"A person's life, isn't it all about money?" Wang Shu replied.
"But all the money you earn is donated to the poor!" Lu Nan exposed Wang Shu's lie on the spot.
He had used some resources to investigate Wang Shu and found that this guy worked desperately to earn money, yet lived a difficult life himself. When he discovered this result, he was shocked. He had never imagined that there were people like Wang Shu in the world. All the hard-earned money was donated to impoverished groups, while he himself still wore clothes bought from street stalls and ate the cheapest meals, living nothing like a celebrity.
"Brother Lu Nan, what are you talking about? How could I donate money to others? I am extremely fond of money!" Upon hearing Lu Nan's words, Wang Shu couldn't help but be stunned, and then he said directly.
"If you don't want to admit it, then I won't force you. But you'd better think carefully. The environment of the world competition is not like home. There are many despicable tactics there!" Seeing Wang Shu's intention to conceal and refuse to admit, Lu Nan no longer continued, but still earnestly advised him.
"Thank you for your concern, Captain Lu. I will pay attention!" Wang Shu responded with a smile. He understood that Lu Nan was acting for his own good. The so-called world competition sounded glorious, but behind such world-class competitions, there was naturally no shortage of intrigue and hidden struggles. Unlike the hobbies of these rich second-generation individuals, those people made a living from this profession. Therefore, if someone threatened their livelihood, they would naturally do anything.
After dinner, Lu Nan and a few others planned to stay in Jiangnan for two days before returning to the capital. Wang Shu felt somewhat out of place with this group of rich second-generation individuals, so he took his leave early and returned to his hotel. This was because tomorrow was the grand finale of "Masked Singer" for this season, and he needed to prepare in advance.
...
At the same time, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, located in the capital, had been working intensely for several consecutive days, and their faces were somewhat gaunt. Fortunately, the final stages of this project had just been completed.
"Comrades, through our continuous efforts, this Azure Dragon drone project has now been successfully concluded. However, our mission is not yet complete because we need to maintain secrecy regarding this project after its completion! No matter who it is, we must not mention a single word about this project to them!" At the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Director Qi Guo spoke to his subordinates with a serious expression. Because of the project's enormous impact on the nation and the world, they could not leak even the slightest bit of information.
"Director Qi, I thank the Academy of Sciences for their cooperation during this period. On behalf of the military, I express my gratitude to you!" A man in military uniform with three stars on his shoulder saluted Qi Guo directly. The man was a few years older than Qi Guo, and the excitement and gratitude on his face at this moment were difficult to conceal.
"We are all serving the people, so let's not talk about these things. We can also strengthen our cooperation in the future. The doors of our Academy of Sciences are always open to the People's Liberation Army!" Qi Guo also said generously. Although this research project brought no substantial benefits to their Academy of Sciences, it made him feel immensely proud. As China's highest research institution, the Chinese Academy of Sciences had always been based in the nation and served the people of the nation. From the previous "1nm lithography machine" to the current "Azure Dragon drone," with the help of a certain esteemed figure, they had completed one technological breakthrough after another this year, which China had previously spent immense financial and material resources on without success. The 1nm lithography machine was now successfully mass-produced and in use, and the "Taotie" chip was also in the large-scale mass production stage, with manufacturers expected to start adapting it soon. More and more high-end technologies were about to enter various sectors of the country. Thanks to these revolutionary technologies, China was now a leading power in some fields.
At 5 PM. Huawei, the largest manufacturer in China's mobile phone market share, officially held a new product launch event.
"Didn't Huamaker just release a new phone last month? Why are they releasing a new one now?"
"Don't talk about it. After the phone was released last month, the US directly cut off their chip supply. Now, Huawei has many phones without chips, and they can't sell them!"
"These Americans are truly detestable, relying on their chip technology to target us everywhere!"
"I'm really looking forward to what surprise Huawei's new phone will bring!"
"Yes, I'm equally curious. Huawei is one of the few domestic phone manufacturers brave enough to confront the US. I hope they don't falter because of sanctions."
