I, from the Celestial Empire, have parachuted into Teyvat.

Everyone understood that their eldest brother was truly prepared to confront the other side head-on...

Chapter 452 Sleepless Night

On the last day of the month, at 1 p.m., countless media professionals were adjusting their equipment in the shade of the square in front of the Huaxia Magic City Cultural Convention and Exhibition Center.

Qian Deyang was one of them.

Qian Deyang is the founder of "Test First, Talk Later," a prominent tech review media outlet in China, and his studio has a certain influence in the electronics review circle. He's here today, naturally to attend the launch event for Honghu Terminal's new mobile phone at the Cultural Convention Center. There's still half an hour before the event starts, and the convention center isn't open yet. While waiting, Qian Deyang and some other media professionals he knows chatted, naturally revolving around the topics of Lightyear Technology and Compino.

Qian Deyang asked, "Did you all watch the Compino chip launch event this morning?"

Everyone nodded.

"I saw it. I didn't expect that Compino could actually develop this two-nanometer enhancement technology in such a short time. Although it's not a true one-nanometer, it's already very close to one nanometer."

"It should be 1 a.m. in the US right now. I reckon the executives at Compino are definitely still awake, waiting for our press conference... I wonder if Lightyear Technology can turn things around this time."

Someone sighed, "How can we reverse this? A three-nanometer process is trying to beat a two-nanometer enhanced process. How are we supposed to compete?"

Qian Deyang sighed and said, "It's a pity there are no media cameras this time."

Nowadays, almost all mobile phone manufacturers on Earth, in order to improve their reputation and promote their products, will send new phones to some review media and individuals a period of time in advance before the official launch. This allows the media and individuals to use the phones for a while and have a thorough experience, so that they can release review videos and articles as soon as possible after the official launch. These phones sent to reviewers are called media phones.

This time, Honghu Terminal broke with tradition by not sending out media units in advance. Therefore, media reviewers such as Qian Deyang had no idea what the new phone was like.

"The reason there are no media units is probably because time is too tight. After all, there have only been a few days since Honghu Terminal announced the release of the new phone until the end of the month. We don't even know if we have produced a million units in such a short time."

"Guangnian Technology may have found a source of chip manufacturing materials, so it was eager to send out a signal that it had restored some of its production capacity. Now, its press conference has been blocked by Compino, which is just adding insult to injury. Guangnian Technology was too hasty. If it had waited until Compino released its two-nanometer enhanced process, it wouldn't be in such a dilemma today."

Qian Deyang shook his head and said, "How can we wait? Just because Guangnian Technology releases later doesn't mean Compino will release later. Compino is deliberately trying to block Guangnian Technology. There's no way to avoid it unless Guangnian Technology admits defeat and voluntarily changes the release time. But there's no point in saying all this now. All we Chinese media people can do is hope that this new phone from Honghu Terminal and Guangnian Technology will bring us some unexpected surprises."

A collective sigh rippled through the crowd. Most people viewed the current state of the press conference with pessimism, but since it was, after all, a Chinese company, they still hoped for a miracle.

As time went by, half an hour quickly passed, the cultural and exhibition center opened, and the press conference was about to begin.

Hundreds of people from various media outlets, carrying equipment, followed staff into the venue through the media entrance.

Upon arriving at the theater hall where the press conference was to be held, Qian Deyang and others set up cameras and other equipment in the front row of the media section. Subsequently, several hundred more people entered and sat in the high-platform audience area behind the media section. These were ordinary fans and enthusiasts from the tech industry who had won tickets to the press conference online.

Now that everyone had arrived, the lights in the hall quickly dimmed, and the announcer's press conference officially began.

The large screen on the way to the stage suddenly lit up, and after a cool animation, the logo of Honghu Terminal appeared. The spotlight shone on one side of the stage, and Meng Kaigu, the head of Honghu Terminal, walked onto the stage amidst enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the launch event for the latest Honghu M10 mobile phone from Honghu Terminals."

"With the arrival of the new world, the mobile phones we use have rapidly evolved from simple communication tools for making and receiving calls and sending and receiving text messages into indispensable smart devices in our lives today. The phones in our hands have also grown from the size of bricks to the size of full-screen displays we have today. However, as time goes by and smartphones continue to add functions and upgrade their hardware, a new problem has emerged: our phones are getting heavier and heavier, even showing a tendency to revert to their original brick-like size, while battery life is constantly declining. Previously, we only needed to charge them once every day or two or a week, but now we need to charge them once a day, or even once every half day, or even every few hours. I think this is unacceptable. The reason a mobile phone is called a mobile phone is that it is becoming increasingly intelligent while maintaining good portability. Therefore, Honghu Technology has summarized the three major pain points of today's smartphones."

"First, weight; second, battery life; third, computing power."

"And the Honghu M10 we are launching today will solve all three of these major pain points in one fell swoop!"

