Chapter 692: The Shattered Dao Heart

United States Patent Office livestream room.

Booker sneered with a look of disdain, "Actually, we all know that Huaxia Mobile has been restricted from importing Semiconductor Chip for a long time, so when they started announcing that they were going to start sales, we all scoffed at it, thinking it was utterly ridiculous!"

"How could you people of Jiuzhou possibly produce such high-level Semiconductor Chip?"

"So we performed a certain degree of teardown on the early-access prototype, and sure enough, we found problems!"

The so-called early-access prototype was what Huaxia Mobile originally gifted to some friends in the industry. This included media, peers, and even a few loyal consumers, with the quantity being very small.

But, as long as it flowed out, those with ulterior motives would naturally be able to get their hands on it.

As he spoke, Booker even brought out a document.

"Here is the information we obtained. As far as I know, the company that is cooperating with The Group this time and providing the Semiconductor Chip is called [Qianlu Semiconductor Chip Research Institute], located in Shanghu! They are also a bunch of robbers, blatantly disregarding intellectual property rights!"

"It includes everything regarding the 7-nanometer process, various Semiconductor Chip technologies, and even packaging!"

"They all have problems! I have already listed the parts that involve infringement!"

"What happens when two robbers get together? The result is obvious! We must resist such a situation from happening!"

Seeing that Booker was becoming increasingly impassioned and his words were becoming more and more extreme, the internet celebrity hostess quickly interrupted him. She laughed awkwardly and said, "Um... Mr. Booker is just too excited, hahaha! He didn't mean to disparage Jiuzhou; he is a good friend of our Jiuzhou! As far as I know, this visit to Jiuzhou will involve many comprehensive collaborations, right?"

While stabilizing Booker on this side, she had the staff quickly control the comments on the other side, because people had already started cursing below.

Upon hearing this, Booker sobered up a little.

How did he let his inner thoughts slip out?

He deliberately smiled more kindly and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, I like Jiuzhou very much. Oh, my dear, if I remember correctly, the press conference should have started by now, right? Heh heh, let us see how he plans to explain the so-called [Huaxia super5G Mobile], and I will refute every one of his statements about the product one by one!"

"For every parameter he talks about, I will refute it!"

"Let you all know just how outrageous their phone is! Alright, my dear beautiful lady, please cast their press conference livestream to our screen as well, let's watch it together."

However...

The moment everyone saw the livestream of the press conference, they were dumbfounded.

No... it's not [Huaxia super5G Mobile]? It is [Huaxia Huaxia super2023 Pro 5G Mobile] Special Edition? What, what the hell is this? Did we time travel? Or are we collectively hallucinating?

"Oh, this beautiful lady, please do not open the livestream room for other products."

Booker frowned and said with a look of reproach, "This time is a criticism meeting for that phone. The press conference you opened must be a parody video made by some netizen, right? How could there be such an outrageous mistake?"

"Heh heh, I actually understand the humble Jiuzhou... um... I mean some crazy Jiuzhou people, who must think that Huaxia Mobile being sued is a conspiracy theory, so they made various parody videos to seek attention. But I want to say one thing, there is really no need to do this. You need to have national self-confidence, understand? If you are wrong, you must admit it! If you get beaten, you must stand at attention!!!"

"Quick, switch the press conference back."

Watching Booker's listless gaze, the hostess's cheeks trembled slightly.

She swallowed and said with difficulty, "Um... Mr. Booker, this, this is the official live broadcast of the Huaxia Mobile press conference. And, and I see that other streamers are also broadcasting the same image."

Hmm? What kind of joke is this?

Booker frowned, looking displeased.

The hostess quickly explained, "It's like this, according to the news just now, he said at the beginning of the press conference that what is being released this time is not [Huaxia super5G Mobile] but the more advanced [Huaxia Huaxia super2023 Pro 5G Mobile] Special Edition, and... and thinking about it, it was indeed not specified before which phone's press conference it would be..."

"Nani?"

Booker actually blurted out in the Japan language.

