49: Section 49

"Huaguo's small moves can't escape my eyes, especially since they've been making big moves recently."

"Although the specifics are still unclear, it's not hard to guess!"

At this point, Houston pointed to the strategic map of Huaguo displayed on the screen.

Then, pointing to several locations, he said, "Mr. President, please look."

"These places are public arsenals and heavy factories."

"Some time ago, all their military forces were concentrated in these two places. Although we couldn't detect what they were manufacturing, everything they produced was eventually transported to this place—"

"Their No. 3 Research Institute, where they developed the 90-nanometer photolithography machine!"

"photolithography machines are extremely large, weighing at least 150 tons. Our 3-nanometer photolithography machine even weighs 380 tons!"

"According to our measurements of the No. 3 Research Institute, given its area, it's absolutely impossible for two photolithography machines to exist there!"

"Unless they dismantle the 90-nanometer photolithography machine or create an extremely small one!"

"However, even if a 1-nanometer photolithography machine truly existed, the materials required to achieve that effect would be considerable, with an estimated weight possibly reaching 500 tons!"

"To put a second photolithography machine there, they would have to dismantle or move the first one!"

"Otherwise, there's simply no room!"

"But according to the intelligence I've gathered, over the past six months, the No. 3 Research Institute has only been transporting materials in, not moving large parts out."

"A photolithography machine is so massive and complex that it would be impossible to move it completely undetected by our surveillance!"

"Furthermore, the official news from Huaguo states that tomorrow's visiting place is the No. 3 Research Institute!"

"That is to say..."

At this point, he looked at the President with a teasing expression.

The President instantly understood and subconsciously said, "Huaguo plans to showcase its 90-nanometer photolithography machine?"

Houston sneered, "Yes, I am certain and positive that what Huaguo will display is that photolithography machine, which is forty years behind us, merely at the 90-nanometer level!"

"As for their recent actions, they must have just used surplus materials to package this photolithography machine, making it appear more mysterious and unique. This way, at least, the public won't discover the truth!"

"But..." The President frowned slightly, "If there are Experts present who want to verify it, they won't be able to fool them, right?"

At this point, the President suddenly realized.

"Exactly! If Experts are present, it will be discovered!"

"But if there are no Experts, they definitely won't find out!"

"Then we won't have any reason to attack Huaguo!"

Thinking of this, the President believed he had found the most reasonable explanation.

"Hehe, it seems Huaguo is rushing the timing to cover this up!"

"Moreover, if our professors and Experts fly over on a regular plane, they'll probably encounter flight delays. In short, they'll try every possible way to prevent our professors from getting close, right?"

"In that case, we'll use my presidential plane to take the professors directly!"

"Oh, and bring along all the professors from Netherlands, the Unsinkable Empire, and Deutschland!"

"The more professionals, the better!"

"We must ensure more professional professors are on site to thoroughly expose Huaguo's deception!"

The President's face immediately lit up with excitement.

The thought of having completely seen through Huaguo's scheme, and soon rendering Huaguo incapable of competing with them, made him ecstatic.

He couldn't help but grin widely and laugh; these were all his political achievements!

Huaguo still wants to play tricks in front of him? Heh, he will definitely leave no room for Huaguo to ever rise again!

"Yes, Mr. President, I'll go arrange it now!"

The secretary beside him, holding the President's handwritten note, immediately went to communicate with various departments... On the other side.

Huaguo, Yanjing, Headquarters Building.

Chief Yun approvingly patted Academician Wang's back and softly asked, "Old Wang, tomorrow's exhibition will likely face many challenges. Are you confident you can handle them?"

Academician Wang's eyes gleamed with extreme confidence, and he sneered, "If it were a photolithography machine I researched myself, I might not be so confident; I'd worry if there were any flaws or oversights."

"But this is a photolithography machine derived from Lin Bai's enhanced abilities!"

"If not for limited time, I could have made it even more perfect!"

"And now, even if it only achieves seventy percent of the documented level, I am confident I can withstand the scrutiny of any nation!"

Clap, clap, clap!

"Well said!"

"Our Huaguo never fears any challenge!"

At this moment, a resonant voice accompanied by applause reached the conference room.

It was the Military Region Leader, also a member of the Special Decision Group.

