Chapter 280: The Rise of Local Chips!

“We choose local!”

“Local!”

“Local for sure!!”

Under the stage.

As a veteran engineer with more than 10 years of working experience in the integrated chip field, Wang Minyu did not scream along with the crowd. He just stood there, dazed. All the screaming and shouting happening around him cluttered his thoughts and made his vision blurry. He murmured to himself, “Am I dreaming?”

Domestic EUV lithography machine!

Domestic 5-nanometer chips!

Domestic super resolution lithography machine used for chip manufacture!

Logically speaking, all these only existed in dreamland, but all of these were announced at one go in this conference. The foreigner’s seal was broken, the world’s most advanced technology was attained, a tremendous advantage was established, all in a single instant!

No matter how strong he wished for domestic chips to rise, he never once fantasized it to happen this way.

He moved his hands to the chubbiest part of his thigh and gave the spot a good pinch.

Ah!

P-p-pain!

It hurt so much that he began crying, and he couldn’t seem to stop no matter what.

He lifted his fist on pounded on his own chest. With all of his might, he shouted, “Z chips are the best in the world!”

“Z has chips, the world we beat!” At this moment, a youthful voice sounded.

“Z has chips, the world we beat!”

“Z has chips, the world we beat!”

The scene seemed to have been completely blown up. Countless people were shouting. Their uncluttered and loud roars almost lifted the ceiling of the venue.

How could the 10 thousand audiences at the scene be the only ones who were agitated?

The news that Zhong Xin International mangled foreign monopoly and their several huge breakthroughs spread through the internet at the speed of light.

Millions of netizens on each social media platform were quickly hyped up.

“Way to go Zhong Xin! Niubi!”

“16th of May. Please remember this day. This is the day our nation’s chip industry completely shed away its reliance towards the foreigners. This is the day we announce that we, ourselves, now own powerful chips. This is the day we stand on our own feet. I urge the country to set up a special festival, or record this in elementary school textbooks to commemorate this special day.”

“For 30 years, we have been self-abased, looking up towards advanced Western technology in our inferiority. We made a wish, a wish that we would one day surpass them. For 30 years, the westerners had assumed control in the development of science and technology. They brought upon our ancient civilization great suffering. They made our people kneel upon them for generations, never being able to straighten up ourselves. After 3000 years, we are finally back to where we belong. I know they must be uneasy, even we ourselves are yet used to it. But that day will still come, because the Z nation is number one, and it has always been!”

“Who said we Z’s are incapable. Who said that our industries will die off once the foreigners block us? If it were the foreigners that said so, then so be it. But why even our own people own so little ambition? I always thought that the sales ban is a good thing. It inspires our people to be self-reliant. Division of labor in a global industry, free trade, the say that there is no need to do anything, I say that all these are bullsh*t! Division of labor is designed by the foreigners. Free trade is designed by the foreigners. They came up with these to control the entire chain and to maximize their own benefits. Why are we jumping into this big crater and rendering ourselves to be controlled by the others?

For a nation as huge as us, we must know how to do everything! We must master all state-of-the-art core technology. Only then we will not be controlled by others, only then we can ensure our own safety, especially under the circumstances where even the rule makers don’t follow the rules. We can only make ourselves strong in every aspect, fill in all our shortcomings, and show that we have the will and ability!”

“Advanced engines and the 5 nm chips. That’s a grand slam!”

“I feel so physically and mentally refreshed. Never have I felt so good in my life. There is nothing to be afraid of now. We have sixth generation fighter jets to protect us. We have Zhong Xin International to win us the competition in technology. What is still there for us to be afraid of? What else can we feel inferior of? Everything we own are on par or even greater than what the others have!”

“From today onwards, please accustom yourself to be a civilian of a global superpower!”

“I don’t know why, since morning when I saw the news until now, I have been crying, and I can’t seem to stop.”

“It has been so many years. The path hasn’t been easy for our country, our tech companies and even for each and every one of us.”

“Yes indeed, it hasn’t been easy. Even we ourselves do not believe in our own! Too bad I’m no scientist, but I hope that my son could grow up to be one.”

“I can’t hold my tears anymore; I salute all the people working in the tech field!”

“Salute +1. The backbone of our country, you people are our pride!”

“Salute +1”

…

On the other side.

The netizens went to several interesting places.

The official Weibo of the Dutch Embassy and Netherlands ASML company was flooded by the following messages:

“Please continue your ban, don’t ever lift it.”

“Don’t be scared ya know! You are dogs if you dare lift the ban!”

“We humans talk about credit. When you say you are not selling it, means you are not selling it. Do not say one thing today and say another the next day.”

“Stick to your 100-year sales ban!”

“I’m placing my bets over here. If you lift the ban, you will have to call me daddy. But I on the other hand do not want a son with such short-sightedness as you.”

“Stop selling us garbage, we don’t need them!”

“Consider a 50% discount and a ‘buy one free one’. This is the only way you can sell your stuff now.”

There were netizens who got so bloated with pride that they went to release all kinds of cocky words at the M Embassy’s official Weibo.

“Is that all you got? Do you have any more tricks up your sleeves?”

“Come on, come up with more tricks please!”

“Engines last month and chips this month. It’s indeed that we are breaking through everything that was banned. Hey Mr. M, help us check where are we lacking on, and give us a sales ban on that, thanks.”

“You must not falter Mr. M. We still have lots of shortcomings. I hope you work harder. All of us here are waiting for your ‘face slap highlights’.”

“Huhuh, do you know tomfool’s knot? For this kind of knot, the more you struggle, the faster you die. You are exactly the one who was dying.”

“What’s wrong with fair competition in doing business? But you guys can’t seem to learn from your mistakes and are getting increasingly stupid!”

“Please continue shutting us out. We won’t miss any of your stuff.”

…

Several minutes after the conference.

On the A-share market, Zhong Xin International’s share price quickly soared red, reaching the daily limit almost instantly.

Fortunately, in order to obtain more financing, Zhong Xin International applied for additional shares worth about 50 billion dollars. Originally, this application was still under review. But after the conference this morning, the SFC immediately passed the review and allowed the additional shares to be listed.

Fuush~

Less than two minutes after the 50 billion additional shares were put on the shelves, they were snapped up by the investors.

Of course, the influence of this conference was not only limited within the country. It also set off a huge tidal wave abroad.
