This is the perfect chance to catch them all in one net!

...Chapter 46: New Technology Announced, Still Named Lin's! The World Boils Over!

Chapter 46: New Technology Announced, Still Named Lin's! The World Boils Over!

"Hmph, I want to see how long China can last this time!"

"In just a few days, they'll surely be kneeling and admitting their mistake, crying and begging us to trade with them."

"They don't even have the technology, yet they want to play the pressure game like us?"

"Where do they get the nerve, heh!"

The rare earth share in the global rare earth market instantly dropped by a full ninety percent.

However, foreign companies were not worried about this at all. Instead, they raised the price of the remaining rare earth in their inventory for sale, and even made more profit than before.

Of course, as time passed and their inventory gradually decreased, they started to feel a little anxious.

However, no one was worried about this standoff; they believed they would definitely be the final winners.

"China will pay the price for the mistake it has made!"

This sentence circulated in the hearts of everyone in the Western Countries.

Until that day—

"China Academy of Sciences Officially Announces: Deep Rare Earth Refining Technology Solved!"

"A method for deep processing rare earth, honorably known as the Lin's Theory and officially named Enhanced Cascade Extraction Method, has been formally established!"

"Shocking! China actually possesses its own deep rare earth processing technology!"

"The introduction of the policy was actually to protect our country's precious resources!"

...In the morning, after the Academy of Sciences' theory was made public.

It instantly caused an uproar throughout the entire world.

"Impossible! How could a mere China develop this so quickly under the joint technological blockade of multiple nations?"

"What! Cascade what-what? What is this thing? I've never even heard of it!"

"I know it! This must be a smokescreen! Only our theory is correct; they must just be fooling the public."

"Heh, China, trying to independently research a technology completely different from ours? What an international joke!"

Although Elder Professor Xu had officially presented this paper, the Western Countries simply didn't believe it.

They believed that only their type of technology was the correct approach, and this technology, which sounded like a joke, must be fake!

Claiming it's the best technology in the world? That's simply impossible!

It's definitely grandstanding!

Of course, since China's asthma medicine had recently burst onto the scene and dominated the world.

Coupled with the fact that this theory also bore the Lin's name, they had no choice but to take it seriously... At this moment, in Lighthouse Country.

New Jersey.

Princeton Research Institute.

As the highest-level research institute in Lighthouse Country and even the entire world, the Princeton Research Institute was still brightly lit, even though it was late at night.

Dozens of figures gathered in the spacious research lab.

Most of them were big shots in the rare earth field, and some were professors from other fields.

They were gathered together this time simply because they took seriously the brand new theory put forth by China!

Furthermore, even the President personally came to oversee and inspect the institute, as continuous leapfrog development in China during his term would be highly detrimental to him. He had to ensure China didn't pull any tricks in the next few years.

"Based on my years of experience, this so-called Cascade Theory does indeed exist."

"However, it only exists in theory; it is fundamentally impossible to realize!"

"Heh, all I want to say is that Ion Exchange Method and Fractional Crystallization Method are the only ways to solve this; everything else is unorthodox!"

In the research lab, discussions rose in waves, with every big shot presenting their opinion.

The theory itself was not hard to understand; using analogies like liking milk versus liking cola made it comprehensible even to those outside the specific profession.

Not to mention that everyone present was a top figure in their respective fields.

However, theory is ultimately just theory. The Academy of Sciences would never disclose the actual realization method, so what they ultimately got was just conjecture based on their own experience.

Finally, everyone came to one conclusion—

It cannot be realized!

"Absurd, absolutely absurd!"

"What if a person likes both milk and cola?"

"The final resulting selection will still have a large margin of error. Even if the rare earth is successfully separated, there is a high probability of obtaining the wrong rare earth elements, failing to get the true rare earth resources!"

The others agreed with this viewpoint.

Because the method was impossible to disclose, only a theory had been published.

But with so many people gathered there, no one could think of a single way to handle this challenge presented to them, not even a tiny bit of an idea.

Instead, they became less panicked.

"Heh, it can basically be confirmed that the Chinese people are just grandstanding. This kind of deep processing technology can only ever remain a theory."

"To truly implement it, even if you gave them twenty years, they couldn't do it! Conversely, if they continue to imitate our technology, they might succeed in ten years."

"Haha, they don't even know whether to choose ten years or twenty years. Chinese people truly value face above all else!"

The President didn't understand the technical content, but he understood the final mocking part very clearly and profoundly.

To summarize in one sentence—

The technology doesn't exist, and China is not worth fearing!

The President, having received assurance, began notifying Lighthouse Country's little brothers with full confidence, telling them there was no need to panic at all.

Following the path illuminated by the Lighthouse is the most correct path!

With the guarantee from Lighthouse Country, the other subordinate nations finally felt relieved.

They all started jumping out, intensifying the pressure on China.

"Xiba-er, a problem that even lighthouse country father couldn't solve, and Chinese people dare to publish such a theory?"

"Baga, Chinese people are too shameless! How dare they release an impossible, fanciful theory internationally?"

"A mere China wants to challenge the authority of lighthouse country father?"

"Blockade! We must blockade all of China's rare earth resources! Let China know its mistake!"

For a time, countries around the world genuinely began implementing the blockade plan.

Instantly, all rare earth related enterprises in China, just as the Western Countries had guessed, came to a halt... Chapter 47: Lin Bai: This Lin's Is Truly Awesome!

Chapter 47: Lin Bai: This Lin's Is Truly Awesome!

If even industry insiders couldn't understand the intricacies, then the laymen watching the spectacle were even more incredulous.

After all, a completely new theory had been proposed, and there was nothing comparable in the same field, making it even harder for them to intuitively determine its authenticity.

However, despite the unanimous pessimism both domestically and internationally.

As the Academy of Sciences began implementing the technology in those enterprises, tremendous changes immediately occurred.

However, the companies that were able to obtain this technology, whether state-owned enterprises or private companies of any size.

Without exception, most of them were pragmatic enterprises that worked quietly and would not harm the interests of others for temporary gain.

After obtaining this technology, they immediately followed instructions, leading their companies to begin transformation, operation, and production.

Soon, production lines were completed one after another and put into operation.

Companies across various industries that had been in chaos due to the scarcity of refined rare earth resources just recently.

Suddenly received numerous trade orders, all from domestic companies, and these were for already refined rare earth resources!

More importantly, compared to the exorbitant prices of the past, the price this time could even be called dirt cheap!

In just a few days, all rare earth related industries in China had completely resumed normal operations.

In fact, it could even be said that they were operating more efficiently than before!
