50: Chapter 50 Summary: China's GDP Tops the World List

"Building a school on the moon?!"

President Qin, on the other end of the phone, was speechless for a long time after hearing Lin Yun's earth-shattering idea.

He felt that his imagination was far too impoverished in front of this son-in-law of his.

The black technologies developed before were at least within the scope of Earth.

Now, Lin Yun had set his sights directly on the sea of stars!

"You, are you serious, kid?"

President Qin asked with difficulty.

"Of course."

Lin Yun's tone was as casual as if he were discussing what to have for dinner tonight.

"Earth's resources are ultimately limited."

"And my children, their future shouldn't be confined to this tiny blue planet."

"Their journey is the sea of stars."

"So, it's only natural to build a school for them that matches their potential."

"And the moon, or Mars, is just the first step."

"In the future, we could even build a 'City in the Sky' in Jupiter's orbit, or have a 'Cosmic Race' within Saturn's rings."

Lin Yun's description made President Qin's heart pound!

He felt as if he could already see the near future.

Lin Yun's S-rank offspring, piloting starships even more advanced than the 'Torch Dragon,' freely exploring the vast Milky Way and establishing one interstellar colony after another for the Dragon Country!

What a magnificent and grand sight that would be!

"I understand."

President Qin took a deep breath; he knew he had to keep up with his son-in-law's pace.

"Regarding this matter, I will immediately organize the Academy of Sciences to establish an 'Interstellar Campus' special research task force!"

"If you need any resources, just say the word!"

"Alright."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Yun stretched.

The debut of the 'Torch Dragon' had already achieved its intended effect.

Eagle Sauce's space hegemony had been completely crippled.

The global landscape would also be completely reshaped after this 'unsheathing of the sword.'

It was time for a phase summary.

"Xiao Zhang."

Lin Yun called out calmly.

"Here! Comrade Lin Yun!"

Xiao Zhang jolted and immediately straightened his back.

"Pull up the various economic data for our Dragon Country's most recent quarter for me to see."

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, a massive report containing countless data points appeared on the command center's large screen.

When everyone saw the final figure at the very top of the report, highlighted in bold red font...

Everyone present, including Old Chen, fell into a daze once again.

"Dragon Country's GDP (Gross Domestic Product) this quarter grew by 200% quarter-on-quarter!"

"Total GDP has surpassed Eagle Sauce for the first time, reaching number one in the world!"

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Then, there was thunderous, deafening cheering!

"We won! We won!"

"Number one in the world! We've finally become number one in the world!"

Xiao Zhang's face was flushed with excitement as he hugged the colleague next to him, jumping up and down!

Old Chen, the centenarian who had witnessed the Dragon Country go from poverty and weakness to its current global dominance, could no longer suppress his excitement; tears instantly blurred his eyes!

He knew what this 'world number one' meant!

It meant that the struggles and dreams of several generations of the Dragon Country had finally been fully realized today!

It meant that the ancient Eastern nation, whose gates had once been blasted open by the powerful ships and cannons of Western powers, had now returned to the top of the world in a posture they could only look up to!

And all of this stemmed from the young man who was still sitting there calmly!

Lin Yun!

Single-handedly, he had carried the entire Dragon Country on his shoulders and forced it to the pinnacle of the world!

"Everyone, calm down for a moment."

Lin Yun's voice pulled everyone back from their euphoria.

He pointed at the dense data on the screen and analyzed it calmly:

"Reaching the top in GDP is just a result, not our ultimate goal."

"What we need to look at is every component that makes up this result."

"First is the pangu coin."

"Thanks to the global promotion of 'Perfect Gene Repair Fluid' and 'Black Tech Food,' the pangu coin has completely replaced the US dollar as the world's only hard currency."

"Over 95% of global international trade is now settled using the pangu coin."

"This has brought us nearly infinite global seigniorage."

"Second is our high-tech industries."

"The electronic information industry centered on the Pangu Chip, the new energy industry centered on 'Lithium-Air Batteries,' the military industry centered on 'Shenwei Exoskeletons,' and the life and health industry centered on 'Gene Repair Fluid'."

"These four pillar industries have completely monopolized the global high-end market, with profit margins exceeding 1000%."

"Finally, there's the upgrading of our traditional industries."

"With the support of 'Pangu Industrial Mother Machines' and 'Quantum Agriculture' technology, our country's manufacturing and agriculture have achieved leapfrog development."

"We are now not only the 'World's Factory,' but also the 'World's Granary' and the 'World's Science and Technology Center'."

Every word Lin Yun spoke was like a reassuring pill, filling everyone's heart with unprecedented stability and pride!

They knew that the Dragon Country's 'world number one' status wasn't built on a real estate bubble or financial games, but on solid, world-leading hard-core technological strength!

This 'world number one' was of the highest quality!

"In conclusion."

Lin Yun stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. Though his voice wasn't loud, it was filled with majestic power.

"The era belonging to Eagle Sauce is completely over."

"From today onward, the rules of this world will be written by our Dragon Country!"

"And this is just the beginning."

"Our goal is to lead all of humanity off the Earth and into the universe!"

"To establish a true 'Community with a Shared Future for Mankind'!"

Lin Yun's words made everyone's blood boil!

Their eyes sparkled with infinite longing and fervor for the future!

"Leaving Earth!"

"Heading into the universe!"

"What a grand cause this will be!"

Just then, Xiao Zhang's communicator rang again.

After answering it and listening for a few moments, his expression became somewhat strange.

He walked over to Lin Yun and reported in a low voice:

"Reporting, Comrade Lin Yun."

"The newly inaugurated President of Eagle Sauce seems to have had a mental breakdown after watching our 'Torch Dragon' broadcast."

"He is currently shirtless on the airport tarmac, dancing while singing 'I Love the Dragon Country'."

"He also said he wants to apply for Dragon Country citizenship."

"Furthermore, he's requesting to meet you, hoping you can give him a chance to 'serve' you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire command center fell into a strange silence once again.

Everyone looked at Lin Yun as if looking at a 'monster.'

They truly couldn't imagine.

Just how powerful must a person be to drive the president of the world's number one superpower insane like this?

Lin Yun was also slightly taken aback, then he chuckled.

He shook his head, a meaningful curve appearing at the corners of his mouth.

"It seems breaking their backbone wasn't enough."

"We must also completely destroy their spiritual pillar."

"Very well."

Lin Yun's gaze drifted toward the azure sky outside the window, which had just been cleared by the 'Torch Dragon.'

"It's time to have a good talk with them about 'post-war reconstruction' and what kind of 'role' our Dragon Country should play in the world in the future."

"By the way, I should also ask them if they are interested in investing in or contributing to our Dragon Country's upcoming 'Interstellar Colonization' plan."