He gave Academician Wang his strong approval, then his gaze turned cold as he looked towards the No. 3 Research Institute, saying in a deep voice:

"Rest assured, tomorrow's security will be jointly handled by the Military Region Leader and the National Security Bureau, one inside and one outside, comprehensively protecting everyone and important equipment. We absolutely will not allow any villain to cause destruction on our territory!"

At this point, Chief Yun added, "Lin Bai's safety must also be greatly enhanced, but at the same time, its secrecy must be increased. They absolutely cannot be allowed to know Lin Bai's situation!"

However, after speaking, Chief Yun couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"But, given Lin Bai's lifestyle, who would ever connect him to the famous Lin's?"

"Ever since he bought a new computer, he's been living a carefree life of eating, drinking, and entertainment in his villa every day."

"If you were to tell someone that lin's special medicine, Lin's theory, and lin's lithography machine all originated from this very laid-back young man, nobody would believe it."

The others also nodded in agreement. Such an unworldly person, yet possessing miraculous special abilities.

Who could have imagined it!

"The Special Decision Group has been busy dealing with international incidents these past two days. As for Lin Bai, just let Li Yaoyao continue to keep an eye on him."

Subsequently, Chief Yun made more arrangements.

Although they had acquired their own photolithography machine, Huaguo had faced considerable pressure and suppression from all sides during this period.

However, he believed that as long as they withstood this pressure, Huaguo would definitely experience a leap-forward improvement!

After breaking the foreign monopoly, all industries in Huaguo would gain greater benefits, which would be hugely advantageous for Huaguo's future development!

The immediate priority was to arrange the photolithography machine exhibition... This day, Yanjing, Huaguo, was bustling with activity.

Special aircraft could be seen continuously landing at Yanjing Airport... These special private planes represented the exclusive aircraft of various countries: presidential planes, prime ministerial planes, and so on.

And descending from these planes were the Experts, professors, and scholars who had recently jointly condemned Huaguo for academic fraud.

This time, hearing that Huaguo was unrepentant and even planned to use a fake photolithography machine to deceive ordinary citizens.

They immediately accepted the invitation from the Lighthouse Country President, coming to the exhibition prepared to thoroughly expose the hypocritical and false face of Huaguo's technological field.

Furthermore, to ensure their safe appearance at the exhibition.

This time, they were accompanied by intelligence organizations from various countries as personal bodyguards, and all their food and drink were self-provided.

In short, they had prepared countermeasures for every possible contingency.

In the Lighthouse Country President's view, with all these preparations, Huaguo could not possibly prevent the true field Experts from attending the exhibition!

At that time, Huaguo's only outcome would be to admit defeat internationally and apologize to their Lighthouse Country!

The continuous arrival of professors began to make the people of Huaguo somewhat uneasy.

"Oh my goodness, so many senior professors from various fields have arrived!"

"Since last night, I've seen eighteen Nobel laureates!"

"These are true Experts, not Experts, and they won't be easily fooled!"

"I'm so worried, I wonder if Academician Wang really created our own photolithography machine?"

"Don't be afraid, trust Huaguo!"

"I want to believe, but haven't you heard? It seems this time the official approach is just a paper tiger, trying to feign composure to scare others away and reassure us, but there's actually no photolithography machine at all!"

"I heard that too! The officials actually didn't want them to come, but they didn't expect them to be so determined, even sending special forces as bodyguards to ensure the professors' arrival!"

"It's over, it's over. Once the lie is exposed, we'll truly have no way out!"

"I can't believe the officials pulled this stunt. It would have been better not to show it in the first place. At least then, people would only suspect, without evidence. Now, they're practically handing over the evidence to others."

"Alas, why have recent policies been so thoughtless, overly aggressive, leading to this backlash!"

"It starts in half an hour, and I heard they're even allowing live media coverage!"

"No way, they're going to be publicly humiliated live? I can't even watch!"

“...”

Public sentiment was turbulent and uneasy.

All of this, in the eyes of foreign professors, was due to Huaguo's continuous deception and lack of confidence.

And this false lie was about to be exposed by them!

Soon, everyone who had submitted an application was invited to gather at the No. 3 Research Institute.

Among the foreign representatives, a total of forty-eight domain Experts, professors, and scholars had all arrived at the scene.

Foreign media reporters included representatives from eight technologically powerful nations, such as Lighthouse Country, the Unsinkable Empire, Netherlands, and Sakura Island Nation.

They had all prepared their voice recorders and a series of challenging questions, ready to grill Huaguo's officials with sharp inquiries when Huaguo was exposed as a fraud.
