When these people racked their brains to get a high-definition photo of Xiao Ye and analyze her recovery from the surgery, Lu Jin published a paper in the world-famous top medical journal, The Lancet.

Although the article used an alias for the patient’s name, anyone with a heart could tell with one look that this was a surgery performed on Xiao Ye!

In the same cutting-edge laboratory, these people were speechless when they saw the article published in The Lancet.

They were all talking about it, and they all felt relieved.

“… so we were thinking too much.”

“Hehe, they actually used a simulated metal stent to simulate the nervous system.”

“This idea isn’t ahead of the curve, but it’s worth noting that the performance of this simulated metal stent is much better than the materials available on the market. The craftsmanship is superb, almost to the point of making it look fake.”

“The Huaxia Empire’s workmanship has never reached such an exquisite level.”

“That’s right. The Huaxia Empire has always liked to sell at low prices, so the quality can not be guaranteed. But the data of this simulated metal bracket is really terrifyingly accurate!”

“… none of us have the technical level to create this kind of simulated metal bracket.”

“Right, this requires an extremely high-precision machine tool.”

At first, the leader of the laboratory was disdainful.

This was because there was nothing innovative about this surgical method. In his opinion, Lu Jin, who had suddenly appeared, was nothing to be afraid of.

However, listening to the analysis of the laboratory researchers, the more he listened, the more terrified he became.

If it was just one person’s technology, they could still catch up, or buy it, or even kidnap and steal it.

However, this simple simulation metal frame displayed a deeper meaning than the shock that a genius doctor gave him.

It required materials, machinery manufacturing, simulation technology, and even resources, funds, and manpower to provide technical support to the entire industrial system!

And they were all very high-level technologies.

In modern society, the high-tech that countries really competed with was not just patents and concepts, but materials and technology.

Just like the principle of building an atomic bomb, almost every country in the world now knows it, but only a few countries can actually build an atomic bomb.

To build this thing, only two problems need to be solved.

First, extracting isotopes from heavy elements.

Second, striking neutrons causes a chain reaction.

Sounds Easy, right?

But to do it, first, there must be a variety of supporting facilities, such as heavy water extraction equipment, and large centrifuges.

Without the guarantee of the supporting equipment, the atomic bomb could only remain on paper forever.

After thinking this through, the person in charge of the laboratory took a deep breath, he said,”… This is a silent demonstration. The Huaxia Empire used this method to tell us that they have made a breakthrough in high-precision machine tools.”

“… you think you’re so great just by building an imitation metal bracket? If you have the ability to make chips!”A person muttered in a low voice, obviously disapproving.

“Yeah, yeah… the Dutch side still has their orders for the photolithography machine. We must make them wait for a few years until our technology is eliminated before we can sell the existing photolithography machine to them!”

The person-in-charge of the laboratory slammed the table and sneered, “Look carefully at the data listed in his thesis. They can even make such precision. They no longer need the Dutch side’s photolithography machine!”

The Huaxia Empire suddenly canceled the order for the photolithography machine a few days later, as if to verify the words of the person-in-charge of the laboratory. The Netherlands was greatly puzzled, the Senate of the Huaxia Empire, who was visiting the Netherlands, was specially sent to interview speaker long.

“… may I ask why you canceled the order for the photolithography machine? Don’t you need the photolithography machine to make chips?”

Only one company in the Netherlands could produce and export high-end photolithography machines on the market.

However, due to various reasons, the Netherlands had given priority to satisfying the orders of the United States, Germany, and Japan. The Huaxia Empire’s order had been pushed to two years later.

Speaker Long did not answer directly. Instead, he said, “This question can be answered by our chief legal advisor, Ms. Gu Nianzhi.”

This was the first time Gu Nianzhi had followed speaker long on a trip to Europe. This was also the first time she had appeared on the international political stage. Speaker Long had been very diligent in creating all sorts of opportunities for her.

Gu Nianzhi took the microphone from the Dutch national television station and said humorously,”… I thought our country would cancel the order. The country we’re most worried about shouldn’t be the Netherlands, but other countries.”

“… tell me, who asked you to ask this question? You’ll have to ask him for the agency fee when you get back.”

The reporters burst into laughter and turned to look at the American reporters standing next to the CNN logo.

However, these reporters had long been scolded by their president for being “Fake news agency”(fake news manufacturing center) , and had long been trained to do so.

They smiled appropriately and looked at Gu Nianzhi with interest.

The Dutch national television reporter also smiled and said, “Ms. Gu is really sharp. Thank you for reminding me. I will definitely ask for the agency fee.”

This was a disguised admission that he had asked this question on behalf of someone else.

Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. “That’s good. Remember to ask questions on behalf of others in the future. You might even become rich.”

She had almost made everyone forget the question they were supposed to ask.

But the reporters from CNN would not give up so easily.

They coughed and reminded the Dutch national television reporter to continue asking questions.

The reporter quickly went back to the topic at hand and continued asking, “Ms. Gu, do you know why your country suddenly canceled the order?”

Gu Nianzhi waved her hand nonchalantly, “The Order is a commercial act, not a state act. I don’t understand why you’re asking the Senate. Wouldn’t it be easier to just call the company that canceled the order?”

This was a blatant lie.

The whole world knew that the Huaxia Empire’s government agency was eager to buy a photolithography machine to make chips. It was only a commercial company that placed the order.

Now that the order had been canceled, the country’s chief legal advisor of the Senate had shamelessly said that this matter had nothing to do with the government!

He was too thick-skinned!

The reporters present stared at Gu Nianzhi, deeply wondering how this person could be the chief legal advisor?

This was a top diplomatic talent!

The reporters from the Dutch state television were not so thick-skinned and could not ask any more questions.

Because Gu Nianzhi’s words were absolutely flawless.

It was one thing for everyone to understand each other, but if you insisted that buying a photolithography machine was an act of the state, you had to prove it.

There was no other way, so the CNN reporters had no choice but to do it themselves.

They took over the microphone for the questions, before Gu Nianzhi could bring up anything else, they quickly asked,”… is there really no other reason in your country? “You should know that if you suddenly cancel the order for the photolithography machine, even if it’s a commercial act, it would be an act of extreme non-compliance.”

“If you do this, the people of the world will despise you for your treachery!”

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help laughing, “TSK tsk, look who’s talking.”.

“You Americans are talking to us about the spirit of the contract? How many treaties did your President just withdraw from? Do you want me to count them for you?”

“TPP, the climate agreement, the Iran Nuclear Agreement, the Universal Postal Service, and the INF Treaty.”

“Do you know what your President said when he withdrew from these treaties?”

“He said that this is a bad and stupid treaty. It should never have been signed…”

“If our company cancels an order, it must be for the same reason. “This is a bad and stupid order. We should never have signed it. If they paid the deposit, I think they should ask for a 100% refund.”

Gu Nianzhi had used the words of the president of the United States to slap the reporters in the face. They were almost speechless.

At that moment, a Japanese reporter bowed politely to Gu Nianzhi, she said, “Ms. Gu, we noticed that the doctors in your country have just performed a very excellent surgery. The artificial metal stent that was installed on the patient was very well-made. Not only was it of high quality, but it also demonstrated a very high level of technology. — did you import this technology from Germany or the United States?”

“I remember that Germany and the United States signed a technical blockade treaty against China. This technology is included in the blockade treaty. — how did you break through the blockade and obtain this technology from Germany and the United States?”

The Huaxia Empire was basically stealing trade technology secrets from Germany and the United States!

The smile on Gu Nianzhi’s face gradually faded, and she looked intently at the tall and thin Japanese journalist.
