Chapter 254: The Semiconductor Alliance Can’t Sit Still,
Proving the Einstein-Rosen Bridge

The NASA representative was ushered out of the meeting room.
Though it was a misunderstanding, the meeting had to continue, but the focus had now changed.
“These mechanical dogs appearing on the moon indicate they have the capability to land there. But what’s more terrifying is their ability to land on the moon silently under the surveillance of our satellite network and deploy these mechanical dogs to the moon.
Have we considered the consequences if they use this method not just to land on the moon, but to come right above our heads?”
The American persecution complex was acting up again.
In the past year, they had become increasingly anxious and irritable.
To address this, they increased their investment in scientific research, military, and aerospace sectors, reviving some long-dormant plans.
With the infusion of substantial funds, these plans were progressing quickly, and their strength was also increasing.
But the problem was, their adversaries were moving even faster.
Although in recent years the adversary had also been heavily investing in development, the current situation was terrifying.
“We don’t need to worry too much about war. Neither we nor they can afford the consequences of war.
“As long as we are not outclassed in terms of military strength, we don’t need to worry about war. Instead, we should be more concerned about their advancements in the economic and technological fields.
“I saw a report a few days ago, since the beginning of this year, their semiconductor industry has broken free from our restrictions, developing carbon-based semiconductor materials and continuously gaining strength.
“In just half a year, our semiconductor industry has declined by 26.3% compared to last year, and it’s expected to reach 62% by the end of the year. Isn’t this data terrifying?
“Our semiconductor industry is being destroyed. The physical properties of carbon-based materials far exceed those of silicon-based materials Even though our technology is far ahead, the limitations of material properties render our technology worthless, and we are about to lose this trillion-dollar market…”
The think tank members began to analyze the situation of the past half-year in detail, especially in the semiconductor field.
Didn’t they know about this situation before?
They did.
When carbon-based semiconductor materials were first developed, they thought about solving the problem from the source.
Unfortunately, the source of the technology was Crimson Corporation.
They had no way to deal with them.
At that time, the military wanted to take action in Africa, and they put pressure on the other side from various aspects, forcing them to compromise.
The result?
After a proxy war, they were utterly defeated.
The big stick of military power was no longer effective.
The Americans suddenly didn’t know what to do.
In other areas, it would be very difficult to crush a country of similar size. Even if they don’t have an advantage, it’s almost impossible to bring them down.
Under such circumstances, the semiconductor industry was in trouble.
This member of the think tank was paid off.
He first discussed the situation of the semiconductor industry and then threw
out the problem for everyone to think of a solution.
The semiconductor industry must be saved.
Because this industry involves information security, national defense security, and even the future of quantum dominance.
So, no matter what, the semiconductor industry cannot be abandoned.
Other members of the think tank who were also paid began to advocate.
The nation must step in to obtain the technology of carbon-based semiconductors, even if it means giving up some benefits, to ensure the survival of the semiconductor industry.
After the think tank meeting concluded.
A report was formally submitted to Congress, which then began to fight. To save the semiconductor industry, sacrifices in other areas were necessary.
After much consideration, the energy sector seemed like the perfect candidate for these sacrifices.
Internet tycoons and traditional oil giants are not allies in the same trench.
The entities they support are different.
Thus, this battle wasn’t just a clash between two factions; it was also a fight between the internet’s rich heirs and Wall Street capital vs. the traditional oil and energy system’s old capital.
The military-industrial complex stayed out of it, merely observing from the sidelines.
Tang Rui was having breakfast and browsing his phone.
He got up late today, having slept after 3 AM last night.
Staying up late was harmful to one’s health.
But compared to the research breakthroughs from last night, the cost to his health was worth it.
Don’t misunderstand.
He hadn’t solved the problem of information traversal through wormholes. But he had made a significant breakthrough in his research on wormholes and holographic theory, not just a minor one.
This was a top-tier accomplishment in physics.
After breakfast, Tang Rui returned to his lab to write a paper.
He used to dislike writing papers, finding it bothersome.
But now it was different.
He was writing excitedly, even tapping his foot.
“According to the Casimir effect, the closer the distance between two plates the greater the density of negative energy, and the moment entangled quanta collapse…”
Tang Rui, wearing smart glasses, was furiously padding his paper.
Strictly speaking, this shouldn’t be called a paper.
But Tang Rui didn’t care. As long as the theory was correct, even if you padded out an entire book, people would still read it.
On the contrary, no matter how well-formatted, if the theory is wrong, then the paper, no matter how beautifully written, was just trash.
Tang Rui finished writing the theoretical derivation formulas, then began attaching experimental data, spanning over a dozen pages.
“Master, Lin Chao has sent a video communication request. Would you like to connect?” Red Lotus suddenly alerted.
A video from Lin Chao?
Something from above?
Tang Rui was annoyed.
He was happily padding his paper, and this interruption was unwelcome.
Connect it,” Tang Rui said, slightly irritated.
Swipe!
Lin Chao’s holographic image appeared.
President Tang, hope I’m not disturbing you.”
“You are. My inspiration was interrupted.”
“Should I hang up?”
“No, what’s up?”
The International Semiconductor Alliance has sent someone. They want to
talk to you.”
The International Semiconductor Alliance?
What would they want with him, especially since Lin Chao was relaying the
message, indicating the higher-ups had agreed.
“What did the top say?” Tang Rui asked directly.
“If you’re not busy, you could meet them and hear what they have to say.”
“Sorry, I’m busy. I don’t have time to entertain them.”
“Really busy?”
“Of course, I’m researching wormholes.”
“Alright then, I won’t disturb you.”
After ending the call.
Tang Rui put the matter out of his mind and continued padding his paper.
By lunchtime, he had finished his paper.
67 pages.
A total of 130,000 words.
After finishing, Tang Rui didn’t bother to check it and directly uploaded it to a secure database.
This kind of fundamental scientific research could be published, but he didn’t care about the impact factor of journals.
That didn’t matter to him at all.
Besides, publishing in journals was too troublesome, and he didn’t want to bother with it.
“Red Lotus, bring the experimental equipment over.”
After padding his paper, Tang Rui prepared to conduct experiments.
Last night, he had only proven the real existence of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge and discovered that the formation of wormholes was related to negative energy.
But the loss of information after traversing wormholes was a problem he had yet to find a solution to..
