My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

"Wang Defa?! Is this paper genuine?"

"It's not April Fool's Day, how could someone publish such a paper... Oh my god, the author is Lin Chen?"

"Incredible! I saw in the news that Lin Chen was going to focus his energy on chip research, and this is his research result?"

"This is going to be interesting! The Chinese have already developed gene chips, so what's the point of the US's 'no-entry list'?"

The appearance of this paper was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving the global chip industry stunned.

Especially those multinational corporations that dominate the chip industry.

Intel, Qualcomm, ASML, and other companies trembled with fear upon hearing this news, hoping only that the paper was fake.

It was an April Fool's joke.

Otherwise, this paper would be a fatal blow to chip companies like them!

However, things didn't go as planned. Just when they were hoping the paper was fake, the Chinese government once again gave extensive coverage to Lin Chen's new breakthrough in its official news media.

"According to our station, Academician Lin Chen of the Longyan Academy of Sciences has recently developed the world's first gene chip with practical value!"

"This invention marks my country's official entry into the era of biological computers, and also means that we have broken the foreign blockade on chip technology!"

"According to Longke Institute, the performance of this gene chip exceeds that of the most advanced silicon-based chips currently on the market, and it has the advantages of high performance, high capacity, low energy consumption, and high durability."

"At the same time, Academician Lin Chen has submitted the technology patent to the state, and relevant departments have established a gene chip industry office. In the future, they will plan the gene chip industry chain in China in a unified manner and open up gene chip applications to enterprises across the country!"

In no time, Lin Chen's name spread throughout the country again along with this news article.

The major companies that were originally worried about the rejection list from the Americans were overjoyed.

Many companies' own media accounts even spontaneously reposted this news to express their joy.

"Lin Shen is awesome! Lin Shen is awesome!"

"Lin Shen really does what he says! He said he'd make chips, and he actually made them!"

"Imagine the psychological trauma Americans are experiencing right now!"

"With gene chips, who the hell would still want to use silicon-based chips? Let the Americans keep playing with their rejection lists! Anyway, they won't want any more chip-using devices in the future!"

"I was originally planning to buy a new phone, but now I realize it's unnecessary. I'll save the money and wait for the new phone with a biochip to be released!"

"The person upstairs is just waiting for a new phone? I've already started saving money to upgrade to something bigger. All the computers, phones, and TVs in my house with chips can be replaced with gene chips in the future!"

"As a stock investor, please accept my deepest respect, Lin Shen. Thanks to you, my stocks are finally recovering!"

"Isn't anyone else as angry as me? Because of Lin Shen, all the chips in the future will be gene chips, and all my four years of computer science education will be for nothing!"

Compared to the excitement and joy in public opinion within the Dragon Kingdom.

In the United States, however, the situation was one of widespread devastation.

Americans who initially hoped to temporarily delay the news by suppressing Lin Chen's paper were horrified to discover this.

Immediately after Lin Chen's paper was confirmed by the official media of China, the US stock market plummeted.

The companies that triggered the crash were precisely those high-tech companies that were once the leaders of the US stock market.

Intel, Qualcomm, Apple—the stock prices of almost any company related to chips have plummeted.

Although part of the reason is that the market has lost confidence in these companies.

But the bigger reason is that Americans are reaping the consequences of their own denial list policy.

When the US initially put forward the rejection list, its biggest reliance was that China did not have a chip manufacturing industry and had to depend on Western technology to manufacture chips.

But now the emergence of gene chips has allowed China to achieve a leapfrog development.

This directly addresses the shortcomings of China's chip industry from another perspective.

Although it will certainly take a considerable amount of time from the birth of gene chips to China's large-scale production and application in various industries.

The problem is that during this time, they clearly still had a chance to make one last big profit, but because of their country's laws, they couldn't even earn that one.

This is what really hurts Americans.

As a result, seeing their own stock prices plummet, the major chip and electronics giants in the United States could no longer sit still.

They joined forces and stormed the White House, demanding that the President immediately remove China from the list of countries rejected!

It's true that American pharmaceutical companies have a huge influence, and we can understand why you want to force the Chinese to hand over cancer treatment technology through the chip industry.

But you can't destroy the livelihood of all our electronics companies just for your own little bit of profit!

This unprecedented meeting, which forced the resignation of a leader, immediately became the focus of attention for all media outlets in the United States.

Under the watchful eyes of numerous cameras, the major U.S. chip giants were seen entering the White House.

Among them are the CEOs of Intel, Qualcomm, and even the heads of companies like Microsoft and Nvidia.

Even the president's close ally, Masco, sided with the chip companies and entered the White House together.

Although his Tesla has not been directly affected by this turmoil, its stock price has begun to fall.

Americans are already worried that once gene chips are applied to the electric vehicle field, Tesla will no longer have any technological advantage over Chinese automakers.

This meeting, which was intended to force the resignation of the leader, was held behind closed doors, and no media outlets were allowed to enter.

The meeting lasted for the entire afternoon.

When the meeting ended, reporters only saw these tech giants walking out of the White House with grim expressions, refusing to give interviews.

Fortunately, the White House held a press conference hosted by the Secretary of State, who was the initiator of the bill to reject Chinese chips.

"Mr. Secretary of State, Chinese scientist Lin Chen has developed the world's first gene chip. What is the White House's response to this? Will it consider removing China from its current chip rejection list?"

A television reporter asked, holding up a microphone.

"Cancel the rejection list? No, we're not considering that right now!"

The Secretary of State smiled calmly and composedly.

His response clearly exceeded the reporters' expectations, sparking a flurry of discussion among the audience.

Prior to the press conference, the general consensus was that even if the White House did not back down, it would consider temporarily opening a door for domestic chip companies to give them some way out.

Once China's biochips are widely adopted, almost no one in the world will need traditional silicon-based chips anymore.

This is their only and last window of opportunity to make a quick buck before biochips are widely adopted in China.

Unexpectedly, the White House rejected even this last chance.

"Mr. Secretary, could you explain your reasoning?"

"Of course!"

The Secretary of State, beaming, said, "That is precisely the purpose of this press conference."

"As you know, just before, those chip companies had already expressed their concerns about the future to the President."

"But I can tell you, just like I told those companies before, don't panic! The gene chip of the Chinese is just a gimmick, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"Because according to the intelligence we've gathered, China's gene chips are still a long way from being truly practical! Because they still lack a gene coding database!"

"As for what a gene coding database is, please allow me to explain it to you."

As the Secretary of State spoke, he took a slip of paper out of his pocket.

"This gene coding database is actually like a password repository. All the data in the gene chip exists in the form of DNA molecular chains. Without the gene coding database, it is impossible to read the information in the DNA molecular chains."

"So although China's gene chips sound amazing, without a gene coding database, these gene chips are actually just for show!"

"According to our experts' estimates, it will take at least three years for China to create a gene coding database!"

At this point, the Secretary of State smiled slightly again: "Three years... I think China's chip companies probably won't last that long."

Snapped!

The Secretary of State suddenly placed his hands on the podium and leaned forward slightly.

"So, fellow journalists and major chip companies in the United States, there's no need for you to panic!"

"The United States is currently engaged in a patent war with China! Unless China hands over the cancer treatment technology they stole, we will not consider removing it from the denial list!"

"This is a battle of wills! But I believe that victory will ultimately belong to us! Because..."

"The advantage is mine!"
