Western media may not prioritize the good news from Huaxia, so surely it can't be that significant.
Thus, when Qiao Ze originally posted those twelve pictures on Weibo, Huaxia's media didn't really make a big deal out of it; its spread relied almost entirely on Dou Dou's own influence.
And the positive impact was largely limited to two specific environments: universities and research institutes.
When the European Nuclear Center first hinted at the possible discovery of graviton evidence, due to the lack of widespread reporting by Western media, domestic media people also didn't pay much attention. A few media outlets did release the news, but it failed to create even a ripple.
Furthermore, since Qiao Ze didn't care much about the initial validation, nor did he have Dou Dou promote it, its impact within the country remained confined to the academic and research environments, with the majority of ordinary students still unaware of the news.
This time, when Western media began to promote the news first, those media people who had previously missed the big announcement suddenly couldn't sit still. They immediately followed in the footsteps of their colleagues in the West and began to promote it vigorously.
At first, a group of media outlets were in sync, publishing generic press releases.
"European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) discovers gravitons, which may be the key to solving the Grand Unified Theory."
But when some media started to consult domestic experts on the issue and then noticed groups of international students spreading the word on domestic online networks, they immediately discovered another layer of big news within the big news.
The discovery of the graviton actually relied on Qiao Ze's "Quantum Containment Theory".
And this was the same material that Qiao Ze had previously posted on Weibo through Dou Dou?
Could there really be such a thing?
What in the world is Qiao Ze not skilled in? He's not only solved the Clay Institute's Millennium problem, but also developed an artificial intelligence like Dou Dou, and not long ago, he came up with a materials model—although it wasn't widely reported, everyone was aware of it.
And what can be verified is that Qiao Ze is even connected to the ongoing photolithography machine project...
Such talent, wouldn't it be fair to call him a national treasure?
So, the media folks were excited once again.
All previous reports about Qiao Ze were dug up once more.
That includes the exclusive interview written by He Danchang.
An idiot in high school who suddenly became a legend in college—perhaps only that Monkey King from the legends was this powerful. Has he truly become immortal?
With this discovery, Qiao Ze's name again went viral online, deepening countless ordinary people's awareness of his name.
But this time, the reactions of netizens were noticeably different.
"Here we go again... I've noticed that Dou's dad makes it to the hot search every once in a while, and the intervals never exceed a quarter. Isn't Dou's dad a bit too amazing?"
"No wonder Dou Dou is so arrogant. Damn, if I had a dad that badass, I could be even more arrogant than Dou Dou. Just don't know if Qiao dad is in need of more sons?"
Yes, Dou Dou's influence is too significant. Now, when people see Qiao Ze's name, the first thing they think of is, Dou Dou's dad.
What's scarier is, this time if someone dares to drop a sour comment in the news section about Qiao Ze, immediately a horde of Dou Dou's fans would come swarming in to attack.
"Who is this? Daring to disrespect Dou Dou's dad? Are you not taking our 170 million Dou fans seriously?"
"Dou fans march forth, leaving no grass alive! Buddy, I suggest you think carefully before you speak. Some people are not to be trifled with!"
Their affection is true, fully embracing Qiao Ze as Dou's dad.
Dou Dou's Weibo simply exploded.
More accurately, it was the Weibo fan group managed by Dou Dou.
If someone has a lot of fans, they need someone to manage various group chats, but clearly, Dou Dou doesn't need that.
Dozens of Weibo fan groups, each filled with two thousand members, were all well managed by Dou Dou.
In every group, he reigned supreme as the group leader.
There's no helping it, in a group of two thousand, even if only a hundred people are online each day, each one leaving a comment, Dou Dou would have to respond to a hundred comments.
Not to mention Dou Dou's fan groups are exceptionally active.
Especially in times like these, with the influence of trending searches, the excitement of the fans is completely ignited.
The messages in the group began to scroll like a flood, but clearly, this presented no problem for Dou Dou.
"¿, making it to the hot search for my dad, isn't that just basic for him? Are you guys so excited about that? I can't stand the sight of you not having seen the world! (shrugging)"
"Want to see my dad in his element? Come on, let me show you the world! (slamming the table laughing)"
