Deep Market.

The President's Office of Kaitian Technology Co., Ltd.

Deng Qiaoqiao just hung up the phone helplessly.

After learning that the cooperation contract was forcibly terminated, he looked around to see if there were other chip foundries willing to cooperate.

But in fact, he himself knows that such attempts are meaningless.

"Iron still needs to be hard......"

All the depression finally turned into just one sentence.

He let out a long sigh and slumped into his chair.

……

……

When Deng Qiao was helpless......

In fact, in Kyushu, many relevant practitioners and many relevant departments are also running around for this matter.

But, after all, this is a lithography machine......

No is nothing.

Can't just can't.

Even if this is a major event that can be used to set technical standards, if the industry is not complete, it is doomed to failure.

Now, the most advanced lithography machine technology in Dragon Country is only 90nm. This is a world away from the 3nm technology required by current cutting-edge civilian chips.

Originally...... No one pinned their hopes on ethereal prophecies.

But when all efforts are doomed to be in vain......

Many people who are busy with this are beginning to hope for a miracle in their hearts.

"If only the prophecy could come true."

But miracles are miracles......

It means it's almost impossible to happen.

People are well aware of this, so they do not give up the last glimmer of hope because they are pinning their hopes on nothingness.

Maybe...... With their own efforts, can they add so many bricks to the birth of a miracle?

……

……

Another point on the timeline.

August 2, 2022.

At this time, the moon was already hanging high.

After Lu Yun parked the car, he stood in the blind spot in front of the Xianyang Palace Museum.

I opened the time door and stepped inside.

He locked the target point in time of his upcoming trip to 210 B.C.E.

But he had just finished locking it, but he felt that the timeline around him seemed to be a little different from the usual situation.

It's an extremely strange feeling.

If you look at it as a whole, you can't see anything unusual here.

But when Lu Yun was placed in this timeline, he could feel a strange distortion of the timeline in the time gate.

He took a closer look...... Only then did I find out that in the timeline between 217 BC and 202 BC, there was a strange bulge!

"It's ......"

Seeing this scene, Lu Yun was a little surprised for a while.

But he quickly thought of the reason for such a strange change.

Although Lu Yun has completed the task of repairing the first timeline, he has also restored the timeline that is about to collapse to its normal state......

But it was in 217 BC that he changed history.

Even though the timeline has been stabilized again by its powerful self-healing abilities, the changes that have been made have appeared on the timeline like a patch.

After Lu Yun figured this out, he also had some spectrum in his heart.

It's just that he is becoming more and more curious......

How did the timeline affect Qin Shi Huang, so that Qin Shi Huang, who had already embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, did not change the entire historical pattern?

At this time, he had stepped into the Xianyang Palace in 210 BC.

The Xianyang Palace at night also looks extremely magnificent under the shroud of the moonlight, and every time I see this scene, I can't help but sigh a little in my heart.

However, in order to complete the task of developing the 2nm lithography machine, Lu Yun did not indulge in it here, but quickly walked towards the dormitory in the night.

……

It didn't take long for Lu Yun to stand in front of Qin Shi Huang's couch.

This scene is too strong for Lu Yun, after all, in Lu Yun's perception, it has only been more than ten hours since he last saw Qin Shi Huang......

For Qin Shi Huang, he has been waiting for seven years for this reunion.

Lu Yun looked at Qin Shi Huang who was wearing a black dragon robe, and was a little glad that he was not wearing a bed robe this time.

It seems that Qin Shi Huang, who is already familiar with the life of an immortal cultivator, has given up on such a thing as sleep.

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang got up from the couch and still saluted Lu Yun respectfully.

"Immortal ......"

"Seven years apart."

"I miss it very much."

Of course, Lu Yun thought that there would be a conversation related to the time span.

So I didn't show any other emotions.

Just asked simply and straightforwardly: "What are you cultivating now?" ”

Although Lu Yun didn't know how fast Qin Shi Huang's cultivation was, since he could soar after two thousand years, he was naturally talented.

Considering that he gave a Zhuji Dan, it is estimated that Qin Shi Huang also skipped the Qi refining period and started directly from Zhuji.

Seven years have passed, and now it should be a slight achievement.

And what Lu Yun needs for this plan is the combat power of the cultivators.

However, when Lu Yun asked this sentence, he saw Qin Shi Huang frowning.

"What kind of cultivation is it?"

He pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Shangxian, this cultivation is ......"

"How should it be divided?"

When Lu Yun heard this question, he was also stunned for a moment.

Indeed, where did Qin Shi Huang know about the many realms of cultivating immortals?

However, before Lu Yun could open his mouth, Qin Shi Huang had already opened his mouth first.

"If the immortals want to see the results of my cultivation......"

"But it's not like there's no way to ......"

As soon as Qin Shi Huang's voice fell, it was a masterpiece of golden light in this palace!

A brilliant and incomparably bright golden pill slowly emerged from Qin Shi Huang's body, and an extremely mysterious aura enveloped Lu Yun's whole body in just an instant!

It was an indescribably powerful force, and when Lu Yun saw this scene, he only felt his scalp tingle!

"Jindan!?"

Lu Yun was stunned.

After only seven years, I thought that he would at most have a slight success in the foundation building period......

But he actually reached the Jindan realm directly!?

Seven years of Jindan Realm!?

Looking at this golden light, full of domineering and domineering Jin Dan, Lu Yun deeply understood that this was not just the Jin Dan Realm......

This has even reached the point of the middle stage of the Jindan Realm!

Han Li was more than a hundred years old when he was married, and Qin Shi Huang practiced for seven years in the middle of the golden pill!?

Or can you reach this point without any cultivation exercises......

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

But thinking that Qin Shi Huang took 2,200 years to ascend, it seems that under this calculation, there seems to be no problem.

It can only be said that he is worthy of Qin Shi Huang.

"No...... Not bad. ”

Although Lu Yun was a little in a trance at this time, he hadn't forgotten to answer.

"Looks like you're very talented at this."

And at this moment, Qin Shi Huang's power is so strong, which is even more suitable for Lu Yun's plan.

At this time, he looked at Yingzheng, who had already put away Jindan, calmed down, and said:

"In that case."

"Yingzheng."

"Come with me."

Qin Shi Huang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going...... Whence? ”

Lu Yun smiled and replied:

"Future."
