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

His latest post, in which he wondered if he was hallucinating, has garnered an explosive number of comments from netizens around the world.

"I was wondering what had happened in China that made the CEO of Compino call it false advertising, until I just saw the news that Lightyear Technology released a 0.1-nanometer chip."

"0.1 nanometer process? How is that possible? Has light-year technology broken through the physical limits? This is just false advertising, isn't it?"

"Those above probably don't have the confidence to read the reports. The latest chip from Lightyear Technology doesn't use silicon, but a new type of semiconductor that is said to come from another world, called Amethyst Block. Lightyear Technology calls this new material chip the Amethyst Chip."

"Another world? Isn't another world just a fake one?"

"Hehe, the person who asked this question is obviously a fool who has been blinded by media reports. You really believe that other worlds don't exist, just because the Huacheng Post and other media say so? People in China have already tested this 0.1 nanometer chip on their phones. The test videos are everywhere now. Its performance far surpasses all chips on the market, including computer chips. This is enough to prove that this 0.1 nanometer process is real."

"Yes, not only new material chips, but yesterday China also announced a variety of new technologies such as element compression technology, power-free levitation elevators, and new drugs. It is said that they all come from the research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on other worlds."

"My God, does this mean that other worlds really exist? Or has our media been misleading us all along?"

As news of various new technologies from China continues to spread to the international internet, more and more evidence is proving that other worlds truly exist. Suddenly, countless people on the international internet are realizing that they seem to be the ones being deceived by their own media outlets when it comes to matters related to other worlds.

The entire international internet was thrown into chaos by public opinion.

Some are condemning the Western media's cover-up, some still don't believe the news coming from within China, and others are clamoring for China to reveal its new technologies.

On a news program in Country M that day, an invited commentator made the following remarks during a live interview with the program host.

“Now that China is under our collective blockade, its foreign economic and trade activities are in trouble. We can ask them to exchange new technologies for lifting the blockade.”

These remarks immediately garnered widespread approval from many people on foreign websites.

"Chinese people are selfish and self-interested. The emergence of new technologies should benefit the entire planet and make everyone benefit."

"I agree with this commentator's point of view. We can completely lock down China and force them to offer new technologies in exchange."

"Without Earth, China won't last long. As long as we continue the blockade and intensify our efforts, it won't be long before China is begging us to exchange new technologies for it."

Amidst the chorus of mindless support, there are also rational voices condemning the folly of this idea.

"Foolish, utterly foolish! Are you all obsessed with zero-sum thinking? Do you even know that many of the new technologies China has mastered are epoch-making? Is the blockade imposed on China by Western countries actually blocking China or blocking the West itself? China begging for the blockade to be lifted? Don't dream about it. It's not certain who's begging whom. The blockade of China is absolutely the worst decision Western politicians have ever made. They are destroying the West's future with their own hands. We should take the initiative to lift the blockade and seek cooperation with China; that's the right path."

However, such voices are ultimately in the minority. After years of brainwashing propaganda by Western media, the arrogance of most Westerners, led by the United States, towards China has been ingrained in their bones, and rational voices were quickly drowned out in the chaos.

However, attitude is one thing, but action is another.

There's a saying that goes, "Supporters vote with their feet, not their mouths."

Due to the high tariffs imposed by the blockade, the price of the HHM10 phone in Western countries is four to five times that in China. However, even with such an exorbitant price, after the HHM10 went on pre-sale in Western countries, the sales platforms of HHM on foreign websites were still overwhelmed and crashed. The HHM10 phone instantly became a case of supply falling short of demand on foreign websites.

A well-known electronics terminal product company in Country M held a board meeting overnight and decided to seek cooperation with Lightyear Technology, even at the cost of high tariffs, and to purchase Lightyear Technology's Amethyst chips in large quantities. They knew that if they did not do so, they would be finished once their competitors started using the Amethyst chips, which outperformed everything else.

A renowned international medical university in Japan attempted to establish an exchange and cooperation program with Huaxia Biomedical University, a subsidiary of the Institute of Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, by sending personnel to study there. However, Huaxia Biomedical University informed them that relevant applications from all over the world were already booked for several years.

The above is just a glimpse.

As more and more people noticed these changes, countless keyboard warriors who were still clamoring online to block and boycott China were left bewildered.

What's going on? Wasn't it agreed that we would blockade and boycott China? Why are you all secretly going to cooperate with China?

There's a barrage of criticism online against organizations and companies that cooperate with China, and even individuals who buy Chinese products.

A strange phenomenon has even emerged: online keyboard warriors silently hurl insults, yet in reality, despite high tariffs and numerous cooperation orders and requests, they flock to China.

This situation amused many netizens in China.

"They're all talk and no action, though."

"Keyboard warriors know no nationality."

"Awesome, so awesome! I just saw someone on a foreign website complaining that they wanted to buy the HHM10 but the price was too high. Heh, blocking us, imposing high tariffs, they've shot themselves in the foot and are reaping what they sowed."

