“Allies are shocked”
This is not some drunk cat or dog talking nonsense, this is America's president!
The head of one of the three major super political groups in the world today can exert huge influence with every move he makes.
Even if he drinks a can of Coke, he will be trending!
Not to mention the hot topic of mecha!
Thanks to Yunmeng's spreading influence around the world, even those who are not Yunmeng users are somewhat aware of major events that occur in the virtual world.
Although Yunmeng’s global users will only now exceed 500 million, these 500 million are not randomly selected from around the world, but are highly concentrated in relatively wealthy countries in the world with relatively mature Internet development.
and region.
To put it more bluntly: the quality of Yunmeng’s users is very high, and the volume of public opinion is also extremely impressive.
Whenever something big happens in the virtual world, they can easily turn relevant information into a hot topic on the Internet in their own country.
[Mecha], a thing that was once so niche that almost no one knew about it, has continuously appeared in the virtual world and been popularized by Lin You. After building momentum, it is no longer an unfamiliar concept.
Especially in the past two days on the [All-Star Track], the video of "Mecha vs. Dinosaurs" has become very popular again, and everyone is familiar with it!
The only problem is: this familiarity is based on the premise of a "virtual world".
But now, what does this Mr. President say?
"America's own mecha"?
Social networks around the world exploded instantly:
"What do you mean, they want to build mechas too?"
"Wait a minute, why do you say 'ye'?"
"What he means is that because others are already building mechas, they are not willing to lag behind and want to build them too?"
"Who built it first? Wait, it couldn't be Lin You, could it??"
"But isn't Lin You just creating and playing in the virtual world? This can't be taken seriously, can it?"
"Brother, you are already behind on news! There are rumors that Lin You has even drawn the real mecha blueprints!"
"!!!"
…
The most confused ones are the netizens from two countries: one is the netizens from America’s own country, and the other is the netizens from Daxia.
The former is because: in the past few months, while the Internet around the world was discussing Yunmeng and learning about hot topics in the virtual world, America was "alone".
The virtual world in America is a relatively independent "local area network".
In most overseas countries, as Yunmeng enters the market, the virtual world network will be interconnected with the country's mature Internet connection. Not only Mirage users can easily jump back and forth between the "virtual world" and the "real network".
Through their discussions and transfers, other netizens without phantoms can easily learn about the virtual world.
Information between reality and virtuality is interconnected without much hindrance.
But America is an exception.
They are wary of Yunmeng not only on the "embargo", but also on "public opinion".
When Lin You was about to go into space, many netizens ridiculed: "America didn't let Yunmeng go in because she was worried that Lin You would control public opinion, brainwash the people, and control the election."
Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, the two parties in America are indeed fully wary of Yunmeng's influence on public opinion.
Specifically, what happens on their home country's network and in the virtual world will be demoted, restricted, or even banned.
Many times when netizens want to communicate openly, they can only use symbols, lingo, substitute words, etc. This obviously seriously affects the efficiency of communication, and information can only be obtained by actively looking for it.
But people who don't know, of course, will not have the idea of "finding it", and will naturally be isolated from this information.
Therefore, even though the number of mirages in America has exceeded ten million, there is still a thin "net" between the virtual world and the real network, blocking the transmission of information.
The result is that the president, who has obtained the most comprehensive information, subconsciously believes that the whole country should know about the "mecha" thing.
But in fact, more than half of the citizens were completely confused. They still searched for what a "mecha" was after seeing this message from the president, and learned a lot of things that they had no idea about before...
It’s more fun here in Daxia.
After seeing this news, everyone’s faces were filled with questions——
"What are you talking about? Mecha!?"
"Are you crazy? Lin You hasn't even built it yet, and you want to build it first?"
"Wait a minute! They won't build mechas for no reason! Do you still remember the blueprints that Lin You accidentally leaked before? Do they think Lin You is building them, so they want to build them too?"
