Chapter 10: Scientists who revitalize the nation



The emergence of carbon-based chips has completely reversed China's predicament of having no chips available. It overturned the world chessboard and rewrote the rules of the game, making those who once laughed the loudest no longer able to smile.

The executives who laughed without caring about anyone not long ago now sat at the press conference with faces as pale as the ground, unable to say a word like dogs who had lost their homes.

They lost the highest technological frontier in semiconductors, and what they lost was certainly not China's annual revenue of hundreds of billions of imports and exports of chips, nor was it the collapse of assets of a few groups, but the rewriting of the semiconductor ecosystem formed by countless countries united together!

The impact behind this is earth-shaking.

"We must stop China from being so arrogant!" In the office of the Minister of Science and Technology of Country E, a director of a semiconductor manufacturer said angrily: "China's carbon-based chips are being sold all over the world. This monopoly has violated the provisions of the monopoly law. They must hand over their patents and share this technology with the world!"

The Minister of Science and Technology leaned back in his office chair impatiently and asked the director in front of him: "Do you have the ability to make China spit out their technology? Otherwise, think of a way for me and tell me how to get them to give up their technology. "You can't pry out this treasure that spits out gold from their mouths?"

The director shouted, "You can unite several major countries to exclude them like before! Refuse to buy carbon-based chips! It's ridiculous that a great country like E wants to buy chips from a backward place like China! Don't you feel ashamed? !"

The director of the Science and Technology Department sneered and pointed at the director in front of him: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You don't want your chips to be unsold and you don't want your group's interests to be damaged, so you have to drag everyone down with you!"

"So what! The hundreds of billions of funds we donate to the government every year are not charity. If we collapse, the entire country will never be able to stand up again in the semiconductor industry! Only we can defeat that damn carbon-based chip! Only us!" The chairman roared, "You have benefited so much from us, you have an obligation to come up with a reliable solution at this time!"

Their group has poured all its efforts into silicon-based chips, not only chips, but also the subsequent research and development of chips, the production and research of mobile phones, computers, and any other high-tech equipment developed around chips, all of which have now become waste! If this matter is not handled properly, the entire group will be ruined and there will be no future at all!

The director of the Ministry of Science and Technology slammed the table in annoyance: "You don't have to tell us that we are also trying to find a way, but now the whole world is scrambling to buy Chinese chips. If we don't buy them, our technology will lag far behind the rest of the world! You expect us not to buy them, and not to tell other countries either, ha! Do you think everyone is a fool?! They would rather we not buy them, give up our share, and then take this opportunity to step on our heads!"

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to fly to China to sign the contract as soon as possible, find ways to buy a large number of carbon-based chips, and then replace the country's latest technology from silicon-based chips to carbon-based as soon as possible.

The minister said irritably: "China is no longer as weak as it was in the past. They are rising like a rocket! Don't you see that they are becoming more and more powerful in diplomacy? We have used so many means in recent years and have not been able to make them surrender. You actually expect to scare them with verbal threats! If you are so powerful, then you should take this position!"

The director was so angry that the minister continued: "After buying the chip, you should study the chip manufacturing process as soon as possible and strive to master this technology! China is so stupid that it is willing to sell the chip unconditionally. Let's make good use of this opportunity! Let it never be arrogant again!"

The director rolled his eyes: "That's a carbon-based chip! Even if you let Nobel scholars from all over the world come, they may not be able to come up with something that only exists in theory!"

"Then go and learn!" the minister said bluntly: "Send a large number of experts over to exchange ideas and serve as their OEM factories. You should do what China did to master silicon-based chips!"

"You actually want us to be OEM factories?! We are the best semiconductor group in the world!!" The director was furious.

"It was the 'once' best semiconductor group! Now that silicon-based chips have become a thing of the past, we must become the loyal supporters of carbon-based chips and seize the front row of the new track! Otherwise, will we still have a say in the world in the future?!" The director said angrily: "Don't cry to me about your pitiful self-esteem here. China came step by step like this. They have been a world power for thousands of years, and in recent years they have been able to swallow their anger and chase after us for so long. You have only been the number one in the century for decades. What dignity can't you let go of!"

The director gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. After a long time, he could only accept this cruel reality and warned the director of the Science and Technology Department: "You are raising a tiger to harm yourself! You are cutting your own flesh to feed your opponents!"

"Enough! Shut up! I know the dangers here better than you do!"

