Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

"Click-clack-clack-clack—"

In the press conference hall of the National Development and Reform Commission, flashes of light, like a dense barrage of lightning, illuminated the entire podium in a stark white light.

Liu Ming sat in the center, with only a microphone and a tray covered with red silk in front of him.

He didn't read those long, tedious official documents, nor did he prepare any fancy PowerPoint presentations. Under the scrutinizing and arrogant gazes of hundreds of top domestic and international media outlets, he simply lifted the red silk curtain.

A chip the size of a fingernail lay quietly in an anti-static glass case, refracting a cold yet captivating metallic luster under the spotlight.

"This is 'Dragon Abyss'."

Liu Ming's voice resonated throughout the venue through the microphone, calm and undisturbed, yet possessing an undeniable penetrating power.

"It was independently developed by China. It completely abandoned the traditional silicon-based architecture and adopted a brand-new two-dimensional carbon-based material. Without using any technology that is subject to Western patent pools, we have achieved mass production at the seven-nanometer level."

"Furthermore, with the same computing power, its energy consumption is reduced by a full 20 percent compared to the current top flagship chips in the West."

A deathly silence fell over the entire press conference hall for a full ten seconds after Liu Ming finished speaking.

The blond, blue-eyed foreign journalists even forgot to press the shutter. They stared at Liu Ming on the stage with their mouths agape, as if she were a madwoman.

7nm? Purely domestically developed architecture? 20% reduction in power consumption?

"Director Liu, are you joking?"

A well-known Western financial journalist suddenly stood up, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"It is common knowledge that your country is at least twenty years behind us in the field of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines! Without our equipment license, you can't even get close to the 14-nanometer threshold! Now you dare to present a piece of metal that you've somehow obtained and claim to the world that you've broken the technological blockade?"

"This is simply the most absurd lie I've heard all year!"

Several Western journalists in the audience couldn't help but chuckle quietly. In their view, this was nothing more than a clumsy political show put on by the Chinese government to appease domestic sentiment in the face of a comprehensive technological blockade.

"lie?"

Liu Ming looked at the Western reporter whose face was flushed, and a wild, cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

He didn't refute it; he simply turned his head and made a gesture towards the giant screen behind him.

"Ghost Hand, cut the data."

"Alright, boss! Let these bumpkins see what's what!"

The excited screams of Ghost Hand came through the headphones, and the next second, the 120-inch super-large screen behind the press conference hall suddenly lit up.

That's a set of real-time benchmark data comparison charts! On the left is "Dragon Abyss," and on the right is the "Titan" chip, which M Group just released and claims to be the most powerful chip on Earth.

Computing power, floating-point operations, graphics rendering, and heat control.

A barrage of incredibly complex and chilling underlying physical data scrolled frantically across the screen. Each result was like a resounding slap in the face to the Western journalists who had just been mocking them!

A complete and utter crushing defeat! This is an absolute and undisputed crushing defeat in terms of underlying physical logic!

"This...this is impossible..."

The Western journalist, who had been so arrogant just moments before, now looked like a duck with its neck being choked. Staring at the incredibly stable temperature control curve on the screen, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed into his chair.

"You...you bypassed the refractive limitations of EUV light sources? This defies the laws of physics!"

"In your dictionary, it certainly defies common sense." Liu Ming stood up, placed her hands on the podium, and stared intently at the camera with her sharp, hawk-like eyes, as if trying to pierce through the screen and look at Wall Street across the ocean.

"But in our Dragon Kingdom, we never believe in any God's rules." "We only believe that human will can overcome fate."

"Everyone, let's face reality."

At this moment, Liu Ming's voice became incredibly grand and majestic.

"That era when a few worthless patent papers could strangle China and ruthlessly bleed it dry."

"--it's over."

……

Ten minutes later.

At the same time, this press conference was broadcast live globally via satellite.

Across the ocean, in New York City, on Wall Street.

This is the heart of global capital, and also the most sensitive and greedy place in the world.

At 9:30 a.m. local time, the Nasdaq stock market had just rang its opening bell.

Those Wall Street financial giants sitting in the trading room, sipping coffee and preparing to start their day's "harvest," saw the news push from the East on their screens.

"What the fxxk?"

A top fund manager slammed his coffee cup onto the expensive carpet, oblivious to the scalding coffee splashing onto his foot. His eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets as he stared intently at the wildly fluctuating numbers on the screen!

