Chapter 98 -s 98, 99: Comprehensive Competition
The meeting lasted for a total of two days. Aside from a few minor issues at the beginning, they spent the entire following day discussing this so-called “comprehensive competition” plan!
At the end of the meeting, journalists from various countries were waiting outside, eager to interview them.
Facing the reporters, Bai Ying smiled and said, “We had a very pleasant discussion this time and drafted a comprehensive cooperation plan. We will announce this plan to the world shortly.”
Hans, John, Canada, Japan, France, Rome, and others also smiled in agreement. They each returned to their countries to begin their deployments.
…
In the Xuanwu Executive Officer chat group, the executives were discussing the matter.
“At this meeting, their behavior was unusually consistent, as if they had reached some agreement!” Cui Weimin said, “This is very abnormal!”
Although these people held a meeting once every year, many times the efforts were futile, and there were also internal disagreements among the members!
But this year, these members were surprisingly united, without any discordant voices.
“No need to guess, it’s definitely related to us,” Kong Qing said.
“*I hope they can pay some attention to the pollution and mutant creatures issues,*” Lv Mei sighed. *”If we rely solely on ourselves, who knows when this global crisis will be resolved?”*
*Imagine, even if Shen Zhou exerted all its efforts to keep the Zerg at bay from the mainland, what if other places fail to hold them back? Wouldn’t that become a paradise for the Zerg, allowing these alien species to evolve unrestrained?*
He Xingzhou spoke, “So we must build planetary fortresses! In the future, we will definitely face Zerg threats in other regions!”
“They have announced the news!” Cui Weimin was the first to receive the information. He forwarded the document and commented, “Goodness, this time they are really ruthless, wanting to engage in comprehensive competition with us!”
The document contained the results of the meeting announced by Bai Ying and others. He Xingzhou skipped most of it and focused on a few highlighted items at the end.
“They plan to establish a global marine protection and biological research institution, funded and staffed by multiple parties,” Song Jinhong analyzed. “This is intended to study mutant creatures.”
“These guys won’t admit to pollution and mutations, but their actions are quite honest!”
This did not surprise anyone. With so many mutant creatures appearing, it would be strange if they didn’t study them. The key is whether they will really invest a large amount of money and manpower, or if this research institution will just be a facade to placate environmentalists?
“There’s another point, comprehensive cooperation has been reached among members in multiple fields,” Cui Weimin said, “Our intelligence system has collected the movements of various parties and has analyzed this so-called ‘comprehensive cooperation’ content.”
“Simply put, it’s the strictest technology blockade against us in these fields in history!”
He then sent a list, highlighting the relevant technology information.
Upon seeing it, He Xingzhou noted that it could be mainly divided into nine major fields: aerospace, chip technology, communication technology, robotics technology, AI technology, computer technology, energy technology, life sciences, and military technology.
These nine major fields could further be broken down into thousands of smaller projects.
Kong Qing, after reviewing the list, remarked, “As expected. However, there are far fewer items on this list compared to what we had seen before.”
He Hongwei also commented, “Yes, previously there were things like battery technology, ultra-precision processing, industrial software, special metals, bearings, car engines, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Now we have actually become the leaders in these fields!”
Cui Weimin reminded, “This time it’s much more severe than before. Previously, it was just technical restrictions, but this time, they’re willing to endure their own losses to forcibly impose a blockade.”
“For example, chips, I just received information. Bai Ying has already signed a document requiring all chip manufacturers and related technology companies to ban the sale of any high-end chips and related technology!”
“In simple terms, they want to set our chip technology back by five years!”
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
The update cycle for chips was extremely fast, almost a new generation per year. What would it mean to use chips from five years ago? Every industry that relied on chips would start regressing!
Industries such as mobile phones, computers, electromagnetic floating cars, industrial machines, new energy technology, and medical instruments would all be affected!
This would also deal a heavy blow to enterprises in Shen Zhou. For example, in the smartphone sector, which was very dependent on chips, if Apple or Samsung released the latest phone models while domestic phones’ performance regressed by five years, would they still be competitive? The only possible outcome would be bankruptcy, shutting down, and withdrawing from market competition!
“Are they not afraid of our countermeasures?” Lv Mei asked.
Cui Weimin said, “They are afraid, but this time, they seem to have gone all out! Even if they have to bear the losses themselves, they are determined to carry out the plan!”

“This year, our actions have terrified them!” Qin Peng said, “There are even speculations abroad that we are preparing for war, to start a Star Wars.”
“How amusing, do they even need to guess? We are doing just that!”
He Xingzhou said, “…”
Cui Weimin said, “In light of the situation, our reserve institutions have certain preparations. Normal industrial production can be sustained for a year or two without issue. However, for private enterprises, survival will be difficult.”
Just one chip was enough to cause a large number of domestic enterprises to close or go bankrupt!
He Xingzhou’s newly released Spiritual Light Smart Glasses would also be impossible to manufacture without high-end chips!
