204: Foot Basin Chicken: No! Can I kneel down for you? Let my godfather go first

Two days later, an unremarkable children's watch appeared on the display stands of Twilight Stationery stores in various provinces and cities.

Originally expecting the meticulously designed 【Star of the Future】 children's watch to be sought after, the result was a unanimous negative review from netizens.

【Is this plastic watch what we wanted? We wanted Julong Creative!】

【What's the point of a plastic watch? Hurry up and put the Industrial Pearl up; money would be rolling in, wouldn't it?】

【This plastic watch costs 320? Do you take us for fools?】

【Don't criticize the wrong thing, upstairs; this is a children's watch, for kids to use.】

【I don't care, anyway, if you don't list the Industrial Pearl, I'm coming to the Twilight Stationery forum to troll every day.】

【Same, +1! How can they not know to produce more of such good stuff?】

【Is it possible that Julong Steel isn't supplying raw materials to Twilight Stationery?】

【Aren't raw materials simple? Buy nine refills, three fountain pen tips, and a lighter gasket, and just make it directly.】

The netizens' teasing and slightly mocking comments activated the bloodlines of some unscrupulous merchants, and just two days later, a large number of high-imitation Industrial Pearl stationery flooded the market.

Twilight Stationery was forced to issue an announcement, condemning the fakes and releasing another one million units of Julong Creative, only the price was raised to 68 yuan.

"Chairman, President Nie is being too unreasonable. He just sent us the dividends and now he's raising the price?" Zhou Cun said indignantly.

Lu Shenwei said indifferently: "He only has that much vision; let him be. Anyway, we didn't lose money."

Yesterday, Zhou Cun held a 100-day pledge rally for the Unmanned Boat R&D Department, announcing a 20 million bonus for speeding up and increasing efficiency. As long as the prototype ship is completed by the end of May, everyone is eligible for a bonus.

The crowd cheered on the spot, and the five old Experts were so excited that their blood pressure hit 200, attracting the on-site medical clinic's emergency doctors to check on them.

"Our improved design has passed the Navy's review, and we are currently rushing to set up the production line. We will build the first prototype ship by mid-May at the earliest," Zhou Cun said.

Lu Shenwei nodded: "Don't sacrifice quality while accelerating the schedule. This unmanned boat is for the Coast Guard and Fisheries Administration, and maybe it will be sold to fishermen in the future."

"Don't worry, I've been eating and living at the shipyard recently. If there's a problem with the quality, you can take my head off," Zhou Cun swore.

Lu Shenwei's mouth twitched: "Don't be so extreme. Why would I want your head?"

"Cough, cough, just saying. You can rest assured about the quality," Zhou Cun said.

Julong Steel worked overtime to increase production, and Julong Steel also announced the netizens' petition request, promising to start researching lithography machines at an appropriate time.

Before the internet could even boil over, Dragon Xia Channel 1 suddenly broadcast a special report, awarding the 055 Destroyer "Nanyu Changsheng" the honorary title of 【Model of the Era】, praising all the soldiers of "Nanyu Changsheng" as heroes guarding the motherland's maritime borders.

Once the news was released, it instantly exploded across the entire network.

【Holy crap, big news! Huge news!!!】

【"Nanyu Changsheng" is awesome. I remember "Model of the Era" has only been awarded five or six times. What is this 055 for?】

【The news is confusing. It only says it intercepted the invading enemy, but it didn't say who the enemy was?】

【So anxious, asking online for answers!】

【Look at foreign websites, they exploded. Someone released combat videos on Little Blue Bird, and our Long Xia Destroyer even opened its missile silo covers.】

【Really? The missile silo covers are open? Still not having a feast for the other side?】

"The other side is the Community aircraft carrier strike group. Our Long Xia Destroyer's fire control radar was scanning the Community aircraft carrier, and the Community was so scared they were dizzy. They circled at sea for half a month and couldn't do anything, so they had to leave sneakily," Brother Qi said casually.

He had been holding it in for months, almost suffocating.

【A 10,000-ton destroyer taking on a Community aircraft carrier strike group? Is it that dreamy?】

【Why let the 055 fight alone? Are the other accompanying warships just watching the show?】

【Is it fake? Although the Community is not the most advanced aircraft carrier strike group, it shouldn't be scared by a single destroyer.】

【055: Brother, I won. guangyu silent aircraft carrier formation: Well done!】

【055: Brother, I lost. guangyu silent aircraft carrier formation: Brothers, grab your weapons and go!】

【Some people have been kneeling for so long that their knees have taken root. They cheer when foreign weapons are powerful, but doubt when domestic weapons are advanced. Idiots!】

【No matter how 'crude' Dragon Xia weapons are, they protect us. If foreign weapons are powerful, they are attacking us. Don't stand on the wrong side.】

【The 10,000-ton destroyer has 112 missile silos. Counting the supply ships, the Community aircraft carrier strike group only has 18 warships in total. Even if 4 missiles destroy one warship, it could wipe out the Community twice.】

"Those who like to argue can go to Little Blue Bird and see. The Community's Fury electronic attack aircraft was locked by the 055 as soon as it took off, and could only keep flying into the Pacific Ocean."

"Also, it is said that at that time, the 055 Destroyer was facing the Community aircraft carrier strike group and the Japan Izumo quasi-aircraft carrier strike group, totaling 32 warships. But our Long Xia Destroyer's captain wasn't afraid at all. He went into radio silence and went straight for it!" Brother Qi said proudly.

【This... is too outrageous, right? The Community's spy satellites and sonar radar aren't blind, they didn't find it when it was so close?】

【In the Dragon Xia Channel 1 news, you can vaguely see the shadow of the Community fighter jets. The closest distance between the enemy and us is estimated to be no more than 20 nautical miles.】

【Calculate the time, the two Japan division commanders who died, wouldn't that be when they died?】

"Cough, cough, now that it's unsealed, there's nothing that can't be said. It was just that they were panicked and made operational errors, causing the Osprey to crash," Brother Qi laughed.

【Good riddance! Why didn't two more die?】

【You say, how come the Japan Izumo didn't make a misfire and give our destroyer a shot?】

【Are you complaining that Japan isn't dying fast enough? Even its godfather could only retreat, and you want it to take a shot?】

【I actually hope Japan is bolder, so we can settle old and new scores together!】

【Japan: Don't! Can I kneel to you? Let my godfather go first.】

【@Brother Qi, I can understand the commendation for the 055 Destroyer, but the news also mentioned commending a naval vessel new material R&D enterprise. What's going on?】

"It is said, it is said that a domestic enterprise has developed the latest generation of stealth coating. Our 055 Destroyer was painted with this stealth coating, which is why it wasn't discovered by the Community's radar."

"The Pentagon is so anxious that they invested another 3 billion USD in the military-industrial complex to develop stealth coatings and upgrade satellite radar detection technology."

Hearing Brother Qi say this, the military fans couldn't sit still.

【The news just mentioned it, awarding a domestic scientific research enterprise the honorary title of Blue Guardian, and nothing else.】

【It's clearly meant to be kept secret, just like those two technologies from the end of last year that were too advanced to be displayed.】

【Why does it not feel like the work of a domestic military industrial enterprise? Usually, commendations are directly stated as such-and-such research institute.】

【The country has already requested secrecy, so let's not gossip blindly.】

"That's right, keeping state secrets is something we military fans should do better. Just stand on the sidelines and eat melons," Brother Qi advised.

Military fans enjoyed the gossip, while Lu Shenwei held the commendation document and felt incredibly happy.
