Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

143: The end of manufacturing: we can print all industrial products!When the Chief’s ultimate declaration, filled with ”kingly dominance” and ”grand vision”—”This isn’t destruction, it’s rebirth”—resounded clearly in the control room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, Long Weiguo’s heart, which had been tempered as firm as a rock by countless storms, began to pound uncontrollably at this moment!

Rebirth! Rebirth!

He seemed to have already seen it!

A new, great era that has completely broken free from the constraints of land and resources!

An era where everyone can enjoy all the world’s delicacies without leaving their homes.

A new era of cuisine!

Is slowly rising!

And the one ushering in this great era is the young god who is currently calmly eating ”printed” Buddha’s Temptation with his parents!

Young God!

Just as the entire Xia Nation was plunged into a foodie frenzy by the ”food printer” that could make even immortals drool.

An even more terrifying and subversive industrial storm!

Also silently kicked off!

The Hongjun Matter Creation Project Team under Pangu Technology officially announced to the world—

They will hold an unprecedented product launch event three days later at the Pangu Technology Headquarters Building in Jinghai City, Xia Nation!

There is only one protagonist of the press conference! That is ”Artisan” No. 1!

The first truly industrial-grade general-purpose

Matter Printer in human history!

Boom!!!

This news was like a supernova capable of igniting the entire Solar System!

Instantly, it set the entire global industrial sector ablaze!

”Holy crap! What did I see?! Pangu Technology is actually going to commercialize that heaven-defying ’matter printing’ technology?!”

”God! Are they even letting people live?! They just used the ’food printer’ to completely subvert the global catering industry! Now they’re coming for our manufacturing industry?!”

”It’s over! It’s all f***ing over! All us old guys who’ve worked hard in real industries our whole lives are about to be collectively unemployed!”

”No! We absolutely cannot sit back and do nothing! We must unite to resist Pangu Technology’s technological hegemony!”

For a time!

The entire world’s internet was filled with wails!

All the Western industrial giants who were previously proud and confident of their vast traditional manufacturing!

All looked like pitiful ants about to be mercilessly crushed by the wheels of history!

Trembling with fear!

Terrified!

They knew.

From the moment Pangu Technology announced this press conference!

Their proud industrial hegemony, which had led the world for hundreds of years!

Had completely come to an end!

Three days later.

It was still the Pangu Technology Headquarters Building, full of futuristic technology.

And still the same group of global media, full of curiosity and anticipation!

Only this time, sitting in the first row of VIP seats, were no longer the bigwigs from gaming companies.

But a group of equally wealthy but more ”steel” and ”grease” flavored

Industrial giant CEOs!

Larry Culp of Western Alliance General Electric!

Roland Busch of German Siemens!

Shunichi Miyanaga of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries from Sakura Island Nation!

All the super-giants who usually controlled the lifeline of trillions of industrial industries globally!

All gathered here!

There was no excitement on their faces about witnessing a new era!

Only a look of utter despair, as if mourning a death!

They knew.

They weren’t here today for some damn press conference.

But for the collective funeral of their vast industrial empires!

Funeral!

”Everyone.”

Just then!

The lights at the press conference suddenly dimmed!

The spotlight once again shone on the young man who was a bit too young!

Lu Chen was still wearing his simple white research uniform.

His face still wore that harmless, innocent smile.

As if it wasn’t he who was about to personally end an old era.

But a random passerby who had nothing to do with him.

”I know everyone is feeling heavy-hearted coming here today.”

”But”

He changed the subject!

A trace of cold rationality flashed in his dark eyes, as vast as the universe!

”The wheel of history rolls forward.”

”Anyone who tries to stop it, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

”Fools.”

”Will be crushed to dust!”

”Today!”

”I stand here to announce to the world!”

”That old industrial era, full of pollution, waste, and inefficiency!”

”Will completely become history!”

”And a brand new, green, efficient, and on-demand industrial era!”

”Will be ushered in by me!”

”To usher in!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

He slowly raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers in the air!

”heavenly craft!”

”Activate ’Artisan’!”

The next second!

