"Knock, knock, knock!" The rapid knock on the door hit Shen Qiqi's heart like a drum.

Before she could react, Lu Qing rushed over and opened the door.

Outside the door, the village chief was panting, his face pale, and his lips trembling as he uttered a few words: "International...international forces...are going to take action against us!"

Shen Qiqi's heart tightened, and the spatula in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

She knew that the "foreshadowing" in the previous article had finally come.

The two quickly came to the village's technology research and development room, a small room converted from an old warehouse, carrying the hopes of the entire village.

At this moment, it seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and the air was filled with tension.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood at the door, their expressions as solemn as two door gods.

"These guys are actually playing dirty tricks!" Lu Qing cursed softly, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

They are well aware of the importance of technological development to the village, which is the only way for them to escape poverty and move towards prosperity.

In the R&D room, several young researchers were huddled around a simple machine with worried faces.

This machine was the result of several months of hard work, and it was on the verge of success. However, due to the technological blockade by international forces, the import of key components was stuck. They were like a chicken with its neck strangled, unable to move.

Villagers also gathered at the door of the R&D room one after another, whispering, and their worries spread rapidly like a virus.

"What should we do now? We have only had a few days of good life!" said an aunt with a sad face.

Shen Qiqi looked at the project that could not continue, her heart filled with anxiety.

In the past few months, she has been spending almost every day in the R&D room, researching and experimenting with these young people. She has already regarded this project as her own child.

Now, this "child" is in danger of dying, and it feels like being stabbed by a knife.

The suppressed emotions were like a huge net, wrapping her tightly and almost making it difficult for her to breathe.

Lu Qing noticed something was wrong with Shen Qiqi, and gently held her hand, giving her silent comfort.

He took a deep breath

"Qiqi," Lu Qing's voice was low and powerful, "We can't just give up like this!"

Shen Qiqi raised her head and her eyes met Lu Qing's.

She saw the determination in his eyes, but also the worry in his eyes.

She knew that they were facing a tough battle, a tough battle that would determine the fate of the entire village.

"We..." Shen Qiqi paused, "We can't rely on others..."

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and cleared her throat. The sound was not loud, but it was enough to quiet everyone present.

"My fellow villagers, we can't expect pie to fall from the sky, and we can't beg for mercy on our knees. Aren't they going to blockade us? Then let's do it ourselves and come up with something they've never seen before!"

The villagers looked at each other, confusion written all over their faces.

Do it yourself?

This sounds like a fantasy.

"Qiqi, this...is this possible? Aren't all the people in our village farmers? How could we have any experience in technology?" an old man asked tremblingly, with obvious worry in his tone.

Shen Qiqi did not answer directly, but smiled mysteriously, like a magician about to start a performance.

"Who says we only know how to farm? There are many hidden talents in our village. The things left by our ancestors are much better than those foreign gadgets!" She blinked mysteriously, successfully arousing the curiosity of the villagers.

"Village chief, go and dig out all the old things in the village, anything with words on it! We want to do some archaeology, no, we want to dig for treasure!" Shen Qiqi waved her hand proudly, with an expression as if she was going to "change my fate today", which made Lu Qing laugh.

Under Shen Qiqi's command, the villagers, though confused, still took action actively.

Soon, the village committee's yard was filled with old books, broken tools, and even ancestral prescriptions.

Looking at these "antiques", the villagers talked about it, and an atmosphere of doubt enveloped the entire village like smog.

"What...what are these? What use are they for?"

"That is to say, is it possible to develop an atomic bomb from these junk?"

Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi, rubbed her hair, and said softly: "Wife, what are you up to? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

Shen Qiqi smiled smugly, pointing to a worn-out agricultural book and saying, "What do you know? This is called 'learning from the barbarians to defeat them'! No, it's 'learning from our ancestors to defeat them'! Just wait and see!"

In the next few days, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing led the young people in the village to study these old objects day and night.

They are like a group of archaeologists, looking for sparks of inspiration in ancient texts and pictures.

Finally, while reading an ancient smelting book, they discovered a new principle.

This principle utilizes local unique minerals to generate a special energy that can be used to replace blocked key components.

"Wow, this is simply a magical operation!" The young people in the R&D room jumped up excitedly, and as if they had been injected with chicken blood, they re-invested in the research and development of scientific and technological projects.

A few days later, with the roar of the machine, a brand new component was manufactured and successfully installed on the machine.

The machine restarted and made a long-lost sound of operation.

The villagers cheered and an atmosphere of excitement filled the entire village.