"Then they are so anxious to build it. Did they get some key information to confirm that Lin You is indeed building it?"
"It's very possible!"
"Fuck, if that's true, with Lin You's efficiency, we'll be able to see mechas in reality this year, right?"
"The situation has become smaller! What this year, I will see it next week!"
…
After being briefly confused, Daxia netizens were so excited that they wanted to open the champagne on the spot.
While netizens around the world were talking about it, media from various countries also immediately forwarded, followed up, and reported on it.
Some discuss reasons and summarize information.
Some analyze the cost of mecha construction, what technology is required, and what application scenarios this thing has.
Some have brought in military commentators to seriously analyze that this "large humanoid combat mecha" is not practical enough.
The whole world is in a state of excitement.
Not only the media and netizens were surprised, but even official institutions in many countries were also a little surprised.
Because the current mainstream discourse in the world is "peace", no country will say in a big way that it will "invest large sums of money in researching a powerful war machine."
This is not only "politically incorrect", it will indeed bring about diplomatic problems and governance risks, and its influence will far exceed Mr. President's expectations.
This is a real "surprise for friendly countries"!
As a result, less than five minutes passed before Mr. President took the initiative to delete this post.
But it's too late.
With his influence, mainstream media around the world will continue to discuss this topic for at least the next week, and even his subsequent deletion will be analyzed over and over again for his intentions.
This matter won't be finished in a while!
In the end, when it came down to the whole thing, the most confused person was one person——
He Peng.
After watching the video posted by Lin You, he made a note in his memo, planning to take a look at the control system of his robotic arm the next time he picks Lin You up to see the progress of the mecha.
If it is similar to the one used in the research institute, then of course there is no need to say more. If it is more advanced, then find a few experts to communicate and ask for advice.
After that, he called the director of the machinery factory to follow up on the construction progress of the mecha.
According to the factory director, the three detachable and assembled arms and two legs of the mecha are the first to be produced. Currently, the two legs and one arm have been assembled. The components of the torso are still in intensive production, and the construction period will definitely not be delayed.
.
The assembly process is also carried out under the cover of a completely enclosed rainproof cloth. Confidentiality measures are always kept in mind, and there will definitely be no mistakes.
He Peng nodded with satisfaction, expressing his recognition and gratitude to the factory director for his work.
But just after hanging up the phone, he saw three missed calls from his superiors, and before he could call back, his phone vibrated again.
——The leader made the fourth call.
He quickly picked up: "Hello?"
"Is the mecha Lin You is building a real mecha?" The leader went straight to the point, not caring about small talk at all.
"ah?"
"I mean, does it have actual combat value?"
He Peng still didn't know what happened, so he replied cautiously: "It can't be said that it didn't happen at all..."
"What do you mean?" The leader's voice instantly became serious.
As a result, He Peng's words became more cautious: "Just...if both sides run out of artillery shells, they can still be of some value..."
"..." On the other end of the phone, the leader fell into silence.
He Peng added: "Also, a 24-meter-tall large mecha standing on the battlefield looks quite intimidating. If it is not blown up, it should also have a considerable boost to the morale of the soldiers...
"
"Okay." The leader interrupted his nonsense, and then asked with deep confusion, "Then why did the president of America say in such a big way that they also want to build mechas?"
"ah??"
Now it was He Peng's turn to be stunned, "They also want to build mechas?"
"Yes, the president personally announced it just now. Do you have any idea?"
"..."
He Peng fell into deep thought.
Lin You and President America, one is one of the smartest people in the world, and the other is one of the leaders of the three major political groups in the world, but now they want to build mechas at the same time...
Why does this sound so wrong?
Yesterday I was ready to rest very early, but unfortunately, it suddenly started raining heavily at night, and the awning outside my bedroom window was made of metal. The dense rainwater hitting the metal awning made a loud sound, banging and banging all night long, almost
Didn't sleep much...
