Fang Zheng had carefully planned to choose the Kingdom of Liberl as his base.

Of course, he understood very well what consequences would result from the invention of a technology that would shock the entire world.

If it is released in the Empire or the Republic, then the two countries may use their powerful forces to force the technology itself to be banned. This is not surprising, after all, there were similar treaties during the Cold War. No one wants to give technology that will make them stronger to other countries, let alone countries with similar strength.

However, for Fang Zheng, as the god of games, this is the fundamental basis of his layout. If you don't lay it out for me, it will affect my pay-to-win game business. Fang Zheng will not agree to this.

So in Founder's view, if he wants to get started, he has to choose a third party other than these two.

At first, Fang Zheng chose Crossbell, after all, it was the intersection of finance and trade between the two countries, but after personally inspecting it, Fang Zheng crossed it out. Although Crossbell was prosperous and lively, there were undercurrents underneath, and Crossbell was at best just a dog raised by two big countries. If Fang Zheng let it go here, the two countries would definitely put pressure on Crossbell, and Crossbell would definitely not be able to bear it and sell itself out - Fang Zheng didn't even have to think about it.

So in the end, Fang Zheng chose the Kingdom of Liberl.

Compared to Crossbell, the Kingdom of Liberl is also located between two great powers. However, unlike Crossbell, which is simply a dog, the Kingdom of Liberl is more independent and has a history of the "Hundred Days War" against imperial aggression. For Fang Zheng, the Kingdom of Liberl is a very good choice. It is not weak, but it is not strong enough to break the hegemony of the two countries. This also ensures from another level that even if the Kingdom of Liberl obtains Fang Zheng's guidance technology, it will not have the ambition to change the battle between the two heroes into the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Peace, peace is the most important thing. After all, only when there is peace will people want to spend money to play games.

Fang Zheng naturally hopes to have a pleasant cooperation with the Kingdom of Liberl, but if it turns out to be unhappy...well, whoever makes him unhappy will be unhappy himself.

The arrival of Dr. Russell was a pleasant surprise for Fang Zheng, but in fact, even if Russell didn't come, Fang Zheng was going to find a connection to bring him over. After all, this doctor was the leader of the Liberl Orbital Revolution. Although he looked like a crazy genius inventor with a neurotic look now, Fang Zheng didn't think that someone who could reach this level would be just a simple scientific researcher.

Just like Edison, everyone's first reaction is that he is a respected great inventor, but the group of filmmakers in Hollywood must wish that the grass on his grave is three feet high.

In any field, those who can reach the top are all ruthless people who have fought through blood and gore. Scientific research competition is equally cruel, sometimes even crueler than war. In war, at least both sides use knives and guns, and even if they cannot win, they still fight to the death. However, scientific research is different. A group of you have spent a year of hard work and time on it, but others have released the results ahead of time. This means that all your hard work, money, and brain cells for this year have been wasted. It is a complete sunk cost, and there is no reward except to comfort yourself that you have some "work experience".

Especially for a "genius inventor" like Dr. Russell, you don't have to think about how many researchers died at his hands, how many corpses were left everywhere and how much blood was shed, and how much money was wasted... If you really think that a scientist who is completely ignorant of the ways of the world and relies solely on his quirks and talent can reach the level of Dr. Russell, then you are dreaming.

Of course, there are genius inventors with eccentric personalities. We all saw what happened to Stella.

It is just a common imagination that scientists are unworldly and detached from worldly matters. Indeed, maybe scientists are detached from worldly matters, but the money he earns from experiments doesn't fall from the sky, right?

Unless he is a mathematician.

"So what you're saying is that you're willing to work with Chase Central Workshop to manufacture those devices and then sell them?"

"Of course, considering the situation of this kind of equipment, we can also sign an agreement to sell it only to regular companies and institutions in various countries..."

The status of Chase Central Workshop in the Kingdom of Liberl is basically the same as that of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If Fang Zheng can cooperate with Chase Central Workshop through Dr. Russell, it will be a good choice.

"Well... why would you do this? You should be well aware that this will give up a lot of profits."

"Of course, but money is not an issue for me, and to be honest, I'm not interested in messing around."

"I think what you've done is already a mess."

What Dr. Russell was talking about was naturally the Little Overlord invented by Fang Zheng. He had just taken a look at the equipment in the entire electronic entertainment city. The only thing Russell could say about this was... he was completely speechless.

"I just want to live my life in peace, Dr. Russell."

