201: Chapter 200 Han Xiaoxin's Idea

"General Manager Wang, is it really okay for us to do this?"

Inside Frontier Technology Co., Ltd., Han Xiaoxin watched Wang Shuo's operations in stunned silence.

Just a moment ago, he had witnessed with his own eyes Wang Shuo having Zero select a video that met the criteria to serve as Frontier Technology Co., Ltd.'s response.

"What's wrong with it?" Wang Shuo pointed to the backend data. "Isn't the result quite good?"

Han Xiaoxin was speechless.

As it turned out, the video released by the self-media account called "Creator Cool Talk" was indeed effective.

Especially that line, "If it's not true, I'll eat shit on livestream," which directly hit the netizens' G-spot and, objectively speaking, served as an excellent form of reverse motivation.

How good? Just look at the surge in zero egg orders in the backend and you'll know.

But this... isn't it too arrogant?

If he were one of these netizens, he wouldn't be able to stand it either.

Since when did the opinions of netizens who believe "with a keyboard in hand, the world is mine" stop mattering?

If someone criticizes you and you don't immediately issue a statement to apologize, where does that leave the netizens' face?

"General Manager Wang's approach is unconventional; it might achieve unexpected results."

Beside him, Liu Yemei adjusted her glasses and offered a rare explanation.

As she spoke, she looked at Wang Shuo, her eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

If the appearance of the zero egg had convinced her that Wang Shuo was a technical genius...

...then Wang Shuo's performance over the past two days made her look at him in a new light. In particular, his rapid reaction to public opinion, his decisive actions, and his crude strategy all made her feel like she couldn't keep up with his train of thought.

The feeling that her dozen-plus years of schooling were somewhat superfluous appeared once again.

"Unexpected results?" Han Xiaoxin was clearly bewildered.

This time, Liu Yemei didn't explain. She didn't want to waste any effort explaining such a crude strategy that was obvious at a glance.

Everything ultimately had to come down to the zero egg.

The explosion of netizens' anger was ultimately limited.

After the number of pre-orders for the second wave of zero eggs barely broke 5,000, the rate of increase slowed down visibly; now, there was basically only a change every dozen minutes or so.

This was the normal sales pace.

Han Xiaoxin, who hadn't spoken for a while after being stimulated by Liu Yemei, suddenly spoke up: "General Manager Wang, I have an idea."

"An idea?" Wang Shuo was a bit puzzled.

Han Xiaoxin rubbed his hands and said, "These netizens' combat effectiveness clearly hasn't been fully unleashed yet. We can provoke them a bit more."

"How to provoke them?" Wang Shuo was even more curious.

"General Manager Wang, is the assembly time for the zero egg production line a secret?"

"No." Wang Shuo shook his head.

Not to mention the production line assembly time, even the production line itself couldn't be considered a secret.

The most important part of the zero egg was still Zero, or rather, the primary Intelligent Core he had built based on the new code.

"Then it's easy to handle." Han Xiaoxin said excitedly, "Why don't we choose the most representative and most inflammatory self-media account, tell them this news, and then guide them a little?"

Wang Shuo frowned: "Specifically?"

Han Xiaoxin chuckled, leaned over to Wang Shuo's side, and muttered in a voice that everyone present could hear.

A moment later, Wang Shuo stared at Han Xiaoxin with a strange look, sizing him up from head to toe.

Why hadn't he noticed before that Han Xiaoxin could be this devious?

"This... did you just think of this?" Liu Yemei was a bit surprised.

"Of course." Han Xiaoxin puffed out his chest and said triumphantly, "When it comes to management and planning, I'm not as good as you guys, but when it comes to psychological manipulation and pranking people, I'm a professional."

Hackers, the main thing is being professional.

Looking at Han Xiaoxin's expression, Wang Shuo sighed regretfully for those netizens.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Wang Shuo patted Han Xiaoxin on the shoulder. "If you mess up and things get exposed, I'll hand you over, just like the Chen Group."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

The Chen Group? Han Xiaoxin stood there, unable to react for a moment. A moment later, a scream rang out.

Those who prank others will be pranked in return. A wise saying.

Ignoring Han Xiaoxin's scream, Wang Shuo and Liu Yemei went straight outside the company and got into the black business car that had already been prepared.

This car belonged to Chen Xin, but now, it had been left by Chen Xin in Hanzhong City as Wang Shuo's transport.

It seems he needed to find time to buy a car; constantly using Chen Group's things didn't seem right.

Moreover, the matter of bringing his mom and dad to Hanzhong City also needed to be implemented as soon as possible.

The construction of a safe house also needed to be put on the schedule; otherwise, even if his mom and dad came, he wouldn't be very reassured.

Also, although he had already upgraded the Eagle Eye in Hanzhong City to Sky Eye, because the time was too short and he had had too many things to do these past few days, he hadn't had time to implement the subsequent supporting facilities one by one.

Because of this, Director Jiao had already urged him several times; he had to implement it as soon as possible.

There were so many things to do.

"General Manager Wang." As soon as they got into the car, Liu Yemei habitually took out a folder and began to report on work: "According to your requirements, four zero egg production lines have been assembled. If the performance fully meets the requirements, it is expected to produce 5,000 zero eggs per day."

"Regarding the adapter parts, since we have already communicated with the suppliers in advance and started production early, many raw materials and original parts have been shipped to the Donghai City warehouse, which can meet the manufacturing needs of nearly 20,000 zero eggs, and the stock of goods is still increasing."

"The only thing lacking now is the mold for the zero egg shell."

"Sub-Space Company has successfully produced the shell material you need, but the number of molds is still insufficient, which to a large extent restricts the production of zero eggs."

"Shell molds?" Wang Shuo was a bit surprised: "Didn't I already make some molds and hand them over to you? Plus the parts ordered, isn't it enough?"

Liu Yemei shook her head: "Not enough. The manufacturing plant processing the molds encountered difficulties and cannot guarantee the yield rate. As of today, they have only delivered five molds. Adding the ones you gave us, the total number of molds now is only fifteen. According to the manufacturing process, for the shell to meet the performance requirements, it needs to be solidified in the mold for at least ten minutes before it can be demolded for the next production. Even if everything is controlled by Zero to ensure maximum efficiency, it can only produce 2,160 zero egg shells per day."

This was only half of the production line's capacity, indeed restricting the zero egg's output.

But... such a large machinery manufacturing company couldn't guarantee the yield rate?

Wang Shuo sighed speechlessly: "Let Han Xiaoxin make another trip; he has experience."

The company's staff was still too small.

Not counting the people from Sub-Space Company, he only had five employees on his side, which was truly unreasonable.

It looked like he had to recruit people again. Wang Shuo calculated in his heart.

"General Manager Wang, one last thing." Liu Yemei hesitated: "Does our new production line really not need human intervention?"

"No need." Wang Shuo said casually: "Zero will report the situation to me at any time; you don't need to worry."

Liu Yemei stopped speaking, wanting to say something more.

She wasn't worried about production problems; after all, in a factory without people, even if problems arose, it would only be a loss of some raw materials and equipment. What she was worried about was the consequences this would bring.

Fully automated, zero human labor, 24/7.

This kind of intelligent production line that required absolutely no human intervention, after the appearance of Zero, and based on Zero's logic and learning ability, had become a technology that could be fully realized.

Liu Yemei looked at the zero egg placed to the side, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.

The car moved forward steadily under Cheng He's driving.

A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination. Wang Shuo looked up; this was... the Graduate School of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
