59: The throne of the world's number one superpower is about to change hands!!

Before, the long string of numbers Lu Feng had mentioned...

The Elders present hadn't felt much.

But when Lu Feng's final sentence revealed that one ton of tritium could power a large city for 479 years...

All The Elders looked at each other in dismay.

Their eyes widened.

One after another, they sucked in a cold breath.

They could do the math.

Currently, urban electricity consumption was the main bulk.

The primary function was thermal power generation, and the energy source consumed most was coal.

Moreover, the amount Dragon Country mined itself wasn't quite enough.

Currently, coal still needed to be imported from some major countries.

It was no small expense.

So, the money saved from this sector alone!

That would be an astronomical figure!!!

The Sixth Elder, who was in charge of the economy, had already silently begun to calculate the accounts in his heart.

Looking at the shocked Elders on the scene,

Lu Feng didn't know why, but he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

It was still the Great Elder who was the first to react from the shock.

"Then Lu Feng, tell us in detail."

"Which steps should we start with?"

"Alright!"

Lu Feng nodded.

He took out his laptop.

He began connecting it to the projector.

"Next!"

"On the day of Dragon Country's National Day,"

"I will present a gift to the motherland!"

The Ten Elders held their breath and looked at the projector... Meanwhile, at the USA's White House.

Biden was losing his temper at his secretary in a fit of rage.

"Fuck!"

"motherfucker."

"What do they mean they'll only sell to 'friendly countries'?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Who is the Dragon Country's Minister of Foreign Affairs implying?"

"Fuck!"

"Quickly, get me a line to the Allies!"

The secretary was somewhat frightened by Biden's behavior.

He was even afraid that Biden might have a repeat of last time.

That was when, due to emotional agitation, he failed to control his urge to use the bathroom.

He had started an excretion performance right there on the scene.

It was recorded plain as day by reporters from various countries.

Biden glared at the secretary.

At this moment, he definitely had to find those Allies capable of manufacturing chips.

The secretary quickly answered.

"Yes, sir!"

Immediately, the heads of those countries were connected.

There were connection protocols between the USA and its Allies.

These presidents could, in the shortest time possible,

Hold a video conference.

And it was over an absolutely top-secret line.

Soon, the face of the Japan's Prime Minister, Aten Wenshiong, appeared on the screen.

Then, on the other side, was Surak of the United Kingdom.

And the Prime Minister of Netherlands, Marco.

This time, the president of a new country also joined.

That was the president of Italy, Franco.

The several of them greeted each other simultaneously.

Then they focused their attention on Biden.

They wanted to see what kind of urgent matter

This holder of the USA's highest power would have.

Biden looked at the various presidents and Prime Ministers.

For now, he was the supreme representative of the world's highest-tech nation.

Biden spoke first:

"Everyone has watched Dragon Country's press conference, right?"

"Which of you is planning to cooperate with Dragon Country?"

"I've heard that quite a few developing countries already"

"Have sent their ambassadors to Dragon Country."

"They want to get a head start in Dragon Country's upcoming chip sales."

Aten Wenshiong gave a cold laugh:

"They are just a bunch of ignorant people."

"Let them go."

"Without technical support, they will only become Dragon Country's OEM factories."

"So what if they buy the chips?"

"If they can't make them themselves, won't Dragon Country just sell them for whatever high price they want?"

"They can sanction you whenever they want?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Biden felt like Aten Wenshiong was implying something about him.

Before he could react,

Among these developed countries, the Prime Minister of Netherlands, which had the smallest volume, was the first to understand.

From the moment Biden connected the video with him

And was the first to raise the question,

He already knew what Biden was currently thinking.

So he was the first to say:

"As the world's largest manufacturing and producing country of Lithography Machines,"

"I will be the first to state my position."

"We will not contact Dragon Country at the first opportunity."

"Not only will we not contact them, but we will also increase our efforts and funding."

"Investing into our own country's chip research."

"To further enhance the capability of Lithography Machines."

"To suppress the situation where Dragon Country is about to dominate the chip industry alone!"

"And form a strong competition against them."

Hearing the Netherlands's Prime Minister's statement,

Biden was very satisfied.

He couldn't help but nod.

This was the effect he wanted.

As long as these developed countries were currently on his side,

Then Dragon Country's so-called chip sales to pull in cooperation from other countries worldwide,

thereby forming a threat to his USA alliance,

this plan would fall through.

This was the scheme Biden currently saw from Dragon Country's chip sales press conference.

Thinking they could use high-tech chips to win over other developing countries in the world,

To stand together against my USA.

Do you think that's possible?

I can only say you, Dragon Country, are dreaming too beautifully!!

Just as Biden's thoughts were drifting away,

Suddenly, the Netherlands's Prime Minister Marco's next words made Biden very uncomfortable.

Marco suddenly showed a face full of difficulty.

"However, recently our Lithography Machines have been affected by Dragon Country's Lithography Machine press conference."

"Especially their 1nm technology."

"Although they haven't started selling yet,"

"Many large international enterprises have already reduced their purchase volume of our Lithography Machines."

"Also, some companies that had signed contracts,"

"When the contracts expired, they didn't have any intention of continuing to renew."

"The economic impact of this on our Netherlands now cannot be said to be small."

"Then the money we invest in Lithography Machine research in the future will be very little..."

Biden instantly understood Marco's meaning.

This person was taking the opportunity to blackmail him.

Asking him for money.

If it were in the past,

Biden wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention at all.

But now, facing the menacing situation from Dragon Country,

Biden felt he could temporarily compromise.

So he said:

"Marco, regarding the issue of your Netherlands's funds and researchers,"

"We can continue to negotiate on that."

"We in the USA will take action."

"Good!" Marco wanted exactly that sentence.

His face was beaming with joy.

The United Kingdom's Prime Minister Surak, however, had a serious face.

"For now, Dragon Country's high technology is too strong."

"Our Ministry of Defense has already set up a special team."

"To analyze and respond to their next moves."

"However, I am still inclined to buy their chips first,"

"And reach a cooperation with Dragon Country."

The president of Italy, Franco, also nodded.

"I agree with Surak's statement."

"Currently, we in Italy are still willing to establish contact with Dragon Country."

"But!"

Franco continued:

"We are Allies."

"We should have a united front."

"If Dragon Country has any unfavorable situation against any of our countries,"

"We should unite."

"Right!" Aten Wenshiong nodded hurriedly.

"That's exactly what I'm thinking."

"Good!" Biden nodded, feeling greatly comforted.

Allies must be united!

The purpose of this talk had been achieved.

Biden said a final summary sentence.

"Next, I hope everyone will focus their intelligence on Dragon Country's chip war."

"Don't forget."

"A war without smoke is the most lethal!"

Then, the heads of the world's powerful nations ended the video connection... Just as the video connection was hung up,

The smiling face of Netherlands's Prime Minister Marco immediately changed.

He became serious.

He said to his secretary:

"Immediately have the Minister of Economy come to see me."

"And the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

"We need to build a good relationship with Dragon Country in secret."

"Huh?" The secretary couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise!

"But! Just now, the video connection with President Biden..."

Marco gave a cold laugh and urged:

"Go and do your job first!"

"Oh, oh!" The secretary agreed and quickly walked out.

Behind him came the sound of Marco murmuring to himself.

"I have a premonition!"

"The throne of the world's number one superpower might be about to change owners!"