”Buzz—!!!”

A dull yet solemn roar, filled with a sense of future technology, resounded throughout the entire press conference venue!

A massive industrial-grade matter printer, resembling a black obelisk, full of violent aesthetics and minimalist beauty!

Matter Printer!

Slowly rose from directly below the stage!

It is—

”Artisan” No. 1!

A terrifying industrial mother machine capable of making all factories worldwide collectively go out of business!

Industrial Mother Machine!

”Oh, my God!”

”This is... this is the matter printer?!”

Below the stage, all the reporters and industrial giants from around the world sprang up from their chairs like a group of frightened wretches who had seen a ghost!

Their faces were filled with unprecedented, ghastly horror and revolutionary shock!

And Lu Chen, as if he had done something insignificant.

He looked at the ”bumpkins” below who were completely stunned, smiled faintly.

And then gave the first printing command to the black obelisk.

Command!

”heavenly craft.”

”Print the latest ’Kuafu’”

”Photon Chip.”

Photon Chip.”

[Command received.]

The next second!

”Buzz—”

A faint buzzing sound was heard!

The black obelisk instantly lit up with a light blue glow, filled with creative energy!

Light!

An invisible, powerful, terrifying energy field capable of reorganizing matter!

Instantly enveloped the entire stage!

Under the completely stunned gaze of everyone!

A crystal-clear, small chip, like a piece of crystal!

Actually appeared out of thin air!

Then slowly landed in Lu Chen’s fair palm!

”This, this, this...”

Below the stage, all the knowledgeable chip experts went wild!

They pointed at the crystal chip in Lu Chen’s hand, filled with subversive innovation, their lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence!

They knew!

What this meant!

It meant that the lithography machine, the pinnacle of industrial technology that had plagued human civilization for decades!

In front of this black obelisk!

Had actually become a ridiculous, outdated antique!

However

This was just a small beginning.

”heavenly craft.”

Lu Chen looked at the industrial giants below who were completely dumbfounded, a devilish smile curling at the corner of his lips.

”Print our Xia Nation’s latest ’Taihang’”

”Aero Engine.”

Boom!!!

These words were like an anti-matter bomb capable of destroying the entire global manufacturing industry!

Fiercely striking the depths of the souls of all the industrial giants present!

They were completely petrified!

Aero engine?!

That was hailed as the ”flower of modern industry,” the pinnacle of industrial

Crown!

You actually want to ”print” that thing directly?!

Are you crazy?!

However

Before they could recover from this huge, subversive shock.

”Buzz—”

A duller roar sounded!

The black obelisk once again lit up with brilliant light!

The next second!

A brand new aero engine, composed of tens of thousands of precision parts, full of violent aesthetics and complex beauty!

Aero Engine!

Appeared out of thin air in the center of the stage!

Exuding a cold aura of death that would make all opponents tremble!

”No... impossible...” Larry Culp, CEO of Western Alliance General Electric, slumped into his chair, utterly distraught, as he watched this scene that could only be described as a ”miracle”!

His blue eyes were filled with endless despair!

It’s over!

It’s all f***ing over!

Their General Electric’s proud engine hegemony, which had led the world for hundreds of years!

Hegemony!

Today!

In front of this black, unreasonable obelisk!

Was completely crushed to pieces!

Was completely crushed to pieces!

And at this moment.

Kunlun Mountain Underground Base.

Was calmly watching the live broadcast of the ”Industrial Revolution” being transmitted in real-time by heavenly craft on the screen in front of him.

Live.

There was no ripple on his face.

As if the ”universal printer” that could drive the whole world crazy was, in his eyes, just an interesting industrial model.

Next to him, Long Weiguo looked at his calm expression and couldn’t help but ask:

”Aren’t you worried at all?”

”Worried about what?” he asked faintly.

”Worried,” Long Weiguo’s voice was heavy, ”worried that once this technology becomes widespread.”

”It will completely destroy our entire nation’s industrial system!”

”Destroy?”

”No, Weiguo.”

”You’re wrong.”

”This isn’t destruction.”

”This is evolution.”
