Just one day later, which was ten days after entering the spirit ring, Ruan Mianmian came out.

Through Dr. Zhou, she found an expert in neurons and neuronal signal encoding, and then obtained several currently used machines from the expert.

Dean Zhou personally delivered the machine and asked Ruan Mianmian, "What do you need this for? Although technology is advancing rapidly, the interpretation of neuronal signals is still in its infancy. It is said to be able to process millions of signals, but in terms of application, there is basically not much progress."

He was overjoyed to learn that Ruan Mianmian and Tang You had brought back a high-tech civilization, expecting it to include neuronal technology. However, he was surprised to find that it was virtually nonexistent in that area.

That federation seems to focus more on real-world development, and doesn't have any particularly outstanding achievements in virtual reality.

Now that Ruan Mianmian suddenly wants this kind of machine, he can't help but think a lot. Of course, he doesn't dare to have too much hope. Just like the experts on the neuron side, they know they need the machine, but they don't think it's for any improvement. They just think they want to use it or do experiments, so not a single person comes.

Ruan Mianmian said excitedly, "Give me the machine first, and I'll tell you when I figure it out." After saying that, she took the machine and flashed into the spirit ring.

Zhou Yuan reached out to call out to Ruan Mianmian, but Ruan Mianmian was nowhere to be seen.

He withdrew Er Kang's hand and decided to wait where he was.

Just then, the phone rang. After listening to a few words, his expression changed: "America is as shameless as ever!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the spot where Ruan Mianmian had been standing, sighed, and left.

There are many high-tech technologies and magical arts in China, but unfortunately, research progress is not yet advanced, so they cannot be announced for the time being.

Otherwise, how could America have gotten so arrogant?

Previously, they hinted that they wouldn't sell this enhanced bulletproof vest to the University of Tokyo. When the University of Tokyo didn't respond, they pretended to back down and said they were willing to sell it, but hoped that the University of Tokyo would share the anti-gravity technology or new energy technology of the flying car!

That enhanced bulletproof vest actually dares to dream of advanced technologies like anti-gravity and new energy sources. Only America, who's always been so arrogant, would dare to say that.

It's infuriating that there's a group of people in China, some of whom are obviously not human, who are also calling for an exchange, saying that life-saving technology is more important than any other technology, and that once the technology is made public, they can collect high patent fees, so exchanging it would be a win-win situation.

To Zhou Yuan's surprise, America was really willing to spend a lot of money this time, and she also joined forces with the Chrysanthemum Country, creating a frenzy of public opinion on the Chinese internet calling for "exchange".

When asked about this, the spokesperson gave a brief response: "my country loves peace and has always hoped that all countries would work together to create a harmonious global village. We strongly support technological exchanges, but we have not yet reached a consensus on the specific methods and dates of such exchanges."

Yu Qingqing and Qi Wan were both just grassroots workers, not involved in politics. They were shocked and furious upon seeing this reply, and both went to Tang You: "Does the country really want to have exchanges? Has someone at the top been infiltrated, which is why they are considering such an absurd request from America?"

Tang You looked at the two exasperated people and smiled to soothe them, "Don't worry, don't worry, this is just polite talk." She then explained, "The fact that we haven't reached a consensus on the way of technical exchange means that we are not satisfied with their so-called technical exchange. In addition, if we are not satisfied, this lack of consensus will be extended indefinitely."

We are all major powers, and we need to pay attention to diplomatic etiquette. We certainly won't openly break off relations or speak so bluntly.

Yu Qingqing and Qi Wan both breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Sigh, if it were me, I would have been blunt and called them shameless."

"Exactly, they made such a shameless request, we have to call them shameless to feel better."

Tang You smiled and shook her head: "The country definitely can't do that."

Everyone thought that was the end of it.

But to everyone's surprise, America was even more shameless than they imagined!

Two days after the University of Tokyo released its delaying statement, they realized that the University of Tokyo was unlikely to bring up the issue of technology exchange again. So they simply made the technology public and then stirred up controversy by saying that as a major power, they were willing to share technology and hoped that the University of Tokyo, as a first-class major power, could also share technology with other countries instead of keeping it to itself.

America came prepared. They not only mobilized an online army to cheer on the domestic forums of Tokyo University, but also put pressure on Tokyo University together with their allied countries, demanding that Tokyo University share its technology.

Logically speaking, no normal person would make such an absurd request, coerce someone into agreeing to it, or agree to it.

However, the power of money is so strong that such absurd voices are heard in various countries.

Besides the propaganda war, the United States, led by America, found a pretext and began threatening "economic sanctions" to demand that Tokyo University disclose its technology as soon as possible.

Let alone the higher-ups at the University of Tokyo, even ordinary netizens from the University of Tokyo find this whole thing surreal.

"Did I wake up too fast this morning? Why would anyone make such an absurd request?"

"It's terrifying. Not only are there calls for data exchange everywhere on the intranet, but there are also these calls on the external network."

"The world feels surreal, as if the whole world has become mentally challenged!"

Online public opinion can have a significant impact, but if the authorities remain unmoved, those voices online are just empty shouts.

However, economic sanctions in reality can truly affect the vital arteries of many people.

Not to mention, Xiong Guo, who had always cooperated with the University of Tokyo, suddenly terminated some of his cooperation, revealing his intention to betray the University of Tokyo.

By doing this, Xiong Guo is essentially sending a signal.

Suddenly, the whole world was filled with voices predicting the downfall of Tokyo University.

The impact of economic sanctions has also been clearly demonstrated.

The first to be affected are small companies engaged in foreign trade.

These small companies have seen a sharp drop in orders, and some have even lost all their orders altogether.

Small business owners are pessimistic and are coming out one after another to complain that they can't take it anymore, believing that with the combined efforts of various countries, Tokyo University has no chance of winning this time.

It's just anti-gravity technology, and it doesn't involve any national strategic equipment, so why not share it for discussion?

As the days went by, these voices grew louder and louder.

Su Jingchen, who was on medical parole, suddenly saw hope.

He thought that now that he was disfigured and the Su family's business was declining, while Ruan Mianmian was at the height of her career, if nothing unexpected happened, he would never have the chance to contact Ruan Mianmian again in his life.

However, if Ruan Mianmian fell from the sky and turned into a pheasant like before, wouldn't he and she have another chance to rekindle their romance?

So he took out his savings and spent money to create public opinion online, saying that Ruan Mianmian was a scientist from a common background and had a certain voice, and hoped that Ruan Mianmian would stand up and speak for the general public.

He had a good plan: regardless of whether Ruan Mianmian stood up or not, she would eventually be ruined.
