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

The Harvard University team has publicly issued a challenge, so Yang Chen naturally won't let them down.

Yang Chen ordered Sihai Intelligence to immediately issue a public announcement accepting the challenge from the Harvard University team and suggested choosing the Sand Kingdom as the third party.

Sihai Intelligent immediately issued an announcement.

"Our company accepts the invitation from Larry Houston's team at Harvard University and their suggestion to hold this competition in the Sand Country. We also welcome media from all over the world to witness the event, and the entire competition will be broadcast to netizens worldwide through platforms such as TikTok. If Larry Houston's team at Harvard University is willing to accept this, please reply publicly. We will contact the Sand Country side to make preparations, and then both sides will travel there to hold this competition."

Netizens flocked to leave comments.

"Mr. Yang accepted the challenge, which proves that they have really developed such an amazing sound wave converter. Those who questioned Mr. Yang before can apologize now."

“I’ve said it before: with Mr. Yang’s current status and wealth, he simply cannot lie. No matter how incredible the technology is, if he says it exists, it must exist.”

"It's a real tragedy for the Harvard team. They finally produced a groundbreaking research result, only to find it was a low-end version of Professor Yang's work. The US spent so much on publicity, only to end up with nothing. What a tragedy!"

"The eagles were trying to deliberately annoy us by setting a starting bid of 10 billion eagle coins specifically for us. Now they won't get a single penny. They wasted 25 years, and in the end, it's all worthless. What a tragedy!"

……

Yang Chen's willingness to accept the challenge was an outcome that neither the Eagle Family's top management nor the Harvard team had anticipated.

They thought Yang Chen was just bluffing, and that he would definitely back down if they challenged him to a duel.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chen accepted the challenge. Does that mean that Yang Chen really has such a miraculous product?

Otherwise, how could he dare to accept the challenge?

And so, they held another meeting to discuss it.

The head of the household asked, "What do you think? Do they really have such a miraculous thing?"

Larry Houston, head of the Harvard team, immediately said, "I don't believe they could create something so amazing. I'm more inclined to believe they stole our technology using devices like mosquitoes, and then they'll create a copy of us to compete with us."

Science and Technology Ministry head Hussein Marcel asked, "So, do you have a way to expose them?"

Larry Houston immediately nodded and said, "Of course! We can expose them as long as they release the underlying code and experimental data."

Hussein Marcel smiled and nodded, then said loudly, "Then there's nothing for everyone to worry about. We're guaranteed to win. As long as it's proven that Yang Chen stole the Harvard team's research results, we'll ruin his reputation."

Everyone nodded and smiled with ease.

The leader said, "Then let's do it this way. We'll accept their suggestion immediately and have a global technology leadership battle with them in the Sand Kingdom! This time, we not only want to win, but we want to win spectacularly, and we want to ruin Yang Chen's reputation and make him disappear from people's sight forever."

"Haha..." The whole audience burst into laughter, as if they felt they had already won.

Harvard University and Larry Houston's team jointly issued a statement, accepting the suggestion of Sihai Intelligence, to hold a competition in the Sand Kingdom to prove to the world whose scientific research results are more advanced.

The Sand Kingdom was overjoyed, as the entire world's attention was now focused on them.

The Crown Prince immediately called Yang Chen and Harvard University to confirm that the highly anticipated competition would be held at the Leyard Convention Center on March 30.

Subsequently, the Sand Kingdom officially released an announcement.

“感谢杨辰先生和哈佛大学拉里休斯顿团队对我们的信任，我们一定好好筹备这场举世瞩目的大会。我们决定于3月30日上午9点30分开始这场PK盛会。从现在开始接受各国媒体申请采访资格，并且向各国发放一定量的入场券。我们3月30日不见不散！”

The announcement from the Sand Kingdom quickly became a global trending topic. This was a grand contest to prove whether Earth had entered a more advanced civilization, so naturally, the number of people paying attention to it was explosive.

Bald Eagle Netizen: Oh my god! I really didn't expect Yang Chen to dare to accept the challenge. Did he really develop a technological achievement that doesn't belong to Earth's civilization?

Japanese netizens commented: Yang Chen is simply too amazing. Does this mean we can use his technology to translate sound waves from the universe? We can communicate with extraterrestrial civilizations now!

