moment they saw the report, the company was in an uproar.

“Forwarding: [our country has independently developed a commercially available metal air battery… ]”

“Everyone, this is big news! This new technology has suddenly appeared! The battery industry is going to change!”

“This is too scary. If it wasn’t for the news released by the National Academy of Sciences, I wouldn’t have believed it. This technology is at least 20 years ahead of its time!”

“Hurry up and contact the research team. We have to get the authorization for this technology. Otherwise, we will be eliminated by other companies in the future!”

“I’ll go personally!” The company’s founder and president, Cao Wang, said. He himself came from the research institute and had connections in this area.

How could he not be concerned about the technological progress that had taken such a leap in the industry?

Other battery companies were also trying to find out more information, and the related industries were boiling with excitement.

BYD automotive company, the famous Chinese car company, was also the world’s second largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries.

At the company’s headquarters, it was already 7:30 pm. The executives were supposed to get off work, but because of the appearance of this news, they held an emergency meeting.

“Amazing, the metal air battery has been developed, and it’s even specially marked for commercial use!” One of the executives said, “Doesn’t this mean that the era of electric cars is really coming!”

“Yeah!” The executives at the meeting were extremely excited. “With this kind of battery, the endurance and power of the electric car will no longer be a problem, and it will even surpass the fuel car!”

“I think the other colleagues have heard the news. We need to quickly contact the research team. Who here has the channels to get to them?”

“There are two people mentioned in the news, He Xingzhou and Yu Xing.”. “This Yu Xing’s information can be found. He is an expert from the Battery Technology Industry Research Institute under the National Academy of Sciences.”. “We can’t get through to him at the moment. We have already contacted the research institute, but we haven’t received a reply yet.”

“What about the other He Xingzhou? Does anyone know who he is?” asked a vice-president.