He looked at the screen in disbelief, then still tried to pretend to be calm and said, "Um... this, although no lawsuit has been filed against this phone, I strongly believe that it also applies the same infringing technology! It doesn't matter, haha, no impact! I can still refute it, everyone relax, I will tell you what kind of robber behavior they have committed!"

In the picture, Dong Zesheng's voice came through very clearly.

[When we were cooperating with the Qianlu Research Institute, we discovered the possibility of further optimizing the Semiconductor Chip.]

[Plus their Semiconductor Chip experts are really, really amazing! They successfully made a breakthrough, so this time we are prepared to equip it with 5-nanometer Semiconductor Chip, while simultaneously using higher-order hyper-threading technology to strengthen the processor's capabilities...]

[And in 5G technology, there has also been a breakthrough, adopting a high speed that has never been used in the world...]

[Next, I will show you the transmission speed...]

Silence, deathly silence.

Booker's mouth grew huge, enough to fit a basketball inside.

He looked at the screen in disbelief, cold sweat covering his forehead. This... this, this seems completely different from the information they obtained? Actually, actually already broke through to 5 nanometers? And even started mass production?

Could it be, could it be that Qianlu Research Institute is behind this?

Seeing that the situation was a bit cold, the hostess quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Booker, these technologies of Huaxia Mobile should all be infringing, right? Heh heh, I feel something is wrong just listening to it, could you please clear up our doubts!"

Booker turned his head blankly and looked at her, "Huh?"

Huh? What kind of answer is that?

The hostess quickly whispered, "Mr. Booker, are you feeling unwell?"

"I... huh?" Booker's eyes were still very blank.

What exactly is going on?

Why would Huaxia Mobile suddenly have such a huge technological breakthrough? To be able to make a 5-nanometer Semiconductor Chip? This seems different from the intelligence they obtained; could it also have been imported from some country?

Yes, that must be it! How could Jiuzhou possibly have such technology!?

Just as he was preparing to refute it, Dong Zesheng spoke again.

[Actually, I was also very surprised that we were able to achieve a breakthrough this time. To tell you the truth, the main credit goes to those experts at the Qianlu Research Institute. And I will keep you in suspense here, we have installed an AI software inside the phone.]

[You can understand it as our Jiuzhou version of ChatGPT.]

[But for now, it can only use some basic functions. The real complete version will be open to all consumers for free after the World AI Artificial Intelligence Competition ends in a while.]

AI software? Could it be... Qianlu Research Institute is also going to participate in this competition?

A bad feeling began to surge in Booker's heart again. At this moment, he happened to glance at the comment section of the livestream room.

Because before, there were many people spamming Chinese, which he couldn't understand at all, so it didn't affect his mood.

But! Suddenly, after a lot of insulting words like FXXK, SXXK, and Sh*t burst out, he started to become furious. He couldn't help but curse, "Is this the quality of you Jiuzhou people? Actually cursing? And the keywords aren't blocked?"

The staff on site were very flustered.

The hostess wiped her cold sweat and whispered, "It used to be blocked, but I don't know what happened today; it seems like only our livestream room can display these words. I just tried it in other people's livestream rooms, and my account was banned directly."

"F*ck..." [Beep—]

Before Booker could finish his sentence, the livestream room automatically produced a muting sound.

Hmm?

Booker was also wearing a headset and could hear what he said in the livestream room. Originally, this was to make the livestream effect better; after all, there is a delay in the livestream, so he could better control his speaking pace.

But, there was actually a muting sound?

He was almost furious to death, gritting his teeth and saying, "Beauty, what are your staff doing?"

The hostess was completely panicked, cold sweat streaming down, "No, we didn't do anything, it seems to be... it seems to be an official feature that automatically detected that you said indecent vocabulary..."

"F... " [Beep Beep Beep Beep—]

"I love you..." [Beep Beep Beep Beep—]

"Huh? I love you is also a f*cking blocked word..." [Beep Beep Beep Beep—]

That night, Mr. Booker's Dao Heart shattered.

His cultivation level dropped by several realms.
