39: The new Shenxin 001! The launch event has begun! 50,000 people are starting the countdown!

Lu Feng actually disagreed with this press conference.

His original plan was to secretly make chips on his own.

Then we would quietly work on Controllable Nuclear Fusion.

But Elder Sun would not allow it.

Because the day before,

when the 1-nanometer Lithography Machine was completed,

the first chip produced by Dragon Country itself

was urgently delivered to Elder Sun by armed helicopter.

Elder Sun looked at the small chip in his hand.

For some reason,

he suddenly burst into tears.

He couldn't help but cry.

It was as if this tiny chip in his hand

carried the entire future of Dragon Country.

Just as Elder Sun was overwhelmed with emotion,

Elder Wu walked in and saw this scene.

"Elder Sun, I strongly suggest we hold a press conference."

"Let those bastards see the strength of our Dragon Country now."

Elder Sun was still hesitant.

"This doesn't align with our usual low-key approach."

"And our main goal now is Controllable Nuclear Fusion."

"That hasn't been completed yet!"

"Hey!" Elder Wu directly interrupted Elder Sun.

"How about this."

"Let's call the other Elders together."

"Hold a meeting."

"To decide whether or not to hold this chip press conference?"

And so, Elder Sun convened a meeting of The Elders

to discuss whether Lu Feng's chip should be announced.

Elder Wu first presented his idea.

"I think this press conference is very necessary."

"First, for the people of our Dragon Country,"

"this is a great opportunity to boost morale."

"Second, it's a perfect chance to show other countries"

"our current technological strength."

"I believe many countries will come begging to buy our machines"

"after watching our press conference."

"We can sell them at high prices then."

"And impose a bunch of requirements on them too!"

"Let us have a taste of being the big shots!"

Elder Sun fell silent for a moment.

"I still think it's not very safe."

"I don't want Lu Feng exposed to the world too early."

"Lu Feng is still a super secret weapon"

"for our Dragon Country at present."

Elder Wu laughed:

"Elder Sun, you're just overthinking due to concern."

"We don't need Lu Feng to appear."

"For this chip development, we can publicly claim"

"it was researched by Elder Ji."

"Elder Ji has seniority and a long academic career."

"Saying he led the team to create it"

"will make everyone believe it."

"How about that?"

Elder Sun sighed, "I even think what you say makes some sense."

"Then let's vote."

"Raise your hand if you agree to hold the press conference."

In the meeting room, apart from Elder Sun,

all the other Elders raised their hands.

"You all!!"

"You all agree!" This shocked Elder Sun.

Sixth Elder said excitedly:

"Finally, we can hold our heads high."

"I really can't wait to see the expressions of those people from the USA and Japan."

"Yes!" Ninth Elder chimed in:

"I really want to see them utterly shocked."

"You don't know,"

"I heard outside that people are spreading rumors"

"saying we sent spies to steal technology from Netherlands"

"and then made a 5-nanometer Lithography Machine."

"But what they don't know is"

"our Lithography Machine is 1 nanometer!"

At this point, the Ten Elders simultaneously looked at the conference table,

at that small chip.

Clearly printed on it in Dragon Country characters was the serial number:

divine core 001.

Then everyone burst into laughter together... The entire press conference was held at the sports center that once hosted the Olympics.

It can accommodate 30,000 people at once.

Due to too many reporters,

and those who came on their own,

all the seats in the venue were actually already full.

Even the corridors and aisles were packed with reporters.

Not just foreign reporters,

many of Dragon Country's own reporters also came.

Many self-media influencers bought scalped tickets at high prices

to squeeze in and see Dragon Country's own manufactured chip.

At the same time, in their hearts, there was a hint of worry.

If it really was as the outside world said,

that Dragon Country's technology was stolen,

then they would truly lose face in front of the whole world.

Looking at those reporters with their cameras and equipment,

it seemed they had made full preparations for this moment!

So everyone's expressions were excited yet slightly fearful.

Under the intertwining of these two emotions,

the entire venue was extremely lively.

Some people began to whisper and discuss.

"I heard this press conference was decided at the last minute."

"Yes! Do you know who led the research project?"

"I know!"

"Didn't you see the official report?"

"Ji Zhengkang, Elder Ji!"

"It's him!" a teenager with a face full of acne said:

"I studied articles about Elder Ji when I was little."

"I never thought such a veteran Dragon Country scientist"

"is still silently working hard for our country's strength even now."

"If this chip was really made by Elder Ji,"

"I'll announce immediately!"

"I'll stop idolizing those foreign celebrities."

"From now on, Elder Ji will be the coolest, most awesome idol in my heart."

"Yes! Don't forget,"

"if our 5-nanometer chip is made,"

"we can make our own phones and computers!"

"Yes, yes!" a girl anxiously rubbed her hands.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

...Dragon Country Television Station's reporter occupied the very center of the venue.

Since it's our own Dragon Country's press conference,

our own reporters definitely get preferential treatment.

The beautiful female reporter's voice trembled slightly,

as if she was too excited to speak.

"Hello, everyone!"

"I'm Li Sisi."

"As you can see, behind me is the site of this press conference."

"To be honest, when we received the notice,"

"it was quite sudden."

"We only got the news three days ago."

"Although this press conference only gave us three days to prepare,"

"but!"

Li Sisi's tone suddenly rose.

"We Dragon Country people have been waiting for this moment"

"for over a hundred years."

As she spoke, Li Sisi raised her wrist

and looked at her watch.

"There are 15 minutes left until the press conference starts."

"What kind of shock and anticipation will our Elder Ji Zhengkang bring us this time?"

"Let's wait and see."

As soon as she finished speaking,

in the entire venue,

with a whoosh,

all the lights suddenly went out.

All the reporters on site fell silent.

Whoosh! Another sound.

A huge screen lit up.

A large countdown appeared on it.

The countdown read 9:58.

The countdown began.

Many people started softly calling out the countdown.

Then, as if it were contagious,

those around them also began to whisper it.

Then the voices grew louder

and louder.

Until finally,

the sound almost lifted the roof off the venue.

"6!"

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Boom!

Boom!!!
