63: Section 63

Huaguo's investigation application has always existed.

Moreover, as time passed, not only was it not suppressed, but it also gained support from more and more countries.

On this day, the President saw his secretary suddenly rush in anxiously.

“Mr. President, the investigation application in the United Nations has passed!!!”

“What???”

The President was instantly dumbfounded.

What's going on? Only half a month passed, and suddenly he's being told the report has been approved?

“Huaguo must be up to something. What have they been doing lately?”

The secretary hurriedly pulled out an intelligence report from his hand.

The President took it and was instantly dumbfounded.

It read—

Huaguo's chip research and development was successful and has entered the mass production phase. Five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips will be permitted for external sale!

Chapter 68: Lighthouse Country is in a Panic! Huaguo Announces New News: Combustible Ice Mining Technology!

“What the f***???”

When the President saw this intelligence report, he was completely stunned.

Although he knew that after Huaguo obtained the lin's lithography machine, chip development would not be very difficult.

After all, before this, what Huaguo lacked was fundamentally not chip research.

Huaguo itself had many chip projects and ideas.

At that time, it was only because they lacked the means of production—they did not have the corresponding photolithography machine.

Therefore, their chips could either only be manufactured by purchasing foreign photolithography machines, or they had to share the chip technology and cooperate with other countries for development.

Regardless, Huaguo's chip technology was actually not backward; only the means of production lagged behind.

But now that they have the photolithography machine, all their various high-end chips are continuously emerging like mushrooms after the rain.

Although it will still take some time to achieve mass production.

However, this outcome is completely certain. No country, not even Lighthouse Country, can stop Huaguo's chips from developing at ultra-high speed.

Aside from experience and existing inventory, in all other aspects, they can be said to have completely surpassed Lighthouse Country's chip sector!

During this period, Huaguo directly released news.

In three months at most, chip manufacturing will be scaled up, and production and quality will continuously improve over the next few years.

And since they possess the lin's lithography machine, no one doubts them when they say this.

Because they have the confidence and the capability!

“shit!?”

“Is Huaguo crazy?”

“They actually plan to let such important chips flow out in batches?”

“Is this just to win over other countries to deal with our great Lighthouse Country?”

“They're making such a huge move just to investigate our chemical laboratory?”

The President, enraged, didn't think too deeply.

He merely regarded Huaguo's announcement this time as a means to strike at him.

But regardless, this method was indeed highly effective!

These are extremely sophisticated five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips!

Moreover, the intelligence indicated that the five-nanometer chips are available to anyone willing to pay.

Even if their Lighthouse Country, or Cherry Blossom Island Country, and other blacklisted nations want to buy them, they can.

Of course, the price will be slightly—just a billion points—more expensive. Anyway, since one side is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy, Huaguo never forces transactions.

As for the even more sophisticated three-nanometer chips, originally, Lighthouse Country was the only one in the world to exclusively possess this level of chip.

They had no intention of selling them externally, and they weren't even used domestically for civilian purposes, only for military applications.

Yet Huaguo is actually willing to sell three-nanometer chips!

Although unlike the non-discriminatory sale of five-nanometer chips, the three-nanometer chips are only being sold to a few nations friendly with Huaguo.

But those countries themselves don't even have ninety-nanometer chips!

Once they possess these three-nanometer chips, they can quickly advance their high-tech sectors in a short period!

As the saying goes, there are no absolute allies, only absolute interests.

When Huaguo announced this news, even the small vassal states friendly with Lighthouse Country expressed their eager desire!

After all, these are five-nanometer chips!

They are inherently extremely rare!

The three major powers controlling the chip supply—Lighthouse Country, Netherlands, and Cherry Blossom Island Country—have always sold outdated chips, not the latest models.

But Huaguo is different now; if they sell, they give you the latest, which is absolutely satisfying!

How could other countries miss this opportunity!

Isn't the goal just to mess with Lighthouse Country?

These smaller countries don't even need to take action; they just need to speak up, echo the sentiment internationally, and issue a condemnation.

And incidentally, sign the application submitted to the United Nations.

What's so difficult about that?

For the sake of the chips, they sold out Lighthouse Country without a second thought!

Therefore, before long, the United Nations approved the application for a mandatory inspection of Lighthouse Country's laboratory.

Although the report won't be made public, it must be verified whether the chemical agent, after reacting in the ocean, is harmful to the marine environment.

If it is harmful, then the environmental protection argument will be withdrawn, and everyone can go back to what they were doing.

Furthermore, if the harm is too great, this chemical agent will even be listed as a restricted item, prohibiting Lighthouse Country from using it.

At the very least, it cannot be used openly.

In this way, for Lighthouse Country, it was completely equivalent to shooting themselves in the foot.

The President was thrown into confusion and could only busy himself holding meetings to discuss how to deal with this investigation, without thinking too deeply about Huaguo's actions.

However.

In reality, Huaguo's decision this time was completely premeditated, long-considered, and even part of a very long-term plan!

Yanjing Headquarters Building, top-floor conference room.

Here, no more than twenty top Huaguo leaders were holding a meeting.

And Chief Yun was one of them.

The external sale of ultra-sophisticated chips this time was the topic he proposed.

However, initially, many people naturally opposed it.

After all, Huaguo itself hadn't even fully utilized the five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips yet, and selling them externally like this caused many to feel heartbroken!

“Yun Huafeng, this is no joke. How could you make such a casual decision!”

“Products in a high-end field like chips absolutely cannot be leaked out casually!”

“Especially since you said you would even sell them to that small island nation that's doing pretty well—isn't that outright aiding the enemy?”

“I disagree with this proposal!”

Upon seeing this proposal, seventy percent of the people chose to oppose it.

Some even couldn't help but shout out his name and curse.

After all, the matter was significant, and these chips were extremely rare, treated like treasures by every country.

How could they sell them externally right after developing them?

When nations sell these high-end products externally, they have always adhered to the principle of only selling older generations of products that have either been retired or replaced.

Selling the newest products directly like this—if they didn't know Chief Yun's identity and character, they would suspect he was a hidden spy.

However, after Chief Yun elaborated and listed a series of long-term plans, the other leaders present were stunned.

“Fellow colleagues, I understand your concerns.”

“But have you considered that five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips are also considered outdated products for us now!”

“After all, we have already rapidly developed five-nanometer, three-nanometer, one-nanometer, and 0.75-nanometer chips!”

“And the upper limit, 0.35-nanometer, is also under research and won't take long to achieve a breakthrough!”

“You should understand that in the field of chips, below the ten-nanometer level, every nanometer of refinement results in an exponential increase in the actual operating efficiency of the chip.”

“Lighthouse Country is the same; once they developed three-nanometer chips, they also sold five-nanometer chips externally.”

“Therefore, our external sale of five-nanometer and three-nanometer chips has no impact on us whatsoever.”

“On the contrary...”

Having said this, Chief Yun paused, giving the others time to process the information.

Those present were all intelligent people.

Their initial fierce opposition was simply because Huaguo had lagged too far behind in the chip sector for too long.

Consequently, they still felt that chips of the five-nanometer level were rare and precious items, hard to come by.

Little did they know that five-nanometer chips were already easily obtainable for them now.