As Meng Kaigu finished speaking, the spotlights went out, and the large screen on the stage began to play a promotional animation for the Honghu M10. When the animation ended and the spotlight returned to Meng Kaigu, he was holding a Honghu M10 phone that was exactly the same as the one in the promotional animation.

At that moment, everyone present was stunned.

The first impression of this phone is its thinness; it's incredibly thin. The design embodies the exquisite craftsmanship that Honghu phones have always been known for, but at its widest point, it's less than half a finger's width. Its appearance completely surpasses the bulky, black smartphones currently on the Blue Star market.

How small must the battery be for such a narrow phone? Is the battery life really not a problem?

Meng Kaigu quickly provided an answer to this question.

"The HHM10 uses the latest element compression technology, and a full charge can last for half a month under high intensity."

These words caused an uproar at the scene.

It's not just because of the new term "element compression technology," but also because of the amazing battery life of up to half a month.

However, this was not the end. Meng Kaigu's next sentence was like a thunderbolt, completely shocking the entire audience.

"The Honghu M10 uses the latest Lightyear 6 chip from Lightyear Technology, which uses a 0.1-nanometer process."

0.1 nanometer process?

At that moment, everyone was in a panic, and countless people stood up in shock, wondering if they had misheard.

When everyone saw the words "0.1 nanometers" appear in large gold on the screen behind Meng Kaigu, they finally realized they weren't dreaming; it was real!

It really is a 0.1 nanometer process!

"How is this possible..."

Qian Deyang stared blankly at the stage, camera in hand, having even forgotten to take pictures.

Does the 0.1-nanometer process break through the physical limits of silicon?

His colleague from the media next to him was also completely dumbfounded, muttering, "Oh no, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight..."

Qian Deyang didn't know if his colleagues would really be unable to sleep tonight, but the executives of Compino Company, who were watching the press conference across the ocean, were destined to have a sleepless night.

Chapter 453 The Whole Internet Goes Crazy

The press conference was still going on, but the scene had become chaotic, and staff had to come out to maintain order.

Countless people stood up in astonishment, their eyes glued to the stage, trying to get a clearer look at this marvelous machine equipped with a 0.1-nanometer chip.

Everyone was shocked by this terrifying data.

0.1 nanometers, breaking the physical limits of silicon-based chips... How was this achieved?

At this moment, everyone was staring intently at Meng Kaigu on the stage, hoping he could give a clear answer.

Looking at the utterly shocked expressions on the faces of the audience, Meng Kaigu smiled confidently and said, "I believe everyone is very interested in this Lightyear Six chip. Next, let's welcome Mr. Xiao Guangqi, Chairman of Lightyear Technology, to personally explain the secrets of this chip. Please give him a round of applause."

Amidst thunderous applause, Meng Kaigu stepped off the stage and handed over the reins to Xiao Guangqi. Xiao Guangqi, now on stage, exuded an aura of unparalleled confidence, his face beaming with an irrepressible smile.

"Hello everyone, I am Xiao Guangqi, Chairman of Guangnian Technology."

"I believe everyone is curious about how we managed to break through the physical limits and achieve 0.1 nanometer technology. Is it magic? I want to tell you here that you must believe in science. We did not break through the physical limits of silicon-based chips. Even if those great figures in the field of physics were still alive, they wouldn't have been able to do that. The reason we were able to achieve 0.1 nanometer technology is simply because we chose a different path, a path completely different from silicon-based chips, which we call the Purple Crystal Chip!"

As Xiao Guangqi finished speaking, countless even more shocked shouts erupted from the audience.

一件事情从0到100，艰难的往往不是1到100，而是最一开始的从0到1。

The semiconductor industry has not seen any breakthroughs for many years due to material limitations. Since the advent of silicon-based chips, the progress of its technology has been hampered only by time and the efforts of researchers. Its step-by-step development, gradually reaching the limits of physical properties, was foreseeable from the moment silicon-based chips appeared, a fact known to all.

If humanity wants to achieve a breakthrough, there is only one path to take: to find new materials.

Carbon was once widely considered another element that could potentially replace silicon, until today...

And right now, at this very moment, the Zijing chip has made its grand debut at this very press conference!

Subsequently, more and more data was displayed, and as everyone expected, its energy efficiency and computing power far surpassed any chip currently on Earth.

As the press conference continued, people were already amazed by the power of this new material chip, and even the phone's other major highlight, the super-long battery life, was subconsciously overlooked by many.

Even after the press conference ended and the attendees left the cultural and exhibition center, most of them were still in a state of complete bewilderment.

After all, what happened today was so surreal that many people are still wondering if they are dreaming.

On the plaza outside the cultural convention center, Qian Deyang was excitedly chatting with his colleagues while holding equipment; he was extremely excited at that moment.

