After Handing It Over: I Build a Trillion-Dollar Tech Empire

Li Chen is an ordinary researcher returning from a top overseas laboratory.

On his first day back, a foreign expert mocks him to his face at the airport: “It’ll take Huaxia another fifty years to catch up with our technology.”

Li Chen doesn’t argue, because something has just appeared in his mind:

[The Myriad Worlds Technology Exchange is activated. Available for exchange: complete plans for a 7-nanometer lithography machine. Exchange requirement: a quota of 300 tons of rare earths. Proceed?]

Li Chen selects [Yes] without hesitation.

The next day, the national security department comes knocking. Three hours later, a top-secret national project team codenamed “Longyuan” is established on the spot.

Eight years later:

Huaxia is the world’s leading producer of domestically made chips;

electromagnetic catapult carrier strike groups patrol as a matter of routine;

controlled nuclear fusion power plants light up the night in the first city;

there is only one 6G standard, and it is Huaxia’s standard;

the lunar base and Mars landing programs advance in tandem...

When foreign media reporters ask who is behind it all, the national spokesperson gives only one answer:

“Classified.”

You think the most powerful technology is chips? Wrong. The strongest thing is this:

“Behind me stands an entire nation.”