Many netizens, upon receiving news of Huawei Group's press conference, flooded into the live stream. They were very curious about what product Huawei would release this time, especially since it had only been a month since the new product was released last month. In such a short period, would Huawei really release another new phone?
"Friends, everyone, welcome to today's new product launch event! Although it's called a new product, it's actually not entirely new. The phone we are releasing this time is the Huawei P70!" said Yu Chengdong, the president of Huawei Group, who was hosting the product launch.
"What the heck? Isn't this the one released last month? Why are they bringing it out again?"
"Unbelievable, are they intentionally messing around? This is a scam, isn't it?"
"Leaving now, leaving now. I thought it was a new product launch, but I didn't expect them to release a product that had already been released." When many netizens heard that they were releasing a product that had already been released, they started to curse.
"I'm sure many of you here are starting to feel something is amiss. We released this product just last month, so why are we having another press conference to release it? However, I want to tell you all that the product we are releasing today is equipped with the world's most advanced 1nm Taotie chip!" Yu Chengdong smiled and said again.
"What the hell? 1nm chip? Is that real? Isn't the most advanced currently 5nm?"
"Unbelievable, is today April Fool's Day? A 1nm chip, how powerful must it be!"
"I suspect he's bragging. Even if he can design a 1nm chip, wouldn't he need a lithography machine to produce it? The most advanced lithography machine technology currently can't even reach 3nm!" When netizens heard about the 1nm chip, they all wondered if they had misheard. After all, just a month ago, major Chinese manufacturers were sanctioned by the US and knelt down to sign high-priced contracts. Huawei, the only one that didn't sign, was directly cut off from its supply, and now they could barely sell a few phones. Today, China claims to have a 1nm chip. This speed is like riding a rocket!
"It's definitely industrial waste, just a gimmick!"
"If this is truly a 1nm chip, I'll eat my hat. China doesn't have this capability!"
"Exactly, are they resorting to fraud now?" Many netizens were completely disbelieving of this so-called 1nm chip and questioned it in the live stream.
"Those upstairs clearly haven't watched the previous press conference by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. We are now a country with our own 1nm lithography machine. Your information is too outdated!"
"That's right. The technical data and related support for this were provided by a mysterious master, and with the tireless work of countless scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the lithography machine was developed. Don't spout nonsense if you don't know!"
"Exactly, our lithography and chip technology have now completely surpassed those Western countries. We will be the industry leader in the future!" Of course, there were also many netizens in the live stream who were aware of the capabilities of China's lithography machines and explained accordingly.
...
"Director Qi, Huawei Group has already held a new product launch event today. Products equipped with the latest Taotie chip will reach users by the end of this month." As Qi Guo walked back to his office, an assistant approached him and said.
"It's already available so quickly? These technology manufacturers certainly have some skill!" Qi Guo couldn't help but sigh, as the project had taken less than a month from start to finish. He didn't expect it to be directly applicable to mobile phones and officially launched. However, it was also evident that Huawei Group had been having a difficult time since being sanctioned by the US. Therefore, being the first to release a product equipped with the Taotie chip was a gamble on their entire reputation. After Huawei Group officially launched the 1nm Taotie chip at their press conference, countries around the world paid close attention. This was because China had previously announced its 1nm lithography machine through the Academy of Sciences, and now, in such a short period, they had released a mobile product equipped with a 1nm chip. This was almost unbelievable to them, as the speed was simply too fast.
"I can't believe it, I simply cannot believe that China has such advanced technology!" In a conference room at the US National Academy of Sciences, people were sitting neatly. On the large screen in front of them, Huawei Group's press conference was being played. An old man with blond hair and blue eyes, who was at the forefront, exclaimed in disbelief.
"Director, I think this might be their trick. No country can independently produce a 1nm lithography machine and chip at this point, let alone China, which was already lagging in this field?"
"Exactly, we are the most advanced country in the world, and we can't produce it. There's no way China can!"
"I have strong reason to suspect this is just a trick by China to deceive themselves!" Many people present, after hearing the director's words, expressed their opinions.
