Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 322 I can’t do it, so no one else can either
After ten hours of intensive use testing, Shobkov fell into deep thought as he looked at the battery power which had dropped slightly.

He even had a strange thought at this time. The battery of this K2 should be very durable, but the battery display could be fake and was specially used to cheat people.

Generally speaking, everyone is used to charging the laptop battery after about two hours of operation, or simply plugging it in all the time.

Could it be that the divine ship took advantage of everyone's thoughts and did this?
Shobkov quickly dismissed the idea. What company would be so stupid as to deceive consumers on a large scale?
Moreover, if a computer can be used intensively for even ten hours, it is already far superior to its peers. Shenchuan can just use this as a selling point to sell well. There is no need to take the risk of doing such a stupid thing.

"Okay! Then just use it to the end!" Shobkov turned on the computer and did nothing but use it, then recorded the battery level every few hours.

This process was updated in real time on his Facebook and Twitter, and there was also a video recorded simultaneously to prove that he did not falsify the time.

Shobkov himself has a considerable amount of traffic, and his post was quickly forwarded by many netizens, attracting widespread attention.

In the video of Shobkov's test, the appearance, battery life, charging speed, system sensitivity, and intelligence of the Fuxi K2 are so advanced that they seem like the product of several eras later.

Although the operating system is Microsoft's WIN system, COCO Assistant is definitely a groundbreaking existence.

The excellent Fuxi K2 conquered Shobkov, but it touched the taboos of Western media and a large number of technology bloggers and scientific and technological workers.

They each spoke up and cursed Shobkov.

"Shobokov is a clown, and a not-so-smart one at that. At least the average clown would brag about American computers."

"You can speak freely on the Internet but you cannot distort the facts. Shobkov's video is most likely fake. The purpose is to attract more attention so that you can get more advertising."

"To fabricate the performance of a laptop computer from a country that has been backward for a long time, Shobkov obviously has no basic understanding of modern science."

After reading these comments and criticizing them, Shobkov was stunned.

Why would I be scolded like this when I have my reasons and evidence?

If you say your video is fake, then show us the evidence of editing.

The most fundamental reason is the subconscious sense of superiority of Western whites. Since they themselves have not developed graphene batteries, they think that others cannot do so either.

This is also reflected in some articles, which provide "evidence".

For example, a famous American university and a well-known scientific research institution failed to replicate the experiments in Lu Shan’s paper, so let alone saying that the graphene battery is fake, they even think that Lu Shan’s two papers on graphene technology are fake.

Then, the media seemed to smell an opportunity, and this type of rebuttal articles flourished everywhere, with the media cited becoming more and more authoritative.

Even a financial and entertainment-oriented media like The New York Times used a certain section to report on this incident and wrote a special commentary.

Subsequently, more and more professors from well-known American universities came forward to refute the rumor that Lu Shan's thesis could not be replicated.

Seeing so many people saying that Lu Shan’s paper could not be repeated, those universities also breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was not that they were too incompetent, but that there were really problems with Lu Shan’s paper.

Then came more criticism, Lu Shan was scolded, and Shobkov was also scolded badly.

Shobkov’s social media accounts are full of insults, some of which are very harsh.

Let Shobkov go to Xia Country to get the money.

This not only left Shobkov completely speechless, but also aroused his stubborn temper. He really got involved in this muddy water. Why should he be scolded even though he had evidence?

So Shobkov directly posted the update, which basically meant that he did not cheat and that one only needed to buy the Shenchuan Fuxi K2 graphene battery version to know whether it was real or not.

If you can't buy it, can't you just ask consumers in Xia Country?

If you don’t have money to go to Xia Country, and don’t have money to buy things on the black market, just shut up!

After choosing the hard fight, Shobkov felt that his prostate was unblocked. These people deserve to be scolded, they are idiots who just follow the crowd.

After the update was published, Shobkov even chose to respond with some comments, saying that he would not tolerate anyone and welcomed all kinds of testing!
Is it useful? It is useless. There are too many fools, and some of them have the right to speak and have a high status.

