Chapter 88 Twelve Academicians Stand Support

Mechanical and electronic engineering! Special material fabrication! Mechanical structure design…

Twelve renowned academicians voiced their support for Jing Mingqiu, announcing their participation in the grading committee he led, solidifying his status as a teenage prodigy.

Following this, hundreds of live streams suddenly appeared on the homepage, with professors and lecturers from prestigious universities simultaneously launching courses, providing word-for-word analysis and explanations of the exam paper authored by Jing Mingqiu.

Although most people couldn't understand their lectures, witnessing so many professors from well-known universities earnestly teaching dispelled the last remnants of doubt in people's minds.

At this moment, Jing Mingqiu's fame was at its peak, unparalleled.

Those specially arranged by Feng Weiguo continued their efforts, systematically listing the despicable actions of Western cyber armies and explicitly naming famous public intellectuals like Ai Dajian and Chai Bijing.

Normally, these individuals, shielded by public opinion and brandishing the banner of freedom of speech, were beyond the state's direct intervention.

Now was the perfect time for them to experience the consequences of their own actions, to be engulfed in the vast ocean of the people's war.

Facing the anger of tens of millions of netizens, these influencers, who boasted over a hundred million followers, were powerless to resist. Realizing they couldn't control the situation, they decisively locked their accounts, prohibiting anyone from posting.

Trying to escape? It wouldn't be that easy.

While their accounts could be locked, platforms like Tieba, Chaohua, and XiaohBook remained accessible.

The enraged netizens, like a surging tide, swept through these platforms. When the storm passed, they would emerge as mere figureheads, stripped of their influence.

It wasn't just these public intellectuals and influencers; Feng Weiguo also targeted the high-level cyber army accounts. Through internet public opinion researchers, netizens were guided to systematically destroy these accounts.

High-level accounts were not cheap. Although the cyber soldiers themselves were unharmed, the combined loss of these accounts represented a significant sum. Those behind the cyber armies were severely hit this time, bleeding a substantial amount of resources.

These public intellectuals were like poisonous thorns embedded online, constantly instigating conflict and attracting hatred, both overtly and covertly.

With them neutralized, the online atmosphere should become less aggressive, and the overall internet environment considerably cleaner.

“Phew! Solved!”

Jing Mingqiu abruptly pushed away the overheating keyboard and glanced at the integrated computer host on the floor. Seeing it emitting black smoke, his heart suddenly leaped. He shouted, “Second, Third, quickly unplug the power! The computer is going to blow!”

Yun Pengtao and Tang Bei, who were sitting nearby and vociferously cursing, looked up at the call. They only then noticed the smell of burning and felt a jolt of fear. They rushed over, preparing to pull out the plug.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late. Accompanied by a series of dull explosions, the integrated host, which had been performing so mightily moments ago, had now completely transformed into a pile of indistinguishable black fragments, rapidly burning.

Xia Zhongtian, who had been squatting in the corner, reacted the fastest. He immediately dashed into the hallway, grabbed the fire extinguisher from the corner, pulled the safety pin, and pressed the trigger.

A large amount of white powder erupted, instantly suppressing the flames. Yun Pengtao followed closely, picking up another fire extinguisher and spraying furiously, completely extinguishing all remaining embers.

Tang Bei, holding the plug and covered in white dust, looked sheepishly at Jing Mingqiu. "Sorry, Boss, I was too slow!"

"It's alright, it's alright!" Jing Mingqiu waved his hand. "Overloaded by more than four thousand times, it's already exceeded my expectations to last this long. You guys go take a shower quickly. Ammonium phosphate is corrosive to the skin!"

After sending the three of them to wash, Jing Mingqiu walked to the computer case, flipped his wrist, and pulled a short rod from the mecha hidden in his sleeve. He poked through the ashes of the explosion and shook his head slightly.

"Infinite material stacking still has its limits. To elevate a computer's processing speed to the next level, a new material must be researched. Sigh, when will the power station be completed? I have a pile of tech points with nowhere to use them!"

As Jing Mingqiu sighed, the satellite phone on his bedside table suddenly rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Mingqiu! You did a fantastic job this time!" Feng Weiguo's excited voice came through the satellite phone. "We've seized the momentum and removed quite a few nails planted by foreign forces. They won't be able to cause trouble online for a while."

"However, Mingqiu," Feng Weiguo paused, "illegal intrusion into other people's computers is something the West is even better at. They have many top hackers. You must be careful in the future."

"There are always people better than you, and mountains beyond mountains. Never be too arrogant…"

Jing Mingqiu stretched, interrupting Feng Weiguo's lecture. "Principal, you misunderstand. I never do anything illegal or criminal. Where did I intrude into anyone's computer?"

"I was merely acting in the spirit of humanitarianism to help them fix the vulnerability that prevented the accurate display of IP addresses. What happened afterward has nothing to do with me. I was also quite surprised!"

"Hahahaha," Feng Weiguo laughed heartily, not exposing Jing Mingqiu's clumsy lie. Instead, he changed the subject. "I have full confidence in your actions. The child who is going to publish your prescription for you has arrived. Are you available to meet now?"

Jing Mingqiu blinked. "So soon? The senior leaders only just discussed this matter with me?"

"It's like this," Feng Weiguo explained briefly. "She was traveling nearby and, upon receiving notification, immediately changed her itinerary to come over."

Jing Mingqiu suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. Since she's in such a hurry, meeting her isn't impossible. Principal, you arrange the time and place. I have no classes today."

"This…"

Feng Weiguo pondered for a moment. "It's almost dinnertime. How about we have dinner together at six-thirty this afternoon at the Dongyang Grand Hotel? Mingqiu, what do you think?"

The Dongyang Grand Hotel was the only five-star hotel in Dongyang City. The treatment was top-notch, so Jing Mingqiu naturally had no objections.

Just as he was about to nod, he suddenly remembered that Mo Ruixue and the others hadn't eaten yet. He asked, "Principal, can we bring a few more people with us?"

Feng Weiguo readily agreed. "Of course! This is a private banquet; you can bring anyone you wish."

After hanging up the phone, Jing Mingqiu intended to inform Mo Ruixue and the others. He circled the oversized dormitory but couldn't find either of them.

Just as he was wondering, Tang Bei stepped forward to explain, "Boss, the wives said they don't understand computers and wouldn't be of much help here, so they went back to prepare dinner."

"This is a bit troublesome! I just mentioned wanting to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs made by Rou Rou, and now I'm suddenly saying we're eating out. Even though there's a valid reason, they'll definitely be a little upset after I wasted all that effort."

Just as Jing Mingqiu was racking his brain, Mo Ruixue suddenly called…
