"This is the European Union Technology Award Conference hosted by the Beautiful Country!" One said.
The European Union Technology Award Conference is a prestigious event organized by the scientific alliance of developed European nations, held once every three years. It aims to honor individuals or organizations with groundbreaking scientific achievements.
In the video, Bai Yanlang, who developed a 700-ton rocket engine for the Beautiful Country, was successfully awarded the "Emerging Technologist Award."
Bai Yanlang gave his acceptance speech.
"I am deeply grateful to the Beautiful Country for nurturing me and granting me the opportunity to become a citizen. I will strive to repay my country, the Beautiful Country..."
The high-ranking leaders of Long Country watching the speech felt an overwhelming urge to slap him across the face.
He truly embodied the role of a traitor, a turncoat, a white-eyed wolf, with such clarity and flair!
"Doesn't he find his own words revolting when he speaks them?" one of the leaders angrily remarked.
"People like him have long lost any sense of shame," replied the other.
The video continued.
Bai Yanlang's central message was a full-blown praise of the Beautiful Country.
It was utterly nauseating.
Next came an interview with Bai Yanlang by a reporter.
"Hello, Professor Bai. From your acceptance speech, it's clear that you have deep affection for the Beautiful Country and are a loyal supporter."
"Yes, the Beautiful Country deserves my utmost devotion, even my life," Bai Yanlang replied.
"Professor Bai, regarding Long Country's recent announcement of a 500-ton rocket engine, what's your opinion on this?"
"The people of Long Country have no creativity. They merely follow others, adapting and claiming foreign technology as their own. Moreover, I seriously doubt the authenticity of their claims. How could they dare launch a 500-ton rocket engine otherwise? Meanwhile, after we in the Beautiful Country revealed our 700-ton engine technology, we immediately launched a rocket into space!"
"Professor Bai, the scientist behind Long Country's 500-ton rocket engine is Long Zhen-guo. I hear he was once your mentor?"
"Do you think anyone from Long Country could ever qualify as my mentor?"
"I've heard that Long Zhen-guo is a towering figure in Long Country's scientific community. What's your opinion of him?"
"Trash."
...
"Bang!"
One of the leaders slammed his palm onto the conference table.
His eyes, filled with rage, narrowed as he clenched his teeth and muttered,
"What a buffoon!"
"Not only does he disown his own mentor, but he also dares to insult Elder Long!"
"We must show them the power of Long Country!"
The senior leaders quickly deliberated and reached a unanimous decision.
Before the European Union Technology Conference concluded, Long Country issued an official announcement to the world:
Long Country has developed a 1000-ton rocket engine, and three days later, it will launch the "Flying Dragon One" into space! In response to Bai Yanlang's insulting remarks about Long Country, we demand a public apology!
The announcement caused a worldwide sensation.
It swiftly became the hot topic at the European Union Technology Conference.
F Country: "Oh my god! A 1000-ton rocket engine? Do you believe it?"
D Country: "This is impossible! Just a month ago, the largest rocket engine on Earth was 500 tons, and now Long Country is claiming a 1000-ton engine? It's just nonsense."
The Beautiful Country: "I think they're just trying to get attention. We've developed a 700-ton engine. What gives Long Country the right to claim a 1000-ton engine?"
...
Countries attending the conference expressed their disbelief.
A reporter conducted a special interview with Bai Yanlang. To them, as a former talent from Long Country, his opinion on this matter was the most authoritative.
"Professor Bai, what's your view on Long Country's announcement of the 1000-ton rocket engine?"
"Pure fabrication!" Bai Yanlang retorted.
"But Long Country is going to launch 'Flying Dragon One' with this 1000-ton engine in three days!" the reporter countered.
"The people of Long Country are very sly. This is a classic tactic—'catch and release.' They make such an outrageous claim to get everyone's attention, only to later back out with an excuse."
"Long Country is demanding an apology from you for insulting them. Do you have anything to say?"
"If Long Country truly manages to develop a 1000-ton rocket engine, I will publicly apologize for my earlier remarks. But I highly doubt I will ever have that opportunity!"
...
Long Country's announcement also caused a stir on the national internet.
Netizens' reactions:
Netizen 1: "Awesome, my country!"
Netizen 2: "A 1000-ton rocket engine, it sounds incredibly powerful!"
Netizen 3: "Our 1000-ton rocket engine from Long Country surpasses the Beautiful Country by a solid 300 tons!"
Netizen 4: "Wasn't the Beautiful Country boasting? Now they've been slapped in the face! Haha..."
Netizen 5: "Damn Bai Yanlang, he insulted Long Country before. Open your eyes and see, we've developed a 1000-ton rocket engine!"
Netizen 6: "Long Country, rise!"
Netizen 7: "In three days, watch as Long Country's 'Flying Dragon One' soars to the skies!"
