12: Chapter 12: Tesla CEO Panicks! China's Electric Trams Dominate the World!

"Mr. President, Tesla Group CEO Elon Musk, urgent call!" The intelligence officer's voice came through the encrypted communicator, carrying a hint of anxiety.

Far across the ocean, the advent of Dragon Country's all-solid-state lithium-air battery was like a bombshell, instantly detonating global public opinion. Especially for the new energy vehicle industry, the shockwave reached tsunami levels. Just as Lin Yun was leisurely sipping tea, waiting for the global reaction, the entire world's commercial and technological spheres were already boiling over because of this technology.

Inside the underground command center of The White House in Eagle Sauce Country, the President's face was ashen. He took the phone, and before he could even speak, a voice with a heavy, anxious Silicon Valley accent came from the other end.

"Damn it! Mr. President! Haven't you seen the news from Dragon Country yet?!" Musk's voice almost roared out of the receiver. "Their 'Pangu Energy' company just announced that based on the new lithium-air battery technology, they have developed an electric vehicle with a range of over 2,000 kilometers! And the charging time is only 10 minutes!"

The President took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock brought by Musk. How could he not have seen it? Those explosive news headlines had already repeatedly ravaged his nerves through various channels.

[Dragon Country 'Pangu Energy' releases epoch-making all-solid-state lithium-air battery, global new energy landscape changes!]

[Electric vehicle range exceeds two thousand kilometers! Dragon Country technology leads the future!]

[End of the fuel car era? Experts say Dragon Country's battery technology may reshape the world!]

"Elon, calm down!" The President tried to stabilize the other party's emotions. "We are currently verifying the accuracy of the news."

"Verify? Does this still need verification?!" Musk's voice was even more agitated. "My team has already obtained their technical details through various channels. Although it's only the publicly available part, it's enough to prove that this is not propaganda at all! This is real! They actually did it!"

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of despair. "Mr. President, do you know what this means? This means Tesla! It means our leading position in the electric vehicle field in Eagle Sauce Country has been instantly crushed into slag by Dragon Country! Our superchargers, our battery factories, all our investments... will all become worthless!"

Musk, this tech fanatic known for "first principles," felt at this moment not that he was being surpassed, but that he was being subjected to a complete dimensional strike! The battery technology he was so proud of seemed like a tool from the Stone Age compared to the products of a future civilization in front of Dragon Country's 'Pangu Energy'; there was simply no comparison!

"Our Model S, the range barely reaches 700 kilometers, and it takes an hour to fully charge! Dragon Country's electric cars have a range of 2,000 kilometers and charge in 10 minutes! How do you expect me to compete?!" Musk's voice was full of powerlessness and anger.

The President's face was ashen; he knew Musk wasn't exaggerating. This meant that not only the electric vehicle industry, but the entire transportation industry, and even the aerospace industry, would be completely subverted by this technology from Dragon Country!

"Elon, have you thought about acquiring this technology from Dragon Country?" The President lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of probing.

"Of course I have! We have already sent our top business negotiation team to contact the Dragon Country side!" Musk smiled bitterly. "But Mr. President, do you know how they replied?"

"They said... this technology is a 'national treasure' of Dragon Country! Not! For! Sale!" Musk's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth. "They even cut off all our communication channels directly! They don't even bother to talk to us at all!"

The President hung up the phone and slumped helplessly in his chair. An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly engulfed him. He realized that Dragon Country's move this time was not just leading in technology, but strategically playing a trump card capable of changing the global landscape!

And at this moment, car manufacturers around the world were also plunged into panic.

At the Toyota headquarters in Neon Country, President Akio Toyoda watched the Dragon Country new energy vehicle press conference on the screen, his eyes full of despair. "Fuel cars are our lifeline! Now... what should we do?"

Traditional automotive giants from Germany, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen, also urgently held video conferences. Facing the crushing force of Dragon Country's new technology, the internal combustion engine technology they relied on for survival instantly became like a pile of scrap metal.

"We must take action immediately! Learn from Dragon Country! Acquire their technology!" one executive suggested.

"Acquire?!" Another executive sneered and shook his head. "Musk has already hit a wall, what chance do we have? Besides, would the people of Dragon Country be stupid enough to sell this kind of disruptive technology to us and let our products compete with them?"

The entire global automotive industry was plunged into an unprecedented crisis due to the advent of a battery technology from Dragon Country. Market analysts released reports one after another, predicting that the global automotive market would face a brutal reshuffle. The order volume for Dragon Country's new energy vehicles was skyrocketing like an avalanche, with countless consumers flocking to Dragon Country brands, just to experience the legendary 2,000-kilometer ultra-long range and 10-minute ultra-fast charging future technology.

In the villa's living room, Qin Zihan was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet computer, browsing international news. She saw the panicked comments Musk posted on Twitter and saw the global stock market fluctuating violently due to the explosion of Dragon Country technology, and a rare, faint smile appeared on her cold face.

She looked at Lin Yun, who was leisurely sipping tea, with an unusual glimmer in her eyes. "Lin Yun, it seems this 'pregnancy celebration' gift of yours has already brought enough of a surprise to the whole world."

Lin Yun put down his teacup and smiled as he looked at Qin Zihan's slightly bulging abdomen.

"This is just an appetizer." Lin Yun's gaze looked through the floor-to-ceiling window, as if seeing a more distant future. "When our children are born, I believe they will bring more 'surprises' to this world."

The corners of Qin Zihan's mouth lifted slightly, her eyes full of expectation. She knew this was just the beginning of Lin Yun subverting the world. And she, as a personal participant in this great plan, would witness it all.

"But having said that," Qin Zihan withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Yun, "which field are you planning to give your next 'gift' to? Aerospace? Biomedical? Or..."

Lin Yun smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly. He knew that every technological explosion was accompanied by huge risks and challenges. Eagle Sauce Country would not let it go easily.

"Dr. Qin, I would actually like to know, how is your prenatal education going?" Lin Yun changed the subject and pointed to the book "Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" in Qin Zihan's hand. "Our S-rank twins cannot lose at the starting line."

Qin Zihan looked at the quantum physics work in her hand. Although her face remained cold, her eyes held a hint of softness called "maternal love." She knew that for Lin Yun, this was not just for the future of the country, but also for their unborn children.

"Don't worry, Lin Yun," Qin Zihan said softly. "In their world, everything will be the best. I will let them stand at the very pinnacle of human civilization from the moment they are born."

She gently stroked her abdomen, as if she could feel the transcendent talent of the two little lives inside. She knew that under Lin Yun's "enlightenment," her understanding of quantum mechanics had reached an unprecedented height. And what she had to do was to pass on this most cutting-edge, most profound knowledge to the children in her womb in the most gentle and natural way.

Lin Yun looked at Qin Zihan's serious and focused expression, his heart filled with warmth. He knew that Qin Zihan, this woman who was rational to the extreme, was interpreting the greatness of a mother in her own unique way.

He was suddenly looking forward to what kind of "birth gift" those two unborn S-rank twins would bring.