Today is an incredibly exciting day for Chinese science and technology enthusiasts.

We not only witnessed Lightyear Technology's incredible comeback against Compino, but also the nascent emergence of new material chips!

Qian Deyang is now eager to upload the video of the press conference he filmed to the internet so that more people can share in his excitement.

At 3 p.m. that day, numerous media outlets, as well as the official accounts of Honghu Terminal and Guangnian Technology, released the complete recording of the press conference across the entire internet.

As the recording of the entire press conference was released, a massive earthquake immediately struck China's tech and digital industry, and the shockwaves quickly spread to all sectors, major social media platforms, and forums. Even those who don't usually pay much attention to digital technology knew that Lightyear Technology had released a groundbreaking chip.

Major news portals were also flooded with sensational headlines and other related headlines.

[Shocking! Lightyear Technology's latest chip uses a brand-new material called amethyst!]

[Lightyear Technology and Honghu Terminal jointly released their latest mobile phone, equipped with a 0.1-nanometer process chip, boasting a battery life of up to 15 days!]

[Breaking the limits of physics? The president of Compino posted a message on an overseas website in the early hours of the morning, denouncing Lightyear Technology for false advertising.]

Just as related news was trending, the first batch of media testing devices also arrived in the hands of various testing media outlets.

Qian Deyang's "Test First" studio released a video immediately after receiving and testing the phone, using the title "[Twenty Years Ahead of the Industry]" to express the studio members' shock.

In the video, Qian Deyang sits in front of the camera, holding the Honghu M10 phone, and says with a look of amazement, "This is absolutely an amazing phone. Powered by the Lightyear 6 chip, its performance is even stronger than all the computers in our studio combined. Discussing performance with this phone is meaningless, as its performance has completely surpassed its time. Of course, there's another aspect of the Honghu M10 that's somewhat overshadowed by its chip, but equally astonishing: its battery life. Maintaining Honghu's consistently perfect aesthetics, it has packed a battery with a brand-new element compression technology into such a slim body, allowing for a full 15 days of high-powered battery life on a single charge! I believe this phone is absolutely the beginning of Lightyear Technology and Honghu Terminal's ascent to the throne of the entire Blue Star digital technology circle!"

Qian Deyang's video is just a microcosm of many media outlets. Countless review media outlets, after experiencing the phone, all expressed the same feelings as Qian Deyang. The wave of amazement and praise attracted countless onlookers. As the news spread further, more information was unearthed.

On a certain technology forum, someone posted photos of prominent figures in China's science and technology community, such as Xiao Guangqi and Meng Kaigu, attending a science and technology exhibition in Beijing hosted by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Just hours after these photos were released, Haili Group, China's leading smart home company, announced the launch of a brand-new personal portable air conditioner that uses the same element compression technology as the Honghu mobile phone battery.

But Haili Group's announcement seemed to be just the beginning of a storm sweeping across various industries in China. Following closely behind, Wenxin Jiayuan Group, China's first home decoration machinery company, announced the launch of a new, technology-driven, non-electrically powered suspended elevator; Zheng Guoqiu, head of Keli Group, a leader in the materials and chemical industry, posted on social media that the company was developing dozens of new materials that could be used in various fields such as military, civilian, and aerospace; and China National Pharmaceutical Group announced a collaboration with the Institute of Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to research a new type of plant that may potentially cure some terminal illnesses in the future…

Etc., etc.

Countless industries and countless new technologies emerged overnight, like a whirlwind.

As people watched these bombshell announcements send shockwaves through various industries, they were shocked to discover that all the people associated with the companies announcing the new technologies had appeared in the photos in that tech forum post.

At this point, everyone finally realized that these companies had probably all received technical support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, just as everyone was shocked by the terrifying technological reserves of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, an even more explosive piece of news was announced by the poster who had previously posted photos on a science and technology forum.

All these new technologies benefited from China's exploration of the alien continent of Teyvat.

At this moment, the entire internet went crazy.

Chapter 454 The West in a Dilemma

Teyvat.

This was the first time the Chinese people had learned the true name of this mysterious, unknown alien world.

And along with this name came countless new technologies that emerged overnight.

This is destined to be a day that the Chinese people will never forget.

This is also a day that the Western bloc will repeatedly experience in its nightmares.

At midnight in China, which was noon in the United States, news from China was transmitted to the international internet via undersea fiber optic cables, and the entire international internet instantly descended into the same frenzy as the Chinese internet.

On Bluebird, the largest social chat software in the United States, the CEO of Compino Company has posted more than a dozen updates. He has been waiting for news of the launch of Honghu Terminal's latest mobile phone since midnight in the United States, and he has not slept since then. This is because he has been shocked by the news coming from China. The content of his updates has changed from initially denouncing Guangnian Technology's false advertising to disbelief. It can be said that the events in China have overturned his worldview overnight.
