When the West's “Silicon Curtain” suddenly descends, chips and computing power become shackles locking away the future, and the technological backbone of the Eastern Great Nation faces the threat of total collapse. Artificial intelligence goes dark, advanced manufacturing grinds to a halt, and their arrogant rivals declare: without their technology, the Eastern Great Nation's AI is a bird with no wings.
But they failed to account for one thing: the foundations are precisely the Eastern Great Nation's greatest weapon.
Cai Jinghe, the man in charge of the energy sector, commands an electric grid that is the nation's lifeblood. Chen Xiaolong, an alchemist of the materials world, battles diamonds in his laboratory. When the blockade comes, Cai Jinghe's limitless electricity becomes the ultimate flame in Chen Xiaolong's hands, igniting “ice diamonds.” A revolutionary synthetic diamond, cheap as sand, becomes the first crack in the “Silicon Curtain.” It is a savior for heat dissipation, and the cornerstone of a semiconductor revolution.
At the same time, Lin Ruolan, a genius in the field of AI, struggles to hold on through the computing-power winter. The combination of “energy + materials” forged by Cai Jinghe and Chen Xiaolong delivers surging computing power and ultimate heat dissipation, driving away the cold for her.
This is a desperate counterattack built around the principle that “foundations determine the heights.” Energy networks, foundational materials, and artificial intelligence: three pillars united to forge an unbreakable technological backbone for the Eastern Great Nation. Patriotism, technological rivalry, and tangled relationships... A sweeping science-fiction epic unfolds. See how we use our own “diamonds” to shatter the Western hegemony's “silicon altar” and light a new path forward for human civilization!