While China is manufacturing chips for other countries, it is also accumulating more experience. All of this experience was provided to them by others with money, and they have no losses! Moreover, they can use this money and experience to invest in the next round of research and development and improvement, further expand their own advantages, to ensure that their leading position will not be threatened, and form a very good virtuous circle.

On the contrary, the research and development of Country E has completely stagnated. As one grows and the other declines, the gap between the two sides will only get bigger and bigger, and they will never catch up.

This used to be the advantage of Yu Xi of Country E and their capital of pride, but now it has completely become China's advantage!

But country E has no choice but to grit its teeth and spend a huge amount of money to buy it, otherwise it will only lose more miserably in international competitions.

The minister said: "We have the most and best talents from all over the world. They can help us quickly narrow the gap. When it comes to researching new technologies, we are never afraid of anyone!"

The director said bitterly: "Come on, do you think China has no talents? The achievements China has made in the past year are the result of their continuous efforts in the past few decades! Those people can work without food and drink for the rise of their motherland! And what do we have? You expect a group of people who come to us because of money and benefits. Our people, to work for us? Have you forgotten Si Qi? The world's best mathematician who solved eight world-class problems!"

The face of the director of the Science and Technology Department froze, and the director continued to sarcastically said: "I can't believe that Si Qi came from our country. You let him return to China and fight against us. I really don't know what your investigation department is doing!"

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into the most difficult part of the director's heart, making his face turn blue and white.

After the director left with a sour face, the minister immediately picked up the phone and said maliciously to his subordinate on the other end of the phone: "I remember that the one who deliberately let Si Qi run away was his classmate, a guy named Qian?"

"Maybe not intentional? Ha! Ridiculous! I am 100% sure that this was his conspiracy! He let a dozen classmates stay to divert our attention from Si Qi, and deceived us for so long that we cultivated him as one of our own!"

"I don't care that he changed his nationality and is now a citizen of our E country, it must be his trick! He wants us to let down our guard against him!"

The minister slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's better to be an E countryman! We are not as gentle to our people as China is! I want him to feel how reasonable our E country's law enforcement procedures are!"

"Get him out of the institute immediately! Let him know that fooling us will cost him blood!"

Less than ten minutes after the order was issued, Qian Lu, who was still leisurely savoring the sweet aroma of coffee in the office of the institute, was suddenly forcibly lifted up from his chair by a group of fully armed soldiers.

"Hey! What are you doing! Let's talk it over!" Qian Lu shouted in panic.

"We have nothing to say to you, a yellow monkey." The strong man punched Qian Lu in the abdomen with gravity, causing him to bend his body and spit out blood. Then countless people rushed forward, punched and kicked him while he was lying on the ground, and slapped him hard by the hair.

A tooth was knocked out, and Qian Lu screamed and begged for mercy, repeatedly saying "Why", "I am your compatriot", "Police! Call the police!", but the colleagues standing outside with their arms around their shoulders pointed at Qian Lu with a smile on their faces, laughing.

He was surrounded and beaten by dozens of people for nearly half an hour, and no one came to help him. The security personnel threw him to the side of the road and spit at him several times.

"This is not true. Here are the most advanced concepts and the most equal ideas... I am not wrong... I am not wrong..."

After half an hour of beating, Qian Lu had already realized something, but he dared not admit it. He got up slowly from the ground in a daze, his head was dizzy and he seemed to have a concussion. At this moment, he was dizzy and could not see the scene in front of him clearly.

He blinked hard and tried to make his bruised eyelids as

big as possible. He took out his mobile phone with difficulty and wanted to ask his classmates for help. However, the mobile phone seemed to be broken. No matter what he did, he could not open the address book. It even opened the network uncontrollably, and all kinds of texts and videos popped up automatically.

Qian Lu was a little dazed, looking at the screen. The next second, he was struck by lightning, and his face turned pale and trembling as he read the content on the screen.

The screen clearly described the historical records of China being invaded by other countries, and how foreigners bullied the Chinese, insulted the Chinese as second-class citizens, and trampled on Chinese land and killed countless Chinese.

Photos, information, and even videos, each one was so bloody and horrifying.

Obviously, these were all things taught in class, and Qian Lu knew them better than anyone else, but he had always turned a blind eye to them, and his mind was full of thoughts about throwing himself into the arms of the enemy so that he could live a better life.

The content on the phone jumped more and more, and the lines of text and pictures deeply stimulated his nerves.

