Iron-Blooded Strength, Gathering at Kunlun Asking the Way!

No one expected Gao Yuan's speech to have such depth, directly hitting the core of the issue.

Although the content was a bit pessimistic and not as passionate and thought-provoking as Boss Ma's, this was precisely Gao Yuan's style: brutal and real.

"That was brilliantly said! If we just follow the enemy's rhythm, how can we achieve a breakthrough?"

"It's time to build Huaxia's own academic confidence! Kunlun Asking the Way must exist for this very reason!"

Gao Yuan observed the comments. The right to set the rules for the game wasn't something that could be achieved overnight; it required a long period of accumulation. If everyone could understand the meaning of his words today, Gao Yuan's objective would be met.

Facing hundreds of thousands of live viewers, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "The purpose of Kunlun Asking the Way is to pursue academic autonomy, to establish our own system outside of Western academic authority, rather than going further and further down a path predetermined by others."

"Very soon, the purely Chinese academic website, Kunlun Asking the Way, will be officially launched."

"At that time, you will see research papers on X Fiber. Your suggestions and corrections are welcome, and we also encourage enthusiastic submissions. For rules regarding submissions and peer review, please refer to the relevant pages."

"This live broadcast will now end. Thank you all for participating. If you have any questions, please leave a message on Kunlun Asking the Way."

"Goodbye."

As Gao Yuan said goodbye, Xu Qingzhou and Zhou Helin also cut off the live broadcast signal. Zhou Helin brought Gao Yuan a can of cola and repeatedly said, "Teacher, you've worked hard."

"How was the live broadcast? Did many people watch?" Gao Yuan asked Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou shrugged. "It was okay. The topic was a bit heavy. The peak viewership reached 900,000. Look at Li Jiaqi, Viya, and Lao Luo – their live streams get tens of millions of viewers, with sales in the hundreds of millions. You're far behind them; I wouldn't even dare greet you."

Gao Yuan felt dejected but helpless.

This was the reality today. Research was declining. Professor Yuan Lanfeng, who had been doing popular science for many years, was considered a celebrity in the scientific field. However, if he were to do a live broadcast, would he get 5,000 viewers?

His first live broadcast had a peak viewership of 900,000, which was already quite a good achievement.

"Teacher Gao, it's time. Kunlun Asking the Way is officially launching!" Just past noon, Zhou Helin sat in front of the computer and shouted excitedly.

Gao Yuan and Xu Qingzhou were both stunned and quickly ran over to watch.

"It's moving! The visitor log is updating!"

"There are ten visitors now!"

"One hundred visitors!"

"Over five hundred people!"

"Teacher Gao, they're downloading your paper!"

As Gao Yuan's loyal assistant, Zhou Helin was very excited, his eyes glued to the backend, reporting the latest situation to Gao Yuan and Xu Qingzhou.

Would Kunlun Asking the Way suddenly become popular and break a hundred million clicks instantly?

Of course not. This was a purely academic website, currently only covering the field of materials chemistry. If even an academic website could get over a hundred million clicks, then this world would have truly gone mad.

As the clock struck 12:10 PM, the Kunlun Asking the Way backend showed that there were 50,000 visitors online simultaneously.

"Amazing! Fifty thousand people, fifty thousand people logged in right at the start!"

"Hmm, much better than I predicted. I thought getting 200,000 visitors on the first day would be a success. I didn't expect 50,000 in just ten minutes. The goal of 200,000 for the whole day should be achievable."

"I wish all those people from the live stream would come to Kunlun Asking the Way."

"Don't overthink it. Those people were just there for the spectacle. The vast majority weren't here for the papers."

Gao Yuan and Xu Qingzhou discussed it. They felt the website was successful, but they were soon ruthlessly mocked by Cao Feiyu.

"Do you two really need to keep staring at the backend?" Cao Feiyu looked at his two good friends and shook his head. "With this much traffic, I even specially rented several large enterprise-grade servers from Alibaba, plus dual gigabit bandwidth."

"It's completely unnecessary. I'll go return the servers later to recoup some of the economic losses."

Gao Yuan's face turned slightly red as he tried to argue, "There are quite a lot of people, it's not that dismal."

Xu Qingzhou came to Gao Yuan's rescue. "You can't just look at the surface. Look at the paper download volume, it's soaring. I can't guarantee what happens in the general public, but within the professional circles of materials chemistry, this will absolutely cause a huge stir! The unique super honeycomb structure of X Fiber will occupy the forefront of industry research for the next few years! It will be talked about by researchers worldwide!"

Cao Feiyu sat down on the sofa and smiled. "Don't rush it. I was just joking. The academic circle is inherently small, and it's only materials chemistry, so the number of people paying attention is bound to be limited. I know all of this."

"Renting large servers was just a precaution, in case of the unexpected. It's just a pity that the unexpected didn't happen. Science is probably just this plain and ordinary."

Gao Yuan looked outside. "It's the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the coldest season of the year. It's perfect for hot pot. Let's go eat hot pot to celebrate the successful launch of Kunlun Asking the Way."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Just as they were discussing which hot pot restaurant to go to, Zhou Helin suddenly let out a scream, pointing at the screen, as if something incredible had happened.

"What's going on?"

Xu Qingzhou frowned and walked over. He looked closely at the screen and was also stunned on the spot.

On the Kunlun Asking the Way message board, a line of text was clearly displayed:

"The Ordnance Administration's Institute 52, Inner Mongolia Institute of Metallic Materials, all researchers, congratulate Kunlun Asking the Way!"

The military...

Was this a congratulatory message from a military research institute!?

"Shandong Institute of Non-metallic Materials 53 congratulates!"

"Changchun Institute of Equipment and Technology 55 congratulates!"

"Southwest Institute of Automation 58 congratulates!"

"Southwest Institute of Technical Engineering 59 congratulates!"

Shanxi Institute of Automotive Engines 70 congratulates!

China North Vehicle Research Institute 201 congratulates!

Northwest Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering 202 congratulates!

Xi'an Institute of Modern Control Technology 203 congratulates!

Xi'an Institute of Modern Chemistry 204 congratulates!

Xi'an Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Information 212 congratulates!

Shaanxi Institute of Applied Physical Chemistry 213 congratulates!

East China Institute of Optoelectronic Integrated Devices 214 congratulates!

Shanghai Electrical Control Research Institute 218 congratulates!

It's hard to imagine, all twenty-one research institutes under the Ordnance Administration have arrived!?

And next, it's the Aviation Administration and its thirty-six subordinate research institutes.

The Ship Administration and its thirty-two subordinate research institutes.

The Aerospace Administration and all of its subordinate research institutes...

At this moment, Gao Yuan had completely lost the ability to speak. Staring at the constantly refreshing congratulatory messages, his mouth hung open, utterly speechless in shock.

Even though it was just a simple congratulatory message, no one could ignore the power behind it, nor the deep meaning it contained.

The entire military research and development force had been mobilized. What level of support was this!?

Moreover, with the sudden appearance of the military's forces, Kunlun Asking the Way had captured the attention of all of Huaxia. The website's backend data began to soar, forming an extremely steep curve!

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the beginning of spring.

As if planned long ago, all the research institutes under the military gathered at Kunlun Asking the Way!