"Sell! Quickly! Clear all positions in M ​​Group! Sell regardless of cost!!!"

late.

Everything is too late.

Capital has a terrifying sense of smell. The moment the overwhelming data from the "Dragon Abyss" chip appeared on global financial terminals, everyone realized one thing.

The technological barriers that M Group was so proud of were completely shattered by the Easterners! Their patented technologies, worth hundreds of billions, instantly became a pile of worthless waste paper in the face of "Dragon Abyss's" brand-new carbon-based architecture!

Panic, like a plague, swept across Wall Street in just a few dozen seconds.

In the very first minute of trading, M Group's stock price was bombarded by a massive wave of sell orders! It plummeted!

-10%! -20%! -30%! !!

No support! No rebound!

This is a multinational tech giant with a market capitalization of hundreds of billions of dollars! In just five minutes, its stock price was halved, wiping out hundreds of billions of dollars in market value!

In the trading hall, wails, roars, and the sound of keyboards being smashed filled the air as countless heavily leveraged hedge funds vanished in an instant on this dark morning.

……

That evening, in the capital city, at the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.

What was originally a celebratory banquet has now turned into a carnival for the entire capital and even the entire business community of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Director Liu! This toast is for you! You've truly carved out a path to success for our Chinese enterprises!"

"Liu Shen! From now on, all our company's purchase orders will be for equipment equipped with 'Longyuan'! Anyone who dares to use M Group's junk again, I, Lao Wang, will be the first to beat them up!"

In the banquet hall, a long line of people were offering toasts. The business tycoons who were usually high and mighty looked at Liu Ming with nothing but awe and pure fervor.

Liu Ming held his wine glass and responded with a smile. Although he had drunk quite a bit, his eyes remained clear and bright. He knew that this was only the first step in his counterattack, and the real battle was yet to come.

"Hero Liu, are you tired?"

A soft, jade-like hand gently took his arm.

Nangong Yao, dressed in an extremely alluring burgundy evening gown and carrying two glasses of champagne, walked over with a charming smile. She had drunk a bit too much today; her beautiful cheeks were flushed with an alluring rosy hue, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to hold a pool of spring water.

"Not bad." Liu Ming took the champagne and lightly clinked glasses. "Nangong Group's stock did well today, didn't it?"

"It's more than just good."

Nangong Yao moved closer, and the warm scent, a blend of the rich aroma of red wine and the fragrance of high-end perfume, rushed to Liu Ming's ear.

"With you, the 'Tech Tsar,' backing me up, Nangong Group's market value has now far surpassed the second-place company. I'm now firmly in control of my position as the richest woman."

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Liu Ming who was so close to her. She looked at his face, which was slightly thin from staying up late for days, yet exuded an unparalleled aura of dominance and charm.

In that instant, an uncontrollable impulse suddenly surged in Nangong Yao's heart.

She didn't care about the stares of the business tycoons around her, nor did she care about the modesty of a female billionaire. She suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around Liu Ming's neck.

"Liu Ming".

Nangong Yao's voice was slightly hoarse from being slightly tipsy, and it carried a deep affection that came from a desperate gamble.

"I've made enough money, and you've taken your revenge."

"How much longer...how much longer are you going to make me wait?"

After saying that, she didn't give Liu Ming a chance to react. She stood on tiptoe, parted her red lips slightly, and kissed him deeply with an unbridled passion.

"Boom!" The entire venue fell silent instantly, everyone was stunned, but then came a burst of suppressed gasps and good-natured cheers.

However, in this atmosphere of intense passion and extreme romance...

"Bang!" The banquet hall doors were pushed open very roughly.

"Liu Ming! You bastard!"

A roar choked with sobs shattered the tranquility.

Liu Ming froze and turned her head sharply.

All I could see was the main gate.

Lin Xiaoxiao, dressed in military uniform and with red eyes, was glaring at him through gritted teeth.

Beside her, Xi Wanqing, dressed in a black trench coat, watched the scene quietly. Her clear, frosty eyes held no anger, but a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the entire banquet hall into an ice cellar.

But this made Liu Ming, a soldier king who dared to charge into battle amidst a hail of bullets, instantly... feel his scalp tingle.

It's over. The battleground has finally arrived.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, Western media outlets had changed their headlines to bold, glaring black text.

The Eastern Dragon has torn apart the last technological iron curtain!
