On the stage.

Tian Jun stood beside Tie Dan.

There was no unnecessary build-up.

He raised his hand to signal that he would continue the demonstration.

Iron Egg pressed down slightly with its four mechanical legs and took its first step in place.

The pace was not fast, but each step was taken with great steadiness.

The metal feet landed on the stage floor with a dull, rhythmic sound.

Boom, boom, boom...

It walks from the center of the stage to the left edge, automatically senses the boundary and stops, then its head sensor turns slightly left and right to plan a new route before turning around and continuing.

Some people in the audience unconsciously held their breath.

It's not because the move is particularly cool, but because it's so stable.

The center of gravity is adjusted in milliseconds for each step, and the extremely light mechanical sound of the joint motor is even and smooth, like a real dog patrolling its territory.

Tian Jun raised his hand and gestured to the staff to place several uneven mats on the stage. Tie Dan stepped on them without hesitation.

The moment the front leg steps onto the mat, the center of gravity shifts instantly.

Its hind legs automatically adjusted their bending angle, and its entire body pressed down slightly.

Like a hunting dog instinctively adjusting its posture when crossing an obstacle.

Step over the mat, land, and continue forward.

The entire process was smooth without any interruptions.

The comments section started to change.

The mocking comments that had been flooding the live stream screen completely disappeared.

The scrolling text all changed direction.

"Holy crap, this thing can really adjust its center of gravity on its own?"

"Outrageous, they hid it way too well."

"To those who previously joined the bandwagon in criticizing rice, I apologize first."

"So the entire internet has been manipulated and used as a tool."

"With this level of algorithm, who would believe it's just rebranding?"

The audience stared intently at the mechanical figure on stage.

No one interrupted.

Everyone is still processing the shock they are experiencing.

Tian Jun and the others fell silent and slowly began to speak.

The sound was clearly transmitted through the speakers to every corner of the venue.

"Many people say that rice doesn't have its own technology and only knows how to rebrand and market."

A few voices murmured in agreement from the audience, but they quickly faded away.

"I want to tell everyone: a team that can develop general-purpose robot dynamic algorithms cannot be without the ability to develop its own chips."

The entire venue fell silent for a moment.

"The real-time dynamics, AI posture algorithms, and closed-loop control of robots are a level more difficult than those of mobile phone chips."

A single sentence was uttered.

The logical closed loop is directly locked.

The entire day was filled with smear articles, instantly shattering the core arguments.

The claims that rice lacks core technology, is a scam based on hasty self-development, and that assembly plants are just trying to attract attention are all unfounded.

In the front row of the media area, a burst of rapid keyboard typing erupted.

All the articles that the reporters had prepared in advance were rendered useless.

On the laptop screen, the original title was glaringly obvious.

Rice launch event downplayed key issues; self-developed technology backfired.

My fingers flew across the keyboard, deleting text and rewriting a brand new headline.

"Rice Conceals Hardcore Self-Developed Technology! China's First Quadruped Robot Unveiled"

"The entire internet was predicting the demise of rice, but a robotic dog silently refuted them."

Many reporters frowned.

During the day, people followed the trend of the entire internet to criticize rice, but now all their predictions have been overturned.

My mentality completely collapsed, and I was swayed by the scenes on the scene, constantly shifting my stance.

Digital bloggers who were waiting and watching live streams on various platforms were simultaneously thrown into chaos.

Top bloggers who specialize in producing content that criticizes rice and predicts that press conferences will fail during the day.

I frantically opened the backend.

They removed preview videos in bulk, deleted the accompanying text, and set all related posts to private.

The comment section was flooded with netizens.

The comments were uniformly filled with questions, arguments, and mockery of the blogger, who was stirring up trouble.

"You talked a good game during the day, so why are you deleting the videos now?"

"They were so eager to publish smear articles for money, but now they're playing dumb?"

"This is a major social disaster. Think twice before you speak in future evaluations."

The entire internet is flocking to watch this celebrity's embarrassing mishap, and the buzz continues to rise.

Rice backstage rest area.

A group of senior executives and R&D leaders gathered in front of the big screen to watch the live broadcast simultaneously.

Everyone knew Tie Dan's true skill level.

After extensive internal testing, all technical indicators are top-notch in the industry and are thoroughly familiar to us.

No one will be surprised by the robot dog's actions.

What truly shook them was something else.

The R&D vice president stared at the screen and spoke in a low voice.

"We all know that this prototype cannot be mass-produced."

"With costs remaining high and the supply chain completely underdeveloped, it cannot be used commercially or sold to the public."

The market manager nodded in agreement.

"When the proposal was first discussed, no one was optimistic about putting it on the agenda."

"It's unanimously agreed that this will only lead to netizens criticizing it as a way to change the subject."

The PR director sighed softly.

"Who would have thought that a laboratory sample with no commercial value would shatter the negative stereotypes that had been building up online all day?"

"They managed to turn our seemingly hopeless public opinion deadlock around."

In just a few words, everyone fully understood Zhang Yifan's previous suggestion.

We don't rely on new product sales to prove our strength.

Don't rely on listing parameters to deal with haters.

They did not issue a lengthy statement to clear their name.

We can directly utilize higher-level, core technologies to achieve a breakthrough.

The way these seasoned executives, who had been in the industry for over a decade, looked at the young man in the camera below the stage completely changed.

She was only eighteen or nineteen years old.

His insight into the overall public opinion on the internet and his strategic vision for the big picture far surpassed those of everyone present.

Rossi sat in the Chrysanthemum War Room, while everyone else looked at each other in bewilderment.

The public opinion curve reversed abruptly before his eyes, and the online troll teams frantically sent him messages asking what to do, but he didn't reply to a single word.

All the smear campaigns, thousands of press releases, and online attacks he spent millions of dollars on are now rendered useless.

How did a single robot dog manage to turn the tide?

He couldn't figure it out.

He thought that Tian Jun had come up with a desperate tactic to turn the tide.

Little did they know that the mastermind behind it all was that young man who sat in the high-level seats and never stood up once from beginning to end.

His face was ashen, and he didn't say a word.

No one dared to speak again.

The only sound in the operations room was the breathing of the crew.

Tian Jun stood on the stage, and Tie Dan stood quietly beside him.

He looked at the media reporters below the stage, who were still processing this wave of information, and finally spoke to conclude:

"Iron Egg is just a public trial of the rice's self-developed technology."

The real core strength of our rice comes from our self-developed chip technology and accumulated underlying algorithms.

Applause erupted from the audience, not loud, but very frequent.

Zhang Yifan sat quietly in his seat, his expression calm and undisturbed.

Shen Zhiyi, who was beside him, turned her head to look at him but did not make a sound to disturb him.

All the media present and hundreds of millions of online viewers believed that today's turnaround was entirely due to Tian Jun's decision.

No one knew that this unassuming young man was the sole mastermind behind breaking through the deadlock in public opinion tonight.

Chrysanthemum War Room, a thousand miles away.

Rossi remains trapped in the fog.

He lost this massive propaganda war and didn't even know who his real opponent was.

The massive smear campaign has now come to a complete end.

The battle of public opinion has been decided.

However, the competition in core technologies such as chips and underlying algorithms has only just begun.