His face was pale, and he no longer had the courage to face all this. He raised his hand in despair, smashed his phone to the ground, and then stood up with the help of the wall, and walked breathlessly towards his rented house.

But when he got there, he found that his landlord had thrown all his books and clothes onto the street with a gloomy face. The things were stepped on by the shoes of passers-by, leaving footprints one by one, and there were even traces of being pressed back and forth by car tires.

Qian Lu's eyes went dark, and he rushed up to stop him in anger: "Stop! What right do you have to throw my things out!"

"I don't want to rent the house to you, what's the matter!" The landlord, who was tall and strong, as strong as three Qian Lu, pushed Qian Lu and made him stagger back.

"The government found me and said you are a spy sent from abroad. You damned bastard, get out of here or I will beat you to death!"

The landlord raised his thigh-like arm and punched Qian Lu's head.

Qian Lu was so scared that he dodged back and was furious. He roared, "Bullshit! I am obviously from Country E! I have left so many talents for Country E and have done so many bad things for Country E. I have always been targeting my own country! If I am a spy, I am also a spy from Country E!"

The landlord kicked Qian Lu in the body, knocking him over. Fortunately, he did not fall under the wheels of a passing car.

"Shut up! You damn bastard! We won't do that!"

"I really did it!!" Qian Lu yelled in grievance.

"Then you have to move out of my house. I don't accept scumbags here! I don't accept traitors!" The landlord said with contempt: "You can even betray the motherland that raised you, how can you prove that you won't betray it a second time!"

Qian Lu listened to these words, looked at the mess of supplies on the ground, and felt dizzy.

He searched the ground with a livid face, but he didn't find anything valuable. He asked, "Where's my money?"

The landlord rolled his eyes and said, "Of course it was taken away. Who knows if it's your working capital?"

Qian Lu shook his body, clenched his fists and shouted, "Then give me back my rent!"

The landlord sneered, "Dream on! If the next tenant knows what you do, they will definitely dislike you and don't want to stay here. You must compensate me for this loss."

Qian Lu was so angry that he cursed, "There is no such ridiculous provision in the law! I will call the police and put you in jail!"

"Haha!" The landlord laughed out loud after hearing Qian Lu's words, and mocked, "You are already on the blacklist of our country, and you still expect the law to protect you? I tell you, even if I beat you up here, no one will care whether you live or die! There will be no police to help you!"

Qian Lu was chilled to the bone. He looked at the arrogant landlord opposite him, and a feeling of helplessness weighed on his heart, making him almost unable to breathe.

He tightened and loosened his fists, and suddenly, he took a deep breath, raised his head abruptly, and said to the landlord, "I am Chinese!"

The landlord's face changed subtly.

Qian Lu said viciously: "Return my rent immediately, otherwise I will contact the Chinese embassy and let them seek justice for me!"

The landlord was suddenly speechless: "......"

Qian Lu shouted and urged: "Hurry up!"

The landlord did not know that Qian Lu had changed his nationality. Thinking of China's consistent protective behavior in the international arena, the landlord spat at Qian Lu unwillingly, took out a few crumpled coins from his pocket, threw them on the ground, and said to Qian Lu: "Get out!"

Qian Lu looked at the coins silently, and stared at the mess around him with a wolfish look, and suddenly lost all his strength. He knelt on the ground exhausted, holding his head and crying.

Some classmates heard the news and came here, just watching him cry silently, and did not think of coming to help him.

Suddenly one of them said, "Let's go back."

Another frowned and said, "Where to go back, to China? It's too embarrassing to go back now..."

"It's shameful that you can't even be strong as a human being." The man who spoke said in a cold tone: "You have also seen what happened to Qian Lu. We will never make it here in our lifetime and will always be discriminated against. And China's future will never be worse than Country E, and it has even shown signs of surpassing Country E. Going back is the wisest choice."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

"That's true."

"If we had known it would be like this, we should have followed Si Qi back from the beginning."

"It was Qian Lu, the turtle grandson, who deceived us and tricked us into staying."

"Let's go, don't worry about him. If we still have contact with him after we go back, we can't wash it off even if we jump into the Yellow River."

Qian Lu looked at the group of people turning around and leaving, and sat on the ground helplessly.

People were coming and going around him, but no one stopped for him.

It was as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

He covered his eyes, his shoulders trembling as he laughed. He laughed at his own stupidity, his own absurdity, and the fact that everything he did was so ridiculous.

He laughed until he started crying.
