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

Ji Bai was very satisfied.

I could barely suppress the smile from the corners of my mouth!

This is absolutely shocking!

Let's just say it's even more powerful than his last time making room temperature superconductivity by hand!

In just a short while, not only were all the shock points consumed in the previous days replenished, but there were even some left over.

"We made a profit!"

This is a huge profit!

The entire place was silent for almost three minutes, and then it exploded!

The venue erupted!

The foreigners were completely outraged!

Several Nobel laureate physicists had already stood up from their seats and were jostling to squeeze toward the podium.

"Oh my God! How did he do that!"

"Superconductivity! It must be superconductivity! Apart from room-temperature superconductivity, there is no other technology that can allow an object to maintain that levitating state without a visible propulsion device!"

"Yes! I bet that sword definitely integrates high-density superconducting coils! The blue light it emits is probably the quantum locking effect produced when the superconducting material is energized!"

"My God... he's already applied room-temperature superconductivity to this extent?"

After all, everyone present was a top-tier big shot.

After the initial shock, magic was the first thing to be ruled out.

This cannot be magic, nor can it be Eastern sorcery.

That thing can fly, so it must conform to the laws of physics.

The problem is, they still can't figure it out.

"Wait a moment."

A materials science professor from the Max Planck Institute in Germany adjusted his glasses, his voice trembling slightly: "Even if he solved the problems of levitation and propulsion, how did he maintain that posture?"

"Yes! That's the key!"

Everyone fell silent.

"Do you remember the trajectory of that sword? From the research institute to the podium, the distance is at least 600 meters, but the sword's posture was almost perfectly stable during the flight, without even the slightest unnecessary sway."

"Moreover, during the descent, that thing would automatically adjust its angle to match his jump. After landing, Ji Bai simply made a hand gesture, and the sword automatically pierced his back..."

At this point, even the expert himself found it absurd.

"This...is this still a flying machine? This is clearly a living thing!"

"That's right! That sword circled him one last time! That movement! Do you know what that means?"

"What does that mean?"

"This means it has a perception system capable of calculating the surrounding environment in real time, and sufficient computing power to complete trajectory planning within milliseconds!"

"This is beyond the capabilities of all currently known civilian aircraft!"

"Even the most advanced drone swarms in the United States would find it difficult to achieve that level of autonomous flight with such precision in such a short time."

"But the problem is, its size! How big is that sword anyway?"

"In such a small space, you have to fit the power supply, superconducting coils, propulsion system, and a flight control system capable of calculating attitude in real time..."

"God! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"unless……"

"Unless what?"

"Unless there's a chip inside that we've never seen before, with ridiculously high computing power."

After he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence.

Then, someone whispered:

"Could it be... 10 nanometers?"

"What?"

"I mean, real 10-nanometer chips! Even smaller!"

"Moreover, its architecture must be completely different from existing chips, otherwise it would be impossible to complete such a terrifying amount of computation in such a small package."

"But how could China possibly have such a chip?"

"Just because China doesn't have it... doesn't mean Ji Bai doesn't!"

The air fell silent once more.

The bigwigs present saw through the surface and grasped the essence in just a few minutes.

It even... comes close to the truth!

In this day and age, personal flying vehicles are not considered high technology at all, even if they look like a sword.

Which of those expensive jetpacks, flying skateboards, and manned drones from Silicon Valley can't fly?

But which of those things can achieve the same level of performance as just now?

Which one can be like a sword with a spirit, autonomously tracking itself, autonomously avoiding obstacles, and autonomously returning to its master?

This is not "flying" at all.

This can "fly"!

"Can fly" and "know how to fly" are just one word apart, yet they make worlds apart!

In China, however, the situation is completely different.

The leaders of the Science and Technology Bureau had their eyes light up instantly after listening to the expert's quiet analysis.

Chip.

A truly world-leading chip.

This is something that has been holding China back for decades!

If Ji Bai can even make this thing, then lithography machines...

The leaders of the Science and Technology Bureau began to breathe rapidly.

He glanced at the senior councilor sitting next to him, trying to lower his voice, but the excitement in his tone was impossible to hide:

"Sir, that thing we just saw most likely contained a high-end chip that we can't currently produce."

Upon hearing this, the expression on the faces of the council leaders did not change much, but the hand holding the teacup noticeably tightened.

"What about performance?"

"Conservatively estimated, its computing power is more than ten times that of current mainstream flagship chips! Moreover, its packaging technology and power consumption control should also surpass the current level."

"The key is that if Ji Bai can make this kind of chip, it means that he may have already mastered the entire process from design to manufacturing."

The council leaders remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he slowly nodded and said only two words:

"OK."

The sound wasn't loud.

But when the provincial governor and Prefect Liu heard this, their hearts raced.

Ok.

They knew all too well what those two words meant when they came out of the old man's mouth.

The provincial governor remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was in turmoil.

Chip.

Photolithography machine.

If Ji Bai really manages to produce all of these things, and chooses to settle in Fucheng...

Then Liaoning Province took off completely.

What about the revitalization of old industrial bases? What about the resurgence of Northeast China?

With this thing, Liaoning Province will be China's Silicon Valley, no, it will be an even more terrifying place than Silicon Valley!

Prefect Liu was so excited that his hands were trembling.

He was even afraid!

If Ji Bai brings out the lithography machine again... will his position as prefect still be secure?

Meanwhile, the younger students on the playground had completely gone crazy.

"Aaaaaaah! He flew! Senior flew away!"

"Am I dreaming?! Pinch me! Pinch me! Ouch, ouch, ouch! It's real! My senior really flew away!"

"I knew it! Ji Shen isn't an ordinary person! He graduated from our school! I can fly too someday!"

"I told you long ago, Chinese people can fly!"

"Stop flying! Finish your physics homework first!"

"I don't care! I don't care! I want to study physics! I want to build flying swords!"

I cried!

"I cried too! My brother is so handsome! How can he be so handsome!"

"From this day forward, Brother Ji Bai is my god for life! Anyone who dares to say a single bad word about him, I'll fight them to the death!"

The teachers tried to maintain order, but they couldn't control the situation at all.

Because the teacher has gone mad too.

An elderly physics teacher stood among his students, head tilted back, muttering to himself:

"Superconducting magnetic levitation...it should be superconducting magnetic levitation...but this attitude control...this energy density...this..."

Amidst this madness, there was one person who remained quieter than everyone else.

Li Mei.