These people are naturally well-known scholars from famous American universities. They cited classics and published their own experimental processes and data.

He also said bluntly: "If Lu Shan's paper is replicated by any scientific research institution, we will admit that our level is not good enough.

However, so far no other scientific research institutions have repeated the experiment. These institutions are the world's top scientific research institutions with the best scientific research talents.

The level is much better than Xiaguo's. The people who came from Xiaguo on exchange are not even qualified to do odd jobs."

Experts also disdained the evidence presented by Shobkov, saying it was a clever fraud. Americans were unable to identify this fraud because they were honest and never studied this technology, so they could not see it. If they could not even repeat the experiment, the so-called evidence was naturally fake.

As a result, Shobkov was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, and those who were originally on the sidelines turned against him. Especially his peers, who wanted to crush Shobkov to death and take advantage of his fans.

"Bastards! Bastards! These people are all idiots!" Even Shobkov couldn't help but get upset. He had evidence in his hands, but no one believed him.

Don’t talk about freedom of speech in the United States. That is freedom only when it is in the interests of the United States.

It is simply treasonous for Shobkov to praise the United States as a rival country. Many conspiracy theories have begun to say that Shobkov is a spy planted by the Xia country in order to undermine the confidence of the United States, and they have also called on the US authorities to arrest Shobkov.

Seeing that things were getting increasingly out of control, Shobkov simply fought to the death, not only for Fuxi K2, but also for his own innocence.

"The best way to stop the debate is to let people experience the truth! If anyone has doubts about my evidence, please send a representative to conduct tests. The testing process must be fully open!" After Shobkov posted this message, he began to hold the only Fuxi K2 in his hand and asked to go on TV to conduct experiments in public!

But this isn't something that's too explosive. TV stations need to make money, so who would be free to broadcast boring tests for several hours or even a week?

To this end, Shobkov publicly named those professors who opposed the incident and asked them to provide some public channel resources so that the matter could be presented on television and the truth could be made public.

"You say this is fake, but you don't even have the courage to let me show it publicly?" Shobkov got close to him and attacked, but the professors were dismissive, saying that Shobkov was just a clown who wanted to be famous and it was not worth their wasting such resources.

Not only do they not provide resources for public information channels, those professors even do the opposite, repeatedly appearing on television to explain how K2's graphene battery is a scam.

From production theory to battery theory, everything is explained thoroughly, and countless evidences prove that such a small battery cannot have such a huge amount of power.

This kind of operation directly broke Shobkov's defense. This is the nature of Westerners. They don't give you a chance to speak, nor do they confront you. They think whatever they think.

Shobkov clearly realized that this kind of media means would not work, he had to find more people to do the test, and then find a way to face the public directly. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to use the dumbest method, which was to buy a batch of Fuxi K2, and then set up a stall or a store to display it in public.

At the same time, raffles are held among ordinary people, allowing them to give feedback after use, thus increasing the channels for verification.

This is the idea, but there are still many issues to consider in the specific operations.

For example, if the store is to be displayed publicly, it must be planned carefully, and opponents must be brought in to watch over the store together.

Otherwise, you might end up buying for zero dollars, with not even a table left.

How to draw opponents into the water? Naturally, it is to place a huge bet to attract everyone's attention and make those who want to take action a little afraid.

There are also methods to use it for ordinary people, and those ordinary people have to be subject to public supervision. They can't just sit back and play with it.

If nothing happens after taking the baby home or if nonsense is spread, Shobkov will become a victim.

Then open a hotel for ordinary people, put a few people in to supervise and record the whole process.

After a lot of thought, Shobkov even thought of building a transparent room in a crowded place and setting up the computer directly.

However, the premise of these methods is that Xiaobokov can buy enough Fuxi K2. If he can only buy one or two, he can only leave them on the street for everyone to supervise and hire people to carry them and guard them.

Prepared for the worst, Shobkov asked his friends to buy the K2.

But when my friend heard that they had to buy 10 units, he felt very embarrassed. He thought that Shobkov had changed his career and started reselling goods on the black market.

