38: Any country that can produce 5 nanometers within a month must be a thief!

One month later!

9:30 AM!

News channels in the USA suddenly began broadcasting breaking news.

A blonde, blue-eyed Female Host sat in front of the television.

She revealed neat, snow-white teeth to the camera.

"According to information our reporters have obtained from the front lines,"

"Dragon Country is about to hold a press conference."

"This press conference concerns the latest technology."

"The Lithography Machine in the chip manufacturing industry."

"However, according to information my reporters have obtained from the front lines,"

"this time, Dragon Country's press conference."

"The Lithography Machine technology they present was not developed through their own research."

At this point, the Female Host's lips curled upward.

Revealing a mocking smile.

"Now let's connect with our reporter on the scene."

"Mr. Thomas."

"Let's have the control room directly connect with Thomas."

As she spoke,

a small window appeared on the television screen.

Inside this small window appeared a male reporter.

A very tall male reporter.

The Female Host shouted to the camera:

"Hello, Thomas."

"Are you currently at the site of Dragon Country's Lithography Machine press conference?"

"Yes! Host."

The male reporter stood in front of a huge square.

Behind him was precisely Dragon Country's Lithography Machine press conference.

The male reporter pointed behind himself.

"Now everyone can see."

"Behind us is the site of this Lithography Machine press conference."

"We were among the first to receive Dragon Country's invitation."

"The press conference will begin in one hour!"

"Good!" The Female Host smiled.

She continued:

"This time, Dragon Country's chip manufacturing industry began just one month after our sanctions bill."

"What level has Dragon Country's Lithography Machine technology reached now?"

"Is it possible that within just one month,"

"they have reached the world's current top level?"

The Female Host paused.

Then she said:

"We are all laypeople."

"For this reason, we have invited an expert in Lithography Machines from Netherlands."

"Mr. Wayne Smith."

As she spoke, the host's screen began a live connection with the expert from Netherlands.

This three-way connection.

On one side, the host's news channel continuously conveyed the latest information.

On another side, the reporter on the scene provided real-time coverage.

And then, a genuine expert was added for commentary.

All three together.

It could be said they were very attentive to Dragon Country's press conference.

The Female Host asked:

"Hello! Professor Smith!"

"I would like to ask, is it possible."

"For a country that has never produced a Lithography Machine."

"Or a research institution."

"To produce something as high-tech as a Lithography Machine within just one month."

The Female Host added one more sentence here.

"Of course, I am not an expert in this field."

"Professor Smith participated in the research and development of the first-generation Lithography Machine."

"And is currently involved in the team for mass production and manufacturing of chips below 7 nanometers."

"So he is the most authoritative professor."

Smith's hair was very thick.

Clearly different from the average scholar.

Glowing with health, obviously in very good spirits.

Smith first smiled slightly, displaying his good upbringing.

Then he said:

"Based on my decades of research."

"Wanting to make a breakthrough in such a high-precision industry as chips within just one month."

"The possibility is almost zero!"

"Actually, I can say it is absolutely zero."

"But!" Smith smacked his lips.

"We in scientific research mainly emphasize rigor."

"So I cannot say it is completely zero."

"Everyone may not know."

"Although chip manufacturing looks like just a small piece."

"It almost represents the highest technological level of humanity today."

The Female Host interrupted at this point:

"Then, Professor Smith."

"Does that mean Dragon Country's upcoming press conference about the Lithography Machine is not based on their own research?"

"Hmm!" Smith nodded.

Then shook his head.

"It cannot be said that way."

"I do not know the level of Dragon Country's scientific research."

"But we cannot rule out."

"That before the USA imposed sanctions on them."

"Dragon Country had already conducted long-term research in the field of Lithography Machines."

"And only made a breakthrough today!"

The Female Host smiled again.

As if this was exactly what she wanted to hear.

She followed the voice in her earpiece.

Although these professors are all intellectuals.

During interviews and exchanges.

They easily fall into the traps set by professional hosts like her.

The Female Host continued to ask:

"Then if a country has never produced a Lithography Machine."

"And has never been involved in this field."

"Is it possible for them to directly develop 5 nanometer chips?"

"How many?" Professor Smith rubbed his ears.

"5 nanometers!" The Female Host repeated.

"Impossible!" Professor Smith's face flushed with excitement.

"This is exactly the project we are currently researching."

"We started from 14 nanometers."

"Then moved to 7 nanometers."

"All the way to the current 5 nanometers."

"Do you know how many years this has taken?"

"How much research funding we have spent?"

"And how much manpower and resources?"

"A country that has never done it before."

"Wanting to directly produce 5 nanometers!"

"A fool's dream!" Smith waved his hands repeatedly.

This time, he even forgot his earlier mention of a Scientist's rigor.

Directly and decisively saying:

"Absolutely impossible!"

"The possibility is absolutely zero!"

"Good!" The Female Host laughed.

"Then, Professor Smith, since you say it is absolutely zero."

"Do you think there is a possibility."

The Female Host's voice became low.

"That they stole someone else's technology."

"And then developed it themselves."

"That way, they wouldn't have to start from scratch."

"Directly stealing the 5 nanometer technology that others worked hard to develop."

Upon hearing this, Smith was instantly stunned.

"Directly steal!!!"

"It's possible!"

"If a country that has never made a Lithography Machine."

"Suddenly produces 5 nanometer chips within a month."

"Then there can only be one possibility."

"That is theft!"

"Stealing someone else's technology!"

"This is the most shameless, most despicable behavior in our scientific research community."

"Good! Then, Professor Smith." The Female Host revealed a triumphant smile.

"Let's watch Dragon Country's press conference together!"

The male reporter listened to the conversation between the Female Host and Professor Smith.

Now it was finally his turn.

He smiled at the camera.

"Alright, now let me take everyone into the venue."

...At the same time, this grand press conference.

Also had reporters from other countries.

Everyone hurriedly walked toward the venue.

They were not prepared for Dragon Country suddenly holding such a press conference.

Only a few countries received advance notice.

They did not expect Dragon Country would dare to hold a press conference.

Since you dare to hold it.

Then we will take advantage of this press conference.

To make Dragon Country, this country that steals others' achievements.

In front of the entire world.

Lose face.

Be too ashamed to show their faces!
