So Much for the Experts! Our Industrial Crown Jewels Are Being Snatched Away

After Chen Fan transmigrated to a parallel world, he discovered that the technology of Longguo had yet to take off. It was still an era when public intellectuals ran rampant.

"A ballpoint pen refill may seem insignificant, but not a single factory in our country can produce one."

"A city's conscience is reflected in its sewers. A country's industrial strength is measured by whether it can produce pen refills!"

"Pen refills are the brightest jewel in the crown of industry."

After awakening the System, he began face-slapping the public intellectuals.

Chen Fan: "You mean pen-tip steel? No problem, I've made it. For half the price of imports."

In no time, foreign companies went bankrupt, and the public intellectuals were left red-faced.

"A great industrial nation isn't defined by how many aircraft carriers it builds, but by a single DSLR camera. That's the real jewel!"

The public intellectuals kept hyping things up: high-speed rail nuts, lighter gaskets, aircraft carrier arresting cables, lithography machines, high-end chips...

Chen Fan was ready to take on anyone. He not only developed every one of them, but made them as cheap as cabbage.

Before long, foreign companies were cursing.

"Public intellectuals, stop hyping things up! Keep it up and we'll all go bankrupt!"

"Please, we're begging you. Leave us a way to survive!"
