I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

A cross-species language translator is a huge technological innovation, and it's perfectly reasonable for the bald eagle to make a big deal out of this research achievement from Harvard University.

Moreover, the top brass of the United States unanimously believed that no other country had such scientific research achievements, and this was their best opportunity to prove that they were still the world's leading technological power.

The U.S. government paid for a technology launch event for the Harvard team, where team leader Larry Houston personally introduced the invention.

Furthermore, to enhance its influence, the press conference was also broadcast live on multiple platforms, including TikTok.

Larry Houston said, "We spent 25 years tracking and observing over a million different breeds of dogs, collecting their barks and corresponding actions, and then conducting precise and comprehensive analysis to finally create this dog language translator. Now I'll demonstrate it to you."

The team members brought several dogs of different breeds onto the stage. Larry Houston placed a dog language translator in front of the dogs and then used intimidation and food incentives to induce the dogs to bark. At this point, the translator would translate what the dogs were trying to say.

"Did you all see that? This Labrador wants to eat dog food. Let's give it some and see," Larry Houston said with a smile.

The assistant placed some dog food in front of the Labrador, and it immediately lowered its head and started eating.

Larry Houston then tested the barks of other dog breeds. Regardless of whether the translation was accurate, as long as a dog barked, the translator would display a message explaining what the bark meant.

At this moment, the comments section opened.

"Oh my god! This is amazing! I need this, how can I buy it?"

"As expected of your Eagle Father, your scientific research capabilities are truly impressive. We, the South Korean nation, have always been loyal to you, so you must share these scientific research achievements with us."

"As a member of the Bald Eagle, I am extremely proud. I am proud of our great scientific researchers. No one can challenge our position as number one in the world, not even Yang Chen!"

……

The government demanded that media outlets such as the Luoshanji Times extensively report on this scientific achievement and spend money on marketing it worldwide.

Soon, the news that "Harvard University has invented a dog language translator" became a global sensation, with mainstream media and online platforms around the world reporting on it extensively.

From the perspective of the Dragon Kingdom.

Netizens actively left comments in the comment section of the related news.

"That's what it means to be far ahead! Being far ahead isn't just about saying it; the key is to actually have the ability."

"As expected of the country with the strongest scientific research capabilities in the world, it always manages to surprise people. It's not so clever to do better than existing technology; it's clever to create something that no one else can do."

"So many 'second dogs' here? Look how excited you are, as if you're afraid people won't know you're Western-worshipping dogs, right?"

"There are too many traitors in the comments section. I suggest the cyber police investigate their backgrounds; they'll definitely find something."

"Some people are really funny. Is it so hard to admit that someone is excellent? Why don't you get Yang Chen to produce such innovative scientific research results? Or why don't you get Long Wei to make such an invention? All you can do is talk the talk, right?"

"No, let's not even talk about whether Yang Chen and Long Wei can come up with such an invention. Even if they can't, what good would it do you if your Eagle Daddy did? Would your Eagle Daddy give you money or food? Look at how excited you all are."

……

The Bald Eagles are so confident in this dog language translator that they've started auctioning off agency rights worldwide.

Larry Houston's team, in conjunction with Harvard University and the U.S. Department of Commerce, sent out invitations to auction off agency rights worldwide. Only the company that wins the auction for the corresponding regional agency rights is qualified to sell the product; other companies and individuals are prohibited from selling the product in any form.

At the same time, they also announced the starting bid prices for agency rights in various countries and regions.

Among them, the starting bid for the agency rights in the Dragon Kingdom region was the highest, reaching 1 billion Eagle Coins, while the starting bid for agency rights in other countries and regions was only 100 million Eagle Coins, and that was in the developed Western Europe region. The starting bid for the agency rights in the Bald Eagle's home country was only 10 million Eagle Coins.

Although everyone knows that the starting price does not represent the final transaction price, such a significant price difference is clearly intended to annoy people.

Sure enough, Chinese netizens were furious after seeing this and left messages boycotting the product. However, these were only a minority of people. Most people felt there was no problem and were waiting for the product to come to the Chinese market so that they could better understand their pet dogs' feelings.

"Isn't this blatant discrimination against us? Anyone who buys from us is a traitor!"

"Can some people please stop being so insecure and sensitive? It's their product, they can price it however they want. If you can accept it, buy it; if you can't, don't buy it. Why are you making baseless accusations?"

