80: Want to buy our miracle drug? Trade your core technology for it!

When Burns's malicious and calculated scheme to "control the pricing power" echoed clearly in the main control room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base via the real-time monitoring of heavenly craft, Long Weiguo smiled.

He looked at the self-satisfied, ugly faces of the Western Alliance politicians on the screen, who thought they had devised a "master plan," and a smile full of pity appeared on his face.

Pitiful insects.

You still haven't understood what kind of monster you are truly facing!

You think you are playing a game with Xia Country?

No.

From beginning to end, you have only been playing a guaranteed winning game with our excessively young "Little Ancestor," a game where he personally set all the rules!

"heavenly craft." Long Weiguo picked up the internal communication phone, his voice filled with uncontrollable laughter. "Send this 'wonderful' conference recording to Mr. Lu Chen."

"While you're at it, ask him for me."

"Should we steam or roast this group of 'international friends' who are rushing to their deaths?"

...That afternoon.

When that emergency "drug import" application, jointly signed by over a dozen Western Alliance member countries and filled with "humanitarian" concern, was submitted to the highest levels of Xia Country through the fastest and most formal diplomatic channels, an online press conference attracting the attention of media worldwide was officially convened.

The protagonist of the press conference was none other than the founder of Pangu Technology, Lu Chen, who now enjoyed terrifying popularity globally, comparable to a "rock superstar"!

"I know everyone is very concerned about the overseas sales of 'Nuwa One'."

In the video feed, Lu Chen was still wearing his simple white research uniform, his face still bearing that harmless, innocent smile, like a scientific sage untouched by the world.

"Here, I can responsibly tell all friends around the world who are suffering from illness."

"Pangu Technology has always upheld the noble philosophy that 'technology should serve all of humanity'."

"We welcome cooperation with any nation or organization that holds good intentions."

"We are also willing to share 'Nuwa One', this miracle drug that carries the hope of all humanity, with everyone who needs it."

His "boundless love" and saintly speech instantly ignited public opinion overseas!

Countless foreign citizens who had previously worried that Xia Country would enforce a "technological monopoly" were overcome with joy, crying tears of happiness, and frantically praising Lu Chen's "greatness" and "selflessness"!

[Oh! My God! What did I hear?! This is simply an angel from the East!]

[Mr. Lu Chen! You are my second parents! I love you!]

[See that?! That is the true spirit a scientist should possess! In contrast, our unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies that only know how to make money are simply blood-sucking devils!]

Meanwhile, in the White House, the politicians who were just congratulating themselves on their "master plan" all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lu Chen's "benevolent" speech, displaying victorious smiles that signaled their scheme had succeeded.

"Heh, see that?" Burns looked at the "naive" Xia Country youth on the screen, a cold look of disdain curling his lips. "He's just a greenhorn after all. Slap a few 'humanitarian' compliments on him, and he loses his bearings."

"Just wait. Once his medicine enters our market, how it's priced, and who it's sold to, won't be up to him anymore!"

However, just as he was basking in his triumph, thinking he had controlled the entire situation, the "innocent" youth on the screen suddenly changed the subject!

"However," Lu Chen showed a "perfectly timed" look of difficulty, "as you all know, Pangu Technology is a small, newly established company. Our production capacity is truly limited, and there are far too many people worldwide who need this miracle drug."

"Therefore, to embody the principles of fairness, justice, and transparency, and to allow this miracle drug to serve all humanity faster and better, we have decided to offer the overseas production rights for 'Nuwa One' for... technological exchange with all capable and sincere countries and pharmaceutical companies worldwide!"

Boom!!!

"Technological exchange"?!

These four words were like a black divine thunderbolt from beyond the Ninth Heaven, striking Burns and all the Western Alliance bigwigs directly on the crown of their heads!

The smiles on their faces instantly froze! A terrifying, ominous premonition instantly flooded all their reason!

"The so-called technological exchange is very simple."

On the screen, Lu Chen still wore that harmless, innocent smile, but the words he spoke were like the loudest slaps, hitting the faces of all the Western Alliance bigwigs hard!

"Don't you of the Western Alliance love engaging in 'technological blockades'? Don't you love hoarding the most cutting-edge technologies like treasures?"

"It's alright, I'm a very reasonable person. I don't want anything else from you, only..."

He gently tapped his finger in the air.

The next second!

A dense, hundred-page-long technical list was clearly displayed before everyone in the world!

The list detailed thousands of core technologies that the Western Alliance had strictly embargoed and forbidden from being exported to Xia Country!

From single-crystal blades for aero-engines to ultra-high-strength steel for deep-sea submersibles!

From five-axis linkage systems for industrial machine tools to high-precision centrifuges for biopharmaceuticals!

Everything was included!

"Do you see this list?" Lu Chen pointed to the technical list, which could be called the Western Alliance's "lifeline," and smiled faintly. "My condition is very simple."

"Want the production rights for my 'Nuwa One'? You can have them."

"Exchange it for the technology on this list!"

"One technology for one year!"

"Fair dealing for all, no credit allowed!"

"Of course..." A devilish smile curled his lips. "If you can't bear to part with them, that's fine too."

"Then please continue to enjoy your 'sky-high priced targeted drugs' at one hundred thousand dollars per box."

"After all, life is priceless, isn't it?"