After Shobkov's repeated explanations, his friend read some domestic reports and realized how deep the predicament his friend was in. He agreed to help as much as possible, but he couldn't say how much progress he would make.

The production of the graphene battery version of Fuxi K2 is too slow and the inventory is too low, so it is unrealistic to buy a new one or a second-hand one.

Looking at the entire Xia country, there are more than 2 counties, and on average there is not even one graphene version of K in each county!

Shobkov also felt that this matter would not work if it was handled this way, and he had to change his mindset. Otherwise, how could he have such long arms to work on the computer when he was in the US?

Fortunately, he had a smart mind and he really came up with an idea.

Through various connections, he asked his friend to contact Shenchuan's marketing department, saying that there was business to discuss overseas, and thus tricked Wu Jun's deputy into holding a video conference.

After starting the video, Shobkov said that the United States has a huge overseas market to develop, but the biggest problem at present is the United States’ smear campaign against K2.

If the smear is not resolved and the image is not restored, it will be difficult for Shenchuan to go abroad in the future. After all, the consumer market of the whole world takes the United States as a weather vane.

Hearing words like smear and negative, Wu Jun's deputy naturally asked what happened.

It’s not that Shenchuan is blocked from news, but that Shenchuan is developing at a high speed. There are too many things to do, and it is almost impossible to cope with the current domestic affairs.

Who has the energy to understand what is happening abroad?
Domestic demand has not been met yet, so let’s leave overseas demand alone for now.

But the boss said that the Shenchuan will also expand overseas.

Now that he knows that something might happen abroad that might be detrimental to the future development of the Shenchuan, the deputy naturally has to pay attention to it.

After opening the topic, Shobkov briefly talked about what had happened recently. The focus was naturally on the doubts and criticisms from American authorities and the pressure he had suffered.

The deputy had a good impression of Shobkov based on his experience.

Although he is a blogger and is also for traffic, he at least directly stated his purpose and insisted on believing in the magic ship. For this reason alone, it is difficult to dislike him.

"So do you have any thoughts on this matter? You wouldn't try to find me just to complain, right?" The deputy finally got to the point.

"I want to buy a batch of Fuxi K2 with graphene battery. The price is negotiable. To prove to the Americans that I did not lie and to prove the excellence of K2!"

"I'll go back and study this matter and give you an answer as soon as possible!"

"Please hurry up. The public opinion here is very intense. If we miss this window of opportunity, I'm afraid the Shenchuan will not have such a good opportunity to promote itself."

"Ok!"

The video was hung up at this point, and the deputy did not dare to delay for a moment and reported it directly to Wu Jun.

Wu Jun keenly realized that this was a good opportunity to expand overseas markets.

If operated properly, the impression of the Shenchuan in the United States and even the world will be that it is advanced and high-tech, and will not be described as cheap and mediocre.

A small meeting was held quickly as Wu Jun needed to hear more opinions.

"Don't worry about foreigners for now. After this promotion, our production capacity won't be able to keep up, and foreigners might be even more disappointed."

"I think so too. The Xia people are calculating. They can't even keep up with domestic demand and are trying to expand overseas markets. The Chinese people will definitely say that we don't value them."

"On the contrary, if the overseas market cannot satisfy us, foreigners will also say that we do not respect them."

"It's very risky to expand overseas. The policies of the United States and other countries are unclear. They might do something to our products. How about we deal with the domestic problems first and think about foreign issues later?"

"My opinion is that we should take advantage of this opportunity to promote the product. This will give the domestic market confidence..."

After a round of discussion, everyone's opinion was clear: we cannot expand into overseas markets too quickly, but we still have to prove ourselves. But that's all.

Wu Jun was unsure to what extent this matter could be accomplished and whether it would affect the future strategy of the Shenchuan, so he reported it to Lu Shan.

When Lu Shan heard this, he said without saying much: "Just do whatever you want, it's good to let foreigners be envious."

Wu Jun understood what Lu Shan meant. He thought that they should make good use of this opportunity to increase the exposure of the product.

If there is an opportunity, of course we should take advantage of it, not to mention that it does not require the use of the divine ship's money or energy.