"The internet is really exciting right now. I wonder what the reaction is in Huacheng, M country. I bet that president is green with envy."

Just as everyone at home and abroad was wondering about Huacheng's reaction, the Western countries finally took action—announcing a further strengthening of the blockade against China, prohibiting the export of a large number of goods to China, and at the same time announcing restrictions on the sale of some Chinese goods in Western countries.

Inside the Senate in Beijing, the Grand Elder, having received the latest news, said to Zhang Changyun, who was discussing matters with him in his office, "Huacheng has made a move."

Zhang Changyun nodded and said, "As we expected, they are now in a dilemma in the face of our new technologies. They crave new technologies but cannot bring themselves to lift the blockade, because the credibility of Western governments would collapse if the blockade were lifted. Now they can only continue to increase pressure and force us to submit by locking down our market."

The Grand Elder took a deep breath.

"The next period should be the most difficult for us. We must open up the great loop with the Teyvat continent."

"It all depends on that kid Ivan."

Chapter 455 Two Tasks

"Completely cutting off the market... Has the lockdown been strengthened again...?"

Looking at the international news reports on his phone about the Western bloc intensifying its blockade, Ivan took a deep breath and looked up at the thick fog in the distance.

At this moment, Ivan is on a ship returning to the continent of Teyvat, and the fleet has already reached the World Gate.

Paimon's petite body rested on Ivan's head, enjoying the sea breeze.

Since waking up, Paimon has not fallen back asleep. He couldn't explain why, only saying it was a vague feeling.

Since such mystical matters were uncertain, Ivan simply didn't delve any deeper into them.

In any case, Paimon's awakening made Ivan's sometimes monotonous days less boring, and he could chat with her to relax after finishing his official duties.

On this return to Teyvat, besides sending back the people who came to visit China, including Qin, Ningguang, and Ayaka Kamisato, Ivan also had two important missions to carry out.

The continued tightening of the blockade against China by Western powers was foreseeable. Faced with the near-complete severing of the international market on Earth, China will face an extremely difficult period ahead. Therefore, the first task is to establish a large-scale market circulation between China and Teyvat. This is crucial for China's ability to withstand this round of blockade. Once this most critical round of blockade is successfully weathered, the balance of power will completely shift.

The second task is to prepare for the relocation of the entire Huaxia region to the Teyvat continent.

Since Paimon's prophecy appeared, the Senate has attached great importance to it. However, all the clues they have so far point to the United States. There is not much that China can do. Judging from the current situation, the Senate can only prepare for the worst in advance. If Earth really cannot withstand the invasion of the destructive aura, at least China still has the ability to protect itself and can continue its civilization by transferring to the continent of Teyvat.

Of course, this plan will not be activated unless absolutely necessary. If the destructive aura can be prevented from invading Blue Star and changing the prophecy's outcome, that would be the best outcome. Therefore, China is also secretly sending people to search for the destructive aura that may be lurking in the United States. Ivan does not know much about this, and the relevant actions are handled by other specialists.

Half a day later, the fleet passed through the World Gate and returned to Mondstadt.

During this trip to China, Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma all signed multiple trade cooperation agreements with China, and all four parties benefited greatly. After returning to Teyvat, the governments of the three countries urgently needed to digest the impact of this trip. Therefore, after the fleet docked at Eagle Harbor, Ningguang and Ayaka Kamisato did not linger and immediately led their two disciples back to Liyue and Inazuma by sea. Afterwards, the two countries will send representatives to the Mondstadt Pan-China Teyvat Alliance headquarters to coordinate matters with the Chinese side.

Meanwhile, after the fleet docked, Qin greeted Ivan and immediately returned to the Knights' headquarters, while Ivan led Paimon, Xiang Feng, and others straight to the headquarters of the Pan-Chinese Xia Tiwat Organization Alliance.

For the next period of time, the work of opening up the market circulation between China, Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma will take place here. Ivan will also move here temporarily from the Chinese Embassy in Mondstadt.

Time waits for no one, and after a brief night's rest, Ivan got back to work.

Accompanying Ivan back to Teyvat were personnel from the Chinese Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Commerce, sent by the Senate. Specialized areas were naturally left to professionals; the implementation of relevant trade agreements and other matters would be handled by the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Finance, with Ivan only needing to assist, which eased his burden considerably. Ivan's main focus remained on preparing for a possible future nationwide migration of China to Teyvat.

The first step is the location.

If China were to truly migrate to Teyvat, it would need a place to settle down, no matter the reason.

Because the land area of ​​China is enormous compared to the Teyvat kingdoms, this matter requires utmost caution.

After multiple map comparisons, the final preliminary location was determined to be the entire eastern sea area of ​​Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma.

Besides the location, the second most important factor is the support of space teleportation technology.

