57: A press conference that captivated the world's attention! A true national hero!

The scene of the Dragon Country's diplomatic press conference was spacious and bright.

Journalists from almost every country in the world had arrived.

They had set up their photographic equipment—a forest of long lenses and tripods—in front of them early on.

Excitement was written on every single person's face.

An irrepressible excitement.

Because Dragon Country had suddenly notified them.

That an announcement would be made regarding a matter closely related to all countries in the world.

Originally, such news wouldn't have attracted many countries.

But because not long ago, Dragon Country...

Had suddenly and quietly produced a 1-nanometer chip.

This sensational technological product.

And up until now, no country...

And no enterprise has been able to purchase the Divine Core Chip.

So many companies tried to contact Dragon Country.

But they were all rejected.

However, the reason for rejection was also very strange.

They didn't say they wouldn't sell the chips.

Nor did they specify a time for the sale.

In short, they gave ambiguous answers.

It left everyone's hearts itching with anticipation.

Many tech giants held emergency meetings.

At the same time, they decided to suspend the development of new products.

Waiting for new news about Dragon Country's chips.

This was a matter of having no other choice.

Because with the world's current technology, trying to within just a few years...

Produce a chip like the divine core.

Was absolutely impossible to achieve.

Therefore, they would rather wait for the divine core for a period of time.

Than waste useless manpower and material resources trying to research and catch up with divine core's 1-nanometer technology.

That would only make them a laughingstock.

Just when everyone was about to lose their patience.

Some people even began to repeatedly watch the previous press conference.

Using it to judge through some small details.

Whether the Divine Core Chip was a fraud.

Just when the whole world was confused.

Dragon Country suddenly released news.

That they would hold a press conference now.

To notify the world of a certain piece of news.

And they would answer questions from the journalists present on-site.

All the journalists craned their necks.

Waiting with eager anticipation.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Xu Tao straightened his collar.

Then he took a deep breath.

Loosened his tightly clenched fists.

And took another large gulp of water.

He had been the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Dragon Country for five years already.

He was no longer the novice he once was.

But at this moment, a rare look of nervousness still appeared on his face.

Because his task now was not simply to announce a piece of news.

He took another deep breath.

The words instructed by the Sixth Elder and the Great Elder surfaced in his mind.

"This time your task is to make the eyes of the whole world..."

"And all their attention focused on our divine core."

"The divine core will begin to be sold to the whole world!!"

"But how will it be sold?"

"Through what method will it be sold?"

"These all need to be discussed."

"Remember!" The Great Elder's gaze was as deep as water.

"There is only one ultimate goal."

"Which is to keep all the world's eyes on the divine core."

"And ignore the National Day that we are about to begin!"

"Can you complete it?"

At that time, Xu Tao raised his eyes, looking past the shoulders of the Great Elder and the Sixth Elder.

Looking behind them.

He saw the other eight elders casting expectant gazes toward him at the same time.

Xu Tao's chest heaved violently.

He blurted out:

"I guarantee to complete the mission."

"To attract the attention of the whole world."

Now!

Those words seemed to still echo in his ears.

Xu Tao stepped forward amidst the noisy chatter of the foreign journalists.

Slowly walking onto the podium.

From the moment Xu Tao stepped up.

Everyone fell silent.

Only the sound of shutters clicking continuously remained.

Along with the occasional flash of a camera bulb.

Xu Tao said in a clear voice:

"I have invited the journalists from various countries here today."

"To tell you all."

"Regarding the latest 1-nanometer Divine Core Chip researched by our Dragon Country."

"There is now the latest progress and news."

The scene remained silent.

Only the 'click-click' sound of shutters.

He believed that at this very moment.

The world's technological powers were all watching this live broadcast.

Then Xu Tao's voice continued to ring out:

"Through this period of production and manufacturing technology refinement."

"Our current divine core can now achieve large-scale mass production."

"Therefore!"

"We are prepared, while first satisfying domestic demand!"

"To sell the divine core to other countries in the world!"

As soon as he finished speaking!

Whoosh!

The journalists on site suddenly broke into an uproar.

Many people couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.

"They're going to sell the chip!"

"Is it to all countries?"

"No way?"

"That is almost equivalent to a 19th-century industrial revolution!"

"The world's high-tech industry will undergo a massive change!"

Xu Tao saw the reaction of these journalists.

He knew that saying this much was enough.

If he said too much, it wouldn't attract enough attention.

So he said calmly into the microphone:

"Next is the time for journalists' questions!"

Sure enough, the journalists who could no longer contain themselves all raised their hands.

Xu Tao randomly picked a journalist.

"Hello Minister Xu, I am a reporter from Voice of USA."

"I would like to ask, is our USA also in your list of countries for sale?"

Xu Tao's answer was very intriguing:

"We will be open to all friendly countries."

"If the USA is friendly."

"Then of course there is no problem."

The journalist felt that this answer didn't actually say whether they would sell it or not.

He wanted to ask more questions.

But Xu Tao looked at the next journalist.

"Next one."

This was a journalist from Netherlands.

His question was very specific and practical.

"May I ask what the specific time for selling the chips will be?"

Xu Tao smiled and said:

"The specific time will be within about this month."

"But as for which specific day."

"I think it should be after we finish celebrating our Dragon Country's National Day."

Xu Tao had one more sentence he didn't say out loud.

At that time, you will see a different Dragon Country.

It will surely blow your eyes out!

Journalists from different countries began to ask their own questions again.

The focus of all their questions revolved around...

Whether their own country could actually buy the chips.

Whoever could be the first to buy them...

Would immediately have the prerequisite conditions to research the current highest technology.

In the world of technology, it has always been that whoever seizes the initiative first...

Is the winner!

Seeing that the questions from the journalists present were almost finished.

Xu Tao coughed twice.

He threw out the rhetoric he had thought of beforehand.

He believed this sentence would surely shift everyone's attention completely onto the other party.

He said in a deep voice:

"But before officially selling the divine core."

"We plan to first sell chips to a certain subset of countries."

"To allow them to achieve major breakthroughs in their own tech industries."

After saying these few sentences.

Without waiting for the journalists on site to ask questions.

Xu Tao said decisively:

"Today's press conference ends here."

"Goodbye everyone!"

After saying that, he walked straight off the podium.

Disregarding the journalists below who kept shouting questions:

"I'm from Tesla!"

"May I ask when you will interface with us foreign enterprises?"

Journalists from many other tech companies had also come.

They didn't get a chance to ask questions.

They all shouted loudly at the scene.

May I ask which countries are the 'certain countries'?

Xu Tao didn't answer, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Which countries? That's what you'll need to explore in the time to come... Inside the Dragon Country Cabinet's Elder meeting room.

In this place of Dragon Country's highest power and decision-making.

Elder Sun and the other Ten Elders quietly finished watching the press conference.

Elder Sun slowly spoke:

"Very good!"

"Xu Tao did well!"

"Next, the attention of these Western countries will all be on the divine core."

"They will even suspect each other over which countries were the first to obtain our chips!"

Speaking of this.

The smile on Elder Sun's face spread out.

And at this time, the door to the meeting room slowly opened.

Elder Sun's voice was thick and full of vigor!

"Now, please welcome the chief engineer of our divine light project."

"The creator of the divine core chip!"

"Dragon Country's youngest national scholar!"

"Lu Feng!"