A South Korean netizen commented: "I'm still skeptical because this technology is just too incredible; it's impossible for humans to have researched it. If the PK tournament on the 30th proves Yang Chen wasn't lying, then I'll apologize to him and stop criticizing him from now on."

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "I'm so happy! Mr. Yang Chen chose us as a third party to host this competition, which shows that he considers us trustworthy partners. To witness my idol pushing human technology to a higher level is the greatest honor of my life."

A German netizen commented: "How can I get tickets? I really want to go see it in person. If Yang Chen really comes up with something that amazing, I'll buy some right there."

A netizen from India commented: "I have my doubts. As the strongest superpower in Asia and the third strongest in the world, we haven't even developed such technology. How could Yang Chen possibly have? I'm more inclined to believe that Yang Chen is only accepting the challenge to maintain his personal image. He'll definitely find an excuse not to participate in the competition later. Just you wait, I'm absolutely right."

Now that this competition has been confirmed, the relevant departments in the Dragon Kingdom also need to take note.

Sure enough, Zheng Kaiyang, a representative from the Ministry of Commerce, called Yang Chen.

"Chairman Yang, the boss asked me to check if you're okay with competing with Harvard, right?"

"Of course, no problem. Their skills are no match for mine. I'm just using them to generate buzz for me, saving me a fortune in advertising fees. Theirs can only translate dog barks, and even that's inaccurate. Mine can translate the sound waves emitted by all living things. How can they compare to me?"

"Haha... I understand! With Chairman Yang's words, I feel much more at ease. The leadership said that once your product is on the market, we will equip the military with it, and also provide it to students across the country. If Chairman Yang is confident in himself, we can start production now. Once you win the competition, we will immediately announce our purchase."

"Then I must be confident! I'll have them prepare the goods right now, so that our soldiers can use them as soon as possible, and then the children can use them too."

"Ha ha……"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen sent a message to Huang Wei, the president of Sihai Intelligent.

"We've stocked up on a large quantity of acoustic wave converters. Once we win the competition, the military and students across the country will be equipped with them."

Huang Wei replied to the message very quickly.

"Received! Prepare the goods immediately!"

The team is going to the Sand Kingdom to participate in the PK tournament, and their safety must be absolutely guaranteed.

Yang Chen ordered the crew to conduct a thorough inspection of his private Airbus A319, so that his team and security personnel could travel to Leyard on that plane. Then, Yang Chen called Guo Hu, the president of Xingchen Security Group.

"Mr. Guo, inform Leyard to take security measures to ensure the safety of the Sihai Intelligence team after they arrive. Tell them that if even one member of the Sihai Intelligence team is harmed, they will all be held accountable."

"Understood! Don't worry, Chairman Yang, I will definitely instruct them to do a good job in security to ensure that the engineers go there safely and come back safely."

"Yes. If you find danger, don't hesitate to take it out, no matter how serious the consequences. I'll handle the communication afterwards. Don't be timid just because it's another country. Be decisive when it's time to act. If there's even the slightest hesitation, I will hold them accountable afterwards."

"Understood! I will accurately convey Chairman Yang's message to the brothers over there."

……

Around noon on March 28, Crown Prince Salman of the Sand Kingdom called Yang Chen.

"Mr. Yang, everything is ready on our side. Your team can come over now. All security work will be handled by Xingchen Security. You can rest assured."

"Haha... Thank you very much, Your Highness. You've worked hard."

"Haha... It's no trouble at all. I also want to thank Mr. Yang for trusting us so much and giving us this opportunity to be in the spotlight all over the world. Are you coming this time? If you are, I will arrange to spend a few days with you right away."

Too many people want Yang Chen dead. If he dares to go abroad, special agents and mercenary assassins from various countries will definitely act simultaneously. He may not necessarily die, but dealing with so many dangers will be very troublesome.

Therefore, to avoid these dangers, he will never leave the Dragon Kingdom in his lifetime.

"Thank you for the invitation, Crown Prince, but I really can't travel far right now. We'll soon have some groundbreaking new technology that will shock the world, and I need to focus all my energy on that. When I have time, I'll definitely visit Leyard and admire the splendor of the first cyber city we've built on Earth," Yang Chen said with a smile.

Salman said excitedly, "Mr. Yang is working on another new technology! I admire you! But business is important, so I'll come over when Mr. Yang has time. That's settled then, I won't bother Mr. Yang any longer. I wish Mr. Yang's team great success, and we will definitely take concrete actions to support Mr. Yang."