"That's how diodes are; they see things in black and white, and they can't always face the excellence of others. Let me tell you people, you don't represent everyone. When the product goes on sale, I'll be the first to rush to buy it."

"Domestic distributors, don't be scared off by this starting price. With so many of us owning dogs, are you worried about not making money? Bid boldly, and dog lovers across the country will foot the bill for you."

……

Netizens with strong national pride could not tolerate such blatant discrimination, and they flocked to Yang Chen's Weibo comment section to leave petitions.

“Boss Yang, the Eagles are discriminating against us. They come up with a dog language translator and show off. You should quickly develop a similar product to fight back.”

"I don't know what others think, but I can't stand their blatant discrimination against us. Boss Yang, let's take them down!"

"I do need a dog language translator, but I want to buy a product developed by a domestic company. I don't want to give money to the bald eagle. Mr. Yang, it's up to you. Don't let everyone down."

"Haha... I'm dying of laughter! You guys treat Yang Chen like a god? You think he can make anything you want? The Harvard team spent 25 years tracking and investigating millions of dogs to collect enough data to analyze the meaning of dog barks and behaviors. And Yang Chen just makes it up like that?"

……

Bald Eagles' side.

The top brass of the Bald Eagle were holding an informal internal meeting. The leader asked, "So, how many companies and investors have accepted the auction invitation?"

Larry Houston, head of the Harvard team, replied, "We have received confirmation letters from a total of 765 companies and individuals in more than 100 countries around the world. There are 100 companies from China that have applied. We've got them all lined up this time. We'll earn more than 30 billion Eagle Dollars just from the agency fees."

"Haha..." The whole audience burst into laughter.

Commerce Minister Chrisson said with a smile, "How much money we made this time isn't the point. The point is that we finally turned the tables. We've been letting Yang Chen gloat, making it seem like we're no longer the most technologically advanced country."

Hussein Marcel, head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said excitedly, "Five years! Five years! Do you know how I've spent these five years? Do you know how I felt every time Yang Chen developed a new technology, but we were slow to respond? I've waited so long not to prove how great I am, but to let everyone know that we are the most technologically advanced country, and we must take back everything we've lost!"

The leader immediately said, "Hussein, calm down, calm down. This is just a demonstration of our true strength, there's no need to get so worked up. However, I support everyone's idea, we must publicize this well and let the whole world know who the leader in technology is."

The propaganda department immediately carried out the order and notified major media outlets to exaggerate that more than 100 companies in Longguo were preparing to bid for the Longguo regional agency rights.

When Yang Chen arrived at work in the morning, he saw online news and hundreds of thousands of comments from netizens.

He then called Huang Wei, the president of Sihai Intelligent.

"Xiao Wei, how's our sound wave converter coming along?" Yang Chen asked.

Huang Wei immediately replied, "The product has been ready for a while, but we need to collect enough experimental data. We are still enriching the experimental database, and it is expected to be officially launched in about half a month."

The sound wave conversion technology rewarded by the system converts the sound waves emitted by living beings into human language. It can convert not only common animals such as dogs and cats, but also snakes, cicadas, and any living being that can make sounds.

This means that the research and development team needs to collect the sounds of various organisms for experimental analysis and to verify the accuracy of the converter, so they will definitely need a lot of time.

Yang Chen replied, "Okay! No rush, we must make sure everything is safe before we go public."

“I just saw the news that Harvard has released a dog bark translator ahead of time. Should we announce in advance that we have an even more powerful product that will be launched soon?” Huang Wei asked.

If it weren't announced in advance, many companies and investors in China would definitely bid high prices for the Harvard team's dog-barking translator. Wouldn't that be giving them money for nothing?

Therefore, Yang Chen instructed Huang Wei to immediately announce the official launch of the sound wave translator, so that companies and investors in China would remain calm and not bid for it, thus preventing them from giving money to the Harvard team.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Wei immediately ordered her assistant to issue a public announcement.

Sihai Smart has released a stamped announcement on its Weibo, Douyin, TikTok and other platform accounts.

"We are delighted to share some good news with you all. Under the leadership of Mr. Yang Chen, the Sihai Intelligent Research Team has developed a sound wave converter. The sounds emitted by any living being that can make sounds can be translated into Chinese, and then into hundreds of major languages ​​around the world. With it, you can understand what your dog's different barks are trying to express, you can understand what cicadas are chirping, and you can understand what birds are saying. The bulk production is ready and it can be officially launched at any time."

