That's Hilarious! You Actually Think I Stole Classified Technology?

While studying in the Bald Eagle Nation, Liu Lang takes part in a research project that slashes the cost of lithium-metal batteries, giving him control over a market worth trillions.

He secretly returns to the Dragon Kingdom, only to be immediately wanted by the Bald Eagle Nation, which falsely accuses him of stealing its technological secrets!

Liu Lang chooses to confront the Bald Eagle Nation live: "You say I stole your secrets. Where's the evidence?"

"You stole our lithium-metal battery technology..."

"Lithium-metal batteries? What's that crap? A research project I've already abandoned? I've got brand-new quartz batteries here. They hold a hundred times more power than lithium-metal batteries, use sand as raw material, and cost a hundred times less! Do you have that technology?"

"Do you have a nuclear fusion reactor?"

"Do you have fully intelligent robots?"

"Do you have combat mechs?"

"Do you have intercontinental cannons?"

"Do you have spaceships?"

"..."

"You don't have any of that, so what technological secrets could I possibly have stolen from you?"