After the practical transfer operations in Qindao City and Inazuma Island, the space technology research team led by Han Jie has accumulated certain experience. At the same time, some key information was verified during the previous transfer operations, which enabled the research team to make new breakthroughs in the research of space teleportation technology. Currently, the space technology research team is making good progress. According to Han Jie's estimate, it will take at most two or three months to initially master active large-scale space teleportation.

Of course, Ivan had also considered that if China landed on the Teyvat continent, it might cause the seawater to be pushed out, forming a tsunami that would impact Mondstadt, Liyue, Inatsuki, and other countries. For this reason, Ivan had specifically visited Han Jie, but the answer he received was that there was no need to worry, because the object after spatial teleportation is actually spatial superposition. Simply put, the teleported object is superimposed on the original object, replacing its original position in space, which relieved Ivan.

While Ivan was working non-stop, the establishment of the large-scale circular trade market was also in full swing.

After Ningguang and Ayaka Kamisato returned to Liyue and Inazuma respectively, both countries quickly sent representatives to Mondstadt. Subsequently, the four parties—China, Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma—held a meeting for several days at the Pan-China Teyvat Alliance headquarters. The most important issue at the meeting was the establishment of the infrastructure plan.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

If we want to establish a truly reliable large-scale circular market, ensuring the stability of the flow and transportation of trade goods is crucial, and infrastructure construction is the most important link. Good infrastructure construction will greatly improve the efficiency of trade transportation.

Over the past six months, the cooperation between China and Mondstadt has helped Mondstadt establish a large number of relatively complete and modern infrastructures. However, Liyue and Inazuma still need further development in terms of infrastructure, such as highway networks, airports, and large automated docks.

In particular, for Inazuma, because Inazuma is an island nation, a highly efficient, modern, large-scale automated port is crucial for Inazuma's trade. It wouldn't be ideal if the transportation took two days by land, only to take half a month to load and unload the goods at the port.

Once the infrastructure planning is complete, the specific trade projects will begin.

Although the four countries' governments signed a large number of trade orders this time, a truly large-scale circular market is composed of both official and private trade. Official orders play a leading role, but the bulk of trade depends on private trade. Only when people take the initiative to participate can a healthy large-scale market cycle be formed.

To this end, China has established the "Cross-border Plan".

Meanwhile, the research team, comprised of representatives from various sectors of Chinese private enterprises who joined the first batch of cross-industry initiatives, was also preparing to depart...

Chapter 456 No need to treat anyone

In front of the East China Sea Fleet's port base in Qingshan City, the destroyer Lanyang is ready to set sail.

In the distance, Wang Mingjun, carrying luggage, was sandwiched in the crowd, looking around with curiosity.

A few days ago, their Jin Yun International Trading Company received a notice from the relevant departments of Huaxia Magic City that they had joined the "Cross-border Project". The company selected sixteen of their elite employees to participate in this project and go to the other world of Teyvat to conduct market research in preparation for subsequent trade.

(See chapters 444 and 445 for details.)

After several days of waiting, the group finally received the departure notice from the relevant authorities and flew overnight from Demon City to Green Mountain City.

Of course, it's not just Wang Mingjun's international trading company that's participating in the cross-industry project. People from all walks of life are involved. The first batch of people who traveled to Teyvat on the Blue Ocean destroyer alone numbered over 300, and more people will join the project in the future.

Standing in front of the naval port, looking at the warships docked on the shore, Wang Mingjun felt a surge of emotion.

As a man, no matter how old he gets, he will always have a fascination with warships, fighter jets, tanks, and artillery. The thought that these imposing warships, which he usually only saw on his phone and on TV news, were now right before his eyes, and that he would even be able to board one soon, filled Wang Mingjun with excitement. If photography weren't prohibited inside the naval base, Wang Mingjun would definitely have taken pictures to remember the occasion, so he could brag to his good friend Yan Ruyu later that he had been on a warship.

As Wang Mingjun gazed absently at the distant warship, several of his colleagues from the same company were also having a lively discussion.

I don't think so.

"No, I think there must be."

"I also think it's probably not possible."

"No, let's ask someone else."

"Just ask... a wise ruler, a wise ruler."

Suddenly hearing someone call his name, Wang Mingjun turned around, somewhat puzzled.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Brother Jun, Brother Jun, you be the judge."

A girl with short, ear-length hair rushed up and grabbed Wang Mingjun's arm, her face full of indignation.

The girl in front of me is named Li Yina. She is one of the younger colleagues on this trip. She is a girl who has just graduated from university. She is outgoing and has strong initiative. She has been recognized by the company for her work for a short time. She has two big, bright eyes and a chubby baby face that puffs up like a little bun when she gets angry. She is very cute. Therefore, she is often the subject of harmless jokes or pranks in the company, just to see her chubby little bun face.

Looking at Li Yina's face, which had puffed up like a little bun, Wang Mingjun knew that her colleagues must be teasing her.