Once this announcement was released, netizens from various countries flocked to see what was going on.

Japanese netizens: What?! It can translate the sounds of all living things? Is that powerful? Is this a technological invention that humans could create?

A South Korean netizen commented: "Anyone who believes this will have it in their lifetime. This isn't the kind of technological invention a civilization of our dimension should have. He's clearly trying to sabotage the Harvard University auction with such a childish method."

A netizen named "White-headed Eagle" commented: "To be honest, Yang Chen's actions are incredibly unethical. I used to think he was humanity's hope, but now I think he's a sore loser. Does he think everyone else is a fool who can be easily fooled?"
A French netizen commented: "Yang Chen is too concerned about his reputation. Netizens in China are leaving messages asking him to create similar products. In order to maintain his image as a technological genius and the hope of humanity, he has to lie and deceive people."

A German netizen commented: "If Yang Chen wants to prove he's really developed such a product, then he should arrange a competition with the Harvard team at a third-party venue, letting the world's media witness it. In Chinese terms, let's put it to the test."

In response to the announcement issued by Sihai Intelligent, Bald Eagle held another meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The head of the household asked, "Do you really think Yang Chen has created something so amazing? He claims it can convert the sounds emitted by all living beings; it's unbelievable."

Larry Houston, the head of the Harvard team, immediately stated unequivocally, "Absolutely impossible! How could there be a technological invention that can translate the meaning of biological messages by analyzing sound waves? This is not something that our current civilization should possess. I am 100% certain that he is bluffing and deliberately sabotaging our auction."

The head of the Ministry of Science and Technology said, "I think so too, but isn't he afraid that people will force him to hand over the product? If he has nothing to hand over then, how will he explain it to the people of the world?"

At this point, Commerce Department official Chrisson said, "Have you forgotten how good he is at eavesdropping and monitoring others? His damn mosquitoes are everywhere; he might be planning to steal the Harvard team's technological achievements and create their own products."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was indeed a possibility.

Larry Houston exclaimed excitedly, "Then we won't give him the chance. We'll immediately and publicly invite him to host a global launch event with us. That way, he won't have a chance to fake it!"

“Yes, that’s a good idea. We’ll choose a third-party country to host this press conference and verify in front of journalists from all over the world who has the real technology and who is lying!” said Commerce Minister Krissen.

Everyone agrees; now we're just waiting for the head of the household to make the final decision.

The leader nodded and said, "Since everyone wants to do it this way, then let's do it this way. If he doesn't dare accept our invitation, the whole world will know what's going on. If he dares to accept our invitation, let's see what he has to offer to compete with us!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed.

Harvard team leader Larry Houston added, "If he dares to compete against us, I guarantee I'll make sure he can't back down. I guarantee this time we'll ruin all the honors he's accumulated."

So, at the Bald Eagle's routine meeting the next day, the spokesperson brought up the matter.

Reporter Luo Shanji: What is your opinion on the announcement issued by Yang Chen's company that they have developed a machine that can convert biological sounds into human language? Do you think it's possible?

The spokesperson immediately smiled and said, “From the perspective of humanity’s future development, I certainly hope their announcement is true. But reason tells me I can’t act on emotion. From a scientific point of view, the kind of technology they’re talking about shouldn’t be something humanity should have, so I find it hard to believe their propaganda. However, this is just my opinion and cannot be used as evidence to prove their claims. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, we invite Mr. Yang Chen and the Harvard team to hold a press conference in a third-party country to compete and see who is telling the truth and who is lying. I know that the Sand Kingdom and Yang Chen have a friendly relationship. If Mr. Yang Chen is willing, we can hold this competition press conference in the Sand Kingdom. We hope that reporters from the Dragon Kingdom will convey our invitation, and we also hope that reporters from the Sand Kingdom will speak to your government on our behalf. In the Dragon Kingdom’s language, we’ll see what they’re made of once we put them to the test. We look forward to Mr. Yang Chen and the Sand Kingdom’s government’s response.”

Following the press conference, Harvard University and the Larry Houston team issued a challenge.

The message is simple: We hope to have the opportunity to compete with Mr. Yang Chen on the same stage, to let the world see the capabilities of our product, and to demonstrate just how powerful a high-dimensional product capable of translating the sounds of all living beings truly is. We look forward to Mr. Yang Chen's response. (End of Chapter)