"Haha... Alright! Then I'll thank Your Highness in advance. I'll hang up now," Yang Chen said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen immediately notified the Sihai Intelligent team to prepare to depart for Leyard.

Meanwhile, the Harvard team has already taken a private jet to Leeds.

At 9:00 AM local time on March 30th, Leyard's accounts on platforms such as Douyin and TikTok started live streaming.

With nothing else to do, Yang Chen came to the live broadcast room to work with Huang Wei, the president of Sihai Intelligent, to provide commentary for the live broadcast.

Yang Chen's personal appearance naturally attracted a large number of viewers to the live stream.

The number of viewers in Douyin's live streaming rooms has quickly exceeded 10 million, and the number of viewers in TikTok's live streaming rooms has also exceeded 8 million, and is rapidly increasing towards 10 million.

Before the PK competition started, Yang Chen selected some questions from the live chat to answer.

For example, some viewers asked in the live chat whether Yang Chen had really created such a magical sound wave converter or was just playing mind games.

Yang Chen laughed and replied, "Asking me like that is an insult. What do I need psychological warfare for? I always fight with real skills, okay? Only trash with no strength tries to deceive people with psychological warfare."

For example, some viewers asked in the live chat how Yang Chen came up with such an amazing thing.

Yang Chen replied, "That's my trade secret. In short, all my research results come from legitimate channels. If there were any doubts, after so many years, negative news should have been exposed long ago. You might find it amazing, but I don't find it amazing at all. With trillions of yuan invested in research and development every year, it's only natural that my research team would produce any inventions."

Some of the questions asked in the live chat were quite insightful.

"The whole world knows that the Bald Eagle has gone to great lengths to promote the Harvard team's research results in order to reshape its image as a leader in science and technology. If your team defeats the Harvard team, and the Bald Eagle becomes enraged, aren't you afraid of being in danger?"

Yang Chen replied with a smile, "To be honest, I currently possess evidence that foreigners want to assassinate me. I have evidence from all the major countries in the world, and I know exactly who initiated the assassination attempt, and who supports and opposes it. Frankly, I'm not afraid at all. If they dare to actually carry out their assassination plan, I guarantee their entire families will be wiped out that very night. I'm not joking. Killing me is just a thought; I can turn a blind eye. But killing me is an actual action, and I will absolutely not leave them any way out. So, you can ask the US if they dare to put me in danger. I'll decide what to do based on their answer."

This isn't Yang Chen showing off; the mosquitoes and other miniature robots he's deployed worldwide have long been monitoring foreigners thoroughly.

He knew perfectly well which countries had discussed assassinating him, who opposed it, and who supported it.

He did not pay special attention to those who opposed his assassination.

Those who supported his assassination attempt had their homes covered in surveillance cameras, including on their clothes, vehicles, computers, and cell phones.

If any of these people dared to actually plan to assassinate Yang Chen, they would be blown to bits in the next second.

At this moment, the high-ranking officials from various countries who were watching the live broadcast all looked very grim, especially the foreigners who had proposed and supported the assassination of Yang Chen, whose faces were now even paler.

At 9:30 AM, the competition between Sihai Intelligence and the Harvard team officially began.

Both teams briefly introduced their products, and then various types of dogs prepared by the Sand Kingdom were brought onto the stage and lined up to wait for testing.

Larry Houston, the head of the Harvard team, approached a Teddy bear with a bark converter, while Zhang Xin, the head of the Sihai Intelligent team, also approached the Teddy bear with a sound wave converter. Subsequently, the staff used dog food to induce the Teddy bear to bark.

At this point, the Harvard team's dog bark translator displayed the translation results.

"I want to eat dog food, give it to me right now!"

However, the translation result from Sihai Intelligent's acoustic wave converter was the opposite.

"Take it away, take it away, I don't like beef-flavored dog food, I want salmon-flavored dog food."

The audience at the scene and those watching the live stream were stunned. The two sides had given different translations from the very beginning. Was the outcome going to be decided so quickly?

Larry Houston's lips curled into a smile as he thought, "They really did steal our technology, and not even quite mastered it. Haha..."

Meanwhile, Zhang Xin, the head of Sihai Intelligent, thought to himself, "What the hell? They even translated something so simple wrong. And they have the nerve to promote themselves for having spent 25 years tracking millions of dogs to create such a useless toy?" (End of Chapter)
