Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 647 - 259 Win-Win_3

For instance, a non-metallic material used to make heart pacemakers even supports the direct use of glucose as a fuel for sustained energy, which means that once implanted, this device could provide perpetual power. It would only need to be implanted once, as the glucose in cells could directly fuel it, eliminating the need for battery replacements...

This kind of thing is probably an absolute necessity.

With the world at peace and human lifespans increasing, there is an annual demand for millions of pacemakers globally. With such a material, what was once a fiercely competitive industry has now turned into a vast blue ocean.

Any company that secures the qualification would have to be out of their mind not to quickly expand their production line and make a fortune before this material becomes widely used.

Add to that the rumored new optical materials that could be used on screens, even supporting 3D displays, and new semiconductor materials currently under calculation...

All of these news items can be distinctly felt stirring up a new wave of frenzied development across various industries.

It was also in May that Huaxia's seven o'clock news spent eight minutes explaining that Huaxia's entirely domestically produced photolithography technology had been validated, filling a technical void for Huaxia. Although no specific parameters were disclosed, it was announced that this photolithography factory was now capable of producing 3nm chips.

Now, all that's lacking is the design capability for high-end chips.

But this surely wouldn't be harder than building the photolithography equipment.

Even if the construction period for this photolithography factory was a bit longer and the occupied area a bit larger, it indeed existed.

Without any surprise, this news once again set the internet abuzz with excitement.

Even though there was no shortage of sour comments and even skepticism about false news, these voices were essentially drowned out amidst the flurry of new materials being developed.

A grain of sand from the era becomes a mountain when it lands on the common man.

Similarly, when the era starts raining coins from the heavens like scattered blossoms from celestial maidens, anyone willing to step outside is likely to get hit by a few.

Whether you earn a monthly salary of three thousand or thirty thousand.

It's only fair to say that there aren't many industrial crowns left.

The competition needs to step up its efforts.

Theoretically, according to the conservation law of happiness dynamics, when some people are happy, there will inevitably be others who are not so pleased.

And that was indeed the case.

Like ASML, for instance.

Ever since Qiao Ze published that paper last year, there had been strong suspicions that Huaxia had mastered this technology, but there was no conclusive evidence yet.

Now with concrete proof, the repercussions were wide-ranging and profound.

Firstly, it showed on the stock market; the day after the news, Huaxia's semiconductor-related markets finally experienced a significant surge. Then, with the speed of lightning, nearly the whole market approached a trading halt, with statistics showing that almost 98% of the stocks hit their trading limit. (For narrative purposes only, not to be taken as investment advice.)

Regardless of whether there might be a merciless fall back later, that day at least everyone with stakes in the market was exhilarated.

Perhaps because of Huaxia's notoriously infamous industrial track record, the semiconductor industries in other countries immediately faced a downturn.

Especially Samsung Electronics and Southeastern Semiconductor.

This even compelled the new CEO of Apple to proclaim that "it's time to seriously face the challenge from The East."

For the old man living in the White House, this was clearly not good news.

After all, the country touts itself as being founded on science and technology, and high tech is the foundation for that claim. Reflected in the stock market, the top five companies by market value in the U.S. are Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and NVIDIA.

If the semiconductor industry's downturn has a ripple effect on these high-tech industries, the problem could become serious.

In fact, companies like Apple, NVIDIA, and even Microsoft had already been impacted.

As we all know, spinning a good story about the stock market is one of the most important economic tasks for this nation.

On one hand, the retirement funds of ordinary people are all tied up in the stock market. On the other, for the vast majority of people, complex economic data are inscrutable, and the only two clear indicators are the price of goods in the supermarket and the numbers showing the stock market's highs and lows.

If prices go up, people complain; if the stock market goes down, they complain even more.

So for the little old man in the White House, this is all very bad news.

Thrown into the mix are a plethora of other messy issues, and if the market takes a severe dive, he's going to have a tough time.

The pressure began to cascade from top to bottom.

Finally, after a month of waiting, Romand Willi received the results he needed, and they were very pleasing indeed.

This gadget...

Can it really be used?!

Even though it was a bit lacking in performance and had many limitations, it was actually usable.

But there were also many problems, such as it could only perform single tasks, and the laboratory solutions provided always had some issue, often crashing halfway through with about a fifty percent success rate.

But when it was delivered, it was also stated that this was just a previous test version.

Additionally, experts had judged that the data sample sizes tested in a non-networked state were too scarce. If the data volume were increased, perhaps the capability of this test version could be significantly improved.

One could say that happiness came too quickly, like a tornado.

Romand Willy was elated by the news.

When big players were at a loss for solutions, who could they turn to for help but his own Langley?

The thriving scene in Huaxia, wasn't it all thanks to the power of material models?

Now they possessed their own material models too. If this news got out, the capital market would surely react accordingly.
