Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 546 - 548 Officially Begins

Ren Huachen had almost been done in by him back then, and he remembered it to this day.

Currently, within the domestic internet industry, Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping are the strongest players, with Qian Du Company having fallen behind a tier.

As such, Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping often compete in various sectors. Had it not been for the meteoric rise of Xinghai Company, it would have been impossible for the two to unite.

During the recent food delivery war, both sides fought so fiercely that they were almost driven to desperation, burning through tens of millions every day.

The topic of Xinghai Social Software had surged to number one in online discussions.

Due to Qin Hao's significant fame and a large fan base, the number of participants in the discussion was exceedingly high, having already exceeded ten million.

Qin Hao had also given a simple introduction to the features of Xinghai Social Software on Wei Yan.

Xingyu Network Communication Company had registered a Wei Yan account, and with Qin Hao's help, their followers had quickly increased.

From the backend, Qin Hao and Chang Jing saw that in just a couple of short hours, the download count of Xinghai Social Software had reached over fourteen million.

The influence of Qin Hao online was evident.

They could also see the number of active backend users, the peak being over six million users online at the same time.

At this moment, it had dropped to around one million users, a steep decline.

Xinghai Social Software featured functions such as adding friends and people nearby, and its geolocation was very accurate.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Xingyu Network Communication Company's official Wei Yan released a staggering piece of news:

Our company has developed the Star Domain Network wireless signal, with signal strength covering the entire globe and network speed calculated in DB. At twelve o'clock, it will be freely available to all national users; the service is not yet available abroad.

Due to business cooperation issues, our wireless network will not be open to certain companies.

For now, it will only be available for our own Xinghai Social Software, and we will provide the strongest signal for you, whether you are in the deep mountains or underground.

Paying for calls? You're already OUT.

By using Xinghai Social Software, you will be able to contact any friend for free, and you can even call strangers, as long as you add the other party's account. Voice and video calls feature ultra-clear quality throughout, without any network lag.

We also have a considerate blacklist service. If you encounter harassing calls, add them to the blacklist, and our Artificial Intelligence server will monitor them 24/7. If there is confirmed evidence of frequent harassing calls, permanent bans will be enforced.

...

Upon this announcement, a massive uproar erupted on the internet immediately.

Wireless signal covering the entire globe? Free access for all national users?

This news was far more shocking than Xinghai Social Software because it wasn't just about the internet social industry, but Star Domain Network was different; its impact was enormous.

The immediate reaction for many was disbelief. How could a global wireless signal with such strength be released when even 5G had not yet become widespread?

Especially the experts in some industries were skeptics: "This is outright impossible. With present technology, it simply cannot be done. This statement is mere sensationalism; it seems to be just to promote Xinghai Social Software."

Other industry experts also made statements: "Indeed, this is utterly implausible. To advertise their social software in such a manner is somewhat shameless."

"Fake? Damn, got me all excited for nothing."

"The experts are saying it's fake; it must be fake. The person who spoke just now is a well-known communications industry expert in the country."

"A scam? Damn, I'm uninstalling Xinghai Social Software."

Among those discussing were fans of Qin Hao, who stated: The establishment of Xingyu Network Communication Company was with an investment of fifty billion by Mr. Qin. If the official Wei Yan account made this statement, it must be under Mr. Qin's directive. Are you not aware of Mr. Qin's strength?

"Exactly, we trust Mr. Qin. Having developed Artificial Intelligence, what's so difficult about a global Star Domain Network?"

"Supporting Mr. Qin, looking forward to free video calls after twelve o'clock, haha."

"What do the experts count for? Mr. Qin is a fellow of the Xuan Science Academy. Compared to Mr. Qin, of course his words carry more authority."

"Right, we believe in Mr. Qin. Since he stated it, it must be so."

There were many who believed in Qin Hao, but there were also quite a few who did not, with the communications industry experts taking the lead in skepticism.

According to their estimates, even the Federation institutions that first researched the internet would not be capable of developing such a global wireless network, at least not for more than a hundred years.

If the Star Domain Network was truly as powerful as stated by Xingyu Network Communication Company, it would completely overturn the current internet. With present technology, it simply couldn't be done.

When the people of Tenglong Group heard this news, their faces changed dramatically, and they convened an emergency meeting once again.

If this news was true, it would indeed affect the status of TT Social Software.

If the news were accurate, then the Xinghai Software right now would be like an app for free phone calls. If the network were fast, it would undoubtedly attract a massive user base right away.

Once they had plenty of users and had formed a social network, people would become more and more inseparable from Xinghai Social Software, while TT Software would lose a large number of users.

...

Inside the laboratory of Xinghai High-tech Company.

After arriving, Qin Hao and Chang Jing found He Tingting and others, who were developing browser software.

He asked, "Mr. He, when can the mobile browser software be developed?"

He Tingting replied, "Mr. Qin, developing a browser is quite simple. We can just use a template, which should be ready by this afternoon. We'll improve it gradually during use. To have something sophisticated and comprehensive might take about seven or eight days."

Qin Hao said, "Start with a simple version, and we can slowly upgrade and improve it later. Even if it's simple, it must have the most basic functions."

"Understood, Mr. Qin."

For now, the Star Domain Network was free only for Xinghai Social Software. If users wanted to browse websites or play games, they would still need to consume their own data, not to mention other activities.

This was Qin Hao's current weak point; his foundation on the internet was shallow and couldn't form a complete ecosystem.

With a comprehensive internet ecosystem and relying on the freely opened Star Domain Network, only then could true deterrence be formed.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting the arrival of twelve o'clock.

The three giants of the internet, as well as many internet companies, were waiting, along with the three major domestic mobile communication operators.

They wanted to verify whether the news was indeed true!

If it were true, there would be massive ramifications: user flight from TT Social Software, plummeting revenues for communication operators!

Soon it was eleven fifty-nine in the morning, just one minute left until twelve o'clock.

When the clock struck twelve, the workshop staff pressed the activation button, and two low-orbit signal devices were turned on, along with ten large servers.

All around the world, whether it was Antarctica or the Arctic, the depths of the sea, or the deep mountains, a wireless network appeared on the wireless network list of their mobile devices.

The network was named: Intelligent Star Domain Network!
