The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Yes!

All major powers are terrified!

The young man produced more than ten patented technologies in one go, but that's nothing compared to room-temperature superconductivity.

The problem is, all of these patents belong to the Hausen family!

At first, the big shots were just watching the show.

Watch as an arrogant and presumptuous young genius uses a few new patents to challenge a century-old powerhouse.

All parties found it amusing and even secretly wanted to give it a push.

But now, the chaebol families are no longer laughing.

Because they suddenly realized a problem.

An extremely frightening problem.

That boy... how did he do it?

More than a dozen patents in half a month!

These patents, no more and no less, are all the core profit drivers for the Hausen family in the civilian semiconductor field.

They didn't touch any of the other companies' products, but they didn't miss a single one from Hausen!

What does this mean?

Does this mean that the boy... can crack whose patent he wants?

Can we optimize the technology of whomever we want?

If Ji Bai had spent half a month in seclusion and managed to crack one or two of the Hausen family's patented technologies, everyone would have been perfectly accepting.

But now, this is not just one or two technologies.

Almost all of the Hausen family's patents in the civilian sector have been seized!

What if it were them?

The Morgan family's financial encryption patents, Rockefeller's energy and chemical patents, DuPont's specialty materials patents, Mitsui's precision machinery patents...

Are these patent moats that have supported their century-old business and allowed them to make money effortlessly just as fragile as paper in front of this young man?

Does he think he can overturn their table anytime he wants?

Anyone who has been to school knows that getting a perfect score isn't scary; controlling your score is the real skill!

Ji Bai wasn't taking an exam; Ji Bai was controlling the score!

He can set any score he wants, and decide who passes and who fails.

The Morgan family.

The smile on Morgan's face had vanished completely; his brows were furrowed, and his fingertips were unconsciously tapping the table.

"Go, retrieve our entire list of patents in the semiconductor field and reassess the risks."

"Furthermore... notify the legal department to temporarily freeze all cross-licensing agreements with the Hausen family."

Rockefeller Estate.

Rockefeller put down his cigar and remained silent for a long time.

"Notify all business units to soften their stance in all recent patent negotiations with Chinese companies. Licensing fees can be reduced, and long-term contracts should be signed as soon as possible!"

In an instant, all the families, conglomerates, and giants that relied on patent barriers panicked.

They were laughing at Hausen for being foolish, laughing at Hausen for kicking a hornet's nest.

But now they realized that this iron plate could kill Hausen, or any one of them.

No one dared to approach this with a spectator's mentality anymore.

The same thought arose in everyone's mind:

This 18-year-old Chinese boy has become so dangerous that they have to take him seriously.

……

Beijing.

The atmosphere in the conference room was equally tense.

The live stream froze on the moment Ji Bai pulled out yet another chip.

"This is getting a bit troublesome!"

The others around him nodded in agreement, their expressions growing increasingly solemn.

Just moments ago, they were laughing so hard they couldn't stop, watching their kid single-handedly beat up an old family with a flurry of punches—it was so satisfying, so cathartic.

But now, I can't laugh anymore.

"This little one is so energetic!"

"We originally thought that with the patent control of room temperature superconductivity in our hands, no one would be watching him anymore. But this kid has put himself in the spotlight again."

"He's practically a human patent-hacking machine; all the factions must be having sleepless nights!"

"Notify Fucheng to raise the security level to the highest level! Increase the perimeter defenses, information protection, and close-quarters security."

"We will spare no effort to ensure the absolute safety of our people."

Let's put it this way: as long as Ji Bai lives, he'll always be that sword hanging over the heads of all the major financial families!

At this point, a uniformed officer tentatively suggested, "How about... we bring this kid into the army and have him help us upgrade our equipment?"

The meeting room fell silent for a moment after these words were spoken.

Everyone exchanged glances, their eyes clearly conveying two words: attraction.

That's someone who can optimize semiconductor chips at will. If they were put into the military industry, electromagnetic guns, radars, engines... many bottleneck problems could probably be solved with ease.

After a few seconds, one of the leaders smiled and shook his head: "Wait a little longer. We're in the eye of the storm right now. Don't provoke those people any further, or it will backfire."

A hint of disappointment flashed across the face of the military-uniformed leader, who sighed and leaned back in his chair.

But then, the leader abruptly changed the subject, slowly adding:

"Can't you conduct technological research if you don't join the military?"

"Don't you all have a bunch of technical problems that you haven't been able to solve for a long time? Organize them, categorize them, and send them all to Fucheng."

"Just say... I'd like to ask Ji Bai for some pointers."

After he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent for a moment, then everyone smiled knowingly.

"Absolutely! Absolutely!"

"Yes, yes!"

"You've thought of everything so thoroughly!"

The laughter was filled with the unbridled joy of making a fortune in silence.

If the mountain won't come to me, then I'll go to the mountain!

It neither provokes the outside world nor hinders the tackling of tough challenges.

This is a sure win!

……

Once the order was issued, the entire city of Fucheng, and even the entire province of Liao, was mobilized.

The first to be affected was the public security system.

On the large screen of the Fucheng City Public Security Bureau's command center, the electronic map of the area surrounding the Ji Bai Research Institute was magnified tenfold. Within a radius of five kilometers, every intersection, every high-rise building, and every underground pipeline entrance was re-marked.

The police deployment map is layered on top of each other, with visible sentry posts, hidden sentry posts, mobile sentry posts, and plainclothes observation points, densely packed together, three levels higher than the security level of train stations during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Next up is the Provincial Department's Special Operations Bureau.

More than a dozen black special police vehicles drove into Fucheng from the provincial capital overnight. All of them had ordinary civilian license plates, but the people in the cars were all tough guys who could disarm guns with their bare hands and were licensed to carry guns.

Further up is a military unit stationed in Liaoning under a certain war zone.

A company of reconnaissance soldiers entered the mountainous area around Fucheng under the guise of "field training". They set up sniper observation posts on three high points and equipped them with the most advanced optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment.

The security level around Ji Bai Research Institute has visibly increased to an exaggerated level.

Two new checkpoints have been set up at the entrance, staffed around the clock.

Vehicles entering and exiting must undergo three procedures: vehicle undercarriage scanning, document verification, and facial recognition.

The green belts on both sides of the main gate were transformed overnight into anti-collision roadbeds, with turf on the surface and solid steel columns buried underneath.

The rooftops of all the surrounding high-rise buildings have been cleared and sealed off, and people are watching the elevator lobbies, fire exits, and underground parking garages.

Even the stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood were quietly "asked" to leave this area.

To put it simply, the security level around Ji Bai Research Institute is almost on par with that of a certain street.

Even major logistics companies received the notice from above.

"Recently, express deliveries to the old town of Fucheng are strictly prohibited from containing any controlled knives, flammable and explosive materials, chemical reagents, electronic interference devices..."

……

at the same time.

Institute 7** is a military research institute whose name cannot be found on maps and has an extremely high level of secrecy.

In the director's office, the red telephone on the desk suddenly rang...