Fang Zheng spread his hands.

"I know as well as you what impact this kind of thing will have on the entire continent of Semlia, but we are only responsible for selling the equipment for manufacturing guide plates and chips. As for whether those countries buy the equipment to make weapons or for daily use, I don't care, and I don't want to care - do you understand what I mean? Personally, I like peace. And for me, games come first."

He is the god of games after all.

"You're so weird. There are obviously more interesting things."

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Maybe you can't understand it, but for me, studying games is more fun."

"All right."

Perhaps because he was convinced by Fang Zheng, Dr. Russell nodded.

"I will take you to see Maddock, and you can discuss it with him yourself."

"Thank you very much."

Hearing Dr. Russell's answer, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

His first goal has now been achieved.

Dr. Russell was also a man of decisive character. The next morning, he brought Fang Zheng to the Chase Central Workshop to meet with Maddock.

"I have heard from Dr. Russell about your plans, Mr. Founder."

The workshop director Maddock is a man who looks to be around 40 or 50 years old, with his hair combed back and a dignified look. Compared to Dr. Russell, he gives people the feeling of being more like a technical bureaucrat - this is also normal, as similar positions in most research institutes are held by these people.

"But with all due respect, are you really planning to cooperate with Chase Central Workshop?"

“I think it’s a very appropriate choice.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand, sat on the chair and looked at the workshop manager in front of him.

"I don't mind telling you, Mr. Maddock. I think you can see that if we openly manufacture and sell the equipment, there will be a lot of orders. But Starlight Technology is just a small workshop, and we don't have enough production to meet the needs of other countries. In comparison, Chase Central Workshop has more experience in this area. And I also told Dr. Russell that we prefer to focus on the development and sales of gaming equipment, and are not very interested in those boring things."

"Boring things..."

Hearing this, the head of the Maddock workshop also turned pale. But perhaps because of the presence of Dr. Russell, an equally weird inventor, he only glanced at the old man and then looked away.

Then Workshop Master Madok pondered for a moment.

"Although this is my duty, this matter is of great importance..."

After all, they were all insiders, so they naturally knew how terrifying the equipment Fang Zheng was going to bring out was. To put it bluntly, this was actually no different from bringing a set of nuclear bomb manufacturing equipment to ask for cooperation. Once the equipment manufactured by the Starlight Workshop was announced, it could be enough to affect the situation of the entire continent. In this case, even if Maddock was the workshop manager of the Chase Central Workshop, he had no power to decide this matter.

"Let's do this."

Finally, Workshop Master Madok made the decision.

"I will report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen and she will make the decision."

"Her Majesty?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Yes, this is beyond my authority... Also, Her Majesty the Queen doesn't know much about Orbital Technology. I hope you can use this Orbital Plate to make something useful, so that we can explain it to Her Majesty the Queen, at least..."

Having said that, Maddock glanced at the Little Overlord beside him.

"At least... we can't let Her Majesty the Queen think that this thing can only be used as a toy."

“It’s very simple.”

Fang Zheng was obviously prepared for this. He reached out, put a black rectangular bag beside him on the table, and then opened it.

"What's this?"

Watching Fang Zheng open the bag, Madoc was stunned for a moment. He had seen the black rectangular bag that Fang Zheng placed next to him before. Originally, Madoc thought it was just a briefcase, but when Fang Zheng opened it, Madoc found that the inside was completely different. It was not hollow, but divided into two layers, the lower layer was a keyboard similar to that used in a computing terminal, and the upper layer was a smooth crystal slab.

"This is the laptop I made using the force-guided plate. Well, in your words, it's a portable computing terminal."

"What? So small?!"

Although Maddock had seen Founder's Subor game console before, it was just a game console after all, and its functions were quite limited, so he could understand why it was made so small.

But now…

“For now, this is all we can do.”

Fang Zheng certainly didn't tell the truth. In fact, with the force-guided plate and chip manufacturing technology he currently possessed, he could completely manufacture something like the alien tablet phone.

But isn't it a basic operation to release the first chapter of the game first, and then sell the rest as DLC? Just like a toothpaste factory squeezing toothpaste, can't you make more money by upgrading later?

Why would I release the 960 with integrated graphics now, when I could have started with the 286?

Isn't it nice to earn two bucks?

At the same time, accompanied by the familiar startup music, under the surprised gaze of Maddock and Dr. Russell, the black slate in front of them suddenly lit up, and the logo of Starlight Technology emerged. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the new era.
